Some Sence

"Yon cannot build character by
Jaw; you cannot make men good by
law. You cannot commend respect
for law that can only be enforced
by brutal mercenaries with sawed-off
shotguns. A law in a republic that
can only be enacted by force is in
variably a bad law. The Volstead
law is a fair specimen. We are a
Christian nation. There is no ele-
ment Of force in the Christian creed.
Christ commanded his loyal disciples
to go into the world and preach His
gospel to every creature, but He never
at any time commanded His discip-
les to shoot the gospel into every Gre
ature." = Representative Isaac R..
Sherwood in a speech on Prohibition.
''The miners life does not consist
wholly in attending conferences, re-
ceiving wage increases and riding
about in limousines and so on. He
goes down into the depths of the
earth and works in the midst of great
danger, and feel that every possible
safeguard should be thrown around
the work of those men who risk their
lives in this hazardous undertaking.
Representative J. Alfred Taylor in
speech advocating government in
vestigation of mine disasters.
'If l have read the history of my
country Alright, and if I am familiar
with the fundamental principles upon
which our institutions are based, l as
sert it is not only the duty of the
government to protect its citizens in
the enjoyment of their political rights,
but at the same time it should pre-
vent any favored class from preying
upon another class less able to pro-
tect itself. - l assert that to
grant unequal privilege is fundamen-
tally wrong, socially unjust, politi-
cally inexpedient, officially indefensi-
BILE and subversive of the doctrine of
equal opportunity" = Representative
Ralph F. Lozier, in discussing propo-
sails for farmer relief.

lists, Is chairman Of the conference,
and Arthur E. Holder is the executive
secretary, with headquarters in the
Machinists' building in Washington, D.
G. Both agree that the st. Louis
conference marked a substantial ad-
vance in the progressive political
movement of the nation.
Plans were formulated for the &C
tive participation in the primaries and
general elections this year, centering
on largely the presidency and men,
bers of Congress. The conference de-
cided to support candidates in either
of the two old parties who measure
up to the standards and platform of
principles adopted by the conference.
The C. P. P. A. is a voluntary nom
partisan organization, and as such is
proving effective in shaking loose the
partisan political collars and shack
les of the great mass of people.
Live Issues Discussed

Other topics discussed were the
coal problem, rational control of prop
uganda, radio service, farm credit sys-
tenn, banking, leasing of national oil
reserves, etc.
Chairman Johnston said that there
is increasing evidence of a greater
determination on the part of the
producers to take a more militant
stand in political affairs, and CORE
spondence received from all parts OF
the country show that the farmer and

wage scales revolve.
The conventions action means that
President Lewis and the scale COM
mittee have a free hand to negotiate
the best rate possible, subject to ap-
proval by the membership. The COM

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, oct s.--A report indi- eating prospects of a crop of 12,4o9, 900 bales caused a sharp break In the mar ket today, principally because the re- port failed to show the deterioration which had been expected in the Att Iantic states and which 1t was thought would more than offset auy improve ment in the western belt. It Is inter- esting to note in this respect that the total decline given by the government for Georgia, North and South Caro- line amounts to only 196,000 bales as compared with their estimate in the middle of September. In face of this, however, the supplementary cotton re- port issued by the government is of an extremely unfavorable character. They state that in the latter half of Septem- Der in the Atlantic states, excessive rains oh hecked the opening of bolls, caus- ing rotting and sprouting of seed. Lint was lost by beating rains. Some bolls considered safe in the middle of Septem- Der were later found to be in bad con dition in North Carolina and some Of the worst conditions are found where the previous dry weather prevented the weevil from doing much damage in this area. A few of the bolls had opened and in their green state, the long wet period was very favorable to weevil damage. Continued rains in Georgia damaged many of the open and cracked bolls and water soaked even bolls that were otherwise sound. The cloudy, rainy weather from Virginia to Georgia resulted in greatly increasing weevii activity. Weevil punctures made an ideal place for rot to begin. In the southern twO-thirds of Georgia, weevil became numerous and have punctured many bolIs since practically no squares were forming for them to feed on. As to Texas, benefits from the rains were in stopping premature opening and help ing late bolls on late cotton to mature. Many localities reported the advent oE the weevil in large numbers since the rain began and have little hope of late crop. The weevil had begin its work in Oklahoma before September 16, but general damage has only recently be- come apparent. However, the crop Is already made and most of 1t is safe from frost. The top crop will be light. Nevertheless, in spite of this statement, the falling off In the yield is compara-
 lively light and naturally has revised

SUNSHINE AIDS
 COTTON CROP
 DURING WEEK
Conditions In Eastern Portion Of Belt Report
 ed Very Favorable
tRx Associated Press.,

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-Crop and weather conditions in southern states during the week ending yesterday. were summarized today by the department of agriculture as follows:
 The week was favorable for cotton in the southern states, except for the cool wave the first part. The cessation Of rain with abundant sunshine following the heavy and damaging rains of last portion of the belt, where the general outlook was improved. There was very little rainfall in any of the cotton dis- tricts and picking and ginning made good progress in all sections.
 There was little change In the con- dition and progress of cotton In Texas, where the early crop Is mostly picked and the late continued to make fair to very good advance and Is maturing normally. Bolls opened rapidly in most sections of Oklahoma with practically very slowly in northern Arkansas, but picking has been completed in many localities of the south and is progress ing rapidly in the central portion. Some bolls are still opening In northern Louisiana, but harvest has been about completed in the south and is also near Ing completion in the southern third of Mississippi and in southern Alabama.
 Improves Slightly
 Some slight improvement in cotton was noted in Tennessee and the bolls were again opening rapidly in Georgia as a result of the improved weather, though there was still some sprouting. Shedding, boil rotting and sprouting have unfavorably affected the crop in South Carolina. but cotton Is again opening rapidly and while the wealth CT was more favorable in North Caro- lima the long rainy spell and increased weevil activities have been very dam aging, especially in the north, where the outlook heretofore has been favor able.
 good progress except in sections of the belt where the soil was too dry, prin- cipally In weAern Oklahoma. There was some frost damage reported to late corn in soutaern Kentucky, but it was not generally heavy.
 Truck Crops Gain
 Truck and minor crops show isaprove- ment in the southeastern states, but rain Is needed in the central and west ern gulf section. Sugar cane Is gener- ally very small and backward in the Central Gulf area because of unfavor- able weather. Improvement in the to- bacco crop still standing Was noted in Tennessee.
 Condition by states include:
 Alabama-Light scattered showers, temperatures cool first part, warm lat ter, favorable for farm work. Condition of corn, pastures, truck and minor crops mostly poor to fair: some im- provement where showers occurred. Corn and sweet potato harvest pro- gressing fairy well, Cotton generally opening rapidly in north, condition mostly poor to only fair, picking made progress and finished in many sections of south, well advanced in central.
 Misslssippi-Cool Wednesday with light frost in north and central, warm latter part, rains light, very good prog gress in picking and ginning of cotton generally nearing completion in south- ern third. Progress in gathering corn fair.

have nearly reached the $500,000,000 mark and stock issues have amounted to almost s4Oo. 900 while short term obligations have not come up to s1oo,- 000, ,000. Lower costs and the easy money situation have partly brought this development about. Nevertheless, such remarkable reversal In the trend of utility financing betokens Q high degree of confidence In the future ability of public utilities to expand and earn good profits for investors A re- flection of this confidence has been seen in the rising value of utility se- curities in the stock market.
 Further indication of the favorable attitude toward public utilities can be found, in a comparison between all cor porate and utility flotations.

 1924 to date has been the note. worthy expansion in public utility op- erations combined with e rapidly grow ing sentiment that this class of se- curities has possibilities as yet un- measured.
 Convincing evidence of drastic change in the public utility situation is to be found in the new corporate is- sues for the first eight months of this year compared with the similar period of recent years. During the grip of the last imitation period, utility companies had difficulty in earning reasonable profits because operation costs mounted while charges for service were neces- sarily more or less fixed. Consequent- ly, flotations of large stock or long term bond Issues were almost impos- sible to make.
 Witness 1920. In the first eight months, short term bond issues were greater In total volume than either term fotations of bonds or stock Ia. sues. This year long term bond Issues
