Opinionts

Hudson: We expect higher prices for cotton subject to reactions. The ruli amount of movement Is near at hand.
 Wagner: "The true measure of the solidity of the advance in cotton has not yet been tested. Thus far this year belated movement and 2 slow ginning has given those speculatively inclined to the. bull side a decided advantage, The action of the market has encour- aged holders to market their crop 1u- diciously and its recuperative power as- serted so often has discouraged short selling. One of the best brokers on the floor yesterday carried the market up 23 points before he could execute an order of 2000 bales. The day does not seem to us far distant when 1t will De equally difficult to sell cotton.
 Journal of Commerce says: The feel ing grows more general in the cotton goods trade that the high prices asked for goods for future delivery will ma terially restrict trade for civilian pur- poses. Cotton manufacturers are pre- pared for anything In the way of 30 cent cotton.
 Hubbard Bros: '"rhat so many &C., counts of the injury to the crop in the western section of the cotton belt are being received that the spinning trade are taking very serious view of the outlook for staple cotton and even the quantity to be obtained.''
 Wold & Co. "Our Texas traveller says ing that the agricultural bureaus estf- mate of 3.250,000 bales for Texas this year will be fully 10000 bales too large"

Chicago, October 17.-Unwelcome rains and predictions of more moisture coming tended today to make the corn market ascend.

 At first the stormy weather exerted only a slight bullish influence, and there was not much buying even on the part of shorts. most of whom ap- peared to have supplied their needs the previous day. After a moderate decline, however, demand increased especially after due notice was taken of forecasts that dampness would com tinue and that the speedy drying oui of the crop would be hindered. In adi dition, reports were circulated tha. owing to scarcity of help the general progress of husking was slower thaf had been expected. Accordingly, prices had good bulge late in the session with the finish at the topmost point reached.
 Renewal of buying for the seaboard gave independent strength.
 Enlarged supplies of hogs did a good deal to weaken provisions Subsequent. ly, though, houses with stock yards connections took the buying side ano brought about something of a rally,

Past Conditions

"Hot Stuff" deals largely with past
conditions, in the hope that it will
thereby be able to bslk the government
in its work of to-day. 1t says:
an 1907 the United States soldiers
meals cost only six and two-thirds
cents each, and they cost less than
10 cents each now. Ten cents would
not buy half enough cream for one
Congressman's use in one meal"
David Starr Jordan is quoted as su-
thority for the statement:
"The white slave traffic of to-day is
an outgrowth of the standing army.
acquisitions have been published,
signed by commanding officers, and
frankly drawn on associations Of
pimps."
Some examples of ways of dis
couraging recruiting are the following
"In one campaign of Napoleon's
over 10000 boys under twenty years
Of age were destroyed.
"BuZZards were seen eating I'M
buried British boys on Spion Kop
eight days after the battle.
"In one hospital in the Russ-Jap
war there were 1924 soldiers in
sane, driven mad by the terrors of
the modern battlefield.
"In the present day wars the work
ing classes furnish all the blood and
tears and corpses and cripples--yet
win no victories for their own class.

Reitman INDUCES
In a Prophecy

Reitman also INDUCES in prophecy
as part of his propaganda Of discour-
agement. He says:
at is reasonable to believe that
America for the next ten years VIII
be in the fighting business. Just as
soon as we have helped the Allies
wine Germany off the map, we are
going to start in and clean up Mex
leo and teach Japan where she gets
of at. And if Russian revolutionlsts
think they are going to run their
country in their own way, we may 60
over there and teach them to respect
government and our kind Of democ-
racy. Besides, we have our eye on
South America. While we have our
big army and navy we might as well
annex some of the South American
countries. Those Gringos down there
don't know how to behave them
selves, anyway. They are always
fighting, and if they were under
American protection they would have
more respect for religion and prop
erty and get along better. Yes, and
besides, while we have our soldiers
trained we had better collect our
war debts. We have loaned billions
of dollars to Europe, and maybe
some of those countries who have
been fighting on borrowed money
will get sore and won't want to pay
us. Then we will have to fight and
make them do it. am afraid we are
starting in on a long and brutal
reign of militarism in America"
"The poisonous seed of American de-
mocrscy and commercialism," is mild
description by Emma Goldman.
"On the crucial day Of June s demo
cratic America" she says, will cele-
brate with song and dance and revelry,
to the strains Of deafening music and
waving of flags, the funeral procession
Of 500, 1000 American youths, while the
Moloch Militarism sits on his bloody
throne ready to devour the sacrifice,
yet proclaiming in loud, dissonant
tones: Praise unto Democracy! Glory
unto WAR;"

T< HE Socialist party Of the State Of
Washington has issued from
the Office of the state secretary,
at Everett, a four-psge leafet which is
described as "intended for use in
strikes, mills, mines, shops, snti-mili-
tarist meetings, public schools, farm
ers' wagons and everywhere" The leaf
les is called "Hot Stuff" and is divided
into many paragraphs, each beginning
"Do You Know"
One of the first paragraphs declares:
an the hard times-as under
Roosevelt, 1907 and at present un-
der Wilson-you must keep quiet or
be shot, no matter how wildly des-
perate you may become in your ter
rible hunger and want. That has
been carefully arranged"
A most vile suggestion is thrown out
in a paragraph that says:
"The prominent officers of the
battleship Maine were on shore at
tending banquet when the ship was
blown up"
On the last page of the leafet is the
following paragraph, printed in black
face type:
"Let the united working people all
say in loud, bold roar of protest:
Down with militarism! Down with
war! We don't want other mems
blood and we refuse to waste our
own. Let the plutes and politicians
get on the firing line. If the mas
tiers want blood, let them cut their
own throatsl They say, "War is
hell" Well, then let those who want
hell go to hell"

TAX LAND.-'We are selling not

ton. We are selling transportation,
electricity, gas, boulevardB, glimpses

that land is still recognized as the

There you have it in a nutshell.
The same could be applied to our
