SUPERIOR WILL
NOT HAVE TEAM

HAYDEN, Ariz., April 6.-The
project for Superior to have a
baseball team in the Tri-Coppe'
League this season seems to have
fallen through. Advices received
from there state that in the re-
cent past serious effort was made
to organize and finance such a
team. The Magma Copper COM
pany offered to furnish jobs for
seven of the prospective players.
the Magma Chief was to take
care of another one, and the lum-
Der company another, but it was
felt that in addition to this the
financing of the team would take
something like five hundred dol
lars per month, as a minimum,
which would have to be raised
in some way which was not at
that time apparent. AS the town
is small it was felt that indi-
vidual support would be much
too heavily taxed, so the matter
seems to have dropped. How
ever, as the Smelter is coming to
our baseball wants will be
pretty we'll covered without the
Superior team, although a four
team league would certainly
have been most desirable.

President Wilson addressed congress
In what was perhaps one of the most
dramatic sessions of any deliberative
body in the world, he asked congress to
declare that a state of war existed with
Germany and that the United States
take up the gage of battle against a
nation running amuck. The message
was remarkable for it's strong peace
tone and for the friendship expressed
for the German people, who are not
responsible for this war.
Copies of the message, translated in
German are being distributed back in
the German lines by aviators Of the
allies, who are now bombarding the
German trenches with the Wilson ad-
dress. 1t is believed that the presi-
dents message will do more in Ger
many to overthrow the Hohenzollerns
than bombs.
The Message in Full
President Wilson spoke as follows:
Il have called the congress into ex-
traordinary session because there are
serious, very serious, choices of policy
to be made, and made Immediately
which it was neither right nor constitu-
tionally permissible that 1 should as
sumo the responsibility of making.
On the third of February last, 1 of
ficially laid before you the extraor-
binary announcement of the imperial
German government that on and after
the first day of February it was its
purpose to put aside all restraints of
law or of humanity and use it's sub
marines to sink every vessel that
Great Britain and Ireland or the west
ern coasts of Europe or any of the
ports controlled by the enemies of Ger
many within the Mediterranean. That
has seemed to be the object of German
submarine warfare earlier in the war,
but since April of last year the imperial
government had somewhat restrained
the commanders of it's undersea craft
i'll conformity with it's promise then
given to us that passenger boats should
not be sunk, and that due warning
would be given to all other vessels
which it's submarines might seek to de-
stroy, when no resistance was offered
or escape attempted, and care taken
that their crews were given at least
fair chance to save their lives in their
open boats. The precautions taken
were meagre and haphazard enough, as
was proved in distressing instance af
ter instance in the progress of the cruel
and unmanly business, but a certain
degree of restraint was observed.
The new policy has swept every re-
striction aside. Vessels of every kind,
whatever their flag, their character,
their cargo, their destination, their err
rand, have been ruthlessly sent to the
bottom without warning and without
thought of help or mercy for those on
board, the vessels of friendly neutrals
;:long with those of belligerents. Even
hospital ships and ships carrying re-
lief to the sorely bereaved and stricken
people of Belgium, though the latter

totle, greater scientists than Thales
and Anaximander and Hippocrates.
Their achievements and writings
have now only an historical interest,"
But the poetry and the art of the an
cient Greeks are the worlds models
now, as they always have been and
always will be- And these are the
fruits Of their imagination, just like
their mythology.
Each modern nation boasts of it's
literature. But what is generally
considered literature Not every
thing that the wise and scholarly
men of a nation write. PHILOSOPHERS,
histories, legal codes, scientific trea
tises, are not included in literature.
BY literature we generally under
stand the works of imagination, nov
els, stories, poetry, drama, and fanci-
full sketches and essays. And when
philosophers, scientists, and histori-
ans produce works of real literary
merit, their products are assigned
only secondary position in a peo-
pies literature. The poets, the writ
crs of fiction, the dramatists come
first, all those whose great faculty
is the imagination.
Think then what it would mean
if we were told by some person that
our Bible has no fiction, no myths.
It would mean a serious charge of
intellectual poverty against our
ancestors.
Let us, therefore, be thankful that
such a charge cannot be brought
against them. In the story of Jonah
and the fish we have the survival of
an ancient myth. 1t is the Hebraic
version of it, and in this version we
find the original contribution of the
Hebrew authors fancy, or the myth
opoeic faculty of our ancestors.
In all ancient mythologies we find
the story of some encounter be-
tween human or sen1i-divine hero
and sea-monster. In the oldest of
the mythologies on record, that OF
the ancient Babylonians, this en-
counter is represented as the first
act of the creation drama. The god
Marduk engages in a struggle with
the monster of the deep, Tiamat.
He succeeds in cleaving the body of
the beast in twain. Its upper half
is then fashioned into the armament

above, and the lower halt into the
solid earth beneath In Greek
mythology the most renowned he
roes, Perseus and Hercules, among
their other exploits, do battle with
sea-monsters, generally called drag
ons, that devastate lands and de-
mand human victims, especially prin-
cesses, in order to be appeased and
to desist from further mischief We
have in such stories a "reminiscences
of the early state of savagery among
these nations, when marine mon
sters, such as maneating sharks,
were actually dreaded as malevolent
gods, and were propitiated with hui
man sacrifices. These myths, how
ever, may represent other ideas of
the ancients, their ideas, namely, of
the perpetual struggle between GER
tain forces and phenomena of ma
ture, especially that between light
and darkness, the sun being periodi-
cally swallowed in darkness and res
cued again.
1t is this idea that probably un:
derlies the Hebrew version of the
myth, the story of Jonah and the
big fish. Jonah, the prophet of God,
is the harbinger Of light, the bearer
of divine message to sinful ma.
ton. He is swallowed by the mon
ster Of the deep, symbol of darkness,
is saved, and goes on in the accom-
plishment of his task
But as in the case of all mythology
cal material found in the Bible, the
Hebrew author used this myth, too,
to convey sublime religious truth to
his readers There is no doubt that
the hero of the story, Jonah, repre-
sents in the authors mind Israel,
the people to which Jonah belonged.
Jonah is entrusted by God with
mission to the gentle people of
Assyria. Here we have the mis-
sionary character of Israel, which
is enc of the doctrines of our proph-
cts, and which has been verified in
history. To Israel was revealed re-
ligious truth, not that it might. lock
it up in the recesses of it's own mind,
but that it might bring it to the
knowledge of the rest of the world.
While God chose Israel first, and
imposed this task upon him, Heis as
much concerned about Assyria and
the other nations of the world as
about Israel Neither Assyria nor
any other nation should perish for
want CT knowledge. That is why
Tcnah is sent there.

l suppose it is somewhat of a
shock to simple believers to be told
that the Bible contains myths. Yet
to me it would be more disappoint-
ing, if not shocking, if we found no
mythical elements in our ancient
literature. To me it would indicate
that our ancestors were devoid of
imagination, one of the two noble
faculties that distinguish man from
the other orders of creation. While
our Bible bears ample evidence of
the fact that our ancestors possessed
religious genius Of the highest or
der, highly developed moral sense
as is exemplifed by their legislation,
deep feeling and strong emotion, as
lis shown in the Psalms and other
lyrics, of the Bible, impassioned elo-
quence as typihed in the prophecies
and orations-without myths and
other works of fiction, it would mean
that the gift of imagination was
lacking among them.
Yet, next to the faculty Of reason,
what nobler endowment has man
than that of imagination Reason
help US to adapt ourselves to our
actual world; but imagination Gre
ates a new world for us. 1t lifts us
out of the gray and drab of the
world of aCtualities, and transports
us to world rich in gorgeous hues,
the world Of fancy. 1t would be diff
hcult to be reconciled to the stern
facts of existence, did not the mind
find some relief in the gay atmos-
phere of it's own fancy.
Consider what value humanity has
always placed on the literary and
artistic creations of the imagination.
1t is this that gives ancient Greece
claim upon the lasting gratitude and
generation of the world. The
Greeks, too, had manifold gifts.
They were eager investigators of
truth, keen reasoners, and wise leg
islators. They have given the mod
ern world it's first science, and its
first philosophy. Yet who values
these gifts nowadays? Their sci
ences and PHILOSOPHERS are consid-
cred childish as Compared with the
maturer achievements of the civil

present time We have greater

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, November 14.-Higher ranges of values resulted from the trading in cotton here today, although the market was irregular and distant months showed much more strength than the near. This was the outcome of a general undoing of straddles be- tween months. The upward tendency of the market was due to the extreme- 1y bullish showing of the census bu reau report on American mills during October. The record breaking con- sumption for that month, small stocks held by mills and the record number of active spindles made for bullish sentiment
 Around the opening the most active months were 4 to points up, from which there was a sag, under realiz- ing, to net decline of 2 to 14 points. At this level the real buying of the day started and from then on the market stood at the advanRe.
 Straddlers who had sold the dis tant months against purchases of the near months became frightened at the ures and started covering. As the mar ket worked against them their opera tions increased and this made for a radical narrowing of differences be- tween the near and the distant posi- tions. At the highest of the day the near months stood at a net advance of 22 to 2S points, while at the same time the distant months stood 69 to S4 points up. Closing prices showed net gains of Il to S3 points.

COTTON GOES UP ID RECORD PRICES
Consumption and Better Ocean Freight Accommo-
 dations Are Big Factors

New York November 14.-Bullish do- mestic consumption figures and more optimistic view of the export outlool. caused very sharp advance in the cot ton market here today, with most of the active months making new high records for the season. January contracts sold up from 2 csc to 27.56c, while later months showed even greater gains with the general list closing firm at net advance of r to e points. The market was rather nervous and unsettled at the start owing to the unfavorable impress sion created by European political news and Wall street selling, which may have been partly inspired by the weak open ing of the stock market. First prices were points higher to 2 points lower, and active months sold about to 19 points net lower during the first few min utes. December touched 27 Ssc and March 26. .51c, but at this level offerings were absorbed by trader buying and cover ing. The census figures showing domes- tfc mill consumption of 69o 46S bales, in- cluding hnters, for the month of Octo- Der, against 617sS3 bales last year, were a surprise to the trade. who had ex- pected that this report would reflect scarcity of labor
 Reports that arrangements had been made for the use of neutral and Jap- anese steamers in South American and coastwise trades were also a factor on the advance, as it was supposed this would lead to a shifting of other tonnage into the transatlantic routes.
 December sold up to 28.25c and March to 2. .29c, with active months showing ret gains of 26 to Il points during the afternoon The close was a few points off from the best under realizing. Private cables said the action of the British cot ton control board in restricting consump- ton of American cotton to 60 per cent of mill capacity meant that British mills would consume 45,000 bales per week.
