DR. A D POINTS SENATOR DOSES ODT PERILS Of MILITANCY Policy Has Damagd Sueffrage Cause in England—No Excuse For It in United States. By DR. CHARLES AKED. SAX FRANCISCO, CAL., Sept. 11. Dispatcher from New York assert that Mrs. Pankhurst, has planned a visit to America, and that arrange ments are already made for meetings to be addressed by her in the great cities of the East and Middle West. It Is asserted, perhaps with little knowledge and lers judgment, that Mrs. Pankhurst's visit will be pro ductive of wide results in the adop tion of a policy of “militancy” by American women. It is to be hoped that these fore casts are wrong. "Militancy,” as now understood and practiced, has done untold harm in England; has shocked and gri/ed the best lriendr of woman suffrage among men. and has done apparently irreparable damage to women themselves. No Chance In America. Nothing in the world can Justify the action of the Pankhurst family and their followers. But they have been driven into their irrationality of crime by the more reasonless irra tionality and more criminal acts of the Asquith cabinet. In America, be tween the Pacific and the Atlantic, there is not the shadow of a pre tense that women are driven or are likely to be driven out of the path of orderly, sane and healthy methods of advocating a noble cause. I admired Mrs Pankhurst and I liked her daughter, Chrlstabel. I have opened my chuch to them in Liver pool. I have preached sermons and made speeches in defense of their militant methods. Women Driven to Crime. I mention these things for the pur pose of showing that mine is a sym- fsithetic protest and not a hostile one. They have been driven Into irra tionality and they have been driven into crime. And the guilt of the men who have so driven them is worse than theirs. The late Prime Minister of Great Britain, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner man. told them to pester the Govern ment. eH told them that his cabinet was divided, and he pdvised them to make x themselves an Irritant to politicians. They did, and they were treated with a brutality which passes all belief. This phise of the story has not been understood in America. Started by "Heckling.” It is the custom in England to >isk questions In political meetings. The process is known as “heckling.” ' ' cr ('rtmpbell-Bannerman’s advice, women began to attend public >Vgs. *nd they asked questions interruptions angered men - ■verc thrown out of the meet- - < l: . iolence; they were mauled kti .ards. »v continued to go to meetings 1 o interrupt. The violence grew 1 ilthv t .oundrels offered themselves as “stewards,” for the opportunity it gave them of committing indecent as saults upon women apd girls In the act of carrying them and bundling them put of meetings. Pastor Condemns Violence. The women were prosecuted; not the men. They were charged with all sorts of fancy offenses, such as as saulting policemen, etc. Had they paid the small fines imposed the world would have heard no more of it. But they refused to pay the fines, and they went to jail. Here they were treated as the worst of criminals are treated. Women of refinement, university women, girls among the sweetest and n\ost engaging of their sex, were forced to strip, stand in a line of women as nude as themselves, street walkers, pickpockets, thieves and criminals of every kind, waiting for their bath, and go into the same bath tub and the same water as these women had been in. Bring Reforms in Prison. The prison system has been changed since then, but it has been changed because of the suffragettes, and through the agitation of tnese women. Then they iesorted to violence. Here I part company from ihem. “Militancy” in England first meant a policy of “pestering.” recommended by Sir eHnry Campbell-Bannerman when the first minister or the Britisn crown. It involved suffering And 1 defended the women. But is there need In America for even such “mili tancy” as that? ilitancy” in Engla .d now means a r3;,n, train wrecking and murderous ass 1 alts. If it is suggested that the • omen of America should adopt it policy. I say that nothing can ex cuse ' -ic Irrationality of the sugge^- t on and nothing can palliate its c rime..

TRAINED ARMY RESERVES Chamberlain, of Oregon. Says Mexican Crisis Shows U. S. Is Unprepared for War. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—Senator George E. Chamberlain, of Oregon, chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, has come out flat- footcdly in favor of placing the army on a better war footing than is the case at present. “As long,” says Senator Chaitiber- lain, "as we maintain the Monroe Doctrine, retain the Philippines, con trol the Panama Canal, and dominate the Pacific, which is our manifest destiny, we must have an army ade quate to care for these conditions and meet emergencies. Trained Reserve His Plan. “No one advocates a large standing army in this country, but we ought to have as a military organization an arjny of efficient officers and drilled men which can be augmented by trained men from a reserve and sup plemented by the National Guard of the States “There rs been a great deal of general discussion as to the neces sity of better preparation for sudden war emergencies, and there seems to be quite a unanimous opinion that at the present time our army is wholly inadequate owing to the meth ods that have been employed. I am heartily in favor of such changes and improvements in the army as will meet existing conditions. Should Not Fear Japs. “We ought/ not to leave ourselves in an attitude where we fear the possibility of invasion by Japan on the Pacific coast or by any other for eign country on our Atlantic coast, nor in appreh -asion as to what might happen to our troops in case of inter, vention in Mexico because the army is inadequate for emergencies. “The present session of Congress has been occupied with matters whicn have taken all the time, so that little attention has been given to question.- of national defense until the acute situation in Mexico has brought home to us the unprepared state of this nation to face a sudden war. Experiments Prove Costly. “If there should not be a peaceful termination of the Mexican trouble temporary war measures and make shifts would have to be adopted, a* has been the case at the beginning of every other war in this country, all of which have been disastrous and expensive on account of their experi mental character. “At the regular session of Congress the subject of increasing military ef ficiency mus't be considered. The Secretary of War has taken a pro nounced position on the subject, and we will await his definite recommen dations with a great deal of Interest “I am not prepared now to say what should be done, tne plans and details must be worked out by men of experience and judgment, but it is plainly apparent that improve ments must be made and the army put in condition to meet the require ments of the nation. “In my opinion the National Guard should be very much strengthened and improved* A great many more regular army officers should be de tailed to give the officers instruction and secure better drill and discipline for the men. It would also be well to have a more strict medical exami nation of the enlisted men of the Na tional Guard, so that a larger per centage of trained men could go to the front in time of need." 2 Candidates Escape Paying Primary Fee No other candidates for the City Council are so fortunate as Coun cilman Orville H. Hall, of the Third Ward, and Councilman Claude C. Mason, of the Tenth. Their constit uents put up the $75 entrance fee for them. All other candidates had to dig down in their pockets. The full list of City Council can didates will be known at noon Fri day, when the primary entry list closes.

Sept. 11.—At the open- irg of the cotton market to-day there was a buying wave and find prices wore at a net advance of 7 to 13 points from Wednesday’s final. The buying came from the same interests which supported the list yesterday, which included some of the larger spot houses. Cables, while better than due, did not justify the upturn. Reports from Galveston re ported damage to the southwestern belt from heavy rains. This was partly re sponsible for the buying movement. After the list had increased its initial gain 1 to 3 points, an unexpected sell ing* wave developed, led by the ring, based on the uncertainty in Washing ton and a Liverpool cable stating that the situation at Manchester is getting worse and the general feeling is blue After the call the list was under profit-taking on the early bulge and prices suffered a decline of 8 to 13 points from the opening range, but Immediate ly rallied through active buying irom strong sources. The volume of trading was of a light character. New Orleans was reported a buyer in this market, while a certain firm with Memphis connection also bought. The feeling Is against the market, however, and lower prices are predicted. Spot sales in Liverpool, how ever. continue heavy, thereby leading a stable undertone to the market, which made the bear element hesitate to push their tactics far enough to cause any drastic decline. The former aggres siveness of the hulls was conspicuous by its absence. They seemed to have stepped aside for the movement prob ably with the end in view of allowing a short interest to accumulate and prices to sag to an attractive enough level, upon which they might replace their lines recently sold out. The present leg : slation in Washington is restricting trading to a great extent. Despite the report that spinners art becoming nervous and the he ief among bull forces that a further advance will bring them into the market, bears re newed their early attack on the mar ket. based on the fear of further hedge selling and private reports of beneficial rains in the western belt, resulting in a rapid deaJIne. which carried January as low as 12.75; October, 12.95, and De cember 12.86. The market received little or no support. Later the prices rallied a few points through short covering. At the close the market was steady, w’lth prices at a net decline of 5 to 8 points lower than the closing quotations of Wednesday, except September, which was 1 point off.

Operations of the Illinois Central Railroad Company during the fiscal year ended June 30 netted $3,108,665 more than in 1912, despite the flood which stopped all through truffle for nine days and necessitated heavy ex penditures. This is shown in the an nual report just issued. Because of the unusual conditions of the past two years, which have earned the “1. C.” the name in Wall street of the “hard luck road,” it has been found necessary to reduce the dividend rate. Stockholders now get 6 per cent, which was fully earned. Two years of flood and serious labor troubles were among the handicaps the “I. C.” combated. A new union station at Memphis, a new mechanical plant, the raising of grade near Cairo, Ill., to eliminate flood danger, and completion of a sec ond track from Ponchatoula, La., to New Orleans are # the principal physi cal improvements of the year. There wag expended for additions and bet terments $10,119,158. of which $4,- 90G.530 was for equipment. Operating revenues for the year were $64,280,903 and operating ex penses were $50,048,912, leaving a ner revenue from rail operations of $14,- 231,991. This is reduced by deficits from other operations, taxes and oth er expenses to $6,575,113 as against $3,466,448 in 1912.

With warm summer temperatures in Texas, the present rainfall is un doubtedly beneficial to crops although it will delay harvesting. With general ly fair weather in the Eastern Stales the movement is becoming very heavy and with the present grade differences In New York, hedge selling should come on that market, which accounts for the easiness there this morning In the face of the good iverpo' i.

Sept. 11.—Wednesday’s market acted as though It needed con stant support to hold It up. Gwathmey & Co. were big buyers for the day, many thought that Pell Shearson were the leading sellers. Lester, fop the latter firm, traded in nearly 50,000 bales, most ly selling January, but lie bought con siderable October against it. Gwathmey purchases were thought to be around 30,000 bales. Hubbard and Wall Street bought and Liverpool sold. The mar ket had a weak spell In (be last hour, but rallied on buying by Mitchell, forc ing shorts to cover. * o • Liverpool showed considerable strength In the face of the general sell ing here yesterday and the bearish feel ing among the majority of operators. It is said the firmness was based on continental buying. This market opened steady, the buying coining from strong sources, though after the call there was general .selling by the ring crowd and a few points decline followed. This was soon checked by brokers closely iden tified with the large spot interests, whom it is understood are advising pur chases on any reaction from present evel. It is reported that spinners are becoming anxious and believed by many that further advance would bring them generally into the market. The map and private reports showed heavy rains in the western belt. In some portions it will be beneficial, but in other sec tions the opinion is expressed that ex cessive rains would do more harm than good. However, there are several in rtuences hanging over the market Just now, such as the situation at Washing ton. And the fear of hedge selling which will naturally restrict those in clined to the bull side from taking any aggressive steps.—J.

It has b^en contended that the final estimate will amount to close to 260,000,000 bushels, but the report is expected to indicate 240 000.000 to 245,009.000 bushels. • » k Walter H. Moler, with S. B. Chapin & Co., says that the Government report on corn should show a condition of about 65. which on the Government method of indicating crops, would suggest 2.340.- 000,000. Condition on oats should be ! about 72 per cent, Indicating a crop of 1.000,000,000. Spring wheat Indicated crop should be about 240.000.000 bushels, which would make total Indicated wheat crop more than 750,000.000 bushels. • * * B. W. Snow says that understanding of the difference between the drouth this year and those of other seasons is essential to a realization of the se- . riousness of the present situation. In I 1901 and in 1911, drouth has confined to I June and July, relief coining In 1901 about August l and in 1911 around Au- ! gust 15. It is the destruction of corn and of late summer and fall pasturage that makes the present drouth the most serious In decades. From an economic standpoint, the loss of forage this year is only a little less serious than the loss to the corn crop. • • • The Chicago Inter Ocean says; “Sentiment was more divided last night in wheat, but there was a great many bulls who can see but one side of the market, and a few bears who are equally emphatic In their view' of market conditions. “Corn traders said that the selling which made the early decline yesterday was due mainly to the belief that the price discounted all bullishness shown by the Government report. The action of the market, they said, showed that the big holders pick up the offerings. It was noticeable that many of the small local bulls, who sell out on breaks, are afraid that prices will go up, and they buy whenever there Is a show of strength. ‘ Sentiment on oats is inclined to be a t little bearish ♦’or the time being, be cause of the showing of the Govern ment report is the third largest on rec ord, and they say the heavy supplies will have to be reduced materially be fore there Is any big advance.’’ • • • The Government report showing the number of stock holdings practically the same as last year shows that the meat- making demand upon this .short corn crop will be as great aH was last year's demand for that purpose upon the largest corn crop on record. It means a farm needs not only the corn grown, but the utilization of all other possible feeds in producing high-priced meats, and is. therefore, a decidedly bullish fac tor in wheat and oats, as well as corn. • • * The cattle and sheep supply is prac tically as large as last j ear. and beef, mutton ind park all sell at a price that Is much above the parity of corn, wheat and oats, and these grains will be con verted Into meat on the farms. The forced marketing of cattle from dis tricts having no feed at this time does not reduce the ultimate demand for this corn, because these abnormal receipts are not being slaughtered. They are be ing shipped out of the Kansas G' v Omaha market as feeders and Northern Iowa and Northern Illinois are taking them into their feed lots, whe”e they w*fi use up the ^orn surplus of these States. The crop failure In Kansas. Nebraska and Missouri not only removes these States as a source of cnmmerc'a! corn •"•pniy this year, but the transfer for feeding purposes of their cattle to lawo and Illinois puts these two producers al r o om of the surplus corn class. From where is the ordinary Eastern and Southern cornmerrDl demand to be met this year?—Rycroft. • • • Bartlett, Frazier Company says: “Wheat—The market Is gaining friends every day. as values certainly seem on a very safe basts. “Corn—The market will be subject to periodical attacks hv short sellers, but it seems to us such operations were any thing but profitable. “Oats—We believe the long side the sa fest. “Provisions— Packers best sellers but there was a fnir amount of new buying 1 of deferred futures for investment.” • • • General forecast - Illinois.
