November end-of-the-month compila-
tfons showed many new high records es-
tablished in various branches OF nnance
and trade and went far toward explain
ing the advancing tendency of security
prices on the stock exchange. Record
exports, bond sales, bank clearings and
railroad earnings were reported. Today
the Pennsylvania report for October
showed figures which surpassed all pre-
vious totals. The increase, in fact. was
almost double the big gain shown in Sep
tember Incidentally the return on the

4.46 per cent for the corresponding period
last year.
other roads having record October
earnings were the st. Paul, the Chicago
and Northwestern, the Erie, the Boston
and Maine and several more. Some new
records for steel mill bookings were also
made in November, in many cases gains
running from % to 40 per cent. in excess
of any month previous to October.
The Street was somewhat disappointed
with tho action of the local railroad
group of stocks today. Even Pennsyl-
vana failed entirely to reflect the fine
showing and even receded a fraction, but
there was no pressure to sell. Traders,
more or less, ignored the general local
list and concentrated on Cambria Steel.

Judge Steele BaIks For Cupid.

District Judge Edgar C. Steele,
it was brought out last week, will not
perform marriage ceremony. When
asked to do SO the judge declined.
Here are his reasons:
In all my years upon the bench |
have never performed marriage GER
emony, and in this instance | cannot
change my determination not to do so,
though people have perfect right to
ask me to do SO, and the law says |
may. But | believe the performance
of the marriage vows is a moral cues
tion and people seeking marriage
should secure the services of a mini
ster by whom they may be forcibly
impressed with the marriage vows.
i reached decision early in my
judicial career not to perform mar
riage ceremony for two reasons. One
was because of the moral question in
volved and the other because of the
possibility of the same parties appear
ing before me in divorce proceedings.
| guess I'm. too tender-hearted, but
divorce matters at best are tragedies
IN life, and few people realize the
conflicting emotions that beset a Judge
IN dealing with this character of
cases..

An Able Discussion of U. is. Preparedness

brief synopsis of the sentiment ex-
pressed by more than 80 senators and
representatives on the plans. | OBJ
serve in reading them that much the
larger number of those quoted lay
stress on the navy rather than on the
army, arguing that with a powerful
navy no nation would be able to land
a large army on either of our coasts.
Some of them said in as many words,
LET us build a navy second only to
that of Great Britain" do not
comprehend why, if the United States
decides TO enter the contest, and
classify itself with the great militant
notions of the world, it should be sec
ond to any nation. With its wealth of
resources in men and money it might,
if SO resolved, build squadrons and
fleets more numerous, armed with
more and larger guns, and manned
with more men than the British navy
has now or can in the future assemble
and maintain. If we are going into
this war business let US go the full
length. and give notice to the world
that we take no second place.
Lord Roseberry, former British
premier, lately said that The knew
nothing more >disheartening than the
announcement recently made that the
United States, the one great country
left in the world free from the hid
eous bloody burden of war, is about
to embark upon the building of a
huge armada destined to be equal or
second to our own He added that
this purpose would compel all nations
now heavily burdened to continue to
carry their loads, and the rest to
assume new burdens. The new dis
heartening reasoning could be applied
with double force to Great Britain in
asmuch that as our nation has already
built the largest navy in the world
and before the present war its premier
defantly announced its purpose to
build and maintain two warships to
any other nations one. 1t is not on
account of this policy that the race
of several great nations in building
warships has been running, and now
by reason of the world war. larger
number of nations is to enter the
race?
For the life of me IAannot under
stand why the government and people
of this country should at this time
feel or forecast danger, or fear an
attack from any European or Asiatic
nation. Surely the great nations of
Europe will have had enough Of war
after peace is restored, and their re-
sources in men and money will be so
far exhausted that they will be only
too glad to keep the peace. Certainly
no one Of them or a combination of

them will dare attack the giant of
the west, even if they had good cause.
Have they any real cause or griev-
ance against this nation of sufficient
gravity to base war upon? know of
none. AS for China, she is our friend,
and besides is not a warlike nation
Japan is our friend. too, so far as
outward professions go, but if dis
posed to be an enemy would hardly
commit hari kari in contest with US.
What has become of the campaign
for disarmament, so much in evidence
a few years ago? Where is the world
wide movement for the arbitration of
disputes between nations and their
settlement by reason and justice :?
What has become of the boosted
spread of Christ teachings of peace
and good will among men; of the pro-
gress of civilization, and the usher
ing in of the brotherhood of man and
the fatherhood of God, of which the
United States has in times not long
past been the champion and leader ?
Have all fallen into the cave of
gloom?

Some Road Sense.

When you see stream of water
coursing down the wagon tracks you
know something is wrong. That road
is not being helped any by that water.
The drag, if properly used, will re-
move the trouble. 1t must be used,
though, after EVERY rain or wet
spell. 1t may take a long time to
get this thing of proper road dragging
in good, effective working order-but
so it has all really good things.
Human nature seems ever disposed
to fuss all around the real idea until
forced by circumstances to adopt it.
We are prone to feel like the other
fellow is trying to push something
new on us and combat it on that ac-
count if on no other. In case of road
dragging, however, just forget the
other fellow-don't worry about him,
but every time your road needs
dragging, drag it. Good dirt roads
are maintained in other, older parts
of the country. They are just as pos
sible here.
