THE LILY Copyright, 1913, by The Associated Newspaper School, Inc. According to the very earliest traditiong of history and myth, there dwelt with Adam before the coming of Eve a fair, golden-haired women, Lilith by name, who by the witchery of her golden, honey-colored hair held Adam enmeshed in her toils. Her symbol was the lily. Eve came— and Lilith went. The flower remained. But as ume went on it no longer stood for the woman, all memory of whom had to be blotted out. Instead this flower came to typify purity. And so when Judith, daughter of Israel, bound on <her special mis- sion to save her race, went to the ten of the dangerour Holofernes, she wound in her hair a wreath of lilies, that all evil might be averted from her and that success might attend her undertaking. With the coming of Christianity the white lily, looked upon as na- tive to the Holy Land, was dedicated to the Virgin Mary as emblematic of her purity. Thence comes the name Annunciation Lily. In the catacombs of Rome we find the 1ily tombs of sasicus. and iU is used reii s paintinz Christias constantly in the of the Midd'e s to typify puri love, ind meérey. Tae final judsment scene is given with the Judge hold- ing in ‘one hand the sword of wrath and in the other but a single white tily. The religious significance of the flower traveled far; for even in distant Persia the tall white lily i called to this day “Goole Miriam” o “TPlower of Mary.” The almost universal importance and significance of the lily made il a favorite emblem among the dif- ferent fraternal orders of medieval society, It was therefore quite na- tural and in keeping that Louis IX. of France, in instituting a new and favorite order of knighthood, should decree that its members wear a chain of broom flowers entwined with white lilies, thereby signifying hum- ility and purity. Eventually, however, the powerfal Heuse of Bourbon took the lily as its own peculiar flower of heraldry and others had -to forego its use. The lily is the native flower of Siam; - Its cultivation is the one in- dustry of Bermuda. It likes a peaty soil and- plenty lilies ‘are easy to grow, thankful for attention; beautiful ‘in their flower- ing, and infinite variety, they will always be second only to the rose in the hearts of lovers of flowers.

Immediate Changes In’ the Banking Laws—He Declares That the Revi- sion of the Tariff Will Not Be Com- plete Without Further Legislation Which Will Enable Business Men to Take Advantage of the Changed Conditions. Address of the president of the Unit- ed States, delivered at a joint session of the two houses of congress June 23, 1918: Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Gentle- men of the Congress—It is under the compulsion of what seems to me a clear and imperative duty that I have a second time this session sought the privilege of addressing you in person. 1 know, of course, that the heated sea- son of the year is upon us, that work in these chambers and in the commiit- tee rooms is likely to become a burden as the season lengthens and that every consideration of personal -convenience and personal comfort, perhaps, in the cases of some of us, considerations of personal health even, dictate an early conclusion of the delibefations of the session. But there are occasions of public duty when these things which touch us privately ‘seem very small, When' the Work to'be done is 50.press- ing and so fraught with big conse- quence that we know that we are not at liberty to weigh against it any point of “personal sacrifice, We are now in the presence of such an occasion. It 18 absolutely imperative that we should glve the business men of this country a banking and currency system by means of which they can make use of the freedom of enterprise and of indi- vidual initiative which we are -abovt to bestow upon them. Must Leave Tools of Action. We are about to set them free. We must not leave them without the tools of action when they are free. We are about to set them free by removing the trammels of the protective tariff. Ever since the clvil war they have waited for this emancipation and for the free .opportunities it will bring with it. It has been reserved for us to give it to them. Some fell in love, indeed, with the slothful security of their dependence upon the govern- ment; some took advantage of the shel- ter of the nursery to set up a mimie mastery of their own within its walls. _NOZV both the tonic and discipline of i T ‘Vuuumluuwlulmnu A i v»F S set.

It is for us to determine now whether it shall be rapid‘and facile and of easy accom- plishment. This it cannot be unless the resourceful business men' who are to deal with the new circumstances are to have at hand and ready for-use the instrumentalities and conveniences of free enterprise which independent-| men need when acting on their own Initiative. Constructive Statesmanship. It is not enough to strike the shack- les from business. The duty of states- manship is not negative merely. It is constructive also. We must show that we understand what business needs and that we know how to supply it No man, however casual and super- Aclal his Observation of the conditions now prevailing in the country, can-fail to see that one of the chief things business needs:now and will need in- creasingly as ‘it gaius in scope and vigor in the years immediately ahead of us is the proper means by which readily to vitalize its credit, corporate and individual, and’ its originative brains. What will it profit us to be free if we are not to have the best and most accessible’ instrumentalities of com- merce and enterprise? What will it profit us-'to be quit of one kind of monopoly ‘if we are to remain in the grip of another and more effective kind? How are we to gain and keep the confidence of the business com- munity unless we show that we know bhow both to aid and to protect it? ‘What skall we say If we make fresh enterpises pecessary and also-make it very difficult by leaving all else except the tariff just as we found it? The tyrannies of business, big and little, lie within the field' of credit. We know that. Shall we not act upon the knowledge?

I should be'reéréant to my deepest convictions of public ob- ligations did.I not press it upon you 'with ‘soleinn and urgent insistence. The principles upon which we should | act are also clear,” The country has sought and seen its path in this mdt- ter within the last few years—sées it more clearly now than it ever saw it before—much more clearly than when the last legislative proposals on the subject were' made. We must have a currency, not rigid, a8 now, but read- fly, - elastically . responsive to 'sound credit, the expanding”and contracting credits of everyday transactions, the normal ebb and flow of personal and corporate dealings. _Our banking laws must mobilize reserves, must not per- mit the concentration anywhere in a few hands of the monetary resources of the country or their use for specula- tive purposes in such volume as to hinder or impede or stand in the way of other more legitimate, more fruit- ful uses. And the control of the sys- tem of banking and of issue which our new laws are to set up must be public, not private; must be vested in the gov- ernment itself, so that the banks may be the instruments, not the masters, of business and of individual enterprise and initiative. Committee Ready to' Report, The committees of ‘the congress to which legislation of this character is referred have devoted careful and dis- passionate study to the means of ac- complishing these objects. They have honored me by consulting me. They are ready to suggest action. I have come to-you, as the head of the gov- ernment and the responsible leader of the party in power, to urge action now, while there is time to serve the coun- try deliberately and as we should, in a clear air of common counsel. I appeal to you:with a deep convic- tion of duty. I believe that you share this conviction. I therefore appeal to you with confidence. I am at your service witheut reserve to play my part in any way you may call upon me, to play it in this great enterprise of. exigent reform which it will dignify| and distinguish us to perform and dis- credit us to neglect. i ..mu\uulnu«d NS L oA | 1 i “(\fmuuuummmm n I[VFRYB() nyg‘ i For Bemidj aved on Thereare only> a few ‘books left and the publishers will not supply another So here is 'a’ LAST CHANCE foi Bemidji Pioneer readers' to get this use ful | five-volume refererice work which® thousands of delighted readers have pro- nouhced superior to the cumbersome and expensive sets' so widely adver- ised and sold upon the xnsta]l 5 ~and preseht it ANY DAY THIS WEEK ~and get the comp]etev »\ fl““'“""'V(’(”]'Im ERYBOD" S X lu o T[ We find that many readers were unable to preaem the coupon: on Friday or Saturday, so armng,ement have been made to redeem § coupons EVERY DAY THIS FINAL WEEK, aslong as the setq last: One Cotipon an this offer | COMPLETE SET REGULARLY SELL- $1 2 00 L eem s | i t}zplt pockets ard | We want every reader of the Pion- gilsse Speedy eer to have Stitchers Amolutbl The Sposcy Stitther 1o the latest invention and the most effective of anything in form of an Auto- matic Sewing Awl ever offered. simplicity makes Its it MEND YOUR HARNESS' WITH THE SPEEDY contains. the thread feeds, it STITCHER needle for tapping shoes.
