vAGARIES OF THE GOLDBuoS
r~nsoundne. OF the state bank Vote
Proposition.

The cry of "sound money" raised by
the people who are so anxious to have
the government "go out of the banking
business" is hypocriticai and insincere.
Even the demand for gold IS dis
ingenious. for these "reformers" pro-
pose TO retire the greenbacks and sub
stitute state bank notes secured by h
assets of the banks" Was there ever
submitted to the American people q
more unsound proposition than thar
Behind the greenbacks stands the
United States government. and there
Is no contention that a ~greenback Is
not now and always worth its face.
Could the same be said OF state bank
notes? II that il the kind OF sound"
money the "reformers" wish to force
upon the people, the suggestion will be
laid scornfully aside. with the comment
that IL possesses "more sound than
sense"
In arguing in favor Of postal savings
| banks. Senator Mason. who is a good
republican. says: "Most of the Ameri-
can people live IS miles from any bank.
They are IN this way deprived OF all
| facilities for thrift. Even il banks were
convenient they are not absolutely re-
/. liable. Since national banks were es-
tablished $50 of them have failed and
paid creditors only IS per cent. In the
meantime 1924 banks failed and paid
only 80 per cent" While the remarks
Of Senator Mason were not intended as
a reply to those who urge the estao-
lishment of a rag money currency. they
apply with great positiveness. The peo-
pie of this country are no prepared to
encourage the issue Of wildcat money.
Suppose, however. for the sake OF
argument. that every wildcat note were
to have a gold dollar back Of 1t. What
would that mean? To retire all OF the
government paper would contract the
currency 5000, O0o. 900. To issue state

mother regarding certain matters con-

answered, but received no response, nor
did she receive word of reply to her
continued answers. The mother there
fore climbed the stairs. and found her
daughter lying dead upon the side Of
the sofa.
AS Is usual in all cases of sudden
death, heart disease was assigned as
the cause. but careful examination
by competent physicians revealed the
terrible fact that the young lady met

The trouble having been traced to
the liberation or rupture of an in

diseased organ very naturally suggest
ed the proper line of treatment. II Is
perhaps, not generally known by the
public that the various foreign bodies.

the concretions usually found in the
appendix. are merely accidental con-
sequences of the inflammation rather
than causes OF 1t. To such as never

that II is n very rare circumstance to
find a seed of the fruit lodged in the
appendix In fact. 1t is now proved
that aside from the intestinal concre-
lions which really form in the organ
after the latter becomes diseased there
Is scarcely an average proportion of
3 per cent in which foreign bodies dis
