SUFFRAGE STATES PROTECT
MOTHERS.

Washington, March Shy Union
Associated Press )-Suffragists here,
who are working in the cause ,of .
national suffrage amendment to the
Constitution are making capital out
Of the fact that in spite of the wide
spread agitation of mothers PEN
sions, it is only the equal suffrage
states that have lined up in a solid
phalanx (l0O per cent? for this first
aid to the destitute home maker. In
eighteen male suffrage states (50) per
cent, of the mothers are helped by
the government to support her chill
dren. Contrasts show that the West
ern group is more generous than the
others in its degree Of help. For in
stance, in New York, the mother must
work when the father is disabled, and
she received only ten dollars month
for the first child. In Wyoming a
mother is pensioned if the father is
disabled, dead or had deserted the
family, and twenty dollars a month
is allowed for the first child. The
suffragists say that these facts are
telling a. much for their cause u any
arguments ever made.

WILSON WILL SOON ACT TO
RELIEVE SHIPPING TIE Up
May Decide to Have Vessels Conveyed, May Take
Them Over as Navy Auxiliaries or May Call
Special Session Of Congress-
(By Associated Press)

Washington, March 8-Signs con-
tinue' to multiply today that Presi-
dent Wilson will soon act to relieve
the suspension of American shipping
caused by fear of the German sub
marine campaign. It was not made
clear whether he would decide for
armed vessels to convoy them, have
them taken over by the government
SO that they might be armed as auxil-
iaries Of the navy or call a special
session of Congress to take up new
the Armed Neutrality bill.
Majority Leader Kitchen, of the
House, told his colleagues that an ex-
ira session would be arranged not lat
er than the middle Of May.
The President has been advised that
he has sufficient power to arm Amer
lean merchantmen without awaiting
the action Of Congress and some off,
cials believe that he will act on this
advice forthwith.
There undoubtedly exists a senti-
ment for the calling of an extra ses-
sion of Congress to meet in the near
future.

CHICAGO PROVISIONS.
NEW YORK COTTON OIL MARKET
DAILY COTTON LETTER.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New Orleans, March 8-The urgent
necessity of assistance to shipping is
generally recognized. New York says
that scarcity of tonnage and the news
of submarine results caused gener-
al rise in freights and insurance rates.
The rate to Genoa advances from
$3.50 to $5.a hundred. War risk rate
to England advanced from six and
seven per cent to 8 to 10 per cent.
Washington says the President will
act within a few days. Possibilities
are the arming of merchantmen by
the government despite prohibitive
statutes, the conveying Of vessels by
warships. The immediate calling of
an extra session and placing under
government control ships desiring to
pass through the danger zone. All
Liverpool rates were withdrawn here
this morning. Liverpool should have
come 26 points lower on the action
of our markets since Tuesday but re-
mained practically unchanged on fu-
lures and quoted prices in spots six
higher, sales 5000. This action is
but another demonstration of the
existing difficulties Of importation.
Our market opened unchanged to
slightly lower with new crops easiest
because Offering greater safety to
traders. There is feeling that some
important developments in politics
will occur in the near future, which
checks support and invites selling.
On the whole, however, there is con-
fident belief that some means will be
found to improve shipping and that
the consumption of cotton for the
season will not be affected. There is
no reason for holders to get uneasy,
cotton is too great necessity and de-.
mand must come to them before long.
Meanwhile futures are already so far
below spots that there seems no rea-
son for decline except by bear pres
sure. North Alabama wires improv-
ed demand and very high basis as bid.
Spots firmly held for twenty cents
Spots here are strong no

LOSES FAVOR HERE.

Judging from the conversation of
representative business and profess
sional men of Greenwood who have
been free to discuss the recent action
Of Mississippi's Junior member Of
the United States Senate in regard
to the Armed Neutrality Bill, that
gentleman has lost great deal of his
popularity in this city. Reports from
over the state are to the effect that
the same thing has happened else
where.
In the rounds of news gathering
since the Senate adjourned without
reaching vote on the bill, the Daily
Commonwealth outside man has
heard only one voter express himself
as though he thought Senator Var
daman right in his position. The
question being one in which every one
was more or less interested express
sions have not been lacking from al
most everyone with whom the report
or came in contact with.
One gentleman declared that while
the dignity Of the nation suffers as
result Of the wilfulness Of Senator
vardaman Mississippi will eventually
benefit thereby as this state has just
about had enough Of that gentleman's
work in the Senate. He declared that
the next Senatorial race will show
the world that Mississippi admits she
made a mistake when she sent Mr..
vsrdaman to the Senate.
Some who have opposed Vardaman
during his entire political career point
with pride to the old addage which
runs "Give a calf enough rope and he
will choke himself to DEATH"
