of distributive trade. Shipments on
orders previously booked are going
forward in volume, and one OF the
most significant features of the gen

for prompt deliveries, which indicates
that stocks do not lag superfluouS on

one hears the expression that condi-
tons as regards sales are better than

The shortage of cars is becoming
more noteworthy. Industrial opera

Steel plants are we'll sold ahead. and
as a general rule no more orders can
be taken for delivery this year.
Labor continues In very scant sup
ply. Collections range from fair to
good, although payments from the
South are still slow. chiefly because
of wet weather and the lateness of the
cotton crop.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending Septmber

South Gains Prominence Only
As An Example
HOOKWORM POPULATION
Is Undoubtedly Greatest Here, Ac-
cOrdlng to Reports at Wash
ington Hygiene Congress
BY l.. AMES BROWN.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 25.-Only
by it's unQuestioneed primacy in hook
worm population has the South
gained any prominence at h seventh
annual congress Of hygiene and
OemOgraphy now in session here.
DR.. Charles ". Stiles of the pub
lie health and marine hospital service,
who in collaboration with the Rookie
Teller sanitary commission, has waged
effective warfare against the parasite
in the last four years in North Caro-
lima and the southern states, exhibit
ed today two hOok-worm victims who
he said were North Carolina boys.
DR.. Stiles used these boys as an OBJ
ject lesson in a lecture on the
economic aspects of the hookworm
disease before a section of the on
gress this morning. The boys, who
mentality tested by the Binat system,
DR.. Stiles said, and it had been found
that their mental DEVELOPMENT was
that Of boys of nine and nine and a
half respectively.
The lecturer declared that the edu-
cational handicap to rural children
suffering from the disease follows
them through life, making them less
efficient factors in the economic de-
velopment Of the country. He spoke
of the special strain on mothers, Of
the tendency to age rapidly and Of
Inc influence OIL tOlS teNOency on the
nome n through the home on the
community.
Small Praise For South.
Another lecturer. DR.. Grossly T..
Wilbur, chief statistician on vital
statistics in the census bureau, gave
the South a scaEty word OF praise in
Il discussion Of the development of
demography Vital statistics) since
1900. He said:
This development has been par
ticularly noticeable for it's valuable
results in "a number of Southern states
which, owing to large classes Of lift
crate population, were slow to take il
up in the beginning. 1t has proved a
difficult proposition for the people
down there to work out satisfactory
demography systems and laws to Sc
cure their enforcement, but they are
rapidly doing this, particularly in
North Carolina. Virginia. Tennessee

tariff will inevitably lead to party dis
sensiOns such as split the Democracy
in 1893 and 1894 and swept it out OF
power again for sixteen years. An
other Wilson-Gorman bill, accompanied
by prostratiOn OF business and indus
try. would give the country a sufficient
taste of Democratic rule TO last 1t for
another couple Of decades.
To say that the parallel between ls92
and 1912 will be completed with the
consent of the voters is to say that they
are unable to profit by the lessons or
history. It may be that the sad expe-
riences Of 1S93-'97 have so far passed
out Of the mind of the public that 1t
can contemplate their return without a
shudder. If the country wants another
two years of Democratic squabbling
and mismanagement at Washington 1t
can have it. But it is warned even by
"The Times" what is to be expected
If the Democratic party wins next
week. The election Of Mr.. Wilson will
inevitably revive the uncertainties ana
miseries Of the second Cleveland adj
miniStratiOn.

JAMES S. SHERMAN.

The death of Vice-Presldent Sher-
man has upset a happy tradition which
had ruled for more than a century IN
American politics. He is the first ma
tional candidate of a political party
to die in the interval between his nOnl-
nation and the date set for election,
though Horace Greeley died in 1877,
shortly after Election Day.
Mr.. Sherman enjoyed the distinction
of being the first Vice-President In sew
eral decades to be honored with re-
nomination. The Republican party set
aside one of its unwritten laws when 1t
selected him to run as candidate 10
succeed himself. In our time the Demo
cratic party has twice named the same
man for a second term as Vice-Presi-
dent, but not in succession to himself.
Thomas A. Hendricks ran with Mr.. Til
den in 1876 and again with Mr.. Cleve-
land in 1854 Adlai L. Stevenson ran
with Mr.. Cleveland in 1892 and again
with Mr.. Bryan in 1900. But from It's
entry into national politics in 1906
until this year the Republican party
had never renominated a Vice-Presi-
dent. and it was striking tribute to
Mr.. Sherman's political availability, as
well as to the strong affection in which
he had always been held by his party
associates. that his selection to make
the race a second time with Mr.. Taft
was accomplished over the resistance
of a firmly established party habit.
Mr.. Sherman was lovaOle and genu-
inc to an exceptional degree. He made
friends on all sides by his kindliness
and sympathy. In the House of Rep
resentatives, where he served for TWEEN
" years, he won his way to the front
by his ability to cOnciliate and to
smooth away the obstacles to harmO-
Nous party action. He was a leader
who persuaded and did not drive. As
President of the Senate he gained an
enviable reputation for the utmost fair
ness and consideration. His partisan
ship was vigorous, but he applied it in
the defence Of principles, not In the
treatment of persons. Few Vice-Presi-
dents have been as popular in the
Senate.
As a party leader Mr.. Sherman has
always stood for progress in an order
" manner and for the preservation Of
the guarantees Of individual rights,
under which alone progress can he
made with justice and safety. He had
firmly fixed opinions, but they were al
ways on the side Of elaboration and
fairness in Judgment and in harmony
with the stable traditions Of the Repub-
lican party. lie was a wise counsellor
and a prudent leader, and his death is
a loss not only to the organization
which gladly honored him but to the
country, to which he gave the benefit
of an admirable capacity for public
service.

ALL THE ENEMIES" IN LINE.

Mr.. Hedges said wittily at Syracuse
"a boss is only the visible evidence OF
many mems cowardice." AS If to give
point to his epigram comes a plea for
Mr.. Suffers election signed by TWEEN
~ leading independent Democrats.
Among them are TO be found some OF
the best names in the community, lead
ers of the bar for the most part, all OF
them TO be recognized instantly as
anti-Murphy, like the anti-Murphy
newspapers, eleven months out of the
wear. but. as usual, coming out for the
boss's ticket a few days before cleo
ton. They are the boss's most valued
enemies" If they were frankly for
Murphy twelve months every year they
would exert little influence In his be-
half. But as it is { constitute a
group Of the morally elite in the Demo-
cratic party, an upper fashionable set,
whose patronizing Of the boss's cause
is waited for annually by we do not
know how many political apes as sig
nal that it is the correct thing to do
again.
Mr.. Hedges says it is cowardice that
makes men do things like that. Prob
ably he is right If these men who an
nually set the seal of propriety on
Murphy's candidates earnestly dislike
Murphyism during the rest of the year
they must be moved by their own po-
litical ambitions and the thought OF the
boss's power. They are afraid. per-
haps. that Murphy might shut the door
TO office in their faces. They are afraid,
It may be. of the effect which a deter
mined fight against Tammany might
exert upon their party's prospects or
carrying the state for its national can
didate.
Whatever their fear is, the indepen-
dents who help Murphy to elect his
ticket year after year, although they
profess to abhor him, are always afraid
to carry their opposition to the polls.
There are many Of the kind. That ac'
counts for the boss's success.

A FATAL PARALLEL.

THE New York Times takes pleas
ure in instituting a parallel between
the elections Of 1892 and 1912. After
twenty years, it says, history is about
to repeat itself. The Democrats car
ried the House Of Representatives in
1890, Just as they captured control Of
that body in 1910. After the victory
of 1890 came the election of Mr.. Cleve-
land and full control Of the govern
ment by the Democrats through the re-
turn Of majorities in both branches Of
Congress. "The Times" feels that the
cycle will be completed this year by the
election Of Governor Wilson and the
transfer Of power in the Senate, as well
as in the House, to the Democrats.
1t can hardly be comforting to THE
Times" to follow the parallel 10 its
natural conclusion. Undoubtedly. If
Mr.. Wilson is elected and finds a Dem
ocratic Congress ION his hands," as
Mr.. Cleveland was dismayed to find
one in 1892, he will quickly experience
exactly the same difficulties that
wrecked the Cleveland administration.
Mr.. Wilson is much more slippery on
the tariff issue that Mr.. Cleveland ever
tried to be. although the latter repudi-
ated the Democratic national platform
Of 1892 as openly as Mr.. Wilson has
repudiated the Democratic national
platform Of 1912 President Cleveland
endeavOred to run with the hare and
hunt with the hounds in tariff legisla-
ton, expressing sympathy with the
trainers Of the destructive Wilson bill.
which passed the House of Representa-
tives, but at the same time indirectly
cOunselling many of the changes made
in it by the Senate at the behest Of
Mr.. German and other incidental pro-
tectionists In the upper house. When
the Senate bill had been rammed down
the throat of the House radicals the
President denounced 1t as a measure OF
''perfidy and dishonor." 1t was useful,
however, later in saving the Treasury
from the necessity of suspending pay
ments.
If Mr.. Wilson is elected now he will
face not only radical House but a
radical Senate. His policy Of tempo
rizing with tariff revision will not go
down with a Democratic majority in
Congress which showed its real teIsper
at the last session by passing a free
sugar bill. An attempt to revise the

THE CUBAN OUTLOOK.

1t would be injudicious to say that
to-morrow's election in Cuba is TO be
regarded with serene confidence, and
il would be unjust TO say that 1t in
wolves probable disaster. That there Is
some cause for apprehension the often
turbulent occurrences Of the last few
weeks have made clear. But the I'M
mistakable improvement in conditions
within the last few days gives ground
for hoping that all will pass off well.
There has been no occasion for Ameri-
can Intervention Of any kind In adj
yaIce of the election, and even If there
should be some disorder tomorrow we
do not expect it to go beyond the
Cuban governments power to control.
Political activities in Cuba are not
always conducted with the moderation
and reserve which characterize our
own at their best estate, but too often

fall into the passion and violence
which have by no means been I'M
known here. But we cannot reason
ably feel much surprise on this ac-
count. The difference between the
United States and Cuba in racial tenn
permanent is enormous. Greater still,
and more pertinent to the present con-
sideration, is the difference in civic
antecedentS. The earliest colOnists or
these states brought with them and
transplanted to our soil the traditions
and the cumulative impulse Of genera
tons Of restrained self-gOvernment,
and when the colonies became a ma
ton they had merely to maintain ana
to enlarge their ancient inheritance.
But the colonists of Latin America
had no trace of any such tradltloh'
an on their achievement Of indepen-
dent nationality they had to import
free self-government as an unfamiliar
exotic in the cultivation of which II
would have been marvellous If they
had not often blundered.
There is reason for believing, how
ever. that Cuban understanding of re-
publican institutions, appreciation OF
the collective benefits of good and
stable government and acquiescence IN
and devotion to constitutional proc
esses are making substantial Roadway.
They have not yet fully triumphed
there. if, indeed, they have anywhere
but the outlook is encouraging.
