BREAKS ALL RECORDS

The work that was accom- plished by
the Lake superior court during the last
term broke all previous records. And
this is true in spite of the fact that
there were several cases which took up
doys of the courts time.
Part of the time there was court be-
ing held in the main courtroom before
a special judge. while Judge Virgil s.
Reiter was holding court in chamherk,
over another matter.
During the last term Judge Reiter
disposed of 179 civil cases. which is nine
more than were disposed of at the last
term of court. An idea may be had of
the business that is done by this court
when it is known that the Lake circuit
court does Well to dispose OF fifty civil
cases in a term.

m The Halls of Congress
BY TAv.
Special Washington Correspondence.


 .ssWhile in the west Senator Aldrich declared central government bank, if established, would be bank for the people. Buncombe! That IS misrepresentation pure and simple"
 Representative Oscar w. Gillespie of Texas, one of the most prominent members of the house committee on banking and currency, made the above statement today while discussing the pro- iect Senator Aldrich is campaigning for.
 sEThe advocates of central bank are not cor rectly representing the operations of the central banks of leading countries of Europe and are trying to saddle on this country central bank ing institution purporting to be modelled after those of other countries, but in reality entirely different from them.
 '"The bank Senator Aldrich is planning to set up is to be bank for banks, not one with which the people of the country can transact business. It will be solely bank of issue. It will not re- ceive deposits or make loans. In a time of crisis, the banks which have loaded themselves with securities, would be helped out by an issue of notes.
 ''The inference has been given the public that the idea of the proposed central bank in this country is to be taken from such institu- tons as the Bank of England, the Bank of France and the Bank of Germany Now, as a matter of fact, the Bank of England is not bankers bank. 1t does general banking busi- ness. The same is true of the Bank of France
 "Those banks stand between the other banks and the people, When Senator Aldrch was in England he was told by the heads of the leading British banks that their principal competitor was the Bank of England itself. In France Sen ator Aldrich was told that the Bank of France was not bank of banks, but that it did large share of its business directly with the people of France. When efforts were made to get the president of the Bank of France to say officially that the Bank of France was bankers bank and that the banks were its principal customers he refused to admit anything of the kind He said that while the banks did the larger share of the business with the Bank of France, yet that a highly important part of the business was transacted directly with the French people them selves
 ''As a matter of fact, where some time ago the Bank of France was doing about 70 per cent of its business with banks, it is now doing only about 60 per cent with the banks and the rest di- rectly with the people.
 " In contrast to modelling his central bank af- ter those of England and France, Senator Ald- rich would set up an institution vastly different -one that would have nothing to do with the people whatever"

APPAREL AND THE MAN

A clergyman dscoursing in Philadelphia upon the important topic of Choosing Husband, y advised his feminine hearers that they should look askance at men who display fastidious re- finement and elegance in their attire. He dwelt upon the relatively greater importance of moral excellence over sartorial appearance. That ad- vice may be accepted by the damsels of his flock so far as 1t goes, but the teacher of youth may fall into error in emphasizing too much the superiority of inward virtue to outward appear ance. Assuredly there is nothing essentially praiseworthy in sloveny attire, nor does vicious ness enjoy monopoly of purple and fine linen. Those who claim to have souls above the tailor, and who look upon those who devote a need of attention to attire as prone to worldliness, may profit by little self examination It may be that indolence is one cause of their disregard of af- fairs sartorial,
 Nothing can be more certain than that shab- biness Is not an external evidence of inward superiority in either intellect or soul. The un- kempt exterior is not sign of inward grace or stalwart mind Cleanliness may be next to god
 iness, but it fails to bear its testimony if hidden beneath rags. It is possible that the man well groomed may possess a character of superior morality and a mind of trained and acute activi- ty. The inference is not safe that to be well dressed indicates luxurious idleness. The birds are not fine because of their feathers but they are not finer when bedraggled. This well-m ing clergyman might find a profitable text in the advice of Polonius.

WEALTH AND TAXES

The taxation of large fortunes is the issue above all issues in the English parliamentary campaign. There are other acute questions such as extended home rule for Ireland, several propositions of labor legislation, system or public schools in place of church and parochial schools, and church disestablishment. But 1t IS the contribution to be levied by the state upon accumulated wealth that overtops all other top ics in interest, not alone Tn Great Britain, but throughout the civilized world The Liberal budget, rejected by the house of lords, would levy about $60,000,000 year upon incomes ex- ceeding $25,000 year. This proposition IS based upon the theory that the rich can and should pay larger share of the growing needs of government than the men of salaries, of wages, of professions, and of minor business The accumulation of capital has progressed in many nations. With its growth has spread the belief that large fortunes pay lower taxes, es- cape more public burdens, and enjoy more ad vantages and opportunities for adding unto themselves even more than is just and equitable to wealth more widely distributed in other forms
 If the proposed British taxes were levied in the United States, they would yield, it is cal cuated not much less than $150000,000 of rev enue year, and perhaps more If the Liberal plan goes through, and if the experiment is successful in yielding public income, checking the cumulative growth of fortunes and benefit ing the general condition of society, the inhu- ence of the example will make itself felt else where. The trusts and the corporations may not escape but public attention is likely to be diverted to the plan of levying special taxes upon those incomes in excess of the demands, not merely of comfort, but of reasonable luxury.

WHEN A MAN FEELS FOOLISH

Chicago justice has again set standard for the whole world Municipal Judge Goodnow, in a recent decision, has established precedent that should be heraded from the housetops. Man in his infrmities needs strong arm for protection, and Judge Goodnow rises to the oc- casion most valiantly.
 John W. Beers, of Marine City, Mich, was on the stand in suit by his prospective mother-in- law to recover the value of betrothal gifts. The adored one was Mrs. Mary Rose Burns. of Chi cago, and MT. Beers admitted that he and Mrs. Murns had been engaged It was at this stage of the proceedings that the judge came to the rescue of the unfortunate defendant and wit ness.
 Please repeat the words you used when pro- posing to Mrs. Burns!" shouted the cross-oues tioning attorney
 "Stop!" snapped the judge ''Never mind what he said. The court has been there and

cumstances.''
 Thus was mankind saved humiliation. Every widow and every woman of twenty summers can tell how foolish men are under similar condi- tions. And every man who can grow mus tache, and many youths who think they can, know how they have carefully rehearsed a speech and when the critical moment arrived all the wel-turned phrases were forgotten. The waiting maid listened to the stammered words, and had pleasant, or mayhap, unpleasant re- ply ready But why dwell on that? Better take the same viewpoint as the judge and draw the veil over the proceedings

WHEN SHE'S MOST BEAUTIFUL

At what age is woman the most beautifuls William Morris fixes it at forty, and, taking one consideration with another we have arrived at the conclusion that his decision was a very wise one. Personally one might incline to the opinion that the age at which woman is most danger ously attractive is thirty or thereabouts At that stage of existence, whether she is married or single, and always supposing she has grace of form, fair share of good looks, that she un- derstands something of the art of dressing, that she has lived in the world aud not in provincial town or country all her life, she can generally manage to outwit any girl. But we get step further in the science of attractiveness when we come to the woman of forty. Her personal at- fractions are no longer of the dazzling descrip- tion but for all she has charm which alone can be given by maturity, that wisdom which has been bought of experience and sympathy spring
 ing from knowledge that teaches us tolerance.
