DIVERSE TRADE
MAY BE END
Of SLUNPS
By b. c. FORBES

However 1t may be in the rest
of the country. there are in New
York two main subjects of daily
conversation. No, the presiden-
tial campaign is not one of them.
They are: The stock market and
baseball.
The financial and business
world thus far has totally ignored
the election as possible source
Of disturbance.
Have America and Americans
changed? -
there is no longer one stock
market on the floor of the New
York Stock Exchange but many
ptock markets. The market for
railway issues often moves en-
tirely Independently of other
groups. Motor stocks form mar
ket OF their own; so do the oils;
so do the utilities. Rarely Is there
uniformity of movement in all
divisions. Rather is it customary
Tor advances and declines to oc-
cur in the same day in differ
ent classes Of securities.
Up Or Down
In the old days the whole mar
ket moved either UP or down. 1t
was then easy enough to answer
the question, Whats the stock
market doing?" That question
can now be seldom answered in
one sentence; it is necessary TO
particulariZe.
When cotton was selling at ruin

Industry was demoraIized. visited

Business here is astonishingly
good. You would expect New Or

somehow, we seem to have grown
too big and too diversified in our
interests to be Frustrated by any
one industry or even by two such
vital industries as cotton and
sugar.

Take California. Oil prices may
become demoralized and fruit
growers suffer from unreasonably
low prices, yet business contrives
TO move along reasonably well.
California, like the stock market,
has become very much broader and
diversified in it's interests. Hard
times in one line no longer drag

THINKS DRYS WILL BOLT
Wayne c. Williams, Prominent
Democrat, Says Smith Will Be
Nominated and Defeated

Wayne e. Williams, prominent
Democrat of Denver, active in party
affairs, in a story appearing in the
Christian Century Of March Is, under
the caption, "Al Smith and the Dry
Democrats" ventures the prophecy
that Smith will be nominated even It
it is necessary to repeal the two
thirds rule at the convention, that he
will run on a platform declaring in a
general way for law enforcement,
and that he will be decisively beaten
in the November election. In his
opinion dry Democrats will bolt the
party He tells why he believes dry
Democrats will refuse to vote for
Smith. He says:
prohibition is Fart Of our religion.
Frankly, we wish the wet Democrats
could understand us better. We do
not hold these views casually nor
lightly, nor as mere campaign slo-
gan or even a party tradition. They
transcend party, they lie deeper than
any party program. They are part of
our inmos5 convictions woven into
our moral being Call us what you will
Tell us that we are narrow, puritanl-
cal, fanatical, provincial. The fact re-
mains that we believe in this prin-
ciple and this cause precisely as an
earlier generation believed in the
cause of freedom when Lincoln and
Douglas debated slavery on the prai-
rieS Of Illinois.
'' Is it right, said Lincoln. That is
the question that will endure after
these poor tongues of Judge Douglas
and myself are silent in the dust So
say we now about prohibition. Mil
lions of us followed Bryan, believed in
him, believe in him yet. The Bryan
spirit will be a potent factor when
Democrats make up their minds
about 1928.
Feeling thus, we can not support
Smith. He must win without us. The
nomination of Smith for the presi-
dencv means an immediate, steady,
partly open, partly silent, bolt, grow
ing in power and momentum and
area until it will reach beyond two
million votes in the north on election
day"

joke. and the right of private enter
prise to function without interference
of grating racketeers, fast becoming
a lost art.
We are actually no longer free
people. Already about siXty-one of
the necessary lines of business in Cook
county are paying dirty tribute to
these racketeers. This tribute is ulti-
mately paid by you and me in higher
taxes and higher prices.
Twenty-seven industrial plants rep
resenting millions in capital and
wages have recently left the state, no
longer able to stand the racket and
do business. This is not undertaking
nor mud-throWing. 1t is a fact to be
faced and acted upon.
What will be done about it?
The city, county and state will con-
tinue to be grossly mismanaged I'M
less we So-called Christians, church
people and very good people outside Of
the churches wake up and act.
The Chicago Tribune has said that
Chicago is governed by clowns with
q super-g government of crooks"
Why can this be truthfully said?
Because, for example, over q million
voters did not vote in the primary
election for States attorney at the
last election. That official was nom
mated by only 204,679 votes, out of a
total eligible vote of million and
quarter. Think Of it!
IF the vast majority of voters ne
elect the primary the vote at the
main election is largely useless. The
benefit or damage is done at the pri-
MARI. Here, then, is the cure for the
disease.
It is a simple, safe anG palatablc
dose. Tt is an old and sure remedy.
Specifically, on April 10, 1928, the par
ty candidates will be selected at a pri-
mary. There will be chance for
a choice Everybody knows that our
government is now based upon party
organizations There is no other way
even though party labels mean moth
ing in local elections. This coming
primary is the most important III
years, because it means chance to
improve our officials and therefore
reform the bad conditions.
Without the primary nomination Of
able, fearless public servants, the
present alliance between politics and
crime will continue and the undesir-
able minority will continue to prey
upon us, the majority.
Will there be chance to nominate
such able, fearless, honest men?
There will.
If most of the citizens vote at this
primary, no fear that they will not
vote right by majority. For informa-
ton will be at hand and this vast
majority have heart and brains, even
though these are politically dormant

EARTH LEANS
TOWARD SUM-;
| SUMMER NEAR
Spring of 1923 Will Be
Thing of Past Thursday
y Morning.

BIZ Science ScrCice
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Thurs-
day morning, June 81, at HOT a.
m. Eastern Standard Time, the
spring of 1928 will be thing OF
the past. Summer will begin at
that moment, according to the cal
culationS of astronomers here at the
Nautical Almanac Office of the Navy
Department.
At that time the sun, in its wan
behring's, reaches the zodiacal sign Of
Cancer, the crab. Also, at that time,
it reaches the tropic Of Cancer,
when it is farthest north, and then
starts southwark again. But to the
ordinary person, or even to the as
tronomer, there is no visible change
in the sun at the time.
Due to Earth's Motion
The changes in the suns posi-
ton, by which the seasons are dat
ed, are really due to the earth's
motion, and the sun itself has moth
ing to do with it. The sun remains
unconcernedly at the center Of the
solar system, the earth revolves
around it once in a year along the
path called the orbit of the earth.
But the earths axis is inclined to
the plane of it's orbit That is, if
one imagines the sun on fat table,
and the earth revolving around it
in it's orbit, also on the table, the
axis, or the line around which the
earth turns in its daily rotation, is
not perpendicular to the table. In
stead, it is inclined from the per-
pendicular, or straight up" by an
an angle Of twenty three and one
half degrees.
Leans Toward Sun
The result is that at certain times
of the year, as now, the north pole
leans towards the. sun, and the
northern hemisphere gets the great
est sunshine, and we have summer.
If the axis were not at such an
angle, there would be no change. in
season. Every part of the earth
would have the same season always.
Six months later the north pole
leans away from the sun, the north
ern hemisphere receives less heat
and light from the sun, and winter
is the result. Because the south
pole is towards the sun when the
north pole is tilted away, the sea-
sons in the southern hemisphere are
just the opposite Of those in the
northern.
When the sun enters Cancer next
Thursday, it, therefore, will be the
beginning of winter for people in
New Zealand and Australia.
