MRS. ne.ant Against Moral Code.

0ATbs AbeSdAuu AEAhnSu MOEM1 SOucs "
In her address before the t~wenty-frst
annual convention of the American sec
ton Of the Theosophical Society 4 Chi
cago, Mrs. Annie Besant, the new world
president of the organization, took q pro-
nounced stand against the adoption Of a
fixed moral code, and against the impose
tion of penalties by the society, for any
individual action. She held that The
~osophists are at one in their desire t
raise the moral tone of society, and they
differ only as to whether their ideas
should be enforced by penalties. For her-
self, she would stand for the affirmation
of their ideals and for efforts to live up
to them. She said ~ appeal to the un-
folding divinity in man, and not to the
beggarly elements of c~oercive laws; y
gladly affirm my brotherhood with the
lowest, as I reverently hope to be ac-
cepted as brother by the highest" She
said further that none Of the great re-
ligions had a penalty enforcing its com
mandments by exclusion, but, on the con-
trary, they regarded it as a primary duty
to try to improve their evil-doers. She
thought the Theosophical Society would
not wish to copy the example of those
churches which employ heresy trials and
accommodations. Such a code would
be the denial of brotherhood. In illustrate
ing her point of view in one of her talks,
Mrs. Besant used the personality of Job
D.. Rockefeller as an example, saying that
in his next incarnation he would probably
reappear as a highly developed and per-
fected individual; in fact, almost an
angel. She explained that he would prob
ably retain all of his capacity for doing
things, and slough off the baser motives
and aims %actuating his present career.
The society voted by a large majority
against the proposed code.

DROP IN STOCK PRICES.
The Farmer Is Getting Richer and
tho Spccn1ntor Poorer.

tho "SpCcUIntOr Poorer.
Wheat and corn are going UP and
stocks are going down, writes William
q. Curtis in the Chicago Record Herald.
The farmer is getting richer and the spec
ulator poerer-which many people will
agree is in the line of eternal justice.
Stocks are lower now than they have been
for several years. They are now down
practically where they were at the time
of McKinley's election, when The Era of
Prosperity" set in. The decline has been
general, affecting almost everything in the
list of securities available to the public,
and Wall street statisticians declare that
the total shrinkage amounts to at least
S3,5OO,OOO 900. But the value of the
property these stocks represent, and their
earning capacity has not been impaired.
In most cases the dividends will not be
affected; the ~shrinkage only represents
water that has been squeezed out and the
spectators are practically the only suf-
ferers. The permanent investor who has
locked his certificates up in a tin box and
put them away in the safe deposit vault Is
not likely to suffer from the present
shrinkase. His property Is worth just as
much as it ever was, but the certificates
no longer have the fictitious value given
them by the gamblers.
The slump is by TO means confined to
New York or to American securities. 1t
has been general all over the world. Brit
ish, French, German, Italian, Indian and
South American shares have suffered a
marked decline, although in no case has
it been so sharp as may be seen in the
quotations of American industrials. Lon
don and Northwestern railroad stock has
dropped twenty-five points, shares in the
copper mines OF Spain AVE fallen twenty
four points, those Of the Great Eastern
railway of England are twenty points
bower than they We're at the beginning
Of this year. British ~consols have drop
ped 5 per cent japanese, Chinese, Rus
sian, South African, Egyptian and Indian
railway securities and government bonds
have all fallen off from 3 to 20 per cent,
while South African mining stocks are p
per cent below the quotations for Jan. 2,
1907. French railway and bank stocks
have sympathized with the general de-
preston and in Germany the same condi-
lions prevail. The stock of the Bank OF
France and the Credit Lyonnais of Paris.
which are among the strong institutions
in the world, sympathize with less val
liable securities and show a decline of
several per cent. Therefore American in
vestors should not feel at all uneasy, but
should congratulate themselves that by
this universal shrinkage they have es-
capped the perils of a local panic.

WHY JAPAN WANTS NO WAR.

Japan's national debt is 81, 100. 700. 900,
a sum equaling almost one-seventh of her
total national wealth. Of this amount

abroad for carrying on the wars with

600. 900 annually. To meet this debt,
principal and interest, and to provide for
her running expenses, Japan has a reve-
nue.. estimated. for the present year, at
S3OS, 227, 900, derived in large part from
direct taxation on land, incomes, business,
mining, customs, sugar, bourses. etc. The
fact that this estimate exceeds that Of
1904 by $144,494, 600 affords a striking
illustration of the increasing strain upon
the taxpayer in paying the cost of wars.
Furthermore, there has been ar increase
in the annual pension expense of Japan OF
from $15,OO0,OOO to S1S,C00,0OO during
the past tive years. Another war would
mean more interest charges, increased
pensions and heavier taxes upon a people
already overburdened with war debt.
Japan could not hope to prosecute a
war against the United States with less
expense than tihC OF ner struggle against
Russia. even if she were successful in OBJ
tanning the necessary funds for onduct-
ing the conflict. 1t will be recalled that
her 40-year 3 per cent bonds for her
$115.O00,OOO loan in London and Paris
last March brought only 99h, whereas
gilt-edged, 40-year, . per cent investment
securities ought to bring more than par.
If it is true that the money markets de-
termine wars in these days it is clear
that war. between the United States and
Japan is not among the possibilities of the
immediate future.
