MONEY AND BUSINESS

An absence OF investment buying and un-
willingness on the part of the public to purchase
stocks at current prices have made bear attacks
upon values successful at a time when certain
features of the business situation are working
temporarily in favor OF a lower range Of quota
tions. AS q consequence Of the speculative SELL
ing of the last week a large amount OF weakly
margined stock has come upon the market. the
short interest has been materially increased and
the general technical position of securities has
been strengthened. though prevailing indications
suggest that a more radical readJustment in the
level OF values will be necessary before idle cap
itai will be willing to find employment in large
amounts in the greater number of railway and
industrial shares. New investment obligations
appear almost daily in the bond market. and.
while underwriters Of mortgage issues readily
dispose OF their wares. the pressure OF offerings

TAFT TO ASK
FOR REPEAL OF
SHERMAN ACT
BY GILSEN GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 81
The possibility that the supreme
court of the United States will up
hold the decision of the lower court
dissolving the Standard Oil COM
pany has aroused President Taft
to pitch wherein he is seriously
contemplating message to con-
gress asking for a modification of
the Sherman antitrust law.
Friends of the administration,
equally solicitous in behalf of
business" but endowed with a
keener political sense, are urging
the president to wait until a more
propitious time, so that the easy
going, peace loving president is in
a dilemma between the horn of
business and the horn of politics
Whether he sends or withholds the
message is of comparatively small
import, because the country at
large in any event will recognize
his conflicting sentiments and ap-
preciate the struggle of clashing
emotions.
Bows to Business.
The important feature of Presi-
dent Taft's predicament is that it
adds more and more confirmation
to the public's belief that he is q
devout and even fanatical worship
er at the shrine OF business For
business he has builded all his
affairs, and at the shrine of bust
ness he makes his 9enufeXions,

The Sherman antitrust law
hurts--hurts business. Not the
business of ones, Smith or Brown
but the business of the Standard
Oil and kindred corporations that
have been nur5ed on special priv.
leges at the expense of the people
This nursing has gone on so long
that even a man whom we have
elected president looks upon 1t as
an inalienable right. The Sher
man law is unexpectedly found to
answer the purposes for which II
was enacted-to curb the preda
tory instincts OF such interest as
the Standard Oil. The high courts
of the land, to the establishment OF
many, are UNFOLDING its constitu
tienality, and for once in a genera
ton there is chance that the pub
lie will may be done by public
servants.
And from the dim, nebllops, al
most forgotten past the strainine
ear of memory seems to catch 8
faint, tremulous echo, a whisper or
dying breeze, soft breath OF g
promise concerning the carrying
out of certain policies.
1t comes from the days before
the apostacy of William Howard
Taft, before he ran after the
strange god of Business.

QUERY: HOW WOULD !.
YOU COURT A COED?
Question Too Much for Women
Deans of Western Colleges.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-The deans
of women at fourteen Western state
universities, who for two days have
been discussing the proper condi.
tons under which love could be
made to college girls, adjourned
their convention today. The chief
questions were:
What is the proper hour for a
young man to leave when calling
on a coed?
What details of chaperonage
should women deans follow in pilot
ing their girl charges through the
social shoals? III
What attitude should the girls
take toward students who drink
and smoke in public places?
The subject proved too big for a
single convention, and the deans
decided to settle 1t by sending out
a series of questions after they re.
turn home.
They decided in favor of a phys
ical examination for women on en-
tering college and lectures on physi.
ology and hygiene.

the hail. The hailstones are reported
as large as hen eggs. The hail in the

Letters to The Commercial.

We would like to say to Uno and to
a number of little girls endeavoring to
correspond for The Commercial that we
appreciate their efforts to supply us
with news, but there are a number who
do not seem to understand what it takes
to constitute items of interest to news
paper, or rather county paper. Names
are essential, of course, but continu-
GUS view OF community names from
week to week, who are just a'calling
from one house to another, is not de-
sirable and to many readers becomes
tiresome. We would like to have your
letters, but would like more genuine
news. If you have visitors in your
community, who are strangers, state
where they are from, and if your neigh
bors leave home, state where they go,
but do not fill up your letters with reg
ular everyday exchange of visits between
neighbors That is not news. Give
us your church meetings, your mar
riages, parties, sickness, deaths, acct
dents, organizations and personals in
the manner we have indicated, but do
not send in letter with nothing but
every day walking across-to-th e-neigh
bors'. This explains why a number of
letters have been revised and shortened.
