BARGE HARVARD "COMES BACK
Famous Craft Returns to Fold of

Boston, Nov. 1.-The barge Har-
ward, formerly a square rigger sailing
from this port to many seas, but for
ten years reduced to stubmasts in the
coal carrying trade will appear under

the great demand for ocean tonnage.
The Harvard was brought today bv
a local shipbuilding firm at a price
almost as great as the cost to build
her at Brunswick, Me-, thirty-two

somewhere the men in line had OBJ
tanned remnants and they waved them
enthusiastically. There were many
women in the ranks too. The line of
march was then changed to Broadway,
down to Fourteenth street and thence
to Third avenue. Near this point is
Tammany Hail. The marchers stood
outside the building and cheered
loudly. Then they continued to
Second avenue, up that street to

Of bonds and note issues is eloquent

diced antagonism to legitimate rail en-
feet of ignorant and prejudiced an
! tagonlsm to legitimate railroad en-
terprise. AS result, the country has
been hampered by the lack of new
mileage and better traffic facilities.
The unsatisfactory service which rail-
| roads have been giving for the last
six months is entirely due to private
capital being frightened away from
providing the needed assistance. There
is no real call in this country for gov
{ eminent ownership of railroads; all
that is needed is intelligent and just
regulation, permitting private capital
to secure reasonable returns and fair
treatment generally. Comparing the
new issues for industrial concerns, we
find that in 1909 the total amount Of
industrial capital applications was
1901, 100000 of stock, and bond and
note issues 1852, OOO,OOO; while in 1915
the total stocks were 1902, 100000 and
bonds and notes, 100000. Such
comparisons require no comment.
This week the government crop re-
port estimated the corn yield at g.
SAB, 100000 bushels compared with
1854, OOO,O 900 bushels a year ago. Of
wheat the yield is estimated at only
6O7, 900, 600 bushels, against 1,O11,-
600, 900 bushels last year. These fig

While the outlook Of the market
continues favorable the abnormal con-
ditions prevailing should not be for
gotten. The longer the rise continues
the greater the risk unless occasional
reactions are permitted for readjust-
ment and strengthening of the techni-
cal position. While the end of big
profits is not in sight, it should be re-
m en- bered that large portions Of these
are going into new plant, especially
in steel concerns. Unreasonable ex-
pectations of increased dividends may
therefore invite disappointing al
though such appropriations from
earnings will often really strengthen
the companies making them. Out
lays of this character tend to dimin-
ish the applications for outside CAPT
tal which is accommodating and will
be more and more tempted into new
enterprises of questionable character.
Taking all things into consideration
there is good reason for continued OPP
timism, because money is plentiful
credit sound, and confidence we'll es-
tablished. Nevertheless there is vastly
more need of good judgment than in
any ordinary boom, for the reason
that the situation is extraordinary in
all respects, is full of untried circum-
stances and liable to sudden changes

INDUTRIAL PLANTS

The Hendersonville commercial or
ganization are considering a plan tc
advertise the fact that the town offers
free sites and other concessions for in
dustrial plants.
This recalls to mind the fact that one
day He~ndersonville was too proud and
stif-necked to entertain an industrial
proposition, thinking that air, water
and scenery formed a better combina-
ton. But to the credit of Henderson
vile people, they have learned to see
things differently and for the past two
OF three years sentiment has greatly
changed. While they scofed at the
idea of smoke and SCOT they would now
be willing to sleep with Industrial
smoke-stacks under the windows of
their bed chambers.
Hendersonville is q good town, made
up of good people, but it is greatly
suffering from lack of a more substan-
tial payroll. This thought leads us up
to a discussion of the appreciation
Pennsylvania has for it's large indus
trial plants. Some times we are in
clined to think that the people don't
fully appreciate what these plants near
to us. We would certainly be in a poor
condition, financially, had we nothing
of this kind.
Rather than let careless and inappre-
clative words fall from our lips and
rush to the courts for damages when
We stump our toes or mash our fingers,
We should lend every reasonable en-
Couragement to these industries for
they are the financial backbone Of
