RELIGION PAYS ! WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20— | Years rest lightly on Senator Reed |Smoot, who on January 10, reach- ed the Biblical span of three scora ‘and ten. Hard work, now as iu his youth, |is his key to success, and his recipe for living is in the tenets of the Momon Church. | His virility—a sort of wiry, rug- !ged vigor—belies his years and his |“deanship” of the Senate through {unbroken service since March, 1903. He is recognized as keeping about the longest office hours of any member of Congress. “I have a right to demand such endurance,” he says. “I have lived in accordance with the principles of right living as taught by my relig- ion.” ‘There is a grim doggedness about the Senator—the result of mature ,decisions before taking a stand. | Thus his admonition to young |people is: “Make up your mind what you are going to do and work to attain it.” As a boy, fresh out of school, he first worked at sacking potatoes and fruit. Three years later he had made good his promise to be- |come manager. | - His father was a “rabid, irrecon- cilable Democrat of the Kentucky brand,” the Senator says — but young Reed became a Republican after study had convinced him that the protective tariff was essential to Utah and the nation—and that the Republican Party, standing for it, should be his party. Though a baseball catcher in |ealier days, the Senator now finds recreation in golf, but not to the disturbance of office hours. e Eurcpe Inhabited 30,000 Years ‘WASHINGTON, D.

In the event of such inquiry one thing seems , certain — that RICHARD wmiTnEY both stock ex- change cfficials and the investiga- tors emphatically and bitterly will iterate their opposition to bear raiding as distinguished from short- selling. Richard Whitney, president of the exchange, is a particular enemy of the bear raider, though he vig- crously defends short-selling as an economic necessity. Short ‘sellers simply sell a stock that they think is overvalued with the idea of buying in again, when the stock falls in a mormal way; the bear raider, on the other hand, dumps large volumes of stock with |the deliberate intention of forcing {a decline in an abnormal way. The exchange, Mr. Whitney points out, has taken drastic mea- sures to prevent short selling of a character designed to demoralize the market. Under the current pro- cedure short sales must be ' so marked as they go to the floor and execution of these orders is closely supervised. Mr. ‘Whitney defends normal short-selling as essential to a free and open market in that it provides a “cushion” of buying orders, and represents the opinion of informed men on the real value of a stock.
