(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Sun Shines Through Piercing the gloom which hasruled America for the last two years, the sun of optimism seems at last to have lifted above the horizon. Most important of the evidences of its warming action are the grain and commodity markets of the nation, particularly the former. The wheat and corn pits at Chi- cago have been active the last month and, after a slow and hesitating start, prices have moved definitely upward. ‘The trend has been continued long enough now for it to be considered as more than a mere flash of hope; more than a mere gesture toward a brighter outlook. Following this trend, the stock market, another important business’ barometer, has improved until now it, is regarded by the experts as being) in another important “testing area.” ‘The inference is that, if the business: spirit of the nation can get over the next hump, a forward movement is at hand. The reasons for the change in sen- timent are many and varied. Some of them are definite and coricrete. Others are problématical and specu- lative and still others are wholly spir- itual. In the “markets,” the answer seems to be that the profit has gone out of! being a “bear.” The men who were “short” of grain commitments a month ago have since paid for their error in judgment. They have been hit severely and they are more cau- tious now than they were when the uninterrupted direction of the mar- kets was downward and gloom ob- scured everything. Other commodity prices have shown ®& disposition to follow cereals. In its review of business for the week end- ing October 31, Duns Usted 25 price advances as against nine for the Similar period in 1930 and 28 price declines as against 42 for the same week a year ago. Since the markets! have been bobbing along on about. even terms for the last month or 60, this movement may be considered as of some significance. If it continues ‘{t will be all important. It is a curious thing that, as long 8s prices are going down, orders are ecarce and for small quantities. Mer- chants face the possibility that, if they order a large quantity today, their competitors may order at a low- er price tomorrow and undersell them. Hence buying has been on a hand-to-mouth basis and the whole tendency has been to beat prices downward, But when the basic markets move upward and show a definite trend in that direction, the whole order is re- : versed. The tendency is to buy in quantity before prices go higher. ‘These substantial orders have the ef- fect of still further hardening and increasing the price and so the na- tion heads for better business which, in this country, means the rapia turn-over of dollars in circulation, On the spiritual side, the returning sun of optimism has the effect of in- creasing confidence, thus thawing out idle dollars and encouraging peo- ple to put them to work. This na- tion needs a tremendous number of things if arrangements can be made to put them in the hands of the peo- ple for use and to give those people opportunity to labor that they may pay for them. General confidence will help to turn the trick. We have been in @ spiritual depression as well as a business one. The morale of the People of the country has been low. But many now are getting a new grip on themselves and are taking a new attitude toward their business Problems. Many sound executives have put their affairs in order and are striving to take advantage of every break which seems to offer bet- ter times. They are seeking an an- swer to an imperative need. They are finding it. Peculiarly enough, credits are tighter now than at any previous pe- tiod during the slump, which now seems to be ending, For months the financis] markets offered “cheap” _, Money, largely because of a fictitious 1 situation in which plenty of oral was available for those who could give such gilt-edged security they did not really need it. But that situation recently was changed. The federal reserve bank relaxed its chaperonage over this phase of the financial market and the interest rate rose. It was merely the elimination of another artificial con- dition and thg business community has responded favorably to the in- creased freedom which the change presents. This situation is reflected by the fact that Burleigh county, offering short-time warrants, failed to get a bid. A year ago takers would have been numerous but the prospect now is that money can be more profitably employed in the near future in other ways than by investment in low-in- terest-bearing securities. Any resume of the situation would be incomplete without emphasizing the fact that the profit scems to have gone out of being a “bear.” As jong as money could be made by de- pressing the prices of commodities and securities, persons with money were interested in doing just that. - But in recent weeks these individu- als have had their fingers burned. Those in the grain markets were scorched severely. The strength al- ready shown will make these folks slow to apply heavy pressure again. It is not to be expected that the sun which has shone brightly the last few days will not be obscured by clouds in the future. Setbacks are sure to come. The course to prosper- ity, like that to true love, never runs very smoothly. The encouraging thing is that the “stop” sign has been relegated to | secondary position, if not scrapped entirely, and that business seems to be on the up grade. ‘Fixing’ Sports The autumn football season has not brought forward anything much funnier than the apparent revelation that someone tried to “fix” the Min- nesota-Wisconsin football game.

Big league baseball once suffered from them. Wrestling has been under ea shadow for years. There are plenty of un- Savory rumors about boxing. Horse racing is in a similar class. But no one who ever knew a col- lege football player would dream of trying to corrupt a college football game. Those boys aren't playing for money or for fame. The spirit that sends them out on the field is in- tangible, hard to explaih—and eter- nally beyond the reach of the fixer. If someone really did try to pro- mote crookedness in that game, he must have been a singularly stupid sort of person. Editorial Comment I Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. ‘They are published without to whether they agree or dis with The Tribune's policies. The Philippines (New York World:Telegram) Unless the administration is very careful it will force unwise Philip- pine legislation at the next. session | of congress. By a policy of inaction it may throw control of Philippine legislation into the hands of Ameri- cans who have only selfish interests to serve. President Hoover's statement on! this subject. was very vague. Does’ he hope to get by with the old Hard-| ing and Coolidge policy of evasion and delay? There never was anything to com-/| pees such a policy. There is less to- i ay. For the question no longer is ac- tion by congress or no action by con-| gress. The question now is:—What kind of action by congress? | The chairman of the House and Senate Insular Affaits conithittee agreed in predicting some action by congress at the coming session. The Prediction checks with the informa-! tion of the press and of the Filipino leaders, What kind of action by congress?

That would hurt the Filipino people economi-| cally. We believe the Filipinos, or any other subject people, have an in- alienable right to political independ- ence if and when they want it. But we have good reason to believe that, the Filipino leaders do not want im- mediate independence. They would take immediate independence rather} than go on with the present unsatis- factory status. But what they really prefer is something like a 10-year transitional period of home rule over internal af-j fairs, followed by a plebiscite to! choose between continued home rule or complete independence. | ‘That is a reasonable proposition. 11! would prevent the abrupt severance | of close economic bonds; it would ai-' low time to prepare for a modifica-| tion or abolition of free trade between | the two countries; and it would give! the Filipinos a chance to grow expe-' rienced in self-government. If, during the transitional period, the United States treated the Fili- pinos intelligently it is possible that the plebiscite 10 years hence would choose a continuance of home rule rather than complete independence. | The Filipinos might not wish to sac- rifice the free market for 72 per cent of their goods which they now have in the United States. | The present status is evil because! not the Filipinos, nor American cap!: tal; nor any one, can plam’for the fu-/ ture.

With a second turn of the wrist he turned off the lights. Then he turned and drew her to air of complete possession. Surprise mingled with the ardor with which she returned his long kiss. Presently she asked curiously, “What did you want to talk about?” “This,” he said, and she heard him chuckle, “What?” “And something else. Listen. soon can you get ready to be married?” This was surprise. “Why, I haven't bought anything yet,” she stammered, “but there's lots of time, isn’t there? A month, surely. It was 66 days the last time “No, ob, no.” “Well, that’s that, then. How's Saturday? That give you time to shop?” Mary nodded. It was a long time before they felt the need of words, “That's—what I've been wanting to tell you, all evenini whispered, presently. “ needn't quarrel-any more, I won't see that newspaperman again, if you don’t want me to.” Dirk felt magnanimous, too, ap- parently, for he laughed indulgent- ly and kissed her, “I guess Mrs, Dirk Ruyther can be trusted to do the right thing,” he said. It was nearly two when Mary’s latchkey turned in the lock and she let herself into the great house and went happily upstairs, Strange, she wasn’t tired now! Instead, she seemed to bounce, feather-light, up the long staircase; she felt far too happy to sleep. There was a dim light burning in her room, and a note left for her by the thoughtful Della, More thought- ful than literate, for the note was difficult to decipher. “LI stayd up to tell you Mr. Jupi- ter wants to see you in the morning he is sorry for something and wunts to appolagize I do know what for.” The world had been all wrong, and now it was right again in every way. For pure happiness, Mary whirled around the room in an im- promptu dance before tumbling into bed. As she drifted off to sleep the letters of the word “Saturday” seemed to burn upon the walls of her mind like a gigantic electric sign. . oe rpaEy both felt better after Mr. Jupiter had “appolagized” next morning. “I was aorty for that the minute Yd sald it, Mary,” he scolded. “You hadn’t ought to take what an old man like me says to heart 80.” “I guess—that one thing—is a kind of sore spot with me,” Mary explained. “Whatever Eddie did or didn’t do, I feel responsible for, at I counted, but lately I haven't kept track.” Dirk smoothed her hands gently with his big one. “I mean, how long would it take you to pack?” “Dirk “You could pack a toothbrush, couldn't you? And we could buy things here and there as we went along? There are lots of nice little shops for women’s gewgaws in Ber- muda—or would you rather go to Europe? We could make it—if we didn’t stay too long.” “But what's the hurry?” Mary's heart was hammering happily be- fore the look in his eyes. “Let's get married tomorrow. I don't know why we've waited this long, if it comes to that.” “Well, aren't you the impetuous lover!” Mary quavered, trying to keep a light tone. “Why this, all of a sudden?” Dirk moved impatiently. “Ob, people have hacked at us long enough!” he growled. “If they keep at it much longer, they'll spoil things for us. Look at tonight.” Reviewing the miserable evening she had just spent, Mary thought there might be something in what he said. He seized her hands and gripped them tightly, “If we've got to quarrel, let it come after. I don't want it to spoil the beginning for us; Do you?* “otisibeg seit least partly. So I couldn't let any- one call him a murderer when it isn’t the truth!” Surprisingly, she noticed the old man's eyes were wet. His lined face looked 10 years older. “I'll bet I've thought the same a hundred times, since,” he said, in & broken voice, “You know he came to me for money, I suppose?” Mary nodded, in embarrassment. “If I hadn't of lit into him the way I did, he might not have—” he broke off hastily, and substituted, “every- thing might have been all right. So you see, I've got my share to think on, same as you have.” This humility was so new to the old man’s manner that Mary could hardly credit her senses. It made it easier for her to know that he blamed himself, too. “Well—forgive and forget. That’s all we can do.” “Oh, I can forgive,” Mary assured him, earnestly, “but I can’t forget —not till I've found out the truth.” “Well, bless you, child, I won't stop you. Go ahead. But if you run afoul of Emily Ann Ruyther, don't say I didn’t warn you.” Mary laughed and snapped ‘her fingers, “Oh, that for Emily Ann! Dirk’s all that matters, and he's going to help me—he told me so last night.” At the recollection of what else he had told her last night, her eyes were starry and her lips smiled irrepressibly, “Everything all right between you, eh?” Mr, Jupiter was an ex- gellent observer, and he saw bis answer written in hér face, “That's good.” Stabbing her grapefruit thought- fully, Mary wondered whether she ought to tell him of her plans. In a way, it was like “giving notice” —but then she wasn’t employed here any more, really. At least, her only duties seemed to be play- ing cribbage, and writing a few notes saying that Mr. Jupiter was sorry but he would be unable to tend, etc. Her salary was still paid regularly every week. Mr. Jupiter had insisted on that, since she was staying on merely to please him, But somehow she had a feeling that it might be bad luck to speak of it to a third person, just yet. The idea that she was to be married Saturday—tomorrow—was 50 new, so thrillingly imminent, that she ‘was not used to it yet herself. . She would be sorry to leave, for all the grief she had known here, “I suppose you haven't heard any more from Mr. Bruce?” she asked, eee THE old man’s face clouded, Mary instantly regretting having brought up the subject. He put down his spoon, apparently aban- doning his breakfast, “Not—a—line,” he said slowly, lapsing into the weak, hoarse voice he had used ever since his wife's death. It was strange how quickly he seemed to change personalities lately. When his mind was taken off his troubles.he seemed vigorous, stalwart, every inch the forceful man of business, Whenever he thougit of his dead wife or his ab- sent son, he seemed to shrivel with age. His very voice became weak and querulous, and he had the look of a dying man. Mary thought “I wonder if 1 ought to talk to Dr. Jordan about him before I go away.” Responsi- bility tugged at the wings of her happiness, She must go—she had given Dirk her word. Some one could be found to take her place and keep him amused until Bruce came, That was another strange thing, What on earth could be keeping Bruce? She considered sending him a cablegram herself, stressing his father’s ill health. But if his mother’s death did not bring him, could anything else be expected to? Once more she dis- missed the matter as something that did not concern her, and turned her thoughts to her own affairs, She ought to go about her shop- ping at once, if she expected to finish today. She had a few hun- dred dollars in the bank—it would be enough, Time was the import- ant thing. Mr. Jupiter was still staring at the tablecloth, fingering ible and stern to bear. “What would you like to do this morning?” Mary heard herself ask- ing faintly, and could have boxed tings—heavens, she couldn't nearly ed until this afternoon— him, those who drove his automobiles.

(Bessie had been released to pur+ sue the sort of histrionic career for which she seemed to think herself fitted.) Mary fumbled it open with one hand while holding fast'to the re © ceiver with the other. When she finally held up the crisp bit of pa- per it contained and saw the figure —$1000—and the signature, J.

Such munificence rather dashed his own pleasure in tt over his world- ly goods to his bride-to-be. “What are you going to do with it?” “Bank it.” “You will not!” “Buy clothes,” she amended hap- pily, “And then buy some clothes. And then buy a few more clothes.” “That's better. Lunch with me?” “Oh, I won't have time, We'd dawdle and I’ve so much to get!” “Better come. I'll be working late at the office, putting things in shape so I can leave. I may not get out until quite late.” “But you'll come?” “I'll come! Wait up for me?” “You know I will.” She was to regret that decision about lunch, e sat sipping a lukewarm, too-sweet drink at a crowded fountain after a hectic morning's shopping.

Her feet hurt, ber head ached, and she felt as if her eyes would never quite focus again. And there was more to come. At five she hailed the first taxi she saw, piled it full of bundles and climbed in gratefully. “Long Island,” she told the driver and sank back against the hard leather seat. She closed her eyes as the cab wormed its way crosstown toward Queensboro bridge. That state of complete relaxation spared her the brunt of what followed. All she remembered afterward was hearing a yell and @ curse, and feeling herself jerked violently forward as the taxi swerved and careened wildly to the sidewalk, ; striking a flight of stone steps.
