a New Financial Solution.

Mr. Edward Wilder the treasurer of
the Santa Fe road went before the
meeting Of bankers and delivered an ad
dress on the solution of the National
Financial Problem. These are the
points which he made:
II think there is a large majority
who believe that the government
should, as quickly as possible, go out of
the banking. money issuing and export
gold furnishing business. This being
agreed upon, what are the features Of
the proctical problem? Mainly the
retirement of about 1916 200. 600 OF Uni
ted States notes and s156, 600. 600 of treas
ury notes OF 1890, redeemable in coin,
practically gold, which were our daily
nightmare Of last year.
The funding and retirement Of this
$500 009, 600 Of circulation should be ac-
complished without the slightest dis
tuT'bance by the issuance. under new
legislation Of per cent gold bonds and
an equal amount Of new circulation
based upon and secured by the deposit
Of the bonds in the treasury, and as
these demand notes are now held by
national banks, trust companies. saw
ings banks and individuals and as
they have a value from their gold de-
mand" quality in addition TO their face
value as currency, the present holders
should receive in compensation what
evr advantage comes from Interchange
that is the per cent per annun on the
bonds and the new currency. The new
circulation should not be the promise
of the government 10 pay, nor the prom

Very Well Said.

We are free to confess that had we
been elected governor of Kansas. we
would have made some moves
Mr.. Morrill, has not made, and perhaps
would have left unmade some moves
which Mr.. Morrill, has made We are
not prepared to say, however, that they
would have given the state or the pol
ltlclans any better satisfaction than
what Mr.. Morrill, has done. 1t is not
a hard thing to do-to beef and belly
ache over the action of men in authori-
", and the Republican leaders" in
Kansas seem to be cut out for that kind
or work. We read every day the abuse
or the State Journal, and still we would
never select Frank McLennan as our
ideal governor; the Wyandotte Gazette
is persistent and continuous in its abuse
or the governor, and yet we do not be-
HeVe George w. Martin could do any
better: the Leavenworth Times finds
fault constantly. and still we believe
1t would be a grand mistake to make
