INVESTORS HOLDING STOCKS.

The developments of the specula. tive stock markets show that inves. tors learned valuable lesson in the 1907 panic. When spectators were compelled to throw over gilt-edged stocks held on margins they were rapidly absorbed at panic prices by people who mistrusted the banks. The distribution of stock holdings has been emphasized by every an- nual statement of the big corpora tions since that time, showing a great increase in the number of share owners.
 The course of the stock market of late proves that these stocks are not held by the class that usually buys during fiurries to unload when the storm blows over and prices go up. Neither bull nor bear raids have sue ceeded in shaking them out, and the speculative market is largely stripped of really gilt-edge stocks Such a condition works for stability and is an encouragement to the managing heads to devote themselves to deyel.

| oEsPERAre SITUATION.

What follows is taken from a Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune:
 'The senate leaders are somewhat concerned over the criticism of cer- tain of the large newspapers whose opinions they respect, but they admit that they are confronted by Hob sons choice" They must accept the income tax to which object is made, and their extension to the incomes Of individuals. or else they must adopt the tax on the net earnings of cor porations alone, which is what the president recommends. Under these circumstances even those who dis like the corporation tax regard it as the lesser evil"
 A desperate situation, comments the New York World. Unless there is a corporation tax there must be an income tax; for unless there is some form of special taxes congress would have to scale down the protec. tive schedules to a point at which they would permit sufficient revenue for the support of the government.
 But if there is a corporation tax. that will offend thousands of pros. porous patriots who help finance the party of great moral ideas on a quid pro quo basis. If there is an income tax, that will offend a still greate, number of prospective patriots Ii the schedules are sealed down, all the protective industries which have been pouring money into the repuh- lican campaign chests for more than forty years can begin action for breach of promise and non-support.
 It is easy to understand why the senate leaders are perplexed. Why can't the consumer be decent and stop making a fuss about being rob bed7 Then it would not be neces sary for a republican congress to an noy Wall street or the protected in terests.

orally and with feeling against a race, rather than an individual, utter ed words containing much truth. There is no occasion for American women to associate with the general run of Chinese in this country, even for reasons of the purest philan- thropy. Few Chinese are ever gen timely converted to a foreign relig- ion. Their own is a part of their blood. changeless. nearly as old as their race. and as enduring. It is a mistake, says the Washington Post. for we'll disposed women with no understanding of the Oriental character to suppose that they can give to an Oriental ga new heart" !" when he has kept his old heart against all assaults since the dawn of history and is well satisfied with it.
 The morals of this ancient Orien- tai people. their philosophies, and their arts are not necessarily infer for to our own. They are simply different It is this fact rather than the faults of their national character which renders any effort at under. standing between the two peoples hopeless In modern times there is but one man of the west who ever got beneath the skin of an Oriental and his testimony was that
 East is east, and west Is west,
 And never the twain shall meet, Till earth and sky stand presently, At Gods great judgment seat.
