\ TTTF ATI ANT A GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. 15 Policy Has Damagd Sueffrage Cause in England—No Excuse For It in United States. By DR. CHARLES AKED. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., Sept. 11. Dispatches 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. Tt Is asserted, perhaps with little knowledge and less 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 friends 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. Christabel. 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 pathetic 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 advised them to make themselves an irritant to politicians. They did, and they were treated with a brutality which passes all belief. This phase of the story has not been understood in America. Started by “Heckling.” It is the custom in England to ask questions in political meetings. The process is known as “heckling." After Campbell-Bannerman's advice, the women began to attend public meetings, and they asked questions. Their interruptions angered men; they were thrown out of the meet ings with violence; they were mauled by blackguards. They continued to go to meetings and to interrupt. The violence grew. Filthy scoundrels offered themselves as “stewards.” for the opportunity it gave them of committing Indecent as saults upon women and girls in the act of carrying them and bundling them out 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 most engaging of their sex, were forced to strip, stand in a line of ! women as nude as themselves, street j walkers, pickpockets, thieves and j 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 these women. Then they resorted to violence. Here I part company from them. •‘Militancy” in England first meant j a policy of “pestering.” recommended by Sir eHnry Campbell-Bannerman when the fir* minister of the Britisn crown. It involved suffering. Aud I defended the women. But Is there need in America for even such “mili tancy” as that? “Militancy” in England now means arson, train wrecking and murderous assaults. If it is suggested that the women of America should adopt it as policy, I say that nothing can ex cuse the irrationality of the sugges tion and nothing can palliate its crime. Changed Whisky to Vinegar in Evidence MACON, Sept. 11.—When Murray Mr- Lain, a bookkeeper, testified before the Grand Jury he said he witnessed the sale of liquor at J. P Devlin’s saloon. In the trial of the case m the City Court. MrLain swore that the liquid was vin egar and that he was mistaken wber. he said it was whisky, Judge Hodges immediately charged McLain with contempt of court and sent him to jail for five daya. j 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- footedly in favor of placing the army on a better war fooling than is the case at present. “As long," says Senator Chamber 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 army 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 L<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. 1 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 apprehension 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 which have taken slII the time, so that little attention has been given to questions 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, as 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 must 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- mentn 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."

BEARS HAMMER. BULLS SIDESTEP Fear of Hedge Selling and Rains in West Send January to 12.76 Cents, NEW YORK. Sept. 11.— At the open ing of the cotton market to-day there was a buying wave and first prices were 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 8 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 intmedlate- ly rallied through active buying irom strong sources. The volume of trading w r as 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 bulls 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 legislation in Washington is restricting trading to a great extent.

Operations of the Illinois Central Railroad Company during Ihe fiscal year ended June 30 netted $3,108,665 more than in 1912, despite the flood which stopped all through traffic for nine days and necessitated heavy ex penditures. This is shown in th»* an nual report just issued. Because of the unusual conditions of the past two years, which have earned the "I. 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 handlcap3 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 was expended for additions and bet terments $10,119,168. of whicli $4,- 906,530 was for equipment. Operating revenues for the year were $64,280,903 and operating ex penses were $50,048,912, leaving a net revenue from rail operations of $14,- 231,991. This is reduced by deficits from other operations, taxes and oth er expenses to $6,576,113 as against $3,466,448 in 1912. FAIR EXHIBITS DUTY FREE. WASHINGTON.

The cable further states that America is also bidding for Argen tine corn at the dock bere for ship ment to Gulf ports. * * • There has been a little confusion the past few days as to showing of Govern ment spring wheat figures. It has been 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 245.000.000 bushels * • * Walter H. Moler, with S. B. Chapin Sc Co., says that the Government report on com should show a condition of about 65. which bn 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 shoaiId be about 240,000.000 bushels, which would make total Indicated wheat crop more than 750.000,000 bushels. • * • B \V. 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 1901 and In 1911, drouth has confined to June and July, relief coming in 1901 about August 1 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 am equally emphatic in their view' of market conditions. "Corn traders said that the selling which made the early decline yesterday I 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.

COTTON GOSSIP NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—Wednesday’s market acted as though it needed con stant support to hold it up. Gwathmey & Co. were big buyers for tne day, many thought that Pell Sc Khearson were the leading sellers. Lester, for the latter firm, traded in nearly 60,000 bales, most ly selling January, but he bought con siderable October against It. Gwathmey purchases were thought to be around 30,000 bales. Hubbard and Wail Street bought and Liverpool sold. The mar ket had a weak spell In the last hour, but rallied on* buying by Mitchell, forc ing shorts to cover. • . * • Local bears say the market is long and unless continually supported it will sell lower, as crop talk from the South west Is better and cables from Man chester and the continent say trade is becoming very slack. • • • Hibbs, a leading broker tn Washing ton. wired Chapin yesterday that the bill, as it passed the Senate, becomes operative September. 1914, but he said there wasn't the least doubt that it would be modified in conference. • • • The average operator fears the hedge selling from the South, as the move ment will naturally be heavy in a very short time. • • * The legislation ln Washington is having a depressing effect and we may expect a nervous market until things are in a more definite shape at the Cap itol. * * * Dallas wires: "Texas, general rains and cooler; Oklahoma, cloudy, threat ening over the entire State; no rain." • * • * The revision committee of the New York Cotton Exchange left the differ ences between grades of spot cotton as applied to deliveries on New York con tract • • • Browne.

There was cause enough. Splendid rains have fallen all over the drouth affected Htatee of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkan sas and there Is an important reaction in the market, which show's that because of the excellence of thhs year's tap root renewed growth and further fruit ing will result. To an extent at least, even ln those sections of the West where the drouth has been most acute and that where light rains fell at in tervals during- the period of drouth, as was the case over a large area in Texas, a top crop is now assured by reason <ff the precipitation Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. “This attitude. of course, creates contentions since the talent in the main nead abroad under the belief thAt the last of the rain had. by September 1, caused irreparable and very impor tant damage ln the West. “The trade situation also gives rise to controversy. Spinners are not buy ing cotton ahead of actual requirements, and supply merchants are beginning to show ann.oyance over the lack of busi ness. Bears contend that since there is no scarcity of cotton, and since the manufactured product in record-break ing volume has passed from the mills to the shelves of the merchants during the past two years, spinners need not be in a hurry to provide themselves with the raw material now that crop esti mates are expanding and prices are comparatively high."

For this reason more bearish ness is noted in many quarters. Prices hold steady in the main, however, and the prerfictlon for cooler weather with some fear of excessive rains i.s a steady ing influence. It is evident that the heat of the bull fever has subdued and that legitimate demand must rise to ad vance values materially.
