losses sustained in the early months

The vigorous rebound OF quotations
for these issues occasioned surprise
in many quarters. where 1t was
thought that the latest price-cuttinS
wave might enforce further liquida-
ton. 1t was this condition which
caused heavy selling and conseque Mt
price depreciation last spring.
Much Of the recent accumula-
ton of these war fotations is
credited TO the larger banks,
industrial corporations and insurance
companies, some of which found it
necessary or expedient to liquida tie
their holdings In part during the
more stringent credit conditions sew

NO WONDER THEY FEAR
THE ISSUE.

Republican leaders are doubt
less sincere in their statements
that they don t want the treaty
OF peace to become an issue in
the next presidential campaign.
Their responsibility for its being
a partisan question in the first
place, and their accountability
for the costly postponement OF
peace would, in that case, be put
clearly and Enthusiastically before
the voters of whom some fifteen
millions or more will be women
whose sons and brothers fought
to end war.
1t was no part OF the Republi-
can plan that they should frank
ly avow their hostility to the
treaty and the League of Nations,
and assume the onus of their de-
feat. They schemed to preserve
an appearance and give an i'm
preston of friendliness in the
very act Of striking the treaty
dead. They hoped to be able to
mourn with their lips while they
rejoieed in their hearts at the
the treaty's death. They sought
to crafty their rabid animosity
toward the president by nullify-
ing his efforts without bearing
the consequences OF their action.
The president s. plain declara-
ton Of what he thinks of Eepub-
lican tinkering with the treaty
and the League Of Nations may
well frighten the Republican
managers who have been trying
to play double part They had
not counted on having to stand,
with the eyes of the country up
on them, and answer the chal-
lenge.

HWO KINDS OF JUNKETS.

One of the last official acts Of
President Taft, before coing into
the turmoil of the 1912 cam
paign, was the appointment of
Miss Julia Lathrop as head I the
children 5 bureau. In making up
the Republican campaign book
for that year, Miss Lathrop's APP
pointment elbowed all the other
accomplishments aside and led
all the rest, Ben Adhem fashion.
When President Wilson was
inaugurated, he promptly re-
appointed Miss Lathrop Ind has
shown in every way his desire
that his department 'hould have
every facility to carry on lis
work. Politics has llwlys Deen
concerned, and it has done a
great and admirable work.
1t remained for Senator Smoot
to throw slur upon the head of
this bureau with the statement
that she was neglecting her work
and spending government money
in a "junketing trip" to Czecho-
slovakia. In this attack he was
ably seconded by that noble pa
triot, Sherman of Illinois. The
simple fact is that Miss Lathrop
is going at the urgent request of
