In discussing the chances of success of
the several preachers whose names have
been mentioned for the episcopacy. par
ticular stress is laid by some of the most
prominent leaders upon the prospective
success of DR.. Cooke. If another ballot
had been taken four years ago. he would
have been elected:
Young Men Wanted.
The friends of President Reed of Dick
inson College are sanguine Of success.
They say he could have been elected
twelve years ago If he had desired the
honor. He Is one of the foremost pulpit
orators and one of the best organizers in
member Of the conference. but Is an IN
terested spectator. Dickinson College has
turned out over 1000 Methodist preachers.

Crawford was called TO the presidency Of
Allegheny College in 1894. For the past
six or seven years the college has been
unusually prosperous During this time
five new buildings have been erected and

ly increased and the faculty materially
strengthened.
There is a demand among the delegates
for young men for the episcopacy. and
for this reason Rev. DR.. Edwin H. Hughes.
president of DePauw University, who is
about forty-hve years of age. has large
following. His chances of success would
be greatly enhanced il he had not dis
played such a remarkable ability as the
head of the university. Many of the lead :

to the four to fill vacancies caused by
deaths are regarded as necessary to meet
the requirements of the church because of
its growth. A recasting of the boundaries
of the territories to which the several
bishops are assigned may be. necessary.
In addition to electing eight bishops.
the conference will also be called upon
to reassign those now on duty. While
these assignments have not been agreed
upon, they are being discussed.
Probable Assignments.
Here is a summary OF the assignments
which some Of the prominent leaders of
the conference say will take place:
Bishop Goodsell, from Boston to New
York.
Bishop Cranston, to remain in Wash
ington and to continue his work i'm con-
nection with the American University.
Bishop Moore, from Portland, Ore, to
a field farther east.
Bishop Hamilton. from San Francisco
to Boston.
Bishop Berry. from Buffalo to Philadel-
phia (probable).
Bishop spellmeyer. to remain in Cincin-
natl.
Bishop Mcdowell will probably stay in
Chicago, though his assignment to New
York has been discussed.

Bishop Hartzell will remain in Africa
Bishop Warne will remain in India.
Bishop Scott (cOlored) will remain in Lii
IBERIA.
Bishop Oldham will remain in Singapore
Bishop Robinson will remain in Calcut-
ia. India.
Bishop Harris will remain in Japan.
Vacancies exist in Philadelphia. New
York and st. Louis. The prospective va
cancies in the foreign fields. caused by
transfers. will probably be filed by the
new bishops to be elected.
Electioneering by Friends Only.
Preachers who are mentioned for the
episcopacy are often placed in embarrass
ing positions by the activity of their
friends in their behalf. Custom and ETH
quette will not permit a preacher how.

the episcopacy, to say word or raise a
hand in his own behalf.

Rev. DR.. Buckley. editor of the Chris

COED WINS AT CORNELL
Highest Literary Honor Prize
 Awarded to Miss Alice Berham.

Ithaca, May. 25.-AIiss Alice Ber- ham of Mclean, N. r., senior in the Cornell College of Arts and Sci ences, obtained the Guilford essay prize by the decision of faculty com mittee composed of Professors Simp- son, Woodruff and Hammond. The prize was founded by the late James B. Guilford and amounts to S150. It is given for the best essay submitted and is open to any Cornell student desiring to enter the competition.
 There were seven other contestants besides the coed, but the committee were unanimous in awarding her the prize. The proportion of men to women in the university is seven to one, but none of the mems work ap- preached Miss Berham's in literary excellence. Her subject was "Men and the Muses." She has made one of the most brilliant records of any coed ever graduated from the univer- sity. Although entering with the class of 1909 she finishes her course in three years and will receive her T. B. degree in June. She won the Barnes Shakespeare prize of $50 last year and has won the prize for poetry. She is an honor student. The Gullford prize is considered the highest liter ary honor in the gift or tue Gaiver. sity.

In his Jefferson day speech in New York, Woodrow Wilson touched the quick, the very root and kernel, of the present dangerous social and ro- litical situation. He said: The cor poration lawyers of this country know what is going on; the legisla- tors do not I want to say to all COL poration lawyers: If you would save the corporation you will come out from cover and tell the legislators what is needed. You know what is needed; they don't. By telling them you will save the corporation. If you don't you will have the mob at its doors in a decade" The lawyers know. Root knows. Hughes knows Choate knows. Cravath and Dillon know. If these men. and the like of these will stand for the constitution as it is. as it was. and as it must DC, there will be no danger of socialism. plutoeracy, imperialism. or other Ge- vastating policy. They know what Is going on. They prepare tho busi- ness. They expound the law. They are the responsible parties in the present case.

WHITE HOUSE BoARDERs.
oyester Bay Hangs Out Signs Saying
 They Can't Be Fed.

Oyster Bay, May 25.-It is lucky for Loeb that he will get his three meals a day free up on Sagamore Hill this summer, for if he tried to obtain board in the town he would face series of signs reading:
 Only Rooms to Rent. No Table Board, Food Costs Too Much. {" Loeb wouldn't like to call the final phrase of that placard to President Roosevelt's attention. But the president is sure to hear of this strange paueity of provender, for dozens of White House employees come here with him every summer and when they learn of the embargo created by the boarding mlstresses they are sure to raise a howl that will penetrate the innermost room in the summer time seat of the mighty.
 Cottagers who havetaken boarders have announced they will be willing to let furnished rooms at s6 to ss a week. but they vill not set a table Food products are too high to make table boarders profitable at the price most persons wish 10 pay as- sert the shrevd townsfolk. Only yesterday a mysterious looking man went to the Thompson cottage.

WALK AND BE WE'LL.
Value of This Form of Exercise
 Physician Prescribes Spring Tonic

Recently a wise physician. who was asked to prescribe spring tonic, said: Decrease your eating one half, increase your water driaTing four times, double your outdoor ex- ercise and get not less than eight hours sleep. He knew what he was talking about" to use a col loquialism. We speak here to the question of outdoor exercise and 10 that form of 1t most natural and easiest to take-walkilg, because the time of year approaches when it can be best done. To walk in eX- treme weather is not pleasant and not so beneficial as in weather like that of the spring and the fall, when it can be done without discomfort. And let 1t not be forgotten that it can be done by all to q degree suf- ficient to benefit the health. All that is needed is what Is needed in most things-will, perseverance.
 Most folk that set out for course of exercise in walking begin with great resolution and walk three or four miles the first day. less the sec- ond and SO on until they are back in the old habits. Moderation IS the right rule in everything. Emphasis is put on walking for several reasons, one because it is a natural exercise, another because 1t brings In play d. most all of the muscles; another be- cause 1t expands the lungs and bcIng taken in the open air these aTe in immediate condition to set the full est benefit; still another because it can be taken by almost every ono. and lastly because it is the most nc- glected of all forms Of exercise and the neglect begins in childhood. It is a fact that modern means of loco motion have become sa easy and so general that a child Is not expected to walk even short distances.
 We hardly realize it, but VIC send our children to school few ecuares away by street car or special convey ance, and think 1t out of the question that they should walk a mile or co; yet we view with complaisaAoe sym- nastics or calisthenics And there is nothing like the old-fsshioued walk  to school land generally the iUnger the betterl where companions short en the way and during waich all sorts of pranks further shorten if.

extraordinary speculative and busi- ness activity. Something should be done to impress upon the public mind the significant fact that the supply of all other conveniences contracts or expands in accordance with necessities except currency. Our currency system is unfortunately ex- ceedingly rigid and we can increase its supply with much greater ease than we can reduce 1t; hence, in times of activity and low prices rates of interest fall to an abnormally low level, driving gold out of the coun- try and fostering unwholesome, in- fation. AS already stated, the late rise in the stock market has been unduly stimulated by great abund- ance of cheap money. It is true that prices were unduly low after the panic; that the outlook is positive ly improving, and that part of the recovery in stocks was simply the legitimate discounting of brighter future. But no sound argument could be found for lifting prices of many leading stocks 10 to 30 points above the August level of 1907, es- pecially with decreasing profits and reduced dividends close at hand. This was imitation pure and sim ple, and must be attributed, as al- ready said, to the absence of proper regulation of our monetary sup plies.

A very pertinent question was asked Medhill Mccormick of the Chi cago Tribune by Representative Ryan, a democratic member of tho committee Investigating the paper trust. If similar conditions could be shown to exist in other industries should the tariff affecting them not be revised also?" Mir Mccormick declined to express an opinion other than through the editorial columns of the Tribune. As the Tribune has been noted for exploiting tariff re- form in of years" and then sup porting stand-patters for election, it really flinders tariff revision more than helping it.

Once more we are having Q very practical demonstration of :he workings of our defective currency system. says Banker Henry Clews. Within the short space of six months we have experienced such violent fluctuations in money rates as are witnessed in no oher civilized coun- try in the world. During the panic call loans rose as high as I0a per cent and over; since then they have fallen as low as per cent and evez lower. Time loans during the same period were quoted al i2 10 Is per cent for 30 and 90 days. and are now to 2z to 3 per cent for the same periods. Nowhere else can
 such wild fluctuations be discov- cred. and they must be attributed almost entirely to the want Of elas- ticity in our currency system. When trade and speculation were active during 1907 there vas a persistent cry for more money. the government and the national hanks straining every resource 70 meet this demand Then came The pznic. and as the crisis subsided money quickly be- came a drug becaase there Eas 10 means of suitably reducing the sup ply.
