 This task of protection is the hPder one the cost to us is greater. the stewards are more distant and uncertain, the gain more obscure, it will seem at first all most a thankless task.

For such task, diff ficult and requiring our every effort, even though 1t may embroil us in occasional conflicts, diplomatic or otherwise, yet will strengthen our individual and nation- al character.

PRICES ARE STILL HIGH ON STREET Y Bears Are Watching for
 Opportunity MARKET ACTS TIRED
Crop Conditions Have Improved Steadily But This Has Not lH Worried Wall Street
 Very Much
By W. G. NICHOLAS

New York, July 1.-(Special. .)-Although the highest price average of the year was made this week, the stock market has acted tired at times and seems to be over loaded whenever any urgent attempt is made to establish further advance. Stocks have been for sale on the rallies and the professionals have again taken to the selling side and have met with more or less scalping success. There mas been no really important news to wet blanket the market, yet there is lacking that buying enthusiasm which is neces- sary to break through previous high levels. Not all of the stocks on the ex- change list have sold at highest levels but the rise has been general and has affected almost everything. In few in- stances, the highest prices of last year have been passed. This Is the case with Norfolk and Western, American Tele- phone and Telegraph, National Biscuit and Western Union. Reading, Northern Pacific, Louisville and Nashville, Chesa- peake and Ohio and some other of the bet ter class of dividend payers rank high, but still fall short of last. years best. Pennsylvania, New York Central, South ern Pacific are still struggling 10 to 15 points behind the 1910 record and even Union Pacific trails, although it has been very strong around 19o. Steel common does not seem able to stay above 80, while last year 1t scared to 92%.
 Considering the fact that within the last a2 months more than $1, 1,000O O00,00O in mort gage indebtedness has been put behind railroad stocks, it would appear that the

 Tt is not hard to see, why this policy
 is being today directed towardsfthe Span
 ish-American republics For these nations
 nre blood-l1in to us In their history
 of a revolt from tyrrany. in their forms
 and aspirations of popular government, in their location, isolated by countless
 leagues of ocean from the fostering ab-
 solutism of that older world from which
 they fled. They lie right at our door.
 Mexico, Central America, the Pacific
 coast of South America, have been chief
 ly developed by American capital and in-
 dustry and pluck. Our coast line has
 been stretched by the inter-oceanic canal
 until it encloses Central America. South
 America, almost as rich in resources as
 her twin continent, is our natural com
 mercial field. We are told that the con trol of the Panama canal depends upon
 the annexation of the bordering coun-
 tries; self-defense and self-protection are urged as reasons why we must control all of these countries. And all of this, uldTk you, WHctHeT OF no tHeSe ldllh peoples desire to come in. Is this 10 be the course which we are to pursue?
 '.We have duty towards these repub- lies, apart from any imperialstic leanings. The Monroe doctrine, our self-imposed destiny, our endeavor to preserve Amerf- ca for freedom, has placed such an obli- gation upon us. It must be remembered that the doctrine itself does not touch
 our relationship to these countries; 1t is . warning to Europe to keep away, to leave America to work ,ut it's own salvation. It has been well likened to an outer Chinese wall which we have thrown around Americat as g. present protection to the smaller countries within. and as an ultimate protection to ourselves; but it does not of Itself determine our rela- tionship to these countries. And yet 1t puts this duty upon us. For these Span- ish- American republics today do not en- 1oy true liberty; they have the outward seeming without the inward graces..

Clement Richardson Wood of Birming- ham. son of Sterling A. Wood, and now
 associated with his father in the practice of law. was a recent prize winner in the Vale law debating team. The New Haven
 Evening Register of June 25. published young Woods prize address, the titie or which was '"The Proper Relationship or the United States to the Spanish Ameri- can Republics," and The Age-IIerald re- nroduces it. Mir Wood was a member of the third-year class and from all ac- counts he was one of the most popular young men at Yale. The prize which he won consisted of S100. MT. Woods speech follows:
 '~rhe trend of modern life is drawing us closer and closer to the whole world. New questions arising in connection with our commercial expansion, the Panama canal and the political state of the volatile Latin American countries south or ns'
 have brought the problem of our rela- | tionship to these countries to the fore- front, And in solving this question, two main policies are urged upon us, which are to govern our relationship to these republics and the world. These policies are those of the United States as a. na-
 tion, and as an empire We were founded and united as nation. We were founded by Anglo-Saxon pioneers. the most iip- erty-loving race upon the earth; up to 12 years ago, we stood to all the strug- gling masses of humanity as the mother of freedom; we were known as the great melting pot in which the baser metals
 of all races and colors could be asslm-
 Hated and elevated. But the war with
 Spain forced upon us g. political meas ure, and limited as our entry into it wass
 gave us taste of the blood-lust and
 power-lust which have always accom-
 panied and caused dreams of world cm-
 pire The temptation came to us to de-
 sert the paths laid down for us by our
 founders. of a nation, governed by and for
 it's people, for the alluring splendor of a
 despotic and limitless sway over the
 peoples of mankind. :. Our feet already
 strayed far upon this path And today
 we are urged to toss away the prin-
 ciples by which our national government
 has achieved such unparalleled prosperity, for an imperialistic vision! The problem

which would make governments of the people realty, that we do not covet our neighbor's land. From this will follow for us greater national success and pros- perity, and the saving of America to the world as the home of freedom, the dwell- ing place of contentment, where man may live, love and lie down to sleep in peace"

Gossip has it that the new $1O 900 se- curities company, organized by the Ma tional City bank Is to have the handling of the reorganization of Standard Oil- in fact that was the chief object of it's creation. This will be Q big and profitable job and will give the new company a splendid send-off. Mr. John D. Rocke-
 feller has been 8 frequent visitor at the
 downtown offices of the Standard oil
 company during the past week or two, for the first time in many years. He paid several visits to 26 Broadway before the street knew anything about it and the in cident was hailed as something border ing on sensational.
 If talk goes for anything the chief
 business of people connected with the In-
 terborough company which has been dis
 appointed in not getting what 1t expected to in the way of contracts for new sub
 ways will be to erect hurdles in the path
 way of Brooklyn Rapid Translt. The Brooklyn company, it is claimed, secured an undue share of the spoils and tho other fellows are very sore over 1t. It remains to be seen whether the Brooklyn corporation can finance the $200. .000. 900 sup- way enterprise without letting the Inter- borough crowd in on the deal. There are those who still hold to the original proposition that the Quarrel Is blind ." and that both companies are really con- trolled in the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co. The intrigues of the generals and captains of high finance are beyond the understanding of the common people.
 The stock market is singularly free at
 this time from the presence of individual
 plungers. Nearly all of the figures who
 have been more or less active in large
 way during the last eight or ten years
 have either died or passed from the scene
 of their triumphs and failures. Manipula-
 ton is now conducted from behind the scenes by invisible wires operating ma
 chinery that Is stripped of the feature
 of personality. The vast and mysterious
 money power is the whole thing.

Before sailing for Europe. MT. Daniel Guggenheim uncorked himself for the usual interview. It was very much mixed output in which he said he saw bounding hopes for the copper industry and hell for almost everything else on the list. He was full of despair over the future of Alaska He had just heard of the decision of the federal land office to throw open to the public about $l0O,- 0o00O0 worth of Alaskan coal lands upon which the Guggenheim syndicate had sup posed theY had mortgage. He learned of this unhappy incident after the body of the interview had been written and the interpolation of his few remarks on the subject was a discordant feature of the production. While he is away Mr. Guggenheim's friends on both sides ofAthe water will struggle manfully to head off that runaway bull copper market which he seems to fear.

Solve Smoke Nuisance.
Material strength has been given to
the hopes of advocates of railway ter
minal electrifcation in Chicago
through an announcement by Presi-
dent S. NJ. FELTON, of the Chicago Great
Western railway that thorough test
will soon be made by that road of a
new storage battery passenger car
In the development of this storage
battery, an Edison invention, Mr.. Eel
ton believes there lies the possibility
of solving Chicago's problem of loco
motive smoke abatement. The car al
ready has been tested on the LonE
Island railroad and exceptionally salts
factory results. it is said, have been
achieved.
AS soon as one of the cars can be
obtained it will be put in operation on
one Of the branch lines Of the Chicago
Great Western.

1t is believed that with the develop
ment of the storage battery and other
improvements these cars can be used
for freight car switching purposes,
thus removing the chief cause of the
locomotive smoke nuisance in Chicago.
