Wall Street Not Interested in Politics

They say that fewer campaign SOuVe-
Mrs are being sold than at any other
period within the scope of recollection
Earlier in the week several men went
down into the financial district to offer
for sale small flags having prints of
the rival candidates pictures They
remained a day, and then disconsolate,
betook themselves to other regions
regions where the spirit of politics
was more in evidence.
In former years pictures of the par
ticular Office choice for the presidency
were wont to be hung conspicuously
over the stock boards or tickers. This
election year there are not more than
three or four Offices in all the street
where a photograph of Mr.. Taft or Mr..
Bryan is to be seen. On one of the
bulletins on the floor of the produce
exchange pictures of the two candi-
dates were pasted some time ago and
a notice was pinned hereunder re-
questing the members to inscribe their
choice on appended slips of paper So
little interest was evidenced in the
vote that the attempt to get at the no.
litica1 sentiment of the Exchange was
abandoned.
One of the brokers on the stock ex-
change said recently: Take a look
around the lobby and you won't see
any of the readers with their eyes on
the political news. When they're not
reading the financial page they're
reading the baseball news" That
broker was about right, too. -

$4,000.
Since 1866 Uncle Sam has paid out
in pensions $s,6oo,ooo,o00. This is al.

Does Publicity Increase Crime?


Paris has taken a new twist. For q
long time 1t has been urged that the
excessive amount of publicity which
has been given to the crimes of the
Paris Apaches has been responsible
for a great proportion of the violence
which has prevailed in the capital in
recent years. NJ. BRAND, minister Of
justice, has just issued an order pro-
hibiting the police under penalty of Sc
we're punishment from supplying pho
tographs OF noted criminals to the
press. Nor will M. Bertillon of the an
thropometric department be allowed
to give photographs, neither will the
newspaper reporters be permitted to
photograph the bodies of murdered
persons or the rooms in which crimes
have been committed. A former chief
OF the detective department smiles,
and predicts that the new order will
not last three months, for there are
times when the police ind it extreme.
~ difficult to dispense with the aid of
the press. But one thing is certain,
the class known as Apaches has the
upper hand in Paris. They are outlaws
who play to the gallery, and are as full
OF vanity and conceit as of brutality.
The Apache adores the center of the
stage, and will commit any crime to
figure as a hero to his kind.

NOT since 1898 has the total United

MOT since 1898 has the total United
~ States pensioners been so low as
it is at present. This fact is made
known in report by the commission
err of pensions, recently issued, and
the report shows that steady decline
has set in, death cutting heavily into
the ranks in the last year. The 1908
total is 951,6S7, and it was said that
in all probability this will shrink to
100000 within another year.
Four years ago the high water mark
in pensions was reached. For a few
days in August, 1904, there were more
than 100000 persons on the rolls.
These figures, however, do not appear
in the official reports, as the official
record of 1904 gives an average of
only 994,702. There were 99S,441 pen
sioners on the average in 1905, and
then started the downward movement,
which it is expected will become more
