COTTON LEADS
WORLD FALL
Decline of Prices in England Thought
to Be Sign Of Drop in Cost of
Living All Over the
World

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
LONDON, May 22.-The weeks SEN
sational decline in cotton prices was
interpreted by some newspapers today
as the beginning of a general decline
in prices in the British Isles.
Cotton has dropped fourteen cents
a pound since Thursday and more
than thirty per cent since February.
Wool prices also have declined. The
press generally was inclined, however,
to doubt whether the price of cloth
ing and fabric goods would be affected
Immediately, pointing out that present
stocks of MANUFACTURED products were
made from cotton and wool purchased
at the peak prices.
Pieces of tea, syrup, timed salmon
and mutton also have declined during
the past week. Reductions in shoe
prices were predicted. W.
The Daily News believed water
freight rates would be lowered in the
near future and foresaw marked
decline in prices for that reason.
"A Manchester cotton expert" the
News said, declares the cotton slump
is the first real sign of world fall in
prices"

SIZE OF CAPITOL
is EXPLAINED
If Built in keokuk Would Cover Ter
ritory Bounded by Fifth, E!ev-
enth, Main and Exchange
Streets.
TBy Smith D. f"rv.1

WASHINGTON, May live are
not side-stepping at all. We are sti;;
studying the a, b. c, of politics; and
yet, we must talk a little bi: about
architecture.
We will lay the corner stone OF the
building at Fifth and Main streets.
1T is to be of marble, all marble. 1t
will run down Fifth to Exchange
street 1t will extend all the way to
Eleventh street. closing and covering
all Of the other streets. In the midd' a
of the great marble building we viii
put up a cupola, or dome, three hun
dred and fifty feet high.
Look at it. There you have a pic
ture Of the capitol building at Wash
,ington, where the congress holds it's
session. where all of the laws are
made for this great league Of forty
eight sovereign nations, known all
over the world as the United States
of America.
Strangers would get lost in that
immense building; and they would
lose their way in the capitol at WASH
ington but for the fact that there are
professional guides there to direct
the visiting multitudes; and those
professional guides conduct well nigh
half million of visitors through tn :,
capitol at Washington every year.
Everybody in this great republic
ought to get to Washington, some
time and some how, and see the place
where our laws are made: ought to
see the lawmakers at their daily
work.
What building is this?" It is
amazing, but true, that there are
thousands of visitors who ask that
question of the guides; and that Is
one of the reasons there IS and ought
to be a very large body studying in
the infant class in politics.
