sion of feeling stage. The Presbyterian general assemlrly In session at Columbus, Ohio, has recommended the appointment of a committee in each presbytery "to promote the movement for Sabbath observance; urging ministers to discourage funerals on the Sabbath; disapproving sports, excursions, and other secular vses of the Sabbath; urging the omission of Monday recitations in seminaries and colleges so as to aid students in observing the Sabbath; favoring a Saturday half holiday for all workers, and condemning Sunday newspapers." To use a colloquial phrase, this is the limit, as it is hardly probable that the Presbyterian, or any other general assembly will ask to enjoin persons from dying on the Sabbath.
"GAS" ADDICKS. the demon of finance, who persistently aspired to the honor of a senatorship from Deleware, is now a fugitive from his creditors, who include the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. He is called upon by the courts to pungle up $330,000 with accumulated interest, which sum he squeezed out of the Bay State Ga3 company of which he was president. Addicks was one of the most
picturesque, and at the same time, the
most impossible figures in crooked
politics and frenzied finance.

"BAD BOY" AND "TEACHES." The case of the "bad boy" who has disrupted the Whiting schools and lndirecfty caused the discharge of on teacher, may not be exactly to the point, but It calls to mind the cases of other bad boys, which are. There is no doubt that in towns like Whiting, Hammond and East Chicago where the population is largely foreign, made up of thrifty individuals to whom a dollar bill in the hand looks a great deal better than a university education in the bush, the teachers In tbe public schools are up against a proposition the animus of which even they, who have to cope with it, may not always fully realize. That is the systematic brow-beating on the part of the boys, which Is not only winked at by the parents of the said boys, but actually encouraged In some cases. And for thrifty reasons. ... There is many a parent in this city and surrounding towns whose chief aim In life Is to acquire the almighty dollar
at' whatever sacrifice. What people of
this class want is property. And every member of the family, from the baby scarcely more than old enough to toddle, to the father and mother are pressed into the service. When the children lirrlve at an age where they are capable of earning from two to three dollars a week, it is to the factory for them. Their parents cannot see the point in keeping them in school any longer. . But here is where they find the laws an Impediment to their plans for hoarding money. If the children are taken out of school before they are fourteen, there Is the truant officer to reckon with. The only thing to do then is for the youngster of wage earning possibilities to make himself so ob
noxious a pest to his teachers that they
are glad to rid the school of his presence. Some times his teachers are an
noyed to the point or giving the young
villain a much needed "licking." This
Is Just what the parent are looking for.
for this they not only have the teacher's authority for keeping their boy out of school after his dismissal, but they have
a "case" against the board of educa
tion.
THE POLICE say that Hammond au
tomobile enthusiasts set a bad example to the visiting brethren by exoeed-

A .woman appeared in a window along the line of march with a red

The woman was loudly cheered by the
passing "socialists." '
It is also to be observed that a large percentage of those who took part in the parado were foreigners of the Ignorant
type. These people come to this coun try to share with Americans thei
boundless prosperity. There seems to
be no thankfulness in their hearts
because they, as undesirable as they are, were admitted to this splendid

NEW YORK IETTEB. j New York, May 20. The stock mar
ket displayed the same Inherent weakness which has been in evidence during
he latter part of the previous week.
Prices of all the standard shares
howed declines averaging from two
o lour points wun Lmon runin-, ou
aul, the Hill shares and Atchison the
weakest features.
The drastic measures adopted against
the Standard Oil company and the pos-
ibilities of prosecutions by the govern
ment against the above mentioned raii-
oads for their failure to comply with
the anti-trust act is ascribed as tne principal cause of the selling. Fears of gold exports caused renewed selling
n the last half hour of the session
which dragged the market down to the
lowest prices of the day closing every stock on the list weak with losses compared with Saturday's closing figures.
Industrial stocks felt the depression
as much as the railroad shares. Copper declined from 94 to 91; Anaconda
from 62 to 61; Sugar from 124 to
12214.
Although trade conditions are all
that could be desired in the copper
world, yet the fear that the metal market must recede the same as other markets has induced considerable liquida
tion. That prices are due for a long
steady slow decline seems to be me opinion of some good judges.

One of the original ideas advanced to explain the strength of Amalgamated Copper In the early trading Saturday in contrast with the more or less reactionary tendency in other qartters was to the effect that a concerted movement Is about to be instituted to advance copper stocks and make them attractive speculatively, so as to divert attention from the railroad issues which suffer either from past investigations, prospective Investigations, or present and prospective monetary requirements. No special foundation for any such rumor could be found and traders who
are interested In the copper stocks were
not inclined to pay any great attention
to this statement. It does not require
any particular roundatlon for such ru
mors to obtain a ready circulation,
particularly if there i3 any element of plausibility in their make-up. Some
traders thought it might be a good strategic move, but others pointed out, with the present limited trading in any of the stocks there was no especial rea
son for strategy. New York Times.

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, May 20. WHEAT A rush to buy wheat at the opening caused an advance of about three cents over Saturday's rrlce. The early prices, how-
.vor. were the highest of the day. The
market began to show symptoms of large profits taking by those who were fortunate enough to buy wheat on the break Saturday. Despite all the bullish news which was in circulation, prices
.i.ytnA oVi.-nt a. rent and a half after
the opening flurry. Reports from Kansas and Nebraska contained the usual
quota of green bug damage stories, but thev were not accompanied with as
K,,iHncr nrders as formerly. The
dav was rather tame after the ex
i(omnf f r-ist week although the
market continues very nervous and sub
1ect to violent changes upon any large
transactions.
CORN Higher early in sympathy
with the advance in wheat, but later receded caused mainly by selling of the .Tnlv nn.l Sentember options by cash
houses against cash purchases. Of
ferings from the country are reported more liberal than the previous week. Reeeints are increasing slightly. The
speculative market closed without any particular feature. OATS A range of a cent a bushel with the longs large sellers at the advance to take profits was the feature In this pit. A few scattered damage reports from the west and southwest caused an earlv flurry in the market.

Baltimore & Ohio, especially the former, was the result of a revival of rumors of prospective new financing. The

the fact that Union Pacific, Southern

Bullish wheat markets and the unfavorable crop reports have a depressing effect on stocks, but this Is more artificial than real, for it is a question whether there has been much actual liquidation on this account. Last year the railroads were confronted by traffic difficulties seldom met with, on account of scarcity of equipment and immense amount of traffic offering. Operations were carried on under most uneconomical conditions, yet a fine showing waa made. Now, the fact that there will not be enough wheat to haul is advanced as a powerful bear argu
ment on railway shares. We do not asrree with this view, and as yet see no
danger in the situation. General pros
perity will scarcely be afiected by any development that has taken place thus far in the agricultural regions. Busi
ness has been hurt by unseasonable
weather, but this is looked upon by some shrewd observers as a blessing in
disguise. For iron, steel and copper and the vast majority of manufactured products there is a satisfying demand and the outlook promises well. The
good rails not involved in further
heavy financing should be brought on
recessions, especially the Harrlman and Hill issues, St. Paul, Atchison, Penn
sylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Reading,
Louisville and Atlantic Coast Line.
Copper, steel and sugar may also be
bou2ht for turns on breaks."
WITH THE EDITORS
The reclamation of swamp land3 as . i i .
a national enterprise is aavocatea uy Herbert M. Wilson of the United States
geological survey in the May issue of
the Geographic Magazine.
Naturally he cites the success of the
government In reclamation of arid lands by Irrigation aa a precedent and
argument for federal ditching and draining The reclamation service esti
mates that in the next twenty-five years an area of 12,000,000 acres may
be redeemed by Irrigation. Mr. Wii
son claims that a much greater area
may be rescued from the swamps, pro
vided the drainage works were under
taken by the government with vigor
equal to that devoted to Irrigation re
clamation.
In the United States are over 60,000,000 acres of swamp or overflow iand3.
If it were possible to reclaim by drain
age 25,000,000 acres of these swamps.
sav3 Mr. Wilson, the land values of the
country would be increased by more than $2,S00,000,000. and crop values by
equal than $750,000,000.
A swamp area of special Interest to
Chicago is the Kankakee marshes,
which cover about one-half million
acres distributed over seven counties in northern Indiana. "The nwampy condi
tion of the Kankakee valley." eays Mr.
Wilson, "is due to a slight fall in th
valley and the extremely crooked en! tortuous channel of the river. Between its source and the Illinois state !ln the direct distance is seventy-five miles, whereas the stream flows a distance of 240 miles. In the course of which it makes at lesst 2,000 bends. The difference in elevation between these two points is but ninety-feven feet, or a fall of 1.2 feet per mile." Something bts been done by private enterprise and state authority to reclaim the Kankakee marshes. Soma years ago the state of Indiana purchased lands in Illinois that It might have the legal right to remove a sort of natural dam in the Kankakee, nni thus promote the drainage of overflowed lands along the stream above. "It ia probable," says Mr. Wilson "that a complete topographic and draining map of the entire area, not only of the Kankakee valley but of the neighboring uplands and basins of the Wabash and its northern tributaries, would develop drainage postiblilties superior to those found within the Kankakee valley alone."
