CONTRACTION AND CREDIT

According to New York dispatch indica-
ton that contraction of credit is becoming
worldwide and that future estimates of
values will have to attune themselves to this
condition caused further liquidation of secur-
tiles on the stock exchange. Liberty bonds
and Victory notes established the lowest
quotations in their history. Liberty bonds
and Victory notes are gilt-edged securities.
They are absolutely the best in the world to-
day. In the near future they will be selling
at a premium. 1t is to be regretted that
they are passing from the ownership of the
small holders to the ownership or control
of individuals or institutions who are the
possessors of vast wealth

A 4OO-Year-Old Prayer.
From the Washington Star

The members of the house joined in a
four-century-old prayer the other day, led
by man who has been working about the
capitol for thirty-eight years, and he isn't
a preacher either It was probably the
shortest prayer since congress first met.
When the heavy snow storm prevented the
blind chaplain, the Rev. Henry N. Couden,
from making the morning prayer Speaker
Gillett called on William Tyler Page, clerk
of the house. Without a moments time
for preparation Mr.. Page called into use an
old English collect:
"Direct us, O Lord, in all our doings with
thy most gracious favor, and furnish us with
thy continued help, that in all our works, be-
gun, continued and ended in thee, we may
glorify thy holy name, and finally, by thy
mercy, obtain everlasting life through
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen"
1t is a standing joke of Champ Clark to
accuse Mr.. Page of having been born in the
capitol.

The Marriage Notice.
From the Walton Tribune

In no other class of writing do editors,
particularly country editors, show SO
much diplomacy, kindness and good will
as in the publication of the marriage OF
young people. A peach blossom OF
maiden may hitch the car of her des-
tiny to the most useless dude in the
neighborhood, yet the local editor will
come across with a nuptial essay that
will gladden. the heart of the most
doubling and fearful mamma.-Daw
son News.
And snaggled tooth spinster may har-
ness up with a brow-beaten bum, but the
words of the editor will be to the same
effect.
Every bride is talented and charming,
and all the grooms are prominent and re-
spected citizens of the community.
Every sermon is a strong and soul-stir-
ring discourse; every speech is an orator
ical gem.
misery old geeser may pass in his
checks and start on his perilous Journey to
unknown parts, but in the kindness of his
heart the editor grabs him up and shoots
him straight through the gates OF paradise.
The editor is an awful liar-but he has
to be.

What a Fiasco.
From the Washington Post.

The allied premiers are plainly determin-
ed to leave Constantinople in the hands of
the Turks. What iasco that will be!
While the Turks are engaged in another
orgy of massacres the civilized nations Sc
cretly reach decision to leave them in pos
session of the territory they took from
Christianity centuries ago by the same meth
DDS of murder and arson which they are pur-
suing now. The allied premiers find it con-
venent to throw out sops to the Moslem
populations and are not at all ashamed, ap-
parently, of the reputation of their recent
declarations that the Turk must be elected
from Europe.

Earning Respect.
From the Milwaukee Journal.


The respect of ones fellow man is more
to be desired than wealth. 1t is something
all men desire, but not all men secure.
Generally men fail to win respect because
they do not make it their first ambition.
They put something else above it. Respect
is not flattery, because fiattery has a motive
behind it and, besides, is superficial. Nor
is it popularity, for popularity is frothy and
unsubstantial. Respect is the sincere re-
gard that arises out of personal worth. It
may be long in coming, but it wears WELL 1t
is in reality a life's achievement. You can't
expect any one to respect you unless you
respect yourself. That does not mean
sounding your own praises, but just the con-
seriousness you have of being square with
yourself, of having brought yourself out
right Respect is something in which no
man has vested right. It has to be earn
ed. It can attach to organizations as well as
individuals. 1t can be gained or forfeited
but it is not negotiable And yet it is the
greatest asset to a business man or corpo-
ration. What makes it the prize of life is
that once it is gained all other things are
added unto it.

WHILE IT IS DAY.

Time has been defined as the wise mans
asset, and the fools liability; easy to save
and often hard to spend. 1t is by the in
telligent use of time that success is at
tanned.
The brevity of life and the uncertain
lease we have upon it are constantly brought
to our attention How brief the day, and
how quickly comes the night! Life is like
the grass. "In the morning it fiourishes
and groweth up; in the evening it is cut
down and withereth."
To youth, looking forward into the day
and counting the years that are to come,
time seems endless and the night remote;
to age, when night gives notice of it's com
ing the years that have passed seem but
las a watch in the night"
How many men, summoned from their
labors with their life program uncompleted,
have given utterance to the thought so
tersely phrased by Tennyson
$50 many worlds so much to do
So little done, such things to be-"
To each human being is allotted a. certain
time to live, and it may be likened to de-
post in the bank upon which we draw. We
can check against this account either wise
ly or unwisely, as We choose. We can waste
it, if we will; we may spend 1t idly and
foolishly, or we may use it prudently and
to wise purpose. But at the bank of life no
overdrawn accounts are permitted When
our deposit of time is exhausted life ends;
heaven grants no extensions. How impor-
tant, then, that we should strive to do what
we have to do while it is day.
There is 80 much to do" and so little
time to do it.

To a FIDe Dollar Bill.

Crinkle, crinkle, little bill;
Goodness gracious, you look i'll!
Are you losing all your power?
You seem weaker every hour.
Now that prices are so high,
I'm so tired that l could die.

No one dares put me away.
When the evening board is set
With the fruits of fathers sweat
My small voice Is hushed and still

And no matter where l go,
People disregard me so;

Though you're weak, I love you still
