 Roosevelt in Brinkley. k
 A few years ago Col. Roose- welt visited Arkansas speaking in Little Rock at a big state gathering.
 Following Col. Roosevelt's address in Little Rock the ARGUS man who was present in Little Rock asked him to make a short speech to the people of Brinkley as his train passed thro' en route back to New York. He consented and thus the Brinkleyites were en- abled to see and hear another one of the worlds celebrities, that afternoon from the rear of his train.
 As 1 came out on the train with him from Little Rock that afternoon, Col. Roosevelt asked about Brinkley and after l had told him he said in animated and emphatic manner, well Folsom I'm sure from what you tell me that Brinkley is a crack ing good town but say, change your brand of politics; all Ark ansas needs is a change"
 The train on which we came out on that afternoon was 20 minutes late in leaving Little Rock and as we struck the good track on the prairie, the engi- neer was making a straight mile a minute clip and as the speed indicator told this, the Railroad Official escorting Col Roosevelt, reached for the aii brakes and pulled the engineer down to a slower speed saying as he did i've cant afford to take any chances on spillins the Colonel"

 Sidney White, Willie Diamond, Wm. F'ant and Harvey Rowe. The last four named are color ed. The men seem reluctant to discuss their part in the fighting, modestly declaring they did nothing more than thousands of others. "Oh, my fot just got in the way of a machine gun bullet" said Gamble lightly when asked about his wound. Gamble, who was cited for bravery and rec commended for other citations that may brbing him the Croix de guerre, wouldn't say any thing about his heroisna. "Oh, l just rescued a French General under fire, that's all'' and no more would he say. The men say they were treated fine" everywhere, and that French Eand English women were par ticularly anxious to make the Americans comfortable. Sgt.

Roosevelt, altho having three sons in the war, has appearant- ly done his best to harrass, annoy and hinder President Wilson's administration in every way possible.
 While Roosevelt has kept up constantly, his efforts have all fallen flat and his death leaves him with a discredited memory among the people of the nation who would otherwise have cherished and revered his mem ory had he but done his part as
 an Ex-President should have done. His recent published criticisms while President Will son is engaged in his great peace mission in Europe, are caculated to have done greater harm and have done more to impede the progress of the worlds peace plans, than any other of his unpatriotic utter ances and consequently his un- timely death, while matter of serious personal regret of the writer, may yet be a great bless ing to the people of America in this momentus time when an-

There had been a family gath ering Christmas Day, but as no alarm was felt over the colonels condition the children who were able to spend the holiday with their parents had gone to different parts of the country"
 Rosevelt's attitude to the Wilson administration has been anything but friendly and his criticisms have been unfair and unkind. He tried to get into the war by asking to be al lowed to take an army of his own choosing, training, etc, to France to serve under his com mand. Failing to get the ap- proval of the U. s.

Cotton

A further sharp recovery took place in
the cotton market yesterday, due to
the strong opening of the stock market.
The bulk of the demand was attrib-
uted to recent sellers covering for
the week end. however. and after selling
about so to ss points net higher. the mar
ket was irregular, with the close steady
sold up to 324oc during the early trad
points above the low level of Friday
morning. and closed at 3212c. or about
% points off from the best.
The Weather Bureau reported indica-
tions OF tropical disturbance in the
move westward. Otherwise there was
nothing particularly unfavorable in the
weather news. but the tropical storm
and increased the disposition to cover
short contracts after the severe declines
earlier in the week. The market opened
consequence, and for time showed con-
siderable strength on continued demand
from shorts while there also was mod
crate buying for trade account. Com
mission house sentiment still appeared to
be much unsettled, however, and after
the more urgent requirements OF shorts
had been supplied the market eased OFT
under renewal Of scattered liquidation
realizing by buyers OF Friday.
Reports from the goods trade indicated
a continued quiet business in the primary
prices at second hands. but as yet cotton
traders find no proof that high prices have
materially checked retail demand. The re-
turns Of the Credit Clearing House. indi-
eating increased purchases OF textiles and
wearing apparel during the last week. were
considered significant in this respect and
probably contributed to the improved tone
Of the market. On the whole. however,
local brokers were more inclined to attrib-
ute the advance to a stronger technical
position after the break OF the last week
and the uncertainties OF the weather than
to any change In conditions otherwise.

London and SDeculation

Speculation in securities on the Lon
don Stock Exchange is still taboo The
ban went on trading of this character
at the outset of the war and has never
been lifted. Some restrictions have
been removed, but enough remain to
stop speculative operations except for
cash. That cuts off margin trad
ing. In financial circles in London
there is an agitation in some quarters
N favor of the restoration of a free
market. But SO far it has not made
much progress. "Thc London Econo-
mist" in discussing the matter says:
Speculation makes demand upon credit
which ought to be employed to better
advantage in work and works. Trade
and industry stand so far ahead Of
speculation in their claims upon credit
that speculation ought not to be COM
petitor at all in the postwar struggle
for commercial supremacy" That is
the argument advanced on this side by
those who have been denouncing the
huge wave of speculative activity that
has swept the American markets in re-
cent months
New-York tribune., 1919-08-10
The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The weakness of francs was the most
notable feature in the foreign ex-
change market during the last week.
No new dominant factor caused the
rates on Paris to fall to discount of
more than 80 per cent. The move
ment was rather a further expression
of the fundamental international stu
alton, in which Americas foreign trade
is lopsided. The premium of the dol
lar in Paris, in the opinion of bankers,
further emphasized the need of con-
structing comprehensive credit
mechanism to finance the purchases
of European nations in this country.
The position of francs was tempo
rarily held up while the American ex-
peditionary forces were making heavy
purchases in France and while the
United States Treasury was extend
fund, but both of these forces have
ceased to operate.
Sterling exchange was steady, al
though it closed a cent weaker than
it was the previous week. Belgium
francs followed the course of rates on
Paris, and the movement of the lire
paralleled that of the franc. Marks
continued to be easy.
In commenting on this situation the
monthly letter of the Mechanics and
Metals Bank says:
"The task that we face is twofold.
We must see that exchange rates, at
whatever level, are kept reasonably
stabilized at that level, so that export
ers and importers will know on what
to base their calculations. We must
extend credit fully enough to offset
the trade balances. But in stabilizing
rates and in extending credit, we must
be careful to keep clearly before our
minds the distinction between the in
fuences that are at work--thc infu-
ences, that is, of trade balances and of
currency depreciation. We must seek
to offset the effect of the extreme trade
balances. But we would seriously err
if we should attempt to correct that
part of the exchange rate disparites
that comes solely from deprecated
currencies."
If you calculate the cost of the dol
lar in terms of foreign money at cur
rent exchange value-that is, if you
were buying dollars with pounds,
marks or francs-its value at the close
of last week, as compared with year
ago, would be about as follows:

Steel Tonnage Increases

An increase of 6S5,S06 tons in the
untitled orders of the United States
Steel Corporation during the month of
July was better than expectations. Ad-
vance estimates generally put the in
crease around 100000 tons. There was
an increase of about $4,000 tons in
June, so that in the two months period
the gain in orders over deliveries
amounts to about 100000 tons. In
July the new orders booked by the
corporation aggregated more than l.
100000 tons, deliveries running in the
neighborhood of 100000 tons. August
should also show a gain in untitled
orders provided new business continues
to come in at the present rate. A part
