There Is beginning to be comment
on the growing respectability of trade
in Germany. Time was when a man
of title was believed to soil his hands
by making money. The tradition can
hardly be insisted on, however, when
the kaiser himself has a business in
terest in the manufacture of terra cot
ia. From the old American stand
point it is much more honorable to get
money in trade or industry than to &C.
quire it by marriage; but it may be a
long time before European aristocracy
of any description sees the mercenary
marriage problem in its true light.

$24.77 each during the current year
in spite of the high tariff and the in
creased cost of living.
These facts became public through
the publication Of report by Comp

during the year increased to more
than $4,OOO,OOO,O0O. The average de
positor's account was $445.22, just
$24.77 above the average Of the year
before. There are 100000 more saw

a year ago, and the total Of the de

the year. These statistics, compiled
in the treasury for the second time in
the history of American banking, in

RENEW WAR ON HOUSE RULES
MANY SUPPORT MOVE TO CURB
SPEAKERS POWER.
Harmony Ia In Peril If Senior Mem
bers of Committees Do Not Get
Chairmanships.

Washington.-It is anticipated that
meets next month that the ques-
ton of taking away the speakers
power to appoint the committees will
be taken up and the matter fought to
a finish.
This time it is not unlikely that
the movement will receive the sup
port Of Speaker Cannon and his al
lies, inasmuch as the next assign
ments will be made by the Demo
Gratis.
interviews with Representatives
Murdoch of Kansas and Norris of Ne
braska indicate that they intend to
lose no time in reopening the fight
waged by insurgent Republicans last
session which reformed the rules and
deposed Speaker Cannon.
Some members of the house believe
that if the power to appoint commit
tees is taken away from the Demo
cratic speaker and handed over to the
house membership all hope of har-
mony in the Democratic ranks may
be abandoned.
On the other hand it is pointed out
that harmony also would suffer from
maintenance of the seniority rule,
as that rule would give to the south
the chairmanships of all of the great
committees and leave unrecognized
the new Democratic membership from
northern and western states. Under
the seniority rule the Craftsmanship
of the committee on ways and means
the most important of all, would 60
to Underwood of Alabama, unless
Champ Clark of Missouri, who is now
tho ranking minority leader, should
fail to capture the speakership.
