We observe next that our Federal Chief
Magistrate is derived very remotely from
the X ing Of England and is a close copy Of
the head Executive in the early State Con-
situations In fart the chief magistrate in
Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Hamp-
shire was styled the President II was
this official who was reproduced. with some
notifications. in the Federal Constitution
The decision that the Executive power
should be lodged in a single individual in
stead Of in commission las IL is now in
Switzerlandl, was based mainly upon the
ground that all the thirteen States had
adopted this plan. The chief magistrates
term OF office varied in tho different States
from one year, a. in Massachusetts 70 three
years. a. IN New York and Delaware The
veto given 10 the President was evidently
modelled. not on British precedent-the
veto power had not been exercised In Great
Britain since the reign Of Anne-but on
the Massachusetts, Constitution Of 1850. with
which the New York Constitution Of i777
substantially concurred. Some Of the exact
words OF the specifications relating TO the
exercise Of the veto power are reproduced
from the text Of the Massachusetts Con-
stitution. The Office OF Vice-President was
manifestly patterned on that Of Deputy
Governor or Lieutenant-Governor in tho
Colonial charters and early State constitu-
tons In four of the States this official was
st. led the -Vice-President He presided
over the upper house and in many in
stances succeeded the Governor in case Of a
vacancy. II ia noticeable that in the New
York Constitution Of l777 the Lieutenant
Governor although he presided over the
Senate had no vote. except in case Of tie
and in his absence the Senate was empasV-
cred to choose one of it's members 90
preside.
There is. as the author Of this book points
out, no foundation for Sir Henry Names
that the United States Supreme
Court is "A virtually unique creation Of the
founders Of the Constitution We are re-
minded that in the Federalist this tribunal
was defended by Hamilton on the ground
that it was -conformable,go the most ap-
proved Of the State constitutions There
is no doubt that the constitutions Of Della

tribunals corresponding 10 the United

proposal Of list Of amendments.
II is certain that when the New York con-
vention met at Poughkeepsie, on June II.
Gov. George Clinton the leader Of the anti
Federalists, had large majority Of the
delegates at his back, Delay was the only

ratification of the Constitution by New
Hampshire and Virginia had some influence.
but IL was by no means conclusive, ann
the contest was prolonged thereafter for
more than month. ln spite OF the In
roads made by Hamilton and Jay upon
the ranks of the ti-Federalists. there
was grave danger. AZ late as the middle OF
July, that the Constitution would be re
jected. A conditional ratification vas
mooted. It was suggested that the con
vention should recommend the adop-
ton OF certain amendments, and that
New York should then enter the Union
on the understanding that she should 50
out again after five or six years in case
the amendments should not have been
adopted by that time. Not until July "a

States Supreme Court II should likewise
be borne in mind that the impeachment
process authorized by the Constitution Of
the United States was not copied directly
from that which had been for centuries in
vogue in England, but was modelled on
much nearer precedents found in the State
constitutions OF Massachusetts and New
York.
The strength OF our Federal Constitution
undoubtedly lies in the fact that 1t was built
up Of principles which had been actually
tested by the experience OF the colonies, the
early States and England. Prof. Moran
recalls statement made 10y James Russell
Lowell in 1888, in an address before the
New York Reform Club that the Phila
delphia Convention was led astray by
no theory Of what might be good. but clave
closely to what experience had demon
strated TO be good II an attempt had
been made to make II original in the sense
that the first constitution of France and the

organic law would long since have been

hence in reserve requirements, the surplus
was increased by an amount sufficient to
restore Ii very nearly to the sum which
was recorded fortnight ago.
The reduction in loans last week was

effected chiefly through calls for the liqui-

loan rates that prevailed early last week.

The deposits were reduced 500, 249 500

sum of the decrease in loans plus the loss

II is noteworthy that deposits were last
week reduced below one billion for the
first time since January %, 1904; also that
the cash reserve is now at the lowest of
the year, as likewise are the loans II
seems probable that the cash item was
last week made up on rising averages, for
after the middle Of the week considerable
sums were received from the interior and
from Canada.
Loans were. however, probably greater
than those shown by the average, there
having been liberal loaning by the banks

The Foreign Markets.

In foreign markets there can be no doubt
that the secondary effects are being felt or
the great war credits which have been In

The first expenditure of these tends to

the consumption of such commodities is

scale. The Japanese and Russian loans

The disposition to keep within safe limits
in this particular is looked upon as one of
the merits of the banking system in this
city. and Is one thing that has contributed
to the reputation which Washington enjoys
as sound and safe place to do business in.
1t is recognized that 1t was good precaution
to adopt and 1t has been adopted, and with
no harm except perhaps reduction in the
volume of business on the stock exchange
in local securities.
One of the methods adopted to limit loans
has been the increase in the rate of interest,
as there is no other reason for the change
mand more money from those who want new
accommodations. There is no special OBJ
lection on the part of borrowers to this
course. except they are fearful that the
rate viii not come down as easily as it
went up.
The prosperity of the banking business is
one of the wonders of the pres
ent development of the material in
terestS of the city. 1t is evident
to those who are most familiar with present
conditions there is to be a still greater ex-
pansion in the banking resources of the
city. More banks and larger ones seem to
be the present tendency, and hence the
appreciation in the value of bank stocks.
1t is apparent that existing institutions are
to be made use of in establishing larger
ones
1t is the belief that in the next year or
two there will be number of radical
changes made in the local banking institu-
lions, and while 1t is not thought the
to. it is the belief that while there may be
no actual increase in the number of ma
tional banks, there will be notable addi-
lions to the capital employed

The fact that money has been in the de-
Is really not half SO interesting to the
philosophical observer of financial affairs
as that there should have been any differ
ence of opinion on that point among ex-
perts. Every year, for reasons which are
perfectly understood, we have this period
of temporary -stringency. and every year
before the time comes there are optimists
who confidently predict pleasant surprises
Tight money is one of the things that no
bull leader. that is, no real leader, can fail
to reckon with in the conduct of extern

himself against such contingency, but he

loaded optimists aver that there have been

and under certain circumstances, 1t is not
the rate itself that is of consequence, but
the underlying conditions Of the money
market. 1t is perfectly easy to understand
how bankers may differ in their views
to duration of periods of monetary strin-
gency. but that the signs pointing the
coming of such stringency should not be
read as easily by one as by another Is
rather perplexng. 1t is probably case of
the human factor in the equation, for the
fact that man is financier does not de-
prive him of human faiiings. 1t is only
the shabby professional tipster. the Wall
street prototype of the race track tout, who
is infallible.

This year. at all events, thus far this sea-

sidering such developments as the Russian

tions in the civilized nations across the At

very high prices of securities. Joined
to the sharp advance in call money
to rates that made the speculative carrying
of stocks expensive luxury, all might
quite easily have led to one of those sharp
slumps which the lay mob always calls
"panics' because it so regards whatever
fluctuations empty its pocket, but which
stronger spectators and financiers, having
no losses to bemoan, always refer to as
healthy reaction.
There were, indeed. some recessions in
prices which seemed more than strictly
justified to those who had bought stocks at
the high level; but the declines We're really
substantial only in those stocks which had
lately scored very substantial advances, the
reason for which was not plain unless the
accusations of manipulation by pools are
based on facts. That the market did not
break more violently and that stocks did
not reach still lower levels shows that the
combination of very high security prices
with highly prosperous agricultural, indus
trial and commercial conditions continues
to puzzle the speculative community to the
noint of making the stock market a two
