NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY

By T. ]. Edwards

In my long experience I'm the IN
ancial world | have known Just one
instance when bank refused 10 &C
cept United States government
bonds as security for loan. have
known times in panic days when a
man who possessed millions Of gov
eminent bonds could not borrow n
dollar. even though he offered these
bonds as security. But that was not
because the banks discredited his
bonds. but because money could not
be obtained upon any terms no mat
ter what the security was"
This was laid 20 me by the late
Charles = Cox. who for many years
was one OF the chief executive Of
ficers IN the financial department OF
the Vanderbilt railroad systems anu
earlier In life was associated with
Daniel Drew In the banking business.

1T was at time when there was
good deal OF disturbance in the

derbilt would put up government
bonds reasonably margined as col

After an hour or two the agent
returned and told Dir. Vanderbilt
that he had arranged for a loan
Thereupon Mr.. Vanderbilt went q

Miss Adams expressed herself as

Asked II the women of her State
would vote as women voters or would
align themselves with the various po-

I'VE will not as women voters re-

The new law cannot be successfully admins

Now, my boy. no man really re.
CARDS himself as entirely unworthy OF
the respect of his fellow-man. "Um-
BILE" persons like Heep are hypoerites
And generally the man who deserves
the praise and admiration of others
for his individual accomplishments is
fglad to have them, provided they be
given delicately and with reserve. To
put them on thick and heavy like ire
acle or honey onE a childs piece of
bread, is, my son; unpalatable.. r.
There is, a general impression that
the modest man is devoid of a desire
for praise; that he, cares not what
his fellow-man thinks of him, but, my
boy, this is not So He does. He is
only wiser than his fellows; he has
learned lesson or two from the study
of men. He may love adulation and,
in his own way. court favorable words,
but he makes good use of his expert
ence: il is his Barometer. OF his own
yain-glory he is as careful as the
maiden of her "snow-white breast
knowing how much tbs best to
show"
He lets his work commend itself.
That is legitimate, acceptable, uncom-
promising, impersonal, and can be
used as well as an advertisement in
the paper The reason for this is, my
son, that the best of man passes into
his work; he Is reincarnated in it.
In our country particularly, my boy,
a man is taken at his value; he passes
for what he can do, SO that extinsic
credentials are worth less perhaps

FAR TRIAL FOR THE DIRECT PRIMARY

IS very serious and important question as to

The question is upon the fairness and the eff
.tIireness Of such policy
The direct primary is a method of nomi-
