 President Pease's Address.
 President Pease said that the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce is not an organization apart from the local chamber. Your membership it it's membership; your strength is its strength. The local was originally formed to promote the good of the community in which it exists, and most such matters it can best seek to bring about through its own unaided efforts. But there are some things which 1t can do better for itself by com mbining with other similar organ izations. This 1t does through the state body, and acconplishes things which it could not alone. For instance, in the enactment of beneficial laws The law passed by the last legislature reducing the amount of wages exempt from foreign attachment from $25 to

Westerly Granite


 The present high cost of Westerly, R. l., granite encourages substitution. Some dealers in monuments will argue that other cheaper granites are just as good and endeavor to persuade you to use them. But short visit to a. cemetery with someone who can point out the different granites will con- vince you that the best material for the modern types of monuments IS Westerly.
 There Is some difference in the pro- duct of the principal quarries at Westerly. Each of the companies has B stone that is preferable for certain kinds of work. The best quarry for hammered work is not the best for polished monuments.
 We are free to select for our memorials the particular granite best adapted to its design, and we buy nothing but the best, first quality stone; no quarry seconds and no stone from the small quarries that are "ofe color."

MARKET QUIET BUT
 GENERALLY STlA I
Reports of Good Spot Demand Sustain PriceS-CiOse 2 to , Up-DrOuth Reported Broken in Central Texas.

New York, March 29.-The cotton market continued quiet but showed a generally steady tone today on reports of a good spot demand and the ap- pearance of little trade demand for old crop months. July contracts sold off to 12.03c early, but advanced to 12.12c in the late trading and closed at 12.11c with the general list closing steady at net advance of 2 to , points.
 The opening was unchanged to 4 points lower and the active positions sold about 3 to points under last nights closing figures right after the call. The forecast for unsettled wea- ther in the western belt probably Caused some scattering liquidation, but offerings were well taken with Liverpool buyer of July and October and the market soon steadied De- mand was by no means active or gen eral, but offerings were light and the market showed increasing steadiness during the afternoon with May selling up to 12.0lc and October to 1223c in the late trading, or about to points net higher. The close was within a point or two of the best.
 The narrowing of the difference be- tween May and July to about 10 points attracted some attention. Some press advices reached here indicating that the rains last week had broken the drouth in Central Texas and private reports said these rains had been beneficial over Oklahoma and parts of Texas, but there was some buying of new crop positions during the day.
 Cotton closed steady.

q TOLD YOU SO
 FAMILY" HOLD CENTER
City Election Next Week. School Election in May and General Elections in NOvem- ber-Republican Candidates.
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, March 30.-The "I told you so" family are holding the center of the stage in Arkansas politics. Bets are being paid, and there have not been many this time-and defeated candidates are wondering when they will pay the debts that have been as sumed during the last few strenuous months.
 A prominent state official told the writer a few days ago that he is still paying large amount every month on account of the expenses of an un- successful campaign he made four years ago. Is it worth the cost? That is the question that is being asked today in all seriousness by not only the defeated candidates but those that have been successful. It is a most expensive game, and measured alone by the monetary emoluments of office, it is not worth the candle. Of course. this is purely academic theor- izing, repeated every two years about this time, and has about as much ef- feet as the proverbial rain-water on ducks back, upon those who have become inoculated with the office holding virus. But who will deny that 1 it is true?
 But now that the great primary is over, that does not mean surcease from politics for the next year. Like the widows cruse of oil, the political pot never lacks ingredients for stew, l There will be the city elections next week, the school elections in May, and the general elections in November, | And the summer tedium will be re- lieved with national politics, in the nomination of candidates for the Pres idency by the two big parties, and the half dozen side-show party organiza- tions, enough to keep business dis turbed, and to furnish a diversion from the war news.
 Now that the Democrats have at last nominated candidate for gover- nor after more than year of worry and futile prophesying, the victorious aspirant will have the easy task of disposing of the Republican nominee. There is big question mark after the c. 0. P. nominee, also, although it can be more easily removec than has been possible for the Democrats. There promises to be an interesting contest for the empty honor of being Republican standard bearer. To be defeated as a candidate for Governor on the Republican ticket used to mean an application of salve in the form of
