PRESIDENT WILSON SUMS
 UP BUSINESS PROSPECT,
"A Future Clear and Bright, With
 Promise of the Best Things"

Washington, Nov. 17-"A future clear and bright with promise of the best things was the way President Wilson summer up his view of the business prospect tonight in a letter to Secretary NIcAdoo of the traesury department congratulating him upon the opening of the new federal re- serve bank system.
 MT. Wilson referred to the new tariff law, the new currency law, the new trade commission law and the labor provisions of the new antitrust law as the means through which the soil has everywhere been laid bare, out of which monopoly is slowly to be eradi- cated. He added that ''undoubteu. y the means by which credit has been set free is at the heart of all these things: is the key piece of the whole structure
 The presidents letter, which was in reply to one from Secretary McAduo announcing the opening of the new reserve banks, said in part:
 ''The tariff has been recast with a view to supporting the government rather than supporting the favored beneficiaries Of the government. A system of banking and currency is sues has been created which puts credit within the reach of every man who can show a going business and the supervision and control of the system is in the hands of a responsl- ble agency of the government itself.

based. The districts selected handle nearly so per cent. of the nations ex- port trade, and the tabulation shows that the balance in favor of this coun- try on international trade stood last Saturday. at $32,9S2,214 for the first half of November. Imports last week totalled $25, ,71o,sSS.
 While the great improvement in ex- ports shown for the day. of last Sat urday by the daily telegraphic repoT ts which the treasury department receives from the ten big custom houses was not continued for yesterday. the aver age was considered good. Mondays figures were: Exports. $4.5S6,2 ,299; i'm ports, S4,442,690. The average daily exports in November. 1913, were sS,- 9s3. .426: imports, $4,92S,379. Figures on the November exports as to char acter and destination will not be ob-. tainable, as Secretary McAdoo ordered rnanifests of foreign bound shipping withheld from publication for periods of 30 days beginning Oct. 2s.
 It was stated at the commerce bu- reau that the increase in November exports probably would show bread stuffs and fresh meat still to be greater demand. while treasury depart ment officials believed cotton exports had so increased in the last two weeks that it now approached 15o,000 bales week.

MOONS ECLIPSE
IN A CLEAR SKY
Phenomenon, Only One of the
Year, Is Viewed by Many
Rock Islaiders.

Rock Islanders OF an astronomical
bent had excellent opportunity last
evening to observe the eclipse of the
moon, which will be the only one OF
this year. The lunar orb passed into
and out OF the shadow OF the earth
during a period when clouds were
few and at a time which made ii con-
venient to watch the phenomenon.
The eclipse was not total, but 81 per
cent of the surface was in the shadow
when at the maximum. II started at
$40 and ended at 1I:44. the middle
point being reached at 1913.
The shadow was first noted at the
lower or eastern and northern edge OF
the moon, moving toward the zenith.
When at the maximum only a thin
rim around the southern side remain
ed in full glow. the part cut OF from
the direct rays OF the sun giving a
soft light which made IL barely visible.
While little scientific importance
was attached TO the eclipse. astrono-
mers generally were at their tele-
scopes while IL was in progress.

the family exchequer. In 1890 he en-
tered Holy Cross college, doing the
four years course In three years and
graduating well UP in his class.
1t was his ambition TO study law,
but he lacked the funds, so for year
he worked at various things until he
had accumulated sufficient money to
enable him to enter the law school OF
Boston university. Then, although he
was compelled to do outside work in
order to pay his way, he graduated
with honors for his scholarship. while
his class made him president and class
orator
A few months later he was admitted
to the bar, and he opened Offices in
Leominster and Clinton. Friends Of
fered him positions in large Boston
law Offices, but he declared that he
would have to start for himself sooner
or later, and the sooner the "starva-
ton period" was over the better off
he would be. Besides. everybody in
the two towns knew him, and he con:
sidered that acquaintance an asset.
In 1900. three years after his admis-
sion to the bar. he was elected to the
legislature from a district strongly re
publican. In the house he was a
sturdy fighter. The following year he
was reelected by an increased major
ity. Then he decided to retire TO priv
ate life, attend to his business, for,
though there were rich pickings" on
Beacon Hill in those days, Walsh was
one of the men who left at the end of
each session poorer that at the begin
ming.
He was still in politics, however, TO
the extent OF stumping the state for
others. and in 1911 he was drafted TO
run for lieutenant governor against
Robert Z. Luce, who defeated him.
Two years ago he turned the tables
on Luce, winning by over $4,000. Last
November he was elected governor,
although Massachusetts is generally
republican.

Boston, Mass, March 12.-David
Walsh, the new governor of Massa-
chusetts, has just won distinction by
refusing an. increase in salary. The
salary of the governor has been $4,000,
but the legislature recently voted to
increase it to $4,000. Governor
Walsh has just sent special message
to that body declining the increase
because he feels he was elected to get
the former salary and that his election
was a contract with the people for
that remuneration.
Refusing real money when 1t is Of
fered him is not the only way in
which the governor differs violently
from the majority OF his predecessors.
Mr. Walsh is the first bachelor to oc-
cupy the governors chair in more than
a generation, and he is the first COM
municant OF the Roman Catholic
church to be governor since colonial
days. Also he is the first executive
of the Bay state in many years who
since boyhood has been compelled to
fight his way alone.
In his IL years Governor Walsh has
had no time and small opportunity to
amass a fortune. Most of his imme-
date predecessors in office were men
OF means. Foss. Douglas. Crane and
Guild being In the millionaire class,
while Ex-Governor Bates, while not a
rich man. is comfortably well off. To
