Slump In Wall STREET.
Again, every time that there is a fall in
the prices of stocks in Wall street those
who are injuriously affected condemn the
president with great bitterness as respon-
sible for their losses. Just at present
there has been a very serious depression
in the values of marketable securities,
and it is said that the presidents atti-
tude toward corporations has been the
cause of this. Such critics fail to observe
that there has been a similar decrease in
the marketable value not only Of rail-
way stocks, but of government consols
abroad, and that there is stringency in
the markets of the world. But more than
this, if the prosecution of dishonesty and
illegal practices, like the giving and TAX
ing of rebates and the destruction of COM
petition by monopoly, is to injure the
market for stocks on the stock exchange.
then this is burden that must be borne
and must be charged not to the head of
the nation, whose duty it is to enforce the
law, but to the violators of the law whose
pursuit of criminal methods has been so
successful and far reaching as to make
their prosecution a serious threat against
the stability of the market 1t is not true
that the president is engaged in raid

Other Matters.

while helping associations In various parts
of the country to secure buildings, Mr.
Ward has developed plan, called the
"short-terrn" plan. which has proven
more successful by uniting the associa-
ton forces OF city for a limited time.
In this way Mr.. Ward has been authoriz-
ed by the international committee to give
all of his time to this one line of effort,
with the result that during the past year
he has raised something over 100000.
He receives only the regular salary of
the International secretary.
a pamphlet showing the progress of the
Richmond association and the urgent need
of larger facilities is being prepared, and
will be issued to-day. Other literature
will be circulated from time to time as
occasion may require.
special letter read with the names of
the principal executive officers directing
the campaign is in use at headquarters.
How They Got 1t.
The perseverance of the local officers
! and workers of the Y. NJ c. A. and the
friendly attitude of the United States
government toward the association
through its officials were indicated by
the efforts made to secure the Shafer
Building as headquarters during the CAM
paign to raise the 10000 for the new
building. Weeks ago. when 1t was am
ticipated that the time for the beginning
of the movement was not far distant, Mr..
S. *. Mckee, the general secretary Of
the Richmond association. began looking
around for suitable location. where the
energies of the campaign should be con-
contracted First OF all was required a
building centrally located. That was
not difficult matter to decide. but Mr..
Mckee exercised foresight and wanted
an environment that would in itself be
of assistance in the campaign 1t did
not take him long to see an ideal posi-
ton on the first floor of the Shafer Build
ing. which. with its plate glass front,
would invite investigation from passing
pedestrians, who would note the un-
wonted activity inside of what had been
an unoccupied structure.
However, the building has been pur-
chased by the United States government
but recently, and Uncle Sam Is very slow
| to grant any special privileges to organi-
| cations as we'll as to individuals. espe-
cially without the exercise OF patience
| and more or less of necessary red tape.
| Mr. Mckee first approached the custo-
| dian, Mr.. Jos. B. Stewart and started
| the machinery that would lead to Wash
| ington. After earnest effort he was in
| formed that the building could not be Sc
| cured for the purposes desired. Mr.. Stew
| art was required by the government to
| occupy the building as the place now
occupied by him was wanted for the
Judge Of the United States Court. The
| interest of the association workers be-
| came more intense as the difficulties in
| creased A committee, composed of
Messrs. Frank I. sutton. Jas. W. Gordon,
| C. S. Ward and S. X. Mckee then waited
| on Mr.. Stewart and tho United States
| Judges. and arranged to have the matter
| again taken UP at Washington. Hon.
| Edmund Waddill, Jr.. one of the judges,
wished to assist the committee in every
way possible, and wrote 4 strong letter
