The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1920-06-23

1t fell to president Wilson not
only to lead the country into the
great war, but it was also his for
tune to be the spokesman Of the
allied people. Whether he stood
before joint session of congress,
or amid the white headstones of
Arlington cemetery or by the tomb
ct Mt. Vernon, he had the civilized
world for his sounding board.
Though he spoke in the quiet tones
OF the classroom, without the ges-
lures, the flowers or any of the
braiding Of oratory, his winged
words Numbered and flashed above
the roaring guns OF Armageddon,
making themselves heard in the en-
trenchments and the capitals of the
enemy as we'll as of the Entente.
He became the master propagan-
dist in a war of propaganda. His
typewriter in the White house was
the Big Bertha Of the allies, getting
the range of Potsdam and of Vienna
1000 miles away, and raining its
shells on the roofs Of the Hohenzol-
lerns and the Hapsburgs.
The German government at first
scorned. then distorted and finally
suppressed the presidents indict-
ments Of it. They were struggled
over the border by spies and air
planes. Enemy soldiers and -peo-
Piles were forbidden, under the
penalty of treason, to pick them
up; but they passed from hand to
hand, from mouth to mouth in Sc
cret circulation, or were hidden un-
dear hearthstones in the cottages OF
the peasantry, who treasured them
as new gospel Of deliverance from
war.
F, The presidency was carried to the
summit of world influence, becom-
ing the lofty tribune, from which
the moral judgment of humanity
were pronounced. For no European
premier could speak with the dyna-
mic force of the elected chief OF
America, whose speeches were &C.
cepted as the impartial verdict OF

Never forgetting your neighbors and friends
But holding them close to their journeys end.

Selling of Late Ones.
Saturday Afternoon. May


More favorable weather news and
prospects for fair over the weekend
tended to encourage liquidation in the
distant months today, while the near
ones received support from trade AMI
spot interests. The result was an ir-
regular close. In New York finals were
steady and from points up to is down

Liverpool should come to 10 points
to the bad.
Some more rains in the dry sections
OF Texas constituted the most favor
able feature of the weather news, al
though liberal rains in Alabama, and
part of Georgia afforded some offset
Advices said that the good from rains
in Texas had more than offset the harm,
while the indication of fair for the wet
central and eastern belt helped bring
liquidation. The long distance forecast
was good one and seemed to indicate
hope that the belt is going to see a
turn in weather. However, the prepon-
derance of sentiment is that it will
take many days of ideal conditions to
enable much progress to be made.
The weekly trade reviews were rather
pessimistic, although were largely dis
counted yesterday. The stock market
today displayed better tone and some
advances in certain sections of the mar
ket.
From the spot department came ad-
vices of little more hopeful feeling,
although sales continue small. The alb
sence of urgent pressure to sell is re-
garded as hopeful and it discourages

NEW ORLEANS, May S.-Reports of
rain in Southern Texas caused selling
on the opening of the cotton market
today under which prices fell off %
to Al points, July dropping to 1880,
and October to 35.42c. The outlook for
fair weather over the belt, coupled
with claims that some important sec
lions of Texas, had not yet received
sufficient rain caused new buying and
at the end of the first hour of business
the trading months were to points
over yesterdays close, July rising to
81. l5c, and October to $500.
The advance continued until July
stood at 3S.25c and the active months
were 10 to II points over yesterdays
close. The forecast of fair weather for
the eastern belt. where dry weather is
needed, and reports from dry goods
markets that could not be considered
anything but unfavorabe caused new
selling wave under which the market
did not hold well. Advances were
wiped out and last prices showed net
losses for the session of 2 to 81 points,

NEW YORK. May S-More favorable

to considerable selling in the cotton

July touching 37S5c and October 30. soc

attracted covering and the market later
rallied sharply on report of rains. low

up to $500 and October to 36C, or Il to

The advance was checked by realiz-
ing around 3S.30c for July and SO 10c
for October, with prices easing off in
the later trading. Old crop positions
