assembled here to-day TO voice their
objections to certain sections Of tho
Giass-Owen currency bill now before
Congress and make suggestions for .
law which they hope will bring about

The conference was called by the Cur.

"efecting good currency legislation"
Arrangements were made for three
sessions to-day. and II 10 the hope Of
members Of the commission that by to-
morrow night recommendations for
amendments 10 the Glass-Owen measure
will be agreed upon which will make II
satisfactory to a great majority Of the
financiers Of the country.
There are four fundamental features
Of the bill to which the bankers Of the
country are almost unanimously op-
posed" said Mr.. Farnsworth. ''They are
the government control provision, the
reserve feature. the portion referring
to note issue by the Government and the
stipulation for the refunding OF the .
per cent. bonds. The ideas OF the asso-
citation bankers IN these scores are well
known. and II Is probable that their
acton will take the form Of resolutions
protesting against the Objectionable fes-
lures and suggesting amendments"

can hear the children clapping
Hidden in the misty morning
On the shores of Old Japan
can see the junk sail Tapping
Red with light that's ruddier dawning
On the SHOWS of Fuji San.
While the filmy haze is lifting
can see through many a rifting
Shaggy fir trees, little islands.
Like painted Nippon fan,
Like fan that's silver rounded,
For the bay Is sandy bounded
Stretching to the fiowery highlands
OF the heart of Old Japan.
Here are things that westerns share not.
Here business. time and haste compare
not
In the dull or in the clever
With the peace of mind of man.
Here with joy in mist and glamour
Droning chant and ringing clamor
Naked children play forever
Simple games of Old Japan.
Play on then till bats are dipping,
Till the shades of night come tripping
And your souls in dark are hidden,
Sweet Kodomo and Nesan.
For darker shade approaching
From the westward is encroaching,
Pressing onward unforbidden
Round the shores of Old Japan.
And while temple gongs are booming
BY pagodas dimly blooming
And by many an ancient tori
And by paper lanterns wan,
Progress comes with fingers stealing,
without mercy, without feeling,
Waiting but to grip your story:
Then they'll close 1t. Old Japan.

Undisturbed Over Tariff

In spite of the predictions that bust
ness would go to pieces in anticipation
of the passage of democratic tariff
bill, it is refreshing to note that the
country remains practically undis-
turbed even on the eve of the new
tariff bill being enacted into law.
In the iron and steel business there
appears to be marked activity. The
United States Steel corporation shows
an increase in its quarterly earnings
and the untitled orders on its books
are practically the same as those for
the same date last year. The export
trade is holding its own and all other
lines to which the cold statistics have
been applied developed no material
losses, and most of them show gains
over 1912.
1t would not have been surprising
to have seen losses when the govern
ment figures were finally given, for
a radical change in law which has
so direct bearing upon trade as that
affecting customs duties would seem
to warrant a waiting policy. But with
very little loss in volume of business
in only a few lines and substantial
gains in others proves that the coun-
try as whole is not alarmed over the
tariff.
As another evidence that the calam-
ity advertised by the republicans will
fail to come up to advance notices is
that failure Of the manufacturers of
the country to respond to the list of
questions sent out by the finance COM
mittee of the Senate in regard to their
industries and the probable effect of
the tariff upon their business. Out of
a total of $500 letters only 66 replies
have been received, and Senator La
Toilette, who originated the idea, ad-
mits the failure of his scheme.
With prospects of immense crops
and healthy trade the business men
of the country are not concerning
themselves about the tariff. The coun-
try has outgrown the necessity of
protection and the business people re-
alize it fully.

Business and statecraft

The Houston Post remarks that a
dago fruit peddler couldn't afford to
run his business like the southern
states do theirs. Certainly no legiti-
mate corporation could survive with
such cumbersome, inefficient and slip
shod methods.
Cleon B. Rogers, treasurer of JEFF
ferson county. says there are now out
standing claims against the county
fine and forfeiture fund to the
amount of $220,000, and each year the
total increases. If witness is sum-
moned and fails to appear, he is in
danger of fine or Imprisonment. If he
leaves his work and comes to court,
like a good citizen should do, he is
given a certificate upon which he re-
alizes practically nothing. As Mr..
Rogers says, ITO the casual observer
it would seem that the provisions of
the law are framed in the interest of
the script buyer rather than of the
witness"
H. Y. Brooke, state examiner of
public accounts, has been in Wash
ington checking the civil war rolls
with view of purging the Alabama
pension list. His work is far from
complete, but he has already learned
enough to estimate that each year the
state is defrauded of sums approx
mating 100000. The annual amount
paid to surviving Confederate veter-
ans is $1,250,000. So far Mr.. Brooke
has gone over the rolls of eight coun-
ties and has discovered that in them
about 800 illegal pensioners are draw
ing an average of SIS a year each.
System and efficiency are the
slogans of the modern commercial
world. Private enterprises are COM
PEELED to figure closely if they hope
to succeed. In time the state will learn
its lesson. But it will come at a stu
pendous price.

WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR SHIP


Theodore Dresser in the Century.
Before me was Fishguard and the Welsh
coast, and to my dying day I shall never
forget it. Imagine, if you please, land
locked harbor as green as grass in this
semi-cloudy, semi-gold bathed afternoon
with a half moon of granite scarp rising
sheer and clear from the green waters to
the low gray clouds overhead On its
top could see fields laid out in pretty
squares or oblongs, and at the bottom of
what to me appeared to be the east end of
the semi-circle was bit of gray scruff
which was the village, no doubt. On the
green water were several other boats
steamers, much smaller, with red stacks,
black sides, white rails and tunnels, bear
ing a family resemblance to the one we
were on There was a long pier extend,
ing out into the water from what took to
be the village and something farther in
land that looked like low shed.
This black hotel of ship, so vast so
graceful, now rocking gently in the en-
ameled bay, was surrounded this hour by
wheeling, squeaking gulls. [ always like
the squeak of a gull; it reminds me of a
rusty car wheel, and somehow it accords
with a lone. rocky coast. Here they were,
their little feet coral red, their beaks jade
gray, their bodies snowy white or sober
gray, wheeling and crying, My heart re-
members how" look at them. and that
old intense sensation of joy came back
the wish to fly, the wish to be young, the
wish to be happy, the wish to be loved. 1
think my lips framed verses, and L
thought that IL nature, in her vast sight
less chemistry, would only give me some
thing to feed this intense emotion to the
full, 1 should welcome eternal sleep.
But my scene, beautiful as it was. was
Slipping away. One of the pretty steam
ers l had note lying on the water some
distance away was drawing alongside-to
get mails, they said. There were hurry
ing and shufflng people on all the first
cabin decks.
Then the mail and trunks being off, and
the boat having veered away, another and
somewhat smaller one, came alongside,
and we first and then the second class
passengers, went aboard, and I watched
the great ship growing less and less as
we pulled away from it. 1t was immense
from alongside, q vast SkyScraper OF d
ship. At 100 feet it seemed not so
large, but exceedingly more graceful; at
thousand feet all it's exquisite lines were
perfect, its bulk not so great. but the
pathos Of its departing beauty wonderful;
at 1000 feet it was still beautiful and large
against the granite ring of the harbor;
but, alas! it was moving. The captain
was an almost indistinguishable spot upon
the bridge The stacks, in their way gor-
geous, took on beautiful proportions. L
thought, as we veered in near the pier and
the ship turned within its length or there
abouts and steamed out, had never seen
more beautiful sight It's convoy of
gulls was still about it. Its smokestacks
flung back their graceful streamers. The
propeller left white trail of foam.
