Washington Railway common was the
feature Of the trading yesterday on the
local stock exchange, nearly 500 shares
changing hands at and below the new
level Of 30, set for the stock since the
talk Of the merger of local utilities. At
30 and below the bidding for the stock
was aggressive, and the result showed
that there were orders to sell on the
floor. When 1t was seen that the stock
would have good support, the price raj
lied. and one sale was at 90 Is after the
price had declined to 50 L..
Type machine shares were also quite
active. Mergenthaler selling around 225
and Lanston from 90 to a half point bet
ter. Buyers Of these securities are ever
on the lookout for more when the price
is right. and there was no difficulty in
dispssing OF the stocks offered for sale.
Bonds had small sale. and other stocks
than those specified were mostly neg

Want Money First.

A story published in New York to the
effect that Oscar Hammerstein had COM
missioned a local real estate firm to Sc
cure for him a suitable site for his pro-
posed opera house turned out to be what
has already been published in The Wash
ington Herald. contingent upon the gift
OF the site by the citizens of Washing
ton and the fiotation of a certain amount
OF bonds guaranteed by local fnanciers.
The local firm has been commissioned
to find the site on those conditions, but
for the present the larger question OF
the money to buy the site and the guar
antee of the bonds is the absorbing ques-
ton with Mr.. Hammerstein's representa-
tive in Washington.
Rumors to the effect that P. B. Chase
was not satisfied with his new theater
and was negotiating with the Poll people
to secure a release of their old lease on
the old theater was denied by Mr. Chase s
manager. 1t was stated that the lease
Of the old theater to the Poll people was
absolute. and that there was no thought
nt breaking its terms. The rumors on
the street that Mr.. Chase Is meditating
any change in plans was denominated
absurd. The Herald reporter was told
that the new house had met expectations
in all particulars. and that the season
promised even more than Mr. Chase had
expected.

Epidemic Diseases and Publicity.

| Communities in which epidemic dis
eases prevail sometimes attempt TO con-
zeal the iacts. This short-sighted policy
| is adopted under the erroneous idea that
it will do the community no harm and
will prevent damage to business and
other interests, but that knowledge of
an epidemic will reflect on the COM
munity in various injurious ways. Buff
falo and Los Angeles, during the past
summer, have had epidemics of polio
myslitis; Notwithstanding the unsat
isfactory experience of San Francisco a
few years ago in regard to the conceal
ment of plague, few misguided bust
ness men, politicians, and, unfortunate
ly, few physicians, opposed the efforts
of the health departments in promptly
suppressing the epidemic, wishing TO re-
sort to the old exploded method of con-
eealment of conditions. Concerning this
Public Health Reports u September 20
has the following comment:
During the course of the outbreaks
in both Los Angeles and Buffalo there
was an effort on the part of certain res
idents to belittle the Importance of the
epidemics and the active measures being
taken by the health departments, with |

j. based on a fallacy. The ex-
istenee OF an epidemic cannot be con-
realed very long. and the absence Of
frankness in regard to the situation I'M
fer these conditions produces fear and

overcome
There Is nothing that inspires so

Foilinq a Briber.

The husband, observing the consulta-

escape from the matrimonial woe, ex-
claimed:
'I'm willin' to pay well; got the
money right here In my sock"
AT this the justice assumed his grav-
est judicious air. Obviously he was
deeply panied. Never before In all his
life had he been so bowed down by
grief.
You knew before you came here"
he said sadly, that 1t wasn't for me to
separate husband and wife, and yet you
not only take up the valuable time Of
this court by talking, but you actually
propose to bride me with money. Now.
how much have you got in that sock?"

CURRENT COMMENT
Farmers, Raise More Beef.

No one feels the beef famine and high
prices more than the working man. The
cause of this condition is found in the
fact that the number of beef cattle is
decreasing in the United States. They
have declined from 52500000 in the
year 1907 to 81 100000 in 1912 Year
book of the dept. of agriculture, 1912,
page 62a), and the decline is going on
at the rate of about 100000 year,
says the Scientific American.
From this it is evident that the scar
city of meat and high prices is from
lack of supply, and not the trusts.
Florida is the only state in the union
in which the growing of cattle has in.
crea sed the past year, namely, from
10000 in 1911 to 75s,00O in 1912. Yer
mont, Massachusetts,. Rhode Island, are
the states in which there was no decline.
In all the other states, including the big
ranching states, the decline has been
heavy.
The only remedy for this is that the
farmers must raise more cattle. The
prices are such that the farmers can
make a good profit from this branch of
farming and the many acres of grazing
land become source of income. In
creased cattle raising and more inten-
sive farming win help solve the prob
lem of meat scarcity and excessive
prices.
Farmers will be looking after their
own interests if they take up this
branch of farming more fully and help
solve the problem of the high cost Of
living, and materially increase the in
come of their farms.-Iroton Times.

Now that Governor johnson has made
sharp attack on Gov. Wilson in his
own state of New Jersey it is to be
expected that Gov Wilson's compunc-
tions against hitting a man when he
is down will be swept away, because
johnson is simply standing in Roose-
velt's shoes and acting as Roosevelt
mouthpiece during Roosevelt's incapaci-
ty. The fine distinction which the Dem
ocratic candidate drew following the
shooting of Col. Roosevelt has lost much
of it's force.

The Rutland News calls attention t.
carelessness in safeguarding the lives
of school children in the following para
graph: against basement stairs with
out rails, sad warning comes from
Bellows Falls. In public school build
ing of that village, a six-year-old boy
took header off stairs thus unguard ed,
few days ago. He fell head first upon
a cement floor and died eleven hours
later. In private houses risks are taken
that public control cannot reach, but in
school building there is absolutely no
excuse for such danger as stairs I'M
guarded by a rail. School authorities
in other places may need 10 look into
such things as regard the school build
ings in their care" The warning of the
contemporary should be needed by every
school board in every community. 1t
is utterly foolish to leave unguarded
stairways like that which is reported
from Bellows Falls. The school board
which fails to look after this matter is
not doing its full duty.
