PROGRESS OF THIS COUNTRY.

With the growth of the country in population during the past decade there has been d far greater develop ment in production, commerce and finance. The country has bounded ahead in these avenues a great deal faster than it has in population, and 1t has been accomplished and shows results within the country The sta tistical bureau, of the United States shows that in the decade from 1902 to 1912 there was an increase of 20 per cent. in population. With that as a convenient basis of determining the relative growth of certain of the other conditions, the figures show that mon , ey in circulation hsG grown from $2,249, ,390,55 in 1902 to $3,276, 7S6,613 in 1912. an increase of 46 per cent. The loans and discounts of national banks have grown in that ten-year period from $3.221, S5s, ,631 to $5,953, ,9o4,- 432, an. increase of S5 per cent. De. poslts in savings banks jumped from $2,050, ,104, 4S6 to $4,212, 5e3,5s9 in nine years. or an increase of 60 per cent,
 In the export line, thls country has done a steady. increasing business. showing gain of 50 per cent. while the exportation of manufactures in creased 125 per cent. This is an ex- cellent argument for the continuance of the present protective system of government On importations of mer- chandise a gain. of S3 per cent. was shown, and on imports free of duty a gain of 122 per cent. is shown. This state of affairs without the benefits of | protection to the manufacturing plants and the workmen indicate where the foreign markets would quickly be op- erating to the detrimcnt of the Ameri- 1 can laboring man

NEW COMBS.

Among hair ornaments the new comb stands out conspicuously, as it com pines several features of utility and adornment that ascribe to it a place quite by itself. Designed to be worn vertically on the back of the head as 8 beautiful, scintillating, jeweled line in the soft coll of hair, 1t may also De worn horizontally, when the style of hairdressing demands a change; or again, it is charming across the front as a bandeau. For all three purposes it is admirably adapted because of it's light weight, peculiar construction and delicate beauty. For, while the orna- ment itself is broad, the decoration at the top is slender and lacy; it is curv ed to conform to the shape of the head, and the teeth contribute their share to the general satisfaction as they are short and curved so that they may be comfortable and may also serve to hold the hair in place, thus obvi- ating entirely the annoyance of the skipping out" or loosening that is characteristic of the usual comb. The slant of the teeth at the bottom adds to the ease at the base of the head, since, when properly placed, the short teeth come just at the narrowing to- ward the neck.

THE RIGHT OF PETITION.
Commercially

Commerclal-Appeal
Officials of the postoffice depart
ment are in happy frame of mind
A bill has been introduced in con-
gress which gives them ray of hope
While it lis the general appropriation
bill and provides for an extension
OF the parcels post delivery, it also
gives to employees of the depart
ment the right to petition congress.
Such right has heretofore been de-
MED. For six years or more postal
employees have chafed under severe
rules. For violation of these rules
postoffice officials have been given
the right to suspend or dismiss the
derelicts. One of the men dismiss
ed started weekly paper devoted
to the interests of the department
and the men in the postal service.
In this paper he kept up, single
handed, an agitation against the
rules forbidding employees from Pc
titioning congress for redress of any
grievance.
The fact that one man was instru-
mental in having the law amended
shows the power of the press. Start
ing in an humble way, probably
through the spirit of revenge, this
man each week wrote clearly and
forcibly against the unjust law which
denied the right Of appeal or petit
ton. Water dropping ON a stone will
wear the hard substance away These
weekly attacks finally forced public
attention. He did not demand the
repeal of the law, but he clearly ex-
planned why it should be repealed,
and his arumgent was effective.
