sage.

Synopsis of the Presidents Mes
sage.
For the busy reader these salient
features of the Presidents Message
are given:
Business conditions are sound;
it is foolish for people to hoard
money; boarding caused the mon
ey stringency. There can be no
differences of opinion as to the
need of unflinching perseverance,
| in the war against successful dis
honesty.
For railroads national corpor-
ation law is needed or law to IL
cense railroads 70 do an interstate
business. Railroad agreements
should be allowed subject to pub
lie scrutiny.
| The Sherman antitrust law
should be amended, since it puts
premium on immortality by for
bidding honest men to do what
must be done under modern bnsl-
ness conditions. Only evil CON-
binations should be punished.
We need greater elasticity IN
our currency. Emergency cur
rency is required, based on ade-
: auate securities aud under heavy
tax.
The country is committed to
: protection. Tariff revision should
be approached from business
!, standpoint. 1t is improper to deal
with it Oh the eve Of presidential
a election.
81 A graduated income tax woult

law should be passed.

 He realized that he might make a spectacle of himself if he attempted to pick up the quarter, so he decided 10 wait until she and her friend got out Meanwhile he took an occasion. al glance at the coin.
 The women found themselves at their station unexpectedly, and in their hurry to get out, one of them knocked her handkerchief. which was weighted with something. on the back of the fat mans seat. A corner of the handkerchief dropped and let out a shower of jingling silver.
 The owner knelt and began col lecting the coins, while her friend urged her to hurry. The man gave a sigh of relief when he saw that the woman had not noticed his quarter. Just then. however, the other woman observed it.
 Katrina" she said, you have not all dot sehange got. Look Dere is a quyarter"
 Katrina, with an effort, stopped and picked it up, and she and her friend rushed from the car. The fat man. who saw the futility of protest under the peculiar circumstances, sighed re- sretfully and sadly watched them go. IN. I. Sun
