Stocks went soaring upward, but commodity

expected. Wherefore stocks fell again with bang
And now despite slight rebound, Wall Street is sad
and puzzled
The New York Times makes sensible and rather
obvious suggestion:
$50 far as can be at the moment, the lesson
of the recent markets would appear to be that produc
ers must for the present rest their expectations on
large and constantly increasing sales without the pro-
portionate marking up of prices
In plain English, business profits-which make
stock values-dependon the market for goods, and the
market depends the price of goods and everything
will be all rg if there is general effort to force up
prices.
There is plenty of buying power in the country,
if prices are moderate. Moderate prices will make
large volume of sales. Heavy sales with fair per-
centage of profit will make profits altogether,
this year than could be gained by fewer sales with
high percentage of profit.

NEGROES DYING OFF

The negro death rate in American cities IS appaI-
ling This is especially true the North where there
has been large migration of southern negroes, liv
ing mostly in poor, crowded, unsantary quarters and
not yet accmated. In northern city, where the
mortality rate among native whites last year was 79
per thousand, among negroes it was 29.1 per thou
sand nearly four times great.
At this rate the negroes in America would die off
in few generations 1t is more than twice the death
rate of whole population.
The negro whole still shows more births
than deaths in this country, but the margin is slight

Chapman Gains Three Months.

A communication of Gerald Chapman's
Federal sentence Of twenty-five years
at Atlanta penitentiary renders nuga-
tory any habeas corpus proceedings
for the stay of his execution in Con-
necticut for murder. But Chapman's
refusal to accept the commutation
raises new legal point, which
serves, nevertheless, to stay the exc
cution. The Governor OF the State
has granted a respite Of three months
to permit this question to be deter
mined by the highest court. II that
court decides that the prisoner can
elect to remain in custody for his
earlier crime Of mail robbery rather
than meet the extreme punishment
for his later and more serious crime
of murder, Chapman must. despite the
communication, be remanded to Allan
ia, to remain twenty-five years, with
the gallows in Connecticut facing him
upon the expiration of his sentence.
This Is a fine point Of law, but for
the public patience too fine a point.

take account OF the reasons why the
Nation should give thanks for bless

of gratitude is adequate. The people
of America should thoughtfully con-
slider the circumstances of their life.
the bNlnties they are enjoying. the
opportunities they find in daily lives
to advance and to justify themselves
as members Of society.
Yet enumeration Of the blessings
that have been bestowed upon us as a
people is a trite recital at best. They
are we'll known. often related. They
are evident in the daily goings and
comings OF all the people. They are
part Of the very atmosphere OF every
day existence. Prosperity. employ
ment. security from aggression, free
choice Of occupation, the chance for
every man to rise to higher planes Of
3ocial and business activity. a sound
Government based upon the highest
principles Of self determination" the
administration of affairs intrusted to
citizens of integrity and capacity
such are the fundamentals of Ameri-
can life.
To appreciate the blessings of
American citizenship. especially in
these times. 1t is but necessary to
glance abroad, to other lands, where
conditions are far less favorable to
happiness and social development.
Though SCARED by the war. through
the loss of a multitude Of men, Amer
lea has received no deep wounds
Prosperity prevails in all sections.

virtually life imprisonment to death.
is natural Many another man has
done the same. though never before
in such circumstances. He has
right to all the appeals and devices
the law permits. But this country
has witnessed many a defeat Of JUS
tice through the invocation Of tech
nicalities. many protracted delays In
the execution of sentences through
the ingenuity OF counsel, until no
longer is there confidence that the law
will take its course when men have
challenged it to the limit.
Though it is important that this
question now raised in Chapman's
case should be definitely settled by
the highest court, 1t is to be deplored
that it has been invoked. for even
though the convicted man should
eventually be executed, his tempo
rarily successful challenge Of the law
will have a harmful effect. 1t is al
ready recognized that criminals are
encouraged to take risks because Of
the chance that they may defeat JUS
tice through technical maneuvers and
delays. The percentage Of unpunish-
ed crimes is shockingly high in this
country.
\ volunteer commission of citizens
is at present at work studying the
question of crime in America. seek
ing the cause or causes of the ter
rifying prevalence of lawbreaking
and the cure for this condition. 1t Is
believed that one of the most definite
conclusions that commission will
reach is that crime is foStered by the
delays and uncertainty of prosecu
tiun and punishment upon convic-
ton. and that the remedy lies in en-
largement of the courts, the curtail-
ment of appeals and the shortening Of
trials. This Chapman case is mate
rial for study and furnishes the basis
for an unanswerable argument for
speedier justice as a means Of public
protection against crime.
