SH A RP OPENING ON COTTON LOST
 BY LIQUIDATION

NEW YORK. April 23.-A very
 sharp opening in the cotton market | was lost as result of renewed liqui- dation, but after selling off from assoc to 27.04c. May firmed up again
 to 27.S0c. while later deliveries made
 new high prices for the day in the late trading. May closed at 27.2Sc, with the general market closing

 months showed net advances of 60 to 15 points before the initial call. while the new crop was about 15 to 30 points net higher. This advance
 met a renewal of old long liquida- tion which was particularly active
 in the case of July contracts, and the volume of which seemed a very distinct disappointment to recent buyers for rally. As joint sell
 ing became more general and active | for time the market was very
 weak and unsettled, July selling off from 26.S5c to 26.12c and October | from 24.20c to 23.SSc, with the active
 months showing net losses of to 13
 points. Offerings became decidedly l lighter around these figures. how

July sold up to 1 2695c and October to 24.55c. making net advances of 53 to 75 points on the active months. and the close was | only a few points off from the best

It Is common mistake for COM

prohibition an issue between the major

Throughout our broad and generous
land
The people that we meet
Find things they fail to understand
About the price OF wheat.

Are almost moved to weep,
They say they'll have to start feud
Because it is too cheap.
When city chaps proceed to buy
Their bread, they say in fec,

If il remains so DEAR
The man behind the plow doth roar

Brings up the same old argument
About the price OF wheat.

at has not yet been experimental with

Mind and Body Clinic.

An experiment in healing has been
undertaken by New York church,
the Episcopal Church of ST. Mark sin
the-Bouwerie, which will probably be
watched with wide interest. Briefly, II
has been described as "a body and soul
clinic to be administered by clergymen
and physicians" 1t is said that the
church will be "a center for mental,
physical, social and spiritual healing;
that the work lis to be wholly in
charge of medical men," and that "the
ministers will work under the guild.

TO the plan, the mental and physical
treatment Of the patient will be in the
hands of the physician, and "his spir.

minister" 1t may be highly impor.

make their cures and their allevia

their failures, but they are making
progress. The world is full Of stories
of cures made by other than what we
generally call physical means. There
Is a mass of testimony that this is the
case. but in large part the testimony

tient believes that he has been cured
it may be that at least he has been
benefited, although, Of course, on the
other hand, he may by reason Of his
belief fail to call to his aid those
measures OF physical science which
might save him. Among most men
there seems to be great deal of
mystery about the matter.
Among the most ethical medical
men are those who attach importan
to psychology, and particularly to the
psychology Of the patient" There
are physicians who deal in what they
call "psycho-analysis,' and they have
reported that patients suffering from
obsessions or from insomnia. nervous
breakdowns and other troublesome
things have been cured not by the
usual sedatives. but by getting the dis
turbing thought out Of the mind.
The word ''psychotherapy" has
found lodgment in the medical prac-
titioner's vocabulary. One of the
churchmen engaged in the experiment
is quoted as saying: THE real cause
of nervousness in about 95 per cent of
the cases is due to the mind. and the
cause being psychic, psychic treat
hent is demanded" That means that
the patients doubts and fears may
be removed by reasoning and explana-
ton. 1t Is interesting to many persons
that a body Of eminent physicians and
eminent clergymen and others who be-
lieve in psychotherapy have got to-
gether for the operation of clinic in
good faith.

A Horrible Example.

In an article in the New York Medi-
cal Journal writer seeks to show by
statistics Of hospital and asylum ad-
missions that prohibition has failed, in
asmuch as since it was enacted there
has been heavy increase in the num-
ber Of cases of drunkenness and Of al
coholic insanity and poisoning. The
figures he cites are assuredly in sup.
port Of this contention. But it is note.
worthy that DIR. Hubbard confines
himself to a survey OF metropolitan
conditions, which are not a trust
worthy index Of the national situation.
Indeed, it may be that the very excess
Of alcoholic misfortune in the New
York area is q sign by reverse of a
different condition in the country at
large.
A survey OF the hospitals, courts
and asylums throughout the United
States would probably show another
picture than that which DIR. Hubbard
has painted. While there are wet

The Handbook Decision.

Handbook makers should not take
encouragement from the result in the
case in which Justice Bailey Of the
District Supreme Court held that the
failure of the superintendent of police
personally TO serve search warrant
at raid invalidated the seizure by the
police Of gambling paraphernalia and
marked money. A technical error in
the making out Of the search warrant
forms the ground for the Justices de-
cision, and in the issue Of future war
rants no such error will be made. It
warrants conform to the courts rul-
ing is that they shall contain the
names of the detectives or police ac-
tually making the raid instead OF the
name Of the superintendent of police.
The district attorney is reported as
saying that there will be no let-down
in the efforts Of his office toward the
prosecution Of handbook makers, and
1t is certain that the police will con-
tinue their activities against this form
of vice. Commissioner oyster, who,
besides being a high official, is a man
of the people and man Of the world,
is quoted as saying that THE making
OF handbooks is violation of law, and
we propose to do all We can to enforce
the law"
There are a number OF local detec-
tives and police who are especially apt
in the work of keeping down the evil
veteran or chronic handbook makers,
and it does not take them long to get
a line on a new adventurer in that
field. The main difficulty is in catch
ing the bookmaker with the goods
and in securing the evidence on which
a case will stand in court. The police
department can be relied on to do all
that is possible to purge the city Of
men who disregard for their own
profit law whose enactment was de-
manded by nearly all the people and
is supported by practically the whole
body of citizens.
Bookmakers have been banished
from the race track in many states,
and the man who makes a book" on
distant races should be driven out Of
his occupation. His activities are in
furious to the public. He preys on the
credulous who hope to win money at
an unbeatable" game. The sure win
ner is the handbook maker. and the
sure loser is the man who plays the
other fellows game.
1t is not easy to protect those men
of weak minds and weak morals who
have the habit Of placing bets" with
handbook makers on distant races, and
who, nearly as much behind in the
game as the total of their bets. are
always hoping to break even or make
a killing in some race where the odds
are high against the winner. But by
putting handbook makers out of bust
ness these men may be protected
against themselves, and it may be pos
sible to keep the temptation of making
fool bets on horse races from being
presented to men who have not al
ready formed the habit. Washington
should be made an unsafe place for
handbook men.

The Wobblies Are Wobbling.

The "W Wobblies,' that is, the Indus
trial Workers" Of the World, are
more wobbly than ever. The other
day it was announced that they We're
going to mobilize and concentrate on
Port Arthur, Tex, to punish that
town for the 'illegal arrest" OF men,
bers Of the order. to punish IL, that is
to say, by choking its Jail and feeding
at its expense. Then 1t was announced
Immediately afterward from Texas
that the invasion was off, and that
instead a general strike of marine
workers would take place. Next came
statement from New Orleans deny
ing this Texas statement. and saying
that "footloose" members of the or
ganization were mastering in that city
Arthur. And when that report was
made public in New York city the Sec
retary Of the Marine Transport Work
ers, an I. w. w. auxiliary, said that
the invasion was, in fact. Cancelled
giving the rather cryptic reason that
"the movement of the members would
cripple shipping, lumber and oil indus
tries" This Is the first intimation that
the /. W. w. has ever sought to keep
any industry going. except the indus
try Of feeding at the public expense.
1t would seem that there is need of
clearing house in the wobbly organiza
ton. But there is ground for public
qualification i'll this demonstration of
mixed councils and crossed wires. 1t
is characteristic of radicalism that
participants and leaders in these move
ments are never able to agree on de-
tails.
