MUST STAND OWN LOSSES.
Supreme Court Says Can't Deduct Spec
uIatiOn losses in Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, Oct 12-The SUI
preme court refused yesterday to review
the case brought by Eugene W. Mente. a
manufacturer of New Orleans and New
York, to obtain allowance in his income
taxes for losses sustained as a result of
transactions in the cotton market.
He contended that these losses were
losses sustained in trade, as defined in the
tax law. The lower court held, however.
that the term ''in trade" should be CON
strued as the actual business Of the tax
payer as distinguished from isolated tran
sactiOns.

World Financial
Review

Taking general view of the finan-
cial and business situation throughout
the world 1t is not difficult TO see i'm
provement in fundamental conditions,
The slackening in the business pace
may not be looked upon as improve
ment, but it doubtless indicates the
general tendency to return to normal
times. Commodity prices continue to
decline, and this is perhaps the most
tions. There is decidedly less specu-
lation in commodities and securities,
thus releasing money for other ana
more legitimate purposes, The world
crop outlook is favorable. The re-
port this week of the department OF
agriculture forecasts total wheat
crop in the United States of close to
100000 900 bushels. This is a good
showing when the average is consid
cred, and especially in view of the
poor outlook some weeks ago.
Railroad Properties
The reduction in the Chicago 4
North Western common stock divl
dend from Z to percent basis
after an ulbroken record of Is years
at 7 per cent, had a disconcerting
effect upon railroad securities in the
New York stock market this week
The railroad issues, both stocks ans
bonds, have been in disfavor among
both spectators and investors fol
many months. 1t had been hoped that
when returned TO private ownership
the roads would be given opportunity
10 rehabilitate themselves, and that II
would not be long until they would be
in fine condition both for handling
traffic and making such improvements
and extensions as demanded by in
creasing business. However, the roads
were not in good shape when the gov
ernment took them over. They were
allowed to deteriorate still further
when under government control. Now
that they are once more under private
management the roads are confronted
with exceedingly high operating ex
penses and, although traffic is very
heavy, net returns are slender. Money

sincere and honest principle, the
democrats when they assemble a.
San Francisco, mast remember that
Mr.. Bryan's name At the head OF the
national democratic ticket will still
look mighty good to Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan is opposed, according to
wire rumor, to Governor Cox Of Ohio,
the most logical candidate the demo
Gratis can nominate as the opponent
"f Senator Harding.
MIR. Wheeler, salaried at $4,000 as
q professional prohibitionist, is oppos-
ed to Governor Cox.
Both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Wheeler.

uterior motive in opposing the nomi-
nation of the strongest man in the
democratic possibility column, will
not, it seems, be satisfied with a
dry" plank, but must demand the
privilege of naming the man who will
stand upon that plank.
While we believe, as stated above,
that the democrats when they meet
at the san Francisco convention,
should have the courage to come out
boldly and uncompromisingly for the
enforcement Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, at the same time We believe
they should know the man whom
they honor with the presidential nomi-
nation will be man who is broad
and honest enough to be the president
Of all the people.
And We also believe that Mr. Bryan
and Mr.. Wheeler should know that
the man who accepts the nomination
from any party, accepts and pledges
himself to support the party's prin.
ciples as laid down and inculcated in
an enunciated by the platform Of
that party.
And we further believe in picking
the presidential candidate, that the
democrat delegates should fully real
ize that we nave a strong man and
a clean man TO beat, and knowing
this, that they should be careful less

upon the party's shoulders cross

matically told when the democratic
convention at Chicago, away back

democrats were born, stampeding to

IN UNPARONABLE OFFENSE

Perhaps one of the gravest offenses
committed by the powers in charge
at the Chicago convention, an offense
which was aimed directly at many
who were in the ranks Of the party
was the order eliminating the nomi-
nation Of "favorite sons"
This was "a serious blunder, blum
son would know that the fellow who
peptc and disgruntlcd feeling to pre-
wade the systems Of many leaders
of statewide fame, who were Doth
willing and anxious to have some
/ glibtoneued truth.distorter tell tho
other delegates about the good and
noble things which each separate
mothers son had done for the good
of the order and the veal of the
party of the elephant.
It mattered not that each favorite
son would know that the fellow who
nominated the other favorite son was
a monumental liar, just as big n liar
/ as was the fellow who nominated
him; it mattercd not that each fav'
orite son knew that the other favor
ite sons knew the man who was
nominating No. was telling bigger
lies than did the fellow who hominat-
ed No. /. and almost as big n lie as
would be told by the fellows who
wond nominate Nos. 3, 4, .. 6, and
so on, ad infinitum. Those lies would
have been sweet, sweet music to each
cf the chaps who had spent their
mazuma going to Chicago, Just to
get a chance to listen to some cham
pion windjammer tell pleasing lies
about his greatness.
We are told that the steam roller
left some bruises behind, after it had
passed majestically over the Chicago
convention. We are told that John
son is peeved and that General Wood
resents the assertions made by Gov
ernor Butler And we doubt not that
we have been told the truth. But
none Of those sore spots are nearly
so sore, nor will any of them be so
long in healing as viii be the blued
bruises left when the engineer upon
that big roller decided that the fay
orte son" oratory was to be elimi-
rated.
There are just as many states in
the union as there are stars on the
country's flag and there We're just
as many sons at the Chicago conven.
tion as there are states in the union
Everyone Of these went to Chicago
that he might hear the dulcet tones
of flattery shout to the assembled
delegates the story Of his greatness,
of his political acumen, of his disin-
terested work in party affairs, togeth-
er with all those other cheerful and
pleasing lies which harm nobody. but
make the angels weep with Joy at the
happiness they give to the one lied
upon.

Break i'm Silver Prices
Experts on the silver market while
declaring the causes for the drop In
silver prices are obvious, say that the
reason is based upon a massed desire
to get rid of holdings before the price
goes lower.
Selling by India, China and the Con
tinent are given as the causes of the
sudden break in prices, which began
on Monday. The selling by the Conti
nent is the factor which is regarded az
being the most potent one. India and
China have always been reckoned in rs
factors in the mdrket, but the fact that
many, would suddenly throw so mucn
of the metal upon the market was moi
anticipated by anyone.
One of the best known authorities
in New York has estimated the
amount of silver which has been solt
by Germany at 100000 ounces. TIL,
concerted movement all over the Con
tinent to transfer every ounce of avail
able silver into cash, started many
weeks ago, but the melting down o
ornaments tableware and other silver
articles took time, so that the full
effect of the movement is just nov
being realized
Selling by China at this time wa'
not an unexpected development. China
buying was the chief factor in sendins
silver prices to unprecedented level!
during the winter, and authorities an
ticipated that such extensive buyins
might result in an over-supply.

Another increase in gold holdings

report disclosed an increase of 1000,

been in two weeks an increase of 4,

dicative of another extensive move
