Talbot & Pa,mpr's stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York SUM-
New York, October 26.-Some particularly
noteworthy statements of railway traffic
were submitted for the third week of Oc-
tober, and the showings, 1t may be said,
were only in line with the others already
made for the same period. In fact, the
railways in every section of the country
are reporting earnings SO immense and 50
much heavier than even those of last year
that it may be said that the question of the
payment of handsome dividends, even on
stocks not now making any distribution of
profits, Is only ore resting with the judg-
ments of the various boards of manage
ment. Interest in the rate situation was to-
day even more pronounced than it has been
previously and it requires little considera-
tion of this feature of the general situation
to draw the conclusion that the current
year will, in all likelihood, establish a new
record in the history of the industrials of
transportation. The days stock market
continued active and in the main firm
though les tendency was rather more ir-
regular than it was yesterday and some
of the same sensational features that
marked the dealings were absent. Many of
the lower priced stocks were notably
strong. Manhattan and Metropolitan were
very strong, but there was definite news
on either. The grangers were actively
dealt in at slight advances. Sugar and To-
bacco We're very strong. The money mar
ket continued active and firm at the weeks

advices showing a decline of 1-32d on spots,
with about 2 decline on futures, were very
discouraging to the bulls, and our market
opened somewhat lower than last nights

i'm Indian Territory, with likelihood of its
being followed by frosts for the southwest,
and on this the locals started in as buyers,
and were Joined by the early morning SELL
ers. The impetus upward thus acquired
was hepled along by Liverpool regaining
her early decline and in fact closing a
shade above last night Receipts continue
small, and naturally make believers in a
short crop confident in their views. Bust
ness is not large or broad, but the gain of
6 points made from the lowest is well main

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT'S STERN
 DUTY

It has taken more moral courage for Governor Roosevelt to refuse to com mute the death sentence of Mrs. Mar tha Place, the Brooklyn murderess, than to climb the hill of San Juan or to hew an honest course in Albany. In the excitement and danger of a bat tie. shame, if no higher principle, holds even a coward in line and carries the average man along in the ranks of duty. In the conflicts between his political duty and his political debts since his inauguration Governor Roosevelt has had many difficult prop ositions to face. But following his convictions fearlessly, he has avoided the snares set for him by willy poli- ticians.
 But in the final disposition of this death penalty he has had tC face the sentiment and prejudice of thousands, perhaps millions of his cOuntrymen against the execution of a woman. h. trusted with the supreme power of eX ercising mercy, how easy for some men it would have been to have said, T can spare this life, spare my own sensibiltiies, spare the community the shock it anticipates in the electrOcu- tiOn of a woman"
 But such a decision would have
  What was mercy to the guilty woman might be the gravest injustice to the community. And thus Governor Roosevelt viewed it. Mrs. Places guilt was established. No doubt hoy ever over her crime, no circumstances rose to mitigate it. The jury, the trial court and the court of appeals had pronounced it worthy of death. The inquiry into her sanity left n0 suggestion of Responsibility upon which the governor could base a com mutation of her sentence
 He decided that interference with the course of the law in this case could only be justified on the ground that no murderess, no matter what the enor- mity of her crime, should suffer cap ital punishment. Governor Roosevelt could not assume the responsibility Of such a declaration, since the law had not, and therefore he refused to inter- fere.
 There can be no doubt as to the jus tice of his decision.-Chicag Times. Herald.
