UPWARD MOVEMENT

Strength in General Metals Is Ir.

BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2.-The upward
movement of Thursday afternoon con-
tinued for a while in the stock market
today, but petered out later after there
had been some further short covering
and it had been established that there
was nothing else upon which to sustain
the forward swing
Steel common sold at par again, but
was pIentifully supplied around that
9igure Almost everybody during the last
week had had the hint about the Bethle-
hem Steel new bond issue, and the short
interest in that stock had grown to
large dimensions.
The rally today to around SO was
therefore, not surprising. But as soon as
the demand from the shorts sub
sided the stock slipped back again
and the slender margin above divi-
dends became once more subject OF
discussion.
other Leaders Followed Steels.
other leaders of the list follow ed
the course of the SteelS Such stocks
as Baldwin Locomotive and American
Can were strong for the first hour or
so, while the bears were. covering
but fell off as soon as this element
of support had been withdrawn. Re-
ports of poor business, actual and
prospective, accompanied the reac-
tion in Baldwin Locomotive. In the
case of the Pierce Arrows, more no
tice was taken of the very low sell
ing prices for the s per cent bonds.
There was further strength in the
metal shares, but il was irregularly
distributed. American Smelling was
bought on the high return consider
ing the earnings of nearly SO a share
last year and the more favorable out
look for the copper metal industry
this year. Cerro de Pasco crossed
46 for the first time on the present
ported for 1923 a surplus around $3.50
a share, despite the very low selling
prices of copper during the latter
half of the year.
Railway Shares Steady.
Railway shares continued generally
steady, with occasional spurts of buy
ing here and there. Pere Marquette
sold at 48 for the first time.
There was some fresh buying for
n time in Southern railway common
and in Chesapeake and Ohio, the lat
ter on the completed annual report
showing $3.50 earned on the common
stock last year against $500 the year
preceding. Atchison sold the quar-
terly dividend of " per cent. Talk
was revived of an increase to per
cent later in the year.
Colorado Fuel and Iron moved con-
Sfstently against the other members
of the steel group, indicating a spe-
cial incentive back of the buying
which did not apply to other steel
stock.
The late trading was dull and
quite uneven. Somewhat hurried
short covering occurred in the motor
shares and there was quite a squirt
in the shipping stocks which had a
logical incentive in the prospective
increase in ocean freight rates. But
with these and a few other excep-
tions the market of the last two hours
did little.

What is the Oregon School Case.

What is the oregon ScnOOI Ease.
Simply this: The people Of Oregon
through the initiative passed law re-
curing all children from the ages OF
EIGHT to sixteen to attend public schools
during the full school year, the law to be
in force and effect Sept. l, 1926.
Following the passage Of this law the
Catholic Sisters of the Holy Names and
the Hill Military Academy of Oregon,
brought suit to test the validity of the law
in the u. S. court for the district OF Ore.
gon and the court enjoined the officers OF
the state from enforcing the law.
In this action the Catholic Sisters asked
for protection of their personal and prop.
erty rights and privileges as citizens OF
the United States. Among other things
the court held that this law deprived par
ents and guardians of their natural and
equal RIGHTS to send children to schools OF
their own selection, and that under the
constitution of the u. S. the state OF Ore
gon had no right thus to Interfere. Inc
court held further that in effect the law
confscated and destroyed school property
of this character and was specific VIOLA
ton of Sec 10, Art. of the y. 5. Constr.
tuition, which relates to the Impairment OF
contract obligation.
The Supreme Court of the United States
during the entire period of our. govern
ment, has not changed or modified the es-
tablished principles adhered to by the
court decision in the Oregon case.
So much for the Oregon school case. We
must concede, regardless of our prejudices
1--WE are all preiudiced if we but admit lt)
that the fundamental law of the land is
plain and that there can be no abridge-
ment of the right of a parent to educate
his children where he sees fit.

Racial Superiority a Myth.

Imperial Wizard Evans in an address at
Kansas City tells assembled klansmen they
are ''the salt of the earth and upon them
rests the future Of civilization" Mr.. Evans
is poor student of history. There is no
such thing as superior blood. Inevitably,
after a race has come in and dominated,
history shows that it decays. Of the eau
casions the ancient Semitic stock ruled the
civilized world on the plains Of Chaldea
to be followed by the more hardy Persians.
Then rose the Greek civilization to fall in
turn before Rome. And Rome, after a
thousand years, fell before the hordes of
northern Europe because the empire was
so corrupt and decadent that the citizens
did not think it worth fighting for. And
following the Roman downfall came the
dark ages and the gradual rise of Spain
as World power when American gold
began to pour through her ports with the
finding Of the New World Since then the
power has lain in the balance overseas be-
tween France, England and Germany with
this country, mingling of all stocks, rls-
ing to it's present prestige and might. We
too, may fall before some nation harder,
more honest and with higher ideals. That
nation may be white or it may be yellow
or black No one knows. Nature in de-
veloping through world process, pays no
attention to color or creed.

The Parents to Come.

A matter of concern to all good citizens
is the low birth rate among American fam
lilies best calculated to carry on American
ideals and traditions. That is, the Old
American Stock. Along with the gradual
disappearance of children in these families
comes the huge apartment beehives having
small quarters. The eventual result in
the words of an eminent scientist: "The
census may soon designate as familyette
the maiden lady with two gold fish,"
they seem. The gradual entrance of Wo-
men into business instead Of matrimony
has a tendency to divert the types not
strongly sexed and not endowed with a
keen parental instinct into useful work in
stead of jangling home. And the men of
the species, also not endowed with strong
parental tendencies, may more contin-
uously embrace celibacy. A writer says:
"Under former modes of social control
and ancient prejudices which demanded
that every woman be married, if possible,
many men and women belonging to what
Havelock Ellis dubbed the great interme
diate sex were mated and produced Off
springs who perpetuated their relatively
weak instincts of parenthood.
With woman emancipated from house
work and no longer needing mans sup
port, it will be those with pronounced ma
ternal impulses who will mother the future
generations They will transmit those
qualities to their children, while the less
paternal and maternal types will be grad
ually eliminated. Similar processes have
taken place in the past. Either feminism
or mOnaSticiSm alters the current of hui
man development"
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1924-10-01

of third and radical party will be upon
the result as between the two major par
ties.
THE DAWES PLAN will enable Ger
many to have a stable currency and bring
about PREPARATION payments These pay
ments are far lower than at first demand
ed. They are less than the national debt
of the United States by large figure.
CROP REPORTS are good, corn being
a dubious factor. The wheat crop is put
at 1877 100000 bushels. Oats is bumper
crop. The estimated yield OF oats is put
at 1885, 100000 bushels compared to l,3OO,-
100000 bushels last year. Potatoes are
forecasted at 413, 100000 bushels, the same
as last year. The best estimate on corn is
a WELD of 2,513,000,000 bushels which is
considerably under the 5-year average.
However, the high price will offset the
lowered production if frost does not nip
millions of bushels of maturing corn.
REIMBURSEMENT is in prospect and
the speeding up of European industry will
have an improved effect on American ag-
riculture 1t is pointed out that agricult-
ural production in Europe recovered far
faster than manufacture after the war.
The result was that producers Of food in
world markets had to compete with sitter
competition than the product of manufac-
turers. AS European production gets
under way the standard Of living there
will raise and the people will take more
foods and goods from us.

The Last Frontier.

An advocate of high tariff says that
America needs such tariff to protect our
agriculturists from competition with the
cheap virgin lands being opened up all
around the world That brings to mind
the query: Where are the frontiers? And
the answer is: Asia.
DR.. Ossiandowski, in his work, "Man
and Mystery in ASIA" tells of the vast
stretches of fertile land, the mighty forests
and the great mineral resources of Siber-
ia and Mongolia. Here millions of acres
of the most fertile land lie awaiting the
plow For days and days one might travel
through painless forest alone except for
the birds and wild beasts Of which there
are myriads The streams abound with
fish of all kinds. The hills contain rare
metals. And this land of fertility and re-
sources is uninhabited except for nomad-
ic tribes.
1t is something of paradox that Asia,
"The Cradle of the Human Race" should
contain the last mighty frontier. For
thousands of years the land has been
peopled, yet today it is virgin soil.

White Collars VS. Real Jobs.

A college man deplores the fact that
skilled mechanics get bigger wages than
white collar" people, notably clerks and
professional occupations. He thinks there
is something wrong with our educational
system. There is. The effect of educa-
ton has been to belittle work with the
hands and to raise up false standard
over "genteeP' occupations. The result
has been glut of white collar" workers
and dearth of artisans. AS result, the
mechanics have become fewer and fewer
and with the small number of apprentices
taken on, the time may come when there
will be no real mechanics at all. The point
is that the work with the hands is just as
dignifed as soft snap and far more use
full and necessary. Let that be stressed
in educational fields instead of educating
young people beyond doing productive
work.

Drunk With Power
or Just Plain Dumb?

Gov. Blaine is drunk with power, or else
he is jus nothing more or less than plain
dumb in the manner in which he is playing
the political game. He is singing out
those in office who failed to support him
in his recent campaign, and demanding
their retirement from office. He tried it
on District Attorney Clementson, of Grant
County, and has backed water. He made
bluff in his case against Severson and
again found public sentiment against him.
He now demands that State Geologist w.
0. HotchEiss and Mr.. Rosa of the Tax
Commission shall get out of his way In
Mr.. Blaine we have an example of extreme
Czarism, the like of which Wisconsin has
never had another. No real thinking citi-
zen of the state can respect him for the
many mistakes he is making, and we may
look for two years of rank misrule, unless
the voters shall regardless of party rally
to the support of his opponent Brodhead

Village Cops and Guns.

The Boscobel shooting episode, real or
alleged, convinces the Herald that guns
should be placed in the hands of local pc.
lice with considerable discretion. Many OF
the best marshalls and sheriffs in the state
never carry a gun, much less use one. They
rely on their good sense, the majesty OF the
law invested in them and moral force to
make arrests Rarely, except with desper-
ate criminals, is a gun needed. Two-gun
or one-gun officers are really not needed
The common-sense officer knows better
than to go about his work with an arsenal
strapped to him. The ,indiscreet cop is
menace because he may shoot without
provocation and when least expected.
Not police officer on the London force,
excepting detectives, carry gun: All they
have is a whistle and club. To carry
gun in England means Imprisonment.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1924-10-01
Observe the Traffic Rules.

The Herald notes that the right-hand
traffic rule in Lancaster is not observed as
much as it should be. The writer is one
who unwittingly broke the rule and
shouldn't have done SO.
The point is this: The pedestrian and
motoring public expect when rule is in
augurated that it will be obeyed. They
consequently expect to see machine fol-
low the right hand path and direct their
own steps or direction accordingly; When
a machine runs to the left in right-hand
traffic it throws the whole scheme out and
creates a menace that may result in an &C
cident, smash-up or death.
The public should take this matter serl-
ously and while the police are using edu-
cation and suasion at first they should not
be too lenient for too long time. Business
is business.

September Trade Review.

September Trade Review.
PRODUCTION in steel, shoe and textile
industries show an advance in August over
JULY Activity is gradually increasing.
DISTRIBUTION in the wholesale trade
shows much Improvement Retail sales
approximate those Of July and August OF
last year. Car loadings at the end OF Au-
gust rose above the million week mark.
PRICES are gradually rising: Brad
streets index for September l shows
gain Of IA percent over August |. The
advance over July was 80 percent.
MONEY shows further decline IN Au-
gust.
BUSINESS shows an increase in antici-
patton of fall trade. Stocks are low at
present.
FARM PRICES began to rise in time to
save the Northwest farmers from utter
despair. In general large yields and
good prices prevail. AS a result the buy
ING of merchandise by farmers has been
brisker than for motnhs.
MANUFACTURE has progressed in
most lines excepting steel. The iron IN
dustry is taken as criterion OF business
conditions and steel has been weak. At
the end of August 40 percent OF the fur
naces were busy with about So percent OF
capacity. Railroad orders have increased
steel volume and judging by recovery OF
steel trade, manufacture will go forward
at steady pace.
BUILDING has been steady all year
with a total in excess Of last year. This
has greatly offset inactivity in other lines.
The abundance of money and lower ma
terial costs this year has been OF great
benefit in promoting building this year.
COAL has been in slump due to the
great stocks accumulated last spring in
authorization of strike. The strike did
not materialize and heavy stocks re-
NAMED on hand all summer. AS result,
coal has been selling cheaper than for
wears, in fact at less than cost OF produc-
ton and freight. Lately coal prices have
shown an upward trend due TO coming on
of cold weather.
TEXTILES are reviving after period
of stagnation. Mills are beginning to op-
crate. Orders are coming IN.
COTTON is forecasted as crop OF IL
$4,000 bales, which is larger by 2,6OO,OOO
bales than the crop harvested last year
Recently raw cotton declined from 3Oc to
24c a pound Should the crop be as large
as expected broad dlSCf1DuClOn OF coCCon
products will result.
HIDES and LEATHER have shown ris-
ing trend in recent months.
CAMPAIGN influences have caused
widespread feeling that there cannot be
much of a business recovery until after
election. This feeling may have some eff
feet but it is certainly not measurable.
AS a rule business men act as the economic
facts Of situation require disregarding
an election coming on. The main effect of
