Special From Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, October 24.-The state
ment was made to me today by man who
Is in position to know whereof he speaks
If he is telling the truth, that nine-tenths OF
the Catholic priests of the diocese of New
York will vote for Hughes. This informa.
ton did not go on to say that the clergy
that it had been definitely ascertained that
they favor Hughes for governor.
My informant called attention to a recent
statement attributed to Rev Father Stat.
ford of Washington which he said is being
used with effect. 1t is said to have ap-
peared in a recent issue of church publi-
cation called the "Patrican,' VIII which
Father Stafford is said to be connected.
The extract follows: 49,
The nomination of Hearst for the gov
ernorship of New York by the democratic
party is very sad reading for those who
love America and hope for it's future. If
Mr.. Hearst. who stands for yellow Journal
ism and its glorifcation of crime should
be elected in New York it would be the
greatest blow that this republic ever re-
ceived.'
There is no way in which can person
ally verify the statement as to the alleged
attitude of the Catholic clergy of this do
cese, but the standing of my informant
warrants my using it on his say-so.
1t is certain that the Catholic church
in this community was exceedingly favor
able to the republican ticket in the last
national campaign and that many priests
openly rejoiced in the defeat of Hearst in
the mayoralty campaign.
Both political parties strive their ut
most to control the Catholic vote and the

Now comes the statement that
nine-tenths of the Roman Catholic
priests in New York will vote for
Hughes, and it is also asserted that
a large part of the Jewish vote will
be cast for him. Things are looking
up for the republicans, and it is as
serted by staff correspondent that
the situation is changing. Hearst's
Yiddish newspaper is said to be los
ing ground.

Views of President Lambert.

Views Of President Lambert.
MT. Wilton J. Lambert, president of the
Peoples Savings Bank, this afternoon made
the following statement:
AT the time the present management
and ofiicers of the bank took matters in
hand in February last they found every
thing in good shape excepting that it ap-
peared there had been large loan made
at the time of the beginning of the bank by
Mr. Masters to the investment company in
"nlch he was interested. This loan mad not
peen curtalled In long time and the new
management made constant and vigorous
EFFORTS In that direction, resulting in OBJ
tanning more than SI,To curtail IN eight
months They had every reason to believe
mat II allowed to do SO they could realize
the full amount of the loan through the in
Vestment company securities. In view of
thls condition the officers have kept on
nanu an extremely large cash reserve for
the protection Of depositors.
There certainly should be no loss to de-
positors, and under proper management
stockholders should asoo recover their in
vestment"
Feeling of Conscience.
The general feeling in financial circles
where the best information in regard to
the business Of banking institutions is to
be found. is that 1t is probable there will
be no more extreme results to be expected
The examination which is being made into
the condition of the incorporated institu-
tons OF the city receiving deposits, not in
Guiding the national banks and trust COM
panles. which have always been subject to
such supervision by the Treasury Depart
ment. IS about orr, and with the excep-
ton OF the Aetna Trust and Banking Conn
pany, which was branch concern, and the
Peoples Savings Bank, all the institutions
examined thus far have passed muster and
are pronounced to be all right.
1t is also felt that the ultimate result will
be that the banking institutions of the city
will be on a stronger foundation than ever
before. Whatever weakness has been de-
veloped will be eliminated and with the
continuance of the supervision which the
machinery of the office of the controller of
the currency affords there Is every reason
for entire assurance in the security Of in
situations receiving the deposits of the pub
lie.
Officers and Directors.
The list of officers and directors, as given
in the last printed statement issued by the
bank, is follows: Wilton ]. Lambert,
president; William F. GUIDE, first vice presi-
dent; John G. Fogler, second vice presi-
dent; John B. Kinnear treasurer: R. p
Andrews, S. D. Waters, Lurtin R. CHM, S.

Once on time spoke a word
That was bitter of meaning and harsh of tone
And it went as straight a poisoned dart
To the very core on true friends heart,
And the beautiful page of our love wa
blurred
Forevermore, by that word alone.
Once on time cast a sneer
At the small mistake of one / knew,
And his soul, discouraged, let slip the rope,
That anchored it to the shore Of hope,
And drifted out on a sea of fear.
To waves of failure and winds untrue.
Once on a time l whispered tale
Tainted with malice, and far and near
1t few, to cast on a spotless name
The upas shade Of limited shame.
And wherever it reached il left trail
Across the promise of many year.
Never that word could be unsaid
That lost me friendship old and true
Never that sneer might be undone
That broke the trust Of an erring one
Never untold the tale that sped
To blight and battle q lifetime through.

THE ART OF MARRIED LIFE.
iConcluded.l


1t is community of feeling and OF interests
that draws close the marriage bond, and it
gets it's perfection when the common feeling
and interest are staked in what is most
precious and most permanent. Nature in
her divine order soon brings into married life
that most precious and lasting of interests,
new lives to be nutured, and to inherit the
best Of what went before. The advent of
children to the married pair is an instance
and symbol Of what their union means.
Brought by that union into a nearness to
each other, of which thu language is 1--WE are
ONE, the two are not thereby isolated from
the rest of the world; they are led into closer,
more vital relation with the whole living
universe. They are 10 serve with new power,
to love with new largeness. Ever their hori-
ron is to widen, Through heart Joined to
heart, they feel the life Of God. Their prison
was broken when to live solely for self be-
came impossible. They are TO live now for
each other and for the kingdom of God.
Tasting love, they taste eternity.

LITTLE KINDNESS.
You gave on the way pleasant smile
And thought no more about IL;
1t cheered a heart that was sad the while,
That might have been wrecked without 1t;
And so for the smile and its fruitage fair q
You'll reap a crown some time--somewhere.
You spoke one day cheering word,
And passed to other duties;
II warmed a heart, new promise stirred,
And painted a life with beauties;
And so for the word and its silent prayer
You'u reap palm some time-somewhere.
You lent hand to a fallen one,
A lift in kindness given;
1t saved soul when help was none,
And won a heart for heaven;
And 80 for the help you proftered there
You'n reap Joy some time--somewhere.
