RAILS FEATURE
 OF FIRM MARKET
Union Pacific Report Helps Boom
 Railroad Shares

Wall St.-Industrials and specialties formed the basis of the moderate &C., tlVity at today's opening, mostly at higher prices. Gains ranging from fractions to two points were made by New York Airbrake, International Pa per, Bag and Paper preferred, Ameri- can Linseed common and preferred, Studebaker, and some of the active munitions and equipments. Rails, particularly Union and Southern Pa cifics, Lehigh Valley and Denver and Rio Grande preferred, were appreci- ably better. Bethlehem Steel yielded three points, with irregular recessions ill metals.
 Irregular tendencies developed be- fore the end of the first hour, that period being the dullest in more than a month. Steel, Reading and other favorites were under intermittent pressure, their places being taken by Central Leather at the high record of
 75 B, the paper group, sugars and
 other specialties which derived their main support from pools. Before mid
 day, however, trading again shifted
 to high grade rails, including Nor
 folk and Western to the new maxi
 mum of 140A, Union Pacific, Pennsyl- Vanla, New York central ana llllnOlS Central, their gains effecting gener- al recoveries elsewhere. Bonds were firm.
 The advancing movement was fur ther stimulated on publication ot the Union Pacific annual statement, which surpassed all records for that system. Rails in general extended their gains of the morning and other prominent stocks were firmer.
 The railway group continued to dominate the market, Norfolk and Western passing it's previous high rec ord, with pronounced strength in other coalers and Pacifics. The closing was strong.

Speaking in round numbers, the
money in actual circulation in the
United States a year ago was a little
less than $3s per capita and now is
about $42 per capita, an increase of
about "a per capita or a little more
than 10 per cent. OF gold coin alone.
there was an increase from about IS
per capita to $3.50 per capita, or 80 per
cent. This great increase in gold In
circulation has been due to shipments
of gold to this country by the nations
at war to pay for supplies. Increased
gold means vastly greater increases in
credit, and a business situation which
many people call imitation. 1t is a
condition brought on by the war and 1t
will last as long as the war continues.

One Clear Conscience,

And they all began, with one 40.
cord, to make excuse. Like the guests
Of the parable. the numerous heads Of
bureaus at Republican Headquarters
have been seeking to explain how an
election which was so clearly won in
June was so closely lost in November.
Amid it all there is one man who
needs no excuse. That is the candid
ate for the Presidency. Mr.. Hughes
did all that was humanity possible to
secure his election. He constantly in
creased in power Of utterance-and wa
venture to say that no man on the
stump in America ever made a more
vigorous series of political addresses
than those delivered by Mr.. Hughes
in the last two weeks of the canvass.
But his vigor and his sincerity were
not sufficient 10 overcome the initial
mistakes Of the campaign.
Mr.. Hughes was engulfed in flood
Of misinformation whose receding tide
now leaves him free from any necessity
to Join the great army Of excuse-mak-
ers. He did his full part. conscien-
tiously and sturdily. If those who
called themselves his managers had
had his candor and his spirit Of COM
plete cooperation. there would now be
no need for anyone to make excuses.

say on the subject of House Banking.
intimated that he was going to send the
editor Of the Btddeford Journal pictures
| Of some of the things he had got to
keep from freezing this winter The
party of the second part took this re-
mark of the party of the first part as
characteristic bit of airy persifiage and
thought no more about 1t until he re-
ceived by mail package which. on be-
ing opened, was found to contain two
photographs. One Of these inscribed
Way Chad Gets Corned," represents
Chad in the midst Of a field Of growing
| corn. He appears almost smothered in
the luxuriant foliage, which rises far
above his head. It Is an artistic pic
ture. as artistic and suggestive as any
we have seen since we last gazed upon
that historic view. done as a steel en-
craving. representing Moses in the Bull
PUSHES. The second picture is fully as
artistic and even more interesting. 1t
might well be called AN Adamless
Eden" if Chad had only kept out of
sight. This picture is inscribed PAS
nips and Other Garden Sass" The
scene is in a real garden, apparently.
In the foreground Chad is posed holding
a basket which. presumably. contains
some of the fruits of his agricultural
efforts. Grouped around him are three
young ladies. These young ladies by
themselves make a perfect picture, but
as foil to Chad's particular style of
beauty they do double duty in being
their own best excuse for making the
male figure in the composition stand out
like sore thumb on the right hand of
Fate. These are some of the things
Chads got to keep from freezing and no
one can blame him for making a thor
ough study of the best way to bank his
house against the assaults of Jack
Frost.
Ihese pictures are a welcome addi-
ton to collection of pictures which we
propose to use to illustrate our forth
coming masterpiece. a book on New
England Editors and Their Avoca-
tlons.' work which we shall begin lust
as soon as we have acquired a compe-
tence and can afford the time necessary
for the task contemplated Incidental
ly. the pictures were welcome as giving
us something to write about after two
years of routine war stuff. in the midst
of the never-ending discussion Of the
high cost of living, while we're waiting
for congress to do something. and when
life in Biddeford is just one goldurned
