THE ELECTION Is OVER

The primary election is over. The
smoke of battle is drifting away. II
will be up to the voters to put the
final seal of their approval on the
nominees in November. After that
It will be just plain living day by
day week by week, and year by year.
The officers Of the people will make
their records for good or i'll. They
will be given a chance to stand for
deCency as against those forces Of
evil which have kept this County a
turmoil for so long. We believe they
will meet the situation fairly and
Isquarely.
Judge Rose showed at the last
Circuit Court that he can be a real
leader in the suppression of crime.
We are sure he will continue the
good work which is worth more to
the County than the whole of his
salary. He is a poor man and the
campaign has cost him dearly finau-
cially, but he had faith in his friends
and they have reciprocated that
faith by their votes. It scarcely
seems fair that leader should be
called upon to meet the legitimate
expenses OF campaign personally
any more than it is incumbent on a
general to provide food and mun-i-
tions for an army and the cost
should be made up by the commun-
! ity that desires his services on be-
half of law and order.
With officers who will do their
full in Knox County and juries that
will not stand for criminality, there
is bright outlook for more peace.

ican life. In one of his earliest ar ticles written on the subject of the possibilities of baseball, MT. Chad wick said:
 "The physique of Americans has long been a vulnerable point for the attacks of foreigners on the weak ness of our countrymen. and hither- to we have only too well merited the palpable hits made by our healthy, outdoors sport-lovir.s cousins of Eng land. Baseball will bring back the physical standards of our fore fathers whose well-exercised muscles enabled them to lay low the forests of the western wilderness"
 Many illustrations were brought up. showing the relation of baseball and temperance. Said one editorial writer in an early-day guide: e
 Baseball demands the skill of bill lizards without the necessity of re- maining in a heated room with the temptation of a drinking bar ever before one's eyes"
 In one of the first of the guides, before the professional era, one finds the initial imprint of slang as applied to the game. There are elaborate ex- plantations of such items as "a liner" "a hot one" "a muffed ball." and "a grounder." In such fashion did the baseball Language" have it's begin nings. Baseball readers of today re- quire no keys to colloquial descrip- tive articles which are shrouded In deepest gloom so far as the initiated are concerned.

COTTON BEGINS ID
 DECLINE UNDER
 TRADE PRESSURE
After Advances of IA to 26 Points at Opening Prices Drop 32 to 68 Points Be-
 low Former Week.
By Ansociated presa

New Orleans, November 6-After advances of 14 to 26 points on the opening session, cotton this last week commenced to sag under pressure from traders who were influenced by bearish talk concerning ginning. In the succeeding sessions prices were sent to levels 32 to 6S points under the close of the preceding week, and the close showed net losses of 16 to 10 points December at it's highest stood at IS .40c pound and at it's lowest at IF. SIC. closing at IT sec. In the spot department mid ding lost 50 points, closing at IS 25c against 19.25c a year ago.
 Regarding ginning the main fea- ture was a private bureau report which estimated the output to No- vember 1 at 6,550,00o bales and the total crop at 7,550,000. While many, If not most, traders regarded these figures as altogether too high, they caused considerable selling, which helped to put prices to the lowest of the week On the closing session another private bureau report was heard of which estimated that on November 1 there were still 100000 bales of cotton in the belt to be ginned.
 l Easier money rates In this country and in England were the main bull fish influence of the week, but they had little effect beyond steadying the market Toward the close the decline was checked by the very large mill takings of 401, ,000 bales against 2S0,0O0 this week last year and 327 this week two years ago. These takings caused a great deal of comment because the trade did not understand how they were possible with the spot markets of the belt so quiet. Bearish traders claimed that much cotton was moving to mills on consignments, but the favorite theory on the long side was that mills were buying under cover, and that large spot concerns were supplying the demand without making any noise about 1t.
 Figures were circulated showing that during the last four weeks, ac- cording to Hester the mills of the
 world have taken a total of 1,425,- 900 bales, a surprising quantity of cotton in such short period, espe- cially in a short crop year like this. The fourth ginning report of the season is due from the census bu-
 reau at o'clock Wednesday morn- Ing General expectations are for | figures of anywhere from 6,100, 900 to $500 900 bales. as the ginning to the
 first of November.

Towards the end of March, following the publication of articles in l'Echo de Paris. le Journal and le Temps, Lloyd George indig- nantly denounced these leaks" and demanded condign punishment. He added:

Commercial and Financial Situation Is Enc ouraging
 Throughout United State s
Credit Is Abundant Gold Reserve Is so Large It Is Plethoric Interest Rates Are Coming Down and
 Commodity Prices Are Low

Germany are being swept clear by those who are trying to exchange marks for goods. It Is officially an- nounced that the reparation commits sion has allowed two weeks of grace on the payment due November Is, Just how a financial debacle can be avoided in Germany is not clear.
 But on the New York stock ex- change where all these perplexities and troubles should be first reflected placidity has reigned. Many securities are higher and but few are lower Railway shares are steady, but no higher as the remarkable increase In net earnings is offset by the fear that public sentiment which Is becoming very insistent will shortly compel a general reduction in rates, and there Is further evidence that railway man. agers realize this in the cuts an- nounced by the Southern Pacific and Unlion Pacific. The vigorous prop aganda of the railway companies whose purpose seems to be the ex- ploitation of their own poverty. says nothing about the increase in traffic that lower rates would Induce.
 The bond market shows increased strength and the ease with which new offerings are absorbed is remarkable.
  thing that can be called a bond seems to be salable. This Is, of course, due to the decline In interest rates. but it is to be observed that the default of the Chinese government in meet ing the loan of $500 900 due Novem Der 1 has somewhat dampened the American demand for foreign securi- ties. This loan was payable in dol lars and was placed here in 1916, be- ing one of the first foreign loans sold in this country after the war had commenced. One result of the de- fault may be to reconcentrate the in vestment of American capital in America. If so. 1t will probably be impossible much longer to avert the imitation which most economists agree will sooner or later be consequence of our continued importation of gold.
 As interest rates fall and gold be- comes cheaper 1t will be exchanged first for bonds, as at present. Then for stocks, and afterward for mer- chandise.
 This has always been the case in the past and there is no reason to expect any change in the sequence or the event
