No Weakness in Market

The financial markets presented evil
dence during the earlier days of the
week of a tendency on the part of some
OF the large interests to take profits that
had accrued as result of the recent
sustained rise in the stock exchange price
level, said Henry Clews, in his weekly
financial review.
Selling of this character, not unnatu-
rally, served as a temporary check upon
the enthusiasm and strength that so dis
tinctly were the features of the preced-
ing week. But definite weakness, how
ever, did not develop.
Neither was there corresponding re-
action in the volume of business. The
market seemed, for the moment, to have
lost its sparkle and declined moderately,
change suggestive of a necessary re-
adjustment that did not essentially alter
more distant prospects. That such a
view was justified was indicated by the
sharp and general advances that suisse
quently took place.

THE BLACK VULTURE

BY George Sterling.
Aloof upon the days immeasured dome
He holds unshared the silence of the
sky,
Far down his bleak relentless eyes de-
scry
The eagles empire and the falcon s
home
Far down, the galleons of sunset roam
His hazards of the sea of morning lie:
Serene, he hears the broken tempest
Where cold sierras CLEAN like scattered
foam
And least of all he holds the human
swarm
Unwilling now that envious men pre-
pare
To make their dream and it's fulfill
ment one,
When, poised above the caldrons of the
storm,
Their hearts contemptuous of death
shall dare
His roads between the thunder and
the sun.

was game youngster, too. He and his

Labor Solid for Wilson

The efforts of the republicans to dis
count the strength which President Will
son has with the labor vote of the coun-
try will deceive no one who is we'll posted
OH conditions" said Guy Redden of Sui
ligent, assistant circuit solicitor for La
mar county, who was at the Burt hotel
yesterday.
The republican leaders are trying to
make themselves and the general public
believe that the railroad employees who
were affected by the Adamson bill are
the only laboring men who are interested
in the reelection of the President How
ever, from reading number of influen-
tial papers from different parts of the
country, 1 have been convinced that la
Dor throughout the entire country will
vote almost solidly for the President, no
matter to what craft they may belong.
The laboring people are convinced that
in President Wilson they have a man
who will see that they get what he be-
lieves to be their rights, and they are
for him. Hughes, on the other hand has
a record as governor of New York which
is not especially pleasing to the working
men of the country. Then, he is not in
the class with the President in the mat
ter of public speaking and writing.
Hughes established reputation as a cold
man, not especially interested in the
people, as a whole, cannot be overcome
in this campaign no matter how much
he may try to make himself a regular
good fellow I am becoming more con-
WINGED each day that the President will

Credit for Sunday School Work

Children attending the public schools
will be given credit for Sunday school
work in their classes this year." said
DIR. ]. H. Phillips superintendent of city
schools, yesterday. THE plan of allow
ing school children credit for the work
they did in Sunday school was adopted
last year. All that is necessary is for
the child to ask the teacher for blank
Sunday school card. This card is to be
placed in the hands of the Sunday school
teacher and if the child is a regular
Sunday school pupil and studies well, the
teacher will verify this fact on the card
and give it to the child who will get
credit for the work upon handing it in.
Various plans have been tried in diff
ferent parts of the country, but our plan
has proved quite successful. Several
cities in Alabama have adopted the Bir-
mingham plan,' as it is now known. The
scheme has been approved by most of the
state Sunday school associations. The
cooperation of a pupils Sunday school
teacher with his regular school teacher
helps the pupil as well as the teachers a
great deal.''

appreciation of what the democrats

For many years the republicans
have been talking about the need of
a rural credits system which would
enable the farmer to borrow money
from a loan association bank under
government auspices. But it ended in
talk. 1t was left for the democrats
to act.
The rural credits act will do for
the tillers of the soil what the federal
reserve bank is doing for the business
interests of the country. 1t may not
be perfect in all its details, but it is
a great measure and any little flaws
