general Government for the last forty
years, ws have prospered nnd pro
gressed materially beyond our most
hopeful dreams, under lha fostering
Influence of our Democratic Htnte nnd
municipal Governments. "Th* pro-
sumptuous claim that Republican pol
icies and Republican rule arc noces-
nary for tha development of th* South
are th* veriest rot.” enya Senator Ba
con. "Where in all time has there
ever hern such developments of' th*
wealth nnd reeourcee of a country na
there haa been In the South during th*
last forty year* of uninterrupted
Democratic rule?
"Who that turn, tho pagan that tall

thousands or million, of dollars, who
that passe, through our fruitful land

dan harvests, our warehouses and
herns bursting with the garnered cot-
inn nnd grain, our store, of merchan-
die* nnd myriad Industrie*, eta fully
the new applications of the old
principles insite necessary by the
new conditions.”
Whether tho President refers here
to Judge, who have aroused his dis
pleasure by ruling contrary to hla
wishes, we can not say. but It would
seem sc. for further on he declare*:
"Anything like frivolity or wan-
tonnras In upsetting clearly taken
governmental action la a grave of
fense agnlnst the republic. To
protest against tyranny, to pro
tect minorities from oppression, to
nullify an act committed In a
spasm of popular fury, la to ren
der n service to the republic. P.ut
for tho courts to arrogtito to them
selves functions which properly
belong to the legislative bodies la
all wrong, and In tho end works
mischief."
ft would almost seem that Mr.
Roosevelt haa chafed because he could
not remove the Judge* and Justices
who hnv* been guilty of tho "frivolity”
and "wnntonneae" of ruling contrary
to the Administration’* policies, for ho
adds:
’•When a President or a Gover
nor behave* Improperly or unwlst-
jy. the remedy le easy, for hla
term Is short; tho same Is true
with the legislator, although not
to the rams degree, for ho Is one
of the many who belong to some
given legislative body, and It la
therefore leas easy to tlx hts per
sonal responsibility and hold him
accountable ■ therefor. With a
judge, who, being human, Is also
likely to err, but whose tenure Is
for life, there la no almllar way of
holding him to responsibility.”
Dissatisfaction with tha court, and
th* law, as antiquated, as well as with
too many Judge, as "behind tho
times,” soeme to bo expressed In the
following;

mny be larger than usual: but. if tho
disposition to postpone purc hases con
tinues ar strong as at present, this
market will lack this important ele

of courts, upon the development in
business. Msanwhlle the speculative

DclAvan Smith, of th* Indianapolis
News.
tlon, yet cannot Ignore the fact that
the market la still In the Arm grip nf
thi most powerful and reeourcaful
manipulators the market haa ever seek.
These parties have held their sway
over since th* panto nnd were chiefly
responsible for ths rise following Mr.
Tafi's election. They hive been stead
ily feeding out stocks at evary oppor
tunity. and still seem determined and
able to maintain the market at the
present artlllclal level.
Cheap Monty an Aid.
Th* abundance and cheapness
money la a powerful aid to such pur
poses; In fact; present high prices are
largely Inflationary and the aequen-e
of a redundant currency. Tn addition
to these sources of strength there ts
the backing of many of our leading
hanker, and financial Institution* who
arc Interested In tne placement of
numerous new Issues. It Is a neces
sary part of their policy to keep the
market In condition favorable to the
absorption of those Issues, which will
amount to many million,. So long as
buslnssx continues to Improve and no
unfavorable developments occur. It :•
easy, therefore, to see why no reaction
comes. While buyers are scarce sell
er* ar* equally ao. and the market
would b* threatened with stagnatlnn
were It not for the operations of ths
big professional traders, who have been
the largest real buyers nnd arc In aomi
cases anxious to lighten their bur
den. NO doubt activity would be pro
moted nnd the techlncal situation much
Improved by a decline of 6 to 10 points.
This would bring In a now class of
buyers, eapeclally aa th* short Interest
Is Increasing, broaden the distribution
of stocks and revive the Investment
demand. But until the present lead
era step aside or unfavorable condl
Ilona develop. It ts useless to antldpit*
nny Important break In prices. Tho
Investor een, of oonrse, afford to wait
for batter opportunities, while the
speculator will have to be satlsfled
with the quick turn, and amall profits
which tha aotlvltlea of big traders may
offer.
Congress Affects Market But Little.
