Still Buying.

For the fifth successive day since
the election Wall Street yesterday
witnessed phenomenal buying move
ment in all lines Of securities. Heavy
trading took place in 526 separate is
sues, with a turnover Of 2,226,220
shares. Though this was not quite so
heavy as the buying on Friday last, it
was in such volume and of such a
character as to indicate that the tide
of investment has not been stemmed
even by frequent and at times sharp
profit taking reactions. Granting that
a considerable part of this enormous
volume Of trading has been due to nu-
merous successive orders from the
same interests, which have alternate
ly bought and sold, it remains evident
that a vast capital sum has been
spent during these past five days in
investment
1t is significant that large part of
the business that has been done on
Wall Street during the past few days
since election has come from other
cities. The orders, indeed, have poured
in literally from every part of the
country. Yet this is not boom mar
ket in the sense of a sensational rise
in values. With all of the buying by
the millions of securities there have
been only moderate price ad.
vances. The buying has been
spread over such a wide range of
stocks, practically over the entire list,
including all the sound enterprises,
that it has not had the effect of fore
ing any particular stock or groups of
stocks unduly high. Often in the past
the thrush of buying orders has led
to rapid speculative advances. The
wholesome character Of the buying
this time is thus indicated.
All this means a sound. healthy con.
dition In industry in the United States.

Ayers Edmund Burke
Was Irish, Not Briton
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Evening Star Of the 9Th in
slant, in your description of THE
Monuments of Washington" you state
that Edmund Burke was an English
man. Edmund Burke was very much
an Irishman, as he was born in Dub
lin, Ireland, and his preparatory train
ing was gained at school in Balli-
tone, Kildare, Ireland. In 1743 he en-
tered Trinity College, Dublin, where
he was graduated B. A. and in 1851
took his degree as master Of arts.
In justice to this illustrious Irish
man, to Ireland and the Irish race. I
would thank you to kindly correct this
statement in one Of the early issues Of
your paper. -. McGu1dAN

The Treaty CHALLENGED.

A case unique in American history

completed, and, according to official
schedule, is on Saturday next to be
used as target and sunk. The plain.
tiff AYERS that the treaty has never
been properly ratified by other gov.
ernments, and. moreover. that it has
not been faithfully executed by them.
Destruction OF the Washington will
involve a heavy monetary loss to the
United States, and will reduce the
naval power Of this Government be-
low the point Of relative strength as
in theory prescribed by the treaty
owing to the failure of other govern

Should the court grant a tempo

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

II William NJ Butler of Massachu-
setts asks President Coolidge whether
the White House would rather have
him in the Senate or in the cabinet,
Mr.. Coolidge's reply will not be a
halting one. 1t will be to the effect
that Butler, during the next two
years, will be immensely more valuable.
to the administration in Congress
than in a departmentalp portfolio. The
President does not need support in
his own household. The Senate is
where it will count far more in 1925
and 1926. The laurel-crowned Repub-
lican national committee chairman.
if the word of Massachusetts, men in
Washington on that score is reliable.
will not hesitate to make the choice
preferable to Mr.. Coolidge. If there
could be a special election in the Bay
State now, many authorities believe
Senator David I. Walsh. with the
prestige of his tremendous run
against Speaker Gilett on November
4, would be invincible. But by 1926.
Butler may have dug in.
Nothing shadowed the afternoon of
Henry Cabot Lodges life so much as the
consciousness that he had lost his grip
on the political affection of Massa-
chusetts. The veterans "desertion'
of the President on three or four
major Coolidge policies in Congress
last Winter cost the Senator much OF
his old time popularity. Coming on
the heels of his narrow escape from
defeat in 1922. the Bay States ill-con-
cealed displeasure with Lodges hos
tility to Coolidge programs was the
most unkindest cut of all. The Bos-
ton Herald took a Statewide Repup-
lican consus of Lodges conduct and
for days printed whole pages of names
Of citizens who overwhelmingly voted
to "Stand by Coolidge" and in con-
demnation of their recreant senior

covered that a shoot was springing

He transplanted this shoot to Bay

about fifty years. When it had grown
to be medium size tree he trans
planted the whole tree to his home
near Wilkesbarre where 1t still stands

Governor Hastings in honor Of Will

healthy tree of stately proportions.
