Houston rankea sixtn among. American cities for the value of the building for which permits were issued in March of this year. This is a boost from tenth place in March 1927 and si teenth place in March 1928. Fort' Worth, Texas, rose from 24th place ju March 1927 to eleventh place in March 1928, The five cities that led Houston, New York, Chicago, Detroit and Los . Angeles, in the order named, have held the same rank in March for the last three years. Seattle has passed San Francisco in the of building permits this year for the fi time. She ranks twelfth among American cities while San Francisco is thirteenth. 1In spite of the de- crease in building operations at San Francisco she leads Cleveland and St. Louis, both larger cities, The circumstance Mexas towns have with Houston would value that Fort Worth and other shared the building boom indicate that it is Texas rather than the Democratic National Convention that is doing the boosting down there. On the other hand, it would indicate that the location of the convention there has not hurt things, HIRD PARTY.” In an editorial in which it contends there is no need for a “Third Party” in United States, the Cincinnati Enquirer says: A third party, first of all, attracts every vociferous political mountebank who practices dissatisfaction as a pro- fession. It offers haven to the con- siderable body of citizens who, dis- gruntled, criticize most freely and most unconstructively, It immediately becomes a favorite playground for demagogues, who somehow or other always succeed in shouting down those who sincerely desire reform. Ish’t that a good statement of the need for ‘'@ “Third Party?” Think of what it would mean for the *““Old Parties” to get all these mounte- banks and disgruntled practitioners of dissatis- faction into single playground where they wounld not be organizing bloes for the purpose of formulating the rules of the games! Of course there is the danger that iveurgents in one or Doth of the “Old Parties” would try to force an alllance with the “Third Party” in order to carry an election. That might cause some trouble. But it really seems that the “Old Parties” would profit from an abundant experience and let the vociferous outfit chew up their own under- pinnings, in which case the isolation might have a quieting effect. THE NEED OF that the a IT STILL LOOKS LIKE leTH AND HOOVER As more and more delegates are selected for the National conventions $n primaries and con- ventions it becomes more and more apparent that Gov. Smith and Secretary Hoover will be the candidates of the Democratic and Republican parties for the Presidency. Gov.

(New York World.) There have been many surprising and puzzling things about the recent stock market, and one of the most surprising has been the violent rise in prices in the face of a large outflow of gold. During March approximately $100,000,000 in gold was exporied. As gold leaves the country it Il:l'lllr”\ tends to reduce the basis for bank ind last month as the shipment of gold ed bank loans both for commercial pur- poses and for stock speculation were also rapidly nding. This looked like a using up of credit from both ends at once, and it seemed foreshadow the approach of higher money Yet there was no visible effect of this on the price of securities. The stock market has continually moved upward. A partial explanation for the small effect of gold exports is given in the latest monthly bulle- tin of the Federal R ve Board, which points out that a substantial portion of the outflow consisted of gold which had previously been ear- marked for foreign countries and therefore in- volved no current draft on the credit resources of this countr This, howe eries of the reserves to rates. , does not wholly clear present market. The been steadily losing gold since last Septem- ber, and the stock on hand, though more than ample for ordinary business requirements, less than at any time within the past four years. So far the stock market has paid no attention this loss. For the time being it appears to have become a law unto itself, and the most experienced traders in Wall Street have aband- oned any attempts to explain its persistent advance, up the country to About “Unfit Women.” (Cineinnati learned doctor, not only in medicine, but it one believes in titles, declared number of McCall's Magazine that women are eminently unfit for service on juries. And then the learned megic proceeds to set forth his rea- sons for his rash statement by saying: Women make snap ihtultive judg- ments, based entirely upon their emo- tional outlook, and then justify them afterwards. Women can judging other men, their judgment prompted by their emotional apart from reasoned proof of innocence. Forming quick ments is precisely does. For argument, thought, deduction or pure reasoning, she cares practically nothing. fivery woman is envious and jealous of every other woman. Lo, a Daniel has come to judgment in the person of Dr. Bisch, if one will be beguiled with his faulty logic. Also he was unhappy in his choice of diction when he used the word, ‘“vie- ious"” in referring to women. He has set him- self up in judgment of his sisters, and it does not require the understanding of a Solomon to be aware of the fact that he wields rather a “vicious” pen himself. 1In fact, it would seem that he dipped it into a Vesuvius of vitrol be- fore writing the above philippic, and spread it all over several columns before it ran out.

And yet, little or nothing is being done at Washington. There is a possibility that the Gillett reso- lution, now being discussed in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, may precipitate debate dur- ing this session of Congress. But the possi- bility is not exactly stronzi' Two years ago the Senate ratified a World Court protocol. There were, however, five reser- vations tacked on. One of these reservations, dealing with advisory opinions, met with the opposition of most of the governments which are members of the court. The Senate, of course, remained adamant. And President Coolidge made not the slightest effort to ascertain whether the points of disagreement could be ironed out to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. Now that peace is being widely dis- cussed, the moment would seem opportune for a further exchange of opinion on this important issue. It is an obligation which the Administra- tion cannot honestly dodge.
