prepare for that financial cyclone that

EDUCATING WALL STREET

Wall street has learned something
about the quantity theory of money
in the last six years. There are new
companies trying to float bonds to
the amount of $170,OO0,00O and the
railroads have put out, or are about to
put out, $230,000,00O of new bonds.
They are finding out that there is not
money enough" to do it. The conse-
quence is that a good many of the
promoters will have to forego the
profits they expected to rake in. A few
years ago when we had about half as
much money as we have now, all Wall
street was bowling I'VE have money
enough The promoters" are for
the most part men connected with the
clearing house banks and the failure
of the bills creating a lot of wild cat
asset currency has spoiled their plans.
Another thing is giving them trou-
BILE. AS soon as the Panama canal
treaty is ratified by the Colombian
congress there will be a payment to
make to French citizens of $4,000
900. To the outside world they say
that there is 1922, ,597, ,794 in the treas
ury and that the payment can be
made without any trouble at all. That
is only whistling to keep their cour-
age up. On the day that the report
showed that, there was that much in
the treasury, the fact was that only

$72,843,394 were really in the treas
ury. The rest of it was in the ma
tional banks. But if one went to the
national banks he would not find it
even there. 1t had been loaned to the
spectators. The treasury must not
keep less than $50,000,0OO as "a work.
ing balance" So when this $4,000
900 is paid to France, a good share OF
it will have to come from the national
banks. The banks must call in their
loans to get it and the Wall street
promoters see that their cake is
dough.
This curtailment, if it does not end
in a general smash-up, will be one of
the best things that ever happened.
1t will stop for awhile this wild spec
ulation and imitation of credit. The
inflationists in these days are not the
populists who have for a long time
been calling for halt, but Wall
street, the same Wall street that
wanted sound money made of gold" 4,
and that declared when the country
was in collapse for want of cur
rency that we had money enough"

1t is sometimes said that the cheek
OF man is like that of brass mon
key or of government mule, but
when it comes to an editor of a great
republican paper, all such compari-
sons and SMILES fail. There is moth
ing on earth to which the ''eheek" OF
one OF these editors can be compared.
Take for instance the fight the New
York Tribune made against more
money and compare it with the fol-
lowing, which recently appeared in
that paper: "A current circulation of
$5O, barring tiny fraction, for ev-
cry man, woman and child in the COM
monwealth is probably the best show

This injunction business marches
with rapid strides toward slavery. A
federal judge in Kansas City has is-
sued an injunction against the COM
mon laborers who act as teamsters-
iorbidding them rendering any aid to
employees of an express company who
are out on a strike. All the aid thew
could render would be to refuse to
haul goods for that company. If thew
do so refuse, will that judge appoint
driver to 60 after them and force
them to work? Will he carry big
whip and apply it every time team
ster refuses to work?

Minnesota has long had a law tax
ing the gross earnings of the rail-
roads and the roads were always al
lowed to furnish the figures which
were accepted without investigation.
The legislature two years ago passed
law appointing an examiner to look
into the matter and he reports that
roads have swindled the state out of
S275,O00 in taxes since 1896 by making
false returns of their gross earnings.
The big railroad managers are in the
habit of committing perjury with the
same sang froid that the million
aires Of New York city do when the
question of paying state or city taxes
confronts them.

STRETCHING THE LAW.
Roosevelt Still scheming For Doctor
Wood.

Washington Dec. President
Roosevelt today sent to the senate the
nomination of Brigadier General Leon
ard Wood to be a major general of the
army, and the nomination Of 167 other
army officers whose promotions depend
on that OF General Wood Accompany
ing these nominations were those of
about twenty-five civilian appolntees,
including that OF DR.. ". n. Crum, to
be collector Of the port OF Charleston,
\ C., and some others whom the presi-
dent nominated in the last recess.
These appointments are considered
by the president and his advisers to be
recess appointments The question OF
their status has been discussed thor
oughly by the president with the best
lawyers connected with the administra-
ton and in congress. The conclusion
has been reached that between the time
Of the falling Of President Pro Tenn
Frye's gavel signifying the conclusion
of the extraordinary session and the
calling to order o fthe senate in the
regular session Of congress an appreci-
ably lapse Of time occurred. In this
time the appointments technically were
made. They are regarded by the ad-
ministratiOn as recess appointments.
and the appointees. therefore win re-
ceive the pay and exercise all the au-
thority OF their rank to which they are
promoted.
The commission Of the army officers
have been made out on this under
standing. All of them are dated back
TO the time last summer when, the ap-
pointments originally were made.
Secretary Root and Secretary Moody
had a conference with the president to-
day before the appointments were sent
TO the senate. In the matter Of the ap-
pointments their views as lawyers and
as members Of the administration. coin
cided with that Of the president. With
view to securing a legal decision,
however, Secretary Root. has author
lied the paymaster general to make a
test case and bring il to the attention
OF the comptroller Of the treasury at
the earliest possible moment.
While the nominations are dated to
take effect from the time the commits
sions were first issued on the recess
appointments. IL is The general opinion
Of members Of the senate that the nom
inees win retain their old rank until
the nominations are confirmed. despite
the fact that all OF the officers affected
have been serving for nearly three
months under the advanced rank and
pay to which they viii be entitled when
confirmed. On this theory General
Wood viii cease as major general and
will resume his rank Of brigadier gem
eral and hold it until he is confirmed
in the higher rank When he is con-
fiImed. however. he will receive a COM
mission dated Aug. s, and advanced
pay viii take effect from that time.
