MINING, MARKETS AND METALS

Demand for securities Is almost stag
nant. The professional traders who
would be disposed to operate on the
bear side of the market under these
circumstances are timid about max
ing commitments, owing to the small
floating supply of stocks and the oc-
easional demonstration of the extent
to which unfavorable factors have
been discounted In the price level.
The action in American Locomotive
today served as an object lesson to
bear traders who did not observe
sufficient caution in selling stocks
short.
The declaration of the usual quar-
lerly dividend on that stock proved
an agreeable surprise to some hold
ers and a correspondence unpleas-
ant shock to the bears, who have as
sumed with great confidence that the
dividend was to be reduced or even
passed. The basis for this assump-
tion was the known heavy decline in
traffic of the railroads, their forced
resort to economies and their Sc
lection for first observance of these
of the usual expenditures
for new equipment. Not only have
the railroad equipment companies
suffered from ourtajlment of outlay
for new expenditures, but the finan-
cial disturbances last fall threw into
arrears large amounts of payments
for equipment already delivered. The
success of the new bond flotations by
many of the railroads recently has
served TO relieve somewhat the latter
phase of the troubles of the compa-
MES dealing in equipment. II was
the consideration of these facts that
had driven American Locomotive
down to a price out of line with a
per cent dividend stock. The price
was run up over five points today
when the regular dividend was de-
alared. The strength of American
Car WIS partly in sympathy. notwith-
standing the different policy already
pursued bv that company in reduc-
ton OF the dividend rate. The fnan-

viewed by the annual report also
helped the car company.
The sustaining influence of this
and a few other advances were offset
once during the day by the renewed

Gould group. There was nothing
new to explain the weakness of the

A REPLY TO JUSTlC..

The persistence of religious ideas is
one of the striking phenomena of his
tory. We readily exchange other
sorts of notions Immediately that we
are argued out of them or they are
argued out of us, and we hold that
general liableneSS IL sure sign that
we are progressive men and women.
Not so with religious ideas. Let into
our consciousness early in the I'M,
pressiblc days of childhood, they root
so deep that they become an incorpo-
rate part of us, and take place in us
lis Il sentiment which laughs at reason
or obstinately resists it. And if we
part with some of the religious her
itage with which we are invested
early in life. it is most reluctantly.
Far back in the corner of our minds
some lingering residuum remains
which will assert itself when the Oc-
casion comes or which will often ere
ate its own occasion. And what
is true of the individual is likewise
true of the race or the people. AS
you cannot, by fiat, change human
nature, you cannot, by IL law, sudden
ly change the ideas stubbornly held
of people. 1t is, therefore. not sur
prising that there may Ike difference
between the declared rule of the code
and the actual practice of men by
WHOM and -for-whom that code is
made. The French revolution did not
make new beginning: the social and
religious ideas it pretended to effect
,ially destroy were far from being de-
stroyed: neither if entire freedom
were by law accorded to the Jews of
Russia today would that necessarily
mean that there might not be mas
sacrc II la Kishinctf tomorrow. The
code is usually more highly cultured
than the people.
We may account for the persistence
of the idea that the United States is
Christian country, largely by this
kind of inheritance. which the logic
of our institutions and constitutions
puts to the blush. but which cOntin-
ucs unblushingly upon its course,

Encouragement when our leaders, our
men of culture. our broad minded
men of affairs exhibit narrowness of

particularly surprising when a man of

view which is narrow or sectarian,
and which is opposed to the spirit of
that very instrument under which he
holds his judicial tenure.

Christianity is the key of the Prom

Now, having given in sentence
the scope of the lecture, let us take
up carefully and weigh their asser-
tions. All breathe "A deeply religious
spirit and sincerity which, however
well-intentioned, cannot atone for
what the writer believes to be fun
damental error of view.
The first lecture begins:
''We classify nations in various
ways, as for instance, by their form of
government. One is kingdom.
another an empire, and still another
republic. Also by race. Great Brit
ain is an Anglo-SaXon nation, France
Gallic, Germany Teutonic, Russia
a Slav. And still again by religion.
One is Mohammedan nation, others
are IIeathen, and still others are
Christian nations.
''This republic is classified among
the Christian nations of the world. =
a----l tlse--sststcrness
1t seems to be required that Il nation
shall be classified by race. 1t may
be true that Great Britain is Anglo
Saxon. France Gallic. Germany Teu-
tonic, etc. But may | ask what race
is the United States? The answer is
no race and all races. Our civiliZa-
ton is predominately Anglo-Saxon,
whatever that may mean, but we have
an infusion of almost every blood
under the sun. English. Irish, Scotch,
German, French, Italian. Spanish,
Scandinavian, Slavic, Jewish. Negro
all are represented in this huge caul-
dron of citiZcnry we call America.
There is no necessity of labelling us
as a race; if we are labeled so, the
label must be Il long compound one,
or better, short one, just "Ameri
cam" Indeed, we had thought that
America introduced a new idea into
the world-hithcr would come the OPP
pressed of all bloods; why ask them
about their sufficient if they
would make good Americans. And
Justice Brewer himself recognized
this in his third lecture when he said:
''Certainly to me it is a supreme
conviction growing stronger and
stronger as the years go by, that this
is one purpose of Providence in the
life of this republic, and that to this
end we are to take from every race
it's strongest and best elements and
characteristics and mould and fuse
them into one homogeneous American
life"
But the bad habit of labelling things
requires that nations shall also be
classified by religions. SO we have
Mohammedan, Heather and Christian
nations. BY what law Of nature or
necessity is it required that nations
shall have religion? There was a
time when the Pope required it of the
hands of his liege sovereigns and re
ligion and religious fealty Over-rode
the state entirely, then, as his power
waned, states still required a religion,

was felt by all who desire to hear
the best talent Every city in Oregon
except Baker City has contracted

will be four numbers in the Astoria
course, as follows:

BY special arrangement the League
secures these four high-class attrac-
tions for 500. being considerably less
than the regular price, II is not ex-
pected to make money, but the desire
is that Astoria may hear the best
talent in lectures and concerts. Course
tickets will be sold at $500,
That many will be pleased that the
Young Mems League has arranged
for the Star course for the winter
season may be taken as foregone
conclusion, for these attractions are
really excellent and the price is not
so great as to prevent anyone from
hearing the four entertainments. One
might as we'll be out of the world al
together as never TO hear or see new
things, new ideas, and clever enter
tainments. 1t is probable that the
League will not make much money,
and the young men may be well
pleased if they come out whole, and
it may be looked upon as a
plan to aid in making the
series of entertainments a fine sue
