San Francisco as a Financial
Center.

The feature today, in the regular Sat-
urday financial reports embracing the.
week., is the dropping out of San Fran
cisco. The city stood about seventh
on the list in bank clearings, varying
from sixth to ninth in position, from
week to week, but always showing
large figures. This week there is a
blank. Los Angeles also fails to re-
port, rejecting, no doubt, the pressure
Of work and general financial unset
Element following the great disaster
farther north. Thus the Pacific coast
clearings of the week are of little value
for comparison, except that, by the cut
ting off Of San Francisco, it is more
clearly seen how great a part the west
coast commercial activity was carried
on there, and how important the city
really was. The figures for the week
previous were $41,0O0,O00. Los An
geles runs up about $13,oo0,00o in an
ordinary week, Seattle shows SO 100000,
Portland about SO 100000 and Tacoma,
$4,000,000. Thus, whatever activity
these figures may represent is ordina-
rily greater by considerable, in San
| Francisco, than in all the other Pacific
coast cities Of Importance. IF Spokane,
with it's weekly total Of about $780,
900, be added, the comparison will still
stand. 81. T. !, ..,. ,As,s.=.s.
It will be interesting to watch the
effect of the calamity upon the coast
cities further north That Seattle,
Portland and Tacoma, win all be bene-
fitted by this putting Of San Francisco
out Of business, seems a reasonable ex'

rebuilt finally. Bank clearings are not

The May Craftsman contains articles Of
national Importance. It is, for instance,
distinctly important for a nation to know
that it is revealing Its thoughts in Its archi-
lecture, and that as yet American archi-
lecture is pretty bad, as Louis Sullivan as
serts and proves in his trenchant article
what Is Architecture "a Study of the
American People, beginning in the May

midst of the whirl OF progress and dis

Commuters on the Long Island rail

whist, euchre, pinochle and other child
ish games, were surprised, the other day
when, a special policeman raided the

it was not, a wave Of moral reform
which struck the railroad; but was the
knowledge that cardplayers took too
much room and that they frequently
made remarks not in the dictionary
which induced it to act.

RELIGIOUS VIEWS A BARRIER

RELIGIOUS VIEWS A BARRIER
TO HAPPINESS.-Anne Douglas Sedg-
wick, author of "Paths of Judgment
and several other novels Of more than
usual strength, in her latest novel, The
Shadow Of Life, has pictured with
power the tragedy that lies in the differ
ing religious views of those who love
each other. She has not dealt with SUI
perficial differences, but with funda-
Inentals. Her hero is young man In
whom seed of Scotch mysticism has
Powered early in Buddhistic atmos-
phere He has come to look forward
to an absorption of the individual in
the infinite and to regard the world of
sense as an unreality.. The heroine
takes an exactly opposite view, believ-
ing in the persistence of the Individual
personality. These two persons are
thrown into intimate relationship, yet
the barrier is impossible. The story ID
one of unusual interest, tho somber.
