Last Friday Pearl Craig broke a
small part on the burner of his cof-
fee roaster, and in order to get the
repair quick he called up the factory
in New York over the long distance
telephone and ordered the part sent
by first mail. The charge to talk
from Leon to New York is $500 for
three minutes, but Pearl says a five
dollar bill looks small to having to
disappoint his coffee patrons, and he
received the broken part Monday
morning.

OBSERVING DEMOCRATS"

Washington, May 19-(Special Cor
Observation-Disclosures deserving
Democrat" has been provided with a
job.
Bryan's son-in-law, Richard Har-
graves, has pulled down a ~clerkship
in the Treasury department. 1t pays
him $1,000 d year and it was given
to him by John Shelton Williams, who
has assigned the young man to that
appropriate bureau on i~nsolvent banks.
1t is naively stated that Hargraves is
to learn the banking business and then
embark in it on his account.
This notion of paying a tyro a good
salary to learn a trade is something
new; but it ought to become popular
in some. circles. Indeed, it is already
popular in Mr.. Bryan's " Depart
! ment, where the number of "deserv-
ing Democrats" who are learning dip
lomacy at Government expense is
steadily increasing.
Mr.. Williams is planning-uncon-
sciously perhaps-to keep Mr.. Har-
greaves's Office busy; because, at the
present rate of multiplication of comp
troller's regulations, the time is at
hand when no National bank will have
time for anything except the making
of the various reports which are re-
quired by the versatile Mr.. Williams
The new method of making reports
of the condition of National banks ha:
sorely tried the patience and the talent
of many bankers. The statements a
now required to be made and publish
ed areas newspaper readers have
noticed-much more voluminous thar
they used to be; and the minutiae O.
detail which they contain is very con
} fusing and exceedingly difficult to fill
out correctly. One case has just COM
to notice where a New England banl
tried five times before it got th'
statement in proper form to suit MI
Williams-and the only person profit
ing by the incident was the local news
paper proprietor, who got pay for nv
publications of the statement.
Now that the bankers are beginning
to understand what Mr.. William
! wants and have acquired facility II
filling out his blanks, he has descend
, ed upon them with a brand-new set o
| interrogatories. The thirst for IN
formation which Mr.. Williams exhl
, bits is something extraordinary; an
some of the questions he asks are re
: garded as inquisitorial and NEEDLE
a some to an astonishing degree. In
function of the comptroller's Office ha
: been to see that the banks condu<
!! their business according to law an
l. maintain their solvency-which is tn
chief concern of their depositors an
of the public. But Mr.. Williams no
e wants to know about the salaries tn
the banks pay their officers, how mue
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1915-05-21

the directors get for attending meet
ings, how much rent the banks pay
for their quarters, or-if they own
their buildings-how much rental they
receive and how much they charge
themselves, and how much the pro-
perty is assessed for.
In one sense these new questions to
all banks are an outgrowth of the
policy which the Comptroller has pur-
sued toward the Riggs bank and which
that bank has submitted to the scru-
tiny Of the court.
This litigation promises to be Of
intense interest and it's consequences,
political and otherwise, are likely to
be far-reaching. But the present tao
tics Of the Government, which has
been put upon the defensive, are to
play for delay. The first postpone
ment which the Comptroller asked for
was regarded as a sparring for
wind, but as the day of hearing ap-
proaches, it becomes evident that Will
liams' lawyers intend to use all the
tricks of their trade in an attempt to
delay a trial of the case upon its mer-
its. They are planning to raise all
sorts of technical objections in order
to take an appeal on points of law,
hoping of course, that it will be later
than November, 1916, before the case
can be heard.
In the meantime, if this programme
succeeds, the present charter of the
Riggs bank will have expired, and its
renewal is a matter which is wholly
within the decision Of the Comptroller
Accordingly, if Williams can delay the
lawsuit he reckons to hold the whip
hand on the bank.
Of course, this is not an Agreeable
situation for an administration whose
motto is "pitiless publicity" But thu
fact is that "pitiless publicity" is thu
administrations motto and nothing
more. 1t v has been the admin
istration's policy.

There was then much more Of an or

society to encourage homemade goods.
That was when Philadelphia began
to spin its first cotton. The people felt
50 bitter against England that they re-
fused to wear British fabrics. Beaus

WORK OF The CRUISERS.

Varied Functions Of the "Po!icemen Of

The cruiser in time Of war has to

The cruiser Is admirably termed the
policeman Of the feet, for her capaci-
ties Of mobility and long passage max

are her chief attributes.

The feeling is growing, amongst
government officials that Austria will
use other influence to get Germany to
acceed to the demands of the United
States note of protest. It is an op-
en- secret that Austria is opposed ia
Germany's submarine warfare and
for these reasons there is strong
ground or.believing that trouble with
Germany will be avoided.

government officials, in consideration
of the situation which had arisen and

to no serious difficulties.

Divine Child, thus also the newly or
dained priests. Their journey was
one of many years, full of toll, fatigue,
care and danger. But the young stud
ents were led by a star ever going be-
fore them, the star of the priesthood.
But even as the star of the wise men
shone bright at one time and was OBJ
secured at another, thus also the star
of the priesthood varies in its lustre
and more than once is obscured by
interior and exterior danger, by doubts
and temptations. At last it rests in
full beauty over the day of ordination
and first Mass. The joy and exul-
tation which flood the heart of the
young priest is not unlike the JOY ex-
.perienced by the Holy, Kings on be-

NATIVE CHINESE PRIESTS.

While the eyes of the world are
turned to Europe to follow the drama
which is being enacted there, and
while the victims of this war may be
counted by the thousands, we celebrate
a beautiful feast here in far-off China:
the ordination and first Mass of five
native priests. 1t seemed as if the
good God wished to compensate us
for the loss of new laborers from
Europe, by giving US just now such a
fine number of new soldiers on the
Mission field. The entire Mission par
ticipated with due rejoicing in this
happy event Over twenty missiona-
ries had come from far and near to
the central station Yenchowfu, for the
feast of the Holy Name, January 8, and
in union with their Bishop laid their
hands in blessing upon their new fell
low-laborers. Not only Christians but
also heathens thronged the beautifully
decorated cathedral, all DESTROYS to
witness the ceremony at which sons of
their own country would be invested
with the highest dignity upon earth.
Relatives of the newly ordained had
also arrived, some of them after a
journey Of 81 days; the father Of one

of the new priests travelled 10 days to
reach the Mission-and this in the
cold on,-unfortunately he came
one day too late. If the day of ordina-
ton is considered day of great Joy
for every diocese, how much more then
in Mission district in the midst of a
heather country where the germ Of
the priestly vocation develops only
slowly.
From all sides the happy young
priests received congratulations whilst
they in turn imparting their first bless
ing were busily engaged to call down
graces upon them from on high.
Finally after few more days of
recollection and preparation, the sixth
of January, the feast of the Epiphany,
the day of their first Mass arrived. It
is difficult to say which of the two
days imparts greater joy to the heart
of the newly ordained priest, that of
his ordination, or that of his first
Mass. s
Already before dawn an immense
concourse of Christians had arrived,
especially the seminarians occupied
their places at an early hour. At last
the elevated sanctuary was lit up by
numberless candles. Then whilst the
organ pealed forth its most joyous
notes the newly ordained priests en-
tered the church to go to the altar of

THE POPE OF PEACE.

'The Congregationalist" speaks with
respect of the influence wisely and
successfully used by Pope Benedict
to mitigate the' sufferings of the war.
He has secured" says our Protestant
contemporary, IAN agreement from the
opposing governments to exchange
prisoners incapacitated by injuries
from further fighting. He also ap-
pointed day of intercession for the
return of peace for Europe.
why should it not be visible
token of the essential unity of Chris
tians for the Protestant churches of
America also to accept Pope Benedict's
suggestion and unite with their Roman
Catholic brethren in America in spe-
cial day of prayer for the return of
peace? However much Christians
may differ in points of doctrine and
government, at least they are an one
in the place of intercession before
the face of their common Heavenly
Father" If all Protestant publica-
tions spoke as respectfully and kindly
of the Holy Father as the Congrega-
tionalist Catholics would have no cause
for complaint and much of the bitter
ness and controversy would disappear.
