The Extremes of the stock Market

The Extremes of the Stock Market.
After a long period of scraping
along on bed rock bottom, the stock
market has advanced. Sentiment on
the various exchanges is more hope
full.
The public that watches from afar
the doings of the spectators should
not think that this is necessarily a
favorable time for them to engage
secured by those who buy when hope
prevails on Wall street. The time
to make money, if ever, is when Wall
street is convinced that the country
lis headed straight for the kennels.
A few bargains can then be picked
up.
The stock broker sees everything
either all sunlight or all pitch black.
There are no intermediate shades of
twilight.
The man who can risk his whole
career on the roulette wheel of
stock investments has the gambling
spirit. If gamblers were regarded
as socially acceptable, he would
place his shiny coins on the green
cloth.
When he is hopeful, he cannot ad-
nit the possibility of clouds and
storms. He buys at top level prices.
These are based on fictitious valua-
tions. They assume the persistence
of flexible money markets, and dis
regard the yeasting social unrest
that must shake the business fabric
for long time.
When this type of man is con-
verified to the bear" position, he
goes to the opposite extreme. He
ignores the fundamental common
sense of the American people. He
fails to see that all political parties
want prosperity, and that any politi-
cal party will make many flop and
reversals to keep in power. Depres-
sion never goes far before it rights
itself.
Wherefore no man is fit to spend
a dollar on stock investment who de-
ponds much on the dope fed out by
these sporting gents. 1t is as unre-
liable as tips on the races.

They're Still Changing The Inausur-
al Date.

al
Shortly after George Washington
became president the suggestion
arose that the Inauguration should
be changed from March to January,
or to April or May, or some other
old date Senator Shafroth of Col
orado is the latest Don QuiXote to at
tack the inaugural windmill, and he
finds that political tangles and bad
weather would be jointly eliminated
by cutting out the extra short session
of Congress and having the president
come into Office on the first day of
the year.
Soaking the Stock Exchanges.
Some of the Democratic leaders
are in real earnest in their desires
to put the screws on stock exchange
methods. A measure has been intro
duced in Congress by Senator Owen,
which prevents the use of the mails,
telegraph and telephone, in further
ance of fraudulent and harmful tran
sactions on stock exchanges.
Child Labor TO be Barred From
Commerce.
After many years of efforts to Sc
cure rigid restrictions with reference
to child labor, and in conformity to
public demand that children be
saved from the great NAV of the
factories. Representative Palmer of
Pennsylvania proposes to bar from
interstate commerce the output OF
any plant employing children under
fourteen years OF age, or which works
children under sixteen years of age
more than eight hours a day. Repre-
sentative Palmer is floor leader of the
House, and holds a place of peculiar
importance in the lower body of Con-
gress. He is a member of that body
because he prefers it to place in the
Presidents Cabinet, which was offer
ed him at the beginning of the Will
son administration. At the time OF
the declination of the portfolio it be-
came known that Mr.. Palmer's heri-
tage of the Quaker beliefs and GUS
toms had, in his own opinion, dis
qualified him for management of the
instruments of warfare. So far as is
known he is the original and only liv-
ing Democrat to decline so great q
place in the government. But the
same kindly instinct that caused hin
to turn aside from the nature patti
! of advancement and ambition be
cause of an Unborn interest in hu
mainly, is found in this child labol
| bill. 1t is no doubt drastic legisla
ton, and goes farther than the pro
visions of the Kenyon bill, which
has attracted attention in the Senate

along river routes and across hot
sands, who have an idea that only
in Jerusalem could one find acacias,
and our knowledge of the tree in
it thrived principally in spring. Shat
tered must be all of those fond and
cherished beliefs, since Uncle Sam S
men, who are posted, tell us that
there are about $50 species of acaci-
as, 500 of which are Australian
species, and the rest scattered over
the world, principally in Asia, Afri-
ca and America. In California it
has been demonstrated that the aca-
cia is we'll adapted to the reclama-
ton of drifting sand dunes. This has
been demonstrated on the California
beach, directly exposed to heavy
gales and dense fogs. In Golden
Gate Park, San Francisco, the acacia
has been used in making a magnifi-
cent forest of a waste Of drifting
sand. The principal use of the tree
has been in tan bark, and all of the
, leading tan bark acacias come from
Australia. The acacia timber is
beautifully grained from contact with
the ground. The larger trees grow
more than 100 feet high, with a
trunk clear of branches for fifty or
sixty feet, and diameter of from
two to four feet. Those which are
most used for commercial products,
and particularly for tanning, do not
need to attain large size or great age
before the products are merchanta-

VIII Not Annihilate the Democracy.
Now 1.-The daughter of Mark Han
ma" has brought her foot down in
that same emphatic way as did her
illustrious father when subordinates
did not walk the chalk line. Mrs.
Mccormick is the chairman of the
VI LhC Ava
tional Woman's Suffrage Association,
and she has made her position most
emphatic by declaring as unauthoriz-
ed the statement of the younger suf-
fragettes, who because they were dis
pleased with the action of one of the
committees of Congress threatened
to bring the forces of Suffragists ev-
erywhere into play to help encompass
the defeat of the Democrats. In the
language of Mrs. Mccormick this
statement is perfectly foolish" Mrs.
Mccormick says that the young Ia
dies who have brought forth this idea
have done so because lit is simply a
desire to be spectacular. The suf-
fragist lobby-for it is nothing else,
is said to have devised one of the
most systematic campaigns ever sci
in motion to carry on a political pro-
gram in Washington.

and what not? to inject little Chris
tan humility into the workers, there
by depriving them of their really re-
evolutionary spirit which is so essen
tial to real success.
The conclusion 1 mainly wish to
reach from the above remarks is, and
let this be remembered: The future
victories of labor, together with the
less and less formidable attitude on
the part of capital, will not come
through the activities of humanitar-
ian or religious movements, but solely
through the rising consciousness on
the part of the workers that for every
blow which the capitalist strikes they
must retaIiate with as many as they
have at their immediate command
