Huerta Mutt Go. There is but one cloud upon our horizon That has shown itself to the south of us. and hangs over Mexico. There can be no certain prospect of peace 1n America until General Huerta has surrendered Ills usurped authority In Mexico; until it is understood on all hands, indeed, that such pretended governments will not be countenanced or dealt with by the government of the United Htates. We nre the friends of constl- tuMonal government in America; we are more than its friends, we are its champions, because in no other way can our neighbors, to whom we would wish in every way to make proof of our friendship, work out their own development |n peace and liberty. Mexico has no goernment. The at tempt to maintain one at the City of Mexico has broken down, and a mere military despotism has been set up whjch has hardly more than the semblance of national authority, it originated in the usurpation of Vic- torlano Huerta, who. after a brief attempt to play t:ie part of consti tutional President, has at la»t cast aside even the pretense of legal right and declared himself dictator. Policy of Waiting. As a consequence a condition of af fairs now exists In Mexico which has made it doubtful whether even the most elementary and fundamental rights either of her own people or of the citizens of other countries res ident within her territory can long he successfully safeguarded. and which threatens, if long continued, to imperil the Interests of peace, or der and tolerable life in the lanoc immediately to the south of us. Even if the usurper had succeeded in his purposes, in despite of the Constitu tion of the republic and the rights of its people, he would have set up nothing but a precarious and hate ful power, which could have lasted but a litle while, and whose event ual downfall would have left the country in a more deplorable condi tion than ever. But he has not suc ceeded. He has forfeited the respect Striking Points From President's Message Some striking points from President Wilson's message: lie repeated his assertion that President Huerta must be eliminated, hut made clear that his policy was that of waiting for Huerta’s downfall, which must come soon. The Sherman anti trust law should stand unaltered, but it should lie made more explicit by new' legislation. He urged legislation to provide for the direct nomination of Presidential candidates, party conventions to he retained solely for the purpose of ratifying the choice of the people and framing party platforms. He would have the conventions com posed of the candidates for office, so they might be held directly responsible for failure to carry into effect the platform pledges.

Little by little he has been completely Isolated. By a little ! every day his power and prestige are crumbling and the collapse is not far away. We shall not, I believe, be obliged to alter our policy of watch ful waiting. And then, when the end comes, we shall hope to see constitu tional order restored in distressed Mexico by the concert and energy of such of her leaders as prefer the lib erty of their people to their own am bition. Urges Currency Law. I turn to matters of domestic con cern. You already have under con sideration a hill for the reform of our system of banking and currency, for which the country waits with impatience, as for something funda mental to its whole business life and necessary to set credit free from ar bitrary and artificial restraints I need not say how earnestly 1 hope for its early enactment into law. I take leave to beg that the whole energy and attention of the Senate be concentrated upon it uill the matter is successfully disposed of. And yet I feel that the request is not needed -that the members of that great House need no urging in this service to the country. I present to you, in addition, the urgent necessity that special provi sion be made also for facilitating the credits needed by the farmers of the country. The pending currency bill does the farmers a great service. It puts them upon an equal footing with other business men and masters of enterprise, as It should, and upon its passage they will find themselves quit , . £ of many of the difficulties which now j hamper them in the field of credit. The farmers, of course, ask and should be given no special privilege, such as extending to them the credit of the Government itself. What they need and should obtain is legislation which will make their own abundant and substantial credit resources available fls a foundation for Joint, concerted local action in their own behalf in getting the capital they must use. It Is to this we should now address ourselves. Farm Credits Needed. It has, singularly enough, come to pass that we have allowed the in dustry of our farms to lag behind j the other activities of ihe country in Its development. I need not atop to tell you how fundamental to the life I clarify it but also facilitate its ad- by which the farmer may make his credit constantly and easily available and command when he will the cap ital by which to support and expand his business. We lag behind many other great countries of the modern world in attempting to do this Sys tems of iqral credit have been stud ied and developed on the other side of the water while we left our far mers to shift for themselves in the ordinary money market. You have but to look about you in any rural district to see the result, the handi cap and embarrassment which have been put upon those who produce our food. Confident of Result. Conscious of this backwardness and neglect on our part, the Congress re cently authorized the creation of a special commission to study the va rious systems of rural credit which have been put into operation in Europe, and this commission is al ready prepared to report. Its report ought to make it easier for us to de termine what methods will be best suited to our own farmers. I hope and believe that the committees of the Senate and House will address themselves to this matter with the most fruitful results, and I believe that the studies and recently formed plans of the Department of Agricul ture may be made to serve them very greatly in their work of framing ap propriate and adequate legislation. It would be indiscreet and presump tuous in anyone to dogmatize upon so great and many-sided a question, but 1 feel confident that common counsel produce the results we must all NEW YORK, Dec 2 Unexpetced strength in ihe spot market in Liver- I pool, which showed spots 6 points high er with sales of 15.000 hales, together ! with a bullish crop estimate by the } New York Commercial, resulted In the cotton market opening steady to-day with first prices at a net advance of 6 I to 10 points from Monday's close. Lo- | cal bulls and the larger spot houses I suported the list and there was an ab- 1 sence of selling presure due to short covering, who were nervous, seeing that the market was pretty steady. Outside business was lacking and the trading was almost wholly attributed to locals. After the call trading was narrow, the bears displaying considerable caution Local bulls were the chief buyers, but the South and Liverpool also took s6m« and at the end of the first hour the list stood 3 to 8 points over the initial level. After the covering of shorts was ap parently ended, local bulls took hold and bid aggressively, but offerings be came scarce and the list stood around the early high point. Sentlmnt continues rather bearish, and the majority are talking setback.

Turn from the farm to the world of business which centers in the city and in the factory’- and I think that all thoughtful observers will agree that the immediate service we owe the business communities of the country is to prevent private monop oly more effectually' than it has yet been prevented. I think it will be easily agreed that we should let the Sherman anti-trust law stand, unal tered. as it is, with its debatable ground about it, but that we should as much as possible reduce the area of that debatable ground by further and more explicit legislation; and should also supplement that great act by legislation which will not only TOYS Before making your Xmas pur chase of toys be sure to make a visit or two to the South’s most complete Toy store.

It is of capital importance that the business men of this country should be relieved of all uncertainties of law with regard to their enterprises and investments and a clear path indicated which they can travel without anxiety. It is as important that they should be re lieved of embarrassment and set free to prosper aa that private pionopoly should be destroyed. The Ways of action should be thrown wide open.
