NEW YORK. oct. 23.-In spite of

 But the close was well above the low points of the day. There has been a distinct improvement in cer- tain issues. TOday's report of idle car movement showed that for a time this season there was a short age of freight cars. Rates for both time and call money were lowered to- cay. Despite these improving ten dencies the feeling of the trading element as a whole remained dis tinctIy bearish. Steel was unloaded
 in rapid succession in large blocks during the early trading and it's re- cession of nearly points did much to force down the list as a whole. American stocks were marked down In London before the opening here. and the decline abroad was followed Dy the disposal of 15.0OO more shares

 The intimation of Chairman Elliott Of the New Haven, at the annual meeting that the dividend rate would probably be cut to 4 per cent caused q slump of 3 points in that stock to 82, a new low record.

The Civic Christmas.

At ) o'clock this afternoon a light will
flash from the topmost branch of a great
evergreen tree planted n the center of
the Capitol plaza, and as the darkness
falls other lights viii! appear. until the
tree is fully illuminated. Groups of chill
dren will then dance and sing carols of
the Christmas time. instrumental music
will be rendered of an appropriate char
acter. and the multitude assembled will
participate by their presence in a great
civic celebration of the Christmas season.
This inspiring mode of ushering in the
birthday of Christ, In commemoration of
the event of centuries ago. is new de-
velopment in the United States of late
years. Indeed. 1t has only been done two
or three times before recently, but il is
in truth merely a revival of an old CUSTOM
and IL is to be hoped that locally this is
but the commencement of a series of
public Christmas observances, growing in
scope and consequently in significance
from season to season.
Individual observance of Christmas has
carried to such an extent that some such
general form of commemoration is neces-
sary TO bring back the true Significance
of the occasion to the people. Christmas
is not merely time of gift making 1t

This Mornings Fire.

Washington is fortunate TODAY in hay
ing escaped a disaster of magnitude in
the fire which broke out in the early
| hours of the morning in a store building
in one of the busiest blocks of the city,
and which for time threatened the de-
struction of the entire group of buildings
in that space. Especially is it a matter
for congratulation that the fire depart
ment. which did such splendid work in
fighting the flames and confirming them to
the initial premises, suffered no losses of
life. although five of its members were
severely injured, almost miraculously es-
Gaping from instant death. The heroism
disp aged by the fire fighters in their
work of tinguishment and later of res
cue cannot be too highly praised Had
these men not answered the call to duty
with the promptness and the spirit dis
played, the city must have suffered one
of the greatest fire disasters in it's his
tory.
This blaze was fortunately kept within
practically the original premises. but had
1t escaped and enveloped surroundine
property, not all of the apparatus in the
District could have availed to hold it in
check. Enormous losses must have oc-
CURED in such case, as the entire block
is one of highly concentrated values. This
fire again illustrates the urgent need of
the high-pressure service which was
recommended some years ago as a sure
safeguard against conflagration in the
business district of the capital. The
present fire department is efficient in an
exceptional degree and can cope with a
single blaze of magnitude. But when it
is engaged in fighting such a fire as that
of this morning the city Is virtually left
exposed to the possibility of destruction
in any other quarter. Had another fire
which developed later in the morning not
been quickly subdued the total losses
would have BEEN tremendous, probably
far exceeding the initial cost of a high
pressure installation in the business Sec
ton. 1t is impressive to note that during
the period of these two fires twenty-seven
of the thirty-six engine companies of the
District were in active service and that
If In that time a fire had occurred in the
eastern section of the city it would have
been necessary to call into service a

is bestirring himself to that end. He dis
claims any other purpose in his odlcial
movements.
But Gov. Glynn suspects him. He sees
politics in Mr.. whitman's desire for en-.
larged power, and, while declaring that
it is beyond his official athority so to
arm the district attorney frankly says
that he would not do it if he could.
The contest may prove very pretty
one. AS a matter of fact, the two men
may oppose each other next year for the
office of governor. If Gov. Glynn reunites
his party and puts it into vigorous form
again, his nomination for a full term in
the governorshp would be the wisesi
step his party could take. ignoring with
out hesitation what he has said on the
subject.
Ii Mr.. Whitman continues his successes
against the grafters, and cleans up the
big town and helps clean up the state,
he will be very attractive figure for
state leader in the republican party, and
may be it's nominee for governor. He
has much to recommend him aside from
his excellent official record.
But IL in this clash, or later, the public
loses. and the unpublished grafters gain
advantage. both Gov. GIynn and Mr..
Whitman may suffer in their political
fortunes. For. of course. in such cir
cumstances, each would blame it on

Dangers of the Season.
From the Boston Transcript.

Each season has its dangers The skat
ing tragedies have begun, the first among
the victims being three lads in Ware
who in disobedience of parents orders
ventured on thin ice while on their way
to school. Children lack experience: the
smooth, CONCEALED surface is very allur.
ing, and with the confidence born of i'm
maternity they yield to temptation. 1t Is
a very common and very proper practice
to teach school children the perils Of
fire. In some cities lecturers are EN-
ployed to attend the various schools tC
impress upon the children the dangers Of
the street and the highway. 1t is hard
ly less necessary at this time that they
should be grounded in the importance oil
avoiding thin ice, especially over deer
water. 1t may take line upon line anC
precept upon precept, but the resul
would justify the effort.

The Constitution of Peace.

Mr. Wilson, like Mr. Roosevelt, is
felicitous as a phrasemaker. He started
off with The New Freedom" and now
he gives us The Constitution of Peace. y
The optimistic and reassuring tone of
the Presidents deliverance appeals to
every one whether in or out of business.
ard the whole country will hope that his
forecast of renewed confidence and pros
perity may prove to be accurate.
The President puts great store by the
new currency law and cornmends it in the
strongest terms. He consratulates all
associated with framing and projecting it.,
not neglecting acknowledgements to those
republicans and progressives who after
futile efforts to amend it. accepted 1t as,
upon the whole, an Improvement on ex-
listing law, archaic in many particulars.
Now, says the President in effect, let
us all go to work in dead earnest and
revive things. We have new tariff law
constructed on lines to liberaize trade
and new currency law designed to
elasticiZe circulation. and. together. they
should do for business all that business
requires.
This sentence appears in the Presidents
address:
We have slowly been coming to this
time which has now. happily, arrived
when there is a common recognition of
Inc things that it is undesirable should
be done III business and the THINKS that
II IS desirable should be done
Is not this little strong-a little too
optimistic? Have we reached such .'com-
mon recognition? If We had, would not
all our troubles-with trusts in particular
be near an end?
As ma of fue
the throes of the great question of what
is desirable and what undesirable in the
conduct of big business, judged from the
viewpoint of public interests? Have we
not still before US the problem of sorting
and dealing with the trusts. encouraging
the good ones and Tightening the rein on
the bad ones?
Business, We all know, is .'enlight-
reached our present bulk and altitude as
producing and trading nation, doing big
things at home, and things abroad con-
stantly growing bigger. In fact, we
have done SO much that the question of
new and improved distribution of
rewards has now come to occupy the
greatest attention. The complaint is that
the man at the top gets too much, and
the man at the bottom too little.
On the trust question we are soon to
hear from the President. He has taken
II south with him, and will ponder it
on his brief vacation. And as that is a
part Of the general question of the re-
Xival of business and confidence, too
much should not be expected of the new
currency Law until the Presidents trust
program has been submitted to and dealt
With by Congress.

The man who misses all the fun
Is he who says 1T can't be done!'
In solemn pride he stands aloof
And greets each venture with reproof.
Had he the power, he'd efface
The history of the human race;
We'd have no steam nor trolley cars,
No streets lit by electric stars;
No telegraph nor telephone.
We'd linger in the age of stone,
Where when some keen barbaric brain
OF life's conditions dared complain,
And planned wheel on which to roll
The load his arms could not control,
Sneers rose from all the mighty crew
That ever SCOTS at what is new.
The world would sleep if things were
run
BY men who say, 1T can't be done.

Christmas Giving.
.om the New York World.

From the New York World.
With due respect to the spugs and all
other more or less uncheerful givers, what
glorious thing it is that there is one
season in which the hard rules of life are
set aside! Christmas is fatal to political
economy, cent per cent and value re-
ceived; it puts a check upon thrift; it de-
pletes wage envelopes and bank accounts
ii throws caution to the winds, and fol
the moment it dethrones suspicion, judg-
ment and discrimination. People take
chances at Christmas that they reject at
other times. The fear that they may be
deceived, that they may help the un-
worthy. that they may encourage idleness
and fraud, and that they may cripple
their own finances disappears to a large
extent at Christmas. To run all these
very serious risks and yet enjoy the Zest
of it; to do things that a month ago
would have been deemed crazy to scatter
instead of to save: to trust and sympa-
thize instead of to doubt and scorn-these
are the changes that take place in mil
lions of men and women for few days
at least once a year.

There can be little doubt that the un-
deriving cause of the cheating of Justice,
and the consequent announcement of
crime is the empty sentiment that act
yates so many OF the law-abiding to rush
to the aid of the criminal. Where there is
a disposition to enforce the penalty there
is usually an organized movement to pre-
vent it. In most cases the plan succeeds.
