DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLIrANS
AGAIN JOIN
IN HEATED DEBATE
Bi'fc \
Washinton, Feb. 16.?Laying aside
its legislative business, the senate by
unanimous consent took up the treaty
of Versailles again today and resumed
in all its vigor the ratification debate
interrupted last November.
k' ' 0 0 m
\ The opening gun in the new phase
of the fight was fired by one of the
treaty's irreconcilable foes, Senator
McCormick, Republican, Illinois, reopening
the discussion with a speech
' bitterly assailing many propositions
of the document and counseling the
1'-? ?a+ +r? consent to
Kepumicau icaucij "W
further compromise.
$'*
He was followed by Senator McCumber,
Republican, North Dakota,
a leader among the treaty's Republican
friends, who flayed the heads of
both parties for their failure to compromise,
and declared that "child's
piay obstinacy" alone stood in the
way of ratification. ,
Drawn into the debate by the
charges of the North Dakota senator,
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the
Democratic^ leader, asserted that the
Democrats already had "abandoned"
1 their previous stand and had offered
compromises, but that the Republicans
were demanding nothing short
of complete Democratic surrender.
Once it got under way the debate
speedily revived the whole scale of
issues which the senate had debated
from May to November of last year.
The subject technically under consideration,
a motion by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts to modify
the Republican reservations on withdrawal,
was not mentioned until late
in the day when Mr. Lodge took the
floor to explain his reasons for mov-Prx**
onrpo
illg XVI bllV
Settlement Far Off.
When the debate was reopened the
private negotiations for a compromise
apparently passed into the doldrums
and some of the treaty's most
active friends on both sides of the
chamber predicted there probably
would be no settlement until discussion
on the floor had spent itself. The
negotiations are expected to continue
however, and some senators believe
thov mnv vofr ihrinc an
V"VJ ^ vv ^**"0 "O""
that will permit ratification.
Reinstatement of the treaty as the
foremost subject of senate consideration
was accompished without a
word of debate and without any more
of the dramatic than might attend
the introduction of a private pension
bill. The only outward evidence of
"he unusual was the crowded galleries,
where empty seats had been in
the majority for many weeks, but
where scores stood in line all of today
hopeful of a glimpse into the senate
cnamDer.
Acting under an agreement with
Democratic leaders, Senator Lodge
asked unanimous consent that ths
t:eaty be taken up and then presented
- first of the proposed reservation
changes he made public last week.
His amendment would make the withdrawal
of reservation stipulate that
notice of withdrawal from membership
in the league of nations could
bo given "by the president or by congress

of both houses may deem it

WO DAY!
"THE
Admission
"BULL MARKET" PREDICTED
BY J. S. WANNAMAKER
! Columbia, Feb. 16.?"The recent

attack on the cotton market represents
the dying efforts of the 'shorts'

by the American Cotton Association
to the idle European mills," said J.
jSkottOwe Wannamaker, president of
the American Cotton Association
last night.
1 Mr. Wannamaker says that the
'American and English mills know
that the starting of the European
mills will mean the restoration of a
parity between cotton and cotton
goods.
j Mr. Wannamaker's statement follows
in full:
i "The recent attack on the cotton
market represents the dying efforts
of the "Shorts" to prevent the exporting
of cotton by the American
Cotton Association to the idle European
mills. ,
I "The American and jEnglish mills
know the available supply of cotton
is short and are determined to prevent
the now idle millfe of Europe
getting cotton. They know every bale
shipped to those mills diminished
their possible supply and further
what is more to the point, they know
that the starting of European mills
will be the beginnig of the restoration
on a parity between cotton and
cotton goods. All this talk about the
exchange rates or value of the pound
sterling is pure unadulterated nonsense,
so far as England's shipping
cotton is concerned. England buys
our cotton and either ships the goods
here to settle for cotton or else she
ships her manufactured goods to the
silver countries where our dollar is
below par and there buys our money
or credit for 98 cents and less on
the dollar. The only place to exchange
situation hurts now is in
those countries who have not yet begun
to export manufactured goods.
The world needs manufactured
goods fully as bad as Europe needs
raw cotton?and no force, however,
arbitrary and powerful can long delay
j he supplying of raw cotton to idle
! mills. The margin of profit is now
jand will continue to be too great to
force mills. Wherever they are located
to remain idle English mills fear
I the competition of , European mills
'and gladly aid in the suppression of
i the value of their money so lcnrr as
they are able to pay in manufactured
goods here or where ever our money
is below par.
"We believe we arc on the verge

Children
of the greatest, "Bull Market" ever
experienced. Spot cotton is firmly
held. Spot cotton is not following the
decline in futures.
Neither the fall in the value of the
pound sterling not the action of the
Federal reserve banks to refuse to
loan money on Liberty bonds will
stampede the holders of cotton?we
prefer to hold what we have for a
fair price based on manufactured
goods rather than raise another crop
\
under present conditions and with
the present labor situation.
"The cotton producer is deter
J mined for once not be smoked out
like a rat. If allowed a man's chance
we can hold the balance of our crop
until we can realize what we think
it is worth. If we are denied a man's
chance to hold it and raise another
crop we will let the 1920 crop go
hand and hold what we have in hand.
"This will be one of the chief subjects
of discussion at the coming
meeting in Montgomery.
"There has not been a plow stuck
in the ground as yet to prepare for
the cotton crop. The development of
the next 30 days, will determine
largely future actions of the cotton
growers.
SENATE RECALLS
PEACE TREATY,
OUTLOOK HOPEFUL
The Peace Treaty is again pending
before the Senate.
Yesterday Senator Lodge, pursu!ant
to the notice to that effect given
a few days ago, initiated measures
which resulted in placing the treaty
again before the Senate, and in tho
same status as that which it occupied
during the prolonged debate last November.
In putting through this plan for
ithe revival of the treaty sixty-three
Democratic and Republican Senaators
supported Mr. Lodge all but
(nine?those known as the "irrecondilablos"?opposed
him.
The final move yesterday was to
refer the treaty to the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee with ir.if
Vvo/?lr of nr -a
j Ol/JL UtliUUO l?U ICUVib 11/ wavx\ CAW VII W
together with the Lodge reservv
tions. This procedure will be carrk' I
out promptly and the matter will
I then be open for substitute reservations
and full debate. Owing, howSever
,to the desire of Senators to disi
ipose of the railroad bill and certain
' other important pending measures
j first and thus clear the decks for
(action, it is regarded as unlikely that
|the treaty fight in the open Senate
will occur before next week.
CHEAPER SUGAR
THE PROSPECT
i Washintgon, Feb. 17.?Sugar's going
down in price in March or April,
j If the strike in Cuba doesn't interfere;
j If the Forto Rico crop reaches exjpectations;
And :f nothing elso happorr, rlisi

j President Wilson has decided not
i o exercirc the authority conferred
by the McNary sugar ret of Dec. 20
' o far as purchasing the Cuban crop
concerned.

i if the Sugar Board should appear

would be to strengthen the market
and further increase the price. Furthermore,
it would have to buy at *i
time when sugar prices are ni* ''v :' .
i and thus risk a very considerable
loss.

considerable reduction. The offerings
of refined sugar for February deliveries
are at 13.50 cents per pound
wholesale. Still further reductions
are in sight for March.
Of the Cuban crop of 4,800,000
tons, it is estimbated that the allied
governments will take approximately
1,250,000 tons, leaving 2,550000
tons for the U. S. Last year the United
States consumeu over 4,500,000
tons of sugar. The crops for Louisiana,
the west, Porto Rica, and Hawaii
will aggregate approximately 2,000,000
tons. Together this is 50,000
tons more than the United States
used in 1919. In 1919 the United
States need 600,000 tons more than
in 1918. and 300,000 tons more than
were ever used in the history of the
country.
Ot seems, therefore, that the supply
is ample, and if normal conditions
obtain', prices to the housewife
should go lower in the spring and
summer months.

WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water |
with phosphate In it,
before breakfast.
To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
; clean, almost every morning, to pre
i vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, soui
bile and poisonous toxins, says a note;!
physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with a bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach bocomes
rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyci
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
livjr is the most important, also the
mu^t abused and neglected organ o;
th'. body. Few know its function or
ho~' to release the dammed-up boiy
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which if- r
dangerous, salivating chemical wliicli
can- only be used occasioually heeau*-'
it accumulates in the tissue

3 very man and woman, si?;. <>:
..< 11, should drink each nioruiab
1 fore breakfast a glass of hot v.;
'.villi a teaspoonful of limestone phr>o,
phate in it, to wash from the liver a:iii
bowels the previous day's iacligts.l'v.
material, the poisons, sour bile avc'

1 freshening the entire alimentary
