or less extent by renewal of specu-

Room Traders Busy.
This is the way in which the market
has acted pretty nearly ever since the
time when il lapsed into dullness. with
the room traders on the floor OF the
stock exchange doing pretty nearly all
the business that was done in 1t after
the sharp recovery in values that took
place following the break in July
Just as there was nothing particular 10
cause yesterdays decline, so was there
nothing definite to which could be as
eribed to-day's advance. It seems fair
TO say that pretty strong impression has
been made upon financial sentiment, or
by the growing evidence OF a better
undertone in the copper trade.
1t is plain now that copper eonsump-
ton in this country, and in the world,
has been stimulated 10 an extraordinary
extent by the low prices that have held
for so long for copper metal, The feel
ing appears 10 be gathering force that

restricting production on account of the
low selling price Of copper, the weight

Market for Copper.
To this general cause is undoubtedly
due the stronger market for copper stocks
and allied securities. both in this city
and in other financial markets. on the
produce exchanges to-day prices of
grain were again heavy despite the cir
culation OF all sorts of stories of damage
to wheat in Argentina. Possibly this was
because OF the publication of bulletin
BY one OF the country's leading private
cop experts 20 the eEEet ltlaL the wheat
crop this year was likely TO turn out
6S4,oo0o0 bushels or much larger than the
governments estimate. and that the corn
crop is beyond the possibility OF frost
damage with the certainty OF a record
breaking yield.
The cotton market was again higher
on renewed speculative buying, which has
apparently enlisted a good portion OF
the public and has assumed the dimen-
slons OF a craze. II is needless 10 say
that a market in this position is in a
highly precariOus state.
AS regards the economies OF the situa-
ton il is estimated that only a very
small portion OF the American mills can
now buy spot cotton at anything Ike
current prices. and do any more than
make both ends meet. II may be said,
too. that very many confident observers
believe that the prevailing idea OF a
comparatively small crop Of cotton this
year is, 10 a great extent, unfounded,
To-day's rise in cotton was largely
based upon some fears of frost at an
early date over the cotton belt.

THE DEATH OF THOMAS c. PLAT.

STTa HOMAS c. PLATT was one of the most widely known men
in the United States, and was also one of the most abused
men in public life. Now that he has passed away, more
kindly things are said of him. Before his death the worst aspects
of his character and public career were dwelt upon. Death snences
or softens criticism, and the better qualities of Thomas {. Platt
and his good deeds are shown, as night brings out the stars. There
was Il time when the ability of Plat was questioned and even
dended. 1t was when he was the associate in the Senate of Roscoe
Conklng, a masterful man. Plat, it WAS said, was an echo of
Conking. He was Me. too" After Conkhngs death Platt showed
his real mettle. He became the dominant force in New York
politics and Il potent factor in national affairs. And he maintained
his power until age and infrmty had impaired his mental vigor
a sngularly strong and resourceful man, aggressive and unyield
ing. was Thomas c. Platt in the halcyon days of his party leader
ship in New York. The change witnessed after he had been thrust
out of power and was no longer regarded by the men who once
sprang to obey his orders was one of the pathetic incidents of
politics. But it is doubtful if Plat could have much longer main
tanned the prestige of his name if he had retained all the qualities
he possessed in his prime. A change was gradually coming over
the Republican party in New York. 1t had not we'll developed
when Patt was forced out of the leadership by his own lieutenants
but they have felt the change, and Platt, deserted and alone in New
York. was not the only wreck stranded on the shores of party
politics.

HOW BALLLNGER WAS APPOINTED.

IT OW BaIinger got to be appointed to the secretaryship of the
in interior. a position, in view of the conservation policy, of
immense importance to the nation, has been a subject of
conjecture. He supplanted James Z. Garfield, who had shown his
entire sympathy with the conservation policy and was known to be
loyal TO the core. Ballinger was comparatively unknown before his
appointment. He had been active in securing delegates in the
Rocky mountain States for Taft when he was nominated, but many
others. some much more prominent than Balinger, performed that
service. 1t had not been believed that the President would turn
GARFIELD out and put Ballinger in simply to reward a political
henchman. Powerful influences, whose object Mr.. Taft could not
suspect, were evidently brought to bear for Balinger. Congress
man Sherwood, of Ohio, declares that the Guggenheim interests
backed Balinger. 1t is now revealed that these interests, combined
with the Morgan group. are reaching out for the great mineral
treasures of Alaska. Manhestly men with that object in view would
be DESTROYS of having some man at the head of the interior depart
ment who would be complaisant. No conservation policy for them,
and no Pinchot TO keep watch and ward,

A plea for theatrical workers.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-In reply to 81. L." who
seems very much surprised that the
Sunday shows are going to close next
Sunday.
He undoubtedly views the Sunday
shows from one standpoint. His critl-
cism 5of the shereff is unjust in this
case. / am not a Harrigan man, but
as a law-abiding citizen, l cannot help
but praise the sheriff in his present
duty. Mr.. 81. L. says that the work
ing man, after a weeks toll, finds his
recreation in a Sunday amusement"
He does not for one moment give the
slightest consideration to the fifty or
more people employed in a theatre.
Take the stage hands, for an eX-
ample; they are compelled to report
every morning at 9 o'clock, and work
until about IL at night. Is there any
time left for the Door stage mechanic
for any recreation? Should he be de-
prived of breathing Gods fresh air at
least one day a week?
There are a great many theatrical
employees who will have to be intro
duced to their wives and children next
Sunday.
The actors receive no compensation
whatever for their Sunday work. Shall
there be not. even a slight considera-
ton on the part of Il. L." for those
unfortunate slaves of the theatrical
trust? The average persons work-day

A first-class (not glass; diamond5
mine has been discovered in Arr

1t is unfortunate that the disc9v-

Heretofore, we have been hccus-

And of course we are associating
Africa now with a great scientist
who is about to leave it.

of them, the sound of their name

Funds for PHONE Probe.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The manly fight made by the STAR
against the telephone extortion is
worthy of all communication. | see
that it is nov up to the Senate for a
probe. But, as there is often a but" in
matters of this kind, sometimes these
lawfully constituted representatives of
the people order probes and then most
conveniently forget to provide the
necessary funds to carry them IN. Let
us hope that this will not be so in this
case. Let the light of the STAR pene-
trate that most important phase of the
probe. GILBERT b.

NOT THE SAME POSTAL SAVINGS BANK BILL.

s1Ta He postal savings bank bill passed by the Senate is not the bill
introduced on behalf of the administration. The essential
object of the bill as introduced was to open a way for a cen
trail bank. That was the purpose of Senator AldTich. The amend.
ment STIMULATING that the deposits could be invested in government
bonds only in the event of war or some great national emergency, and
then only in bonds paving not less than p per cent was d spoke in
the Aldrich wheel, and entirely changed the aspect of the measure.
This was the first bill with the administration label to be passed in
either house. and it leaves the Senate in a shape not anticipated
or desired by its sponsors. It's passage with the amendments is a
defeat for AIdrch and the administration in the house of their
friends. Some lime will elapse before the bill will be taken up in
the lower house. Is it's passage assured there without such amend
ments as will necessitate Senate action again?
