HE indictment of Robert C. Wood on the charge of having 60- licited a bribe while he was a Public Service Commissioner of this district is another important result, from the point of View: of public interest, which the people of New York owe to the work of the Thompson Legislative Committee. Tt was the Thompson committee that brought out the testimony | which showed that Wood as Public Service Commissioner $5,000 to an officer of the Union Switch and Signal Company as the| price of Wood's infly Goy.

TEEL put in a busy day eter of the country.” Yet we wonder if business generally permits itself to get as ex-| over steel as Wall Street would lead us to believe. On all si es) there is undoubted satisfaction that the steel trade is booming. Knowledge spreads confidence and optimism, even after allowance is fpade for the unwonted stimulus due to the war. But Wall Street is better understood than it used to be. surprise no one to find that the steel announcement was awaited there fnainly as the signal for another outburst of excited overconfidence fo be celebrated with the usual skyrocketing of stocks and the usual of speculation. Fe easiness has learned to watch steel and the railroads throug its own eyes and not as Wall Street represents them. The country generally is less dazzled by the gyrations of prices and quotations, It looks more to values. Hits From Sharp Wits.
