The MosIem's Exalted Month

Ramadan is the month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Koran-according to Mos
lem tradition-was brought down by
Gabriel from heaven and delivered
to man in small sections. In that
month Mohammed was accustomed to
retire from Mecca to the cave of Hira
for prayer and meditation. In that
month Abraham, Moses and other
prophets received their divine reveal
tons. In that month the doors of
heaven are always open, the passages
to hell are shut, and the devils are
chained" So run the traditions

New confidence was infused into the
situation by the announcement that
Union Pacific contemplated the ex-
penditure of $75,0O0,000 for the pur-
pose of double-tracking the road. OF
course, the companys outlay would
not stop at that point, and the COM
pletion of that project means the ex-
penditure of considerably larger sum.
Such action is a practical and en-
phatic display of confidence in the
future by men of great foresight and
ability. 1t Is not to be supposed that
such an enterprise would be taken up
at the present time unless it's pro-

Nearly the whole stage was taken up

The Financial Situation.

New York, Feb. 6.-Confidence on
the Stock Exchange appears to be ris-
ing and further improvement in val
ues has taken place during the week
Just closed. Easy money and power
ful banking support have been the two
chief influences. The latter has been
very noticeable, and is easily explained
If not justified by existing conditions.
At current rates for money many
stocks have recently looked attractive
for either investment or speculative
purchases, and although there has
been fair rise since the last decline
values are still upon a conservative
basis, considering the dividend situa-
ton.
We have now had six months or
more of contraction, and there is no
prospect of dividend reductions the
effect of any unfavorable action which
the Interstate Commerce Commission
may take having been fully discounted.
The best judgment of the street" Is
that the Commissions decision will be
in the nature of compromise, reduc-
ing rates where they have been inor-
dinately high and permitting railroads
to recoup themselves for increased ex-
penses by granting slight increases
where rates are unquestionably low.
There is no longer any serious ap-
prehension of injurious or biased ac-
ton on part of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. This is favora-
BILE factor of Importance in the mar
ket, although not generally recognized.

Some uneasiness is felt regarding
developments at Washington, but Con-
gress will close in about a month and
that disturbing element will then be
removed. President Taft's reciprocity
plans are finding greater favor with
the people than with the politicians,
and it would not be surprising if the
latter were eventually forced to ac-
cept the broad and liberal policy for
which he has lately so firmly stood.
The Treasury situation will soon re-
quire attention, for with heavy ex'
penses and diminishing revenue the
Government is facing a deficit esti-
mated at $30,OO0,O0O for the current
year. This explains Secretary Mac
Veagh's desire for authority to issue
$780, 100000 8 per cents without circu-

The merchandise situation as a
whole is certainly better than a few
months ago. In nearly every depart
ment of industry supplies of goods are
scarce. There has been little If any
abatement in consupmtive demands,
and industrial plants must soon re-
sumo operations in order to satisfy
necessary requirements. In some
cases demand is being stimulated by
lower prices, which are desirable, not
only as a means of renewed activity,
but also as an aid to lowering the cost
of living.
In the interior the situation is
slightly better Easy money is hav-
ing helpful effect in the West and
the crop outlook is promising owing
to favorable conditions of soil and am
pie snow or moisture. In foreign trade
the tendency is towards increased ex-
ports and diminished imports, thus
restoring foreign trade to the normal.
Europe has been liberal purchaser
of our securities and is showing in
creased confidence in American enter
prise. In London and Paris easy
money conditions likewise prevail. In
fact, owing to the abundance of money
the world over, it is impossible to see
how fresh forward movement can be
delayed for any lengthy period.

GET TOGETHER
STAY TOGETHER
THIS rs THE ADVICE OF CHAMP
CLARK TO DEMOCRATS, AND He
SAYS IT WILL MEAN A GREAT
VICTORY IN 1912.
Snecial 70 The journal


Washington, Dec. 2.-"Get together
and stay together"
This is the advice Speaker Champ
Clark says he would give to the Demo
Gratis of every community in the land
il he had the opportunity. He added
that such had been the policy of the
Democratic majority Of the house since
it's organization, and that 1t was the
only instructions that IL would be
necessary for the rank and file of De-
mocracy to follow to insure a great
victory in 1912.
"Of course" said Mr.. Clark. ct am
taking it for granted that the tariff is
to be the chief issue. No doubt the
enemy would like to sidetrack that is
sue, but we must not permit it for an
instant"
Mr.. Clark had Just arrived at the
Capital City preparatory to opening
the first regular session Of the sixty
second congress, and discussed the po-
litical situation optimistically and at
considerable length.
Looking back at the recent cleo
tions," said Mr.. Clark. they demon
strated two things: one, that the peo-
pie endorse our tariff record without
doubt; two, that wherever we are
united, we can win.
"The tariff was the overshadowing
question in Massachusetts,: also in the
Second congressional district of Kan
sas and the Third district Of Nebraska.
!! In all these places we won. In Massa-
ehusetts. the high protective Demo
Gratis bolted and fought Governor
Foss tooth and nail, but he won never
theless.
in Kentucky, where every Demo-
cratic stump speaker forced the tariff
to the front we won by forty thou
sand majority. Notwithstanding the
Republicans swept the state four years
ago, and where the present state ad :
ministration is Republican. The Dem
Governor McCreary and Ollie James,
were united and aggressive. We car
ried Maryland for everything except
governor, and lost the governorship
by reason Of a factionai fight, just as
we lost the New York assembly-all
portance of our friends not only get
ting together, but staying together
and pulling together. now and hence
| forth"
Democrats Must Stand United.
After the Democrats in congress
have gotten together and made such a
splendid record in solidarity 1t would
| be a shame and a calamity to lose tn
1912 by reason of petty factional
| fights Of a local nature" said Speaker
Clark.
ct believe as firmly as that I must
die some day that we can win in 1912,
but to do SO there must be no fac
| itonal fighting anywhere among Demo-
Gratis. Consequently, I hope that Dem
| ocrats will forget their local differ
| ences and present a united front. Now
| is the time for them to get together
and stay together. The moral OF the
bundle of sticks Is as forcible today
| as when Aesop first wrote tin unity
there is strength and in this case,
