General Harrison had associated with
himself q cabinet made up Of men who
were known to be accredited spokesmen
OF the party. making Mr.. Webster. whom
half the country regarded as the greatest
Of Wings. his Secretary of State; and
Mr.. Tyler sincerely desirous of making
as slight a break as possible in the con-
tinuity of the party's policy. had asked
these gentlemen to retain their places.
But even before his final veto of the
Bank bill they had found 1t impossible
to regard themselves as really in his
confidence.
BY the middle of September, 1s4l. all
of them had withdrawn except Mr..
Webster, who remained only until i'm
portant negotiations with England touch
ing the northeastern boundary should
have been brought to a successful issue.
The Wings had in effect withdrawn their
hands from the Executive.
Not only was the Presidents leadership
gone, but the best traditions the Whig
leaders stood for. of policy which join
ed Congress and the Executive under a
common leadership. were broken, and af-
fairs were set adrift to take the chance
currents Of politics.
The President signed the bill for the re-
peal of the Independent Treasury Act,
consented to the necessary loan and to
the changes in the tariff which had been
planned. and agreed to the distribution
among the States of the moneys received
from sales Of the public lands.
But without the bank. these measures
lacked all constructive efficiency.
The Independent Treasury arrange
ments having been set aside. and no
other fiscal agency having been provided
or authorized, the way In which the
revenues should be kept and handled was
left entirely to the discretion of the
Treasury. without guidance or restraint

common in tropical climates but found

such infection.
1t is highly desirable to obtain supplies
of domestic water from sources other

The water obtained from deep wells has

Upon the assumption that the screen is greater than both pulpit and press in its comprehensive power for the dis semination of great moral truths. the Famous Players Film Company's cur rent contribution to the Paramount program, The Evil Thereof is in the nature of powerful dramatic sermon. This notable subject. written by Chan ming Pollock and Rennold Wolf, com pines under stirring circumstances d story full of fidelity to life and the i'm pulses and passions of mankind, with a motif of strange spiritual appeal.
 In its transcendent realism and un- cscapable truthfuness. this great pho toplay, which is the main attraction at the Lamara today and tomorrow, ex- erts an impression over the mind that Is certain to leave lasting and bene- ficial influence. The story involves three touching and impressive episodes designed to show the mad craving for money. and the hollowness of the at tainment after 1t is secured.
 The plot Is revealed on the screen in 1 a remarkably novel manner The first scenes depicted are those which occur in a wealthy brokers fashionable home. during party which he is giy- ing to several bon vivants. The host has concealed hundred dollar bills in souvenirs presented to the women and { as each takes the bill reserved for her the picture fades out. showing in de- tail the history of that particular bill d series of human histories fraught with misery, crime. desolation and death
