FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF COR.
PORATION PROVES DECIDEDLY
BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
NOT AFFECTED BY PENDING SUIT
Threatened Enjoining Of Apportioning
Of Profits Fails to M~aterialize--
Quarters Net Earnings
$22,716,157.

New York, Nov. 2.-In spite of ap-
were being taken to enjoin the COM
mon dividend of the United States
Steel corporation. and gossip also that
it might be reduced, the usual dist,i.
button of Ia per cent on that Secur-
ity was declared at the regular quar-
terly meeting of the directors after
the close of the market. The usual
quarterly dividend Of IA per cent on
the preferred stock also was declared.
Nothing additional on the govern
ment dissolution suit was made pub.
lie. o would the directors consent to
be interviewed.
The financial statement. which was
for the third quarter of the year. end
ing Sept. 80. showed earnings of $780,
522.12o, with net earnings of 22.716,-
157. These compare with S2S, 500
and S21 .S29,S4O. respectively. for the
quarter Immediately preceding. For
the corresponding quarter Of 1910 earn
ings and net earnings were $37,3G5,lS7
and S3l ,04S. 725. respectively.
Statement Is Better.
The statement was decidedly bet
ter than had been expected. The sur
plus net income for the third quarter
is S2.745.414. as against $~l,S69.177 in
the preceding quarter last year.. when
this item totalled Sll,07S.O65.
On the other hand. no appropriations
from surplus were made the last quar-.
ter, while in the third quarter last
year the sum of $1,5O0,O00 was set
aside for expenditures, which included
authorized payments for additional
property. new plants and construction.
IT is possible that such appropriations
may be made ut the end of the fourth
quarter as was done last year.
! The course Of Tho steel shares on
the stock exchange earlier in the day
REFLECTED a degree Of uncertainty as
to the outcome of the meeting, but
the common stock was supported well

Nations Tribute to Lincoln.

From the Baltimore Sun.
1t seems almost unaccountable that the
federal government has waited for forty
six years before providing for the erec-
ton of q fitting memorial to the President
vino guided it's fortunes through the civil
war But when we recall that there is in
Washington no monument to Thomas
Jefferson. it is apparent that Lincoln is
not the only great American who has
suffered from such delay. In the case of
MIR. Lincoln, we cannot complain that he
has been neglected, for no American save
Washington has ever received such close
study, such warm appreciation. and no
man in single generation has been given
such a high place in the temple of fame.
Perhaps the delay in erecting great
permanent memorial has not been unfor-
tunate in one respect, for 1T has given
time for the passions and prejudlces OF
the civil war to die out. to large extent,
and has brought about truly national
appreciation of Lncoln's character. The
south has come TO understand and appre-
ciate him as 1t was impossible for it to do
wears ago whether all southern people
admire him unreservedly or not. the in
teIlieent sentiment of the South recog-
nizes that he was one of the country $
truly great men: that, whatever MS de-
fects and weaknesses. he was man OF
great intellectual strength and stature.
And they cannot help remembering tEat
he was of southern blood and born on
southern soil. and is one in the long list
of notable men that section mas con-
tributed to the Union.

purposes of "scrapping' that he will pre-
sent himself as troublemake r, and that
il turned down, either as to the nominee
or the platform, he will sulk or bolt.
But there is nothing to warrant this.
Mr.. Bryan was turned down at st. Louis
in 1904 on every proposition, and yet. sup
ported the conventions action. He
stumped wide section of the country for
Judge Parker, and said what he could for
ticket and delfverance of which he
did not approve. 1t is to be presumed
that he would be regular again under
similar circumstances.
Mr.. Bryan probably has some very
pronounced views as to what his party
should do next year. sTIe may be more
anxious than in the months preceding the
st. Louis meeting seven years ago. The
situation now is more promising for the
democracy than then. And so he may
be in even more aggressive form next
year than when opposing the nomina-
ito of Judge Parker on a platform which
he knew Wall street was debating.
But, even so, Mr.. Bryan should be at
next years convention, and accorded a re-
spectful hearing. 1t is not believed that
he desires the nomination for himself,
though should he take the stage at a
critical moment in q clash Of aspirants
he might. as at Chicago in 1896, create a
frenzy. He is neither as young nor as
handsome as then, but he still knows the
art or playing upon an audience, and es-
pec1ally upon one torn with differences, a
little weary from efforts to settle them,
and. in such state, somewhat at the
mercy Of a star performer
