cessive. The danger line will be
reached when the bank note circulation
comes to bear an undue relation to the
gold reserve of the United States treas
ury. The growth in national bank notes
In FIVE years has increased their
amount from 1915, 100000 to $478,000,
600, based on government bonds, or
about $50,000,000 per annum. 1t is
calculated that the gold stock of the
country increases annually in about the
proportion that population increases.
During the last fiscal year the basis
money Of the nation was increased by
the addition Of $23,000,000 in gold GER
tif1cates 1t is urged that as the bank
note circulation increases faster than
the growth of the money of redemp-
ton, the process tends toward imitation.
II adds to the burden of money which
the gold reserve must maintain at
parity.
No remedy for this situation IL in
sight, and it Is stated that it may be
that an unhappy finant al depression
will be needed to call the attention Of
caution in loading up trade with too
great an issue Of bank notes. At pres
ent there is no Limitation on the or
ganization of national banks except
that they cannot go beyond the bonded
debt. The bonded debt is now $685.
100000, Of which 1882 100000 is used
as security for note issues and $65,000,.
900 as security for government de
posits. An issue Of $130,000,e00 OF
canal bonds has been authorized, and
the whole world knows that other H.
sues Of canal bonds must be made. II
the canal is to be constructed on the
lock principle, this bond issue will
necessarily be doubled and probably
trebled. When the canal is cut dowr
to sea level the cost of construction
will very nearly be doubled and The
bond issue accordingly increased.

the major portion Of the fund arising
from the sale Of public lands within
each State or territory for the benefit
Of their lands, SO far as practicable.
1t Is recognized fact that the con-
trtbutionS to the fund from the yari-
Gus States are in most cases not in pro-
portion to the need Of those States for
irrigation. Arizona and Nevada, for
instance, whose lands have contrib
uted very little to the fund. have
probably the greatest need and oppor-
.tunity for reclamation, while on the
otner hand. North Dakota and Oklaho-
ma, though large contributors, have
perhaps the least actual need for irri-
cation OF any Of the Western States.

especially from men who have viewed

the public domain has long been con-
sidered a legitimate prey. hailed the
passage OF the irrigation act as an i'm

use the nations resources In the West.
Mr.. Hitchcotk's vigorous measures,
however, have seriously interfered
with their proceedings and they are
bitter in their denun-

BALL PLAYERS
ARE LIKE ACTORS

Some Of the letters received from
ball players by Mr.. W. II. Cole, the
secretary Of the new team, are very
amusing, and the majority are not.
notable for the clearness Of the
Ichirography or the correctness of
the spelling. These professional
ball players are very much like ac-
tors, speakers, lecturers, and Others,
who are before the public constant
~. The artificial life they create
for themselves, and then live up to
naturally makes them eccentric.
THAT is one reason why successful
base ball managers are so scarce. A
manager must be a student ana
judge of human nature and know
when to humor and when to lay
down the law to his men.
The majority of the letters con-
tain press clippings extollpg the
proves of the writer. One letter
from a player named johnson con-
tanned an entire column from a
newspaper, a write up Of a base bail
game. Mr.. Cole read it carefully,
but no mention Of johnson until the
very last line, marked with ink read,
johnson is a peach" That is prob
ably Mr.. Johnson's opinion also, but
hardly a sufficient recommendation
to secure a position.
Mr.. Camden Sommers, who is
new in New York City, is negotiat-
ing for some base ball stars, and on
his way home he will stop at Wash
ington where he win arrange to try
out some fast Y. NJ G. A. players
Of that city.
Not only is the team an assured
fact, but II is going to be good
one and winner.

A RESEMBLANCE
AND G0NTRETEMPS

A case Of mistaken identity eaus-
led a rather embarrassing situation
last night to two parties, lady and
gentleman. The gentleman was Mr..
Mack, the manager Of the NanDyke

a native daughter, aud well known.
Ever since the opening night of the

this lady have been remarking the
wonderful resemblance between her
and Miss Ollie Eaton. The like
ness is remarkable, even to little
tricks Of gesture and speech. last
night Miss Eaton's double was re-
turning home from visit to friends
and about II o'clock, just as she was
approaching the corner of Third
land Main stretes, Mr.. Mack step
lped up and taking hold Of her arm,
said, Hello, going home?o The
ladylwas astonisheds naturally. She
said rather mechanically, "IIow

to the contretomps policeman
stepped across the street to make IN
yestigation. Fortunately, by this
time all three parties, The lady, Mr..
Mack and the policeman, came into
the light from the street lamp. Mr..
Mack discovered his mistake, apollo
gized and explained that he, took
| the lady to be his star, Miss Eaton.
The lady graciously accepted the
apology, also ticket for a box for
itonigbt's performance, and an insi-
tation to meet Miss Eaton personally

BLACK HAND OPERATES
IN WASHINGTON D. C.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 1.-The
receipt Of 'Black Hand letters by
members of the House Of Represen-
tatives has almost caused nervous
prostration among some Of them.
Members received postal cards on
which there was a drawing Of a
black hand. Beneath the hand was
the warning: "0nty Four days
more Members began to ransack
their brains for the cause Of the en-
nifty Of the BLACK Hand
Two days after the FIRST warming
a second came, the same black hand
and the ominous words: ~Yon have
only two days more"
Next day it was one day more.
Yesterday cards were received in
scrihed in red ink 'sNo more black
hands. Use Blanks soap"
Members OF Congress believe this
particular method of advertising
should be abolished by law.

The leading merchants and espec-
tally those who advertise in the
Telegram say this years business 50
far is much greater than for a like
period last year. There are several
reasons for this, not least among
them being the fact that they advcr-
tise in newspaper that reaches all
the people. Another is that the
people have been prosperous and
have money. Another is the fac
tories are larger and buster this year.
Still another is that new people are
constantly coming and the popula-
tion is growing in proportion. And
one important reason is that the
merchants themselves are keeping
abreast the times and are serving
patrons in the best possible manner.
These conditions are certainly en-
couraging and the Telegram is
proud to know they exist.
