against cbscure dealers in non-essential fabrics and spring millinery, but there lias been no port of action instituted against the pirates who prey off th cost of food and fu?!. Apparently they carry with them letters of marque and reprisal issued by our benign and gracious sovereign, Wcorlrow the First.

THE TRUTH AEOUT THE BONDS. Fcretary of the Treasury Houston says that Liberty Bcnd3 would not b so low now but for the sale of these securities by -small holders. According to his log!?, those who Btlll hold their bonds must suffer becausothers sold theirs. The Lafayette Journal takes no stock ia ibis guff and says that thoso who went through, some four cr five strenuous Liberty Bond campaigns, ponying up their savings until it hart, cheerfully paying lOOi cents on the dollar to help their government ia it J .need, can

remember no stipulation that having boughta 5100 bond t

they should not sell it, But they do remember that they wore told at every street corner that the bonXwculd always be worn $100 and that it would bn just is good as a savings bank deposit bet tefv because la most cases it drew 4 1-2 pe rcent interest. They know; tod.Jhrit, even adding the interest they have received, during th past year or two, third bond today will -not bring the face value of the money they paid Uncle Sam for it. It is not true that the cause of thr low price of Liberty Bonds is their sale by small holders alone. The big holders have dropped huge quantities of these securities on the market. These depressed the price much more than the flt iblets thrown in by the iittla fellows. Big cap't.Msts who held parts of their surpluses in Liberty " -jonds found it easier to finance this, that and the other thing with their United States securities than by going into the market and pay 6, 7 and 8 per cent for money. This recent fall in Liberties for example, the dumping by General Motors alone of twenty-eight minion dollars' worth cf Liberty Bonds. ,...v , ... , ... ,

INFLUENCE ON BETTING ODDS. "Wall street abhors speculative inactivity as nature does a vacuum. Just now The Street is experiencing one of the dullest periods of the year in it3 regular line of tusiness. The public has suddenly abandoned the game of guessing the course of stock values and backing Its guess with cold cash. Hence, professional traders are puttli:? in some of their spare time and surplus money in guessing the chances of presidential candidates instead of the Huctuatiucs in securities listed on the exchange. The influence exerted by betting odds on men of average intelligence is truly remarkable. At least this is a permissible deduction from the fact that this kind of propaganda has heen winked at if net encouraged in times past by astute politicians on the eve cf elections as well as of nominations, (iam'jllng on eventualities of this sort, which involve the reading of the mental processes of thousands if not million of individuals, is more hazardous than guessing the stoelc market game; but possibly the dyspeptic Carlyla wa not far wrong when he declared that man is the "curiouscst animal" in the universe. Certainly Wall street cannot hope to lnf!uene,- th? election In November by its betting odds, any more than it influenced the result cf the Chicago convention.

"THIS VULGAR COUNTIIY.'V " One's first impulse on reading th.it thvr;:'andson of a distinguished American statesman wants his children sent to Europe "to acquire a iittlft of th "gloss" they will not acquire in this vulgar country" is to exclaim. "The contemptible snob:" lAnd. after a calm, dispassionate inquiry into the subject, and a studied effort to determine in what particulars America is vulgar nnd Europe not vulgar, cne tin. Is the original impulse recurring. One of the commonest, statements made in connection with the charge that Americans Bra vulgar $3 that they are greatly concerned vib. the pursuit ot"the almighty dollar." Now let us consider the Europeans who probably would be regarded ns having tfcd most polish that "gloss" not to be acquired in "this vulgar country." First, there aro those who cccnpr a supposedly superior status -'in the matter of birth and breeding Tte aristocrats of the nobility.
