Wall Street Corrects History

pRECEDED by reception and luncheon, a
movement has been started in New York
City to correct the mistake, by virtue--or
vice--of which Boston is set down in the
history books the cradle Of American
liberty. 1t is significant that the sponsors of
this movement enjoy no less or lengthy a
designation than Lower Wall Street Business
Mems Association" designation which re-
vcals to the unintiate that "The Street has
at least two parts--a lower and upper
possibly mouth and a pocket.
With commendable appropriateness, the
Wall Street historians claim that the "battlc
of Golden HILL a military operation prac-
tcaly ignored by other historians and unsung
by major and minor poets, was, in fact the
harbinger of the Revolution, and that the
Boston Massacre, which took place a month
after the Golden Hill campaign, is a base
usurper Of the credit appertaining to the hill
of gold around which Wall Streets istorians
are now assembled.
IT may be taken for granted that the battle
will be long and furious. Bostons ammuni-
ten of beans and Goldfish balls will be reck-
lessly expended TO rout the Golden Killers.
The ancient accusation that IN the old days
New York was the home of Tories and Urea
SON. will doubtless be used with as much
effect as the more recent assertion that Wall
Street Is the habitat of Dollars and Devils. %

Plank and Bender and coombs

TO THE not inconsiderable portion of our
i population who take more interest in
baseball, whatever the season. than in any
subject on earth except themselves, the news
that Pitchers Plank, Bender and Coombs will
never again throw the pil'' for the Phila-
delphia Athletics is of infinitely more i'm
portance than would be tidings OF great
victory or defeat to either Of the teams now
playing the grimmest game Of all in Europe.
For these three had become almost demi-
gods in the eyes of the fanatics until Il few
weeks ago they Cracked" and acquired glass
arms under the assault Of the Bostonians
whom Mr.. Stallings had gathered fro1n pretty
much everywhere--except.B Boston The lean
Mr.. Cornelius Macgilicuddy better known to
many victories and one crushing defeat as

invincible Athletics, has decided that the use.
fulness Of these three pitchers Is at an end.
Therefore, he has asked for waivers on trio
that never wavered in their service to their
club, at least not until October, 1914.
The passing OF three such figures as these
into total partial oblivion might be used
by preacher text for homily on the
transformers of the things of the flesh and
the permanency of the things of the spirit.
But he would waste his breath if he expected
to convert one real fan" from that pathetic
form OF hero-worship which absorbs most of
his atruism, and probably not little of his
patriotism.

Fighting Profitable War

In the November American Maya
zine appears an article entitled "Edfson
In War Time" 1t is a report OF the
opportunities and responsibilities that
nave been opened up to the great
electrical wizard by the war. Edison
Is, of course, great manufacturer,
ana in his manufacturing needs large
quantities OF raw materials, many OF
which have previously been imported
from Europe. With these importations
cut off Edison has been working night
and day, and has inspired his asso.
cfates to almost superhuman labors.
One of his great achievements of the
last six weeks has been the erection
OF n plant In seventeen days to manu-
facture ton and a half of carboiic
acid per day-requ.red In the manu-
facture OF his phonogfaph discs. Up to
the outbreak OF the war all OF this
carbolic acid was imported from Eu-

largest consumer of carboiic acid ii,

unselfsh and intelligent assistance press and

problems solution
1t ought not to be overlooked that the COM
pany asks Council to fix higher rates OF fares
than are now charged. It's theory is that, as
the average length of haul has increased since
the franchises regulating fares were granted
and the cost of street railway transportation
also has advanced, there should be CORE
spending increase in fares.
While no details Of the proposed advances
are revealed, it may be taken for granted that
the company will ask the abrogation of all or
part OF the following advantages that Rich

granted that the withdrawal Of any OF these

Making Corporate Guilt Persona,

7 INDICTMENT of twenty-one directors and
former directors of the New Haven Rail-
, road for violations of the Sherman antitrust
law is evidence OF this administrators con-
vction that corporate guilt necessarily is per-
sonal guilt, and of the administrations pur-
pose that lawbreating Of this character shall
be followed by punishment.
OF course, the charges made have not been
proved. II Will be for court and Jury to
pass finally on the question OF the defendants
guilt or innocence. The point is that these
men, conspicuous figures many OF them in the
financial history of the country for the last
twenty years, and to whom control OF u great
railroad property was intrusted, have been
called to answer, and that they must render
an account Of their Stewardship not only to
the stockholders OF the New Haven, but at
the bar of Justice.
