money on deposit than ever before in
their history. This is due to the fact
that since last October the country
banks have shown a disposition to
keep their deposits at home, instead
Of following the usual plan OF sending
them east to get interest from the big
banks. Conservative banks of the west
and south have expressed the opinion
that there will be little call this year
upon the east for money to aid in the

AS a result of these conditions, par
ticularly in the west, there has been
a complete lull in the organization OF
national currency associations for is

is generally admitted that few or no
currency associations will be organ

such organizations have postponed
further action for the present. The

with funds that three of the big ma

A man of clean personal life, OF demon

disputed in any quarter.
He is Of presidential size. The great Of

In the past decade, so rich in achieve

Ambassador Bryce, who speaks with

We are rather inclined to depreciate and

from a high and unbiased authority ought

AIN AND
Essentials for h Making of COnven-
tiOn Speeches.
Chicago Record-Herald.


Chicago Record-Herald.
There is, however. a lesson to be learned
from experience that may improve condl-
lions somewhat. and 1t is a lesson for the
orators. Great convention speeches have
not been inordinately long, and some OF
them have been distinguished by their
brevity. Think what IngersOll did with his
eulogy Of the "plumed knight" There was
the very model of an appeal based on the
personality OF the candidate, and 1t took
but few words. Bryan's famous speech at
the Chicago convention of 1896 was not
drawn out with endless details, but was a
notable example OF impassioned\ e%loquence
in behalf of a principle. Above all things
the orator must not be tedious, and the
best way to escape the danger is to take
up as little time as possible. The chance
Of making a reputation is atually Increased.
The e~poch-making man will find that it
serves his purpose; the man who wants to
make an epoch, but who couldn't under any
circumstances. is saved the humiliation OF
being reminded that he is an insufferable
bore.
We emphasize the lesson not SIS a justi-
fication OF rudeness In the audience, which
certainly deserves the sternest reproof
Thousands at the conventions feel the sense
Of shame over the discourtesy to which
speakers are subjected 1t is a sure sign
OF I'll breeding and reflects on the people
as a whole. But nothing is to be gained
by growing about the unknown hoodlums
In the crowd. and the orators must accept
conditions as they find them. Let them
learn wisdom from the deep and sincere
Joy that Is exhibited when a speech has
for its preface the crisp announcement
that II is 10 be short

Army and Navy Register.
Hon. Luke E. Wright of Tennessee will
succeed MI. Taft on July l as secretary of
war. As a young man he was a captain
in the confederate army. He is, one Of the
leading lawyers of the entire south. He
first definitely established his reputation
in the terrible days of the yellow fever
epidemic at Memphis, when he practically
made himself mayor Of the town and took
charge of all the relief measures, showing
what may justly be called heroic devotion
to duty and Indifference to his own life,
together with the masterful qualities of a
successful administrator in a great crisis.
He was himself struck down by the plague
he was fighting, but lived to see it
stamped out and himself take part in in
PRODUCING into Memphis the hygienic meas
ures which have since made it one of the
model health cities Of the world. He was
appointed by President Mckinley as one
Of the Philippine commission. and enjoyed
President McKinley's heartiest confidence,
being selected as one Of those southerners
who were in sympathy with his admins
tration. Under President Roosevelt he was
promoted first to be vice governor and then
governor of the Philippines, and was after
ward made the first ambassador to Japan.
In all positions he served with signal fidel-
ity and ability. and has been in hearty and
outspoken agreement with the administra-
ton In all its main policies.

usually large accumulation of reserves
in all the reserve cities and what
amounts almost to a glut of money in
the Interior banks. While the law in
