INTEREST RATES,

In a careful review of the Cana
dian bank currency system, prepar-
ed by Mr.. T.. Carroll Root for the
New York Reform club, 1t Is stated
that at times when the interest
rate is 5 per cent in the eastern
centers Of the United States and 10
or 12 per cent in the western agri,
cultural communities, the difference
between the rate in Montreal and
that paid by solvent farmers In Van
couver or Manitoba Is not more
than ! or per cent,
This equalization of rates in Can
ada is partly due to the branch sys-
tenn which prevails but much more
to the general currency system by
which an elastic currency Is proyid-
ed to meet the demands Of busi'
ness.
Mr.. Root quotes from Secretary
WINDOWS report for l80O' I'm my
Judgment the gravest defect In our
present system Is It's lack Of elastic
ity. The crops Of the country have
reached proportions SO immense
that their movements to market in
August and September annually
causes a dangerous absorption OF
money The lack of a sufficient
supply to meet the increased de-
mands during those months may
entail heavy losses upon the agri.
cultural as well as upon other busi-
ness interests"

The Arkansas Gazette of this

tional episode, as occurring at Pine
Bluff, Ark:

prominent in the business and
church affairs of Pine Bluff and Miss
May Huggard is the Is year old

a respectable widow whose husband

have sent an insulting letter to
Miss Hubbard by Mary Smith, a
colored woman, who lived just op-
posite Colburn's gin and corn mill.
The negro woman delivered the
message and theyoung lady instead
Of responding to the invitation sub
mitted through the colored woman,
told her mother what had occurred,

facts to her brother, Carroll God

a double barrel shotgun for himself
and a buggy whip for his niece and
repaired to Colburns mill and
charged the latter with having in

Whereupon Godfrey sent for the
Smith woman and to Colburu's face
she asserted that he had told her to

cence, but Godfrey was satisfied of
his guilt, and at signal from him,
Miss Hubbard began to belabor Col
