MOVING OUR TROOPS.

Moving of our troops in any degree
of comfort and with reasonable expe-
dition will call for economy in gener-
al railroad service, and for such coop
Grafton as we have never witnessed
among the American railways.
Unless the travelling public accept in
a sympathetic and accomplishing
spirit such temporary changes in train
service as may be necessary, the gov
eminent will not hesitate to act in a
decisive manner. Germany, for in
stance, does not so much as consider
the claims of commercial travel when
troops are to be moved. Traina are
stopped, freight is tied up. Civilian
travellers are left to cool their heels for
days at a time while blocks are set and
tracks are cleared for the speedy
transportation of army corps. The
surest way to prevent such h~ardships
as this is to give the government and
the railroads the fullest assistance in
forbearance and sympathy.
At the very worst, the interruption
to regular traffic will be of brief dura-
ton. The benefits of cooperation may
be lasting. That, in our opinion, is to
be one Of the blessings Of the war. For
when our railroads learn to utilizetkeir
joint facilities to the greatest advan-
tage, in meeting the nations present
need, is it not reasonable to suppose
that when the war is over the lessons
they have learned will be applied to
lasting cooperation and larger service?

MAKING HAY
WHILE THE SUN SHINES.

Senator LaFollette is making hay
whilet he sun shines. He is working
the printing presses of the United
States overtime, printing copies of his
anti-war speech in the senate, and he
is overlooking the federal mails send
ing copies to voters in the state of
Wisconsin before the election, which is
soon to be held in that state for the
purpose of electing a United States
senator.
The government is, in other words,
aiding Senator La Toilette in electing
an enemy to the administration.
Our government does some curious
things at times.
The postal rates have been increas-
ed in order that the expenses of war
may be betrayed. No one offers the
least objection. Most people feel that
it is only just that they should be per-
mitted to help. Senator La Toilette
sends his incendiary communications
through the mails franked, as is his
constitutional right to frank them,
although just what official business is
involved we cannot clearly see.
Just now the secret service and the
department of justine are s%uppressing
seditious publications and the post
office department is barring them from
the mails. This also meets with gen
eral public approval.
The distasteful feature of it all is
that at the very time that efforts of
this kind are being made to help pay
expenses of war and suppress Sc
1itious publications, the government
presses are engaged in the
production of 100000 copies of Sena-
or La Follette's speeches attacking
he war revenue act and oking to
dixie Z lailure q Liberty Loan.

THE STATES-GRAPHIC
SUBSTITUTES FOR LEATHER.
PUBLISHED EvERY FRIDAY

Says the Springfield Union:
"Shoes with wooden soles have al
ready been placed on sale in Chicago,
and the manager of one of the largest
shoe stores in that city says there is a
growing demand for them. While it is
likely that there may be a largely in
creased use of such shoes among per-
sons in certain occupations, it is scarce
ly probable that they will ever come
into popular use. There are better
substitutes than wood for the soles of
Shoes"
The Union is right. Wood is a very
poor substitute for leather in the max
ing of shoe soles. But, inasmuch as
the selection of substitutes or supple
ments appears to be an imminent prob
lem, the Union might favor US with its
preferences. The supply of leather
available is rapidly becoming scarcer
and dearer, which process cannot con-
tinue indefinitely if we are to wear
leather shoes.
In this crisis, however, American in
ventive genius may come to the res
cue, as has so often been the case be-
fore. There are many avenues of es-
cape from going barefoot. It is not
impossible to greatly increase the pro-
duction of leather by growing more
cattle, sheep and COATES. We need
more meat, anyway. There is also
room for considerable economies of
leather in the manufacture of shoes.
But when the worst comes to the
worst, probably several substitutes
may be devised.
The practical suggestion that comes
in all this is the same as c~onfronts us
in so many other instances-that of
stimulation of production and conser-
walton of u 1t seems to be
the supreme universal issue. Con-
sumption is outrunning production
nearly everywhere. This is a condition
which emphasizes the urgency of re-
form in both directions. We must
learn to produce more and use less.
And this lesson, which appears simple,
is a very difficult one to learn, We all
indorse the prineiple, but expect 9TH

We usually want the other person to ]
try it first.

stories told as Maude Younger told the story Of
the "picketing" to the men of Macon Thursday
night from her automobile rostrum and the South
may be found suddenly assuming the lead in this
movement as a form of retributive justice born
of that strongest of all our emotions, human symt-
pathy and regard for the decent treatment of a
while woman.
Despite the heckling after the speaking, the
none too courteous treatment accorded these two
women by some men charged with knowing better,
we will venture the assertion that more real suf-
frage sentiment was created among men voters
in Macon by these two "militants" unwelcomed,
unmet, unheralded by their sister suffragists in
Macon as they were, in a space of ninety minutes
than has been brought to life in all previous years
combined. The men are the ones who will confer
suffrage and men above all things admire the
square deal and seldom refuse an earnest woman.
The Telegraph is not espousing the Woman's
Party, nor is it the admirer of Alice Paul, the
brilliant if thoroughly erratic leader Of that divis-
ion, and this paper sets its face against the Susan
B. Anuthony amendment, just as the great moder-
ately progressive, wellestablished sentiment in
the south is set on this matter; but we are not
blind to facts. If he powers that be want to help
the Susan B.. Anthony movement in the South

NEW YORK, July 7.-(Wall Street. The most inte4Esting development of the disqualification of the weekly expansion of almost $174000, 900 in re- serves-did not materialize until af ter the end of dull and meaningless session on the stock exchange.
 The gain in reserves was the larg est for any one week since the new national banking laws became oper- ative and probably is without precedent in the history of the local clearing house.
 Total actual excess of reserves now held by the clearing house aggregates $27S, S,452,900, against barely SAP 900, 900 two weeks ago.
 In effect. New York institutions be- gin the new fiscal year under highly suspicious conditions.
 The stock market was of the usual week end character prices improv- ing for the most part on covering of short contracts. Rails were in far better demand.
 Motors, cOppers, equipments and oils ranged one to five points higher. United States steel was firm most of the short session, but eased off with allied shares at the close. Total sales. 220, 000 shares.
 Bonds were irregular on narrow fluc- tations, Liberty 31a' S ranged from 10( 1 1-50 to 100 2-50 Total sales, par value s1,970,000. U. S. old issues were lower by fractions to a point on call during the week.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Generally it was a market in which it appeared as if the short account was the only reliance for higher prices, and that this would be the case for some time to come.
 Conservative purchases of standard issues during marked heaviness should give satisfactory turns to active op- orators who make discriminating se- lections.
 Sharp rallies are not expected to hold at present and professionals will be found sellers during recoveries.
 Raw material stocks are growing in favor. Equipment issues are well taken. It is predicted in well in formed banking circles closely con- nected with the copper trade develop ments that scarcity of supplies and the unsettled condition of mining camps, mean that big rush to buy
