Conditions Conflict.

The stock market is operating un-
der a maze of conflicting conditions.
The possibilities of war with Ger
many have seemingly been discount
ed. There are few stocks for sale
in any direction, although some tenn
porary liquidation was induced in
the railroad shares by the prospect
Of a strike and renewed foreign sell
ing. Outside of the strike situation,
however, the condition of the rail-
roads is favorable. The Russian
revolution was also regarded as a
favorable development decision
on the constitutionality of the Ad-
amson law is shortly expected. The
railroads are still burdened with
traffic. which however, by means Of
improved organization they are
handling more efficiently. Embar-
goes are being successfully relieved.
General business continues active
and the outlook for its continuance
is assuring Industrial plants i'm all
parts of the country are running
full speed full time. The steel trade
is particularly active. with no signs
of slowing down. In fact all Of the
primary industries based upon min
eral products show no cessation OF
the abnormal activity enjoyed for
the past two years. Spring is close
at hand, and with il we must ex-
pect the usual widening of business
enterprise. also the development
of the customary seasonal optimism,
although crop conditions thus far
have not been satisfactory.

the railroads and the public The
advancement Of labor is not opposed
by any considerable number OF in
telligent people in this country, but
the success of labor in this respect
is dependent upon intelligent, judic-
ious and falr-minded leadership.
The wages problem can never be
satisfactorily adjusted by force, or
on the basis of let him take who
can That way lies disorder.
Wages are a matter of bargain of
reason, of mutual consideration and
of balancing the requirements Of
one against the other in the spirit Of
live and let live" 1t would seem
that a fair adjustment of the labor
demands from the railroads might
be met by the men agreeing to ac-
cePt nine hour day. with extra
pay for overtime. a compromise on
this basis would give the men in
creased pay and would make it pos
sible for the railroad officials 10 ad-
Just themselves TO a new situation.
An extra session OF congress has
been called for April 16. / Is posi-
bilities for good or evil are ire
mendous. If congress is to be in
fiuenced by factiOnalism and efforts
TO secure party advantage out OF
the present international crisis, its
assembling VIII be a misfortune. If,
on the other hand, real patriotism
prevails. and personal advancement
or party ambitions are consistently
subordinated TO national interests,
then congress may be a source of
strength and confidence. The call
for patriotic service and sacrifice
should be forthcoming as readily
within the walls of congress as with
out, and our government should re-
ceive steadfast support from both
branches of the legislature in its
foreign relations. This is a time
for sober thinking and sober speak
ing; political pyrOtechnics are not
wanted.

Russian Revolt.


A new phase OF great importance
is the revolution in Russia, arising
out of unsatisfactory prosecution of
the war by the car. The result is
expected TO be a more aggressive
war policy under the new govern
ment. Russia is passing through a
new birth, the outcome Of which
promises TO be new freedom and
new progress after the storm now
sweeping over the world has abat-
ed
some unsettlement was naturally
caused by announcement that the
brotherhood of engineers had or
dered strike TO take effect at the
end OF last week. While the order
was accompanied by a promise or
loyalty TO the government and eX-
pressed an intention of not interfer-
ing with government necessities in
case of war, the threat to tie up
the railroads at such a critical per
iod was received with considerable
alarm. A tie-up of this character,
even on a limited scale. could not
but seriously embarrass the national
war. and would cause untold incon-
venIence and suffering upon many
thousands of people through the
shutting off of supplies and causing
a further sharp rise in the cost of
food. II was considered inconceiv-
able that the union leaders would
make so grave blunder. which. II
put into effect. would bring down a
storm of public indignation and de-
stroy all sympathy for the brother
hoods, probably defeating their pur-
pose. Further, in the present crisis
the government might not hesitate
TO take over the railroads and en-
force rules much more rigid tnan
those in existence and far less ia
! vorable 10 labor, which in the main
would probably prefer the freedom
Of private control, as against the

Housekeeper Held as Slayer
of Child Who Had Been
Bother to Her

ST. JoHNSBURY, VT, Aug. 9.-The
body of Alice Bradshaw, the little
cripple believed to have been muir
dered on July because she was a
bother, was found tonight on the
border of small swamp about a mile

had not been covered by earth or brush,
and was seen readily as soon as he
had cut the tall grass.

July after the county officials had
stated that Miss Eta May Hicks,
thousekeeper for John Bradshaw, the
childs father, and Mrs. Alvin Kennis,,
ton, had confessed that they had killed
her because she was a bother. The
two women have been under detention
in the local Jail since then.

body was discovered IL could not be
told from a preliminary examination

The body was removed at once to under
taking rooms in this town. A strict
guard was placed about 1t, and pend
ing the outcome of the examination by
the County Medical Examiner and other

Sufragists Say
Bill in Senate
Aims at Pickets
Charge Measure Is Insidi-
Gus Attempt to Block the
Women's Movement

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The Ma
tional Woman's party protested to the
Senate Judiciary Committee this morn
ing against what they declare is an
attempt to legalize the suppression Of
peaceful picketing. "The Administra-
ton tried to silence our demand for
democracy by illegal use of police
power" said Miss Maud Younger, of
California. at the hearing before a SUBJ
committee. "That misuse Of power
failed miserably Now the Administra-
ton is using brains against US instead
Of Drawn, and by this insiduous bill
attempting to deprive US of our only
means of approaching the President"
The bill under consideration was
that which gives the President blanket
power during the war. cor e. any other
time" to forbid peaceful assembly in
any area OF the United States as q
means of national defence. Violation
of the proposed law would be punish
able by q $4,000 fine or a years i'm
prisonment. The President may en-
power any person or class Of persons
to make arrests under the act.
"The people of my state" said Miss
Mary Winsor, of. Philadelphia, "can
distinguish between measures of mill
tary necessity and the suppression Of
free speech. No such power ought to
be in the hands Of any man, especially
a man Of the Presidents academic
mind, who has lost all touch with real
ity. He reminds me of the man in the
Hunting of the Shark" who said the
thing was so three times, and then it
was So"

"the record shall be expunged."

MINEOLA, Long Island, Aug. g.
Prince Ludovico Iignatelli dAragon,
who has paid more speeding fines to
Long Island justices of the peace than
all the other grandees of Spain put to-
gether, is the happiest don this side Of
the Pyrenees. All day long his power
full motor car singes the macadam OF
Merrick Road and Long Beach Road,
coating the just and the unjust with the
dust of its passing, while Prince Ludo-
vico Pignatelli d'Aragon cuddles the ac-
celerator, serenely conscious Of i'm
munity from arrest.
For the time being the big red auto
mobile and its princely driver personify
the law to motorists in this part of
Nassau County. The prince is volun-
teer motorcycle pstrolman, taking the
place of Al Hope. AL is sick, and prob
ably would be much sicker II he knew
of the gusto with which his substitute
hands out summonses.
A Whirlwind of Energy
The way those summonses come roll
ing in upon justices of the peace bids
fair to burst the Golfers of Nassau
County. As a motorcycle patrolman
Prince Ludovico Pignatelli d'Aragon is
a whirlwind of energy. Few drivers can
outstrip him; as a matter of fact, his
average as a pinch hitter stands so far
at 1000

ing devotion to duty, the prince turned

Threats Treated With "Pouf-Pouf"

tiers. They made Carm's eyes bulge,
but the prince dismissed them with a
wave of his hand.
They're more in your line than

thing like that. I'm too busy to tend
to them"
Both letters were signed &C. NJ. R."
The first was:

the Nassau Hospital for some weeks.
All that will be a good lesson for all
you cops Remember the warning,

Threatened with Death
The second, which arrived yesterday,
follows:
81 see you paid no attention to my
first letter and went yesterday to reg
ulate traffic at Long Beach. | hope, for
your sake, that you don't interfere with
any of our friends. | told you before
that we will send you for good time
in the Nassau Hospital. We will get
YOU and we will get some other big
fellows who take too many chances and
hand out summons like water. All
cops are crooks, and should be shot
like bad dogs. | will get you soon, !

Hope"
"By the way, Carm," said the prince,
as he handed over the letters, I'll have
TO have another summons book"
Everybody says it must be nice for
Mrs. d'Aragon to have the prince a
policeman, for if her cook gets saucy
again she can just call the prince IN
Last time Mrs. d'Aragon had to tend to
the cook herself, and it cost her $40
fine and Sl33 besides.
