SPOT COTTON MARKET,
By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
Washington, Fob. 8c—The Federal In
corporation bill, sponsored by the nd
ministration, hns two very remark
able feature* which ought to insure It*
passage by congress, as its success
would satisfy the country. Reading and
hearing the comments upon It from
both press and people, two expressions
generalize and dominate public opin
ion.
First. It Is one of the most radical
measures of popular reform yet pre
sented by the admlnlatration, and,
Second. It Is satisfying to the busi
ness Interests, and meets the approval
of large minded publicists like James J.
Hill and others ns dealing fairly and
wisely between the people and the cor
porations.
The bill Is much stronger than the
tentative draft given to the public two
weeks ago. It has passed thru careful
supervision at the white house and In
congress, anil the attorney general,
with an open hand, has learned much
from the comment and criticism that
followed Its flrst discussion.
While the new measure protects the
corporations from much that may be
Irregular, demagogic and lacking In
uniformity In state legislation. It pro
vides on the other hand for rigid na
tional Inspection and regulation, and
for forfeiture of charter upon a viola
tion of the law.
The Infringement upon the doctrine
of state rights will doubtless evoke a
partisan Democratic opposition, but the
bill will surely allay commercial appre
hension without sutcritlcing popular
rights.
If the supreme court decides, as It Is
likely to do, against the tobacco trust
and the Rtandard OH. at An early day,
there might be a panic of apprehension
among the big corporations ns to what
might happen to them at the hands of
the government, but for the carefully
thought out provisions of this measure,
which provides the legal way of life
and protection for the corporations, and
for the people. Mr. Taft Is perhaps Il
lustrating a very discreet diplomacy In
professing no desire to press this meas
ure upon the Immediate attention of
congress. It Is not his urgency pro
gram. But this very statement Joined
to the striking features of the measure
will, In all probability, give It original
force and currency among the repre
sentatives of the people.
Meanwhile the president does hlm-
aelf proud h.v taking his place shoulder
to shoulder with Senator Klklus In his
demand for the fair unvarnished truth
about the tariff and the cost .»f living.
He Is not disposed to tolerate any effort
of the tariff barons to gloss over any
III effect* that may he discovered and
this position will give great weight to
the Investigation. There should he a
great old-fashioned debnte In the sen
ate over this Investigation. The tariff
is fairly on trial now before the Intel
ligence of the country upon the most
practical and vital Issue that has for
many years focused popular attention.
The tariff, as It affecta the bread and
butter of the people, should bring out
all fhar is best nm| strongest of elo
quence and logic on either side of the
chamber. The occasion at least should
bring back the earlier economic statea-
manshlp of the republic.
Lent begins Wednesday—Ash Wed
nesday.
For 40 days, ending with Easter Sun
day. this fast or period will be observed
by Catholics, Episcopalians and others
In appropriate devotional exercises
commemorative of the fast of the Sa
viour.

cially arranged programs for daily
services.
Bishop Nelson and Rev. C. R. Wllmer
III make addresses before the mid
day gatherings of b.usiness men and
others at the Central Young Men's
Christian association. Prominent lay
men will also conduct services later In
the period.
At the Sacred Heart church the sea
son will begin at the 6 o’elock mass
1th the blessing of the ashes which
will be distributed after each of the
masses later In the day. Services will
also be held at 6:30 o'clock. 7 o'clock
and 0 o’clock a. in. A special Lenten
service will begin at 8 p. m. Wednes
day, when Father Ounn will begin a
series of Lenten discourses. The morn
ing services will continue at these
hours, with evening services Wednes
days, Fridays and Sundays.
