GLYNN ON LOAN SHARK LAW.
Special Revision Message Condo N nj
Lcv..BrOOks statute.

ALBANY, Jan. l9.-The Governor sent 20
tho Legislature this evening special
message suggesting changes in the law
relating to the small loan business.
Tho Levy Brooks law. SAYS the mes
sage. merely l.galzes the very evils II
sought to eliminate" and through SO
called investigation charges permits "a
rate of interest OF l24 TO go per cent,
a year. The Governor suggests revision
along these lines:
First that the small loan business Is
a necessary business and should be rec
ognized as such.
"Second. that the first essential to the
regulation Of small loans Is that the rate
Of interest should be no greater than that
which permits II reasonable return 10
those engaged IN this business.
'Third. that instead OF making II DIFF
ficult to secure small loans the Legis-
lature should endeavor to make matters
easy for those who urgently need tenn
porary accommodation.
Fourth, that the scandalous conditions
under which usurious lenders have beer
able to extort interest out OF all proper
ton to the loans made should be i'm
medately changed.
Fifth. that Il criminal prosecution al
well az IA fine should be made the penalt,
for violation of the small loan law,
sixth, that the state supervisor o
not only to enforce the law hut to dis
cover in tho first instance whether th'
, law is being violated.
Seventh. that II IL for tho best inter
ests OF employer and employee that tn
employer be notified whenever an EN-
ployee Is obliged to hypothocate part o
his future wages for temporary loan
Eighth. that some means should b
found to provide evidence OF all trans
actions under the small loan law so tina
| violations may be Immediately detected
| and easily prosecuted
! ninth, that all charges over and abov
interest, such as charges for inrestiEa
ton OF the applicant for loan. shall b

"There is no justice so real "a tina

SYNOD OPPOSES SALOONS
Commits Presbyterians to Candidates

Erie, Pa, Oct 24.-In the closing
hours of its session in this city the
Presbyterian Synod of Pennsylvania
went on record yesterday as requesting
tne members of the Presbyterian
churches of the State to support such
candidates at the coming election as
are opposed to the sale and manufae-
ture OF liquor and favor the enactment
of laws that favor moral uplift.
A large amount of business was
transacted in the closing hours Of the
session, included in which was the
hearing of large number of reports Of
standing and special committees.
The Synod also passed resolutions
commencing Judge Criswell, of Venan.
so county, for his action in refusing
to issue any liquor licenses.
An echo of the old Waddel case. of
Philadelphia, was heard yesterday when
the Rev. J. w. MaCallum, of Plhiladel-
Ehia, objected to the action of the
Philadelphia Presbytery in the case of
the Rev. D. Alexander WaddelI, claim
ing that it had not been severe enough.
Afterward he withdrew his objections
and the action of the PHILADELPHIA
Presbytery was approved.

Our florists have been modest about
their achievements. but they have ac-
complished marvels. When bulbs and
stocks have been imported it has not
been because we are not able to raise
just as beautiful effects here as any
where in the world, but because we
have been willing to exchange our
plants and ideas with others. We ex-
port almost as many flowers as we
import and We have every diversity of
soil and climate in our broad land that
is needed to perfect horticulture or
Horticulture.
You will find a wealth of bulbs to
select from in any seed store, and each
will be marked with name and color,
SO you can plan to have your lawn
stared with bright blossoms as soon as
winter goes.
If you have iris, make hedge of it..
1t does well in rich soil mixed with a
little sand, and it will spread so that
it will be servieeable, as well as de-
lightful to all who see it.
Narcissus and jonquils have so much
individuality that they should not be
planted too close together; three inches
deep and twelve inches apart is right.
Tulips may go into the ground to a
depth of four inches and about four
inches apart. Crocus bulbs are lovely
when not more than two inches deep,
but they must have litter of straw or
leaves over them if you have very cold
weather. The dainty little snowdrop
should grow in clusters among the cro-
Gus and two inches depth is right for
them also.

In the October Garden

The love of flowers is one of those
few earthly pleasures that age cannot
wither. Dean Hole.
If you give your garden the right
sort of care this fall you will have bios
SONS in the early spring and success
sion of blooms that will last until frost
comes again.
This is the time to make ready the
new beds and to cover the roots of your
perennials with stray mixed with
manure or with leaves and mating If
the roots are kept warm and dry they
will be strong and ready for work with
the first approach of warm weather
The locality has much to do with
garden work this month; in some places
the perpetual roses are still in full
bloom and farther north frost has put
stop to this seasons growth. But
wherever you live, if your yard and
garden are to do credit to your house
this is the month to plan for spring
flowers.
The Holland bulbs that are extra
lovely to us because they come so
early should be put into the ground
now.
A horrid report has been started, and
is given credence by many, to the eff
feet that on account of conditions
abroad there will be no importation of
Dutch tulips, hyacinths and ionquils
this year and that our gardens must
suffer. This is ridiculous. American
bulbs have won blue ribbons at inter
national floral shows for years. Made
in America" is the best recommepda.
