Mrs Lowden, who was Miss Flor
ence Pullman. daughter OF the late
George NJ. Pullman, sleeping car
builder, IS a charming personality,
devoted to her home and children
and at the same time an interested
participant in the social, club and
philanthropic life Of Chicago and
Springfield. The dances, receptions
and musicales she has given at the
governors mansion IN Springfield
have been noteworthy
In the late sixties Lowden's par
ents left their Sunrise home and
went by prairie schooner 90 Hardin
County Iowa. Most OF the trip
Frank covered on foot driving the
COW and horse or two. On the Iowa
farm young LOwden assisted his
father with crops, but his mind was
made up that he was going 10 get
an education. He attended a few
terms Of the county school near the
farm and at 10 ne had so far out

made master of the school

his odd moments IN studying law
books he was able to borrow or buy.
While I was in Burlington"
said Lowden. recalling his early
days, IT was dead set on becoming
a lawyer. One day I ran across a
man who said he could get me

went TO the city and sure enough I
landed a Job with Herrick. Dexter

take an interest in politics. In ad-
dition to his activity IN local Repub-
lican politics in Chicago. Lowden
was elected as a delegate 70 the Re
publican convention Of 1900 thai
nominated Mckinley and Roosevelt
for president and vice president, re-
spectively. During the campaign OF
that year he was on the stump on
various occasions pleading for their
election.
In 1904 Lowden appeared as a
candidate for the republican nom
ination for governor. He was de-
feated by combination OF the Yates
and Deneen forces, but when active
campaigning against the democrats
began Lowden was on the platform
speaking for Charles s. Deneen, who
was ultimately elected.

most Of that time he was a mem

rencies and securities have probably

rencies and securities have probably
 not touched bottom even as yet.
 As we noted last week, the depress-
 ing conditions by which the market
 has been surrounded have produced
 low quotations which offer bargain
 opportunities in many 'gilt-edged''
 stocks and investment securities. The
 situation noted a week ago remains
 substantially unchanged today, the
 fluctuations of the past few days hav-
 ing been within narrow limits. The
 opportunities open to the investor can be readily estimated in the current
 quotations for Liberty bonds, which
 have reached record levels. Many
 shares of proven value which during
 the upward movement of some
 months ago had attained artificial
 levels, have now retrograded to a
 point where their worth can scarcely
 be questioned. The liquidation of the past few weeks has forced out of the
 market much of the weaker, purely speculative element which was re- sponsib1e for the abnormal conditions in some shares, and recent buying has been in no small measure due to the operations of strong interests. There are conditions which will tend strongly to correct influences operat- ing in the direction of unduIy low values. They will be much more 1n- ftuent;al in this direction than the proposed legislation now pending in Congress whereby it Is proposed to limit the interest on stock exchange loans to per cent. Business through out the country is active and demand for goods is unprecedented. There is no reason either for unsafe legislation or for Encouragement because of at tempts to contract credit in a legiti- mate way. What is being done tends to make investment and speculation safer, sounder and more secure in l the long run.
 We have now reached the point in | the backward swing of economic con l dftions where courage and enterprise
 as we'll as conservatism are likely to | be needed. It will be impossible to 1 give up the extension of legitimate

Such reductions, however, have at most been relatively small and the vast preponderance of our outward shipment of goods oyer the inward movement has created g. great ex- cess of exchange drawn in New York upon European points. It was a growing realization of this situation that forced sterling bills below $3.5U during this past week, while other European currencies have followed or exceeded the pound sterling in the extent of their latest Shrinkage of value.
 This is not a condition that can be overcome by any ordinary meth ods.- The recommendations of the President and Secretary of the Treas ury looking to an advance of $150,- o00,o00 for the relief of suffering in some parts of Europe where distress is greatest have little bearing upon the situation, and if carried out will have only a remote effect upon the general exchange situation. On the other hand, ratification of the peace treaty which has been so earnestly hoped but now seems so remote would only lay a foundation for bet ter conditions.
 Atua1 means of financing Europe and reduction of the present one sided balance of trade must be ar ranged before a real ame1ioration of exchange conditions can be expected. Meanwhile the f1uctuation and weak ness of the rates Is creating a more and more serious barrier to the main tenance of sound trade relations with all parts of the world, while it fully accounts for the low quotation even of the best foreign government and other bonds upon our exchanges. It must, of course, be borne in mind as countervailiug consideration that a part of the depression in exchange is due to actual depreciation of for eign paper currencies in their own countries. This is illustrated by the growth of the gold premium in Lon don and by the tendency of foreign reserves to go to still lower levels. Such depreciation would not be di- rectIy corrected by changes in the trade balance but could be overcome only through the establishment of sounder banking and fiscal conditions abroad. The values of foreign cur
