Today High Finance Is Cheerful. r Politicians Are Busy. Is Trot iky Dead? I he Last Chapter. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. '>---/ Gentlemen that fix Wall Street’* “barometer of prosperity” felt bet ter about their barometer yester day. More than 700 corporations had Kent out dividend cheques. The cheques had flowed into out-of-tbwn banks, as brooks flowing to rivers find from the “country banks,” as high finance condescendingly calls them, the dividends had gone to big New York banks, as rivers flow to the ocean. “Call money,” with which stock gambling is done, dropped to 416 per cent, and men that sometimes know said, as though they really be lieved it: “The slump is over and the boom is coming back.” The trouble is that those optim ists know only sometimes and you can never be sure when they mean what they say. Anyhow, high finance chose to seem cheerful, and little people, who feed the ticker Minotaur, with their savings, were encouraged, and some “increased their commitments.” Then there was the reported pur chase of Dodge Brothers Motor company by Dillon, Rend & Co. after an alleged desperate struggle with Morgan & Co. as to which should get the prize. This purchase shows that there is some money left, for the Dodge concern must have cost more than 100 millions. Such a deal shows that somebody lias confidence in the future. The deal is most interesting as proof that there is opportunity for ability and honesty in this country. The Dodge builders, typical Ameri can builders, had both qualities, and in a few years buift up a con cern that would be dirt cheap at UflO millions. Politicians, like the big finan ciers, are busy and planning. With Mr. Coolidge only just settled in his seat, at least 50 republican can didates for 1928 are solemnly de ciding that Coolidge cannot run again “because that would be a third term” and would annoy George Washington. Presidedt Coolidge has been elected only once, and another term would be his second, but the would be candidates try to forget that. Democrats are working hard and prematurely hopefully, ns though they never had heard of the last two pluralities of 7,000,000 each against them. Judge Olvany, who succeeds Mr. Murphy as head of Tammany Hall, discovers that Governor Smith is the natural presidential candidate for the next time, and points out that with only a minority in the leg islature he has beaten the repub lican majority to a jelly. Judge Olvany evidently does not agree with the learned Will Rogers, in a recent speech. With the gov ernor, the judge and all the high men of Tammany listening, he said that Governor Smith’s chief handi cap in his candidacy would be Tam many Hall. Tammany or no Tammany, the ablest politicians beiieve that A1 Smith will be the next democratic candidate and that he has the best chance of getting real votes. Meanwhile, friends of Lochinvar McAdoo have sent out from the west a call for a McAdoo support ers’ conference on April 13, too; at Kansas City. Franklin D. Roosevelt, chief A1 Smith supporter, has just asked for complete party harmony, and Mc Adoo throws a tomahawk at him. London hears from Moscow that Trotzky is dead, murdered by order of his enemy, Zinovieff. Another report says that Trotzky has fled from his villa in the Caucasus, where he took refuge from his enemies. If the czar looks down or up, ns the earth whirls round, and sees Lenin's body lying, embalmed, in state, and Trotzky murdered and thrown in some ditch, he probably concludes that everything comes out all right. The killing of Trotzky, of which there is no proof, would he in ac cordance with revolutionary precedent. In the big French up heaval Danton passed under the guillotine blade, first of the great leaders; then Robespierre, who had ordered Danton’s execution; then came Marat, killed by a woman, and then Napoleon, who showed the world how *o kill on a really big scale. When will the Russian Napoleon appear, and complete the revolu tionary turnover? Young men that perhaps envied and admired young Wood, son of General Wood, when he was gam bling and winning in Wall street, and envied and wondered more, as they read the usual lies about his tremendous gambling profits in Europe, should not miss the last chapter of the story. It came with young Wood's re turn to this country, in reply to a reporter’s question. “Yes,” said Wood, “I made If in speculation, but what a jackass I was to go and lose it all.” That's the kind of a jackass that gambling usually produces. Take warning against stocks, horse races, cards or get-rich-quick schemes. There is a little new war cloud in Europe. Poland and Russia agreed to exchange political pris oners, Russians for Poles. On their way to the Polish frontier, two of the Russian prisoners, prominent bolshevists, were murdered by Polish police, and Russia objects. There is talk of Russia killing her Polish hostages. But that prob ably won't happen. War could hap pen, however, and France would j be in it immediately, by agreement with Poland. Whatf in that case, would this country do? It’s a question im portant to our profiteering patriots of the late war. It's several years since they had a real chance to show their patriotism, on a “cost plus” basis. (Copyrlglif. 1925.)

All-wool is an overworked term, and too often it H ^ is applied to "shoddy” or renewed woolens—wool that has been used in cloth before. Usually it’s a poor-serving article, unre liable and short-lived. But all virgin wool means 100% pura wool—wool that has not been tampered with before it was made j into fine, sturdy, long-wearing fabrics. ~rou’ll get all virgin wool fabrics in the fine new Kirschbaum Spring Suits—along with superb style and skillful tailoring, at M , I moderate prices that hardly seem possible for so much quality.
