that would fill 500 cars, and which it
costs 100000 to recount--now deliber-
ately proposes to forever store this

amount With the good business condi-
tons now prevailing, It would seem to
be the wisest course to follow theadvice
of the Secretary of the Treasury and
the director of the mint and gradually
change over the dollars which viii not
circulate into a form of money which
not only will circulate but which viii

The highest amount ever in circulation
was 100000 in 1902. 1t is manifest,
therefore. that S500,000.00c can only be

The Navy Department has ordered
that when the colors are raised in the
morning and when they are lowered
at night the band shall play THE Star
Spangled Banner" Probably most
Americans regard It as their best ma
tional song. The only objection to 1t is
that 1t is hard TO sing. America can
be sung and would no doubt take prec-
edence over all the rest If Great Brit
ain would consent 10 stop using the
tune as its own national hymn. There
IRE several stirring military songs, but
their Civil War origin makes them an
available. The Navy Department Is
right. Even If most of us cannot sing
The Star-Spangled Banner" the band
can play It, and we can think of the
words.

LICENSES
FOR YEAR
Board Now Ready to Receive
Applications.
FEW CHANGES EXPECTED
Argued that the Present License
License Holders Are Entitled
to Another Year.
FEW CHANGES EXPECTED

The board of license commissioners
is now ready to receive applications
for licenses from this date up to and
including April 6.
The present holders of licenses have
apparently been satisfactory to the
commissioners and the impression
prevails that they will be successful
again this year though some changes
will unquestionably be made next year.
In common fairness, those who have
invested considerable sums of money
in bar outfits and have lived up to the
spirit of the law, ought not to be turn
ed down at the end of the first year,
without good and sufficient reason.
The fee for the first class license will
be the same as last year $1,000
and che fifth class $40. The expense
fee this year will be $3.50 TO be paid
in advance by each applicant.
