where that the reqIes,s that have
eeen made to the president to call an

nave been given such wide. and ap-
parontly inspired. publicity. Inquiry
in half a dozen trustworthy sources
hrogsh, to light the following facts In
regard to the publication. and appar-
entity established the central and sa.
lent point OF inquiry that the publi-
.ation dld no. emanate from the White
House.
70 is the strongly held assumption
here that the publication OF these facts
was due 10 the persons or interests
who have been urging the president to
call an extra session. Mr.. Loeb said
that he had been careful not to say
Jne word about the financial situation,
aud lie know that the president had
not authorized any statement directly
or Indirectly In responsible treasury
Offices. particularly, the strongest re-
gret Is expressed that publicity should
have been given at this time to the
requests that have been. made for an
extra session.
It was learned that these requests
hays been made, that they were con
sidored ut last Fridays cabinet meet
ing. and that. without much discus
sion. as a cabinet officer said. the re-
quest was settled adversely emphatt
cally" Il is felt here at the treasury
department that too much importance
has been attached to the publicity
given the requests and that the gen
eral effect has been harmful.
There is no present thought OF an
extra session. and there will be none,
In the minds of the president and the
advisors whose words he is needing,
at this juncture, unless there Is an
absolute reversal of their present atti-
tude and state Of mind.
Neither will the president make
any statement, If his present mood
holds. intended to reassure public SEN
timont. It is strongly felt here that
public confidence will be less affected
by no statement at all than by even
the most reassuring words that could
come from any administration source.
Conditions are wholly different
from wha; they were In 1893. said a
treasury official Then we could put
our finger on the difficulty. Everybody
said II congress will meet and repeal
the Sherman purchasing act the trou'
Bile will stop and we will be all right
They had something definite TO point
their finger at as the cause Of the
then existing trouble. Today this Is not
true. Nobody can point out any fed
eral law and say: This is the cause
Of the trouble. Repeal this law and
we will be all right The president
cannot call congress In extra session
to repeal tho Sherman antitrust law
or to remedy in a day or week any
evils OF our existing finance laws. Even
the best financiers differ as to the de-
fects in our currency system and the
best way to remedy them"

We'd join our hearts and hands Tor lie
And live our days as man and vile.
55 years have changed the scene,
Life then was in the early green;
Now time has left it's stealthy trace
In whitened locks and wrinkled face.
SO years. We now can see
The numerous branches of our tree,
Our children counted more than score,
Our children's children counted more.
So years. Some dear ones gone,
We mics indeed each loving one;
Some In the withered time OF life,
Some iu the bloom-one godly wife.
SO years, and we here still
With health to do and cheerful will;
Kind Providence has been our aid.
We've doue our part, can't be unsaid.
55 years. We've lived to see
Our country's great prosperity.
A union firm OF heart and hand,
One great on sea and great on land.
So years. The time draws near,
Ii mag be 10 the coming year,
For well we know all have their time,
And later on LII cease to rhyme.
