Under an Unlucky Star.
New York Herald Tribune.)

In winning S273 425 in two campaigns the three
year odd Mate has achieved noteworthy dstinc-
ton and ranks seventh the worlds list Of
winning thoroughbreds, with chance of a much
higher place if he retains his present form as a
four year old.

equal the showing of the peerless Top Flight.
While Mate will go down in history a greater
money winner at three than Twenty Grand, he
will not be held in as high esteem as racehorse

was at the top of his form he invncible. His

TEXAS TURNING WET.

The recent Congressional election in the Four
teenth Texas district to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Harry M. Wurzbach Republican, who
had represented it since 1920 makes it plain that
not all Texas is dry AT the election there were
seven Democrats and Republican candi-
dates. Joseph Kleberg the successful Democrat,
wet, and he by more than 5000 plurality
over the next nearest Democrat The Republican
nominee was dry. He got less than one-seventh
as many votes as the two leading Democrats and
ran only third.
The late Congressman Wurzbach, who elected
six times Republican, personally very popu-
lar. He also wet and opposed the regular Re-
publican organization. He got many Democratic

TWENTY GRAND AND MATE.

The New York Herald Tribune thinks Mate was
born under an unlucky star because, while he won
more money than any other three-year-old this
year Twenty Grand defeated him just often enough
to prevent him from making world track earnings
record for his age.
We do not think it a matter of luck so
much as it of Twenty Grand's splendid ability
on the track. AS a matter of fact luck rather
with Mate than Twenty Grand. Mate won the
Preakness through Twenty Grands hard luck in
being interferred with by his stablemate
Mate is magnificent horse and his winnings far
exceed quarter of a million, but we believe that
most experts will give Twenty Grand higher
rating than his chief opponent Twenty Grand was
also one of the greatest winners among three-year-
ODDS and unbeatable where the distance
was greater than mile and quarter His stamina
marked him of the worlds greatest horses
in all time-greater, believe, than Mate. How
ever the hope that both horses will be kept in
condition and the turf as four year -oldS and
longer will be general That will be the only sure
way TO settle the rivalry

CONGRESS TAKES RIGHT STAND.

Congress has decided, finally let US hope that
the United States will not forgive modify Euro
pean war debts. If the legislative branch of the
Government has its way the debts will be paid or
the countries of Europe will have to repudiate their
financial obligations We already had forgiven
Great Britain more than 80 per cent of her debts,
France more than 60 per cent, of hers and
Italy more than 80 per cent.-more than $600O-
100000 in all
AS a debater said in the House the other day,
the United States ought not to invite the European
countries republic their costs their loans for
rehabilitation and food and clothing for their suf
fering citizens. To do would be to invite them
to go to war again. knowledge that debts
will be forgiven if they become onerous would make
war more tempting than it otherwise would be.

Al Smith Gets New Honor.
New York Times.)

Candidates used to have cigars and marching
clubs and babies named for them. Now hor-
ticulturist upstate has named a rose for Alfred
Emanuel Smith. The Ex-Governor was duly proud.
Perhaps he is the first American politician to re-
ceive such a distinction Presidents wives have
had flowers called for them. But Chester A.
Arthur, the most elegantly attired of all Chief
Executives, got his name into the lighthouses
by any other name than Als-even if it
were Frank Newton Bert-would not smell
as sweet to a great many people His admirers
agree with the hortcultrist and would name an
entire garden for Mr.. Smith if they could
In the pleasant account of the ceremonies there

this be true? If there is hamlet in all the

FIFTY-FIFTY ADVERTISING.

One of the great tobacco companies has started
something entirely in advertising, developed
around the fifty-ffty idea, which in turn is found
ed the theory that fair split is always honest
and sportsmanlike. Thus, carrying the thought into
the business of publicity, we find this cigarette
manufacturing company printing photographs OF
beautiful movie stars-as part of their ADVERTISING
with testimonials for this particular brand of
Tags and with this notation in bold type:

endorsement of -------- is to you

Fair exchange is robbery. The movie star
gets her name and photograph in hundreds OF
newspapers of general Notwithstanding which
could not be had in the magazines devoted es-
pecially to the film industry The cigarette makers
get the benefit of beautiful display for their
advertising copy along with the free testimonial

generally regarded as just SO much paid propa-
ganda, and therefore worthless When the publicity

business it is to pick leader have been I'M
certain and vacillating. They have had plenty of
time to make choice, but have seemed unable
to make up their minds. To delay longer in putting
the committee in proper shape to build up the
organization throughout the country for the 1882
campaign would be the height of folly. There is
little enough time to do that job it is.

BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Under
ordinary circumstances, the heavy
selling activity, together with the
sharp decline in prices at the
close of yesterdays session might
be regarded in the nature Of q
temporary climax to be followed
by an automatic rally.
However, the market has upset
so many precedents prescribed
for it during the present phase
Of the decline that no responsible
source cares to venture any
prognOStication on what stocks
will do from day to day.
Term Buying Sound
The old standby is that COM
mitments made in selected COM
mon stocks at current levels will
work out profitably in time.
1t is again pertinent to note,
that while the accepted market
averages have entered new low
ground successfully for the past
three days, the rails are still
above their bottoms established
on September 10. The consensus
of opinion is that when the long
delayed rallying movement sets
in, the carriers will be well in
the vanguard of the upswing.
There are now only two COM
panies with common stock valu-
alton of billion dollars or more
on the Stock Exchange.
Nine Eliminated
They are American Telephone,
with slightly less than 212 bill
p lions, compared with more than
four billions in 1929, and General
Motors, with slightly over one bill
lion against four billions in 1929.
Companies which had previously
been in this select circle back in
1929 were Consolidated Gas, Du-
pont, General Electric, New York
Central, North American, Penn
sylvania, Standard Oil Of New
Jersey, United States Steel, and
Woolworth.
