Wall Street

It may be that the ace track men
are having things pretty much their
own way in spite of Governor Hughes
memorable reform. Otherwise they
might follow the lead Of the New York
World and insist that gambling "just
as bad"-for instance, in Wall street
should also have the lid put on. The
Hooking pool, which is but a sample
Of what goes ON every day in Wall
street, ended in three failures, with
liabilities Of over $7,OOO,OOO.
The Wall Street Journal is authority
for the statement that the Stock Tx
change committee was aware all along
Of the inside facts about the Hooking
gamble, but nothing was done. The
case of Wall street was put up to Gov
ernor Hughes, and about a year ago he
recognized the evil to the extent Of ap-
pointing a commission. The recon-
mendations of this commission seem
to have been fouted, for Wall street,
and especially the Stock Exchange end
of it, has not checked stock gambling.

The Census Man Is Coming

The Census Man Is Coming.
Congress has put about the last
touch to the census taking machine,
and little more is to be expected in the
way Of publicity. until the man and
woman, with sharpened pencil, ring
the doorbell. Every individual, every
family, is ready for the call. There is
a satisfaction in standing. up for count
by the representative Of the United
States government. To be overlooked
is to- be sighted, and for ten years
there'l not be a chance to rectfy the
error.
But there's another side to this mat
ter Of being out when the census takel
calls. Your town OF. county wants to
show up well in the results. A rival
town or county may have fewer In
habitants and yet score ahead Of yours
in results because there were fewer
absentees on the fateful day. Doubt
less the government figures when pub
lished will fall below the local esti'
mate, but 1t will be a satisfaction to
recall that you were on hand and saw
the agent put down everybody and
the hired girl"

Conserving Muscular Forces.

A law just put in force in Germany
aims at the conservation Of the ma
TONS physical vitality and virility.
Henceforth the women Of Germany
are restricted to ten hours a day five
days in the week and eight hours on
Saturday. They may not work before
6 o'clock a. m. or after 8 p. m. Ade-
quate rest periods between work are
also required. This law goes to the
very root, Of conservation Of national
resources, for the strength of a nation
amounts in the end to the strength Of
the people composing it.
The new law governing women's Ia
Dor in Germany is not a new fad, to
be bowled over after a year or two.
It results from agitation and expert
ment during the last forty years, or
since the Franco-Prussian war, when
heavy inroads were made upon the
ranks of ablebodied German men. This
country is backward in legislation per-
tanning to the health and vigor Of the
men and women who have the future
Of the race in their keeping. Flooding
in factory, mill and mine and hiking
after the pillow, there are natural re-
sources which no nation a afford to
waste or abuse.

Women Getting Down to Business.

Women Getting Down to Business
Woman suffrage agitation in New
York takes on Q new phase with the
organization in Greater New York Of q
party having all the machinery neces.
sary for pushing an issue at the polls
This means that the women are pre-.
pairing to "get out the suffrage vote"
when the time comes. Much has been
said about the high moral issue in
volved in granting the ballot to WON
en-. 1t must have occurred to the lead
ers in New York city that mere senti-
ment can never win their battle in the
face Of other interests. They take
voters as they find them and prepare
to storm the polls.
OF course the women have no votes
But often q movement comes to the
front with next to no votes, yet makes
Roadway. Women are to first get
mems votes extending the suffrage,
and they are aware that a man often
controls thousands Of votes when he
has but one himself and will even con-
troll a majority of voters in a district
where he has no vote at all. Voters, as
a rule, rally to an organization that
knows how to "do business" In the po'
litical field. If New York city goes for
suffrage state legislators may be ex.
Dected to take notice.
