WHO KNOWS, INDEED?

The K insas City journal. republic
can paper, recently objected to the asset
currency plan. A Kansas banker wrote
to the Journal calling its attention to
the fact that the United States is
steadily reducing it's national debt,
saying: L Is fair to assume that III
time there would be no United States
bonds with which to secure a bank
circulation" and asking. Are we,
then, to have no paper money issued by
the banks?"
In reply the Journal beats consider
ably about the bush. It declares that
it has never asserted that note issuing
Is not proper function for banks. It
explains that 1.-The nearest it has come
to such statement was the declaration
that probably nine-tenths If the Ameri-
can people believe that the making of
money is primarily function of the
government"
Then the Journal points out that in
France and England the note issuing
is restricted to single great financial
institution. being practically" under
the control Of the government; and it
adds that the Kansas banker will
probably say that the Journal has made
the argument for great United States
bank similar to the Bank of England.
concluding: "WelI, the ,wisest financial
minds of America have never ceased to
regret the wreck of the federal banks
accomplished by Andrew jackson. and

To be sure, who knows what this

and thus placing the people more COM

is the purpose of these men who plead
for asset currency and who advocate
branch banks.
But the Kansas banker submitted to
the Journal a question very pertinent
in its application to republican news
papers whose editors object TO asset
currency. When there are no longer
government bonds upon which banks
may issue notes or when the premium
on these bonds are so high that bankers
will not use them as baais for note
issue, what will be the plan of the gov.

choice will sooner or later rest between

When MIR. Carnegie bought Pitten-
Grief from its impecunious owner, he
! intended that this historic abbey
should go with it. But the State
thought differently. The abbey was
confiscated when the Catholics were
driven out, it said, and has been State
property ever since. Mr.. Carnegie
went to law, and the litigation that
followed lasted two years. 1t ended
in a defeat for Mr.. Carnegie.
Pittencrieff is in sad state of de-
cay just now, but it is going to be
made into one of the finest parks in
the world. Already surrounding

that, with the help of the golden

they are bewildered by the vast sum

little doubt that in its main features
Pittencrieff will follow the favorite
Scottish model.
Scottish parks almost always have
some stately building erected in their

hill In Edinburgh and Glasgow the
universities are placed in the centre OF
parks; in many other cities the public
Libraries are similarly situated Some
great building for the benefit of Dun

best actors from London may come.

of his boyhood- ambitions.
When he was ltddie it was the
custom of the Dunaermline boys to
scramble up on Pittencrieff's walls
when no one was looking, and feast
their eyes on the breaches of wild
scenery within. It'll was their only
way to get glimpses 'of nature; laird
of Pittencrieff was ntver known to let
the public in by one OF the four great
gates of the estate. :
The boy Andrew loved to look at
the great stretches of trees, and he
observed that all the other boys did,
too. So one day he :said to his play
mates:
Never mind, our boys won't have
to climb walls to see Pittencrieff.
When I'm grown up, I'll buy it and
make it free to all, aid they can go in
by the gates and stay in as long as
they like"
