speculate with ample safeguard of margin,
and which should be kept sacred to the
support of their families, and for members
of Congress and other public officials, whose
hands ought to be kept free from specula-

interest in the proceedings Of Congress and
the policy of the Treasury Department Is
very large. Professor James Bryce in his
american Commonwealth says that there
has been no case OF a Secretary of the
Treasury being improperly influenced by
speculative consideration. 1t would also
be difficult to prove that members of Con-
gress are influenced by speculative opera
tons. but certainly not few senators and
representatives subject themselves to sus-
picion when they are seen lounging in Wall
street brokers' Offices At times also the
business by wire from Washington Is no
inconsiderable factor in the market.
Women ought to keep out of the stock
| market Women often are willing to take
larger risks then men, and are easily led
into gambling, but they are generally bad
losers. and when brokers take their ac-
counts they sometimes have trouble with
them. There are, however some firms that
do quite business with women.
An Evil Seldom Thought of.
Another evil of speculation has not been
often, If ever before alluded to such. But
when stocks are held for speculation only
there Is an absence of responsibility on the
part of the stockholders which is a source
of weakness to the corporation and the
public. In the case of stocks active in the
market large proportion of the shares is
sued-some times a majority-are constantly
changing ownership. They are in the hands
of one person today and of another tomor-
row or next week. There is no permanence
of interest on the part of their holders
Then. as a matter of fact, these temporary
owners of stocks rarely see them. They
are held by their brokers, and in many
cases appear on the books of the company
issuing them in the names of the broke. s..
There have been cases when in close con-
tests for control there has been such a de-
mand for proxies that brokers holding
stock in their own name for the account
of a customer have sold their proxies to
the highest bidder. A permanent investor
in corporation is more apt to feel per-
sonal and continuous interest in it. The
spectators interest ceases the moment the
price reaches point where he can sell at
the desired profit.
Many as are the abuses of speculation.
the uses are still greater, and any nation
that should by law close its stock exchange
would inflict a. blow on business, the last
ing and evil results of which could scarcely
be calculated.

Painting Tomatoes.
From the Chicago Tribune


Time was when Connecticut had to en-
dure much opprobrium, justly or unjustly
for palming off shoe pegs for oats upon ig-
norant horses, and wooden nutmegs for the
real article upon innocent housekeepers,
but the highest achievement Of Connecticut
In these directions seem slight when COM
pared with those of some PhiladeIphians
who have been caught painting green to-
matoes red and other vegetables red. and
then offering them to the public as pure
canned tomatoes" From the utility point
of view, 1t may be claimed that this is
a commendable practice because 1t saves a
lot of worthless green truck from going to
waste. but from a sanitary point of view 1t
may be questioned whether the green stun
which Is unhealthy Of ITSELF is much Inn
proved by an addition of red paint From
the esthetic point of view 1t may be OBJ
jected that artistic people do not care to
have their vegetables hand painted. They
will regard 1t just as 'wastefuI and ridicu-
lous excess Ito gid refined gold to
paint the lily and to throw q perfume on
the violet" There are too many things be-
ing painted red in this country, as 1t is The
green tomatoes might be spared.

MANY SOLDIERS MONUMENTS.
Being Built as a Result of an Act Of
the Pennsylvania Legislature.

From the Philadelphia Press
Under act OF the legislature of 1901
there is quite an epidemic of soldiers mon
uments building throughout the state The
advantages offered by the act are Just be-
ginning to be understood and taken ad-
vantage Of Every county seat not now
provided with a suitable soldiers monu-
'ment is pretty certain to have one within
a few years.
The act in question was prompted by the
fact that in a number of counties the eff
fort to raise sufficient amount of money
by private subscription to erect memorials
to the dead of the war of the rebellion had
failed. Considerable amounts had been
contributed in some instances, but not
enough, as was the case in Delaware coun-
ty, where monument completed at the
expense of the county was dedicated few
weeks ago. The project had been in hand
many years. and 1t is doubtful If 1t would
ever have been finished If the county had
not been authorized to come to the rescue.
In other instances, soldiers memorials have
been incumbered, but the obligation can
now be lifted by the county out of the
county moneys, and has been in several
cases
Nnder the terms Of the act it is neces-
sary for at least fifty citizens of the coun-
ty to petition the court of quarter sessions
for the erection completion of a monu-
ment or to pay debts heretofore contracted
for the erection and construction of such
monument By the court the matter is
laid before the grand jury. and If approved
by two successive grand turies and the
court the county commissioners shall be
authorized to pay any and all debts con-
tracted for the erection of a monument, to
complete 1t or to erect a new one, and
maintain at the county seat suitable
monument to the soldiers and sailors of
the rebellion. There is no reason under
such a law why any county should long
be without proper memorial to the pa
triotism and bravery Of those who offered
their lives for their country.
Nor is it likely any county which does
not now have a monument will fail to take
advantage of the opportunity offered. II
any has not already done so, 1t is because
the enabling act has not become well UNI
derstood. The finances of a county must
be in desperate condition indeed to COM
pei the authorities to refuse appeal
from old soldiers for a memorial to their
departed comrades. 1t Is doubtful II there
is county in the commonwealth in any
such straits, and in every instance the ex-
penditure of a reasonable sum for such
purpose would certainly have popular ap-
prevail.
All over the state the work is in progress
and in a short time Pennsylvania will have
the distinction which no other state en-
joys, of having public memorial to its
soldiers and sailors at every county seat.
These monuments should be erected under
intelligent and artistic direction.

Green River. Gienwood Springs and Dem
The car encountered all kinds Of grades,
snow, sand hills. rocky places and all the
other incongruous conditions OF the eartl'a
surface in the far west which tend to make
travel other than by rail a displeasure of
the worst kind.
Along the Spanish Fork in Utah Fitch
and his companion were compelled to use
brush to prevent the wheels from sinking
into the swamps. Through canons. over
boulders. fording streams the car pushed
its way along.
The men who undertook this hazardous
journey send word to the east that they are
confident of making 1t successful, and that
in due time the car that left the Pacific
coast In June will hum along busy Broad
