As between Dick Russell and

of the people.
But Joe Brown entered and

may never see the state-wide law
again. You can’t be certain
that it is for the repeal of the
state-wide law, for after that
election the law may be still left
standing.
When you vote for Joe Brown,
you are not voting to settle any
thing—you are voting merely for
the privilege of voting again to
settle a thing that you can settle
now.
Voting for him is like "buying
a contested claim—a clouded ti

Shall he then be given the gov

a fight between prohibitronists
and anti-prohibitionists—a fight
that wouldn’t bo necessary ex

Shall he himself fight not at

A vote for Dick Russell is a
vote for the return of the open

A vote for Pope Brown is n
voto for peace politically and
prosperity materially.
BUT WHAT IS A VOTE FOR
JOE BROWN?
Pope Brown for Governor.
A vote for Dick Russell is a
vote for whisky; a vote for Pope
Brown is a voto for 'prohibition.
So much is certain.
But what is a vote for Joe
Brown?
Is there any certainty about
that! When you vote for Joe
Brown, aro you voting for whis
ky, beer, or water, or a mean
ingless mixture of all three!
Came Dick Russell saying;
‘Repeal the state-wide law! It’s
t farce.” • Came Pope Brown
saying: “Let the law stand. It
has conserved the peace and
good order of the state in the
past. Let’s protect it now,”
There it was, all in common
sense and good conscience it
could be—THE QUESTION OF
THE STATE-WIDE LAW OR
NOT SUBMITTED TO THE
VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.
THIS WEEK IN COTTON
By JOSEPH B. LIVELY
Cotton Bold at the low level of the season during the past week. Prices
have not been so low since 1908, following the panic of 1907. Scarcity of
money caused the low prices of 1907, The factor making for the 1911 low
prices Is apparent over-abundance of cotton.
The crop this year will be a notable one In three Respects—Its size, easi
ness and Its rapid marketing. Of course Its size Is not yet known, and the
latter two Items may have led many astray in estimating it.
The government ginning report will be Issued Friday, December 8, giv
ing the number of bales ginned to December 1. It Is said this report will
sholv 18,000,000 bales for the first three months of the season.. These fig
ures have been exceeded three times as the crop for the entire season, and
the figures Friday, if they are 13,000,000 bales, will Insure a banner yield.
Estimators have been very busy since the publication of ginning fig
ures as of' November 14. Taking these figures as a basis and adding some--
where In the neighborhood of 2,000,000 bales, expected to be shown , by the
next report, some large estimates have been dumped on the market for
speculative purposes.
The New York Evening Post, In reference to excessive crop estimates,
says: • ^ ,
“The average estimate of 183 members 6t the New York Cotton ex
change In guessing the size of the crop was announced this morning. These
guesses range all the way from 14,000.000 to 17,500,000 bales, with the aver
age figuring out 15,238,000 bales. This Is pretty good evidence of the ten
dency of the trade to grossly over-estimate the crop, and it also reflects the
extreme of bearish sentiment. How* any sane man can figure out a'crop of
3 7,000,000 to 17,600,000 bales from the acreage planted and the average con
dition at the close of the season, and the comparison with previous years, is
beyond the writer's comprehension, after an experience of over twenty years.
“A crop of 17,000,000 balea Is Impossible of realization, as It would mean
the production of nearly one-half b^Io per acre throughout the belt, after
making allowance for the usual percentage of abandoned area from the 35,-
000,000 acres estimated by the agricultural bureau at Washington to have
been planted.
"It Is a fact that the oldest and most experienced cotton merchants In
the trade do not think the crop can turn out over 15,000,000 bales, and they
do not believe within 1,000,000 bales of that' amount will actually be mar
keted. They look to the government’s crop estimate of December 11 and tl\e
future ginning reports to confirm Information tending to these convictions,
and they rogard crop estimates of 17,000,000 bales not only foolish, but ex
tremely detrimental to the trade. It Is, therefore, clearly apparent that the
extreme of crop estimates has now been.seen, and perhaps these views will
luivt* to If inoriifipil wh«*n the n«-xt ginning report of the census bureau comes
out on December 8, and the government’s crop estimate on December 11.”
During the week all positions, except October in the next crop, have sold
well under the 9-cent level, with the closo at the low levels of the week and
season and 32 to 40 under closing quotations of the previous week. ;

The following Is from the Sioux City
(Iowa) Tribune:
Democratic politics Is assuming the
aspect of “anything to beat Wood-
row Wilson.” Eight months in advance
of the national convention it Is evident
that every artifice known to politics will

agents in the Democratic party to pre
vent the nomination of the progres

tho tactics which will be used to ac
complish this result have been dis

It Is the ancient “favorite son" game.
Local and sectional pride are to be ap
pealed to In an effort to elect delegates
who can be handled for a reactionary
candidate In the national convention,
In any contest where men are elected
for a “favorite son" as against Wilson,
tho very fact that they have lent them
selves to an antlrWilson movement will
be a guaranty that they can. be voted
aa desired by those who would foist
on the party some other candidate satis
factory to Wall Street.
Big business is vitally interested In
the selection of the Democratic nominee
because of the general belief that Pres
ident Taft, even If renominated, can not
be re-elected. The New York Sun,
faithful mirror of Wall Street's views,
.shows that It is under no delusion hn
to his failure on his present trip to
win back the lost confidence of the
Republican rank and file.
The possibility, therefore, that
Democrat will be elected, renders It cer
tain that privilege Interests, which are
fighting for life, will resort to every
known means to control the Democrat
ic nomination. Governor Wilson, of all
Democratic possibilities. Is the on$ man
whom they wish to keep out of tin-

nomination, It will be because public
sentiment shall be able tp force his

When winter winds are raging fierce, with snowdrifts in
their track, it’s mighty nice to have a tierce of boodle in the
shack. Then one can sit before the fira in peace and joy, gad-
zooka, and knock some mnsic from his lyre,
or read" detective books. The howling of the
bughouse storm, that gets the poor man’s
BUNDLE goat, but makes his cottage seem more warm,-
from trouble more remote. He sees the snowy
giwts careen outside his cheerful hut. and comfortable and se
rene reflections fill his nut. He salted down a plunk or two
whene'er he drew liis pay, and now it doesn’t make him blue
when comes a stormy day. Across the street there lives a
skate who never saves a red, and when bad weather fills a date,
his children howl for bread. A poor, dejected, sad-eyed drove,
their misery’s intense; they shiver round an empty stove, and
wish their pa had sense. It matters not how poor or fine may
be the toiler’s pay, he ought to put some down in brine, to
neet the stormy day.

The size of the pupil is an important aid
to diagnosis.
Thus, if a person Is found In a profound
stupor and poisoning is suspected, the size
of the pupil may lead to Identification of
the poison used; and in this way aid In
saving life . by enabling the doctor to
choose the appropriate antidote. If the
pupils are found to be extremely small
the stupor Is probably duo to morphine
or opium In some form. If, on the other
hand, a person is found in convulsions or
a highly stimulated state with the pupils
widely dilated, belladonna or Its constit
uent, atrophln. may be to blame. These
drugs have a remarkable power of en
larging the pupil If taken internally or if
put Into the eye...
The pupil Itself is merely a round open
Ing in the front of the eyeball to enable
rays of light to reach the retina, which is
the expanded end of the optic nerve at
the back of the globe of tne eye. The
pupil Is surrounded by a circular muscu
lar structure called the Iris. It Is this
structure which Is variously colored ac
cording to whether the individual’s eyes
aro brown, blue or •gray. This Is tho
structure which also becomes inflamed In
the di-vase known as Iritis. Certain drugs,
such as belladonna, seem to paralyze the
circular fibers In the iris without affecting
the radiating fibers, thus causing the pu
pils to expand. Certain other drugs act
contrawi.se, stimulating tlie circular fibers
so that they contract and decrease the
pupillary opening.

this is the reason I advise you to let
the other fellow do your advertising.
The manufacturers are spending mil
lions and millions of dollars every year
all over this country advertising tin-
goods they make. Let the small dealer
stock up on merchandise for which tin-
manufacturers have already created a
demand by heavy genera! advertising,
and he can to a large extent overcome
the handicap of having no advertising
of his own In the dally papers.
’’No store of any sort can afford to stock utv on goods that nobody
asks for and which it requires a persistent effort to sell. Of course, all
stores want to sell all the merchandise they can, and they have many man
ufacturers pressing goods on them all the time, nnd It Is possible that the
novelty of these goods may make them sell; but the wisp man In the small
store buys these now articles in the smallest possible quantities until the
demand has been created and makes |i| s big stock and big orders on tho
goods for which advertising has already created a steady demand. %
"Let Ufit small merchant remember that In this day and time it Is up 1
to tho manufacturer to assume the burden cf the introduction of any
now article. Give hinl all the room he wants for his demonstrators, his win
dow displays, his advertising hangers and novelties, but be chary of putting
his goods in stock until by vigorous advertising he has created the demand
for them. *.
"‘A story of one family Is fiild where the mother gave her children a
penny each time o»e of them took n dose of castor oil without crying, and
then appealing to their business Instinct, she had them hoard up the
pennies to be used in buying castor oil so that they might earn yet more
pennies. Put this same proposition up to the manufacturer and let him
know you will buy in small quantities and save , the profits to buy the
larger quantities later.

"No business Institution can live without' advertising of one sort or an
other, and this Is the cheapest advertising any smdll merchant can get. ’Tis
true that the good store to some extent is advertised by its satisfied cus
tomers. but the chances of satisfying them are better where a well-adver
tised article Is sold. When you see some big manufacturer starting a na
