dermines Market.

Years-Pressure on Kansas and
Texas-Closing Is Firm.

several years.
New Haven, Texas Company, Louis
willie. Corn Products preferred and
Bethlehem Steel preferred fell I to 2
points.
The leading speculative stocks which
barely changed at the opening eased
off later under the influences Of these
declines.
Special liquidation of railroad and in
tlustrial stocks undermined the mar
ket and prices fell slowly, after offer
ing some resistance to pressure.

Kansas and Texas shares testified to
renewed foreign liquidation. Canadian
Pacific fell 1as. Kansas and Texas 1A
and the preferred 34.
Blocks of Steel Unloaded.
Foreign selling gave direction to the
stock market during the morning. Lon
don sold Canadian Pacific, Steel and
Kansas & Texas, the last for Dutch
holders.
Room traders followed the lead Of
foreign representatives and sold stock
Blocks of 1000 to 2,5O0 shares of Steel
were unloaded and the effect of this
selling was shown in the gradual spread
of heaviness in other quarters.
Losses of the favorite shares were not
severe, but the wide breaks occurred
among the specialties and weaker rail-
roads.
Pressure on Kansas and Texas was due
to reports that the preferred dividend
might be passed at the meeting of the
directors later in the month. Earnings on
the stock dnring the eight months of the
fiscal year have been at the rate of only
2.1o per cent

eral market by the drastic liquidation Of

Thinks Monopoly Necessary.

Newspapers employing none but union
labor, said James M. Lynch of New York,
former president of the International
Typographical Union, can produce more
cheaply than non-union newspapers. He
described in detail agreements between
his organization and the American News
paper Publishers Association and said
that a national wage scale in the newa-
paper publishing business would be i'm
possible unless a practical monopoly were
established.
Edward A. Crane, an architect Of Phil
adelphia, and o. NJ. Eidlitz Of New York

both sides must be thoroughly organized
in order to get the best results. and

by young fellows who think they can
beat the game" J. T. Williams of this
city, president of the building trades de-
partment of the American Federation Of
Labor. and W. J. Spencer. secretary and

scribed successful efforts to do away

ciliation.

ing such a board with the powers of COM

George L. Berry of Tennessee, presi-
dent Of the International Printing Press

the organizations of the employers and
employees of different industries and in

local and national arbitration. He favor

The Value of Control.

The opposing pitchers in a twenty-one-
inning game Of base ball. the Messrs, Rube Mar
guard and Babe Adams. when asked what they
regarded as the chief element OF their achieve
ment, replied alike:
Control"
They both expressed the feeling they could
have thrown every ball pitched into lineup.
The peerless Mathewson is made great be-
cause of his control. So Is every other great
pitcher Youngsters aspiring to fame In the
box on base ball diamonds make the fatal mis-
take II they fail to put control above every other
factor OF their work. They may have ali the
curves and speed there is. but without control
they will go back every time.
SO It is in every other game OF life, the fell
low without control OF his own powers fails.
Only he who has 1t wins. 1t has been SO all
through history, Mighty men have vanquished
their hosts in battle. destroyed or built empires
and wept for larger conquests. yet lacking the
power OF self-control been consumed at last by
selfish lusts.
He that ruleth his own spirit is greater
than he that taketh city" Perhaps II there
had been more of this power OF self-control
among some of the great monarchs OF Europe
war would not now be darkening the universal
sky. In the big as well as the little channels
OF life this power OF self-control shows itself
nowhere more conspicuously than in the ability
TO ward off or ignore purely personal affronts
without magnifying them beyond all sensible
proportions into causes OF bitterness and war
Men too often mistake power for the vain ex
hibition OF force or might. Power may be both
developed and demonstrated best by rational
conservation than wild exercise OF II.

Fixing the Rates

Philadelphia Record: The Interstate
Commerce commission is riding for fall.
Philadelphia Ledger; The decision OF
the Interstate Commerce commission
seems to be that the passengers should

Washington Post: About the only
chance left for eastern railroads In view
OF the Interstate Commerce commission

Louisville Courier-Journal: President

lieves In the higher cost OF living. OF

no doubt about it.
New York Commercial: The commits
sion seems to be now even more at issue
with the public than with the railroads.
Freight rates are indirect levies. but pas
senser rates are direct taxation OF the
individual.

Of managers and agents and the repre-
sentstives of public authority, with de-

A National Sorrow

While hesitating to intrude upon the sacred
ness Of the presidents grief the American peo-
pie share the afflcton that death lays upon
the official head OF their nation. They sorrow
with the president and those about him bereft
OF wife and mother. Mingled with their sorrow
is the spirit Of admiration for the unmurmuring
fortitude with which the approaching inevitable
was endured in the privacy Of the family circle.
Mrs Wilson was said to have been one OF
the most accomplished and capable women to
whom the honor of being first lady Of the land,
ever came Yet she lived her attachments
largely in the quieter seclusion from public
lily, not without extending her influence and her
works through channels OF human need. She
was one of the wives who rendered practical
help and service to the devoted husband on
whom deyolved the stern duties Of a chief mag
istry. Her legacy to the country, therefore, lies
chiefly In the example of the worthiness OF
woman exalted and exalting her sphere.

nr.adinp the ResponsibilitY.

Already European nations begin to dread
the responsibility of the threatened slaughter.
Their faces shorn Of the mask Of peaceful pre-
tense. yet reveal the fear Of consequences. Ger
many thus early issues its white Book" ex-
planning the progress Of events leading to war
in justification OF its course Each nation in
turn blames the other. A cartoonlst who senses
the situation shows Austria pointing a scornful
finger at Servis and servia at Austria; Russia,
France, England and Belgium at Germany and
Germany at Russia, while Italy stands with
arms folded in the background.
But fixing the blame is the task of history.
It probably will divide the responsibility as be-
tween the several nations long engaged in
mounting momentous machinery OF destruction
and desolation. Europe has been sitting for
years at the mouth of a volcano awaiting the
eruption. Zoo many monarchs evidently have
been seeking a means OF indicating their mad
military policies for any one to be solely at
fault Now, the war lords seem to have de-
creed the time has come to demonstrate the
necessity and. therefore, the wisdom, of their
extravagant systems.
