NEW YORK. May 15.-The stock
market opened irregular with ma
jority OF shares showing improve
ment. Louisville AZ Nashville led the
advance with gain of point. Mis-
souri, Pacific was up 1-2. Baltimore
& Ohio up SIS; ST. Paul, IA; Delaware

unchanged and Southern Pacific down
is. BY the end OF ten minutes trad
ing, the market has receded fraction
ally.
The stock market showed continued
strength and activity at the opening
and during the first hour many stocks
moved up sharply, large number
making gains ranging from one to
over two points. The most promin-
ent feature was the demand for Read
ing, which carried the price Of that
stock up TO III 1-2. new high point
for this movement. and an advance
of 81 over yesterdays close. St Paul
was also strong in the early trading
land there was persistent buying at
advancing prices OF Anaconda and a
number OF other industrials.
The leading railroad shares outside
OF those mentioned were In brisk de-
mand at the established high levels.
but heavy buying In several OF the
market leaders was Offset by equally
large profit taking sales. making their
price movements narrow and leaving
them without decided change In quo
tation at the end of the hour.
The street was full OF stories OF
important developments and pending
or near consummation.
In some cases these rumors were
regarded as having good foundation
and had much TO do with the contin-
ued strength.
Governments unchanged; others

CHURCH rs SLOW TO
DISCOVER MANY EVILS



Most men do desire power and so
most men today are striving 10 be
money rich. These men to obtain
money, resort to craft and cunning,
qualities Of the rat and weasel. but by
no means the highest qualities OF the
human soul. They manipulate the
market, a system Of lying commonly
called advertising. and control the leg
1slntures. resorting TO getting all you
can and keeping all you get. II
means every man for himself and the
devil take the hindmost. II is simply
organized selfishness.
Luxury Worse Than Poverty.
I'VE shall never be able 10 drive
away the great bulk of drunkenness
until we drive away poverty. The
painted women are at their nefarious
business because they must choose be-
tween that and poverty. Poverty Is
the cause of most OF our social evils.
The church must get back to the
teachings OF Jesus Christ Luxury is
worse than poverty. Poverty means
having too little for the best manhood
and luxury means having too much for
the best manhood. The vices OF pow
erfy and the vices of luxury are al
most identical. The vices OF both are
drunkenness, the social evil and crime,
and they must be eliminated in some
way"
The Rev. Frank l. Paradise, of Med
! ford, Mass, declared that religion had
been slow TO discover many OF the
evils. especially the fact of child la.
bor.
N'We cannot shut our. eyes to the
\ victims OF the social cruelties," he

Lieutenant Colonel h. G. Cavenaugh,
U. s. A., has finished the annual in
spection Of the Organized Militia Of
Delaware, which he has to make every
year for the government to see that the
organization is up to the standard set
for-th militia by the War Department.
He will now compile his report and
forward it to Washington. This report
will not be made public. While the
inspecting officer has made no state
ment regarding the condition in which
he found the several organizations Of
the regiment, it is a fact that this in
spection found the regiment In much
better condition than ever before, and
practically every officer and man was
present, the two few exceptions being
in cases Of men i'll or employed out Of
State. Recruiting is progressing very
encouragingly, and there is every iDdi-
cation Of the regiment takir g the field
with itsquOta in July, when 1t encamps
at RehobOth. The recruiting usually
stops few months befoI, the organi
cation goes int camp, tat as yet no
date has been set for this year.

A Correction.

We received this week the following
letter which will explain itself, 1t reads
Gentlemen II want to contradict the
writing in the Chronicle of April 10th,
in regard to Mr.. Schrum, my husband.
He did not attempt to shoot me, neither
was he enraged because he was dissap-
pointed in selling his farm there has
been no deal made with anyone for its
sale. So far he is in no hurry to sell if
he gets his health and strength back. He
was very nervous the night in question,
which was caused by his illness. l did
not call for help; simply sent for Dr.
Samson to quiet his nerves. l don't see
where the writer got his information he
certainly got it from a very unreliable
source, and should be more careful what
he writes for newspaper, as it some
times causes trouble. l have not inter-
viewed DR.. Samson, but am sure that he
is not the source for any such a state
ment as was written.
Yours respectfully, Mrs. ScHRUM.
The above would indicate that some
one who thought it a funny thing to
wound the feelings of others, or make
correspondent appear ridiculous, has inn
posed a statement on the correspondent;
who has faithfully reported the happen
ings of Glendale for more than quarter
of a century. People who deliberately
lie for the purpose of injuring others, are
very undesirable in any community. A
newspaper is intended to tell Of the hap
penings of a neighborhOOd cOncisely aud
truthfully, and a correspondent must rely
largely upon the veracity of those who
give them information. Lies may be
funny to the one who tells them but we
notice that they never print their names
to the lie. Our correspondent has been
imposed upon in this instance.
