WALL STREET TAKES NOTICE.


New York, Aug. 21.--Considerat
Of political character governed Tues
days stock market almost to the ex-
clusion Of all other things. Secretary
Taft's speech, which Wall street chose
to regard as the keynote" Of the next
national campaign, and President
Roosevelt's Provlncetown address,
were practically the sole topics Of
discussion in financial and speculative
circles. There was naturally much
conflict Of opinion as to the signifl-
canoe of these important utterances.
The situation was further complicated
by the presidents supplementary re-
marks In which he made direct refer
ence to existing financial conditions
and declared with much emphasis that
for the remainder of his tenure Of Of
fee the governmental pelicy with re-
gard to the prosecution of offending
trusts and corporations would be UNI
changed. Business on the local ex-
changes was hating and uncertain
all through the early session and
operations were again in moderate
volume. The undertone was uncer-
tain but the fact that the market be-
came dull on all marked recessions
was regarded as a favorable sign.
London seemed disturbed at the tone
Of Secretary Taft's speech.

SIGN OF AUTHORITY
WHAT THE MACE MEANs TO As
sEMBLED CONGRESS.
Insignia 10 Of the Most Ancient and
Honorable orIgin--Was First
Used Under the Roman
Republic.

1 g
| At the right Of the speakers desk
in the hall of the house of represen.
tatives in the capitol at Washington
stands a large cylindrical pedestal
made of highly polished green marble.
When the house is called to order
each day the sergeant-atarms, or one
Of his deputies, places upon this pedes-
tai the mace, which is the symbol OF
authority in the house. When the
body adjourns, says st. Nicholas, he
removes 1t, and keeps 1t in safety until
the house meets again.
This mace is Of very ancient and
honorable origin. Under the old Ro-
man republic, the magistrates passed
on foot from one place to another, ad-
ministering justice. trying public Of
tenders and imposing penalties.
Each of these magistrates was at
tended by small body Of men known
as ictors, whose duty it>Was to make
way for the officers of the law, pre-
serve order, make arrests and infict
PuAipuAcAt vi COnucuuou CilAAOhS'
Each of these lictors carried with
him bunch Of rods tied together with
thongs, and having an AK bound to
the outside Of it. The thongs were
used for beheading. Sentences Inn
posed by the magistrates were at once
carried out.
These bundles Of rods were known
as fasces. When the magistrates
passed along the thoroughfares the
lictors preceded them, bearing the
fasces alo6t, and the assembled citi-
zens Immediately made way for them.
When any disorder arose nearby,
the lictors appeared with the fasces,
upon the sight Of which quiet was In.
stantly restored. No Roman citizen
ever ventured to question the author
ity Of this emblem.
/, When the Romans conquered Brit
ain the use Of the fasces as a symbol
was brought with them, and like many +,
other Roman customs remained with
the British people.
While 1t was no longer used for In.
nicting punishment It continued to be
used as symbol by the early nglish
magistrates, and when an officer ap.
peared carrying the fasces his au-
thority> was Immediately accepted by
all. It was, In effect, his badge Of Of
fee.
The English form Of the fasces was
slightly changed in that the az was
placed inside of the bundle of rods.
with blade protruding from the top.
The great councils of the early Sax
ozs gradually devsioped into one gem
eral body, which in the fourteenth
century became known as the house
Of commons In all these earlier
councils the use of the fasces was con-
tinued, but it then came to be known
as the mace, which has remained az
the emeblem Of legislative authority
IN that body down to the present day.
The house of representatives of the
United States was modelled closely
after the house of commons by the
ramers of our constitution and the
isageSof the mace was borrowed from
he English custom.
The first mace adopted by the
louse was destroyed BY fire when the
British burned the capitol in 1914.

'Clinging to the face of the rock,
looked down. The ice slopes were
turning yellow in the cold early even
ing light. But far below they were
hidden by mists, which even as we
looked seemed to gather volume and
to roll onward and upward, threaten
ing to engulf us. The sky was laden.
AS we made the ledge a gust OF wind
almost swept us from our foothold.
The snow fell more thickly; it came, 1t
seemed, from every quarter in an in
slant.
1--WE had made the ledge in safety,
but even as we looked about us the
mist enveloped us. 1t was impossible
to see more than a few yards ahead.
Still We struggled on slowly and me-
chanically. Rocks, which in ordinary
circumstances would have seemed
quite easy, suddenly appalled, us; for
we were unable to see where to put
hand or foot.
Even to my inexperienced eyes we
were in terrible predicament. VIII
loughby. however, was cheerful and
confident. If he had misgivings he
kept them to himself. l followed him
hlindly.
Suddenly to our complete dismay
the descent was cut off by precipice,
the rocks on either side falling almost
sheer to the glacier beneath. Further
attempt was useless that night. Even
Willoughby acknowledged that. There
was nothing for it but to bivouac for
the night, and trust for better luck on
the morrow.
1T is impossible for me to describe
for you the sufferings of that terrible
night We gathered such stones as
we could find on the narrow mountain

against the biting wind. We consumed

a Delay That Is Not Dangerous.

Another revulsion in business must
occur before it will be popular TO talk
about reduction of the tariff. although
the advantages to be gained by such
4 reduction are seen plainly enough
by all the thoughtful men. Such an
interruption in industrial activity and
in what is called prosperity is unlike
Ny TO take place until after 1908. Per-
haps it may be possible to conduct the
presidential campaign of 1912 on the
tariff reform issue. Hartford Times.
There is in this, as it seems to us,
more than the average wisdom dis
played by Democratic newspapers
when dealing with the tariff question:
certainly far more astuteness than is
exhibited by Mr.. Cleveland in urging
that tariff reform" be made the para
mount issue of the Democratic party
in 1908. Revulsion in business will
come soon after the Republican party
undertakes tariff revision downward.
Then will it be possible for the Demo
Gratis to conduct the presidential cam
yaign on the tariff reform issue.
AMI with an excellent chance of sue
cess, too. The Times is right The
Democrats will fare better if they
stand back awhile and give the Re-
publican party a chance to Burn its
fingers with tariff reduction.
