days abrupt reaction just before the
close was generally attributed to the
raiding tactics on the part of group
of uptown plungers, who have been
launching intermittent attacks for
the last several weeks. Certainly
there was nothing in the weekly
Federal reserve statements to ac-
count for the sudden sinking spell.
At this center the reserve ratio was
strengthened in the last week to
S1.8 per cent against SOL week ago,
and 1853 a year ago, while the ratio
for the system as whole increased
to 1877 per cent against 70.2 in the
preceding week.
This proof that no cause for anx-
iety existed on the score of credit con-
ditions served as a steadying infu-
pee in the early dealings and some
zSecoveries were scored in the prin-
cipal speculative stocks. U. S. Steel
moved up fractionally to 1345s,
American Can gained u to 2S51z
U. S. Rubber u to S0ss, and Dupont
u to 2661s.
Support was encountered around
noon, checking the downward move
ment in the main body of stocks,
Heavy buying orders on the scale
down were reported in Steel common
and the issue came back about a
point from the low of 1895. Other
industrial leaders rallied in proper
ton. Hudson rebounded a point to
1443s and General Motors point
ito 1854.
An important factor in the stead
Ter tone displayed by the general
list at the end of the morning was
the impressive behavior of the

sect of Quakers were greatly
elated when William Penn,
the talented young son Of Admiral
Penn, became an open convert to
their religious views, taking so
prominent part in their demon
strations that he was expelled from
oxford, where he was then
student. At first the admiral
stormed at his son, for King Charles
III was about to raise the elder Penn
to the peerage, but drew back when
he heard that the son had become a
Quaker. The fathers anger, how
ever, was short-iived; he soon for

placed William Penn, became the
most prominent Quaker in England.
Likewise, William Penn became
the most famous of all the colony
builders of America. His province
of Pennsylvania Tor "Penn's Forest

granted to him in 1880, in payment
Of a debt owed by the Crown to
Admiral Penn, and which William

frequently suffered persecution and
Imprisonment for his religion in
England. Neither could he nor his

colonies Of America, for>the Quakers

Hardwood Lumber Prices
Are Steady on Most
Grades.
By RAIDER Winget

RICES on hardwood are
r. about steady this month
on all grades except those
from the South" says Edgar Rich
ardson of the Long-Knight Lumber
Company. Heavy rains in the
southern part Of the United States
have hampered cutting and shipping
to a great extent, and prices have
been boosted as a consequence.
The bulk OF the material handled
by hardwood men is absorbed by the
furniture manufacturers. Only a
small part Of the output is used in
the construction of buildings, says
Richardson. The heavy building pro
gram forecasted for 1926 will not
necessarily affect the demand or the
prices on hardwood to any great ex-
tent.

People Rule

Although the power to make laws,
establish courts and otherwise regu-
late the affairs Of the colony was
conferred upon Penn by the king,
he established popular government,
giving to the people the right to
elect an assembly which should
make their own laws.
PENIS most conspicuous success
was in his dealings with the Indians.
The story Of his famous treaty with
them. made under a great elm tree
on the banks OF the Delaware River,
is known to all. BY this treaty he
purchased from the red men the
land included within his grant, and
they agreed to live in love with
William Penn and his children as
light" Although there were no
written words, his sacred treaty was
kept unbroken until long after those
who made it had passed away, and
Pennsylvania was freed from the
danger Of Indian wars which beset
less just and less fortunate common
wealths.
Penn had established a home in
Philadelphia, the capital Of his col
ony, and there he would gladly have
spent the remainder of his life; but
after two years in the colony he was
called back to England by business
and was detained there for fifteen
years.
Arrested for Treason
After the revolution of 1888. which
had brought William and Mary to
the throne of England and Scotland,
Penn was suspected of giving aid
and comfort to the dethroned James
II. and was once arrested for
treason. In 1852 he was deprived
OF his colony, but two years later,
the charges against him having been
dismissed, he regained Pennsylvania.
In 1899 he revisited his province.
Vast changes had taken place
during his absence. Twenty thou
sand people now inhabited the
province. Many Of them knew
nothing OF William Penn except that
he owned their colony and possessed
rights which they wished to exer.
else. They demanded an even more
Democratic Government than Penn
had given them before. He granted
their request, and the charter which
he conferred upon them in 400 re-
manned in force for seventy-five
years--until the War of indie
pendence.
In 1901 Penn babe farewell to
Pennsylvania and sailed again for
his native land. His was sad
homecoming for on reaching Eng

PRIDE IN THE FATHERS

The national holidays particularly like July
country on account of the wonderful men who
founded its institutions. We swell with pride be-
cause these pioneers and founders created such a
noble country, and we feel that some of their glory
belongs to us whether we merit it or not
1t reminds one of the attitude taken by the
Hebrew people, as recorded in the sacred Scrip
lures, when John the Baptist preached to them.
When he called on them for repentance, they re-
marked in their quaint language, owe have Abra-
ham to our father. and they felt that this sufficed
them for righteousness
So we today may say that we have Washing
ton and Lincoln and Jefferson and Franklin and
the rest of them as our fathers, and their mantle
descends on and covers up our faults Ameri-
cans and citizens
These old founders created this country on the
theory that there was among the people high
standard of civic virtue which would rally around
any good cause and keep the people from those
perils which in past years had always destroyed
democratic government Of course the people in
those days were not all fine and noble. There were
plenty of slackers and lawbreakers,just as there
are now. Perhaps the average Of civic spirit is
higher now than it was then.
But the fact that they had noble ancestors will
not help the people of Key West one particle, I'M
less they take hold of the duties of citizenship just
as their ilustrious forefathers did with the same
earnest determination to make good country out
of it. We are not called on now to fight for our
freedom, but arescalled to think and study and
organize to promote good government.

SPREAD OF THE zoNlrc MOVEMENT
Buffalo Evening Times)

Signal testimony to the scope and growth of
the city-zoning movement in the United States, is
supplied by figures issued short time ago by the
Building and Housing Division of the Department
of Commerce
The assembled statistics prove that more than
half of the urban population of this country lives
in zoned cities and towns.
Not less significant than the actual extent of
zonng, as demonstrated by the national survey, is
the zone system as it is today, compared with its
beginnings.
Iii 1916 there were only six cities which had
coming ordinances in effect To be sure the six
constituted major indication to how events
were trending, for they represented total of up
ward of six millions in population.
But now 4s6 municipalities in the United
States, have coming ordinances. All told, they
have 275O0,0OO inhabitants. In ten years. the
number of cities and towns zoned, has multiplied
more than ~ times. The zone-dwelling citizenship
has increased between four and five times over 1t
has exceeded SO per cent of the entire urban popu-
lation--a fact which is the more striking because
urbanlzaton Is one OF the outstanding develop
ments of the time. and the nation is manifestly
destined to grow predomnantly urban flor a long
while to come.
1t is clear from the foregoing, that coming,
which originally asserted itself in few localized
instances, has become national movement. One
locality after another became convinced of its bene
fits. Then groups followed suit, and latterly the
idea has been expanding by leaps and bounds.
One of the most important aspects of the
topic is that of the enlistment of cities and towns
of all varieties of size and classification, in the
cause. zoning is longer regarded as necessity
exclusive only to large cities 1t is seen that it is
equally adaptable to municipalities of every kind.
Plainly, the time is not distant when the zoned
town village will be the rule and the unzoned
one Of the exception.
