Press. Published Publishing Co, United The Star Member of Daily by ~ The Voice of Morgan } Watch the short session Wall street will watch it, never fear, For Wall street has been yearning for this particular short session for many a month, Wall street counts on the short session to yield it a rich legislative harvest. It behooves the people to watch the short session, too. It may be that they can blight that harvest IAt worst, they can mark for the long-remembering knife such congressmen as may lend aid to Wall street while the short ses- pion harvest is being garnered This harvest that Wall street counts upon so confidently Is the repeal or amendment of the Sherman anti-trust law. Last spring the Washington correspondent of The predicted that a democratic landslide would be followed by an : effort on the part of Morgan and the other Wall street captains q to secure the repeal of the Sherman law before the beginning ; pf the new congress. : The financial review of J. S. Bache & Co., the mouthpiece of Wall street, in its first issue following the election, said: “Three months stil] remain of dominant republican power. Two things should be done. A currency reform bill should be put through and the Sherman anti-trust act should bé amended.” f : It is as though the voice of J. Pierpont Morgan himself had spoken it. We are told plainly what Wall street expects of the Bhort session. Wall street counts on being able to swing the votes of the defeated republican congressmen. Wall street figures that these men will be in a sullen and reckless frame of mind, and thus ripe to throw the political game to the winds with one last fling. Certain it is that Wall street can make that fling worth heir while—if it means the pulling of the teeth of the Sherman i Ww. Watch the short session. Don't let it carry out the ex- pressed will of Wall street if you can help it. oe ar The Worst Boy in Town Tt was a cold fall day, and the water to the river was colder than the weather, when somebody's pet cat got into trouble. There is a bridge across the river. It rests on three skeleton- work piers. And the little black cat had during her nocturnal rambles climbed down to a stone foundation at the bottom of one of the bridge supports in the very middle of the river. The cat did not know enough to climb up the same way she went down, so she was marooned, and crying piteously. The Worst Boy in Town and several other boys were wandering along the river bank in search of adventure—as bad and good boys will—and they heard and saw the marooned pussy. And after a consultation, the Worst Boy in Town rolled up his ragged trousers and waded into the cold water and picked up the black cat in bis arms—and the foolish cat scratched him un mercifully because she seemed to think that he was golng to throw her into the water. But he did not. “Aw yer a big stiff!” he yelled back to one of his cronies who told him to drop the cat and let ber swim. “All cats can swim,” said the crony “Yer a big stiff!’ yelled the Worst Boy. tin’ in de creek in dis cold weather, I ain’s.” Which story, being true, may soften a heart somewhere which has become hardened against Worst Boys, for Worst Boys often de velop into Great and Good Meo. “1 ain't rowin’ nut PROF.
