Heavy Selling Results in

ket Tone Feverish.

New York, Dec. 5.-A heavy selling Of
stocks set in at midday today sending
the general average prices to the low
est level for some months. The tone
OF the market IL more feverish than at
any time since Monday when the
United States supreme court decision
In the Hartman merger case awakened
the market from long apathy. The de-
.cision developed a general feeling OF
pessimism in financial circles.
The Hartman issues and other
standard railway shares showed acute
weaknesses while various specialties
declined abruptly. It Is reported local
banks and trust companies are calling
their loans. but a canvass Of the finan-
cial Institutions failed to confirm this
rumor.
Directors In Conference.

Southern Pacific. to the Union Pacific.
Judge Lovett would only say that
nothing approaching a solution OF the
problem resulting from the United

been reached. Hartman line officials
depreciate various rumors circulated in

ton.

Paris, Dec 5.-France spoke plainly
today on the European situation.
Premier Poincare told the committee
on foreign affairs of the chamber OF
deputies: I'VE will stand by our allies.
and our friendships"
The premier was laying down the
policy to be pursued by France in the
Balkan settlement. Frances "allies"
are. the other members Of the triple
entente, Great Britain and Russia.
Frances position in the present Eu-
ropean situation was summoned up by
Premier Poincare in a few words. He
said:
Frances program is:
"First-Continuity IN our foreign
policies and consequently the practical
and preserving operation Of our ALI
ances and friendships.
"Second-Sincere and continued sf-
forts to secure the peace of Europe.
,Third-Above all, the firm and calm
resolution to secure respect for our
rights and maintain our national dig
nifty, free from all possible stains"
The premier's address had not only
been carefully prepared but had been
submitted previously to special ses-
sion Of the cabinet and 1t was realized
that a speech similar to those deliv-
cred by the British premier, Herbert
Asquith, and the German imperial
Chancellor DR.. Won Berthmann Holl-
veg, was awaited with anxiety in every
capital of Europe.
AS the most important negotiations
are now being pursued, Premier Poin-
care pointed out that he was not free
to speak without restriction. he wanted
to affirm, however, that France. In the
settlement of the present European
questions, wished that her alliances
and friendships should find new prooi
in their force and In their efficacy

WHO SHALL MAKE PEAoE7

1t is judicious for Turkey to seek
peace. She can no longer hope to re-
trieve her disasters and rally her
troops to turn the tide Of war In her
favor. She has been crushed by the
Balkan peoples as decisively as they
were crushed by her at Kossovo nearly
FIVE and n quarter centuries ago. 1t
would merely prolong the agony and
increase the penalty to essay a last
desperate stand at Constantinople.
For her own advantage, as well as for
that Of humanity-which may not so
greatly appeal to her-the best thing
that she can do is to seek peace, not
mere armistlce, but actual ending OF
the war, and not to stand upon the
order Of her seeking, but to seek 1t
speedily and earnestly.
Turkey will be best advised, too, in
seeking 1t directly from the conquering
states, as, indeed, the powers are now
advising. Her instructive appeal TO the
powers was not unnatural, in view Of
the practice Of the past. But now the
past Is indeed past. As, q French wit
has put IT; "Old Mr.. Status Quo IL
deceased" The great powers did not
intervene to save her from the war.
Their duty under the Treaty of The
Hague was neglected. There was no
convincing reason for expecting any
thing better from them in the making
OF peace. Moreover, If they should in
tervene, they would not improbably
deal with Turkey less generously than
her actual conquerors would. The vic
tor on the field of battle is generally
more generous to the yanquished than
the non-combatant camp follower who
comes prowling in his wake for spoils.
Nor is there much reason, In the
present temper OF both sides, TO sup
pose that the great powers could agree
upon a modus operdndi Of Intervention
or upon. the terms Of peace to be
proposed, while ii Is certain that
the Balkan States would not accept
them. Those states have done the

THE ROADS REFERENDUM.

With regard 10 the proposed $50
100000 bond issue for road construc-
ton which is referred to the voters
for their approval to-day 1t is not
easy to give unqualified advice. The
results Of the previous S5O,0OO,OOO ex-
penditure have been disappointing.
The present development Of road
building is unsatisfactory. The recent
administration Of this work has not
been free from scandals, and the as
surance that the future VIII be is not
all that could be desired .......
On the other hand, the art OF road
building is better understood than It
was when the expenditure Of the last
S5OOO0,000 was authorized The effect
upon roads Of automobile traffic is now
understood as II was not when the
state began building it's system Of
highways. The bill authorizing the
present issue Of bonds appears to be
so drawn as to prevent the favOritlsm
in the location Of roads which has
been the scandal Of road construction
hitherto.
Moreover, the roads are needed; TO
leave the present system in its uncOm-
pleted state or even to delay unneceS-
sarily it's completion would be regret
table. 1t must be borne In mind that
this whole sum of S5Oo00.OOO will not
be spent at once. Progress has been
made toward the building Of roads
which will withstand the severe
strains Of modern traffic, and there Is
reason to hope that before this new
appropriation is spent the construc-
ton Of substantial roads Of reasonably
permanent character will he possible.
1t seems best, therefore, to vote for the
appropriation. When you do so, how
ever, take pains to see that the money
is put into hands that promise to be
honest and efficient in its use.

tributory negligence and assumption Of
risks applied, but it put no obstacles in
the way of the Legislatures changing
these rules If it wished only the court
could not itself legislate them out of
the law.
With reference to the Williams case,
involving the working Of woman
after 9 o'clock at night, though she
might not have worked at all in the
day, in magazine article Mr.. Roose-
velt wrote: .-.
In New York the people did not ask
for an eight-hour day--asked only for
q ten-hOur day for women Then the
Court OF Appeals said that under their
Interpretation Of the Constitution the
small sweatshop keeper or the big fac
tory owner may work haggaTd women
twelve, fourteen and sixteen hours a
day If he chooses, and we cannot
stop II.
That also is untrue. New York now
has nine-hour day for women. The
case in question merely involved the
right Of the Legislature arbitrarily to
forbid woman TO work even an hour
after 9 o'clock under any conditions,
even If that was the only time she
worked at all.
Mr.. Roosevelt also criticised the de-
cision on the workman's compensation
act, saying that the courts in other
states had upheld practically identical
laws. In fact. no state has passed a
law in the least equivalent TO IT, levy
ing on the employer as It did without
trial by jury-though preserving jury
trial to the emplOye il he wished it-a
fine for accidents no matter how care
full or diligent he was and how care
less or wilfully negligent the workman
might be. The court specifically held
that the Legislature might change the
law as to assumed risk, as to the fell
low servant rule and as 10 contribntOry
negligence, and enforce the most com
plete safeguards. But It could not with
out constitutional changes arbitrarily
take money from one man and give it to
another regardless of the fact that the
first committed no moral or legal fault.
The soundness Of the courts reasoning
in that case may fairly be open to dis
Cussion. But it should be Judged on
what it decided, not on a misstatement
Of the facts.
These few instances of .misrepresen-
tation are fair sample of the methods
by which It has been sought to arouse
the American people to break down the
independence Of the Judiciary. Most
men do not analyze law eases and It is
easy to play upon their passions by
misstatements which they are not In a
position to detect. They ought to be
safe from such misleading on the part
of statesman who processes hatred
Of demagogy and love Of the square
deal"

HOW TO VOTE.

The President Of the Board OF Elec-
lions advises you to vote early. DO So
He knows what he is talking about
The registration is heavy. In many
districts the election officers will be
!. doing q rushing business all day IN
getting votes into the ballot box. You
may not have a chance TO vote If you
q don't vote early. Moreover, the police
arrangements to-day favor the repeat
ers. Some one may vote in your name
if you don't beat him to the polls.
Remember that there are three bal
lots this year-one containing the cleo
tors. another containing the state and
local ticket and third containing the
$50.O00OOO good roads referendum.
Vote them all. You cannot vote both
national and state tickets this year
with a single mark at the head of one
column. They are not both in one col
umn this year or both on the same
, sheet of paper.
, And when you vote vote like a man
for the candidate of your choice and
for the principles you believe in, not
for some other candidate because the
straw votes make you think that your
man hasn't got chance" Vote to
save the business prosperity OF the
country from needless hazards and In
terruptiOns. Vote to safeguard the in
situations Of your country from revo-
lutionary changes. Vote for that same
progress which looks before it leaps.
Vote to keep these United States the
United States Of America, not to make
them the United States Of Utopia, or
some other political experiment sta
ton.
Vote to protect New York State from
further Murphyism. This Is patriotic
duty second only to saving the Con-
stitution Of the country from a spirit
of rash innovation. Exclude Murphy
from the governorship. Drive him out
of the Legislature. If these words
should be read by any one who per
sists in following after the strange
gods who would make over in one day
the world which It took six days TO
create, let him think twice before
throwing away his vote on his party's
candidates for the Legislature. There
Is 10 more certain way Of helping
Murphy. The Progressive's favorite
boast is that he thinks" this year.
Let him show it right here.
{ And let every voter show that he is
not a mere rubber stamp in the hands
Of a machine by voting to keep on
the bench Of the Court Of Appeals the
useful Judges now sitting there, whom
the Republican party alone has made
its candidates. Don't let Murphy recall
them.

NOT A SQUARE DEAL

Reckless and wholesale misStatement
/ Of facts to create the appearance Of
an abuse and excuse revolutionary
proposals for it's correction ought not
TO be a feature Of campaign profess
sedly for high moral ends. Yet 1t is e1'
actly such misstatements that Mr..
Roosevelt has made about the New
York Court Of Appeals to arouse preju-
dice against it and commend his
scheme for the recall Of judicial deci-
sions, as is clearly shown by the analy-
sis of his attack on the court IN his
Madison Square Garden address pub
lished by four leading lawyers of this
city. It is too late for this exposure
10 have much effect. And anyway the
third term movement is rooted in hero
worship and is superior to facts. But
no ordinary political leader who was
considered responsible for his utter
ances by a serious people could hold up
his head in the face of such demon
stration as they have made OF Mr..
Roosevelt's monstrous misrepresenta-
ton Of the courts decisions.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that in the
Jacobs case the court held 1t unconsti-
tutional to prevent the manufacture OF
tobacco In a home Of only one room In
which two families lived. AS mat
ter Of fact, the court decided nothing OF
the kind. 1t never questioned the
power of the Legislature to prohibit
tobacco. manufacture In sleeping or
cooking rooms or under unsanitary
conditions Such subjects have been
legislated on repeatedly since the de-
cision. 1t merely held invalid law
passed for the benefit of factory owners

tors with their shops attached to their
homes-Jacobs had seven rooms, and
the workrooms were entirely separated
from the sleeping and cooking quarters
and were perfectly sanitary. The deci-
sion was against monopoly and for the
promotion OF that social justice in
which Mr.. Roosevelt is so much inter
ested
Concerning the Knisley case, Mr..
Roosevelt said the court held that a
workman's compensation law was I'M
constitutional and that the law could
not interfere with "the liberty Of that
girl in losing her arm" 1t did nothing
Of the kind. 1t didn't say a word
about the law being unconstitutional.
1t held that under the facts stated the
long established legal rule as to con-
