NEW YEAR
And New Century National Red Cross
SOcietIy'S Plan for Watch Night.

The Mayor has received a COM
munication from the National Red
Cross Society setting forth plans and
outlining the course of action 10 be
pursued by the Society for watch
meetings in the cities and towns all
over the country on New Years night.
In order to improve the finances an
unique and novel form of entertain
ment has been decided upon. 1t is pro-
posed to hold watch meetings on the
night of December 31st, and just as the
old century is dying to welcome the
newborn era with greetings of pro-
phecy and contentment. These
greetings" are articles by the fore
most literary, military and commercial
men of the age. They contain the
writers views as to the accomplish
ments of the century then about at a
close and the events of the cycle of
years to come. They represent the
crystarlized thought of the most emil
nent of the world today and for this
reason will be of particular interest
as the new century is ushered in.
Sealed packages containing these arti-
cles will be expressed to the towns
and cities in which the meetings will
take place on Dec. 81, thus making the
reading simultaneous all over the
entire land. Anyone wishing to learn
more of the project can secure the
information from Mayor w. E. Sykes.

BEARS FAILED
In Their Many Efforts to Break the Stock
Market.

New York, Nov. 26.-The reaction
ary tendency which weighed the stock
market last week was distinctly over
come today and prices resumed an up
ward course. The advance was not
uniform, striking gains being confined
to a comparatively few stocks. In
some stocks the resistance was not
more than enough to enable them to
hold their own, while small number
by positive weakness gave slight ir-
regularities to the market
Notable strength in particular
stocks, accompanied by rumors of
changes of control helped the merket,
and the bears were finally driven to
cover. While the strength in the
market was renewed, there was not
large volume of business, which has
been the average for over two weeks.
The bear manipulations were evident,
not only here, but in the foreign mar
kets.
Rumors of the Cars death, of
complications in China,
and of international friction growing
out of Kruger demonstrations in
France did not aid the bears much in
forcing lower prices.
There was very large buying of st.
Louis and Southwestern bonds. The
,otal shares traded in numbered $780,
100.

"a Romance of Coon Hollow
which will be seen at the Auditorium
Thursday, November 20, (ThIanksgiv-
ing night) has some of the most ex-
quisite scenery on the road. The
first act reveals an autumn view of a
typical southern plantation, with sun
set and moonlight effects, and contains
splendid electrical display. The sec
ond act is "a facsimile of Coon Hol-
| low," a rugged glen in the Tennessee
hills, painted from sketches made on
the spot, and is made sensational by a
strong and thrilling climax. The
third act shows "a wood landing on the
Mississippi, and night view of the
famous Uee-Natchez steamboat race
the boats being lighted up and under
full head of steam. The last act is
given to an actual cotton press in op-
eration, and is thrillingly dramatic
The play will be given here with all
the effects used in the original run at
the Fourteenth Street Theatre, New
York. In the wood landing scene is
introduced a rollicking melange of
songs and dances by a troupe of col
ored boys and girls. The play is now
in its seventh successful season on the

Unfair Opposition to the Ship
Subsidy Bill.

YIN AN OPEN LETTER addressed
to General Charles H. Grosvenor,
n chairman of the house merchant
marine and fisheries committee.
Alexander r. Smith, of New York. a
former member of the New York Com
merce commission, answers an attack
on the ship subsidy bin which has been
favorably reported to each branch OF
congress. Mr.. Smith openly charges
that the foreign shipping interest1,
aided by the free-traders and other
enemies of American shipping, are
striving with might and main to de-
stroy the one American line now en-
gaging in our trade with Europe. In
his letter Mr. Smith says, in part:
THE assertion that the cream of the
subsidy is designed to fall to those yes
sells of the International Steamship
company Is not only erroneous, hut
seems purposely designed to prejudice
the public against that line-the only
line, by the way, engaged in our trade
with Europe under the American flag.
This line has been singled out for the
most virulent, malignant. end frequent
attacks ever since the shipping bill has
been before the public. 1t has been
asserted, but without a word Of truth,
that 1t Is controlled by the Standard
OIL and the Pennsylvania Railroad
companies. 1t has been pictured as a
part of a monopolistic trust. whereas It
is battling. single-handed AMI alone.

The Philadelphia Platform.

" T is ANNOUNCED in the Wash
ington correspondence of the
Il Philadelphia Press that at a din
ner party given by Senator Han
ma on Saturday night to leading Re-
publcans representing every section
Of the country, the subject of the
Philadelphia platform was discussed
at length, and it's general tenor prac-
tically agreed upon. The Press learns
that it will be in substance as fol-
lows:
First, of course, President McKin-
ley's administration will be highly
commended and the fact will be en-
phasized that all the promises made
by the party at ST. Louis have either
been redeemed or are in process of re-
demption, and the necessity will be
pointed out of continuing Mr. McKin-
ley as president for another four years
to complete this great work The tre-
mendous prosperity Of the country un-
der the Republican party administra-
tion will be contrasted with the bank
rupt condition of affairs under the
Democratic administration. The net
balance OF trade in favor Of the United
States In three years under Republic
can rule has been $1,4OO, 100000. In the
hundred years previous to Mr.. Nc
Kinley's administration the net ball
| ance of trade was only 1911 900, ,000
Such facts as those will be referred to
as proof of what the Republican par
| ty has done for the country.
The treaty of Paris will be approved
as well as the acts OF congress in re-
| gard to our new possessions and an
| expression of determination to take nc
| steps backward, but to carry out the
| policy that the president and congress
have decided upon. The policy of the
tariff will be reaftirmed and the pro.
perou condition of the country under
the wise provisions of the Dingley
| law pointed out. Reciprocity viii

The Crawford County System.

~ HE TRIBUNE never favored
the Crawford county sys-
Il TEN and it takes this occa-
sion to recall that fact to
the attention of some of the systems
original advocates who seem, under
the tuition of experience, to have
changed their early opinion of 1t. We
don't like to say: I'VE told you So"
but 1t is necessary to record in the
interest of historical accuracy that
every assertion which The Tribune has
ever made concerning the Crawford
county systems lack Of adaptability
to population like our own has been
vindicated to the abundant satisfac-
tion of every unprejudiced observer.
1t was heralded as "the poor mans
system; under its operation the man
without a campaign "bar'l' was to
stand on a footing of equality along
side the bloated plutocrat. Yet we
have seen estimates prepared by Re-
publicans originally favorable to the
direct primary system which put the
total expenditure of money during the
campaign ended yesterday at all the
way from $4,000 to $120,OO0. This is
all the more notable coming from the
systems sponsors, and it derives ad-
dltional significance from the fact that
the nomination of candidates means
for those nominated simply a begin
ming of political expenses, which will
continue in greater or less degree up
to the day of election.
What the political effect of the
Crawford county experiment will be
upon the party vote next fall for the
hotly contested offices remains to be
seen. There will be no excuse for de-
feated candidates or their friends to
refuse to support the winners; and in
view of the fact that the Crawford
county system opened the door to
every Republican desirous of running
for office, the result of the primaries
should be accepted in good spirit and
everybody should turn in Loyalty for
the victorious ticket. Yet human ma
tire is human nature; and it is patent
that where there are so many more
candidates than there We're possible
nominations, soreness for a time will
be inevitable. There would be sore
ness under any SYSTEM but probably
not so much as is to be feared under
the present one.
Whether or not at Thursdays con-
ventiOn an attempt will be made to
change back to the delegate system
We do not know. If made 1t must
come from the men who originally
wanted the Crawford system. 1t is
evidently fair that they must assume
the responsibility for continuing or
repeating it.

Legislative.

With 40 candidates on the ticket and
tricts greatly delayed, The Tribune
has found it impossible to prepare
anything like comprehensive table
for this mornings issue. The footings
are given elsewhere from as many
districts as had been heard from at
the time of closing the last form. This
was the best that We could do.

The report of the Free Kindergarten
association, which appears in another
column, is commended to the attention
of the community in which this most
valuable work is conducted The small
assistance thus far given by the Board
of Control to the purpose is already
showing its valuable results. The city
pays for the education of many chill
dren who otherwise would be on the
streets learning the first lessons in
vagrancy and lawlessness. The large
foreign population in this valley and
the tender years at which many of
these children begin a career which
ends in viciousness, if not actual crime,
make it imperative to begin mission,
ary work early. The best missionary
work which can be undertaken in this
region is among the children, and 1t is
to the kindergarten We must look for
such efforts. The Free kindergarten
association should be given unstintei
praise for the work it has accom-
plished. 1t should be understood that
the city appropriation is only given on
the condition that the association con.
tinues to support the two kindergar-
tens which it has in charge. The apr
preparation from the school board APP
plies to the two others which have been
mentioned.
