Inauirinp Into the Exchanges

The names of the men selected by Gov
Hughes of New York for membership
in the committee which he has charged
with the responsibility of investigating
conditions and methods in the securities
markets are a guarantee. apparently.
that the work will be performed with
intelligence and with serious purpose.
Some of the developments in Wall
street manipulation and New York high
1nance during the past few years have
seemed to call for investigation and pos
sibly for stringent regulation. On the
other hand, it easily might be possible
to NEEDLE in such a way as to do more
harm than good.
Stock Exchange influences are said to
welcome the inquiry and the likelihood
of legal restrictions on transactions Of
doubtful character, in the hope that these
things will tend to rehabilitate the ey-
change in the minds of the public. 1t
has suffered greatly in prestige during
the past three years.
In the interviews on the subject which
have been reported by the New York
newspapers is one containing the follow
ing remarks attributed TO a former presl-
dent of the New York Stock Exchange:
When mans record is soiled in England
and he has proved himself to he unreliable

on this side is to raise the moral standard

The legitimate functions Of stock eX-
changes are necessary to the transaction
Of modern business. A stock exchange
IS not primarily nor necessarily identi-
fed with gambling. though it deals with
values at times peculiarly subject to
fuctuation. 1t is identified with specu-
lation, and wild speculation often de-
generates into gambling and sometimes
is connected with deliberate over-reach-
ing and deception What goes on upon
the stock exchange depends upon the
character Of the members More rigid
iuSistence upon the good moral character
n its members would naturally tend to
lift the character Of the exchange.

decade ago, and the progress in the Chi
nese capital today. The following is an
extract from his report:
$50 it has come to pass that today
three railways bring their traffic and
broadening influences to the very gate
OF the city. The tinkling camel bells
are gone, their Old World music replaced
by the indefatigable bugling from school
parade grounds and camps. No longer
does the medieval watch patrol the mid
night streets with noise of rattle and
drum; the new police, with their foreign
uniforms, rifles and sentry boxes in every
quarter, have consigned it to oblivion.
Well paved streets, fanked by brick
drains, now connect all of the principal
gates; the paper lanterns that accentu-
ated the darkness of former days have
been replaced by electric light; scayeng-
ing is no longer left to the unaided eff
forts of pariah dogs and pigs; brOugh-
ans and jinrlkiShas ply in the place of
sedan chairs and springless carts, and
public buildings of suitable size and de-
sign are being provided for the various
government offices. Most remarkable of
alias indicating the change i'll social

a purely Chinese enterprise, of which
the citizens are justly proud. A foreign
adviser to the Chinese government is now
driven in an automobile, in company with
a member of the grand council, from the
city to the summer palace, and Chinese
newspapers, printed in the capital, freely
discuss the necessity for constitutional
government. These things, and others
equally remarkable. have come to pass.

"My son Clyde was almost COM

THE WHITE MANS GRAVE.
Sierra Leone Looks Attractive in Spite
of Its Bad Name.

Sierra Leone-known to fame as 'sThe
White Mans Grave"-viewed from the
deck OF an incoming steamer presents an
appearance distinctly attractive.
As to climate, the soubriquet "Whit,
Mans Grave" is sufficiently instructive
Suffice it to say that the first of the
daily regimental orders ran thus: "Funer.
al parade at $50 a. m. tomorrow" and
il was seldom indeed that the parade was
dismissed for lack of a victim to the
pestiferoHs climatic conditions. Indeed
so arduous became the duties of sepul.
,,hre that whereas it was customary in
the beginning for the entire regiment and
band to attend, only the company of the
deceased and the firing party did so later
on.
Sierra Leone is infested with snakes
large and small. The former are of the
constructor species; the latter are all ex.
tremely veaomous. The most deadly of
all perhaps is the yellow Jack, a beauti.
full yellow and black reptile whose bite
is reputed to prove fatal within a space
of twenty minutes.-W estchester County

fering of this kind would be guaran-
tee of friendship. The idea was ad-
vanced by some that generosity toward
the Tokyo fair would be in line with
the presidents policy, which has been
defined rs "speak softly, but carry a
big stick" 1t would also show the
Japanese masses, said advocates of the
measure, that Americans are q very
rich and powerful people, with whom
it would not be we'll to have any
trouble.
The American commission to the Jap
anese exposition Of 1912 is composed Of
Francis B. LOOMS, formerly first as
sistant secretary of state; Frederick J.
V. Skiff, director Of exhibits at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition, and
Francis D. Millet, the well known art
list. Mr.. Loomis was prominent during
the controversy between him and Min
lister Bowen, resulting in the latters
dismissal from his post as United
States representative in Venezuela.
Mr.. LOOMS came out of the contro-
versy better as he was not dismissed,
although his conduct was criticised In
the report Oh the incident. He has
had a varied experience in the diplo-
matte field.
Mr.. Skiff is director of the Field
museum at Chicago and was promi-
nently connected with the Columbian
exposition as we'll as the st. Louis
fair. Mr.. Millet is especially noted as
a mural painter and has won fame also
as illustrator and war correspondent.
The Japanese exposition is under the
auspices Of the government and will
present Japan the opportunity she has
wanted to show that in peace as well
as in war she can achieve great things.
1t is remembered that when the ST.
Louis exposition occurred four years
ago the war between Russia and Japan
was in progress, and Russia withdrew
from participation on that account
But little Japan made an appropria-
ton of 100000 and had one of the
best displays of any nation.
