HAGERTY PICKED AS HIGH
CAPTAIN; FERNANDEZ OUT
Gary Quintet Is Next Team on the
Schedule-Steel City Has Rapid
Aggregation.

Clement Hagerty, 10. was elected
captain OF the high school basket ball
squad, at the school Monday morning,
TO succeed William Fernandez. who
has been declared Ineligible 10 COM
pete this semester. This Is Hagerty's
first year on the squad as IL is also
that OF every man on the team, with
the exception Of Bacon, who gave him
close run for the captaincy honor.
Hagerty is one CT the steadiest men
ton for the locals and is always reli-
able on shots close 10 the basket He
Is able TO hold his own with any OPP
ponent and is valuable man IN
scrimmage.
Hard luck in basket shooting and
an injury 10 the nose Of Whiteman is
attributed as the cause of the locals
defeat by Lafayette last Saturday.
An extraordinarily hard swat on the
"beak" put Whiteman out of the
game for about five minutes and when
he went back he could not hit his
usual stride. South Bend was out
playing Lafayette at the time but the
rest enabled the dCwnstate squad 10
pull comeback and they rang up
three baskets in the last five minutes.
Gary will be the opponents Of the
local five next Saturday night ct the
Y. NJ. {. A and reports are circulating
In the local hangOut that they have
one of the best teams in their school
history. II South Bend travels along
at her present speed she should ex-
perience little trouble in taking the
measure Of the steel city lads.

Bowling League.

The on'tgiveadams" will enter a
new field of endeavor this afternoon.
This charming anvil organization has
found that exercise OF the body as well
as the tongue is necessary 10 good
health and although there is much OBJ
lection on all sides the tslvea-
dams" have organized bowling
league.
Everybody kicked as per custom
but four teams have been selected TO
start the league schedule and there
will probably bs much knocking" Of
the pins at the Orpheum alleys at 2
o'clock this afternoon. All of the
members OF this club are kicking up
on o'clock. declaring that it is too
early for any respectable person to
get out of bed. 1t might be explained
that the members work at night on
The News Times. The objections were
overruled by a new member.
There was also much bowling when
il came time to name the teams but
finally a compromise was reached
and the Makeups. Admen, Operators
and Reporters will battle for the
glory.

aag The same measure also LODGED
with the President discretion to waive
the restrictions regarding all the OF
f,cers of such ships being American
citizens, thus laying the foundation
during the war for an American mer-
chant marine, which would carry
American products abroad regardless
of the war conditions.
Congress also so amended the AID
rich-vreeland Emergency Currency
Act, during the early days OF the war
but before the federal reserve banking
system had gotten into operation, as 10
make that workable, and it was avaiieo
of for the first time since Its passage
wears before. The Senate passed a
cotton warehousing bill, during the
early days of the war, providing Tor
government inspection and supervision
of the warehouses, but this was lost In
the House. A tremendous fight TO
have the government buy cotton from
the southern planters at 10 cents
pound was defeated and the bill voted
down.
Another result of the war, and Tor
its cutting down of imports from for
eign countries, with accompanying re-
duction in the tariff duties, was the
war tax bill. This measure, providing
for the raising of more than $90,0OO,OoO
annually by internal taxation. was put
through both houses only by most
bitter fight, virtually all the Republi-
cans voting against it.

WORKING in THE DARK.

Commission government. in its es-
sentials, may be the best form of city
government.
Columbia's government may be in
such a state that a change is neces-
sary-and it may not be.
Commission government may be the
very form that will cure all of Colum-
bias civic ills.
But it has been very clearly shown
that, even were these three premises
true. Columbia can't get commission
government now. The law providing
for its adoption by cities of the third
class has been declared unconstitu-
tional. All the agitation for the new
form, with the circulating of the pc
tition, has been like the proverbial
search for the end of the rainbow.
In the future, let's know where we
are going before We start.

COLUMBIA,s COBBLEsTONEs.

Probably their only value is that
they are unique, those cobblestones.
Columbia seems to keep them as
heritage of the past. Paths on each
side of them indicate the disapproval
of the public. People walk around the
stones. In the days of old when the
streets were not paved, the stones may
have held an honored place in Colum-
bias daily life. Today they should be
discarded.
A young woman, in attempting to
cross the stones few days ago, fell.
She suffered a broken collarbone. 1t
is a fact that women have difficulty in
crossing the streets. The stones are
in the way. They can not walk across
them. Styles of the day. made with
out reference to the special charac-
teristics of Columbia streets, will not
permit skirts wide enough for SO long
a step. Thus the stones might be
called a public nuisance.

CONFIDENCE in ADVERTISING.

Good advertising builds up conf
dence, and confidence is the highest
attainment of advertising. That is
what the store that advertises from
day to day throughout the year strives
for.
Once this confidence is gained much
care must be exercised to retain 1t.
Having gained a crowd of buyers
through judicious advertising, the mer-
chant continues advertising to retain
and strengthen their confidence.
That some advertisers do not yet
appreciate the power of confidence is
shown by fiamboyant displays making
extravagant claims that are at once
recognized as false and misleading
The advertiser not only squanders his
money, but his method detracts from
the other advertising with which his
appears.
Advertising is one of the strongest
forces in modern business and 1t
brings cumulative returns when right
ly directed. 1t is better not to ad-
vertise at all than to make a state
ment that can not be backed up.

CONGRESS HAS HAD
A PRODUCTIVE YEAR
Has Given Country a New
Banking and Currency
System.
ONLY E WEEKS REST
Bills, Treaties, Appointments
Have Kept Both
Houses Busy.

BY United Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-One of the
busiest legislative years in the history
tof American congressman ended
Thursday with the recess of Congress
over New Years Day. Except for a
six weeks adjournment, the national
| legislators were in continuous session
from January IL, 1914 until Thursday.
This statement would not be fair, If
allowed to stand, however, without the
further comment that prior to Janu-
airy IL, Congress had been in session
continuously since the incoming of the
Wilson administration. March 4, 1918.
Perhaps the most important piece of
Legislation enacted during the year was
the law providing for the new banking
and currency system. Creating from
8 to IL regional reserve banks, Qater
fixed at 12) under the direction of a
Federal Reserve Board, and providing
for the reserves of all the national,
and many of what had previously been
state banks, to be kept with the Fed
eral banks, instead of with cores
pondent banks in central reserve cit
les, as previously. This was probably
the most radical reform in the cur
rency system of the country ever put
into effect. The provision for the dis
counting of commercial paper by the
member banks, and the issuance OF
new currency to cover this discounting
by the reserve banks, provided what
was thought to be strong preventive
of panics, and provided also a sure
remedy against temporary stringencies
in the amount of actual currency on
hand. especially at such times as when
the crops are moved.
Another act of the year, that pro-
viding for the construction of rail-
road in Alaska at a cost of $35,OO0,-
900, and its operation after completion
by the government, was tremendously
important from two different view
points 1t provided for the opening up
for use by the people, of what. .Presi-
dent Wilson is fond of calling that
storehouse of riches. Incidentally, it is
regarded by some as a long step to-
ward government ownership of all of
the railroads. Certainly, as it is op-
Grated year by year, it will form at
least the basis of a comp lrison with
the privately owned railroads in the
United States.
Bitter Fight on Tells Repeal.
One of the bitterest fights of the
year was over the repeal Of the tolls
exemption clause for American own
ed coastwise ships passing through the
Panama Canal. The passage of this
act means that every coastwise ship
passing through the big ditch will have
to pay its way, just as though it were
an American ship in the foreign trade,
or for that matter a foreign owned
ship.
Two important measures of the So
called antitrust program were enact
ed during the year. One of these Gre

They say" that preachers son
usually turns out badly. Here's an
instance in point-a preachers son
elected to Congress. Jouett Shouse,
whose name should carry him far, is
a young fellow who used to live at
Mexico and attended school at Co

the Christian Church. Jouett moved

ate as soon as he became q FULL

was elected to Congress from the

Being from Missouri, Shouse is a
Democrat. and that fact adds TO the
story of his success. inasmuch as he
carried a district usually Republican.

ated the Federal Trade COMMISSION
which will exercise much the same
sort of power over industrial corpora
tions as they exercised over the rail-
roads by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. thus bringing both sorts
of companies under federal control.
A number of important bills were
passed by the House which were not
enacted because of the failure OF the
Senate to pass them. These include
the immigration bill, including the IA
nous literacy test, which would re-
strict immigration, and modify the
rules regarding it to meet the opinion
of a number of authorities on immigra-
ton. Two of the most important OF
the conservation bills, that provided
for the leasing of water power sites
now withheld from entry and the Gen.
eral Dam Bill, were also passed by the
House but not by the Senate during
the year, while one bill, the La Fol
lette seamen's bill, passed both houses,
(the Senate prior to this year, how
ever but in such different forms that
no agreement was reached during the
year between the two houses.
Congress passed a resolution 5usti-
flying the Presidents action in order
ing an invasion of Mexico at Vera Cruz
following the insult to the American
flag at Tampico by soldiers directly
responsible to Huerta, at that time
dictator of Mexico.
Twenty.Six Treaties Ratified.
Twenty-six peace treaties, most OF
them the breathing spell variety, pro-
viding for one year to interpose after
any overt act before any hostilitfes
should occur, we're ratified by the Sen
ate. The upper house also received
more than 5000 nominations from the
President, and ratified most of them.
There were bitter fights over many
of them, incidentally, especially Paul
NJ. Warburg and Thomas d. Jones, for
the Federal Reserve Board, the first of
whom was confirmed and the second
withdrawn; Attorney General McRey-
nolds, to be justice of the Supreme
Court: John Shelton Williams, to be
comptroller of the currency, Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner DAN
iels; and Henry NJ Pindell, to be Am
bassador to Russia Some of the most
important pieces of legislation of the
year were those resulting from the
European war, the war emergency
bills.
One of these put the government into
the insurance business, that providing
that the government should write war
risk insurance when private corpora
tions would not underwrite business at
reasonable terms. This has proved
great boon to shipping since the out
break of the war. Congress made two
distinct appropriations to bring strand
ed American citizens home from war
stricken Europe.
Help Merchant Marine.
Another emergency war measure
was that sweeping aside the tariff du-
ties and other restrictions which had
hitherto prevented the placing of for
eign built ships under the American
