COTTON OUTLOOK

Bureau of the Census reports that
in the IL months, between August 1,
1921, and June 30, 1922, there were
5,453,361 bales of lint cotton con-
sumed in domestic mills and 6,017,-
1913 more were exported. These fig
ures lead to the conclusion that by
the end of the crop year-July 81
there will be about 100000 bales of
American-grown lint cotton in the
United States, compared with more
than 100000 last year. The sur
plus will barely meet demand until
the first week in October, when new
cotton ordinarily moves in volume.
Last years crop and ,holdover
amounted to 14,511,025 bales Of
lint, of all grades and classes Mill
consumption and exports of lint, ex-
GLIDING linters, in the II months end
ing with June 30, amounted to H.
27S,120 bales. Thus, the supply of
American-grown cotton in the United
States on July / should be 3,238,900
bales of lint. Consumption and ex-
ports have averaged a little more
than a million bales a month. AT the
same rate through July, the surplus
on the first of August, when the new
crop year begins, should approximate
100000 ales. As 354,S78 bales Of
foreign cotton have been imported
the supply Of cotton Of all kinds
should be that much more.
Cotton moves in August and Sep
tember. hut not in volume. Last
year the crop was early and picking
by a price ranging around
20 cents By the end Of September,
1,175,0 900 bales had been brought into
sight, and in each of the two preced-
ing seasons the average was 1,000,-
600. So, it is not until October that
an, adequate supply has usually come
into sight. This year the movement
may be slower because the co-operat-
i've marketing associations will con-
troll about one-third- of the crop
October is usually the earliest date
on which consumers can expect an
adequate supply Of new cotton, BY
that date the August / supply of
old cotton should be exhausted and
nothing left for the 1929 season
except what is raised and picked this
year Perhaps never before has the
cotton market faced such a stu
alton. Wall Street Journal.

COST OF STRIKES IN AMERICA

Statistics issued by the Department
Of Labor show that strikes in this
country average more than $500 per
year. It is not contended by the de-
partment that its figures, are aecu-
rate, since they depend upon news
paper and trade paper reports for the
most part, but that they are under,
rather than oyerstatements.
1t is impossible truthfully to esti-
mate the average cost Of the strike,
since they vary SO in duration, number
of workmen affected and economic
loss through whatever industry is
wholly or patially shut down. But if
the most conservative possible esti-
mate be adopted, and it is considered
that the average strike affects 100
workmen, and that the average strike
lasts 10 days, the total arrived at Isl
100000 working days lost per year
If the average cost to each workman
is SIS per day and the-average loss to
each industry does not exceed three
times the loss of the workmen, then
strikes cost this country S66,0O0,000I
year.
1t is not believed that these figures
are anything but suggestive. The
average strike undoubtedly affects
thousands, rather than hundreds, and
for many more than 10 days. Few
union laborers receive as little as SIS
day, and, of course, the industry
effected suffers out Of all proportion
to the workmen.
But it is pointed out at the capitol,
if it were true that only S66, 600
were wasted by strikes every year,
that S66,000,Q00 spent in proper chan
nels on arbitration would undoubtedly
stop most, if not an, the strikes!
It might be an economic measure
to spend part Of it for accurate sta
tiSties Of strike costs to the country;
"a little education on what it really
Gosh to stop work might make people
lessl willin to indulge in, or cause
strikes.

HUNTER RAINE DIES
IN WASHINGTON CITY


@. Hunter Raine, aged 65, former
/ president Of the defunct Mercantile
iBank Of Memphis, which broke in
1914 with a shortage OF $1,0Sl 900,
died suddenly at midnight Thursday
in the Burlington Hotel, Washington,
Death was caused by an acute attack
Of heart trouble, aggravated by kid
ney trouble. He was i'll only two
hours.
When occupants of an adjoining
room heard groans issuing from the
room occupied by Raine they sum
moned hotel clerks. Physicians and
trained nurse were obtained I'M
mediately, but Raine sank rapidly,
conscious almost to the end.
Mr.. Raine had made Washington
his business headquarters since the
middle Of last January, when he went
there with Henry H. Cannon in the
interest Of Henry H. Cannon Com
pany, Inc, which was organized to
sell Americas surplus cotton to Ger
many on a plan by which German
cotton cloth manufacturers were to
pay for the staple from the sale OF
Raine and Cannon had several cor
the manufactured goods. Messrs
ferences with Gov. Harding, Of the
Federal Reserve Board, as to the
operation Of the plan in the matter
of rediseounting the paper based upon
bills of lading, marine insurance and
other payment guarantees. !.
Mr.. Raine was very optimistic as
to the financial possibilities Of the
plan and stated not long ago to a
friend that with the first money no
realized he would pay every dollar ho
owed in Memphis He had recently
become a Christian Scientist and at
intervals had a "healer" to treat him.
He was convicted in federal court
and sentenced to the federal pen at
Atlanta where, after four years
seryitude, his friends obtained a par
don. Immediately upon his arrival
in Memphis he was arrested by state
tried again and sentenced
to serve one to five years in the
Nashville pen. He was greatly
emaciated upon entering this insti-
tuition and because Of his physical
Gov. Taylor pardoned him,
after only few weeks Incarceration.
He served about four and one-half
years in both penal institutions and
came out virtually penniless.

Judge Thetus W. Sins, of Lexing-
ton, Tenn, candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
Senator, announced Friday night his
withdrawal from the race, declaring
that under the state primary law
only excessively rich men could hope
to be elected to public office. He also
said because of the apathy and in
difference of voters he was unable to
propeBly present his position on press
ing public questions.
The withdrawal Of Judge Sims
leaves the contest between Senator
Kenneth D. Mcclellan, Capt. G. 4,
Fitzhugh, both of Memphis, and Hon.
Noah Cooper, who are now waging a
bitter campaign.

WOMEN URGED 10 VOTE

At nesting Of Democratic women
voters of the State of Ohio. Senator
/ Atlee Pomerene urged the necessity
Of women exercising their privilege
OF voting at the polls in the forth
coming elections.
The same conditions existing in
Ohio is true of Tennessee. All vot-
ers can qualify in the primary by
I paying their poll tax before August
8, which will also qualify them for the
general election to be held November
7, 1ext.
We make the following extract
from Senator P0merene's speech:
There was time when there was
difference of opinion in the United
States whether or not women should
have the right to vote That is purely
an academic question now. | do not
look upon the right Of suffrage as a
privilege. look upon it as an obi
cation. 1t is just as much your duty
and my duty to take an interest, in
telligent as we'll as active, in the af-
fairs Of state as it is for the good
wives and mothers to take such an.
interest in their household affairs, or
for men and women to take such an
interest in their business affairs. The
government of the United States is
the household of Uncle Sans people,
and every man and woman must take
a real interest in Uncle Sans house,
keeping, otherwise they will fall short
0f dOiny THAR fill diltv
The vast majority of all parties are
good people, men and women. III
we get the wrong kind Of men and
women Of our ticket it is, as al
rule, because the good men and wo-
men have not taken the interest in
political affairs they ought to take.
There can be no question about that.
Our government is just as good as
its people and no better Our gov
ernment serves the people to the ex-
tent they take an active and intelli-
gent interest in it. 1t is for this rea-
son every God-fearing man and wo-
man ought to take a real interest in
our government. And let me say to
you, my friends, the vicious men and
women, almost without exception, will
be found active during campaigns
and at the polls on election day. The
question for us to determine for our
selves is: Are we going to shirk our
duty, or are we going to do it with
the same intensity of purpose they
do what they conceive to be their
duty?
There are two kinds of sin. One
is the sin of commission. One is the
sin of omission When men and wo-
men go to the polls and knowingly
vote for the wrong candidate they
are guilty of the sin of commission. |
When men and women fail to take an
active and intelligent interest in the
affairs of government and do not go
to the polls they are guilty Of the sin
Of omission. In my judgment they
are equally culpable with those guilty |
eff the sin of commission. want to
appeal to the good men and women of
Ohio to take such an interest in the /
affairs Of our government as they
never have before in our lives.
ut is estimated that under the
stimulus of the high rates proposed (
in the pending / II, the women Of the
United States win be forced to pay
approximately one billion dollars
more for clothing than they pay now
under the observation-disclosures law
This includes all articles Of women's
apparel, from lace to hair
nets.

MAY PICK WENDELL
TO COACH COLUMBIA
Include Former Harvard Star
Among Probable Successors
for O'Neill.

Another prospect was added yesterday
to the list Of probable successors TO
Buck O'Neill as head coach of football
at Columbia University. No names are
mentioned. but admission that he Is
coach of a certain New England coll
lege" and that his teams have twice
defeated Columbia on South Field" leads
about everybody on Morningside Heights
TO conclude that the new prospect Is
Percy Wendell OF Williams.
AS captain OF Harvard in 1912 Wen
dell was pretty much OF a unanimous
choice for All-America fullback honors.
Following the resignation of Joe Brooks
as coach at Williams he was placed in
charge Of the squad for 1921. He i'm
mediately introduced the Houghton sys-
TEN at Williamstown and was successful
in winning the Little Three" champion
ship for Williams for the first time in
twenty years. Another successful season
was enjoyed by the Purple this season.
Wendell is said to be held IN high favor
at Columbia.
Mention OF Wendelps name I'm con-
nection with the vacancy lengthens the
list of probable coaches to five. For
some days past the name of Earl j.
Greasy Neale, Washington and JEFF
ferson coach, has been coupled with the
job. as has the name OF George Foster
Sanford Rutgers coach, who once before
shouldered the responsibility of turning
out a football winner at Columbia. The
other two are Joe Brooks. assistant to
ONeill for the last two seasons, and
Doc Cook. former De Witt Clinton
coach, who has turned out two strong
freshman teams at Morningside
While the job Of guessing who'll be
the next Columbia football coach is
being tackled with all seriousness about
the campus, O'Neill and the football
players are busy up at Baker Field
getting ready for the seasons finale
Thanksgiving Day morning, when the
powerful Colgate outfit will be encoun-
tered on South Field. Only Princeton.
Cornell and Syracuse have defeated the
Hamiltonians, who have carralcd a total
OF 23S points themselves and have been
growing in strength as the season pro-
crosses. All in all. the game looks like
one of the hardest on the Blue and
White schedule.

Betting at Race Tracks Is
LeRalized in New Orleans

Special Dsspofeh to THE New Yosx HxnArp.
NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 27.--Betting on
tho races here within the Enclosure of
race track was again legalized to-day
when Justice Ben Dawkins of the Su-
prernc Court affirmed the decision OF
Criminal District Court Judge Richa rd
A. Dowling. finding Joseph Musta chi o
guilty OF having operated Handbook
on the races.
Mustachia appealed from the decis-
fon OF Judge Bowling, arguing that Act
1877 of 1920 was class legislation and
could not prohibit n man from taking a
bet on a horse race In an open saloon,
restaurant. cigar stand or other place. IL
Il was allowed at the race track.
Justice Dawkins in uphoding the law
declared that the Legislature had right
to say whether or not betting can be
done on legitimate race tracks within
an inclosure. and since they had ruled
so and barred betting outside of a race
track. the law must be upheld.

Academy Is gradually getting back into
its normal stride. There is a lingering
sweetness to the taste of victory and
minor celebrations are being held here

The varsity team has been disbanded
but plans are already under way for

schedule makers are busy arrnging
the Army's program for 1923, which, 1t
is said, may include games with several
colleges who have never yet faced Army

that in the effort TO get another Western
eleven on its schedule the Army had
offered a date for some Saturday In
October TO Ohio State. but that the
Buckeye collegiaps had not found 1t con-
venient to accept. Williams has also
been mentioned as a probable opponent
for the Cadets in one OF its early

Yale Daily News Asks
Support for Tad Jones
University Paper Hits at
Destructive Criticism

Special Dispatch to The New YoRK HERALD.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 27.-Out Of the
avalanche of criticism of Tad Jones be-
cause of the failure of the rale football
team to beat its traditional rivals
comes plea from the official organ OF
the university, the Yale Daily Netcs, for
unqualified and constructive support OF
the powers that be- with minimum OF
destructive criticism.
The Netos gives Harvard all praise for
the victory. OF the game Saturday and
the resultant protest the paper says:
"Once again sound predictions were
completely upset and once again the uni
versity is forced to accept the bitter cup
of defeat. The defeat, however. was
not q degrading one. for Harvard had
one of her great teams, and one OF her
great teams was essential for O. defeat
Of the 1929 university team. Harvard's s
attack was sufficiently alert and strong
to take advantage OF her two scoring
opportunities against an unyielding de-
tense: her defense was so effective
against an exceptionally powerful Of
fense that her goal line was never
crossed and never dangerously threat
ened her whole game was entirely de-
serving of the victory. To Harvard and
her team Yale extends fully merited
compliments and congratulations.
For n victory over this years team
is an achievement OF extremely credit
able distinction. The strength OF the
team has been pointed out time and
again and Saturday this strength was
evident. The team. however, was out
played and cleariydefeated, but the team
can still hold their heads high for the
game they played and the university can
stIll hold its head high for the team
that represented them. There is no
stigma on them nor on any one for the
defeat; there Is merely glory for Har-
ward.
CAS- for the cause of that defeat prob
ably every undergraduate and every
graduate has his own theory. Tho game,
however, Is too close and the feeling
still too intense TO see IL In q disinter-
ested and Unconditional light. Criticism
which emanates from tho resultant
highly strung sources IN TO all intents
and purposes destructive. This type of
criticism is distinctly injurious and can
have no place In to-day's problem. II
is the psychology resulting from such
criticism and from the spiy1t which gives
rise to II which is In iarss part respon-
sible for Yales continued defeats What
is needed now and throughout the next
