COTTON FUTURES ACT
 GOOD INFLUENCE
fBv w. W. MORRISON)

The cotton futures act is exercising q wide influence and there IS every reason to believe that il will continue to do SO This influence has been of the most wholesome character. moi only as it has affected the cotton in- dustry. but as 1t has sympathetically affected every other industry in the south. Since it Is an important fac tor in the present situation. it seems we'll fo review in some detail the re- forms il has brought about and the means through which they were ac- complished.
 Antedating the act there was some times difference of from four 10 six dollars a bale and ever more. be- tween spot cotton and future con- tracts which often prevailed over extended periods. This was due to manipulation made possible by a de- fcctive contract. and to its being ad- ministered without legal responsibility. Groups of spectators would combine and bv concentrating enormous buy ing or selling in one direction. defect the market favorable to their interest For perfectly obvious reasons, this deflection was often away from the markets logical trend.
 These heavy transactions of com bined operators were based primarily upon the Knowledge that the future contract did not then reflect the value of the actual cotton, and too. in many
 instances no foubt upon the knowl- edge before hand that some sort Of uartial ruling could be secured. This ruling usually affected the delivery of cotton on contract in one way CT another. fasorable tn the interest of the combination as agatngt those who held the opposing interest which gen. eraliy meant the aahlic. Such ad vantages are no longer possible. for the future conirac, HOW reflects the value of the actual cotton and the consummaifon Of the contract is en- foreed by the federal government, it. self. with absolute impartiality.
 With the passing of these advan- tages there passed also. as q logical sequence, those m3nipulations which had been d baleful influence in cot ton affairs for so many years. If is true. that there have been some sud- den and broad fluctuations since tho act became law. but it is clear that fl was not due to manipulation. but to the unusual conditions which have existed. Ii IS true also that con- centrated selling or buying can still influence prices, but to any careful student it k plain. that under the new regime this influence has stead ily become more and more insignifi- cant To carry an interest through such attacks does not now entail anything like the serious burden that ii did under the old regime
 The parity between the price of spot cotton and the price of future contracts continues also at times to oe disturbed. In every case. however it has been restored with reasonable promptness by the obvious pressure which the federal law constantly puts on the future market tod maintain that parity The wide differences however extending over long periods, go notable in the past and to which we have referred. are no longer in evidence, nor have they been since

INTERESTING REPORT SUBMITTED
 BY THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES

The excellent work done by the Associated Charities during the past year is well set forth in the follow ing report. prepared for The Repub- lican by Miss Chrissie Gilchrist, su- perintendent.
 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
 On December l 1915, the city com mission assumed the rental of the Old Parish house, the property of the Trim ity Episcopal church. and the Associat- ed Charities took possession. The new quarters afforded opportunities for eX- banding the work and facilitating all the necessary operations of the office. Reception rooms and private office. a small assembly room. clothes room, small closets for supplies and kitchen and bath rooms open many roads to new work. The church kindly left range and tables for use when needed.
 The front doors have been glazed and the offices thus made much more cheerful
 The gift of two rugs by Miss Helen Armstrong has added greatly to the cheerfulness and comfort of the rooms, and since November l. desk and of- flee chair has been received from Mir. Roy $. Goodrich.
 District Committees
 There are now twenty -four commit tees, although the death of Mrs. Laura Billups and the removal of five others, has diminished the number and strength of this effective arm of the en- terprse The rummage sale, begin ming in November 1915 and carried through until March 1, 1916. was sue cessful in cash proceeds and still more successful in giving employment to both men and women otherwise unem- ployed. Some sixty different persons were given work from one to ten days and paid either in cash or in clothing.
 The sale was held in a building whose use was donated by Mir. George Luhrs.
 The district committees also took charge of the banquet given for the Jefferson society in April
 Friendly Visitors
 The friendly visitors have somewhat merged their work in that of the dis trict committees. In October, they also conjoined with St. Winifred's Guild of the Cathedral and now their number is increased from ten to twen- ty. while the Guild is devoting a part of it's efforts to sewing for dependents of the charities.
 Mothers Circle
 Under the Friendly Visitors and the district committees has originated the most important movement of the year. in fact of the past years A group of mothers of families not dependent but in narrow circumstances meet weekly in the little rest room of the Charities building. They confer on household matters and are instructed in handling clothing for making ovef. fabrics, trim

mings, styles and color combinations. Child welfare will be definitely taken up in January. and course of short talks followed.
 Emergencies
 The past year has brought seven fire emergencies, when families were rem dered either temporarily or wholly destitute. Seven new born babies have been outfitted and half a dozen par tially provided with clothing, Six fam lilies were helped in the flood time and this particular emergency called for forty pieces of bedding. only half of which we could supply.
 number of donations of food and groceries have been received, amount ing in value to s100.
 Friends in the Christian church and Presbyterian church. in the Cathedral congregation and members of Sunday school classes and Aid societies have helped in clothing certain families. Tents floored. operations financed, glasses furnished, eyes treated, teeth and ears cared for, wayward girls as- sisted, homes found for three children. one family sent to the hills for the summer. another helped to recuperate in Prescott. an old lady's property saved for her by a small loan. five ped dlers wholly or partially outfitted,. wa ter rents and gas bills arranged for d deserting husband brought back, five cases taken to the juvenile court, milk and medicine for sick babies-all this in addition to the usual material re- lief, i. e.. rents paid. food and fuel. drugs, medical attention. charity rates for tickets. house and business fur nishings, letters written to locate friends and nearly two hundred tele- grams sent to secure funds or explain the situation of dependents.
 Christmas
 Mrs <. J. Ross and friends furnished the County Tuberculosis hospital and the Florence Crittenton home with turkey dinners and fixin's at Christ mas time. Also. similar dinner was served at the Charities building for ten homeless strangers. Gifts of sweat CTS and underwear accompanied these dinners
 By the kindness of Mir. Harry TritIe and friends, one hundred and twelve families enjoyed a New Year dinner of game.
 The Friday club. as usual, made a bountiful cash donation. and Mrs. Marshall and Miss Ellen Conway and friends donated the proceeds of beau- tifEl bazaar
 To the foregoing. thanks are surely due, as also to the Ed Redmond com pany for the benefit in April and to the officers of the Jefferson society. who made every effort to render the banquet successful.
 To both Mayors Young and Corp stein and the members of the city commission. as we'll as to Manager Craig, the charities are greatly in-

 Upon the whole the result has been to justify and to inspire public con- fidence in the fairness of the future market This is shown by the enor nous preponderance of interest now represented by individual initiative. as compared with the concentrated interest acting in concert.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
COMES To SUCCESSFUL CLOSE
ASQUlTA'S TRIP
To DUBLIN WAS A
STROKE OF GENIUS

LONDON. May i2.-I1:32 p. m
Premier Asquith's sudden resolve 10
go To Dublin. which was hailed by his
supporters as stroke of genius. has
had the effect OF assuaging political
passions. Parliament does not meet
for three days and the fact that there
was no sessions today helped TO bring
about ~-y of calm. in strange con
trast 10 yesterdays sensations.
The only new fact concerning fne
situation in ireland is that two other
leaders in the rebellion. whose eNecu-
tion was delayed by Premier Asquith's :
undertaking that there would be no
further executions until after parlia-
ment had debated John Dinon's mo
ton. have been put to death. They
We're James Connolly. one OF the sign
ers OF the proclamation of the Iriss
republic. and John McDermott.
Much regret is expressed by infu-
ential liberal newspapers that the gov
ernment failed 10 stop the execution
OF Connolly and MCpermOtt. The Man
chester Guardian and the nation con
tend that cOmmutation of these sen
tences would have been not only elem
ency but policy.
Premier Asquith appears to have
spent the day in Dublin seeing officials
there and acquainting himself person
ally with the situation.
