New York, December 31-The brief trading period which marked the close of the year on the stock ex- change developed no features of espe- cial interest.
 Standard issues, both rail and in- dustrials, once more gave way to spe- cialties. some of these being strong. while others became irregular or re- actionary

 Bull pools attributed to the windup of the year by aggressive tactics fin special stocks, including some of the more obscure issues. Among these was Phillips Jones. which rose 13 points on nominal dealings.
 The bond market also was devoid of striking features, although rela- lively more active than stocks Real izing for profits caused moderate easement among Liberty and Victory issues and the domestic list moved sluggishly. Total sales, par value, ss.275. 900.
 British exchange held around yes terdays final quotations, but most continental rates were substantially higher.

 The clearing house statement showed few important changes, con sidering the heavy transfer of funds incidental to the years end. Actual loans and discounts increased by Sb3,- o0O,O00 and another cash contraction of sf1.2o0,oo0 reduced excess reserves fo barely more than S17.ooo.ooo.

But warehouse stocks OF whisky IS months ago

The complete exit OF John Bareycorn, except on

LYNCHING IN 1921

THE report OF lynchings in 1921, recently issued by
the Association for the Advancement OF the
Coored People, is encouraging for two reasons.
First, the 65 lynchings which took place last
year two less than in 1920.
Secondhand this is the important item
officers OF the law prevented mob violence in y
instances, Ga OF them in southern states This dis
credits the popular northern belief that the public
sentiment of the South is Tor lynchng and against
the orderly process OF law
growing public feeling against the evil of mob
violence and recognition OF its demoralizng con-
sequences no doubt responsible for this record.
The honesty and courage OF certain officers OF the
law is, of course, Immediately responsible, but no
doubt there have been times in the past when cour-
ageous officials have been rendered helpless by
overwhelming popular madness.
Every aw-abidng private citizen, every determined
representative OF the law and every institution which
has worked steadfastly toward the elimination OF the
ynching evil deserves credit for the fact that last

HIGHWAY PROGRESS

THE Department. OF Agriculture reports that l4,00O
miles OF road constructed last year in
the United States. Not bad for dull year And
there is to be impetus to the work next spring,
as result of lower prices and the %s00O,000 newly
appropriated by congress for federal aid to the
states.
The effect OF all this Improvement is incaculable.
Roads are arteries OF civilization. They are TO a
state or county what railroads to country.
Their Importance is vastly increased by the unver-
sal use OF automobiles and trucks. They pay for
themselves thrice-in the pleasure Of human COM
muncation and travel, in improved business COM
muncation and transportation and in increased real
estate values
1t is appropriate to mention, in this connection,
the fact that the price of battleship will build
about 1000 miles OF good paved highway, and the
annual saving promised by the arms conference pro-
cr-m will pay for 5000 miles. Well have better
han Europe yet all this country.
