SALUTE

So wrote Jim Pritchett in 1916, and for fourteen years he carried on the work of publishing the Sen tinel, aided immeasurably by a loy- al and willing wife. No call for aid, private or civic, found Jim Pritchett unresponsive. and the publication of his newspaper, which is to every newspaper man an ob- ligation sacred beyond the coneep- tion of the casual observer, was to him an opportunity to serve Wran- gell in a way which was possible to no other man.
 Differences of opinion arose oi course, for the newspaperman is al. ways the especial target of those who do not see eye to eye with the policies of the local press. But the knowledge that his adherents fal outnumbered his opponents meant to Jim Pritchett that his efforts were recognized and appreciated by the people in general and he wa'

FIRM UNDERT0NE
 ON BOND MARKET
Stock Privilege Issues, However,
 Follow Trend of Shares

New York, Sept. IS (P)-The in 'vestment section of the bond market was firm today but stock privilege issues followed the trend of shares. The best demand centered in utility and railroad issues of the highest grade.
 The volume of new offerings was much smaller than in the first half of the week, consisting solely of mu- nicipal issues, the largest of which was the s1.o00,000 4 per cent loan of the city of Cincinnati.
 The continued easiness of money when a tighter money market had been expected to result from the elimination of the large overdraft on the Federal Reserve bank of New York has been regarded as favor able to the bond market, and the renewal rate of ? per cent for call money yesterday gave impetus to in . vestment buying, particularly of railroad issues. Some f1rming of rates is anticipated during the re- mainder of the month as the sea sonal movement of funds from New York to the interior gains headway.
 Baltimore and Ohio Refundings 5s, St. Paul 5s of 1857, Canadian Pacific Railway AIS. Big Four # S, Colorado and Southern A. S. Chesa- peake and Ohio 4ks, Southern Rail- way 4s, Pennsylvania Gold "A. S, were among the railroad issues for which a good demand developed. Some issues which were strong yes terday showed fractional recessions as holders were influenced to take profits, but the group held firm. The same was true of Utilities. Con- solidated Gas 5ks, Detroit Edison 5s, and North American Edison 5s receding.
 Utah Light and Traction 5s reach ed new high. Investors displayed interest in Youngstown Sheet and Tube 5l2s, Goodyear Tire and Rub Der 5s and National Dairy 5As in the domestic section.
 In the foreign group standard European issues such as French 7ks, British 5 1ss, and German 51as were quiet and firm. Royal Dutch war rant As were active. South Ameri- can governments were little chang ed.
 Small changes, principally on the downside, developed in L. s, govern ments.

Stock Market Goes Into Reverse Again Today Although Descent Is
 Checked During Duller Intervals
Selling Resumed Through out List When Profes- sionals Turn Attention to Short Side Selling.

New York, Sept. IS P@The stock market slipped into reverse again to- day and moved slowly downhill, al though its descent was checked now and then during intervals of dull ness when offerings dried up.
 The mediocre rally yesterday led bearish professionals to believe that the best prospects for immediate profits were still on the short side and selling was resumed throughout the list. Utilities encountered con- siderable realizing, but pressure also was applied to the merchandising shares and to miscellaneous indus trials. Activity increased somewhat in comparison with the Wednesday trading, yet the turnover remained small.
 Declines generally held to nom- inal proportions in the more active stocks. American Telephone, North American and Stone 6 Webster yielded points or more and there were similar drops in R. H. Macy, Woolworth. Safeway Stores, Westing- house Electric, Johns-Manville, Loew's, Auburn. Autostrop, Foster Wheeler and Diamond Match. Amer ican Water Works, Sears Roebuck, Case, American Rolling Mills and Eastman Kodak lost 8. U. S. Steel, General Electric and American Can eased a point.
 News Sought
 In order to make much progress in either direction the market appeared to need more definite news, of one sort or the other, than has been forthcoming. Reports of better in quiry for some of the commodities, notably Steel, and Pig Iron and Cop per, indicate a belief on the part of important consumers that prices have scraped bottom; but in the ab- these materials improvement is re- garded as rather theoretical.
 Announcement of the terms of American Agricultural Chemical Company's reorganization brought flurries of activity in the company's stocks. The preferred, which is to be eXchangeable share for stock in the Delaware Corporation, scared half a dozen points to new high, hut the common, on which the eX- change basis is one-tenth of a share of new for one of the present stocks, slumped to a new low.
 Money was easy and so abundant tn 2 1 per cent against the call loan renew al rate of per cent.
 Professional bears have capitalized the sluggish response made by busi- ness in a period when seasonal gains are normal. In the other hand, more cheerful speculative cir cles profess to be satisfied with the situation and are willing to allow the recovery plenty of time.
 The weekly construction figures for the states east of the rockies revealed that the daily rate of new awards for September was running slightly behind August's, although the t1gures for residential building showed improvement.
 From trade circles came reports that business in the cotton mills was reviving and that the New York city garment industry was unusually busy, indicating that fall | buying had started. The president of an automobile company noted a 30 per cent increase in his con- cerns August business over July, characterizing the gain as "a defi- mite and encouraging upturn.'

CURB SENTIMENT
 MILDLY BEARISH
Selling Movement Met With
 Little Show Of Resistance

New York, Sept. IS P)-Specula- tive sentiment in the curb market was mildly bearish today and under the leadership of utilities, stocks moved irregularly lower. Bears met some resistance to a selling move ment as they prevailed upon the utility list but their continual ham, mering bore fruit and found encour- agement also in the lower trend on the big board.
 Other sections of the list were less affected and the dullness of trading was reflected in the many idle moments the recording ticker enjoyed. Activity of Missouri Kan sas Pipe. Line, was a feature of the market and bullish support enabled the stock, in large, turnover to re- sist the lower trend of the utility group.
 Electric Bond and Share which Is regarded as the best indicator of the trend of the market, worked down two points below so during the morning and attracted little demand on the buying side. United Light &, Power A, American and Foreign Power warrants, Brazilian Traction, American Light aand Traction and Middle West Utilities gyrated in lower ground.
 Consolidated Gas of Baltimore re- appeared in trading to drop one or two points and similar weakness was displayed by American Gas and Electric.
 Niagara Hudson and Utility Power and Light and Associated Gas and Electric fluctuated narrowly.
 With the exception of United Gas, Natural Gas stocks were fairly stable. Appalachian, National Fuel, Arkansas, Lone Star fluctuated var rowly. Dixie Gas and Utility was strong.
 Petroleum stocks were dull and price variations were confined to small fractions. Imperial Oil of Cm- ada was firm. Standard Oil of Ohio moved lower on thin sales. Cities Service held around the previous final quotation.
 In the industrial list, Mead John son lost further ground and Ford of England, Translux and Fox thea ters A, followed the general trend. Fokker was we'll supported. Anaeri- can Cyanamid B, was steady.
 Changes in investment and hold ing companies shares were narrow and the trend was mixed. Profit taking depressed Insull Utility h. vestment. Goldman Sachs was firm. United Founders worked lower.
 Call money renewed on the curb at 213 per cent.

BR00kHART SAYS ROOSEVELT UNFAIR
Claims New York Governor Hasn't Given Law a Trial

Washington, Sept. IS (UP)-Gov- ernor Roosevelt of New York, in advocating repeal of the 18th amendment, entered the prohibition controversy with unclean hands" because he has failed to give prohi- bition a, fair trial in his own state, Senator Brookhart, republican, Iowa, dry leaner, declared in state ment today.
 Says Hands "Unclean"
 Governor Roosevelt comes into the prohibition fight with unclean hands. His whole reason for de- manding the repeal of the 18th amendment is based upon his claim that it has been a failure.
 ITO the desirability of absolute prohibition he takes no exception and even comedies that the 18th amendment has banished the saloon which must stay banished forever. In spite of this he demands it's re- peal as a failure.
 "As governor of New Yorkthe took an oath to support the consti- tuition of the United States including the 18th amendment. What has he done to make that oath effective :? Nothing. There is no record of any administrative act on his part to enforce the 18th amendment. His state repealed it's own enforcement law before he became governor, and he has recommended nothing in its place.
 Merits Demonstrated
 The merits of any law are dem- onstrated by it's enforcement, hence Governor Roosevelt has failed to give prohibition a fair trial in his own state. In the circumstances no 1airminded person can say prohi- bition has been a failure even in New York. It is, Governor Roosevelt who has been the failure"
