To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
Please allow me little space in your pa
per to make a suggestion in reference to
the Republican state convention. 1t is well
known that two and four years ago the
work of the convention was entirely too
much for one days session. At both OF
these conventions the work was not COM
pleted till nearly daylight of the following
morning. Two years ago. when it came TO
the nomination Of Appellate Court judges.
in the wee hours of the morning." there
We're not one iii four of the delegates pres
ent. Many counties did not have a single
delegate present to vote. This manner OF
nominating. when half the delegates are not
present and when those that are present
are tired and worn out by the exhaustlng
labors of the convention. is not conducive
to the best interests of the party. state
convention of a great party should be de-
liberate and careful. TO wear out the dele
gates by long continued sessions is not con-
ducive to good results. Since the establish
ment of the Appellate Court there are more
nomina tons to be made. and ordinarily ii is
impossible TO do the work in one day; es-
pecially is this true when there are so many
candidates and such active contests for
every place on the ticket. Nominations for
the Supreme and Appellate Court Judgeships
are of the utmost importance TO the people
of the State. They are of much more inn
portance than the offices Of auditor. treas
urer and secretary of state III their hands
are placed the lives liberties, property and
general welfare Of the people of the State
In order to give the nominations for these
high and important positions proper con-
sideration, l would suggest that the state
committee call the convention for two days
1t would probably suffice TO call the conven-
ton on Wednesday afternoon or evening
and finish the work on Thursday. on
Wednesday the preliminary work OF organ
ization could be disposed of and the Judges
for the Supreme and Appellate Courts NOM
mated. Then, after a nights rest, the dele
gates could finish the nominations on Thurs
this plan two years ago. and IL met the APP
prevail OF many Republicans over the State.
but the state committee did not see fit TO so
order IL. / hope the committee will give
this matter its earnest consideration.

expected that the movement of money away
from New York and the withdrawal of an
ln6tallment OF the government deposits or
the Union Pacific might be offset by a con-
traction Of loans resulting from the liquida-
ton on the Stock Exchange. Instead, there
has been an expansion in loans of over ST.
Og0,WO and a decline in the surplus reserve
or 1918 800. The loan account is probably
affected by opera tons I'm connection with
the Kansas Pacific sale. But, allowing Ior
the undoubted reduction of loans for stock
speculation that must have occurred. there
is still indicated a largely increased demand
Tor money, a good proportion of which mas
gone into commercial paper. This indicates
good basis for the expectation among
bankers that the money market has higher
rates ir prospect and may also account for
the cheap rates at which sterling exchange
for future delivery is sold compared with
present rates. While this might curtail re-
sources Tor immediate speculative purposes,
it. is sign of the continued growth OF BUS
mess activity. The astonishing growth OF
our foreign trade as indicated in the govern
ments report for January, the large con-
sumption of iron at advancing prices, tne
prices and the favorable traffic returns or

to his mother was, after ALL added testi-

doubt that the mother was a novelty. One

There were three sisters who lisped very
badly, and their mother who was solicitous
about finding husbands for them, was con-
tiually admonishing them to hold their
tongues. One evening the three lspers were
invited to "a quilting" at q neighbours.
Now, mind, girls said the anxious
mother, ''some nice young men are going to
be there. and you must not say a word, OIL
they will learn that you lisp and won't care
to make up with you.
They promised to be silent. and went to
the quilting. When they reached the house
they sat down and quilted diligently in ST.
lence, and nothing could induce them 10
take part in the conversation. At last the
eldest wanted the scissors, and tried to
make signs to her next sister TO pass them
to her but could not attract her attention.
Losing patience, she Stammered out:
"Thither, path me the thithorth.
The other replied with Indignation:
Didn't ma they that 90 thouldnlt they
Anythin' p
This too much for the youngest, and
she exclaimed I'm a self-congratuatory tone
'Bleth heaven, / amt thaid nothin!"
