The stock market has added an
other week of advance to its recent
record. This was apparent in the
railroad group last week to an even
greater extent than in the indus
trial list, which was more Irregular.
Detractors no longer dispute the
basic factors underlying the market.
They admit that the record wheat
crop and the record foreign trade
would either OF them warrant a no
table advance, taken separately.
But great deal Of concern has been
affected over the technical position'
of the market. 1t had gone up for
too long a time without interrupt
ton. Profit taking must come. The
class of buying was becoming con-
stantly poorer. The first bad news
might wreck considerable damage.
But, though weak condition within
the stock market usually follows
such an uninterrupted rise, it has
not now been indicated by the ac-
tion Of prices. The news of the Ital-
ian trouble at the peace conference
wore serious aspect, yet it did not
cause q serious setback, And one of
the last props of the detractors was
mlled from under when their criN-
clsm that the rise was confined to
the speelaltios was met last week by
the advance in steel common and the
raiWoad shares

ernment expenditures will be on a
descending scale, the new money
subscribed is not likely to equal the
old money paid off. This should
make for a position of increasing
ease in the money markets. There
will not unlikely be revival of
business borrowing at that time, but
the larger supply Of funds will be
able to take care of it.

The sporadic weakness of Liberty
Loan issues during the last week
was doubtless mainly due to senti-
mental reason. Where selling would
ordinarily be balanced by buying,
and might be expected to be more
than balanced under the unexpected
ly small amount Of the Liberty Loan,
potential buyers of outstanding Lib
erty bonds feel it rather their duty
to invest in the new issue. Any
undue weakness of these outstanding
bonds during the campaign should
be made up after it's close.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1919-06-06

The Kansas City Star contends that:
Congress has certain obligations I'M
der the constitution in directing the
foreign affairs of the nation. A treaty
must be ratified by two-thirds vote
in the Senate, and its provisions may
require legislation by both houses.
These limitations do not exist in the
British government, where the prime
minister need not lay treaty before
the House of Commons unless he
wishes. The reason for the difference
in practice is obvious. In England the
prime minister may be turned out of
Office at any time by an adverse vote
in the Commons. Therefore he is
under the control of the peoples rep
resentatives at ali times while the
treaty is being negotiated. In the
United States Congress has no control
over the president Therefore, in
order to make sure that the executive
should not commit the government un-
wisely to foreign policy, the makers
of the constitution provided that no
treaty could be made binding without
the advice and consent of the Senate.
President Wilson has not chosen to re-
gard Congress as his adviser regarding
the peace treaty. 1t is none the less
the duty of the Senate to assert its
constitutional power and insist by reso-
luton on separation of the treaty
from covenant for the league of ma
tions. This should be done while there
is still opportunity for the peace con-
ference to revise the treaty"
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1919-06-06

RIGHT smash on top of the announce
ment that railroads and telephones and
telegraphs are to be returned to their
owners, comes the news that the ad-
ministration, possibly with the presi-
dents support, will move towards the
Standardization of coal, oil and gas.
Naturalization" in this instance is
likely a new term for government
control and operation. National
ization" is likely to turn out to be the
same kind of a rose as its predecessors
with the same kind of smell attached.
The brand on the scheme is in line with
the same fallacious methods that were
instituted as an 'temergency" during
the war, and which when under way
were intended to result in govern
ment ownership" as was proved by
the statement given out by the railway
administrator and director of wires,
before the government acknowledged
that the experiments were failure.
The country always had plenty of coal
until it pressed college professor into
the service as an administrator.
Then there was famine, which many
people believe would have been averted
had not the industry been over-regu-
lated. Oil and gas escaped the block
ade because the companies conducted
their own transportation affairs, by
means of pipe lines and perfect sys-
tenn of distribution.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1919-06-06

Whereas: 1t has pleased an all
wise God to remove from our midst
our esteemed and highly respected
brother, Jay B. Shaw, one who,
throughout his whole life exemplifed
the teachings of both the Eastern
Star and the various Masonic orders,
of which he was a faithful and able
member, and one of whom it may
be truly said that the world is better
for him having lived.
And Whereas; In his passing his
family, the Chapter and community
generally have sustained deep sor-
row which only the passing Of time
may in measure lessen.
Therefore Be it Resolved: That
the Order of the Eastern Star extend
to his bereaved family our heartfelt
sympathy in it's separation with the
assurance that to such there is no
death but life everlasting.
And Be it Further Resolved: That
our Charter be draped in mourning
for period of thirty days, that a
copy of these resolutions be sent to
the family and one placed on file in
the secretary book.

Stones of Remarkable Power.

Lovers of the occult will be inter
ested in story told by Lady Blunt in
her remarkable volume of reminis-
cenceS.
Her husband was sick unto death
in ConstantinOple, and the Turkish
government loaned her two small
stones which had been in it's possess
sion since the Conquest, telling her to
apply them where the pain was most
severe.
Lady Blunt used them as directed
with the result that the sick man
speedily recovered, although four doc
tors had previously decided on an Inn
mediate operation.
"These wonderful stones" adds Lady
Blunt, "are found at rare intervals in
the veins Of donkey's neck; per
haps only one stone in a million dom
keys"

TIME TO SEEK YOUR TRAIN
Preliminary Windup Of Announcer
Should Be Signal for intending
Traveller to Get Busy.

A train announcer Is q much miEun-
dersto0d individual. His Is indeed q
much-abused calling-of stations.
But those uncouth, unintelligible, In
articulate mouthings which are his
wont when properly warmed up to his
work are, IL you must know, merely an
evidence Of your own abysmal ignor-
ance, says Henry Ell. Craigie in Judge.
What he is really reciting through
his megaphone, and which sounds to
your uneducated ear like cross-sec-
ton of a buzzsaw and an asthmatic
photograph, is probably poem from
the Sanskrit, or some delicate strOphe
from the Syro-Chaldaic poets. 1t goes
something like this:
"Bipxz-r-r-rzyz-nOwr eddyntrackfOur,"
but it is not his fault If you need an in
terpreter to tell you what he is saying.
Paraphrasing the immortal words Of
a contemporary think we may call
1t the RRR of NG-"Your program is
Your Timetable" and about rs useful
to you as a menu card la Franchise
is to deaf mute with an intensive ap-
petite for ham and eggs. For your
timetable is really your key to the
cryptic utterances of the train an
nouncer-and nobody is supposed to I'M
derstand either.
Under the hypnotic spell Of his
subtle elOquence you do not miss your
train-until it has pulled out, and
sometimes not then. If you are slight
~ deaf it adds to your enjoyment Of
the occasion, or you can make game
of it, as some do, by utilizing an opera
glass in an effort at lip reading.
But If you are wise, at the first
sound of his preliminary windup you
will hunt up that train of yours by
main force-and the devil take the
hindmost. Delays are dangerous.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1919-06-06

RECENTLY this paper commented on
the fact that despite deficit of $418,-
600, 900 in the fifteen months covering
the period of governmental control OF
the railroads, 145, 600 more persons
were on the payrolls in that division on
the first of January this year than were
thus engaged in December, 1917. This,
too, in face of the fact that the admin
istration attributed the deficit to de-
creased business. The question natur-
ally arises if there is less business,
why should there be more employees!
There could be only one inference
that employment was being afforded to
the faithful. In the opinion of this
paper, no greater breach of trust was
ever brazenly Haunted before the peo-
pie, who must perforce foot the bill.
