Not Alone

The Bombolala-or maybe he is the Lala Bombo of Orwasitatax to distinguish him from the other members of the Bombo caste who are not lalas-had a boy friend with him about eight feet tall and six feet wide across the tumtum. Whatever rank the boy friend en- joys when at home on the veldt the newsphoto shark did not get it. He was without doubt an Inkosi. Perhaps an InkosikaaS. Anyway he must have been tipped off to the English sunny day and took the sensible precautions to escape being drowned.

But
 But how does the Chevalier Bayard from Hartford propose to keep the woman away from the bars? How does he propose to compel the drinking place pro- prietors to live up to the law? The dispensers of liquor who are right-minded and who want to keep the business free of objec- tionable features will obey the regulation. But the chisellers will not just as they have never paid any attention to the present liber- alized statute. The worst enemies the liquor business has ever had have not been the reformers but those who ran 1t without any re- gard to law or order. They are the people who are creating wave of anger among citizens (who are not blue noSes) over the way they conduct their thirst parlors now and who are paving the way tor the return of some irnbecilic legiS- lation in the nation. What will Senator Cooney do if the bar keepers throw out the foot rail and set up pedestals in its place? And is the amendment which he so ardently championed and in urg- ing whose passage he spoke so elo- quently for the exaltation or Woman or the continuation of The League of Women Voters which IS J.

Post Election Business
New York Times

New York Times
One year ago in the first days following the
national election of 1886, American business faced
the future with apparent confidence. In that very
week the Times index of business activity reached
a new peak for the whole recovery movement Factory
employment and industrial payrols were at the hignest
levels in six years and steadily advancing. Steel was
booming More automobiles, more household goods
and more general merchandise were being sold than
at any other time since 1890 The value of new resi-
dental building had nearly doubled in year. For
the first time since the depths of the depression the
railways beginning to buy equipment on a sub
stantia scale An impressive expansion OF bank loans
for commercial purposes was under way. The country
was seemingly united in its belief that the achieve
ment of substantial measure of prosperity lay near
at hand and significant sign of the times was the
fact that the National Manufacturers Association long
critical of the Roosevelt Administration pledged 1T
self few weeks after the election, to cooperate IN
bringing about new tera of good feeling
That was the immediate post-election situation
of last year This year, unfortunately, the postA'
election period finds business activity Enthusiastically
declining with the recession already reaching large
proportions in some industries. The causes OF the
decline are many-sided But among them will be
found influences which political rather than eco
nomic During the past year American business has
been handicapped by unwise profits tax which was
still an untred experiment year ago. 1t has 10 race
the possibility of additional taxes in consequence OF
another failure to bring the Federal budget into bal
ance 1t has found its costs of production mounting
in part because of Government policies. 1t has had
to run gantlet of official criticism which has not
always been discriminating. And it has found IN the
long controversy the Supreme Court issue reason
to fear that some of the existing restraints upon the
exercise of centralized power would be swept aside
To state these facts is not to suggest that Gov
eminent policies alone have been responsible Tor
checking the business recovery which was SO plainly
in progress year 1t is certainly not to suggest
that the managers of American business have been
gltless of mistakes on their side, It is rather
TO support the argument that closer cooperat ton be-
tween business and Government has now become M
peratve if the present recession is to be checked before
it assumes the proportions of depression The under
living factors of the present situation fundamen
tally sound And granted such cooperation, 1T would
not be difficult to put business on forward track
and to recapture the confidence which prevailed year
ago.

CHICAGO, October 9.-The furni-
ture industry is on the road to re-
covery from recession that followed
the big July wholesale markets, latest
figures compiled by the National Asso-
citation Of Furniture Manufacturers

Despite the midyear slump and
somewhat disappointing July markets.
the industry is still we'll ahead OF IT'S
record in 1885 and, with factory orders
received so far in 1887 about 90 per
cent larger than in the corresponding
period last year, the industry has pros
poets of better than $500 900, 900
production year, which would be the
best since 1929.
Reporting manufacturers indicated
orders for the first quarter were IS
per cent better than last year. BY
May this gain had fallen TO 36 per
cent. In July it slumped to 21 per
cent over the first seven months of
1886 and at the end of August the
gain was 20 per cent. Shipments have
fallen from peak advantage of 65
per cent in February to 35 per cent
over the first eight months of 1896.

COPPER REDUCED
SHARPLY IN WEEK
Break in Domestic Price Laid to
Declining Demand and Weak
ness at London.

4y the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October Cooper
prices quoted by smelters on the
delivered valley basis declined last
week from 1924 cents at the begin
ming of the period to IL cents to-
ward the end.
The break was attributed to re-
duced domestic demand and weak
ness at London, where metals de-
mand came practically to a stand
still after sharp setbacks.
Business at the 12-cent level here
has been light thus far, with pro-
ducers holding back at a non-com-
petitive 13-cent quotation. In the
export market, prices sold off al
most "a cent to 1l95, with buying
only moderate.
Tin prices declined almost cents,
but later recovered slightly to 55ls,
off 217 cents for the week There
was noticeable pickup in demand
on the scale down, but much of the
inquiry was believed to be for specu-
lative account. The weakness was
precipitated by the London markets
and intensified by the trend in the
New York securities markets.
Zinc business was quiet following
