PRESIDENT TO MAKE
NO COMPROMISE
Says He Will Let Senate Ar.
rive at Own Solution of
Treaty Dilemma.

ington.-President Wilson In
tervened Sunday in the peace treaty
dilemma with an announcement that
he had mo compromise or concession
Of any kind in mind" would make no
move toward the treatys disposition,
and would continue to hold the repub.
lican members of the senate respon-
sible for results and conditions attend
ing the delay.
The presidents position, regarded as
peculiarly significant in view of the re.
cent discussion in the senate of com.
promise was set forth in the following
statement issued Sunday from the
White House:
1T was learned from the highest au.
thority at the executive office today
that the hope of the republican leaders
of the senate that the president would
presently make some move which will
relieve the situation with regard to
the treaty is entirely without founda
ton; he has no compromise or con
cession of any kind in mind, but in
tends, so far as he is concerned, thai
the republican leaders of the senate
shall continue to bear the undivided
responsibility for the fate of the treaty
and the present condition of the worlt
in consequence of that fate"
The White House statement appar
emily had no effect in changing thu
treaty situation. Democratic leaders
indorsing the presidents views, de
Clared that it did not preclude a sen
ate compromise, and that compromis,
efforts would proceed. Republican
leaders reiterated that the presiden
was responsible for the present statu
and must make the first move towar,
a solution. Senators hoping to kill tn
treaty alone expressed satisfaction.

RULES OF ROAD IN ENGLAND
Country Has Two: Foot Traffic Keeps

One of the many proposed REFORMS
in England which have been agltateu
for a long time and which received a
strong impetus as result OF the war
is change in the rule of the road.

COTTON CROP OF
ll,O3O,OOO BALES
Department Of Agriculture
Gives Final Estimate Of
1919 Production.

Washington.-A Gotten crop OF more
than 5,250,00O,000 pounds, worth up
ward of $1,5OO,OO0,O0O to producers for
lint alone, not taking into account the
value of Inter cotton and cotton seed,
was grown this year. Final estimate
of production made Friday by the de-
partment OF agriculture placed upon
the crop at 11,O30O00 equivalent to
500-pound bales.
Much interest centered in the report
in view of the recent attack on the last
estimate of 10,696,0O0 bales made by
the bureau of crop estimates early in
October as being too high and which
resulted in a resolution by congress
causing the issuance Of an extra con.
dition report in November.
Fridays estimate exceeds the Octo'
Der estimate by $4,000 bales. The
December estimate of the department
of agriculture, while not accepted as
the final production figures, inasmuch
as the census bureaus ginning Stats
tics issued in March are taken as final,
always has been remarkably close to
the actual production. Careful check
ing of the estimate with actual pro-
duction has disclosed that in the nine
teen years from 1900 to 1919 the bu
reau of crop estimates December fig
ures have averaged / 40 per cent low
er than the census bureaus final pro
duction figures.
Last years crop was 12,040,5Ss
bales, the average for the five years
1897 was 12,S471OS bales and the
record crop, 16,134,93 bales, in 1914
The average gross weight per run
ming bale is estimated at 500.2 pounds
gross, compared with 505.6 pound!
last year and 5O6.3 pounds the aver
age for the five years 1897.
The estimated production by states
follows: Virginia, $4,000 bales; Nortl
Carolina, $4,000; South Carolina, l,
ATS, 900; Georgia, 100000; Florida
10000; Alabama, 715O0O; Mississippi
$4,000; Louisiana, 100000; Texas, 2
100000; Arkansas, $4,000; Tennessee
$4,000; Missouri, 10000; Oklahoma
100000; California, 100000; Arizona
$4,000; all other states 1000.

Ruling on Textbook
Question Is Rendered

Austin, Tex.-Where the textbook
commission has adopted textbooks GOV.
ering specific subjects it would be
without power to adopt different
book being a general treatise on all
the subjects heretofore adopted in
separate books, and no such general
book could be substituted in the
schools for the books upon specific
jects Heretofore adopted, according to
an opinion given Friday by the attor.
ney generals department to the text
book committee. The opinion was pre-
pared by Assistant Attorney General
C. w. Taylor.
1t is further held In the opinion that
the textbook commission having adopt
ed textbooks in physiology, physical
geography, physics, chemistry and ag
riculture would be without power tt
adopt a general science text cover
ing each of these subjects il the same
are to be substituted for either of the
subjects covered by the textbooks up
on specific subjects.
A textbook on general science, 1t Il
held, might be adopted and put in use
in the schools, provided it did not dis
place or be substituted for any one o
the textbooks adopted upon the sub
iects heretofore named. General sci
ence might be used as q supplement
airy book after others adopted upol
this specific subject had been used II
good faith.
| General science might be adopted
and used in the schools as an element

Constitutionality of
Suffrage Act Upheld

Austin, Textile women voters OF
Texas Saturday won victory when
the Third Court of Civil Appeals in
special sitting upheld wholly the con.
stitutionality of the woman suffrage
act of the fourth called session of the
Thirty.Fourth legislature, which per.
mits women to vote in primary cleo
tions. The court, by unanimous opin-
ion, written by Associate Justice c.. H.
Jenkins, affirmed the case Of Tom M.
Hamilton VS.. Lee r. Davis, tax COL
lector, appealed from the district court
of McLennan County. The case 10 to
be taken up to the Supreme Court,
Hamilton sought an injunction to re.
strain the tax collector Of McLennan
County from issuing poll tax receipts
to women. The district court sustained
q general demurrer and the injunction
was not granted.
Besides sustaining the constitution.
atty Of the woman suffrage act, the
appellate court held that Hamilton was
not entitled to bring suit by injunc'
ton TO restrain the tax collector OF
McLennan County from issuing poll
tax receipts, since Injunction is an
equitable relief granted by court oil
chancery or equity to prevent irrepar
able injury as the consequence Of q
wrongful act for which the law courts
offered no relief, or at least an ade
quate relief. 1t was held that Hamil
ton had a complete remedy provided
by statute by contesting the proposed
election If dissatisfied with the result!
thereof.

resulted from the confusion caused by
the clashing Of the two rules near the
front lines. Women ambulance driv-
ers especially were victims.
Rather than alter the rule of the
road as regards vehicles so as to bring
England into line with the rest of the
world the borough council Of Hammer
smith suggested a rule for pedestrians
to keep to the left, as vehicles do. This
met flood of protests, many pointing
out the absurdity of the idea. 1t was
contended that millions of travellers
visit England and that millions of
Englishmen go abroad.
"Left-handed" walkers, 1t was said,
would cause indescribable confusion
In busy streets Of all cities.

BANKS

1t is not as popular today for
the multitude to condemn banks
as it was few years ago. The
people have found out during the
war that the greatsystem of banks
in the y. S., in co-operotion with
the people made it possible to
provide the government with the
money that carried the war to a
successful termination.
We could no more in this day
and age transact the business of
our country without the banks,
than we could harvest our crops
of grain and hay by the old
method Of the scythe and the
cradle.
Our banking facilities must ex-
pand in advance of our industrial
development.
That is why leading banking
institutions the country over are
increasing their resources and
extending their field of operation.
At the same time they are
furnishing every possible assist
ance and encouragement to our
growing industries.
A progressive bank is one of
the greatest assets of any grow
ing community.
