what Credit Men Think OF Paying
BY Check.

Every effort should be made to have
checks become more completely the ma
tons real currency; the circulation Of cur
rency for the payment Of accounts, when
checks would be safer and more adaptable,
is unwise and unsafe.
The above is the conclusion reached by
the banking and currency executive com
mittee at recent meeting Of the National
Association of Credit Men.
The best services Of this institution are

We invite either checking or savings &C.

Cardinal Urges Women To Register
And Vote.

In an interview last Monday, Cardinal
Gibbons said that while he had always
been opposed to woman's suffrage, now
that the right to vote had been given
them, ii is the duty of all women to exer-
else the privilege.
The Cardinal has given deep thought to
the question, and he believes that women
will be lax in the duty they owe to the
State if they fail to register and vote. The
Cardinal is particularly interested in seeing
women register as soon as possible, so that
they may cast their votes at the coming
presidential election.
while always have been opposed to
woman's suffrage" said the Cardinal. be
cause felt that suffrage would withdraw
them from the more delicate and more
sacred pursuits of home life. now that they
have been given the vote, urge upon all
of them the exercise of that suffrage not
only as right but as duty. They should
exercise that duty intellieently.
ut is their duty" continued His Emil
nence, both to register and vote. and
especially in the coming presidential cleo
ton They should vote for the candidate
who will. in their opinion, contribute best
to the material and social progress of the
State"
