|C. s. HAM[|N ASSUMES
| TREASURY POSITION
Succeeds Assistant Secretary
Curtis, Who Retires to Prac-
tice Law in Boston.

James F. Curtis, assistant secretary OF
the Treasury, in charge of customs fol-
nearly four years. retired today. giving
place to his successor, c. S. Hamlin, who
was also one of Mr.. Curtis predecessors
in office. having filed the post under
President Cleveland.
The swearing in of Mr.. Hamlin was
performed in the rooms of Secretary Nc
Adoo, at 10 o'clock this morning. Chief
Clerk Wilmarth administered the oath
in the presence of all the administrative
officials and heads of bureau of the
Treasury Department.
Secretary McAdoo was first to con-
graduate his, new aid. Assistant Secre-
taries Sherman Allen and J. S. Williams
also felicitated him. In the reception
that followed Assistant Secretary Ham
lin was introduced to the heads OF
bureau. Among those who attended the
ceremony was Senator Gore of Okla
homa.
Mr. Hamlin knew many Of those who
shook hands with him from his former
experience in the same position he now
holds. He renewed acquaintance with
those whose faces he recognized, and his
recognition was ready.
Mr. Curtis expects to pass one or two
months in recuperation at Manchester,
the fall he will enter the practice Of law
in Boston, his home city. He has been
assistant secretary of the Treasury for
three years and eight months.
The reorganization of the customs serv-
ice is considered as the pre-eminent
achievement Of Mr.. Curtis. This result
ed in the consolidation of 162 customs
collection districts into forty-nine dis
tricts thereby abolishing 113 presidential
offices, and such ports as were being run
at total loss because Of the absolute
lack of customs and navigation business.
The reorganization also abolished the fee
system of compensation for collectors of
customs, under which they were paid in
twenty-seven different ways, and placed
all of these officers on fiat salary basis,
thus eliminating the complex bookkeeping
necessary in keeping their accounts.
It also abolished the privilege enjoyed
by collectors along the Canadian border
to sell blank forms, the proceeds of which
sales accrued to them, and Of which they
made no accounting to the department.

Curtis Establishes Reforms.

Some collectors under the old system
received as high as $4,000 or $4,000 a
year from brokers. railroads and others
having interests adverse to the govern
ment The consolidation taken as a
whole has resulted in much more eff
cient and less expensive service. the total
saving being in the neighborhood of $780,
600 per annum.
Mr.. Curtis, together with Appraiser
Bird of New York. instituted what Is
known as the classification and value re-
ports Under this system various sam
pies of merchandise. together with the
classification and value placed upon them
by the appraising officers at the various
ports, are transmitted to the appraiser at
New York, and the practice Of these
ports in this regard is compared with the
practice at New York, and an agreement
as to the correct classification, ETC., is
reached, and thus much greater uni
formity in this respect has resulted.
Mr. Curtis directed and supervised the
complete revision of the general draw
back regulations.
During his term he has had some part
in directing the investigation and settle
ment of the famous sugar fraud cases.
as we'll as numerous other cases arising
from undervaluations and other frauds

THOMPSON MAKES FIRST SPEECH

Senator Thompson's IS set speech on
the pending tariff bill, given early
last week, was his maiden effort at
oratory in the senate. Most of the
senators were in their seats so that
the junior senator from Kansas had
good audience. The speech appear
ed to make a good impression on
the senator's Democratic colleagues.
1t at least set at rest all doubts as
to what his attitude might be toward
the pending measure. The senator
asked at the outset that he be not
interrupted during his talk, so that
he was allowed to complete his speech
without a break. He gave opportun-
ity for questions at the close of his
talk, but none were forthcoming.
Congressman Geo. A. Neeley was
kept from his activities on the floor
of the house by the serious illness of
his little daughter the early part of
the week, and was granted a three
days leave of absence by the house.
Mr.. Neeley was able to attend the
sessions of the banking and curren-
cy committee the latter part of the
week, when final consideration of
the Glass currency bill was being had
Barton County democrat., 1913-09-12
OF COURSE.

Victor Murdock, being a born jour
nalist, has the gift Of telling an en-
tirely unalarming fact in a very start
ling way. He exercised it recently
when he declared that the Glass cur
rency bill should be called a bill to
abolish the United States treasury.
He made this still more startling by
saying that under the bill hundreds Of
millions of dollars now in the vaults
at Washington would in one year af-
ter the passage of the bill be shipped
to all parts Of the country.
Well, what of it?
If Mr.. Murdock had been trying
merely to explain the bill he could
have said that the government is to
change its method Of handling its
funds. Those funds, or a large part
Of them, are now locked IN the vaults
of the treasury. Under the new me
thod they will be deposited to the
credit of the government in the re
gional banks.
In the sense that the treasury is a
place where money is kept the treas
ury will be abolished, but the treas
ure will be as carefully guarded as
ever. THE new method is that fol
lowed by other nations. The British
government deposits its funds in the
Bank of England, a private institu
tion. The American practice will b'
similar except that the regional art

HALL-cHADp.

At nine O'Clock last Wednesday
morning, September 3rd, every avail
able seat in St. Francis Xavier's
church; in Seward, was occupied to
witness the marriage ceremony CT
one Of the prettiest weddings of the
season.
The happy couple were Mr. John
J. Hall, of st. John, and Miss Ruth
May Rose Chadd, of Seward. Mr..
Joseph NJ. Hall, brother of the groom
was best man, and Miss Martha A.
keenan,, cousin of the bride, acted as
bridesmaid. Mr.. James keenan, Jr.
and his sister, Margaret, were also
in. attendance. Marie Chadd, the
little sister of the bride, carried a
beautiful boquet of flowers. The GER
.emony performed, the pastor, the
Rev. James ]. Barry, said the Nup-
tial Mass at the end of which he ad
dressed few words to the newly
married couple, reminding them that
marriage is not only a contract for
life, but moreover, a sacriment insti-
tuted by Jesus Christ.
After the congratulation ceremOn-
les, Father Barry and quite a num-
ber Of the relatives and friends of
the bride and groom betook them
selves to the brides home for break
fast and a veritable banquet await
ed them, and with music and song
the day was very pleasantly spent.
The bride, who, by the way, was or
ganist in the Seward church for a
number Of years, played numerous
and very appropriate selections.
At the wedding dance that night all
the young folks enjoyed themselves
to the full extent. The music was
furnished by a Great Bend orches-
ira.
3 The bride and groom were the re-
cipients of many useful and costly
presents.
The bride wore a sky blue MESA
line dress with white chiffon over
dress. Her wreath was of orange
blossoms from which hung the brid-
al veil. To match the dress she wore
sky blue satin slippers. Sky blue silk
dresses with Oriental net over dress
-es were worn by the bridesmaids.
The happy young couple are at
home to their many friends on the
Hall home near st. John.
Both Mr.. Hall and his youthful
bride are very popular in Stafford
county, and they carry with them the
good wishes Of all who know them.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Koch Jr. we're
up from Comanche township Tues
day on shopping trip and for Wis
it with their many friends. Mr.. Koch
is one of the leading poultry fanciers
of the state and each year raises sew
eral hundred fine birds, and he has
probably won as many prizes at poul-
try shows as any other breeder in the
state. This year on account Of hav-
ing an unusually large amount of 9th
er business to look after in the spring
they did not raise quite as many as
usual, but what they lack in guam
tity is more than made up IN quality,
as Gus says he never raised finer
bunch Of birds than this year. He Is
specializing on Buff 0rpingtons but
also raises other varieties, and is go-
ing to have a big showing of the
former at the Hutchinson State Fair
next week and will also make exhi-
bits at the Barton County and other
fairs in this part of the state. Gus
is one of the farmers who is really
wishing it would rain, for he has not
been able to prepare any Of his
land for wheat yet. He says if We
get a good rain within the next few
days he will turn in with number
Of listers and prepare some Of the
ground yet, but if it stays dry ne is
inclined to think that the only wheat
he will put in will be in his corn land
He had out about. forty acrs Of corn
this year, and had a good example
of the benefits Of listing the corn
ground the previous fall and then
splitting the ridges in the spring.
One day last fall while Mr.. Koch was
away from home, the man who was
working for him started to list on
one side of a field that he desired
to leave for corn, and listed there ur-
til Gus came home at noon and told
him of the mistake. This spring the
rest of the corn field was all well
disced before listing, but the only
part of the field that made any corn
was the few acres listed by mistake,
which will yield about fifteen bush
els to the acre, while the balance Of
the field only made fodder. Gus says
he has about 400 shocks Of good fod-
der, besides alfalfa and plenty OF
good straw, and has old corn enough
to last for another year, so is well
fixed to get his stock through the
winter in good shape, but he says he
wishes he had back that 1000 bush
els of corn that he sold at forty cents
per bushel just before harvest.

Nelson isn't minding the failure Of

ly as many Of the Barton county farm
ers, for he has enough old corn on
hand to last him for another year,
and thinks he will also have plenty
Of hay and other roughness to car
~ his stock through the winter in
good shape. He is Of the opinion
that the failure of the wheat crop in
this section Of the country this year
is not going to hurt the country half
as bad as some people imagine. The
farmers who took care Of their mon
ey during the good years are able to
stand failure, and he says that 1t
will teach the others to be more care.
full in the future, and if they will
take the lesson the failure may prove
to be a good thing after all.
