pating the January interest on bonds the government is endeavoring to re lieve the money market, but thus far this week It's efforts have not proven efficient. No little of the trouble is due to collection of unneeded taxes, thus causing an accumulation of cur rency in the treasury, and of course withdrawing that much money from business uses.
 The present experience is a mild af- fair alongside the furry in December, 1899, when in time of high prosperity money was bid up to 1855 without avail. Tight money created an arti- ficial panic at that time, but it soon disappeared, and so will the present movement.
 It becomes a grave question whether the government should not go out of the banking business altogether, let ting a system similar to that Of Euro pean capitalists be established. When Germany faced money squeeze not long ago the Bank of Germany met it by issuing $65, 5,OOO,Oo0 in currency notes, and the Bank of France or the Bank of england would do likewise in a similar emergency. The bank sys- tems in those countries are elastic, in this country they are not, and we must be content to stand such losses as those of Thursday unless we have the good sense to reform the federal banking system.

THE PRESIDENT TALKS roo LOUD

Washington Letter to Baltimore News.
 The days of whispered conferences in the White House are past. The President sees most of his visitors in the big re- ception room. He goes from one to an- other and says what he has to say in a voice that reaches to every part of the room A day or two ago justice of the Supreme Court came in with his son. The justice presented the son. Then he leaned over and whispered a few words to the Presidents ear.
 q am sorry" said the President-and fifty people heard him rasp it out--"I am sorry, but it cannot be done. All promo tions must be on merit"
 A very much abashed justice of the Supreme Court, with his son in tow, left the White House hurriedly.
 This absolute refusal of the President to get ehummy and talk in whispers amazes the gum-shoe statesmen. who have been going around talking under their breaths for fifty years. They want to be mysterious. They think all politics always should be talked sub rosa.
 Uncle Shelby Cullom. who even stops street car in whisper and who moves about so softly that his opponents never can keep track of him, is puzzled,
 Getting the Presidents ear" he said the other night, lis like opening a win dow and shouting at the wide. wide world. He talks too loud" And there was a plaintive note in the Illinois states mans voice..
