The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-08-24

The President has indicated that
he would veto the immigration bill if
it should embrace the literacy test.
The President, as usual, is right.
Much of the Drawn and brain of this
country, its best and most useful
citizenship, would have been exclud-
ed had this test been applied to
those who sought shelter on our
shores. If an immigrant has a
sound mind in sound body, and is
free from the blight of a criminal
or vicious record, let him have his
chance in this land where honest
and intelligent labor can lay the
foundation for a structure of culti-
waited and intellectual citizenship in
succeeding generations.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-08-24

A dispatch from Barlow states
that attorneys for Mr.. Cats en-
deavored to have the inspectors and
clerks in certain precincts of Polk
county refuse to make recount.
Why? Isn't any honest man willing
to have an unintentional error cor
rected? The Polk county election
managers knew they had counted
the ballots honestly, and they
couldn't see why, when a recount
was asked, it should not be made.
They found some errors-honest,
unintentional errors-and they cor
rected them Similar corrections
are going on all over the State.
When all have been made and their
authenticity vouched for by the
legitimate tribunals, the people will
know Just who is the Democratic
nominee. This paper and all other
true Democrats will stand by the
nominee just as soon as it is known
who this is.

Up in North Carolina a woman
tried to lease the labor of her hus-
band, who had been sentenced to a
prison term, but the law or the au-

a good many men who might, with
profit to themselves and the STATE,
be leased to their wives, and give the
latter an opportunity to get Sc me
work out of them.

Wheat.-For short time yesterday
wheat prices continued to move up
ward, with Chicago September con-
tracts again in the lead, and rising 70
a new high point. Shortly thereafter
the course was reversed and the clos
ing was lower than on Friday. There
seemed to be no special feature In the
news to<warrant the decline and II
was ascrlbed in the main 10 turther
desire to take profits over the week
end. Something was heard regarding
the supposedly poor outlook for
speedy settlement of the railroad strike
as a depressing factor, but later ad-
vices threw a more hopeful light on
the matter. Some holders sold be-
cause of rather better adyices from
parts of Canada, but officials in the
big Saskatchewan district added their
confirmation 10 earlier rust damage re-
ports, and stated that the crop would
WELD about twelve or fifteen bushels
10 the acre. Messages from Canadian
trade sources were more emphatic, one
claiming that no wheat of contract
grade would be secured. The growing
strength of the cash situation con-
tinues TO attract attention, and IL IS
feared that September short sellers
may find themselves in trouble ere
long, because other large centres are
taking large quantities out OF the
Southwestern markets, and before long
may be drawing on the Chicago stocks
unless prices in that market go TO
much higher levels. IL is interesting
10 note that December wheat closed
al &c over September. Early in tae
day it was only hc over, whereas a
week ago il was 37sc over. South
western cash markets remain strong
and Omaha reported that exporters
and spring wheat millers were still
after large quantities. In some quar-
tiers the selling was based on rumors
that Argentine wheat was TO be shipped
10 this country. but there was great
deal of skepticism on this point. Ac-
cording 10 some members of the trade,
the wheat was destined for Liverpool,
but was 70 be trans-shipped at this
port. because the freight charges could
be reduced about zoe by this route.
Low temperatures were reported in
Canada and light frost at some places.
Moreover, II is feared that there may
be rains over the week end. which will
not be welcome in the harvest fields.
Liverpool prices scored another ad-
vance because conditions are still IN

Cotton

On the whole the list was higher at
the close yesterday, but there was more
resistance to the advance and rather
sharp reaction occurred at one time.
Influenced by strong crop conditions on
the one hand and weak technical con-
ditons on the other, the market was
subject to numerous variations. ana
at one time prices suffered somewhat
severe reaction. Trading was active
and excited at the outset and 1t was
evident that Fridays remarkable up
turn had brought out great number
of buying orders from the so !called
outside spectators. The crop news
was of the same pessimistic character,
there being no break in the drouth
over the Southwest, while reports from
Alabama and Mississippi mentioned
general heavy shedding and poor fruit
ING of the crop. Nevertheless, a note
of warning is sounded by conservative
traders. many Of whom believe that
the recent advance has been entirely
too radical. limitations that margins
of So per bale would soon be required
seem to suggest that substantial re-
actions, and violent recoveries are
anticipated. The opening upturn led
to great deal of general liquidation,
partly prompted by the forecast for
unsettled weather in Oklahoma and
Arkansas, it being thought that there
might be rains elsewhere in the South
west before Monday. The New YORK
Cotton Exchange will be closed on
Saturday, September 2. as well as on

psny, has this 10 say on the situation
Notwithstanding the heavy volume OF
copper which Europe Will require
whether in time of peace or war, II
does not follow that there will be any
lack OF ample supplies for all domestic
requirements. The position OF the
copper industry Is such that further
capacity can be added to the highest
maximum rate OF output yet attained.
If the world should be able TO absorb
more copper in 1917 than the amount
consumed in 1916 productive enterprise
can still jump output ahead OF all pre-
vious records. Consumption OF copper
is of huge proportions, and should
manufacturers and consumers continue
