possible to break up the con-

Officers and Contractors
Secretary Daniels expert
ence is doubly interesting in
view of the fact that special
board representing the war
department has Just reported
against government manufac-
ture of munitions of war. The
maj jority of the members of
the board were regular army
officers and they undoubtedly
dictated the report.
The army contractors are al
ways on good terms with the
army officers. The latter, so
far as the records show have
done little or nothing to block
the formers graft. All ad-
vances in the direction of gov
ernment manufacture have
been secured through Con-
gress and the army officers
have either been opposed or
Indifferent.
The combination of officers
and contractors is a powerful
one and its influence is felt in
both the war and navy depart
ments. If the secretary falls
in with the plans of the COM
bine he is lauded as a great
man who would make an ex-
cellent president. If he devel-
ops a mind of his own-if he
displays the traits of a Daniels
he is slandered and lam
pooned by every organ that
the combine can control.
Hypnotizing the Secretaries
Most of the secretaries fall
under the spell of the combine
before they have been in office
a month. They become mere
figureheads and all their
thinking is done for them by
the officers who made up their
staffs.
There are many honest, cap
able and patriotic men among
the army and navy officers.
The majority, however, devote
most of their waking hours to
the consideration of plans for
securing promotions for them
selves. They hound members
of Congress, always begging
for more, more, and still more.
When they are not pursuing
promotions they are dancing
attendance on social functions
Afternoon teas, evening re-
ceptions and dinner dances.
They neither understand
nor care for public opinion.
They believe that their views
concerning every question re-
lating to the army and the
navy should be accepted with
out hesitation and acted upon
at once.
They feel that the sole func-
ton of Congress is to provide
the money, and their most per-
sistent complaint is that Con-
gress does not "come through"
with sufficient alacrity and
generosity. The fact that the
treasury is empty, that new
taxes must be levied and that
a bond issue is threatened
means nothing to them. They
cannot be bothered with such
sordid details.
Just now they are having
their own way here in Wash
ington. They are squandering
the peoples money as it has
never been squandered in the
history of a civilized country,
but there are signs that they
have overdone the thing and
that a reaction is setting in.
Lincoln put it: All the peo-
pie may be fooled some of the
time, and some Of the people
all of of the time, but all of the

BIG GRAFT IN WAR MUNITIONS HEADED
OFF TO AN EXTENT BY SECRETARY DANIELS
BY EDWARD HEATING
Congressman from the Third Colo
RADIO District.

Washington, D. c., Jan. s.
An illustration of the way the
American people are being
robbed in the name of "Pre-
paredness" was given a few
days ago when the secretary
of the navy opened bids for the
big ID and 16 inch shells for
Uncle Sans new dread
noughts. Four American and
one English company submit
ted proposals.
On the 16 inch shell, the
first of this type made for our
navy, the lowest American bid
was, $500 shells in thirty-two
months at $3.50 each.
The English bid was 5000
shells in 16 months at $513
each.
On the IA inch shells the
lowest American bid was
1000 shells in % months at
$500 each, while the English
bid was 4,5O0 shells in II
months at 1856 each.
Good Work by Daniels
Secretary Daniels is largely
responsible for the English bid.
Before he took charge of the
navy department, the contrac-
tors had things pretty much
their own way. They divided
the work among themselves
and charged "all the traffic
would bear" There was no
real competition.
Then in the spring of 1914
Secretary Daniels succeeded in
inducing an English concern to
submit bid. Up to that time
the IA inch shells had cost the
government $40O each. The
moment the Americans discov-
cred they had rival they
could not control they dropped
the price to $315, a saving to
the federal treasury of SITS on
every ID inch shell made.
The European war began in
August, 1914, and in the fall
of that year the English shell
makers found themselves un-
able to compete for American
business, and they did not sub
init bids. The patriotic Amer
lean manufacturers discover
ing this Immediately raised the
price of IA inch shells to $415.
This year, as l showed above,
they attempted to drive the
price to $500 and they would
have succeeded had it not been.
for the reappearance of the
English rivals.
On the basis of the English
bids, Secretary Daniels has
saved the government on this
one contract $1,059,OOO. And
this is the man who has been
abused by the "kept" aapere
and magazines of "Bis Bust
ness" more than any other of
fetal connected with the Will
son administration.
His great offense has been
that he has dared oppose

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 9.--Today's ses- sion of the cotton market here opened with a stiff advance stimulated chiefly by the great strength of the spot sit uation, the small ginning returns to the end of December and the rise in other markets during the holiday here yester- day. At the highest of the day, the strongest months were half a cent a pound over last weeks close.
 In the early trading active months rose il to 31 points. The ginning figures of Il ,045,O00 bales turned out to the last of December, were about as expected by bullish traders, but some use was made of the fact that they indicated an outpu. this last period of only 199,0o0 bales, against 470,s17 this period last year, which was accepted in some quarters as mean ing crop exhaustion.
 The market was flooded with reports from the interior telling of an all devour- ing demand, and only slender offerings. After a reaction around the middle of the morning on realizing by longs, which carried the price down to a level points over to points under Saturdays close, the market commenced to advance again and in the early afternoon was at it's highest, a net gain of to 50 points.
 Realizing set in again toward the close, which was at a net gain of to S7 points.

ADVANCE FOLLOWS
 AN EARLY DECLINE
Census Figures BulIish, But Their Publication Started
 Active Realizing

New York, January 9.--An early decline was followed by an advance into new high ground for the movement in the cot
 ton market this afternoon with May con- tracts selling at 1s.OSc, or sl per bale above last nights closing figures Offerings in creased sharply in the late trading, how ever. and that delivery closed at 1s.s9c. with the general list closing unsettled at net advance of to points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of point on January, but gener- ally to F points lower in response to relatively easy cables The census figures
 showing 11,O45,225 bales ginned to January were considered more bullish than other wise, but seemed to be the signal for
 rather active realizing on the part of re- | cent buyers, while the advance approxi-
 mately 245 points from the low level of last month appeared responsible for re- l actionary sentiment The market was
 easier right after the opening and before
 the end of the first hour sold at about F
 to 31 points net lower. Offerings seemed | to be pretty well absorbed around Is. BOG for March and 1S.66c for July, however,
 and the market developed increased
 strength during the middle of the day. ror a tune buying by brokers with Wall street and western connections was &C.,
 tive, while early sellers appeared to be
 covering and there was continued de- tnand from spot house sources on the ad-
 vance which carried March up to 1S.S1c
 and July to 19.10c during the afternoon. This made net advance of 16 to 20 points
 on the active deliveries and realizing was heavy in the last few minutes, with the
 close showing reactions of b to 19 points | from the best There was no change in
 the general character of the news from
 the south. private wires received here re- porting continued firmness in the interior. 1 Private cables indicated a narrow mar
 ket in Liverpool with scattering liquida- | ton absorbed by continental and trade buying. The census figures indicated a
 ginning of 200,552 bales between December l 13 and January 1, or the smallest for the
 period on record. No change was re- ported in the ocean freight situation.

ical as it may seem. after the reading of the report, the market opened 3 to $ lower and after the call, broke quite sharply.
 However. local support came to the fore and after considerable hesitation, prices began to advance. Just before 2 o'clock May sold at 1s.99c; and as con- siderable cotton was offered at 19 cents. prices eased. May sold at 18.9Oc, but later, on good local buying, advanced to 1s0Sc.
 At this stage prominent local opera tor appeared on the scene and after watching the situation closely offered 10000 May at 19.06c This was not taken and when May touched 19 cents he increased his offer to 5000 bales at the latter figures.
 These offerings checked the ardor of the bulls and inspired quite general local liquidation, which carried May down to lS.S9c. The market since the recent low point has advanced 2SO points. or SIS per bale.
 Many people believe that the advance has been too extreme. We are of the opinion that May will cross 1850 before February 1. Meantime, however, sharp reactions are possible, on which we favor purchases. We think the highest prices of the season are yet to be seen, but do not look for any immediate spectacular advance. A recurrence of the markets of 1909-10 are possible temporarily. Quick advances will doubtless encourage liqui- dation, sharp brakes may inspire heavy buying. The ultimate result, from our point of view, means higher prices. Mean time, in our opinion, no one can be ma terially embarrassed by buying on sharp breaks. provided contracts are afforded proper protection.

Railroad Improvements
 Under Way at Prattville

Prattvlle, January 9.-(Special) )-The Mobile and Ohio railroad commenced work on it's new depot for Prattville this morning, and when finished it will be one |of the best on the Montgomery branch. The citizens have been asking for this im- provement for several years They gladly welcome the carpenters and workn1en on the work.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad has finished a. coat of paint, a new roof and otherwise improved their depot for Prattville. This shows that Prattville patronage to railroads is very much ap- preciated.
 The work of replacing the break in the dam during the high water last July Is approaching completion. very much to the satisfaction of the mill. men. It will be remembered that the cotton mill has been unable to run all of its machinery since the high water in July of last year, in consequence of the break in the dam. The management has been compelled to operate a part of the machinery at night to keep the mill going, and to keep up with orders

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, January s.-Attempts that
 holders of wheat made today to realize
 profits caused a material setback in
 prices. The outcome was a weak close.
 lIka224c net lower, with May at slS6%0
 l.s7e. and July at S.51al51A Corn fin-
 ished 15sG1Ac down, oats off hc to z9
 7sc. and provisions varying from 71kc de- cline to rise of 20c.
 Throughout the day the wheat market
 gave continued signs of being top heavy. Notwithstanding that early trading
 showed a fresh advance, it was soon ap- parent that the buying power in the pit lacked volume. Final quotations proved to be almost the lowest of the day despite estimates that new export business amounted to fully 100000 bushels. One of the reasons for the comparative weak ness was that dispatches from Argen- tina said 1S,750000 bushels were available
 there for export. whereas the trade here had assumed that the Argentine surplus did not exceed 5,009000 bushels.
 | Action of the British government in withholding all information as to prices
 at Liverpool tended further to deter spec
 ulative buying of wheat in Chicago. Bulls
 were also disconnected to some extent by
 the fact that reports concerning the Eu- ropean visible supply seemed to likeWise have been suppressed.
 Regardless of large sales of corn to be
 shipped to the seaboard, the market for that cereal eased off with wheat. Adyices of big crop damage in Argentina had only a transient stimulating effect.c Trade in
 oats was light. Price changes merely re- flected the course of other grain.
 | Higher quotations on hogs strengthened provisions The bulge, however, brought out rather free selling, which afterward led to a moderate sag in prices of lard. Future quotations were as follows;

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 9-while the gin- ners report was about what was ex- pected, it brought about some outside realizing, as it indicated that the crop was fully as large as the government estimate of last month.
 On the decline the recent buyers ab- sorbed the offerings, which had not gone into the hands of the trade, and gradu- ally the market under their buying ad- vanced to the high point on this second advance 1910 for July. Spot houses have been slow sellers all day, and at the close the trader who led the first advance of the year appeared as heavy seller, greatly to the surprise of the other buyers. Under his efforts prices declined some 15 points from the top.
 This new selling seems to be based on the idea that at this point the increased idea of the yield, as compared with the estimates early in the season, indicates larger supply than necessary.
 Liverpool cables says principal mer- chants are doing little and there is no desire to speculate
