possible to have the hat, gowns and
pOcnetbOok meet each other and still
remain on speaking terms.
So often a woman goes into the shop
without having fully decided upon the
price she wishes to pay for the things
that she wants. This is rather I'M
wise, for, once in the shop, surround
ed by tempting display, she is apt

erwards.
The charming old lady told me that
she always knew just what she could
pay for the articles desired and went
no further. If the price was higher
than planned for and the article nee
essary, she would get what she could
afford, of the best, and defer other
pay for them.
This same plan can be followed in
the household. There are many young
brides here who, by going easy and
keeping strict accounts, are able to
keep their living expenses below $S5
month. The method employed by
one of them is that of apportioning
her household allowance on the first
OF the month and living within this
allowance. If the sum allowed for
vegetables runs low she makes up
something that will serve as well as
the vegetables themselves. Then, too
when she goes to market to buy her
supplies, she carries with her a care
fully made out list, and does not leave
town until she has crossed everyone
of the items off that list. This little
woman has her own personal allow
ance, also, and though it comes from
the same source. as the other, If she
finds shq must borrow from the
household" as she calls it, she is
just as particular about paying back
that debt on the first of the next
month as she would be if she were in
debt to downtown store. When she
first told the writer how economically
she lived, the impression was formed
that she must either stint herself or
that she was exaggerating a wee bit.
However, when she showed some of
the dainty little menus that she had
prepared and the way in which she
kept her little set of books, the last
doubt was swept away. "Just think"
said she; "if our income were cut
down to a hundred dollars a month
We could still live comfortably.
OF course, this method requires IN
telligence and care, and the young
woman in question has gone about
her housekeeping in the same spirit
that young business man goes to
work to build up big establishment.

standard with extra measure thrown

While football and other heroes are

EXPECT OLD PARTY RECRUITS
Renews Demand That Courts Shall Carry Out the Will of the People and Condemns the Chi
 cago Conventions Action.

Chicago, Dec 11.-Theodore Roose- welt made it plain that the program of the Progressive party does not con template making terms with the Re publican party as a party. He said in effect that the new party had come to stay and expected eventually to at tract to its banner the Progressives who still give allegiance to the Re- publican and Democratic organiza- tions.
 As to leadership, Col. Roosevelt said the events of the next year or two could be trusted to develop the best men, who must be chosen without def erence to their own desires but solely with regard to the needs of the peo- pie
 Progressives in congress and in the state legislatures were urged to get together and push progressive legisla- ton, but they were also counseled to support legislation that would carry put the principles of the new party, regardless of what party might intro duce it.
 Addressing the Progressive national committee and other leaders, Roose- welt congratulated them on what had been accomplished in the short time since the party was organized and gave hope for the future He did not refer to the outcome of the campaign, but dwelt briefly on the action of the Chicago convention.

 The testimony followed the exposi- ton of clearing house operations giv- en by witnesses from Baltimore, Phil adelphia and Pittsburg.

 It was declared that the Pittsburg clearing house is being sued by three banks which refuse to accede to a rule arbitrarily fixing the rate of in- terest to be charged by all banks be- longing to the association, prohibiting solicitation of depositors by offers of interest on open checking accounts, and. in effect, limiting the clientele of banks
 Attorney Untermeyer drew from President Wardrop of the Pittsburg clearing house that his bank was making from 22 to 23 per cent year. Profits of the New York Clearing House association members, it was expected today would also be delved into.
 How so per cent of the clearing house associations of the country are organized as part of the American Bankers association was also brought out by former Vice-President c. A.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Reputed domination of banks by clearing house associaticns-an alleged monopoly of fnance-was brought out in more viv- i'd detail at the money trust investiga- tion by the Pujo committee of the house
 The committee searchlight turned to the New York clearing house.
 President w. E. Frew and other members of the New York clearing house were scheduled to take the wit ness stand when the hearings were resumed
 Millions of dollars were represent ed by the committees array of wit nesses-sleek, quiet, well-dressed bankers.
 The hearings were transferred from the comparatively dingy and cramped banking committee room of the house to a large marble-lined room in the house office building used last session by the steel trust and Lawrence, Mass, strike investigation commit tees.
 Samuel Untermeyer, attorney for the Pujo committee. proposed to probe into the influence of the New York clearing house, especially as af- fecting the "clearances" of banks from other cities.

Grey Hints That Further Objection May Be Made to "Trust-Owned Ship" Provision-U. s. Secre-

Washington, Dec. 11-With the for maj presentation of Great BritainS protest against the Panama canal bill. Secretary Knox got down to a careful study of the objections raised by Sir Edward Grey in the lengthy note transmitted by Ambassador Bryce.
 The British minister for foreign af- fairs, passing his principal objection on the proposal to relieve all Amer ican shipping from paying canal tolls, either by eXempting it from charges or remitting the tolls paid, contends that section of the law is in violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and pro

May Have Further Protest.

Minister Grey also touched on the provision against trust-owned ships and gave notice that if that were to apply to ships of all nations Great Britain might desire to supplement her protest further.
 Now that the proposal for arbitra- tion has been squarely presented, the means by which the question might be presented to The Hague are a center of interest. The existing arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain expires by limitation next June.
 If the controversy were to be de- layed until then, there would be no treaty under which the dispute might be arbitrated. In any case, a special agreement approved by the senate would be required before the dispute could be referred to The Hague, and there is a variance of opinion as to whether a majority of the senate would permit the case to go there.
 Several senators, among them those considered the best lawyers in the up- per house of congress, have declared that the United States surely would lose it's case at The Hague.
 Meanwhile Secretary Knox will pre- pare reply to the British note It will be of the same friendly tone as was Minister 'Greys communication. entirely lacking any elements of bel ligerency.

Rum Seller Asks Pardon.

At last we have, in this regime of
ridicule and abuse of law, tangible ev-
idence that Jail teaches legal and
moral responsibility.
An PASSPORT man convicted Of per-
sistent violation of the prohbitory
law, was committed to Jail in January
on an aggregate sentence of II
months. He demands pardon by the
Governor and Council. even as the
Somerset rum seller was pardoned. He
claims that he now sees the wrong he
has done in violating the laws of the
State: that he is reformed man.
and that he will never again engage in
the sale of intoxicating liquors.
We presume that he means he will
consider no official encouragement
sufficient to start him in violation of
the law, for he gives as an excuse for
his offense that he violated the law at
time when public sentiment in East
port strongly favored tho open sale Of
liquor in that place.
This certainly ought TO appeal to
the tender mercies of the Governor
and Council Here is an acknowl-
edged victim of their denunciation of
law and persistent and loud proela-
nations, from Maine to the MISSISSIPPI
pi. that the prohibitory law cannot be
enforced.
This mans petition says that he be-
lieyes he has been punished enough.
1t is up to the Governor and Council
to say in whose opinion they have the
most conference.-the court or the
prisoner. If they admit the prisoners
claim that Democratic encouragement
of law violation was partly to blame
for this mans Incarceration, then they
should liberate him. If they believe
that yiolators of law wilfully take the
provisions made for protection of com
munities into their own hands be-
cause it is easier to live that way,
then they should uphold the action Of
the court.
Pardon viii mean tentative admis-
sion of temporarily disturbed con-
science. Let us see.
