money.
Now you are shouting, Bill.
All the money on earth--gold

PUBLIC EDWARDS

Washington commentator is aghast at the
cowardice of politicians.
The extraordinary amount of caution they eX-
ercise is impressive.
But it is not, after all, such strange phenome-
non.
The price the average politician pays for his
position is a surrender of his convictions.
Office holders depend upon votes for their JOB
and they must make friends to get votes.
If they make enemies they forfeit support which
is essential for them in keeping their places.
And yet, politics does not always make towards,
neither does a democracy always pitch up to the
front men who are afraid to make enemies.
Jackson Lincoln, Cleveland, Roosevelt Wilson
the Big Five of American political history were
enemy-makers.
They were fighters not for their positions, but
for their principles, and posterity is taking good
care of them, not so much because of their pre-
eminent natural capacity, but because when they
had to take the risk of losing, they took it.
The right to them was more insstent than pass
ing personal popularity.-CharlOtte Observer.

BRITISH Minimize
j. s. STOCK BREAK.
Financiers View Recovery
Plan as So Strong Moth.
ing Can Stop It.
BY NEGLEY FARSON.

~ Cable to The Star.
LONDON. England. July 22.-While
the entire British press sensationally
plays up the break in Wall Street, the
London Stock Exchange itself and Brit
ish financial experts are remarkably
CAIN about 1t.
It should be pointed out that London
itself Is Just finishing q depressed fort
night in the stock market. Early bull
boosting of industrials started con-
tagious enthusiasm, which reflected in
q general rise. Then came profit taking
end gloomy finish for in-and-out gam
biers.
Similarly, the steadier operators have
been watching New York with definite
feeling that speculation in Wall Street
had stepped out too far ahead Of the
industrial recovery. It was not shock,
therefore, when the break came.
London feels that large part Is due
TO technical reaction imposed by the re-
striction on future dealings overhanglng
from Washington.
Setback Held Temporary.
From interviews this correspondent
had with Stock Exchange directors and
London financial experts today. the con-
sensus was more Of relief than OF anx-
iety-relief that the break came now
instead of later.
General BELIEF among these experts is
that the American recovery is so strong
that nothing can stop it. The break
now means temporary setback. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has used hardly any OF
his weapons to force recovery. A break
later, after reconstruction Is well under
way and with the weapons partly used,
would, in the eyes Of British experts,
have been catastrophe.
But there Is almost universal ques-
tioning here regarding Ben. Hugh
Johnson's wage raising program. 1t
is not the policy itself that concerns
might be used too swiftly. In this case
the British fear 1t will have Just the
opposite effect from the one intended;
that is, it will be deflationary. It will,
they say, If wages are forced arbitrarily
too high, tend to restrict production.
It is Just possible that the British
themselves might have precipitated the
Wall Street break unintentionally.
Wednesday night they announced an
offer to convert f133, 3,000, 900 Of United
Kingdom 5A per cent dollar loans to a
third Of this loan was held In New
York. The offer to convert on Q pre-
MUM basis meant that this sum would
be repatriated to Great Britain.
Dollar Demand Increased.
The consequence meant big de-
mand for American dollars. This meant
an inevitable appreciation Of the dollar,
as was Immediately shown by the dollar
bettering from its pre-war parity to
465 against the pound In the London
nlIOtatiOn this morning
Therefore, as American speculators
have been working on the falling dol
lar as a means Of raising stock market
prices" the theory is that any sudden
betterment In the dollar will herald
q falling Of the stock market.
British experts believe that one Of
its most important outcomes must be
to warn President Roosevelt of the
fallacy Of attempting to base . sound
internal recovery policy On the psy-
chology Of falling external dollar

fell and fractured his hip June ~. He
was confined to the hospital. and was
apparently recovering when pneumonia
set In.
Several members OF the Revenue
Bureaus legal staff testified ut the in
quest that Marshall tripped over
bulge In the metal door sill which was
caused by loose screw. One witness
said the defect had been reported to
the sliperintendent's ONCE, but was.
never satisfactorily fixed. The inquiry
was held to determine whether the at
torneys death was due 70 natural
causes, or accident, In which case his
estate could apply for compensation. it
was said.

two sons and . daughter, lived ct 1857
