that the Mayors suggestions would be
carried into effect. The letter follows :
"MY DEAR Mn. MAYOR: ! beg to

Immediately upon its receipt | re-

went into conference with my fellow

of the opinion that. owing to the stop

importance was action on the suggestion
of the committee in such a way as to
bring about an immediate resumption
of street car operations, without stop
ping for the momen to consider fully

our construction to proceed.

MtIL-0RDER MELONS.

The largest Chicago mail order house has just cut a melon of $20, C00,000 to stockholders. How much money out of this town went to swell the figures, we wonder.
 The flair trade" bill in congress would put huge crimp in such ab- normal profits. It would standard ize trade articles. At plesent many articles sold by the mail order houses are not what they are repre- scented and hence it is unfair compe- tition with local merchants, who have to back up their goods, and un- fair to the consumer, who gets "bilked" with much regularity in long distance trading.
 Without standards regarding which goods must conform to mail-order advertising, or vice versa, melon cutting" by mailorder houses will continue to ba common. Let the law step in, however, and restrict the evil practices complained of, and most of tho $2o,o0o,0o0 melons will remain where they belong.

COTTON AND CONFIDENCE.

Banks subscribed $135 ,000,000 to help "carry" the cotton crop. South ern banks, however, took less than $1 100000 of the money. It was q fine idea, but when the Southern bankers noticed the money was at their disposal they did not want 1t.
 The formation of the cotton pool more needed than money. Had the pool, however, materialzed more more use of it. The pool came when it was nearly too late.

Eirsf "Gayne Law"

The first game law for the protec' ton of wild animals and birds was enacted in 1868 by William the Con- uuerof. This decree of the Norman king was called a forest law. but it's principal purpose was the preserva' tion of game. Forfeiture of property was made penalty for killing or dis. abling any kind of wild beast, while the slayer of stag, buck or boar
 if convicted, had his eyes put out. These laws, of course, applied only to the masses, since the royalty and no. 5ility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased .n fact, the princt pal purpose of the pioneer game law
 was to provide sport for the few. The first parliamentary game law In Eng land was passed in 1496. Game laws In America have become increasingly strict of late years, bat they were adopted too fate to save many species, notahiy the buffalo, from almost conn plete extinction

TEXAS REASONING.

In reporting unfavorably upon { bill providing for the inspection ot private hospitals, reformatory homes convents. asylums, sectarian semi naries, etc., a committee of three non Catholic members of the Texas legislature stated that similar bills have been introduced in many state legislatures from time to time. but that 'to the credit and sanity of these legislatures, be it said, that so far it has met with favor in none of them.'
 Continuing, the report, says: "This particular nill s a yelled and unpro- yoked effort, whether willingly or unwittingly. to encourage vicious and unwarranted anti-Catholic senti- ment in the American states" Using language similar to that of President Wilson in his message rejecting the immigration bill because of the lit eracy test therein the committee oi Texas concluded:
 This republic was founded, In the wisdom of the fathers, upon the prin- clple that America should forever re- main harbor of refuge for the op- pressed of every lnnd; the home and citadel of religious and political lib erty, sustaining and perpetuating a government where every citizen could worship God after the dictates of his own conscience and uninter- ruptedly enjoy the rights of property

STEADY BUSINESS RECOVERY.

| 1t will be fortunate for the country if congress can clean up it's business during the regular session so as to avoid an extra session, for the con- gressienal debates furnish a good deal of tho material for the psyscho- logical depression, as the president callS it. That the country is out growing the lack of confidence that has been at the bottom of the busi- ness depression of the past year is shown by the reports contained in the press dispatches, in the govern ment trade reports and ill the in- Creasing number of announcements Of resumption of business by factor ies of all kinds.
 At Gary, Ind. on Monday another thousand men who had been idle for months were put to work, and throughout Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia and Alabama steel and iroY concerns are increasing their forces nearly every week.
 At the rate at which the railroads are increasing their improvements in equipment, a return to normal in railroad business by the first of May is predicted.
 Cotton is moving into consumption rapidly on basis of about 1-2 cents for middling.
 The early part of May seems to be the time set for the big revival in business. If the government reports for April show a satisfactory reduc- ton in the cotton acreage, it is gen erally agreed that conditions in the cotton country will swing back to normal. With the cotton country in a condition of normal prosperity the whole country will be prosperous, for cotton is the only great interest, out side of lumber and steel, that is sui fering.

"There is no surer evidence of the prosperity of community
 than when it's saving banks show healthy and growing de- posits. s.-Burlingto HaWkeye Following are half a dozen out standing advantages of using a say ings bank or the savings department of commercial bank or trust conn pany. '
 l. Safety. Savings banks are the safest financial institutions in this country. Recent statistics showed the total liabilities of failed savings banks in proportion to the aggregate deposits of all such banks to be only about six ten-thousands of one per cent. Deduction for the amount realized on the substantial assets of those Few unfortunate institutions still further reduce the already in- finitesimal loss to depositors. 2. Ability ogssdeposit or withdraw any amount at any time. Some banks have a minimum for deposit, al- though it is usually a low one--5 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents or dollar, as the case maS be. In different states there is different maximum for savings deposits, ranging from $1,O00 to $3,000 or $5.000. Ordinarily money can be withdrawn. without any notice whatever. In times of panic or possible panic, however, 30 or 60-day rule may be enforced. B. Regular Income. There are few if any, other investments where it is possible to put in small, odd amounts at any time and have your money begin to earn interest promptly, as it does in a savings account. Savings bank interest is something you can depend upon.
 4. Compound Interest. The Y;;- vestor in bonds Or stocks must col lect his interest or dividends and if he does not use the money, must at tend personally to investing it. 1n- terest allowed by the bank at the end of a given period, if not with drawn, is placed to the depositor's s credit, and itself draws interest from that time on, thus automatically be- coming a part of the deposit. That means a constant increase in the amount at interest, and in the inter- est payments.
 5. Freedom from tax. In most states saving bank deposits are free from taxation by state or local au- thorities.
 6. The Habit of Saving. Last, but by no means least, of the advantages of savings account is what might be called the reflex influence on the depositor himself. It firmly fixes in him the valuable habit of saving, which will be a lifelong benefit to him.

FINE CAMPAIGN MATERIAL.

"A little group of Democratic sen- ators, of whom Mir. Vardaman of Mis- sisippi is fair representative sample, is furnishing the Republicans with some fine campaign material for use in the campaign of 1916, an ] if is material that can be used with the most telling effect" says the Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise. "The men who are daily furnishing the Re- publican campaign ammunition that is likely to now down the Democratic ranks in November, 1916, are the senators who are fighting the Dem ocratic ship purchase bill.
 "rhe argument the Republican speli-binders will use in 1916 will be a hard one to answer. The argu- ment will be that there is no use giving the Democratic party national power because, no matter how good q chance they have to make good, some little bunch of Vardamans and OGormans and Clarkes is always ready at the wrong time to spill the beans.
 "They will point out that there are too many leaders in the Democratic party and not enough followers. They will quote Democratic leaders against settled Democratic policies, but the Democratic spellbinders will not be able to spring the Republican record against Republicans. The leaders lea<i
 in the Republican party and the small fry have to follow. In the Democratic party every little Varda- man and Clarke is apt at any time to jump out ia front and break up the whole parade.
 "tFhe ship purchase bill may be tainted with a modified government ownership, but so is the postoffica and so will tho telegraph and the railroads be before many years. But it is better than the huge system of subsidies for which the Republican party is responsible. It will break up the ship monopoly that is stirling American commerce, holding down the price of cotton and preventing American manufacturers from de- valoping trade that the Germans, the French and the English are obliged to abandon temporarily.
 "The filibuster of the Republican senators is justifiable from a political standpoint. It is an attempt to bloc's constructive legislation, tactics in which the Democratic party has been adept for mere than half a century. But tho attitude. of the small Dem- ocratic insurgent minority is differ cnt. It is embarrassing it's own party and manufacturing campaign thun- der for tho Republicans. It is mak- ing ineffective constructive Demo- cratic policy approved by the ma jority."
