YALE TO HAVE a STATUE
OF NATHAN HALE

Cr4TJc. g 'rset, where the dead OF the
America prisoners were ignominious-
IS thrust into treI ches by their red
coated foes. II this be true. his dust
must long since have been scattered
to the winds of heaven, for business
structures. including sbyscrapers, now
cover all that area.
II is no credit TO the American poo
PIE that they have done so little to
honor the memory Of Nathan Hale. In
deed, as n nation. they have done alb
solutely nothing. AS far back as 1885
q senator from Connecticut made a
plea from the floor of the senate at
Washington for the erection of a mon
ument to Nathan Hale, but his words
fell upon deaf ears. His own state OF
Connecticut has reared no shaft nor
bIilt other memorial. For a great
many years n granite monument in the
village cemetery at Coventry. Conn.,
was the only one in the country, the
only memorial of any description.
There is now the statue in City Hall
Park. Now York, before referred to,
and the old sch~oolhouse in East Had
dam, Conn. in which he taught, pre-
served through the patriotism of Capt.
Richard Henry Green Of New York,
whose grandfather was one of Hale's
pupils. There Is also an excellent
statue of Hale. recently finished by
Giuseppe Moretti, a well-known New
York sculptor, which it is thought may
be purchased either by the Sons or
Daughters of the Revolution and be
erected in Washington. Both the Mac.
Monnies and the Moretti statues rep
resent Hale as bound. Mr.. Partridg,

Partridge as a Socialist. in tie higher,
Christian sense Of the term. Ills home
is in Pittsburg, Pa. He had read Mr..
Partridgc's art for America" and
was so impressed by some portions of
the work that he wished to become ac-
quainted with the author. His visit to
New York was for the purpose of graf
flying that wish. A prolonged and IN
expected stay was due to the fact that
in him the sculptor had found what he
had long sought in vain-a second Ma

a man filled with the ambitions of
Hale, imbued with the same humani-
tartan spirit, moved by the same no.
BILE impulses and aiming at the same
high standard of morals which Hale
had set up. And to add to the sculp-
tors Joy, the young Socialist from
Pittsburg was the counterpart of Hale
in a physical sense. The latter, ac-
cording to the best authority, was
about 5 feet 10 inches in height. His
figure was elegant and commanding.
He had a full, broad chest, full face,
light blue eyes. rosy complexion. He
was an athlete. All this was true OF
the young man from Pittsburg. And
sculptor Partridge, fguratively, fell
upon his shoulders and wept for Joy.
II has been practically decided that
the Nathan Hale statue shall be erect
ed upon the famous Yale Green. not
far from the spot where, as a student
athlete, Hale made the proiigious leap,
the marks OF which were for many
years preserved and pointed out. Hale
entered Yale in 1870. 1t is said that

OF BANKS.
TOO GREAT ADVANTAGES ALLOWED
TO NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.


A ,eader of the Commoner complains
that national banks enjoy too great a
privilege in being permitted to loan out
five or ten times their capital stock.
He shows the disadvantages of the or
binary individual as compared with the
bank. While, as he points out, the
bank has a great advantage in the
earning Of an income and in the ac-
emulation of wealth, there Is another
objection, and an wen more serious
one. to the name in which banking
Is done at present. When a bank with
n capital of one million is allowed to
receive and loan out deposits amount
Ing to ten millions, the depositor does
not have a sufficient margin for secur-
ity. A little shrinkage in values wipes
out the capital stock and leaves the de-
posltor no security save the notes
taken by the bank. In good times such
q bank makes enormous profits and in
bad times its failure brings disaster to
depositors and is likely to cause a run
on banks more wisely conducted. There
ought TO be a fixed relation established
by law between capital and deposits,
so that there would always be a safe
margin for the protection of the depos-
itors of tne community. But how can
banks be made safe as long as the
financiers control congress?-The Com
moner.

Admiral Schley.

If Admiral Schley needed a vlndica-
tion he obtained 1t in the splendid trib-
ute paid him by Admiral Dewey in the
latter's minority report. In truth Ad-
miral Schley did not need a vindica-
ton. In the judgment of the American
people he is one of this country's great
naval heroes. and this is shown to be
true by the very general condemnation
which the court of inquiry's report has
met with on the part Of the public.
Admiral Schley's detractors appear
to be very anxious to drop the affair.
Some of them declare that there Is no
need for further Investigation. The
Commoner is inclined to believe that
further investigation is not needed. 1t
Is true, however. that something re-
mains to be done in order that justice
should be accorded to the hero of San
tiago bay.
Instead of congressional investiga-
ton into facts that are already estab-
lished to the satisfaction of the Amer
lean people Schley should be restored
to active service, and he should be APP
pointed vice admiral to hold the place
during the remainder of his life. Any
thing less would be inadequate.
II a congressional investigation is to
be had it should not be an investiga-
ton of a hero; the naval officers and
employees who are responsible for thu
assaults upon Schley should be ~investii
gated for the benefit Of the service in
the future.
