By Broa'dan Wall New York, Nov. 10. This week promises to see final decisions in three problems that have been wor rying the stock market. The first is! tti ,i 1 1 ii 'i cii tronli- thp vn-nnrl tHe labor ! situation, and the third the money market. It is unfortunate that the stock market has been forced to dis count the unfavorable factors in all three of these things at once. Any one of them would have been enough to test the backbone ot fhe strong est bull market that ever was devel oped. It is no wonder that the three combined have made the bull cam paigners .". bit sway'oacked. The important thing is that the market has not broken.

It was from their ranks that most of the boys came who won the war ln Europe. The big people will not be hurt. Wall street is suffering a gross injus tice because most of the speculation In the country is outside of the stock mar- j ket. whereas all of the restrictive me&s- . ures adopted by the federal reserve bank seems to be aimed at the stock market only. In the South there are millions of bales of cotton speculatively held away from the market in the hope of higher prices. There are millions of pounds of copper so held. Cotton and woolen cloth have been bought up by speculators in car load lots. Shoes and manufactured products of every kind and even food have been withheld from a free market by speculators. WALL STREET DEFENDED A Wall street banker the other day pointed to more than one million dollars thus tied up in speculation that had no relation Whatever to Wall , street. All of these commodity speculators can get all the funds they want and are treated as favored customers of the banks. But let some innocent clerk or doctor hoard five or ten shares of stock and he is immediately denounced .as a speculator and is robbed with a It) per cent money club.

The regular monthly report issued by the New York Federal Reserve bank j on business conditions for the month ! of October has been broadened to a more comprehensive description of the economic, commercial and financial situation. In the report to the federal reserve board the bank elaborates upon the present credit situation as follows: "The past 30 days comprise a period of great expansion of bank credit.

V; "Pain in several forms exists in na ture. It has two offices. One Is to awaken the sense of self-preservation, the other is to destroy the organism." Much a belief was expressed on Sun day morning by the Hev. George H. Pen nett, pastor of the Patton Methodist church, in the course of an address on "The Steadfastness of God." Ir. Ben nett said in part : "After the Creator had established the living kingdoms he pronounced his work 'very good.' The immutable pur pose of God was both wise and benefi cent, ln the world the good would out weigh the evil, thim proving the crea tion worthy of Its Creator. "The migratory instincts of the birds, the hibernating Instincts of many ani mals these, are unmistakable, tokens of God's good intentions toward his crea tures." "The agencies of nature have been so nicely balanced that the world has been peopled by a host of species in a real march of progress. Progress has been due to pain and in spit of it. Here is wisdom and beneficence. "When man appeared, coal and oil, deposited years before, were ready for his furnaces and Industries. The same is true of the precious and baser metals so needful in human life. God seemed to consider in advance the capacities and needs of man, and prepared for hia successful career. It fs a law of paleon tology. The first members of a species were perfect representatives of the spe cies. This is true of man. The first men were not bestial. They were en dowed with normal physical, mental and moral powers. They were neither sav age nor enlightened, but were capable of both. All depended on their taking . the way of progress, or of degradation. History shows a fall of man occurred, due to violating reason, instinct, con science and law. In the beginning God planned to do good and this is bis pur- pose still. He Is not willing any should perish, but that all should come to re pentance. . . "The Public and the Preps" was the subject of a lecture by Professor Colin Dyment of the University of Oregon de- partment of journalism, before the Church of our "Father evening forum Sunday. Dyment said that In a democracy the. protection of the source of public opin ion Is a matter of the first Importance. Whatever Influences public opinion will ultimately determine the course of gov ernment. "The chief molder of public opinion, aside from prejudice, Is the newspaper. Tet newspapers are to a large extent distrusted by their readers. For this mistrust the newspapers are partly to blame. In the past they have been vlo lently and unfairly partisan, and have sought sensation at th expense of truth, sometimes even printing stories entirely faked." ' The speaker did not believe that sd- I we nave plenty or laws capaoie oi dealing with any crisis. We ought to apply the laws we have, tempered with reason, without creating a maze of new laws difficult to understand." Thus spoke 1 r. A. A.

"The liquidation of government secur ities and paper which Is taking place in the banks of every section of the country has released much credit, but this credit has not been used to reduce borrowings at the Federal Reserve banks ; it has been promptly absorbed by the demands of production and dis tribution or by the speculation in se curities, commodities and real estate, which is proceeding actively in nearly every part pf the country.

I Seav-H-le The Psychological Effect of saving is that you are enabled to give your whole attention and best efforts to your work, for the fact that you have money in the bank relieves you from worry over loss of job or sickness. In other words, when you save regularly and systematically, and feel that you are getting some where, you can do more work, and a better grade of it. That is one reason why all em- ployers encourage ,the opening of bank accounts by their employes. They know it has a steadying ef fect; that the man who is saving is the one who has an incentive to do the best work possible. If ni have never .-;ivr'l. begin today.
