FORMER SENATOR
SMITH DISCUSSES
COTTON SITUATION
Cotton men are expressing inter

Cotton men are expressing inter
ator Hoke Smith, as announced
briefly in Washington dispatches,
that southern farmers and mer-
chants are more nearly in control
Of prices and the general cotton sit
uation than ever before.
Cotton has not often sold for its
fair value" declares Senator Smith.
1.-THE carryover cotton and the new
crop usually have been so in excess
of the demand that the farmers took
whatever they were offered, and
sacrificed their cotton. This year
the situation is changed.
"The carryover in America was on
August 1 Hester), 2,623,00O bales.
1.-THE total crop is government es-
timate), 10,135, 900 bales.
1.-THE total available supply from
carryover ana the new crop is 12,-
758, 5000 bales.
'On August 1, 1923, at least mil
lion bales will be required for distri-
button among the mills, to keep them
in operation until the new crop can
reach them. It is safe to estimate
that the mills will require from All
gust 1 Of the present year to Au-
gust 1 of next year, 100000 bales
Of American cotton. They consum-
ed more than this amount during
the past year.
add to this the 100000 bales re-
quired from August l next year I'M
til the crop Of 1928 reaches the mills,
and we have a demand upon the
present crop and carryover amount
ing to 100000 bales, While the ac-
tual supply is 12,75S,000 bales.
"The holders of spot cotton this
year occupy a position from which
they are entitled to name the price,
for the supply is 100000 bales less
than the demand. If the farm agen-
cies have the 2,500,000 bales under
contract, which is claimed, they are
in position easily to obtain thirty
cents pound for their cotton. This,
above all years, is the time when
holders Of cotton in the south should
sell only as the mills require it for
consumption.
"Those with whom I talked be-
lieved cotton will sell for twenty
five cents as soon as southern pres
sure to sell ceases, and some Of them
believed thirty-cent cotton probable
before the first of January.
"The figures I have used were OBJ
tanned in New York city, and buy,
ers do not doubt the demand for
cotton during the coming season
will exceed the supply"

Labor Federation
Urges Action Against
Congress Reaction

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The po-
litical campaign committee Of the
American Federation of Labor, in a
formal statement Tuesday, urged
voters in the forthcoming elections
to take a stand against reaction
in congress" The statement en-
bodied an appeal for a breaking
down of the somewhat popular i'm
preston" that elections only in
presidential years, were important,
and to regard every election as
having direct bearing on whether
have congresses favorable to prog
ress, or whether reaction should
govern.
Consider the congress as it has
been," the statement continued.
mot single constructive measure
has been made into law. On the
contrary, one reactionary proposal
after another has been brought for
ward. Therex have been sufficient
friends of the public interest in
congress to prevent enactment into
law Of the most vicious measures,
but not enough Of them to take
command and enact constructive
measures"
The statement, described by it's
authors as a "call to duty" con-

coming elections, enumerating the

SMOKE CONSUMERS
TO BALK REVIEWERS
BY GEORGE r. MILTON, JR.
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Downright, 1921

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 26.
The moonshiners of the Tennessee
mountains are enlisting science in
their fight to circumvent the dry
officials.
The latest move is smoke con
sumers on their stills. They have
been forced to this by the dry Off
Gals who have been locating the
illicit factories from airplanes. Small,
suspicious columns Of smoke, mount
| ing far into the heavens from the
banks of streams, mountain wells
and clumps of trees, in the past,
have furnished the evidence on
which raids were made.
Vic and Eli Williams, the federal
enforcement agents here, have mad
two years experience in the war
| fare in the hills which has become a
veritable battle of wits. The Will
liamses, who, incidentally, are not
elated, scout. along the mountain
roads night and day in a rickety car
seeking the lair Of the sinner"
Soon after they started the sound
of that particular Lizzie" became
known throughout the entire coun.
try-side. A, woman would suddenly
appear near a mountain cabin, d
bell would be rung or a hunting
horn blown, possibly she would fire
a shot in the air, and very shortly
they realized this was the signal that
the "revenoors were about"
They have kept on and have kept
their old Ford. They also brought
in the airplane for their use and il
was this which brought about the
ground hog" still in which all OF
the smoke is consumed and there
is no evidence from the air of the
surrounding countryside that moon
shine is being manufactured.
The fact that this was the plan
was revealed when, as they were
passing along mountain rCrsd they
encountered another auto whose in
mates hurriedIy fled. They were
captured and their car yielded up g.
gallons of white mule" Search OF
their place eventually revealed the
still which was found to have ex
tremely effective smoke consumers
attached to the outlet.
"It is a new one on u.s." Vic Will
liams said today, "but we will fine
| q way TO cope with IL as we nave
with all other interference in the
past.
Vic told of the most amusing cap
ture yet made which took place in
his latest raid before he found the
new era still. Striding along :
mountain trail they were startled by
heavy bump. Right ahead of then
was one Of the largest and fattesl
opossums they have ever sene. He
was plainly sick andswhen picked uE
smelled like an up-to-date distillery
They watched him for a time ant
finally he started along path whlCf
being followed, led directly to a still
in full operation. The opossun
raade for the mash slop and the raid
ers pulled their guns and arrested
! two men.
incidentally, they returned eyi
for good as they killed and later ate
the opossum.
"And he surely did taste good, be
ing fat and tender from the mash,
said Williams.

|DARW|N|AN THEORY
To Be GIVEN TESTS
BYNOTEDLECTURER
by GOLDYE III. SOSNA
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.
Copyright, 1927

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Tsts to es-
tablish proof that Darwin was right
will be made by E. M. Newman,
noted lecturer who has Just return
ed from a six months study Of ami
NAL life in Africa. He will use Toto
almost human chimpanzee to demon
strate the worth Of his experiments
If Toto, who is on exhibition at
Lincoln Park, recognizes members Of
the ape family when moving pic
lures are thrown on a screen Al
Orchestra hall one day this week
when it is argued another stamp of
approval will have been placed Oh
the DarWinian theory that man is
descended from the ape.
The animal will be dressed as a
| man, put in a box with Alfred
Parker, superintendent Of the LIN
coin Park zoe and his every move
ment will be watched. Should he ap-
parently recognize the wild members
of the family whose pictures were
| taken by Newman in Africa and
make an effort to greet them by telll
or gesture, as would a human were
he taken back 70 civilization after
having been stranded for years III
/ the wilds, it will be believed that
Toto has demonstrated human in
stinct.
On the other hand, should he re-
main perfectly calm and pass the
pictures by as he does all others
that are shown it will not demon
strate that the experiment has COM
rletely failed.
"Were Darwin living today" SAID
Mr.. Newman, che could convince the
world that his theory is correct. 1
have studied the habits and it,
stincts of the monkey family for
many years. I have watched the
chimpanzee take a bath. First it
washes it's ears, then its neck. then
the face, rubs it's feet and then it's
Eody just as a human would. No
other animal shows this human in
stinct.
"Its features are human. Its
hands and feet, the nails in particu-
lar, are like those of a man. Hand
ed a knife and fork it understands
tC cut and pick. These are not
tricks of training but natural Unborn
human instincts Of the chimpanzea
Of course, it does not have human
intelligence because human intelfi-
gence is born Of actual knowledge
but it's other human traits plainly
are inherited"
Newman says he found other cvi-
dences in Africa that brought him
nearer to solution Of the ancestry
Of man. At the Mountain of the
Moon in the northern Congo region,
there lives a race who have the
habits of the lowest type. These
PEOPLE also have small appendage
visible at the base of their spinal
column, which is believed to be tie
remnant Of the tail Of the ch!mpan-
