She's been going to farewell parties

GREAT PROSPERITY OF THE
STEEL TRADE.

The prosperous condition Of the steel
trade of the country is indicated by
the action of the directors of the United
States Steel Corporation in raising the
dividend on the common stock from a
3 per cent TO "a per cent basis. 1t
NAV also be said that business gener-
ally now approXimates the records Of
1906 and the first half of 1907, which
were the banner years in the history
of the United States.
That the action Of the Steel directors
was justified is evidenced by the
statement OF earnings for the quarter
ended September 30, which showed a
surplus applicable to dividends on the
common capitalization at the rate OF
y per cent a year. This is decidedly
the best showing this company has
made since 1907, and furnishes strong
evidence that this branch of industry
has completely recovered from the long
period Of depression.

Wool, cotton, silk, fbers, hides and

THE LIBERAL DEFEAT IN
LONDON.

The Bermondsey division Of South
wark, London, held an election yester-
dav TO choose a member of the house
Of commons. The unionists won by a
substantial plurality over the liberals;
but had the liberal and socialist can
didates been able to add their strength
together they would have won by a
fair margin
The opposition TO the Lloyd-George
budget accepts the result Of this poll
ing as a very significant indication that
London is opposed TO the budget, and
that it viii be perfectly safe for the
peers to reject it and rely on an appeal
to the country.
The reasoning Is only specifically
sound. The Bermondsey election has
simply demonstrated that the division
of the progressive strength between
socialists and radicals VIII be ruinous.
1t VIII mean that the progressive forces
win be defeated soundly in the general
elections in January. unless they get
together
without doubt the peers are going
now TO reject the budget. Mr.. Lloyd
George. Bir Churchill, and the rest OF
the radical liberals, viii have TO carry
the burden OF responsibility for the fate
Of their party. They viii not overlook
the necessity Of consolidating thei,
forces. They viii be driven to make
such concession to the socialist ard
labor parties as viii make possible the
election of pro budget ma ority. They
can accomplish this only by careful
management with the purpose Of con
soiidating their strength III each con-
stituency. Ia the 1905 election the
liberals were pretty successful in this,
and they should be able TO repeat IL in
1910 II is bvno means unlikely that
the Bermondsey result may point the
way for salvation Of the liberals. Moth
ing would be 50 good for their cause

under circumstances which would make
perfectly plain that there must be a
putting aside Of all differences and di-
visions among the labor, socialist,

lead TO a liberal majority coming back
