NEW LONDON. Csnn.. juno IL
In an address to-day before the New

convention here. Frank A. vsnderlip.
President Of the National City Bank
Of New York. analysed the business
situation. holding that 1t had become
dependent upon political rather than
economic factors.
In part he accepted President VIII
sons diagnosis Of q Psychological"
trouble In business.
He described the standards that
used to prevail in the judging-of the
business future-statistics Of produc-
ton and distribution. condition OF the
money market, and Of credit and crop
outlook.
Now" he said, the Congressional
Record Ii crowding out OF its place
Of Importance the Financial Chronicle.
We watch Executive and Congres-
donal actions rather than the Comp
troller's Abstract to gauge the status
Of banking affairs. The attitude Of
mind of the Interstate Commerce
Commission has become moro impor-
tant than the statistics Of railroad

"A survey Of concrete business con-
ditions with such facts and totals a.

have been sufficient ground ten years

II believe II business men will get
themselves into state Of mind where
they view conditions broadly. with a
historical and social sense, rather
than only from their individual point
of view. they will apprehend better
the direction in which the whole cur
rent of political thought Is flowing.
and will feel less impatient with this
legislative movement and vastly less
pessimism concerning its results.
TT seems to me time that we recog-
nized and caught step with this wider
spirit. and then endeavor to direct
the movements which II has set In
motion, rather than to obstruct Its
expression, which finds a form in new

CITY HUMANE SOCIETY

An interesting meeting of this
beneficial organization was held at
the city council chamber Monday af-
ternoon. Present were the officers
of the organization, Mr.. F. E. Har-
ris. president, Mrs. D. NJ Smith. Sec
rotary and treasurer, Mrs. B. T. Per-
due, Councilmen Hunter and knight
Mr. T. T. Munroe, Rev. ]. G. Glass
and some other friends of the So
ciety.
The principal subject of discussion
was the plan for the city to provide
hitching posts for the teams of the
country people Such an institution
is very necessary, TO give the country
folks place to shelter their horses
from sun and rain, with racks for
food and troughs for water. It is
hoped by the society that the city
will give them a place for the need
ed shelter on one Of the city lots
Another improvement that the So
ciety desires to make is central
station for city hacks, with shelter
from the weather and a telephone
This would enable the people 10 OBJ
tain hacks much more easily and
would keep the horses from standing
on the streets in the sun or rain
when not needed.
