Trade reports for the second week In
January present some indications of in
creasing movements, though the aggre-
gate remains restricted. Wholesale
branches report increasing orders for
spring business, though close adhesion to
immediate wants continues to be the rule
In cotton manufacturing and leather
goods curtailment of output is factor
under consideration, accompanied with
shade more strength in prices. Retail
trade has largely resorted to clearance
sales at prices which. despite the dogma
of industrial magnates to the contrary.
have stimulated buying. In the shoe
market buyers have been present. and
increased orders are expected, though
not yet u.aterialized.

The Luxurious American.
Lewiston Journal.)

Our last years imports of luxuries re-
fleet the fact that we do not need all that
we think we need so very much as the
many things we absolutely require. For
example, in 1910 we spent $4S0O0.0OO for
diamonds and other precious stones. The
love of ornament we inherit from our
savage ancestors. When the Pilgrims
landed on Plymouth Rock and discovered
the indians, they found them covered
with agewgaws-their headgear for ex-
ample, was not unlike the present head
gear of women.l Last year we imported
Iaces and embroideries nearly 900

other luxuries we spent fabulous sums.
NJ all these IAuries are wasteful;
Sos-e gre useful in the sense of art. But
there is no doubt that it were better for
our people If we took less to ornament

4 HEAVENLY SECURITY.

touching eulogy to the memory of tie
dead than that written by Mrs. Lnndy
Ii. Harris, the weli-known southern
magazine writer, on the death of her
husband, who was a college professor
and a minister of the gospel and who
died at Nashville recently leaving
'2.35 in his purse, s116 in bank AMI
few books. The writer knew the de-
ceased as mem er Of the faculty Of
Emory college, in Georgia, and is in
position to appreciate the truth and
sincerity Of the inventory of his es-
ate filed by his widow, Mrs Harris
writes:
The major part Of his estate was
invested in heavenly securities. He
invested every year not less than ST..
200 in charity, SO secretly, so inoffen-
sively and so honestly that he was
never suspected of being a philanthro-
Osity. He pensioned an old outcast
woman in Barron county and an old
soldier in Nashville. He sent two
little negro boys to school and sup
ported for three years family of five
who could not support themselves. He
contributed anonymously to every
charity in Nashville; every old maid
interested in a benevolent object" re-
ceived Ills aid; every child he knew
exacted and received penny tolls from
his tenderness. He supported the
heart of every man w-o confided in
him with announcement and affection
He IL orally did forgive his enemies,
9nd he was ever recognized as one Of
the largest bondholders in heaven
If there is such thing as Heavenly
securities" the man who lives the life
Of I4undy II. Harris surely invests II
them beyond the possibility of finan-
cial panic or reverse. Such an estate
may not contribute to earthly com
forts or place ones name among the

agencies, but there comes a time

A BOOST FOR THE COMMISSION
PLAN.

The triumph of Mayor Tiedemal
and his party at the rolls in Savar-
nah in addition to being a great per
sonal victory for Mayor Tied.
eman, who has made that city a splen-
did chief executive, comes in the ma
ture of an Endorsement hy the voters
of Savannah of the new commission
form of municipal government, which
we have long believed would cure
most of the ills from which the cities
of this section of the country are suf-
fering. The platform of Mayor Tede-
the new plan of government for Sa.
vannah and since the voters 0f
that city have reelected him, it is
safe to predict that we will soon see
the Inauguration of that system in

in popularity all over the country
there can be no doubt. and that it is
giving general satisfaction seems to
be equally true.

of about four to one.
