CHAPTER x.


4 and Some Raiders Como 70 Burn and
Stay to Repent.
Within a week after their return the
election came OF and Abe was defeat
ed, although in his precinct two hum
dred and twenty-seven out Of q total or
three hundred votes had been cast for
him. He began to consider which way
to turn. Maj. John 7. Stuart, a law
yer Of Springfield had been his
.comrade In the ''war'--had encour-
aged him to study law and. further,
had offered to lend him books. So he
looked for an occupation which would
give him leisure for study. Offut, his
former employer, had failed and clear
ed out. The young giant regarded
thoughtfully the scanty opportunities
OF the village. He could hurl his great
strength into the axhead and make a
good living, but he had learned that
such a use Of 1t gave him better ap-
petite for sleep than study.
John Mcneil, who for short time
had shared his military adventures,
had become a partner Of Samuel Hill
In a store larger and better stocked
than any the village had known. But
Hill and Mcneil had no need Of clerk.
Roman Herndon and William Berry
had opened general store. Mr..
Herndon offered to- sell his interest to
Abe and take notes for his pay. It
was not a proposition that promised
anything but loss. The community was
small and there were three other
stores, and there was no other "Bill'
Berry. who was given to drink and
dreams, as Abe knew.
Abe Lincoln had not been trained to
weigh the consequences Of business
enterprise. The store would give him
leisure for study and New Salem could
offer him nothing else save consuming
toll with the ak or the saw. He could
not think Of leaving the little cabin
village. There were Ann Rutledge and
Jack Kelso and Samson Traylor and
Harry Needles. Every ladder climb
er In the village and on the plain
around It was his friend.
Upon these people who knew and
respected him Abe. Lincoln based his
hopes. Among Ntheh he had found his
vision and failure Dad not diminished
or dimmed It. He would try again
for a place in which he could serve
them and Il he could learn to serve
Sangamon county he could learn to
serve the state and, possibly, even the
republic. With this thought and a
rather poor regard for his own In
terest his name fell Into bad company
on the signboard Of Berry and Lin
coin. Before he took his place In the
store he walked to Springfield and
borrowed q law book from, his friend
Major Stuart.
The career Of the arm began on a
hot day late In August with Bill Berry
smoking his pipe In 4 chair On the lit
tle veranda Of the store and Abe Lin
coin sprawled ID the shade Of tree
that partly overhung its root, reading
law book. The face Of Mr.. Berry
suddenly assumed 4 look Of anima-
tion. A small, yellow dog which had
sssn lying In repose beside him rose
and growled, his hair rising, and with
little cry Of alarm and astonish-
ment lied under the store. n

bEAR|SH TRADING FEATURES COTTON
 AT NEW ORLEANS
Threatened Rail Strike and Drop of German Mark Is Cause of Much Selling
 During the Week
By Associated Press

New Orleans, October 23.-A lower range oI prices accompanied trading in cotton last week, the market at its highest still being 21 to 32 points under the close of the preceding week. while at it's lowest it was l41i to 155 points under. The net changes on the close were declines of 95 to l06 points
 Fluctuations were within limits of 120 to 124 points. December traded as high as lS.51c, as low as 17.2Sc and closed at 17.s3c. In the spot depart ment prices lost 75 points on middling which closed at 1s.25c against 19.75c this week last year.
 Much of the selling of the early part of the week was done on the threatened railroad strike. although more or less selling was prompted by unfavorable government political news and the drop to new low levels of thes German mark After the mid dle of the week bearish rumors con cerning ginning and private bureau report of 5,700.000 bales ginned to October Is. accompanied by the esti mate that this amount was but "A per cent of the crop were the main features back of the selling. At the end of the week the tone was steadier because of the favorable statistics on mill takings.
 According to Hester, mill takings for the week were 357,000 bales against 154,o00 this week last year and 26s.000 two years ago, bringing tal<ings for the season up 2,93S.000 bales against 1,775.000 during same period last year and 2,f09,000 two years ago. Exports for the week were counted at 245.0Si bales against 10S.394 and 65,S40 bringing the move ment for the season up to 1.487,5A2 bales against 764,412 and 936,917.
 According to the way the private ginning report of 5,700.000 bales was figured in this market 1t pointed to total yield of 7,700.00o bales and this was the real reason for the sell Ing. the report of 5,700,000 bales in itself not being considered very bear ish since it indicated ginning for this last period of but 2,7T7,0o0 bales against talk of 3.000.000 bales during good part of the week.
 This coming week the main event will be the census bureau report on ginning which Is due at o'clock Tuesday morning. New Orleans time, unless railroad labor troubles furnish important news. As the ginning question now stands cotton traders say 1t is almost impossible for clean cut opinions to be formed, for the census bureau will merely give the total ginned to october Is and will not make any estimate of what per- centage of the total crop its figures represent.
 Many points in the belt claim the crop Is from 80 to 90 per cent ginned.

CHANGES ORDERED IN MANAGEMENT OF
 CANAL TERRITORY
Weeks Makes Recommenda- tions to Governor of the Panama Zone Regard
 ing Administration
By Associated Press

Washington, October Exchanges in business management and govern mental administration of the Panama canal zone as recommended by the special war department commission sent there to study conditions were in part approved and ordered into effect by Secretary Weeks.
 The war secretary ordered Cover nor Morrow to make changes in af- fairs of the zone as follows: TO charge employees a moderate sum for quarters, light, fuel and other services instead of furnishing them free as al present; to deal with the employees, whether union or nonAunion, openly through committees or representa- tives composed of employees, whether representative of labor organizations or not: to follow in the matter of wages not necessarily the union rate in the United States, but on rate actually paid for similar services in various representative parts of the United States whether it be union or non-union rate; to enter into no agreement as to labor which cannot be terminated at any time within
  nor; to give employees the privilege of laying any proper claim or complaint before the governor or some govern ment agency; to abrogate all agree ments limiting the use of tropical la Dor; to give encouragement to agri- culture: to handle no matters direct ly with the Panama government ex ceptiE.s those arising from exercise of the governors executive functions. and to have other matters dealt with through the state department.
 With respect to tropical labor, the wider use of which was recommended by the commission, Secretary Weeks said he could not sanction the em- ployment of such alien labor in re- sponsible positions but believed such workers could be used to greater gxtent for low grade work.
 The Paname government should be informed,' the secretary said in a letter to Governor Morrow announc- ing his decision, that the canal aai- thorities are within their rights un- der the treaty in purchasing and sell ing supplies to the employes of the canal zone The Panama govern ment should be advised that in the opinion of the department the proper ty in the cities of Colon and Panama is properly held by the railroad and that there has been no violation of the treaty In connection with the im- provements thereon"
 Governor Morrow requested time for further study of certain recom mendations and Mir. Weeks reserved decision on these.

CONFLICT IS SEEN
 ON ARM|ST|CE DAY

Washington, October 2S.-Officials in charge of arrangements for the armament conference and those for mulating the programme for the American unknown dead exercises on Armistice .Day are somewhat worried as to how the two events could be arranged. without having the pro- grammes conflict.
 The military escort for the un- known dead is scheduled to leave the capital with President Harding and cabinet members at its head at s:so o'clock the morning of November II. The exercises in the amphitheatre at Arlington. as planned, would continue well into the afternoon. and would be followed by luncheon for the distin- guished visitors.
 While the opening session of the conference would. in the opinion of some officials, be more appropriately held in the early morning and ad- journment taken out of the respect to the American unknown dead and In recognition of the Armistfce Day. It would seem impossible to meet be- fore s g. m, in order to avoid con flict with the other programme, it was said. Consequently it was thought probable that the initial meeting of theecVrr esence nssfisS l1e postponed until tate pr taS HfssF noon of ArmistSee Dag

LAW
 URGED FOR ALIENS.
Davis Makes Plea Before the Immigration Committee for
 Adoption of System
By Associated Press

Washington, october 23.-SecretarY of Labor Davis, himself naturalized alien, told the House immigration committee Saturday that what this country needed was compulsory registration law for all aliens, in- cIudlng the millions already here and those eager to come.
 Every alien ought to be registered and it should be mandatory" he said. We ought to keep tab, every three months on the foreigner who wants to become citizen, to help him along and to show him something about our system of living and government. The pig thing is to protect the alien from those who are taking advantage of him
 The labor secretary appeared be1ore the committee at hearing on the Johnson bill to require annual regis traitor of all aliens desiring to be- corne American citizens. Such legis- lation, MT Davis said, would only be opposed by the "alien agitator who wants to retain his foreign citizen ship"
 We can help save them from the road to jail by starting right ana starting carly the secretary said, re- ferring to the aliens within America's gates. By keeping in close touch with heads of families and children we can teach them the principles of Amerl- canism and under compulsory regis tration there will be fewer children growing up who are unable to under stand our language.
 Mir Davis declared 1t was impor- tant to have the alien understand that registration was in no way | part ot an espionage system, but intended to help him.
 Let him know this,' he added, and the good alien will soon discover that the agitator or the bolshevik IS under suspicion and is not fit character for him to associate with or know.
