Universal suffrage and great prog

material improvements have been ac-
complished during the long reign of
Francis Joseph and mainly through
his efforts.

Cooperation in Banking.

Minneapolis Journal: The New York
clearing house has come gradually 10
exercise unofficially but none the less
effectively some such powers over bank
ing emergencies as the law gives the
governors of the bank of England.
The principle employed is purely
one of cooperation. In crisis the
clearing house meets with the mana
gers of the troubled institution and
either advises closing its doors, or,
having satisfied itself that the institu-
ton is sound and requires only
breathing spell, advances the necessary
aid to help it over its difficulties. The
recent furry in New York, which at
tackled trust companies especially.
showed the value of the clearing house
arrangement The weak point OF 1t
was that it did not include the trust
companies. The situation had not pro-
ceeded very far before it was seen that
the same principle of cooperation must
be applied to these institutions, and
they proceeded to get together for mu-
tual helpfulness.
This is so different from the practice
in the past when a money panic over
took business that it forms new era
in finance. The old style was for the
banks to protect themselves. When
the skies darkened they called in their
loans and ruined their customers to
save themselves. Under the new style
they support each other to save not
only themselves but their customers as
well. And, properly enough, when a
crisis does arise the clearing house
which represents the collective wisdom
and judgment of the banks discrimin
ates. If j! finds an institution which
has been so rottenly mismanaged that
it is not worth saving or is past saw
ing, it lets it go and subtracts just thai

tient improves as soon as the shock O.

The "Third Term"

AT the trust conference in Chicago
last week there were'a number of del
egates who expressed themselves for
publication as favoring~ the election vi
President Roosevelt to a, third term
This opinion has also been expressed
by number of people of more or less
prominence.
There is nothing in the written law
against any president being elected or
serving for three or more terms. If
such a thing could be there is no pen
atty that would follow.
But if Roosevelt shall receive the
nomination, which he has declared he
neither aspires to nor would accept.
the question would then be open TO:
discussion, and would be vigorously
discussed, whether there is not a very
strong prohibition in precedent against
a president of the United States serv-
ing three terms. The people wou!1
then have to return verdict
whether three terms as president of
the republic is right, or even desira-
bic. Mr. Roosevelt appreciated the
custom. precedent and sentiment of the
country and its people and acquiescc1
in it when he announced that his pres
ent term would be his last term an
that he would not be a candidate for
reelection.
There is no sentiment in the count ~
worth considering in favor of three
terms for president. There is no
reason why President Roosevelt should
have a third term, and no serious AMI
well-considered demand for it other
than from those whose desire for re-
tention of the republican party in
power, that the organized appetite in
that party may continue to be fed a:
the public trough, causes them to be
lieve that he is the only republican,
who can be elected. because his pro
fessed adhesion to certain democratic
doctrines has convinced the electorate
that he is better than his party; ana
that is no argument at all for his TO
election and no reason why he Shouts
stultify himself.
The public. therefore. has a rigb'
| to assume that all the talk about the
| third term is the vaporings of i'll
balanced minds and the bowling of thu
officeholders who hope that they may
thereby secure another term for them
selves.

There was decided tendency among

Most of the scholars at the summer

At home Miss Smell had considered
her one thick suit and two lawn dress
es sufficient and elegant wardrobe,
especially as it was supplemented by
six white waists, two of which were
embroidered by her own hands, one in
Il prim daisy pattern and one with
chrysantheInums.
At the summer school, however, even
the embroidered waists seemed made
uuate as compared to Miss Biscoe's
delicate lingerie blouses, with their
short sleeves and frilly effects. Miss
SHELLS waists had linen cuffs and stiff
collars, which emphasized the plain
ness of her little, pointed face. her
straight banded hair, her spare girlish
figure.
