Special Correspondence 10 The Journail
New York, Dec. 27.-Claiming
that cash demands to finance bust
ness, where banks must stop, is the
secret of the present steady de-
cline in the stock market, the wis
est of the downtown money market
men today declared that the pres
ent conditions reflected nothing
but temporary straits in the posi-
ton of the sellers of securities.
Where business slackens and its
income falls, the only recourse is
TO sell stocks and bonds, these men
point out, just as the same is true
of forced levy for pushing activi-
ties that the public financiers are
in no position to get behind. OF
all the explanations that have been
offered for the gradual sinking of
stock values, this is now accepted
as the most reasonable by those
who follow most closely the course
of quotations.
Police Prod
Following the timely call for
police results by the same Curran
who weighed and found wanting
the old Tammany force, the people
of this whole town are today
echoing a demand for the removal
of the police commissioner and a
return to the law enforcement that
used to prevent the pub il places
bee Jming easy ground for huld-up
AM carnival of ccme Though
tbs htr0rgh president is now in
the anti-Tammany minority in
city councils, his word on matters
of this sort weighs heavy with New
Workers. While everybody is
rnanaced by loss Of life and of
property the bold bands of crooks
now rampant here, the public likes
to bark back to the DAYS when real
police work was performed as a
profession, rather than as a bid
for political pull.
War Warning.
Alarmed at the prospect of again
allowing the Germans or any other
foreign power to capture our bud
ding chemical progress, the men in
army and navy who know the men
ace of turning dye plants over
night into full-fledged producers
of the worst gasses and the most
powerful explosives, are now testi-
fving TO the people here as to the
danger of permitting our national
dive works to be ruined by over
seas competition. If any ambitious
military power should seize the
present opportunity of graspins
chemical control from America, IT
must mean fatal weakening In
our ability to Withstand future
wars, it is admitted To the moth
ers wives and sisters, whose men
folks suffered from the gas prod
ucts Of German dye works, the issue
should be left for real effort along
these lines, these experts assert.
Woman Winner.
THAT a. woman Is at last to enter
the cabinet of the next president
of the United States, is the present
prospect that is making the women
Of this town sit up and take a lot
of notice of the current develop
ments in Marion. On the best au-
thority, word has been passed to
the women leaders here that a new
office, especially for a woman cab
iEet member, is at their disposal Ii
President elect Harding elects to
listen to all the recommendations
for this office from the interested
women hereaboutS, he may wish
that this rumor had never been cir
culated
Sagging Suitcases.
On the unanimous testimony OF
every red-capt who carries luggage
at the terminals in this town, the
weight of these impediments has
increased four-fold within the last
dry year. If every revenue inspect
OF knew one-tenth as much as these
burden bearers guess, wholesale
raids might be made on every out
going train. However, the canny
carriers are still more interested in
their tips from passengers than In
any tips they might give to the au-
thOrities,
