Stick to Your Business

The recent failure Of number OF
prominent banking firms, throughout
the country, affords fresh occasion
for enforcing on the minds of our
young men a business principle Of
vital Importance, Robert Bonner OF
the n. 7. Ledger says
lone of the ablest men that thi;
country has ever produced, and with
whom Il was our good fortune TO be
acquainted, used to say there was no
regular business man could not make
q fortune out of, if he would devote
himself to it and refuse TO be diverted
into anything else. And this ia Vel :
true. But the history of many bust
meas men is a history Of fortunes made
in regular occupations, and lost in ont
side operations and ventures.
!Snct to your Business, whatever that
business may be, is the only whole
some and safe rule to follow. Let our
Young men set out In life with this
principle firmly fixed in their minds,
never 10 be departed from. TheiC
success may seem to be delayed; bua
| IL will be sure; and that the slow ter
toise outstrips the nimble hare is more
fact than fable. Stick 20 your busi
ness, and your business will ultimate
ly repay your devotion a thousand
fold,

InpOI.ters' Bonds.

Luke + Poland, one Of the revisers
OF the United States statutes, writes
as follows to the Boston Journal.
But your article says there Is G.
blunder in the revision; in this, that
1t omits a section of the act of Marcel
!, 1923, in these words ANY bond
to the United States entered into for
the payment of duties by a merchant
belonging to firm, in the name Of
sach drm, shall equally bild the part
ner or partners in trade Of the person
or persons by whom such bond shall
have been executed l think Il very
doubtful whether Congress could by
such an act extend the authority OF
one partner to bind the firm, unless
the partnership articles or the general
principles OF partnership agency az.
thorized 1t; but CT this | make nc
point, for 1t was not omitted for an
such reason. When this act of 1923
was passed, the law suthorized cred
It 70 be given Tor duties and o bond
for their payment to be given by the
importer But by the act OF Angus.
8, is46, the giving credit for duties
was prohibited, ana all duties requir
ed to be paid in money, This virtual
ly repealed sll the provisions about
giving bonds for their payment,
You will sse by looking into Bright
ley 9 Digest OF the United States Sta
tutes, published as long sgo as 1855
that he incloses this section il brack
cts as being really repealed, and In a
note refers to the act Of ls46 as hsvinS

that this alleged error is no error"

CORRECTION.

Editors of the Register.
Wishing to make Il few remarks in re-
ply tothe article published in the Ntotdori
IN relation to the fire, and giving the
par.ic, credit who deserve it, we deem it
proper To- publish our statements,
FIr>t-lu relation to the heroic acts of
blu Uh.w, OF whom the Niaadari
gives II very clabora,e statement of his
rcscuug Mr. Oliver, of Philadelphia We
would assert that Mr.. Wheat did not res.
cue him and pick him up like child
and bear him out of his perIlouS position.
The gentleman who rescued Mr.. Oliver,
and VINO deserves credit for it, was Mr..
jasper Cator, who also assisted Mr..
Morclaud out of the window and carried
him down the ladder. Mr.. Oliver, who
was the last man rescued, drew himself
up to The window by crawling under II
burning timber, being unable TO RAISE
himself
MIR Morchud, who was the first 20
appear at the window, gave notice that
there were two men IN there who were
unable To- help themselves, and asked for
assistance. A ladder being put up Ia the
window. Mr.. Murcland re used to come
down until he would see the other untui.
tunate men cared for. Upo" making
this statement Jasper Clator ran up the
ladder and carried Mr.. Morclaud down.
when Ed. Clutor aSccrIcd the ladder and
brought down Mr. Reed; and Jasper
again went up the ladder and looking in
the window saw Mr. Oliver, who was
slowly making his way to the window,
and Selling him carried him out and
down to the street. The above - the
correct statement IN relation To the rescue
of the uuiortuuat" men.
MIR. Brooks, foreman of the REGISTER
bindcry, who was also on the floor with
Mr. SnIdcr, captain of the Atlantic com
! panv, and the other unfortunate men
when it gave way, deserves great credit
for making 81 desperate attempt to save
the unfortunate men, but owing to the
| dense smoke and heat that came up from
! the stage where the three men that were
| hurt tell. he was unable TO yet to them,
and had to retreat dowa stairs 10 save
his life. lie and Mr.. Snidcr stopped on
the first floor, but the other three went
through on the Stage, falling a distance
OF abou, thirty feet.
In relation to the Atlantic Engine hav-
ng to stop several times to raise steam,
1t j. false The only stoppageS made were
to take oil bur>tcd section of hose. and
! once To- change - nozzle. The whole de-
partmrnt WAS rs prompt on the occasion
| ot yesterday rs al any previous fire, and
IL remains with Council To make the de-
partmcnt more prompt. The reasons
are not necessary here L. mention.
