Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, July s-Late selec-
tive buying support got behind the
stock market today, and early losses
running to 8 or more points were re-
duced in many cases in the final hou,.
Traders cashed profits in the forse
noon, and in comparably slow deal.

reaction since the sharpest advance

on June 90
Activity picked up a bit on the be.
lated mild comeback, but transfers an.
proximated only 500, 900 shares. Not
withstanding some last-minute i'm
provement declines were widely dis.
tributed at the close.
Analysts could find little in the news
to account for the forenoon setback.
In fact. Straws in the business and in

aside on the theory the market was
due for much greater correction"
than it had experienced.
The consensus was that the first
speeches Of the President on his trans
continental tour brought few serious
market repercussions either way
In some quarters talk of the anti
monopoly investigation hitting the
steel and cement industries-recent
confusing price shifts in these sectors
were recalled-was thought to have
had moderately depressing effect
on speculative temperaments.
A few aircrafts contested the trend
throughout and oils eventually stif-
fened. Forecasts of larger armament
orders aided the former, while a big
drop in crude oil stocks helped ths
latter. Few issues in these groups were
particularly bouyant, however.
Rails took a slight turn for the
better when it was revealed last weeks
freight loadings were up more than
seasonally at a new top for 1898. Car
rier bonds gave ground.

HUMAN EROSION
BY DIR. CHARLES STELZLE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor
League


One OF the most commendable SER
vices being rendered by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture of the Govern
ment is its heroic effort to save our
country from the devastating effects
OF soil erosion. 1t is almost sickening
to see the great gullies in land which
at one time bore abundant harvests.
Fifty million acres has already been
ruined by soil erosion. And another
fifty million acres is close to being
submarginal. This means that unless
measures are taken to redeem this
land, it will become desert as great
as the combined area of the States Of
New York, Iowa and Georgia.
While farmers Of the present gen
Grafton will profit by what the Depart
ment is doing, it is striking fact that
much Of it will be beneficial only to
future citizens of the United States.
This is piece of statesmanship and
patriotism which should have the
hearty approval Of every American
who is concerned about the future of
his country.
But "erosion" is not limited to farm
and grazing areas. 1t is found in
great citles-among people. And the
situation created by human erosion is
as grave problem as soil erosion. In
some respects it is even more harm
full.
Such "erosion" is seen in filthy,
vermin-infested, unsanitary tenements
in the slums, into which men and
women and little children are crowded
like cattle.
1t is seen in the long bread-lines
composed of the wreckage of manhood,
during every depression period, and in
the cheap lodging houses on the edge
of the city's criminal sections.
1t is seen in low incomes and mar
ginal standards of living, which are
responsible for lack of nourishment,
lack of clothing, lack of housing, and
lack of those things which bring joy
and happiness to the poor.
1t is seen in the spectre of unem-
ployment which drives men to desper-
alton, lowers their morale and their
efficiency, causes them to listen to the
plausible arguments of the agitator
who advocates "isms" which are
foreign to the spirit Of the real Amer
lea.
These are some of the factors which
create human erosions-erosions of the
mind, the body, the spirit of men.
Fortunately, the Government is not
neglectful of these. Through other
Departments it is filling the assures
and enriching the waste places of hu-
manity.
One of the great things about
America is that it's Government really
cares about such matters, and to the
extent of its ability and with the CO.
operation of those who are in a posi-

AVERAGE MAN TAKEN AT FACE
tt. VALUE 1.'.'
(By BRUCE CATION

Probably the best of all commentaries
on the amazing Coster case is the piaintive
note contributed by the publisher of Who's
Who, who remarked: who's Who takes
1t for granted that man elected president
of an S87, 000,000 concern is man of good
reputation and standing in his community"
Because practically everybody else fol-
lows the same rule, an imaginative swim
dler-was able to put across one of the most
1ahtastic hOaxes of modern times, deceive
everybody from the U. s. government to
Wall Street, and come to grief only be-
cause of slip-up on minor detail.
People probably will be drawing morals
from this case for years to come But in
some ways the most striking thing about it
is the way il illustrates the almost universal
tendency to take man at his own valua-
ton. SAT-. -
Banks have cOmmendable wariness in
the matter of cashing checks, and most
business firms want to know little some
thng about you before they will let you
open charge account; but beyond that
you can get people to believe practically
anything you say about yourself, and your
hisfdry is what you say it is. -'.. ser
And the odd thing about it all is not that
a nan like Coster, or Musica, pops up once
in a while to make everybody look like a
sucker, but the fact that it doesn't happen
oftener. -"
1t could happen. All our business and
social machinery is geared to the SUPPOSE
tioh that the average man is a decent and
hoporable sort-the belief that itisn't nee
essary to take extraordinary precautions
against swindling because most men sim.
ply aren't the swindling kind. Any man
who has plenty of nerve and imagination
can take advantage of that set-up and get
away with it for a long time-as witness
Coster, Ivar Kruger, DIR. Cook, and sun
dry others. .,,.--.
But ordinarily people live up to our ex-
peetations. They pan out just about as we
think they will. We don't have to police

A BODY known as the Social
IA Security Advisory Council is
reported ready with some recon-
mendations about the old age
contributory pensions system.
The session Of Congress nears.
And when the lawmakers sit down
with the nations troubles, old age
pensions are going to be among
ihe first to be considered.
Il is very serious moment for
those genuinely concerned about
the problem of the aged.
How to care for those who be-
come too old to be useful in our
highly geare6 industrial system is
a delicate and difficult problem.
1t calls for the utmost exertion of
whatever informed, expert ex-
perience there is.
This is an insurance problem.
AND there are men who know a
good deal about that and about
social security in this country.
The whole subject, however, has
fallen INTO the hands of politicians.
Men and women over IS have
votes, And everywhere politicians
are playing with this problem to
get the votes of the aged.
II ever there was what Mr..
Hoover called a case of playing
with human misery" this is one
IT must be conceded this is a
almcult problem to the admin
lstr;ation. 1t may be forced to
make unwiSe concessions.

And that is a rather important point.
For it goes back to one of the fundamen-
tails in the existing social organization.
What happens when that fundamental is
discarded can be seen today, in all its pris-
tine ugfiness, in the dictator-lands overseas.
There the belief in mans innate deeency
and intelligence has been discarded. Be-
cause it has been discarded, elaborate ma
chinery to make men think and act as their
leaders want them to think and act is re-
quired. For by an inexorabfel logic, once
you assume that your fellow man is not to

men or they won't follow you.
Your enemies are already spread
ing the tale that you fellows are
playing along with the other
party"
The anti-ring nominees swal-
lowed that bait-hook, line and
sinker. They began to holler for
party solidarity. Forgetting that
they had been nominated by peo-
pie opposed to the ring, they
loudly proclaimed that they had
settled differences between them
selves and ring and had kissed
and made up" In their enthusi-
asm to prove their fidelity to
their party, they attacked the mi
nor political party and urged that
their nominees be defeated in the
November election.
OF course that chatter did eX-
actly what the shrewd leaders of
the ring knew it would dot an
gered all persons who had assist
ed in nominating the anti-ring
candidates.
1t never pays to fight those old
political machines with trickery.
For they know all about trickery.
The only way to conduct re-
form movement is on the level
and abOve-board. If it cannot be
run that way there is no reason
for it. If trickery is to be en-
ployed by anybody it might as
well be by the old ring. Why
swap trickcry for tIickcry? Let
the people get the impression
that the reformcrs are no more
to be trusted than the .ringsters
and Il hey will rise in their wrath
and prefer the ringstcrs, who do
not pretend to have white wings.
Many 4 reform movement has
been discredited and defeated be-
cause its leaders played politics.
But" reformers have argued,
"you have got to fight the devil
with his own weaponsw Not so,
brothers, not so. The devil knows
more about the use of his weap-
ons than you do. Or he should.

This consideration would be
easier for the administration if
it had not itself been guilty of
using the old age pension system
as a financial football and of
introducing into it one of the
most grotesque schemes in public
finance ever known in the history
Of this country.
This is the plan to create a re-
serve Of AZ billion dollars ITO re-
lieve future generations of the
great load of social security" 1t
was the attacks on this plan which
led to, the consideration of the
subject by the so-called Advisory
Council on Social Security.
One of its recommendations, is
that pensions In the earlier
years of the system should be in
creased. Certainly the pensions
which are to be paid to those who
arrive at the retirement age be-
fore 1850 should be enlarged.
The council is said to be ready
to, recommend a change in the
exorbitant rates charged under
the act to employers and en-
ployes.
If the rates are continued until
1912 at the present level, nearly
five billion dollars will be COL
lected in excess of the needs of
the system. .-
There seems to be no reason
why the whole subject of the rates
should not be re-examined and
changed now to tighten the load
of employers and workers.
