Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-06-07

When newspaper attacks the hired
girl, just because she wor s for n Iiy-
ing, and calls her a Kitchen mechan-
ic,' 1t is time that that element of the
community should rise up in arms. The
hired girl or any other working girl Is
1ar his or their superlors. 1t is Just as
honorable to work in kitchen as It
Is to sit in the parlor with your legs
crossed just because Pap" has money.
This would be great country II all
were wealthy and no one to hire to do
the work. A girl who has the snap
and energy to earn a livelihood at
honorable employment. be it in the
kitchen or the store, the office or the
dressing room. is just as good as any
millionaire who drives a bobtail team
or any man who belongs even to the
best social clubs.-Franklin Leader.

Commenting on the above letter. the
Wilkesbarre Record says:
"In his own forceiul and emphatic
language Mr.. Palmer states to the Re-
publican voters the platform on which
he stands. He needs no introduction to
the people OF this district, among whom
all the years Of his manhood have been
passed, where he has fought success
fully the battle Of life, as well as the
battles OF Republicanism. 1t is unnec-
essary to speak OF tho qualifications Of
Henry w. Palmer to fill with marked
ability any station in public life, but
he possesses in an unusual measure the
qualities that bring distinction and ma
tional fame to mon in the popular
branch OF the United States congress.
"ln the house Of representatives he
would appear to advantage by the side
OF the leaders in the debates on great
national and international questions and
measures. Few men In this section of
the state have been closer students Of
the great issues that will come before
the next congress for final solution and
the creating of national policies relating
thereto. No man in this district is en-
dowed by nature with finer quality Of
courage in maintaining his convictions.
1.-The Pennsylvania delegation in con-
gress would be immensely strengthened
by the addition OF man OF such mark
ed ability, courage and aggressivensss
In debate as Henry W, Palmer"

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Feb. 17.-Attention today
ceptercd almost wholly ON the weekly
statement of the clearing hous banks.
The public continued to hold aloof from
the market and buying and selling was
entirely in the hands of professional
traders. These were inclined to the SNORT
side of the market in anticipation OF III
weak bank return which had been clear-
" f~oreshadowed by the record OF SUD-
Treasury operations for the week, py
the course of New York exchange at
other domestic centres and by yesterdays
preliminary estimates by the banks them
selves of the currency movement for the
week. AS is the invariable rule where
q condition has been accurately fore
seen and discounted, the event brings
reaction. due to the taking OF sDecula-
tive profits, either on the long or tl!e
short side of the market. ln today s
market, the bears started to cover their
short contracts after the bank statement
and worked a sharp rally. Some stocks
wore attacked anew in the final dealings,
making the close irregular, but the gen
eral list was firm at the rally. The bears
found Pacific Mail vulnerable TO 1urtnef
attack and had some success with REQ
ple's Gas, out Third Avenue offefed
some resistance. A large seillnS ORDER
WAS detected liz y dUIO1ldl CtSCl SLb tht'
stock was offered down ~, causing
svmpathetic declines in a number of the
other. metal stocks. Federal Steel pre-
ferred fell an extreme 234. National
Steel rallied, hut dropped again to the
lowest and American Hoop fell suddenly

DEVELOPMENTS In the money situation may
account for the weakness in the iron m
dustrials, as they are still looked upon
with disfayor by bankers and money
lenders as collateral. The decrease IN
the cash account of the banks confor1ned
very closely TO preliminary estimates
and the loan expansion OF Slo,oo4,-Oo
created no great surprise, IN view OF the
recent tendency and the known pressure
for accommodation In all departments
of the business world.
The weekly trade reviews sufhclehat
indicate the widespread activity IN busl-
ness in all lines. at q h1Sh level OF prices
Srrrrise is rather felt that call money
should have continued in apparently
abundant supply at two per cent, during
Yesterday. 1t is difficult to discern any
prospect of early relief from the factors
which are making inroads on the banks
cash resources and with continued pres
sure upon the banks at the present rate
for credits, the encroachments upon sur
plus reserves must be rapid.
There has been a good business IN tho
bond market although prices We're MOI

HAVEN & SHOUTS COTTON LET
TER.

New York, Feb. 17.-(Special)-Atter
the remarkable records for both activity
and prices which the speculative cotton
market made at the beginning OF the
week, there was a natural and healthy
reaction. The market, Wey was
exceedingly feverish, and the variations
in prices either WAY were of a KIND OF
which the conservative element III the
trade cannot entirely approve. 1oWaru
the close Of the week, however, buillsh
sentiment. in spite of the nlanlfestly
heavy liquidation of long holdings, has
again obtained the ~ascendancy, anu, al
though variable, the market seems 10
be in line for some further rise even
if it should not be permanently held. Inc
fact that New York continues to De
relatively the cheapest cotton market
does not escape attention. and those VINO
argue that the advance is not running
beyond intrinsic conditions can with Jus
tice point to the circumstances that 11e
spot markets at Southern points are on
the whole devoid of reactiOnary tendeii-
cies. and that in this instance at ieast
speculation has to all appearances faiied
to over-discount the actual relations OF

stance has, of course, affected the action
OF foreign consumers. As We have
pointed out fer weeks past. it is the at
tltude Of the foreign Spinners which is
bound to determine the course of cotton
prices and the ultimate level of quota
uons for the present years crop. So far
as can be learned there is. however. no
reason to doubt the fact that English
and Continental spinners have over
stayed their market, are under-supplied.
and Will. therefore, have TO pay the
prices for raw material to fill their en-
gagements at he figures which such q
condition will render legitimate.
Under existing conditions there viii
naturally be considerable manipulation
and a correspondingly wide range of iuc-
tuations. The rational view Of the posi-
ton, however, seems TO be that prices
for contracts in the cotton of the pres
ent crop year are purchases whenever
the market has any reasonably large
reaction.

MODERN ENANGEIISTS.

Charity and Children.
We heartily endorse the leader in
the News and Observer Of last Sunday
in which the sensational rcvivaliSt is
pretty nicely roasted; and the methods
and manners" Of Rev. X. G.. Pearson,
who for several days has been conducting
a meeting IN Charlotte are commended.
We believe in Mr.. Pearson. He
breaches the gospel IN strong but decent
language. He does not refer TO his
own past life nor put n premium on
wild oats" We do not know what
Mr.. Pearson's past life has been, but
from his preaching we would infer that
he has always been a gentleman.
The rawlings and rantings OF many
Of the noted evangclists OF our day are
in striking contrast with the language
and spirit Of the Master, who spoke
plainly and strongly. but always decent
". There is absolutely no excuse for
a preacher playing the buffoon except
the desire to make himself notorious.
Such a mans soul is not on fire to
save men, but it is or fire with a seihsn
ambition to set himself up.
Tom Dixon poor fellow, felt that
he must say s~tartlig things, and the
more he said them the more he had
to say. until finally, with all has re
sourceful brilliancy, he weariet with
all the empty applause his sensation
alism brought him and retired in disgust
to private life.
The trouble with the man was radi-
cal. He was not impelled by the rlght
motive. He went into the pulpit for the
opportunity it afforded Of keeping hlmseir
in view andin due time he collapsed. No
nave often wondered that others as am
bitious as he, but not so brilliant, nave
held up 50 long. But their day IS com-
ing. The man who makes the ministry
a ladder for his own selfish upilit'ng -
! sure at last to fall.
Rut the few like Moody and Pearson.
who preach the plain old gospel IN the
Main old way, albeit with wondroiis
power. will be blessed Of the Lord ana
loved by all people.
A preacher, of all other men IN the
world Should set the example Of gentle
ness. refinement and all other QUANTITIES
which mark the perfect gentleman.
