New York, February 1.-(Special.)-
Gnats, mosquitoes, jiggers and kindred
pests have stung Wall street into a
state of irritation difficult to understand
or describe. The disorder is only skin
deep, and in due course of time will pass
away. AT present. however, the sensation
is far from pleasant and everybody is
complaining. Stock market action Is ir-
regular, aimless and gives operators no
cue to act on. Nothing could conduce
more to feverishness and unrest. This
feeling has no way to give itself ex-
very narrow limits and the speculative
play is woefully insane excepting in a
few of the speeialties which are under
the absolute control of pools and indi-
vidual plungers.
1t has come to pass that the great
leaders on the list have been forced to
take back seats at times in favor of such
speculative things as American Can, Cali
fornia petroleum, copper and rubber.
Sterling stocks like Pennsylvania, New
York Central, Atchison, Baltimore and
Ohio, and Norfolk ana Western hardly
bulge, while the popular favorites of
the hour fluctuate wildly On the surface
the action Is seemingly meaningless. This
is not true. however, for the great forces
are at work behind the scenes and gov
erning sentimentswill one of these days
take form. Then, to use the language of

Attitude of Wilson and Sulzer
Excitement caused by the verbal ex-
ploitations of the two most conspicuous
progressive leaders-wilson and Sulzer-
is to certain extent dying out and the
alarm oceasioned by their earlier out
breaks has given place to a feeling of
partial serenity. From their later ut
terances it begins to appear as though
both of them when confronted face to
face with actualities are less anxious
than formerly to use the GLIB and the
bludgeon In prosecuting their campaigns
for nationl reform and uplift. The glove
instead of the club is to be used both
in Washington and in Albany. although
in the latter case local conditions may
compel the governor to be drastic in some
of his operations.
In a national sense. however, the Will
son programme seems to be less threat
ening. Leaders of Industrial and railroad
management and asso the kings of
finance no longer fear that what they
have accumulated in the past will be
taken away from them. They have been
told frankly that they will be allowed
to enjoy the fortunes they have amassed
down to date, but that in the future
they must be more careful in their meth
to the rights and feelings of the public.
This is clearly a compromise to the
rights and feelings of the public. This
is clearly a compromise situation and
suggests the imminent probability of final
adjustment by mutual conversions. This
is a very quieting condition and is an
element of foundation strength to the
stock market as well as to general BUSH
ness.
The consoling thought Is taking hold of
Wall street that the politicians at the
national and state capitols are realizing
affairs is the solvent element-and not
the noisy crowd that does the talking
and beats the drum. An overwhelming
majority of men who support the home
and who are dependent upon prosperity
are set against anything radically revo-
lutionary, although they tolerate the vo-
cal demonstration of the windy fellow.
When 1t comes down to actually doing
something, the politicians exercise. ais-
cretion and they are letting the thinh. &
public know that they understand the
situation and will act accordingly-or
not act, as the case may be. The lead
ers of Wall street and that means the
leaders of the business world are rather
ashamed for allowing themselves to be
thrown into a state erepidation by the
wild talk of revolutionary legislation.
not confiscatory. The spirit of compro-
mise seems to be taking possession of
leaders of thought on both sides and this
is a good thing for Wall street as well
as for the general public.

does not make our character. We
ourselves do that. And what we are

which is being written day by day, en-
craven deep on the soul-the immortal

write 1t in the ragged years of the end
of mis-spent life. Christ can forgive
the sins of a thief in his dying hour.
But he could not give him the char
acter of an honest man. The Bible
does not record the agony of remorse
that must have swept the soul of the
dying thief as he recalled his mis-
spent years and lost opportunities of
virtuous living and useful service. But
we who are yet in the flesh hold those
golden opportunities and can spare the
needless regret for their neglect. Let
us, then, pay heed TO our character

During the hot weather many farm

The cream separator should be

Experience teaches me that 1t Is
better to run the milk through the

LIQUOR SELLER is GREEDY
Industry Is Not Only Non-Productive
Of Good, but Produces Dangerous
CIass Of Non-Producers.

The liquor seller knows full well
that were 1t not for the nickels and
dimes of the workingmen-which ag-
gregate in year many more dollars
than the spenders are apt to think
many saloonkeeper might shut up
shop, many GROCERY be turned
into a grocery. 1t is The hard-earned
money Of the day laborer, the me-
chanic and the clerk which, pouring
steadily into the till of the liquor
seller, makes whisky trusts and beer
syndicates possible.
And what does the liquor dealer
give in exchange for the working
mans earnings of which, with other
merchants, he greedily claims a share?
Food, clothing, shelter happiness, i'm
provement? No. He gives in ex-
change that which robs him of all
these. He gives his customer that
which makes him poor indeed, in that
1t reduces the capacity of hand and
brain (as employers are finding out
to their cost and produces a mental
and moral degeneracy which renders

self against the autocracy Of capt
tai"
We claim that no industry has a
right to exist which does not con-
tribute in some measure to the gen
eral welfare and prosperity Of the
nation at large. AS in perfect
physical organism every organ and
every atom contribute to the health
and happiness Of the body as whole,
so true economic science would de-
clare that every human being should
be not only a consumer, but in some
degree, at least. producer, a con-
tributor to the well being of society
as a whole.
Now the liquor industry Is not
only non-productive of good, but It is
an actual and an active producer Of
an enormous and dangerous class OF
non-producers. The saloon, the gam
bling den, the brothel, the Jail. the
poorhouse, the insane asylum, all fur
nish their quota to the social discord,
all add to the sum of human misery,
and all are to more or less extent the
products of the liquor traffic. And
still "the trade" bids unblushingly for
it's share of the earnings of labor!

FEW QUEER ANCIENT RIDDLES
Archimedes, Famous Mathematician,
Spent Leisure In Production and
Solving of Puzzles.

Centuries ago Samson proposed q
riddle-the earliest of which history
treats-to the Philfstines, allowing
them week in which. to answer 1t, a
length of time that would have been
insufficient but for the assistance OF
Samson's wife
Hiram, king of Tyre, had mania
for constructing riddles, as also had
Solomon. and the wager Of an i'm
mense sum of money between the two
as to which could construct the most
perplexing one was won by the latter
Archimedes, the famous mathemati-
clan of Syracuse, passed most of his
ieisure-to the surprise of many of his
: friends-in the production or solving
of puzzles and his discovery OF how
much alloy it's maker had mixed with
the gold of King Hiero's crown was
nothing but the, solution Of puzzle.
The Greeks had a curious puzzle.
IF Achilles, racing with turtle,
gives the reptile 100 yards start, and
runs ten yards while the reptile runs
one, when will he overtake it"
theoretically, never; as a matter of
fact, he must in the course of time.
A perplexing question, one well cal
culated to catch the wise as well as
the unwary, was that proposed to the
Roman senate:
why does a pail of water. with a
fish swimming in it, weigh no more
than the same pail of water without
the fish,"
1t called forth much discussion from
the members of that august body, who
explained the singular circumstance in
different ways to their entire salts
faction, but found by experiment that
the pail of water did weigh more when
there was live fish In it.
An excellent. if an old, puzzle is:
How can a window having height
equal to its width be made twice as
large without increasing it's height or
width?
Impossible! o, no. In the first in
stance it Is shaped like a diamond,
then it is changed to a square.
