The charge that man can keep
from drinking IL he wants to will not

apparent good reason. go further,
and say that we could avoid all pre-
ventable diseases If we we're a-rnind

II we would live as we should live.
This widespread notion that a drunk

as the hardest obstacle to be over

care and treatment of the inebriate
and drug habitue. But this Unborn

the searchlight Of modern intelli-
gence.
The State Makes 1t Possible,
When we come to think OF this
subject in its true light we are brought
to consider that 1t 10 the States duty

to the States too eager grasping af-

New York, December 9.-(Special.)- "Cats and dogs have fallen upon evil days By the phrase "cats and dogs is meant that class of stocks whose market is entirely speculative and manipulative- stuff that is avoided by prudent traders : summed by investors. footballed about on the Stock exchange and made the plaything of cliques and pools and bob tailed syndicates. These stocks have no standing at the banks and speculation in them is frowned upon by responsible in stitutions and individuals. Whenever there is bull campaign on the pools back of these properties very often succeed in working up lively speculative interest in their specialties, frequently succeeding in landing the goods with the public at fic- titious prices. Then when speculation coos and contraction sets in these so . called securities have a tumble. Some times the cats and dogs are watered Stocks that never had any value and sometimes they are stocks run down, mis- managed and semi-bankrupt old proper ties which have been trampled and ham mered until the life is out of them.

now in use are steel or of steel frame work These heavier and stronger cars are playing havoc with the lighter wooden cars on mixed trains. A high railroad au- thority said to the writer a day or two ago that wooden cars were going into the scrap heap at the rate of 150,000 a year, or double the percentage that it should be. The imminent future may therefore be said to hold out bright promise for the car manufacturing companies. These concerns are working on short capacity now, and on a small margin of profit. AS their orders enlarge they will be able to get better prices.
 The big people are not particularly afraid of political action, but they are not going to take any forward steps or to depart from their settled policy of prudent reserve until the way is made clearer and until the field becomes more attractive for investors. There is noth- ing in the situation now to encourage capital to invest in new enterprise. It is about all that can be expected if capital already in the game is content to sit tight on holdings. The great banking houses which hold a very delicate rela- tionship between the railroads and other corporations on the one hand and the investing public on the other do not see their way clear to advise wholesale issue of bonds with which to provide money for improvements and extension which everybody recognizes as necessary. When the national and state governments as- sume a more friendly and helpful atti- tude towards capital then funds will be available for the railroads and other en- terprises-and probably not until then. Indications point strongly to slow times, or at best very gradual improvement in general business for at least another year. This opinion is grounded on state ments by men very high up in the finan- cial and industrial world whose iudg- ment must be recognized as better than that of the average market student and chronicler. It represents the expression and views of men whose hands are on the pulse of affairs of the whole world.
 The stock market situation may be de-

scribed as reactionary, although not to the extent of producing a heavy or sen sational decline in prices. There is no widespread disposition to iquidate SC curties for the reason that those who have their money invested in that class of property are not able to find any place else safe or as remunerative. With enterprise tagging throughout the length and breadth of the land, and people con tent to do a safe business on small profits the best and wisest policy seems to be that of patience and endurance of con ditions as they are found. The brakes are on and it is waste of energy to try to pull the heavy wagon up hill through muddy roads.
 The truth is that the country overex- tended itself in the construction of pro- ducing capacity in almost every line of industry and 1t is now waiting to grow up to that capacity. The steel industry affords the best illustration of this con dition. The trouble that is being, expe- rienced in that branch is felt in great many other lines of business. The only important exception to this rule is found in the railroads. Instead of overeXpaii- sion in that direction, no headyway has been made for many years. That is the one great industry that has Jagged be- hind. 1t has not kept up with the pro-

Roeke- feller, who was heavily interested in many of the Gould enterprises. He is now allyng himself primarily with the Rockefeller interests which brings him into closer relations with the Vanderbits and their associations.

on the street at different stages of their career have been cats and dogs. During the bankruptcy period in the early 90s Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Atchison, Baltimore and Ohio and other railroads now of high standard value belonged in the category of cats and dogs. At that time more than one-third of the railroad mileage of the United States was in bank ruptcy. The list at this writing includes such stocks as Wabash, disclaimers, Federal Shelters, the New York Traction group, Can Common, Denver Rio Grande, some of the minor independent iron com panies and a lot of things in the same general class These stocks have been having hard time lately. The artificial markets that have been made for them went to pieces. The sharp declines which have taken place in a number of them affected the general market unfavorably and contributed largely to the dullness which has overtaken the stock market situation.
 The really important people of Wall street are doing very little these days either to encourage speculation or to dis courage it. They are outspoken in the expression of opinion that this is not Q good time to expect a bulish movement in prices. At the same time they do not duVlSe the SeillnS or seasoned securities and counsel the policy of sitting tight on investments. They are almost unanimous in the statement that the great volume of business throughout the country is very nearly normal, although profits are smaller than usual. They are very nar- row in point of fact. This is true not only as to the steel industry, but to a large majority of industrial and comm0f- cial enterprises. The gross revenues of the railroads are large, but on account of increased cost of transportation. due chiefly to the increased pay rolls the management have to pare general ex- penses in order to maintain dividends. To such an extent has this policy of internal retrenchment been carried that the in- terests of Che public have been to some extent threatened Railroads have or dered no more than they could help in the way eof equipment and betterment of pant. It has been a good thing in one way for the railroads that the country has been undergoing a period of contrac- tion; otherwise they would not have been able to do the business. As it is, equip ment has been suffering actual loss In tonnage capacity although tracks have been maintained. and there is no impair n'ent in that feature. It is true, however tl,at the lighter wooden cars have been going into the discard very fast, and thus far they have not been replaced in the full. About two-fifths of the freight cars
