COTTON |i
YORK, April*?.—The cottor '
market opened easy today at a de
cline of 31 to 44 points under realiz
ing and selling for a. reaction which
was promted by easier Liverpool
cables and reports ot better weather
in the south. The advances of last
week had evidently left futures in
an easy technical position and pi ices
vileded readily to the early offerings,
with May declining to 29.80 and Oc
tober to 25.1(b or about 45 to .>0
points net lower on Hie active posi
tions. .
Liverpool cables reported a quiet
market with prices ’ lower under
liquidation due partly to the ad
vance in sterling exchange, but sal I
there was continued .good spot de
mand. The weather may showed no j
rainfall in the south and rising tem !
perat.utes were reported. j
Tim selling continued during the
first hour, sending the market off to '
29.63 for May and 25.00 for October, i
or about 58
Offerings tapered off on this re
action amounting to 85 to 11 •> point
from Saturday’s high levels, and
there were rallies of 15 to 2.> points
from the lowest on renewed cover
ing. Fresh buying appeared to be
checked by the better weather news,
however, and the market was com- j
parativelv quiet around 29.88 for i
May and 25.20 for October at mid
day. . !
The midday rallies met a renewal ,
of liquidation and the market was |
weak during the middle of the after- |
noon under Wall street, local and
New Orleans selling. May broke to
29.38 and October to 24.90 around -
o'clock .making net declines of'7o to j
101 points.

NEW ORLEANSCOTTON
NEW ORLEANS, April 7.—The
cotton market opened lower owing
to Liverpool proving lower than due
and to generally fair weather shown
by the map over Sunday. r list
trades showed losses of 39 to :
points from Saturdays close 1 ri< e>
continued to ease otf alter the s-ii
under more or less selling ptesuie
until Muy traded at 30.04 and July
at ‘’S.-IS or 60 points down on both
months fro mthe previous close. Oc
tober traded as low aS 24.40 oi a-.,
points down.
The market continued reactionary
during the entire morning, selling
being based on the good weather
and official forecast for continued
fair conditions with rising tempera
tures. The weekly dry goods reports
also were disappointing and the de
lay in the issuance of the Dawes
report was also a bearish influence.
May traded down to 29.72. July to
28.18 and October to 24.30, Os 92, I
90. and 63 points, respectively, below
the close of Saturday. By noon the |
market had rallied about ten points
from the low.
The market continued to ease oil
during the afternoon, mainly on sell
ing by disappointed longs, who
bought on the recent, upturn. Ihete
was also rather heavy selling ol
July reported by a leading New York
operator. The weakness was main!.'
in old crop months. May traded
down to 29.52 and July to 28.02, or
112 and 106 points, respectively, be
low the close of Saturday. New
crop months decline*! 63 to 7.> points.
At the lowest, for Mav .so far that
month has lost 162 points from the
high level established at the end of
last week.

WILSON RESPECTED JUDGMENT
OF CABINET MEMBERS ONLY
IN AFFAIRS OF DEPARTMENTS
Clash of Opinions When Out
side Affairs Were Discuss
ed Led to New System in
White House
BY DAVID I.WVKEXI E
(Copyright, 1921, by the George H.
Doran ('onipani in Die I uiietl Sialt",
Cunatla, South America. World publica
tion right, reserved by- Current News
Fea I tires, 1 ncorporated.)
CHAPTER. XVIII
MR. AV 1 1,SON’S occasional im-j
patience with his cabinet I
was not due to any lack of i
confidence in their respective jtitlg-j
inents. Ua accepted advice whole-,
heartedly on questions arising' in;
their own departments but there |
wefe not more than two or three'
men in the cabinet whose opinions
he valued on problems outside oft
those departments. It is unfortu-'
nately characteristic of the Araeri-i
can system of government that cabi-j
net officers become absorbed in the
details of their own departments
and have neither the time nor the i
inclination to analyze other ques-j
tions. Men like Eranklin K. i
secretary of the interior, however, i
who always studied the ebb and How
of the public opinion, brought to the
cabinet table well defined opinions on
questions relating to Mexico and for
eign affairs. There were others who
did likewise, but Mb. Wilson realized
as he listened to Ihe cabinet discus
sion that none but the secretary of’
state and himself was as familiar
with the details of a foreign question,
b’or this reas >n Mr. Wilson fell into
the habit of deciding many question
of foreign policy in conference with
ihe secretary of state alone. He fol
lowed the same plan with the heads
of other departments. Frequently
after a general cabinet discussion he
would have a series of engagements
with individual cabinet members in
which more important subject were'
discussed than at the cabinet meet
ing itself.
Cabinet Advisory Board
The president would occasionally
bring to the cabinet meeting a dip- '
loniatic note to a foreign government
and ask for opinions but he did not ■
enjoy the procedure. Too often hair
splitting’ arguments resulted and the
clash of opinions left him in a quan
dary and made him wish that he had
not broached the subject at all. On ,
political questions he would some
limes ask the opinion of the mem
bers of the cabinet because he
thought their contacts and experi-;
ences in public life would enable
them at least to express individual i
viewpoints.
The cabinet did very little legislat-'
ing. It was an advisory council, not i
a board of directors. Mr. Wilson was j
quick to sense the general opinion
at the table and tactfully terminated
the discussions when he thought they
had gone far enough to bring out
the views of all.
Taken as a whole Mr. Wilson
never shared the feeling of some
critics that his cabinet was a weak
one. He conceded its inexperience.
The Democratic party had not been
in power for sixteen years and there
fore had no opportunity to develop;
cabinet timber. Mr. Wilson had in
fact to reconstruct the Democratic i
party. He realized in later days that I
some of his cabinet selections might
have been better lint as a historian
lie knew that cabinets were never
perfect and tnat his advisers were
the best that a combination of poli
tics and personal trust could bring
together. For after all what counted
more with Woodrow Wilson than
anything else was personal loyalty.
And in almost ail cases that meant |
a mind which might suggest differ
ences but which, in the last analysis, i
would go along enthusiastically;
with his.
Changes in the Wilson cabinet ;
during eight years of the Democratic I
administration were relatively few
in number. When Mr. Mcßeynolds
was elevated to the supreme court of j
the I nited States, Colonel House was
instrumental in the selection of
Thomas AV. Gregory, of Texas, as
attorney general to succeed him. t
Mr. Palmer, who had been offered
the secretaryship of war in 1913, but i
who declined it because of his quaker
convictions against war. had not felt ;
tnat he was properly recognizeo >
Air. Wilson was aware ot this feel- ■
ing- and endeavored to correct it liy ’
;ippointin’g Mr. Palmer to be alien j
property custodian in 1917, and later |
attorney general when Mr. Gregory
resigned.
Break With Garrison
Mr. Wilson was convinced that the
secretary of war ought to be a law
yer and this was one of the reasons
why he asked Mr. Palmer to take
the post. When Mr. Palmer declined,*
Mr. Wilson turned in perplexity to 1
liis private secretary, Mr. Tumulty,
who recommended A'ice Chancellor;
Lindley M. Garrison, of New Jersey.
Mr. Garrison’s reputation on the;
bench was such as to assure an abso- j
lately clean administration of the (
war department with its many judi
cial questions, for during peace
times there are various building
projects under the supervision of the
war department and other adpiinis-1
trativc tasks in which a legal mind |
is of inestimable value. And when,
Mr. Garrison resigned, the president
chose another lawyer. Newton D.'
Baker, to become secretary of war.
Mr. Garrison did not have a polit-
I ical mind. His experience on the

bench had made him inflexible and
logical. His deliberate opinion that
a president should back up the rec
ommendations of a cabinet officer
led to the subsequent break between
tlie two men. Mr. Wilson was in
accord with Mr. Garrison’s recom
mendation as to the formation of a
citizen army but when Air. Garrison
encountered the opposition of Air.
Hay, the chairman of the house com
mittee on military affairs, the pres
ident felt that he should not make
an issue as between a member of his
cabinet and the men on Capitol Hill
whose support was so essential to
the passage of any kind of a program
of national defense. Air. Garrison
held to the notion so prevalent in Eu
rope that when a cabinet officer
does not command tlie support of the
executive he should resign. It was
a simple deffercnce of opinion and
one which but for practical politics
would never have occurred, for while
the temperaments of the two men
were opposed they had a great deal
of respect for each other. Air. Gar
rison was a man of dominating per
sonality and it would have been in
teresting to see him at the head of
the war department in the days of
the great war which came after his
resignation.
The appointment of Robert Dan
sing’ to succeed Williams Jennings
Bryan as secretary of state was
natural because Air. Dansing, as
counsellor, had prepared many mem
oranda which had been useful to
Mr. AVilson in writing- the notes to
Germany and the allied governments
on questions of neutrality. Un
doubtedly Mr. Dansing is a great
international lawyer and Air. Wilson
recognized his ability, but the presi
dent became obsessed with the idea
that Mr. Dansing was too fond of
precedents and convention and that
he was not elastic on questions of
policy. Air. I.a using’s difficulties
with Air. Wilson were to a large
extent the same kind that John Bas
sett Moore had* with William Jen
nings Br.yan. The legal mind came
in conflict witli the political mind.
Policy in foreign affairs can not
always be developed by the same
empiricism or intuition that charac
terizes decisions on domestic ques
tions, particularly party politics. In
ternational relations, especially to
the minds which have been trained
to think in tefms of sovereign power
and tradition, are not as easily re
solved by the rules of expediency as
are so many domestic questions.
Lansing Resigns
When Mr. Lansing resigned. Pres
ident Wilson was in ill heajth and
unable to give as much time and
thought to the selection of a secre
tary of state as he would have given
in earlier days. His first impulse
was to transfer Newton D. Baker
from the portfolio of secretary of
war and have Bainbridge Colby suc
ceed Mr. Baker. The friends ot
Frank L. Polk, undersecretary of
state, were active in his behalf and
it looked for a time as if Air. AVilson
might promote Air. Polk and make
no change in the war department,
had been affiliated with the Pro
gressive Republican party and had
Mr. Colby was not a Democrat but
made the speech nominating Theo
dore Roosevelt in the Bull Aloose

In Battle of Klansmen
Against Pennsylvanians
LILY. Pa., April 6—ln a. battle
here Saturday bet ween townsfolk and
members of t lie Ku Kltix Klan, two
men were shot to death and thirteen
wounded.
The klansmen, in full regalia, and
500 strong, held a meeting on a 4iill
overlooking - the town. After the
ceremony the members of the organL
zation marched towards the railroad
station.
A crowd of more than 1.900 per- |
sons had gathered at the station to
see the unusual sight.
Without warning a revolver shot
was fired and the battle between the
two factions started, according to
reports made to police who were
unable to cope with the situation.
The revolver fight raged until the
•klansmen fought their way to a
waiting train.
Authorities learned that some one
had turned a hose on the klansmen
as they marched to the station and
this led to the firing of tlie first
shot. The injured some in a criti
cal condition, were taken to tlie of
fice of Dr. Geise.
convention of 1912. Air. Wilson cher
ished the hope that the nomination ,
• of Air. Colby to the cabinet would |
I bring to his support the liberals
and progressives! who had been in
clined to stray from him in his last
ad ministration.
An undercurrent of gossip to the
effect that Secretary Baker had con
curred in the view of Secretary Lan
sing with respect to tlie supposed dis
qualification of President AVilson to
continue in office because of his
physical disability in 1919 was
brought to Mr. Wilson’s attention
when he considered, the possible ap- ■
pointment of Newton D. Baker as
secretary of state. Here again Mr.
Wilson applied the acid test of loy
alty and asked his advisers whether
there was + ruth in the current rep orts
concerning Air. Baker's supposed
I disaffection. President Wilson was;
; assured to the contrary but for ;
reasons best known to himself he I
; did not transfer Air. Baker to head i
: the department of state. .TTis admi-i
! ration for Newton D. Baker was by
| no means diminished, in fact their
j warm friendship continued long after
i Air. AVilson left the White House.
