Prosperity Begins All
Over The Country.

New York, Nov. IA flood Of
buying orders which had poured
in on brokers during the night
sent prices soaring on the Stock
Exchange today and brought
scenes of activity on the floor the
like of which had not been witness
ed in many months. So strong was
the bullish sentiment that in some
instances prices jumped upward
points at a time on single sale.
The readiness with which pur-
chases were made at advance fig
ures indicated that many buying
orders had been placed practically
without limitation in price.
New Yerk Central rose 5 points
on a few purchases, and United
States Steel, by short spurts,
forced itself up to 554, the highest
prices ever touched by that stock.
Many other prominent stocks rose
ond 2 points over last nights
closing.
There was no definate single
piece of news to account for the ex-
treme activity, but speculation ap-
parentIy was stimulated by reports

HIDING THINGS

Whats the matter with the opponents of William H. Taft anyway? Here his presidential boom has been increasing for several weeks and no one has yet come forward to tell about his having cheated in game of marbles at the age of years or having been caught with some stolen apples under his blouse at the age of 10 years g months and 2S days. He was guilty ill both cases, no doubt. Why do the supporters of the various favorite sons allow the people to he caioled into believing that this man Taft is fit subject for the presidency? He isn't. He is pulling the wool over their eyes. He is hiding things from public view that would knock his chances sky high if they knew about them What nerve he displays in ask ing for their support with this terrible unirch on his character, this indelible stain on his name. And it is further stated that he once took part in amateur theatricals. All this may spoil his chances of nomination but the, public is entitled to know the history of a man who would ask them to exert the right of franchise in his behalf. His life should be to them as an open book.

The Garden Season

The attention of housewives is just now directed to the opening of the garden season, and the March Woman s Home Companion contains an excellent article by Samuel Armstrong Hamilton on the subject. Among the many valu- able pointers given out by MT. Arm strong we quote:
 "The seedlings which have been started for early use in February will need attention this month. No matter where they may be growing-in house, hotbed, cold frame or greenhouse-they must be cooled off little, as the outside air moderates, or they will grow toe rapidly. It must be kept in mind that the ideal seeding is one which is short and stoclzy, excepting the young of trail ing plants. Give them plenty of fresh air on pleasant days, and toward the latter part of the month, if the season is a forward one, they can be allowed to air all day, being covered at night Avoid check from any cause, but grow them slowly from this on."

East Canaan's loss is Canaan's gain.
 We stated last week it was a number of years since both furnaces here were shut down together. We now under staud it is the first time since the F. R. Co. has had possession. They have had them since May 1sJ 1864.
 A new league has been in the process of formation here called the "Loafers Union." The principal rules being two meals per day, two bottles of beer and no treating. The organizer struck a job and went to work, so we suppose the "union" is failure.

PRICES MUST DROP

The New York Commercial Bulletin sAys that high prices must take drop. that only by lower prices and lower wages can production be stimulated.
 In the situation into which the in- dustries and business of this country have been brought by past overdoing and misdoing there is but one way of giving an impulse to a renewed and healthy activity. That way is to reduce the cost of production and of the distri- button of products, in order that con- sumption may be stimulated by lower cost of living. To reduce the cost of production there must be lowering of wages and of the price of materials into which the cost of labor enters. The log ical result would be lower prices for the cOnsumable products, which would soon compensate for reduced wages through the lower cost of what wages buy or reduced cost of living. This process of adjustment cannot in the complex situa- ton follow logical order, but there must be simultaneous yielding all along the line, concession in wages and concessions in prices before the effect of a lessened cost of producing has been fully realized. The diminished production is already stubborn fact, compelled by circumstances which neither capital nor labor can control or long resist, though both have contribu- ted to bringing them about.

The testi- mony brought forth the fact that the father spent several thousand dollars in educating the son and when the former became too feeble to earn his own iv- ing the son cast him off and declined to support him. What manner of man can this son be? And yet there are thous- ands of instances of the ingratitude and lack of affection, respect and reverence for parents on the part of sons and daughters. /"Man s inhumanity to man Is not a meaningless platitude. Its truth is demonstrated almost daily and fhe above is an instance.

In New York state bill is before the legislature for the purpose of creating a state board of telegraphers whose duty it shall be to examine and license all candidates for positions as train dis patchers on railroads. The bill grew out of a popular belief that before a man is permitted to take a position of 70 great responsibility as that of train dispatcher, he should be required to dis play evidence of his ability to discharge the duties connected herewith. The railroads object to the passage of such a bill but public sentiment is behind it and it is likely to become law.
