THE FEVER OF SPECULATION

The Walla WalIa Bulletin calls attention to the re-
newed activity of Wall street, after long period OF
ethergy The mania has reached greater height than
at any time since the Civil War Immense fortunes are
being won and lost by big plungers and little pungers
are rskng their money-and occasionally their employ
ers money-with reckessness equal to anything known
in the widest days of the stock exchange.
Two things are responsible for this sudden outburst
after several years of comparative caution and conserva
sm The boom in "war stocks and the surfet OF money
and credit When industrial securities rise hundreds OF
points in few months and some have done so, and oc
casonally Jump $40 $50 share night, no wonder
spectators lose their heads.
Much of the bull activity, however, is artificial The
big operators have been playing the market for all it is
worth using the legitimate jump in value of few stocks
to boost all that have anything to do with the manfac
ture of supplies Some market quotations hundreds
Of per cent higher than normal represent purely theoret
cal value based guesses at the profits on big orders
which may may not be realized The public is being
fooled into believing that these stocks worth what
they are quoted at and that all war stocks" going
keep soaring indefinitely that "bull" purchaser
can't lose.
Occasionally, of course they do lose, as defauting
teller of big New York bank realized the other day o
his Sooner later great many people all over
the United States are likely to lose. The woman
with few thousand dollars to invest had better keep out
of this frenzed war speculation The best stocks to buy
standard American stocks that don't depend war
orders or results for their profits.

THE PREMIUM ON SOBRIETY

Hereafter all promotions of whatever character"
says order of the United States Steel corporation
Twill be made only from the ranks of those who do not
indulge in the use of Intoxicating drinks"
Here is powerful temperance sermon in two dozen
words 1t is worth ponderng
To the officials of the steel corporation the drinking
of ntoxcants is not moral but an industrial question
They know that excessive indulgence units men for posi-
tons of responsibility They know that one who likely
any day to work under the influence of alcohol is
not to be trusted in the performance of exactng duties
The risk is too great
1t is not the employees health or his morals that con-
cem the company primarily, but his reliability Reli-
ability and tendency toward inebriety seldom keep COM
pany man who has one seldom has the other.
This action affecting steel workers is in line with sim
liar efforts to encourage sobrety throughout the world
Industrial chiefs issuing similar instructions every
day Increasing thousands of employees are coming with
in the scope of regulations which discriminate between
users and nonusers of ntoxcants There is lesson in

BALLAD OF Soc'L MAINTENANCE,

The butcher has his grievance, too,
The milkman wants his long-sought
pay,
The landlords in a dreadful stew;
The baker seems to have IN view
One end--to dun us early, late;
But then-what would you have us
do?
One must maintain ones social
state!
The back-stair carpet wears away,
In fact, it's ragged-it's not new
OF such we make no great display
To those who stroll our parlors
through;
Our parlors to the chosen few
Present an air of riches great,
To our true plight they give no clue
One must maintain ones social
q state!
IN truth, we would not--could not
say
That we have found enjoyment true
IN this our mode of life but stay!
The system on us claps the screw!
The Wealthy-Wonders led the crew.
We scnmp and pinch and initiate
What other course can we pursue?
One must maintain ones social
state!
