That is what thousands upon
thousands bave been asking in
these past days. And slowly
they are turning to him who led
them. His suffering face and
palsied side are a symbol of
their crippled hopper. How is
it with him." they ask, "a living
sacrifice to that faith and that
vision? Does he still believe?
Has he lost faith as we'll as
strength"
And so they seek him. He
means something to them; they
don't quite know what. He is a
living link with their noblest
phase. Those who destroyed
that phase are giving them
nothing in its place. What does
it all mean? And so they follow
his carriage, gather before his
house, stand in rain and snow
and cold before the theatre to
get even the most fleeting
glimpse, something that will bid
them live again as they did in
those great moments. Golfers

BACKWARD LOOK

A time, way back yonder, the ed
itor was associated with Judge d.
B. Garrison in the business of gath
ering and dispensing of news. Those
were happy days and as we muse
over those days of long ago when
the heart pumped stronger and life
elixir ,-,;;ttaall;zed to its heights many
are the Incidents that come bounding
in. We wish time and space could
permit their rehearsal, for each one
would have its interesting class.
Judge Garrison liveth, and though
he win one of these days close his
eyes and they will say he is dead,
he will continue to live with foot
prints indelibly here and there. That
the folks down here will think of this
educator, lawyer, journalist and
preacher as he is, doer of good to
humanity. we give this verse;
Muslng on the Muse
The muse is sometimes amusing,
Likewise also may be quite confus-
ing.
Each year, I'd order two pages or
twenty,
And old Mr.. Muse would grind out
a plenty.
But I've lost his number-perhaps
he's gone west
To give you and himself long need
ed rest.
Well, let him go. What's a Muse,
more or less
Just simply nothing tween old
friends, ! guess.
But my old heart compels me to say
this TO you,
May all days be CHRISTMAS days all
the years through.
As friends we met-of my life you're
part,
You entered its portals, you abide
in my heart.
ID. B. Garrison, Tacoma, Wash,
Christmas, 1921.

a goddess, see-Nonsense. No
goddess could e'er escape me.

New York. November 12.-Dafeat of the state prohibition enforcement: act and of another measure provid- ing for state regulation of motion pictures by the voters of Massachu- setts were two of the most impor- tant referendum questions decided in the northeastern states at Tuesday elections. The same state also adopted an act providing that volun- tary associations might sue, or be sued, which was opposed by the labor unions, and an act providing that district attorneys must be members of the bar, which was passed by the legislature after the removal and disbarment of District Attorney Pel- letter of Boston.
 Pennsylvania adopted, by a large majority, an amendment to the state constitution giving municipalities the right to amend their own charters.
 Voters of Maryland acted favor ably on several amendments. These provided for increase legislature representation for the city of 9alti- more; extension of the term of office of the state comptroller and treasurer from two to four years; quadrennial elections for all state and county of- ficers. except judges, and making women eligible to hold office by con struing all words and phrases de- noting masculine gender to include feminine gender.
 With 6S of New Jerseys 2,464 elec- tion districts still unheard from. the voters of that state apparently passed favorably on proposal to is- sue S40.000,000 worth of bonds for highway improvements.

TREND IS HIGHER
 IN COTTON MARKET
New High Records for Season Are Made at Two
 Sessions
By AssoeIated Pres,

New Orleans. November 12.-while there were many reactions from the advance in the cotton market this last week, the trend was still strong ly higher, and on two sessions out of the four sessions of the week. new high records for the season were made, prices first crossing the 25 cent level and then the Recent level At the highest of the week, December traded at 26.27 cents, with the active position 130 to 150 points over the close of the preceding week. Re- actions many times amounted to only about sf a bale. and most of the wider setbackst did not exceed s2 a bale. The close was 75 to 90 points net higher on tile week. with Decem- Der at 25.65 cents.
 One of the main reasons why the reactions were not wider was the strength of spots. which constantly led contracts at the advance and re- fused to give ground when contracts reacted. Spots closed at the highest quotations for the week and season. 26.07 cents pound for middling. and at net gains on the week of 1S7 points on that grade. year ago middling in this market closed at 1875 cents. Reports from the interior noted equally as strong position in the spot centers there, most messages claiming that there were more buyers tkan sellers for all grades. The de- mand for cotton with any staple at all in 1t, was especially strong.
 Ginning Figures Low
 The ginning figures of the week, issued by the census bureau, greatly stimulated bullish sentiment as the production of s.13s,S3S bales to the first of November was we'll under all but extremely bullish predictions, and was even slightly lower than the low est estimates given out on the bull side of the market. This report on ginning immediately was followed by fresh crop of very low estimates of the total yield, most of the guesses being around s,500.000 bales. One es- tirnate that attracted a great deal of attention came from private bureau III lOil dHQ pidCSQ tH6 lOtdl yield at only 9,350,0oo bales. For eign news continued to be regarded as highly unfavorable. but it was completely offset, in It's influence on the market, by the ginning report and the news from the spot depart ment.
 This coming week it looks as if the ginning of the crop again will fur nish much of the incentive for trad ing since the fifth ginning record of the season will end with the close of business on Monday The early part of the week probably will bring forth private estimates of produc- tion from bureaus and interests wao keep close tab on ginning Should ginning show a further falling off, # would clinch extremely small crop claims and probably lead to further important operations on the long side of the market. but should the expected slump in ginning not to be indicated, the reactionary tendency of the market probably would be strengthened.
