George was the man who should be
selected. Not only that. he declared
his belief in the single tax theory. at
the same time expressing other radical
ideas. All this gave a terrible shock
to his blue-blooded. conservative flock.
diSSenSiOns were in time stirred up and
eventually considerable portion of
the members. headed by Millionaire
BOice. called upon him to resign. To

ferred to stay. Then charges were pre-
ferred against him and the trial is now

SCHEME FOR CHARITY.

One Of the most serious problems
table enterprises is the question as to
the best method by which to
reach the contributing public, the
men and women who would
gladly give small amount but
who know OF no method by which il
can be done easily and quietly. says the
Philadelphia Press. Mos; charitable en-
terprises depend largely on circulars
reports and newspapers to bring them
10 the notice Of the men who can
afford to give generously. Solicitors
are sent around to ask contributions
appeals are made from the pulpit. en-
jertainments are held for the benefit Of
institutions. and YET those who have
made charity study do not feel that
they have reached the masses Aus
tria has taken one step which seems
TO be a step forward in this direction
The government has issued what il
calls charity post cards. for the use
of persons who want To make small
contributions to any charity. These
cards are treated much the same az
postal orders are treated in this coun-
try. Ii d man desires to give IL
kreutZers to a charitable institution he
buys i0-kreutzer post card. affixes a
stamp and addresses it TO its destina-
ton. The recipient takes the card TO
a postoffice and il is there cashed for

Disasters in trade shown this week

Meanwhile banks are extremely eau
