CARELESS VOTES

In spite of all the progress that has
been made in the education of voters.
there is still much to be done. In an
eastern city where state primaries have
just been held, one of the candidates for
nomination to the state legislature was a
man with a criminal record. He has
served time as bootlegger, is known as
an associate of evil characters, and al
though acquitted of charge of murder
is known to have been present at and
had some hand in particularly I'M
savory killing. He got 1000 votes.
Who cast those 1900 votes? The
candidate hardly can have so many per-
sonal friends to vaunt their confidence
in him. There remain two explanations
ignorance and indifference.
Four thousand ignorant or Indifferent
voters in closely contested election
could swing the official power into the
hands of just such undesirables and turn
a city or state over to footing and law.

1t is predicted that the bonus bill will
be passed promptly after the tariff bill
is disposed of. 1t may be as well to have
the matter brought TO Il head as to have
it bangle. In the meantime evidence is
not lacking that there is wide difference
of opinion on the subject among the sol
diers themselves as among other citizens.
One member of an American Legion
post, asked how the boys stood on the
subject, answered as follows:
well the fellows seem to be about
equally divided. OF course the ones who
can see only the hunk of money are
keen for it, but l think most of the fell
lows have it figured out that while they
will get the money in one chunk it won't
last long, and they will spend a long
time paying it back to themselves in
taxes on things they need and want
Personally I'm not for it.
'Of course as compensation it's a
joke. Take my own case, for instance
I wasn't a big money-maker, but / figure
that my time in training and overseas
cost me somewhere between two and
three thousand dollars, and any cash
/ bonus suggested so far is away short of
/ that. But on the other hand if anybody
! from the President down was to come
to me today and offer me three thousand
| for my experience, / wouldn't take it.
And knowing what know, if the chance
came again to choose between a pile of
money and my army service, I'd take
| the service.
Zone thing / do want to see. though,
and so do all the fellows, and that is,
every disabled man looked after as he
should be. The rest of US who are able
bodied can get along"
This lad speaking in no sense officially,
still voiced the sentiments of great
body of sensible, steady boys who served
their country well in war and are now
at work serving her well in peace. His
! statement is not a very strong argument
either way, but it proves that whatever
! way any lawmaker casts his vote he
need not feel that he has failed in his
duty to any great majority. And those
who hold that in the very act of service
itself there was compensation will fnG
corroborative evidence in this lad.

holds the important post of chancellor OF
the exchequer in the British government.
One of the young men" of the cabinet,
Sir Robert has been an outstanding sue
cess. He first sprang into great proml-
nence during the British coal strike two
years ago, winning the plaudits of the
nation for the successful manner in
which he protected the peoples interests
and at the same time going far TO pro-
pitiate the miners. The son of a parish
minister in Scotland, he studied in Glas-
Cow and adopted the law as profession.
During the war he gave up large and
lucrative practice TO devote himself to re-
cruiting service. He was already in the
government as minister of labor when he
took his seat in parliament in 1920. Last
wear he succeeded ]. Austen Chamber

1t was currently estimated that pri-

as 100000 bushels and had rendered
unnecessary actual delivery here In May
OF that amount of wheat. Reports of
that kind, together with talk that some
leading bulls were letting go of their

strain recently apparent in connection
with forecasts of a huge shortage of sup
plies In Chicago next month.
Smaller holders of May wheat hast

stage an extreme fall of a cents COM

from the seaboard saying that fully
100000 bushels had been taken for
shipment TO Europe led to somewhat of
y rally, but fresh downturns ensued in
the last hour, and it seemed evident that
numerous longs in May had no further
intention of paying at steep rates for
actual delivery of wheat next month.
Corn and oats declined in ympathy
with wheat. Besides. there was consider
able talk of larger receipts of corn after
planting is over.
Provisions were easier owing TO down
turns in value of hogs and grain.

COTTON CLOSES UP
3 TO 9 POINTS NET
Market Holds Against Heavy
Delivery of Notices-Sell-
ing Is Mixed.

Considering heavy May tenders OF
Liverpool. said to be due to a local pri-
vate estimate of 10 per cent. increase
in acreage. and political friction in
Genoa. yesterdays cotton market dis
played decidedly stubborn backbone,
closing to points net higher. Re-
ports of heavy downpours in the West
ern belt. chiefly the Houston district of
Texas. were chiefly responsible for
bringing prices back after they had lost
10 to II points early in the session. The
official map showed several important
falls in Texas, and the weather was gen.
orally unsettled in the Eastern belt.
1t seemed that the market had pretty
much discounted the heavy May deliv-
cry notices. 1t was estimated that they
totaled about 225. Much early business.
however. was in May, and first hour
price movements were largely governed
by the action or the nearest option

side shorts and the trade took cotton.
Selling was mixed and largely of specu-
lative character.
Local feeling undoubtedly was az
fected by a private report that esti-
mated the indicated 1922 acreage as
37,469.000 acres. an increase of 10 per
cent. For time that report proved
useful ammunition for bear operators.

almost five inches of rain in the Black

The local spot cotton market was
quiet 10 points higher at 1926 cents a
pound for middling. There were no
spot sales in the local market. The New
Orleans spot market was quiet and
steady. unchanged at II cents for
middling. Its sales totaled s55 bales
