If this is true, the start must have
tended and the market has run away
with them. 1t seems more probable,
however, that the prospect of punitive
prosecution has frightened large in
vestors. and that they have precipi-
tated the trouble by unloading at any
figure they could get. The decline has
shaken out the innumerable small
spectators who were carrying stocks
on margins which they could not main
tain; and the sacrifice of their holdings
to satisfy banking demands has aided
in the general slump.
On top of these conditions has come
series of strikes that have agitated
the whole country. Chief of these, of
course, is the widespread strike Of the
telegraphers which seems destined to
paralyze business everywhere. Specu-
latOrs are the greatest towards in the
world, and their innate timidity is gem
uine panic when they have to act in
the dark. With no telegraphic quota
tons the big operators are as helpless
as a man lost in the woods They
have nothing to guide them, and no
means of securing action unless they
can be wherever their investments are.
Whether it be stocks or bonds or wheat
or iron, the man doing business with
out wire at his disposal might as
well play faro for all the certainty
there is to his results.
Where chaos threatens the average
mass of men hastens the chaos by
their own precipitate fright and desire
to escape the unseen. There is very
little difference between the awful
nightmare of a boy who has eaten too
much pie, and the visions of the ordi-
nary business man who has to conduct
big operations without the aid of the
telegraph. So intimately have the
wires become bound up with the every
day conduct of human affairs that they
are the very arteries of commercial
life; and the cessation of telegraphy is
a good deal like the stoppage of ar
terial circulation.
Just what the outcome Of the strikes
may be none can foretell; but it is GER
tain that the shock of a sudden cessa-
ton of business in every department
the country over viii be serious enough
to be felt in it's effects for many a day
to come. Substantial securities will
probably regain something like their
normal value; but speculation will be
curtailed, thousands will suffer ire
coverable losses; large undertakings
involving the outlay of huge sums of
new capital will be abandoned; indi-
rectly every individual citizen will be
hurt to some extent.
Since there is no escaping the strikes
about all the disinterested citizen can
do is to pray that the strife may be
short and that his share of the COM
mon loss may be reduced to a mimi
mum.

SoUTH IS GOING DRY.

In a recent number of Harper's
Weekly, Edward Lissner writes of local
option and prohibition in the south.
Some of the figures he presents will
surprise many people who have been
under the impression that the south is
the land Of the flowing bowl. Mr.. Liss-
ner shows that in a large percentage
of the southern states the sentiment in
favor of prohibition is overwhelming.
For example:
In Kentucky ninety out of 119 coun-
ties are dry" Memphis, Nashville
and Chattanooga are the only cities in
Tennessee in which it is possible to
purchase alcoholic beverages at Ii
censed saloons. Ninety Texas counties
enforce prohibition; practically all of
the rural districts of North and South
Carolina and Mississippi. The latest
state to join the prohibition ranks is
! Georgia, the legislature there having
recently passed an act that prohibits
the sale of intoxicants in any part of
! the commonwealth.
Now there are those who say that in
prohibition counties and states more
! intoxicants are drunk than were drunk
during the period when the sale was
permitted. If Mr.. Lissner's statistics
are founded on fact, this is far from
being the case. He gathers figures
from the records of Knoxville, Tenn,
that are worthy of reproduction, as
follows:

Department of Agriculture Takes First Step
in Prosecution of Rectifers.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau !

Washington, Nov. AT the instigation of the
Board of Food and Drug Inspection the Depart
ment of Agriculture forwarded to-day thirty
three cases against whiskey rectifers TO the
Department of Justice. in order that the contro-
versy between the rectifiers and the board may
be settled.
For some time negotiations have been carried
on between the Department of Justice and the
rectifers in an endeavor TO agree on test case.
The negotiations were fruitess. however and
the Department of Agriculture has taken hand
in the matter by giving the names Of the recti-
fiers whom ii wishes prosecuted.
The progress OF these cases viii be watched
with interest, as the outcome will determine
whether or not whiskey comes under the food
and drug inspection in the matter of labels. II
will also lead TO a definition of what whiskey
is, considered from a pure food point of view
