made the trip have been women. We
hardly expect the bulk of those Mor-
lda-bound until after New Tear's day.
But after the 1st of January the rail
roads and the hotels will be busy,
rule the traffic Is not at Us best till
about the last of January. Those who
make It s rule to spend their winters
In the South like to spend the holidays
at home, no matter how cold It may
be. They desire to have s few days
for sleighing and a good taste of the
Northern snows before starting for the
PERSONAL.

A stock exchange has a perfectly le
gitimate function In a country's busi
ness mechanism. It Is n place where
market can hot on the Instant ascer
tained and the dally list of quotations
Is therefore universally consulted for
Information and guidance. If Mr. Law-
son's sensational performances are
merely the tactics of a conscienceless
raider who without warrsnt of fact or
reason assails values and hammers
down prices, then It would seem that
that the gentlemen who stand before
the country as the pillars of the vast
Investment structure owe It to their
own reputations and to the comfort
and security of the inventing public to
expose his baseless assertions. If on
the other hand the recent range of se
curity prices was reached through ma
nipulative processes quite unrelated to
earning power and actual value, If the
market was Indeed a house of cards,
then Mr. Law won is performing a pub
lic service, even though Incidentally
he may be lining his own pockets.
Ho long ns New York city maintains
a Ktock Exchange that Is open to such
raids os have caused the violent fluc
tuations of the past week, ambitions
that may anywhere be cherished to
make It the financial centre of the
world will be Justly ridiculed. A cen
tre Involves the Idea of balance and
stability. A financial centre Is a place
where movements snd changes should
be the the resultant of a multitude of
forces. Quoted prices In all its mar
kets should represent With an ap
proach to accuracy the world’s aver
age, the normal level.
The Time* has refused to publish
Mr. Lawson's advertisements. As a
Justifying measure for their
froift Its columns It Is sufficient to
thi£ The Times Is not that ktrd of
newspaper; those responelble for Its
character and contents do not care to
make that kind of newspaper. The
Times does not believe the chirr"*
which Mr. Lawsott rruk> s against
«ori.« of the great*»t corpcranona Jn
the country, corporations managed by
Hoards of Trustees Including many of
the chief men In the country, men In
whom the public boa entire confidence,
men who are the custodians of hun
dreds of millions of the people's sav
ings.' If The Times did believe Mr.
Lawson's charges It would print the
results, not In Its advertising columns,
but upon Its news pages, os Informa
