Of the spring demand is awaited with
such keen anxiety In the money mar
ket" That journal further says that
there has been an over-extension Of
credit, which is undoubtedly the case,
though there is reason to think that
this has not reached the point of seri-
Gus danger. There has been within the
last six months a conservative tendency
In the matter of credits and it is doubt
less true that in this respect the situa-
ton is better now than it was a year
ago. 1t is manifestly important that the
banks Of the country shall continue to
observe a careful and conservative pol
icy in this particular and especially that
they should avoid encouraging specu-
lation in any respect.
The steady accumulation Of currency
in the national treasury is a somewhat
disturbing circumstance and it is per-
haps unfortunate that congress failed
to give authority to the secretary of the
treasury to employ a larger portion Of
the surplus for the relief of the money
market than he can now do. Still this
may be found a less serious difficulty
than is now feared. Much will depend
upon the policy of the national banks,
which it is to be expected will be die
tated by wise consideration for the
financial and business welfare of the
country.

oUIeLEY ASSUMES Nav MITER
Archbishop of chicago Installed
Before Crowds of Reverent
worshtpers.

CHICAGO March 1o.-Tonight, in the
presence Of a great throng Of the laity and
priesthood crowding every foot in the
Cathedral Of the Holy Name, Bishop James
E. Quigley was installed Archbishop Of
Chicago.
| The archbishop proceeded to the sanctu-
airy. where he intoned the prayer Of the
patron saint OF the church. As the pro-
cession entered the choir sang "Ecce,
Sacredos Magnus.'' A. the conclusion Of
prayer by the archbishop the pontlhcal bulls
formally announcing him the successor Of
the late Archbishop Feehan, were read,
both in English and Latin. The archbishop
then gave his blessing to the people.
Addresses OF welcome we're delivered by
Bishop Muldoon on behalf of the clergy
Of the archdiocese and by Richard Cannon,
president OF the general conference of the
st. Vincent De Paul society, on behalf of the
laity. The ceremony closed with the benz
ediction Of the blessed sacrament, which
was given by the Right Rev. P. j. Muldoon.
Archbishop Quigley's first oaicial act after
being installed was to appoint Bishop Null
doom vicar general of the Chicago arch
diocese.
Five hundred Catholic laymen met Arch
bishop Quigley at La Porte, Ind, this
morning, when p. ]. O'Keefe, chairman of
the reception committee, entered the arcn-
bishops car and read him an address OF
welcome, The party took part in the ex-
e%rcises at La Porte, after which the start
for Chicago was made.
Mr.. o'Keefe's address was, in part, as
follows:
We feel that that high ideal established
by the sanity prelate whom you succeed
will be gloriously maintained by you. Ever
ready as we have been to respond to the
call Of the late archbishop and adminis-
traitor of the diocese, we hasten to assure
YOU most fervidly that in any emergency
that may arise you shall never appeal in
We feel that your coming to be our arch
bishop, much as the honor and distinction
imply, is not all joy, for who does not know
and love the spirit of that warm affection
and those tender memories of kindred and
the old home you have left behind. We are
not a Jealous people, and are quite willing
that you should at all times look with
kindly eye and hold tender heart toward
the first object of your affection.
In welcoming you as our chief priest and
pastor, and as the representative of au-
thority in the church of which we are
members, we offer you that obedience which
comes properly from the choice of our
faith, and we rejoice that in you we find
one who has at all times been an example
in that faith.
And while we ask you to believe that in
Chicago, among your own fold, especially,
you will find at all times a willingness to
serve you we feel confident that your COM
ing among us shall be but the inception of
even greater glory and honor for the church
Of Chicago and for all concerned.

Profit from Franchises.
Pittsburg Despatch.


A striking example OF the successful ap-
p~lication OF the principle Of disposing Of
public utility franchises by competitive
bidding is reported from Manila, where
Pittsburg capital has just secured the
right to construct an electric street rail-
way system and to transmit light and
power. The Pittsburg company, in the face
Of keen competition, won by offering to
pay 214 per cent of the gross receipts for
the privileges granted. The news provokes
comparison with the manner of giving
away public franchises in vogue in most
American cities. II a corporation operat-
ing traction, light and power plants in
a city like Manila can afford to pay 2h
per cent upon the gross receipts for a
hfty-year franchise the conclusion is ir-
resistible that a much greater return should
be obtained for the vastly more profitable
enterprises at home.

Physicians of the Merry Heart.


The people Of Baltimore will have al
an opportunity in the near future to see
the funny men OF the various great news
papers Of the country. In May this city
will be the scene of a quiet and orderly
convention of serious men who write humor.
They will be just as human as a bunch of
undertakers and will be no more recognize
able by any label nature has placed upon
them than is a shoe clerk or a typewriter
girl. They are men who proceed at their
days work as other men do, who work
conscientiousiy, living the bes, lives they
may and making the world really brighter
and better for their having lived in 1t.
They are physicians of the merry heart
but first, foremost and all the time they
are human beings, working as hard as they
can for their own living and all possible
advancement and the welfare of those de-
pendent upon them. Occasionally there is
an embarrassing exception among recruits
who are still puffed up with the idea Of
being called funny men," but they are re
garded with pity by the veterans anI will
get over 1t some day.

WE SHOULD SMILE.

La Junta (Col.) Republican.
The thing that goes the farthest toward
making life worth while,
That costs the least and does the most, is
just a pleasant smile
The smile that bubbles from the heart that
loves Its fellow-men
Will drive away the cloud of gloom ana
coax the sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness, too, with
manly kindness blent;
It's worth a million dollars and 1t doesn't
cost q cent.
There is no room for sadness when we see
a CHEEKY smile,
It always has the same good look-it's
never out of style;
II nerves us on to try again when failure
makes us blue
for me and you.
smile is meant
IT'S worth a million dollars and 1t doesn't

President Eliot's declaration that
eastern men seem to get things done
and accomplish their purposes quicker
than western men, will be. promptly
challenged. AS a matter of fact, Presi-
LEM Ellot's ability to judge is decid-
eddy open to question. inasmuch as he
himself is hemmed in by the provincial
ism of New England. which refuses to
see anything praiseworthy beyond its
own boundaries. When it comes to a
test by measuring up achievements of
eastern men and western men, the west
need have no fear of the result.

Some OF the mysteries of the committee
rooms are unveiled by the secretary's re-
port, which shows that twelve packs of
playing cards and two domino sets were
bought for senator's during the last fiscal
year. 1t is now known why senators walk
off in pairs when a long speech is begun.
SOM senator had bought for his use a
Jewel case, and another got a pair Of rubber
boots, and a third ordered sawdust, cork
screws, knives and a Gibson calendar.
Another frugal statesman had the SER
geant-at-arms buy him two hour glasses.
Right under this item is another for an oil
stove. The suggestion has been made that
the hour glass and oil stove are to be used
in connection with the boiling Of eggs.
Two bibles were bought during the course
of a year and a bundle Of toothpicks. other
articles were horseshoes, mustang liniment
and hay, but all of this was for the SEN
atorial horses.
For one chair the senate paid $780, and
it is by no means the best in the building,
for pretty nearly every committee room is
supplied with expensive furniture.
About the cheapest thing bought was
two escutcheons' at 8 cents each. SEN
ator Lodge has a pair of red china silk cur
tains in his committee room for which the
government paid $SS.
The senate buys highly perfumed French
soaps in preference to the domestic kind.
Brilliantine, hair tonic and baby" powder
are all items of expense in the report. At
tar OF roses is also supplied for the barber
shop.
Some Of the other articles bought we're
olive oil, hair brushes, shaving mugs,
castor oil, sea salt, toothache wax, court
plaster. horehound candy, seidlitz powders.
medicine glasses, roach powder, shoe black
ing, shaving soap. dandruf1 cures, razors,
scissors and tooth brushes.

Three factors are at work through many

servatism which has so long enveloped the
farmers as a class-one, the telephone;
another, the rural mail delivery, and the

been at least a week removed from the
stirring events Of the day and so failed

OPPOSITIuN TO TREATY

There is considerable opposition in
Cuba to the reciprocity treaty with this
country. This was voiced in a late
speech in the Cuban congress, a senator
declaring that reciprocity was not neces-
sary to the progress of the new republic
and pointed out that statements which
a beer made in regard to the miser-
les of Cuba were exaggerated to infu-
ence the reciprocity movement; that as
a matter of fact 1.-The Cuban sugar pro
ducers were better off than those in the
United States" He declared that this
country would always need Cuban sugar
and that the terms of the Brussels con-
vention were certain to benefit Cuba
during the coming five years.
U~tterances of this kind may have no
great effect upon the Cuban people, but
they are not unlikely to have some with
the opponents of the reciprocity treaty
In the United States senate. whose
strength is not now definitely known. 1t
is undoubtedly a fact that there has been
some exaggeration In the statements re-
garding conditions in the new republic.
but it is doubtful If that country can
make satisfactory industrial and COM

commercial relations with the United

After buying everything from sawdust and
snuff to candy and altar of roses, the
United States senate spent $3,632.40 last
year for mineral water to Stake the sena-
torial thirst, according to the report OF
Charles G. Bennett, its secretary.
1t appears that every senator must take
400 grains of quinine in order to keep at
his duties, for the report states that some
13, 800 grain quinine pills were brought for
the use of the senate.
Just now there is much speculation as to
who bought a sewing set" for 1915 and
a fashion book. Members of the house who
use $50 bootblack stands are having much
amusement over the sewing set item in the
secretary's report.
All the articles mentioned in Secretary
Benefits report are paid for out Of the
contingent fund of the senate.
After drinking 6S2 cases of mineral
waters the senate still had a thirst. for
there are items Of seventy boxes Of lemons
and eight barrels Of graduated sugar for
making lemonade.
