doing all the year. The stock market
has changed less than one might think
from superficial observation. 1t mas
been evident ever since the latter part
of April that the substantial traders
and investors, who bought heavily dur
ing the depression of 1921, have been
taking profits. and so 1t was to be ex-
pected that break would come on ac-
count Of these profit taking sales.
THE question naturally arises az 10
whether or not there Is not some other
cause for this setback, and we believe
good answer can be found in
the political ation--both home and
abroad. There is wave OF radical
sentiment sweeping this country. Inc
Socialist Party is planning an aggres.
sive campaign this fall and the great
labor organizations are planning to
enter politics in order to stop, IL pos
sible, the cutting of wages and regain
what they have lost SO far. We hnd
that politicians are using every means
under the sun to gain votes and are
using such platforms as "A fve-cent
fare.' the soldiers bonus etc.
These political conditions parallel
those Of the year Of 1900 when the sec.
ond Bryan campaign took place. AT
that time the depression which existed
for about four months did not turn
strong until August. Parallels are
dangerous, but. still it is possible that
the market may spend some few weeks
discounting the political situation

MONEY ISN'T ALL
You don't need wealth TO be content;
True happiness comes not with cash:
Your bank account will not prevent
Your gladness going all to smash.
Wealth Is n handy friend, III own;
'Tis good to have II on the string.
But don't depend on wealth alone,
For moneys not the only thing.
You may have wads OF the long green.
And bs accounted mighty poor;
A happy life is seldom seen
Where riches flock about the door.
The millionaire has doubts and fears;

Wealth helps to build come great careers.

Cast. W. Democracy In india

S0OkO V0s
To the Editor n, the Eyentno Public Ledger:
Sir-Well- meaning Americans oc-
casionally write to the press, aavocshut s,,t
their knowledge of conditions In tnat
great empire is very scant and mostiy
prejudiced by an unreasonable dislike
of England, To such the following
from the Allahabad Leader snouio
prove both Instructive and illuminating.
1.-THE non co operators l4handl
followers) have been declaring, ana
rightly, that India could not hope 70
gain Swaraj 80 long as 1t treateo
millions Of its fellow beings In their
own country as 'untouchables. whose
very shadow caused pollution in some
parts Of the country
At the Chittagong conference, how
ever, they were very cautious IN passing Ml ;
the resolution on untouchability.. The
resolution requested ''the higher
classes" as a first mstallment to accepi
drinking water from tho depressed
classes" One gentleman proposed tnat
the words ''as a first installment De
dcleted, but his amendment was iost.
We doubt very much II even this nrst
installment will be carried into practice
openly by the majority Of those who at
tended the conference. Their caste peo.
pie would at once non. co Operate Win
them for their non conformity.
Leaving aside the question Of accept
ing water from the hands of the un-
touchables. we would like to know the
percentage of Hindus who would take
Adams ale touched by Christians or
Mohammedans. So long as Hindu re-
ligion is regarded 80 brittle as to be de-
stroyed by freedom In eating and drink
ing, for 30 long there can be no nope
of real social improvement ana UNITY
among them. The spirit OF caste must
continue to overshadow that OF natlon
alism, and obstruct the growth OF de-
mocracy.
What the United States is endeavcr'
ing to do for the Filipinos Great Brit.
ain is doing for India, only tne tass
in the latter case Is SO mucn more CO.
lossal. That such Is the fact Is recos
nized by the Hindus themselves.
Speaking of General Woods PM
ippine report the Pioneer, OF Allahabad
in a leading article, points out ina
"The American Government Is genu

and economically, just as the br1tisi

advance toward the goal OF responsi1l'
government as an integral part OF tn
British Empire. But the unwisdom o
forcing the pace is clearly demonstrates
by the experience of the Philippine
Islands, and the grave errors that hay
been made there have injured not tn
United States, but the Flipinos them
selves"
So may venture to ask our goo
American friends to be sure they are II
possession of the facts before rushin
into print with critic'sm hn. Oh done reas ana

Philadelphia. June 15, 1929.
SECOND VERSE OF TWO LITTLE
GIRLS
Soon came n change; Dame Fortune grew
strange
And from the rich child strayed.
One year had passed: wealth came at last
To cheer the poor young maid.
The poor little mouse now lives in the

The rich child used to own.
Now you hear her each day
To her friend DER the way:
Don't leave me all alone.'
CHORUS
Please. come and play In my yard. etc.

Brokers' Opinions

Newberger, Henderson & Loeb
Granting the impaired technical posi-
ton of the market was corrected to a
considerable extent by the weekly re-
dictionary movement, we can find no
satisfactory reason for altering our
previous recommendation of caution
and discrimination in making any
fresh commitments. For the immediate
present, we feel no one can make much
Of mistake In tightening up where
profits are to be achieved. Because Of
the conflicting and confusing cross cur
rcuts existing, there Is almost the abb
solute certainty that the trader who
waits until the market skies are clearer
! is more likely to be richly awarded
! for his patience and caution than those
who will brook no delay in making new
ventures. The inevitable sharp back
set witnessed the past week. as a
matter of fact, was provoked to II
large extent by hotheads who rushed
madly beyond their depths after the
.protractcd rise of nearly eleven months.
"Rcpeated recent failures of the
market to respond when favorable con-
ditions were uncovered was proof of
the over extended long account, so the
ciatcd with any change in fundamental
ciated with any chage in fundamental
conditions. On the contrary, underly-
ing conditions are distinctly construc-
tive. Mercantile reports are all eX-
tremcly favorable; reports from the

Foreign Exchange Situation

An analysis Of the foreign exchange
situation for May by the Federal Re-
serve Board points out that political
and economic uncertainties were re-
sponsible for the fuctuation of the
worlds exchanges, including the rates
between the American countries. Sew
eral of the reports emphasize the neces
sity of economy in public expenditure,
liberality in tariff policies and CO.
operation between banking institutions
as possible remedies.
Others declare that stable exchange
conditions will not rccur until the nor
nal balances Of trade have been re :
stored. Mach importance is attached to
the necessity Of restoring public conf :
dence in national credit through restric-
ton of issues of paper currency and
unfinching adherence to the policy of
gradual dctlation of credit, public and
private alike.
