MISSING FORTUNE NOT
MIXED WITH CURRENCY

Chicago. March 6.-Any possibility
that the missing s173 900 from the To-
cal sub-treasury might have been
tucked into the currency was elimi-
mated yesterday when four experts
from the United States treasury at
'ashington counted the last of the
paper money in the vaults. 1t came
out correct to the dollar" saids sub

the present session OF congress. This
fact was practically conceded by I'll
when the senate supporters of e
bill agreed late Saturday to allow
the subject to go over for the day.
The principal opposition Saturday
came from the democratic senator's
who were interested in the CONNER C
of the Gulf of Mexico and it Il IS
been suggested that if a further pro
vision could be made in that interest
they would accept the bill other
democratic senators, however, oppose
the measure for other reasons, an I
if the gulf states element should !t-
sist in its opposition it would be :
newed by their colleagues who base
their antagonism on other grounds.
Moreover. the house leaders have
practically served notice upon tie
senate that If the bill should be
amended in any respesct by tie sen
ate it would be impossible to obta n
action in the house because of the
oppos ton there. The senate passed
the general deficiency appropriation
bill carrying slightly less than SIU,
100000. 1t was amended by the sen
ate by the inclusion of several bro.
visions, aggregating 100000. among
which was one clause increasing
the salary of the secretary to the
president from $1,000 to $4,000; in
another. to reimburse Senator Smoot
Tor expenses incurred in defending his
rights to his seat in the senate. $l5,.
600. 1t was explained that Senator
Smoot had paid his attorneys $50.
600 and the amount in the bill wclld
only reimburse him partially for his
expenditure. The general deficiency
appropriation bill passed, which con-
pletes action on the supply measures,
with the exception of conference re-
ports. The conference report on the
bill limiting the hours of service o.

final action was not taken. The dis
cussion developed no serious oppusi-

1t looks more and more as though
all this financial depression had come
according to the program Of the
great railroad magnates, who are
striving to "get even" with the Presi-

priety in his efforts to prod said cor
poration to carry on their transactions
within the limit of the law. But,

Burt recently in the Independent,

would leave about 800 school days,
which would vary in length Of ses.
sion from three hours in summer to

objects gained would be in his opin-
ion, to keep the children Oft the

In the course of his Thanksgiving

In the course of his Thanksgiving
proclamation, President Roosevelt
gives uttersnce to the following timely
words: ."Our natural resources are
at least as great as those of any ma
tion. Much has been given us from
on high and much will rightly be ex.
pected of US in return. Into our
care the 10 talents have been en-
trusted, and we are to be pardoned
neither If we squander and waste
them, nor yet if we hide them in a
napkin. We should earnestly pray
that the spirit of Righteousness may
grow greater in the hearts of all and
that our souls may be inclined even
more toward the virtues that tell for
gentleness, for loving kindness and
forbearance one with another, for
without these qualities neither nation
nor individual can raise to the level Of
greatness.

The closeness of financial matters
has very clearly demonstrated one
thing, and that is that we have been
having altogether too much of a
credit system. How much better
would the merchants have been pre-

customers been paying as they CO.
What il to hinder our profting by
this bit of experience and attending
to this matter right now2 It is
bad habit to get into for us TO have
our purchases always charged. for it
means that tbs dealer has to carry us
and naturally enough he cannot sell
as cheaply, because he must borrow
money with which TO meet the whole
sale houses who show no mercy but
exact every dollar that is due them.

THE EMPLOYEES DUTY.

"Common-Sense" says that no bet
ter advice to employees was ever given
than the following by Ebert Hub
bard. 1t is good anyway:
IF you work for a man, in heav-
ems name work for him. If he pays
you wages which supply you your
bread and butter, work for him,
speak well of him, think well of him,
stand by him, and stand by the insti-
tuition he represents.
Il think if / worked for man
would work for him. I would not
work for him part of the time, but
all of the time. l would give an un-
divided service or none.
"If put to a pinch, an ounce OF
loyalty is worth a pound of clever
ness. 4
IF you must vilify, condemn and
eternally discourage, why, resign
iyour position. But | pray you, 81
long as you are a part of an institu
ton, do not condemn it, Not thai
you will injure the institution, moi
that, but when you disparage the
concern of which you are part yor
disparage yourself"
