Grundy's Extra Room.

Senator Grundy of Pennsylvania,
high priest of protection, is criticized
now because he has in his employ men
who aided him in his efforts to have
tariff duties raised when he was merely
an outsider, the president of the Penn
His critics apparently think that when
Mr.. Grundy entered the Senate ne di-
vested himself of the interests which
have occupied his time and aroused his
enthusiasm for years. To entertain any
such belief would be as silly as to con-
slider that Senator Norris Of Nebraska,
for example, had Invested himself OF
the economic theories which he pos
sessed before he entered the Senate. A
senatorial toga may cover. but it does
not change the leopard's spots.
The story runs that Senator Grundy
has been assigned an extra room in
the Senate once Building. beyond the
two which were handed over to him
when he came as a freshman" to the
Senate few weeks ago. The expla-
nation given by Senator Moses, chair
man of the rules committee, which has
control Of the room space, was that Mr..
Grundy had the work of two Pennsyl-
vania Senator's to do. with Senator Reed
attending the Naval Conference in Lon
don, and that, obviously, the space as
signed TO Mr.. Grundy was inadequate
But the Senate lobby committee, which
brought to the attention of the Senate
and the country the employment OF
Charles L. Eyanson of the Connecticut
Manufacturers Association by Senator
Bingham of that State while the tarifi
bill was being considered by the finance
committee, of which Mr.. Bingham was
member, has sought to make another
cause celebre against a Interpretations
ist Senator. Mr.. Grundy was to b'
the victim. To date, however, the at
tack on Mr.. Grundy has fallen some

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

A Name.
Nov, what is fame?"
Unto the oracel / cried.
"Is it a name
Fraught with magnificence and pride?'
IT'S but a name; word we hear
That may call forth Affections tear
When Greatness finds that silent spot
Where enmities are all forgot.
1t is not where the trumpet brays
To measure songs of fiattering phrase
But in the silence where some heart
Is beating, from the world apart.
Yet rhythmic to the world that knew
The value of leader true
Whose Love for us was boldly shown
We come too late to tell our own
For him who, like the rain or sun,
Asked naught for all that he had done
And yet, to toll all free from pride
He linked his name"
Straightway the oracle replied,
And that Is fame"

Washington's Protest.

Tomorrow afternoon at Constitution
Hall, in this city, public meeting will
be held for the purpose of expressing
the sentiments Of the people of Wash
ington regarding the persecution of
religicnists in Russia. This will be
interoenominational. Representatives of
the Christian and Hebrew churches
will participate IN the services and
program. The Bishop of Washington
will preside and will deliver the intro
ductory address. The pastor of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
will render the invocation. The rabbi
Of the Washington Hebrew Congregation
viii read the Scripture lesson. The vice
president of Georgetown University and
director general of the Papal Relief
Mission to Russia in 1922 will deliver
the address. The pastor of the Wesley
Methodist Church will offer the con-
Guiding prayer.
Thus will be assembled the united
forces Of organized religion at the
Capital. That the assemblage will be
similarly representative of all the
churches and congregations of worship
in Washington is to be expected. The
feeling on this subject of the Russian
prosecutions on the part of the people
who however they may worship, what
ever their forms or rituals, is very
strong. Regardless of the political
aspects of the Russian experiment in
Communistic government, the oppres-
sion and persecution of the Christian
and the Jewish peoples in that land has
aroused the indignation and sympathy
of Americans.
There is no purpose of calling for
Intervention in Russia. This Govern
ment, refusing to recognize the Soviet
organization at Moscow as a member of
the family Of nations. cannot and
even If the case were otherwise could
not protest formally against the treat
ment of the churches and the church
members of Russia But the voice of
the people of this land, and other lands
where the same feeling prevails, can
and should be raised in condemnation
of the measures of repression adopted
by the Russian commisars of govern
ment.
Atheism and Communism are hand
in hand in Russia. 1t is the purpose of
the latter to stamp out all religious
forms and organizations and to coerce
the people into abstention from public
worship. 1t is the aim of the SovietS
to make Russia Goddess land. This is
impossible. No mandate of the state,
no tyranny of rule can kill the spirit
of worship, the belief of a people in a
higher power than man. There may be
in Russia a period Of stagnation in re-
ligious works and observances, due to
fear Of punishment and reprisal, but
the fundamental faith of the people in
God will endure and will eventually re-
vive in outward manifestation.
The hideous tragedy in Russia is TAX
ing various forms, slaughter, confisca-
ton, assaults upon the family, the
home, the most sacred institutions. The
attack upon the church is simply one
of the manifestations of madness that
has seized the people of that unhappy
land. Tomorrows meeting here will
give voice to Washington's call for the
restoration of sanity.

established by directors Of the

June break was on June 10, and
the lows were reached o week
later, indicating a shortening Of
the cycle. Since trading Tuesday
was the greatest during the re.

possibility Of new lows on the

days.

'CHATHA|N SEES1
|. FALL UPTURN |

The Chatham Phoenix National
Band and Trust Company, in its
monthly survey of trade, declares
that the conviction now is de-
yeloping in the minds Of well
informed executives Of the United
States that industry and trade
have finally turned the low point
Of depression and that a revival
Of activity Is pending.
October brings business to .
period when advances Of . sea-
sOnal nature may be expected"
the banks review says.
"A determination may be said
to be forming in the collective
business mind to climb out no
matter what may come"
While admitting that the gen.
eral public is tending to exagger-
ate unfavorable developments Of
news and to ignore favorable in
dications, just as q year ago the
reverse was true, the National
CITY Banks review Of general
business declares that the cur
rent depression is now largely
psychological and needs more
than liberable doses Of sunshine"
talk to restore the country on
the road to prosperity.
"The month Of September
has witnessed some impreve-
ment In business" the bank
says, (which has b been rather
pronounced In some lines, but
taking the situation as . whole
the gains have been too uneven
and have failed to touch too
many important industries to
carry the conviction rs to the
permanency Of the uptrend.
AT this time Of year the sea-
SOnal increase in the demand
for goods would naturally i'm
part q stimulus TO trade and in
dustry, hence the real measure
Of progress must be judged only
after m q king allowance for
these influences. When this Is
done, it must be admitted that
the showing for fall business
50 far has not been very en-
eOuraging."

TnternationaI Telephone

Heavy selling of international
Telephone, which dropped to a
new low for the year, was the
most puzzling development IN
view of the all-around strength
in the market. I am told selling
orders for the stock came IN
from all over the street.
The break in the stock was
the more surprising since the
Company only recently declared
the regular 50-cent quarterly divi-
dend and intimated that the
current So rate on the common
would be maintained. .
Earnings for the year will
about cover the dividend rate,
is estimated. Perhaps the
current disturbance in Cuba had
something to do with the new
selling, following the recent up
heavals in South America. I. T.
T, has large investments in all.
It is still too early to forecast
dividend action for the next quar-
ter, though some feel the divi-
dend is doomed. However, ac-
tioTl of the stock is a warning
to stay away from 1t for the
time being and not make any
commitments.
