BE BREASONABLE.

This is a presidential year. We
are going to elect a president this
fall from one of the great parties,
and we all hope the country will
make no mistake in it's selection.
Whoever the fortunate candidate
may be, he is bound to find his
path beset with thorns and this
ties.
These are days of reconstruc-
ton. The high-pressure indus
trialism and commercialism will
run themselves out. Prices must
fall. Labor must face reduction
in wages or protracted idleness.
Mills will be closed because of
lack of orders. The fear of a fall
ing market will keep the supply as
near the demand as it is possible
to rum estimate. There will be
none of that venturesome specula-
ton that prevailed during the past
three or four years, or in the ear
ly '70s, when the manufacturers
piled their warehouses full to
overlooking, and kept their mills
running on borrowed money, hop
ing for a revival of the market
a hope that was never realized.
The reconstruction period, fol-
lowing the civil war, was too far
advanced to save them from the
wreck their cupidity invited, and
the crash came on schedule time.
Nothing could check it. All values
crumbled and fell. Real estate,
personal property and everything
else of value went down in COM
mon pit of destruction to find
level far below cost or value.
Today we are better prepared to
meet the changing conditions.
Manufacturers are wiser. They
are running their mills upon or
ders, and when the orders stop
the mills stop, and in this respect
they differ from the old methods;
for in those days the mills ran the |
year round, and if goods did not |
find ready market they were
piled up in warehouses until they
could be sold at profit. Labor
received it's remuneration and the
manufacturer took the chance.
The same conditions will not
again prevail; but we must pre-
pare for slowing down of the in
dustrial machine. This reduction
Of speed will come from filling up |
of our domestic markets, refusal
of retailers to stock-up on a fall
ing market. and inability to COM
pete in foreign markets with COM
modities, equally as good as ours,
that have been manufactured at
lower cost for raw materials and |
labor.
The troubles that the coming
administration will pass through
will not necessarily be the fault of |
any political party, but an inevi-
table sequence; yet the president |
and the administration must bear
the blame and feel the sting of |
sarcasm that will be freely hand
ed out by those wise individuals
of the Il told you so" variety, and
knockers who see no good in any
thing outside their own initiative
and following.
The Reserve Banks will help the
situation wonderfully, but they
cannot change the cause or mate
rally delay the event. y
Already the pinnacle of high
prices has been reached. We pass
ed over the rim of the divide in
May, and now we are coming down

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Aug. 2O-Selling pressure was as severe as ever in the cotton market today and the wide declines that have been usual of late were again witnessed, the market dropping to net declines of v to 97 points in the late trading and closing 73 to 87 points net lower on the day. October fell off to 26.25 and March to 24.83.
 Much of the selling was done on the continued weakness in the spot markets of the south although there were times when it was plain that lines of long contracts were being thrown overheard.
 Considerable hedge selling appear. ed and speculative short selling was encouraged by the readiness with which the market responded to pres. sure.
 The demand of the session came almost entirely from shorts who were satisfied to take their profits. Tt all appearances there was no fresl demand for long accounts. The open ing was lower in sympathy witf poor cables and the decline contin.

| He hoped Barbara might not sec him trying to dance with Miss An niston. And next came the man who had sat next to Barbara at dinner, danc- ing with the charming Virginia girl Miss Anderson. The girl saw John De Haven. She smiled at him. He felt like fool, for he had wanted to dance with her and the thought occurred to him that she might think it his fault that he and Miss An sniston were doing no better. But he could disillusionize her if the chance ever came, he was sure. But would the chance ever come. He wondered about that, for, surely, this dance would never end.
 The music stopped at length. The dancers applauded. Even John Dc Haven clapped his hands. But he did not want the second half of that dance.
 He was very solicitous regarding his partner. He turned to her, ask ed question of Miss Anniston.
 "Perhaps you are tired, Miss An. niston ?" he suggested. Shall take you to seat and get an ice for you ? Feverishly, he speculated between his question and her answer what his luck might be. Soon enough he knew.
 "Tired!" she exclaimed. "Indeed, am not, MT De Haven. How could one tire when you are such a beau tiful dancer?" Indeed, 1 love it. could dance all night. Let us have the rest of it by all means!"
 And they walked to the very end with Miss Anniston faithfully chant ing her "one-two, one-two, one-two' Presently it got fixed in John Dc Ravens mind and he mentally count ed with her "one-two, one-two, one. two" and hoped it would not stay with him, as unpopular airs some times do.

The music started immediately Miss Anniston looked up into John De Haven's face with glad smile. He could not help smiling down at her. She wanted to have. good time, to enjoy herself, and he, lov- CT of play, could not deny her that pleasure. And yet Barbara saw them as they commenced to dance. She caught the smiles on their faces and inferred that John had enjoyed Miss Anniston whom they had just met Another inference was the glad one that her husband could be nice to older persons, that he was kind and considerate. She loved him the more because of it. And then, her jewelled slippers flashing and Dix Randall's arm about her, she whirled off into the dance with exuberant gayety.
 Miss Theodosia Anniston was not very confident about the dancing however much she was devoted to it as a cure. And intrepid as rule about most things she undertook, she now felt a little timorous about ven- turing forth.
 First, now, she must know what kind of dance it was. Others had whirled past her but she could not tell by looking at them no more than she could ascertain from the beat of the music it's elusive character. For her the music had no rythmic beat She was one of those unusual per. sons with no ear for music. She never had been able to carry an air When she essayed to sing "Annie Laurie" it sounded exactly the same as when she tried "The Old Oaken Bucket" or Maggie" only the words being different.
 ooh, let me sec" she said clutching her partners hand nervously as though fearing that she might lose him, "just what is this dance, MT De Haven't"
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-08-21

"A one-step,' said he, his spirits sinking farther.
 "Why, yes, how simple! Of course that's what it is," she said, laughing nervously in her confusion. They began, or, rather, they did not.
 So they stopped beginning and be- gan again.
 "You said it was a one-step, did you not, Mir. De Haven?" she -in- quired, looking at him, appealingfy as though his assurance that it was one-step could solve for her most perplexing problem.
 "Yes, it is a one-step," he replied. his smile just as brave as before He was a thoroughbred.
 q remember now,' said Miss Annis- ton. "And that's the dance that is one-two, one-two, one-two, one-two =" They were off at last, walking about the ballroom, the lady count. ing her "one-two, one-two' with per sistent fidelity and John De Haven willing his collar and giving his strength.
 He had seen they could not get the step together. He knew the moment they started out that Miss Anniston did not know how to dance. More over he knew she might never learn He wondered, vaguely, if she could count any farther than two. He knew she could go that far because her "one-two, one-two, one-two" nev- CT faltered, once she began it. They walked, out of step, around the ballroom. The man felt conspicu- ous; the lady, happy though little uncertain as to the success of hel dancing. But it was good exercise she remembered.
 Now and then John De Haven saw Barbara and Dix Randall whirl by He felt envious when he saw them for Barbara was a beautiful dancer and their steps fitted wonderfully
