COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. May l2.--The easier
technical position Of the market fol
lowing recent advices and continued
unfavorable labor news from Eng
land led to reactions in the cotton

decline of to II points and sold
about ls to 2s points net lower before

A RISKY EXPERIMENT

Most Americans. probably. would like
TO see limitation Of ornaments by agree
mont, but only a few will agree with the
sentiments expressed by William ].
Rryan at Chicago. as reported in yester-
days papers. Mr.. Bryan declared his
motto 10 be: Disarmament by agree
ment IL possible. by example II neces-
sary."
The first proposition. disarmament by
agreement II possible, is not objection
able. As TO disarmament by example
however, there are decidedly serious OBJ
sections. Mr.. Bryans idea obviously IS
that II America would disarm. the other
mowers would follow her example. We
fear that this almost childlike faith IN
humanity would not be JUSTIFIED by the
results. Some Of the other powers have
10 particular love for America. to say
the least. II we should render ourselves
defenseless against powerful enemy
and then say to the other nations, Loax.
we have scrapped our battleships and
our artillery. Come on. now, everybody.
and do the same" some Of them would
come on, all right. and America would
become a province Of some other nation
or be compelled TO ransom herself by an
indemnity beside which the German
reparations are but chicken feed.
Mr.. Bryan Is = fine man and his mo-
tives are good. but this Is hard boiled
world, and. as Benjamin Franklin said.

Drug Clerks Laziness Costs
u. S. $2O,000,000 Year

Washington. D. c.. May 70 Lazy
drug clerks are costing the Govern
ment SEQ 1000, 900 a year because OF their
failure to put revenue stamps on cos
metics, medicines and other articles.
Within the last month the figures snow
that the failure TO put stamps on WHAT
is sold in drug stores cost the Govern
ment in excess Of s1.o00,000 below the
estimates Of what would be derived.
and the habit Is growing worse.
The official estimates on which CON
rress worked In prescribing the tax held
that approximately Si0,0o0,oOO would be
realized from this source. Now 1t is
doubtful If more than s2o.00o.00o Will
be collected The official estimates
were more or less accurate, owing to the
fact that the tax had been in force. but
in a different way. for long time.
The tax law provides that the tax
on such products he one cent for each
item sold for 20 cents or less. but on
items of more than % cents that it be
ut the r2te of per cent. Originally
the tax had been levied on such prod
ucts at the source, with the result that
the Treasury officials had a fair idea
Of what should be levied.
Inquiry at drug stores has developed
that the proprictors have been insisting
that stamps be affixed. but the clerks
are forgetful.

OUR SECOND HAND SCHOOL
ROCKS

Why Is il necessary for the wheeling
board Of education to buy second mana
hooks for use in our schools? A state
ment that The clerk OF the board was
following this practice was made IN
local paper recently by member OF
the board. Thursday night with only
one dissenting vote, the board gave It's
anproyal TO such purchases and voted
that they should be continued
II Is said that the board acted AFTER
communications had been read TO the
effect that no disease had been spread
by the distribution OF second hano
books. This may or may not be true.
II can only be an expression OF opinion
for IL cannot be demonstrated to be
fact. Pupils in our schools do occa-
sionally become infected with contagious
diseases. Who can say positively that
none Of these cases Is due to germs
from second hand books? Who knows
how many diseased children may have
handled these books before they reach
Wheeling to be distributed among our
boys and girls:
Even II this risk Of disease should be
small. why should Wheeling use second
hand books? Our school board spends
a great deal Of money. and In some
cases gets very small returns. Why
seek TO make up for waste and inenici-
ency by saving in a way that may en-
danger the health and lives OF Children

TAFT OR SUTHERLAND?

As between eN-President Taft and eX-
Senator Sutherland Of Utah. public SEN
timent probably will favor Taft for the
position Of chief justice Of the supreme
court. There is no question as to the
ability Of either. Both are men Of the
highest character and standing and OF
eminent legal qualifications. Either
would no doubt perform tho exacting
duties OF the high position in an entirely
satisfactory manner.
Mr.. Taft. however. is better known
than Mr. Sutherland and has the advan-
tage Of having been native born
American. whereas Sutherland was not
born in the United States. He is 100
percent American just the same. but in
such cases there Is always slight but
we'll defined prejudice against elevation
20 the highest honors. None but ma
tive born American may become presi-
dent, and it is felt by many that the
same rule should apply to tho chief
justice.

has discovered that the operation OF the
Panama Canal has come imperceptloly

the country realizes.
During 1920 an average or seven anu
two-thirds ships per day was put
through the canal. and to do this work
the country maintained force or H.
500 civil employees. The rate OF pay
given these employees is still the same
as il was made at the beginning when
the canal was unhealthy. and it was nee
essary to offer inducements 10 get men

arc still maintained, include free house

adverse opinion. congress has passed a
law giving the president absolute power
to control cable landings in the United

request Of the state department. which
holds that American business expansion
in South America is being INSTRUCTED
by the cable conditions there The new
law will give this nation a weapon by
which better conditions may be obtained.
