ent and Prime Necessity.


ent and Prime Necessity.
In my message to the congress a
year ago spoke as follows of the cur
rency:
II especially call your attention to
the condition of our currency laws.
The national bank act has ably served
great purpose in aiding the enor-
nous business development of the
country, and within ten years there
has been an increase in circulation per
capita from S21.41 to $33OS For sew
eral years evidence has been accnmu-
lating that additional! legislation is
needed The recurrence of each crop
season emphasizes the defects of the
present laws. There must soon be a
revision of them, because to leave them
as they are means to incur liability
OF business disaster. Since your body
adjourned there has been 1uctua ton
in the interest on call money from .
per cent to 80 per cent. and the 6uc-
tuation was even greater during the
preceding six months. The secretary
Of the treasury had to step In and by
wise action put stop TO the most VIC
lent period Of oscillation. Even worse
than such fluctuations are the advance
in commercial rates and the uncertainty
felt in the suficiency of credit even at
high rates. All commercial interests
suffer during each crop period Elk
cessiye rates for call money in New
York attract money from the interior
banks into the speculative field. This
deplates the fund that would other
wise be available for commercial uses
and commercial borrowers are forced
TO pay abnormal rates, so that each
fall tax in the shape of increased in
ferest charges is placed on the whole
commerce Of the country
Ihe mere statement of these facts
shows that our present system is seri-
ously defective. There is need of a
). change Unfortunately, however, many
OF the proposed changes must be ruled
from consideration because they are
complicated, are not easy of compre-.
Lension and tend to disturb existing
rights and interests. We must also

chat the institutions which failed were
institutions which were not under the
supervision and control of the national
government. Those which were under
national control stood the test.
National control of the kind above
advocated would be to the benefit of
every well managed railway. From
the standpoint of the public there Is
need for additional tracks, additional
terminals and Improvements In the
actual handling of the railroads, and
all this as rapidly as possible Ample,
safe and speedy transportation facili-
ties are even more necessary than
cheap transportation. Therefore there
IS need for the investment of money
which will provide for all these things
while at the same time securing as far
as Is possible better wages and shorter
hours for their employees. Therefore,
while there must be just and reason
able regulation of rates, we should be
the first to protest against any arbitra-
~ and unthinking movement to cut
them down without the fullest and
ests concerned and of the actual needs
Of the situation. Only special body
Of men acting for the national govern
ment under authority conferred upon
1t by the congress is competent to pass
Judgment on such q matter.
Those who fear from any reason the
extension of federal activity will do
we'll 20 study the history not only Of
the national banking act. but of the
pure food law, and notably the meat
inspection law recently enacted. The
pure food law was opposed so violent
II that its passage was delayed for a
decade. vet it has worked unmixed
and immediate good. The meat in
spect1on law was even more violently
assailed and the same men who now
denounce the attitude Of the national
government in seeking to oversee and
control the workings Of interstate com.
mon carriers and business concerns
then asserted that we were "discredit-
Ing and running a great American in
dustry.' Two years have not elapsed,
and already it has become evident that
the great benefit the law confers upon
the public is accompanied by an equal
benefit to the reputable packing estab-
nshments. The latter are better off
under the law than they were without
It. The benefit to Interstate common
carriers and business concerns from
the legislation l advocate would be
equally marked
incidentally in the passage Of the
pure food law the action of the vari-
Gus state food and dairy commission
ers showed in striking fashion how
much good for the whole people re-
suits from the hearty co-opera ton of
the federal and state officials in secur-
ing given reform. 1t is primarily
to the action of these state commits
sioners that we owe the enactment of
this law. for they aroused the people
first to demand the enactment and en-
forcement of state laws on the subject
and then the enactment of the federal
law. without which the state laws
were largely ineffective. There must
be the closest co-opera ton between the
national and state governments in adj
ministering these laws.

PROBABLE RECOUNT FOR HEARST
FOR MAYOR OF NEW YORK

In his message to the New Yori
legislature Governor Hughes urges pro
vision for a recount of the vote of the
last election for Mayor of Greater New
York at which Mr.. Hearst claims that
he was elected and counted out. He al
so recommends that the law be sc
changed as to enable the courts to or
der a recount ON sufficient showing by
a contesting candidate. AT present a
recount ear be had only by permission
Of the Encouragement, who is a po-
litical officer and presumably inclined
to favor a recount when his party may
gain by it, and to refuse it if his party
may lose Governor Hughes declares
that it should be wholly a judicial mat
tea
The country will heartily approve the
stand taken by Governor Hughes. A
representative government by the ma
jority, and whenever the time m
when there is general distrust of the
election machinery there will come
an end to any form of popular govern
ment. The revolutionary spirit in Cuba
and other volcanic Latin-American
states is mainly due to the belief that
there are no honest elections. We pride
ourselves on greater ability for self
government than is possessed by the
Latin Americans. So far as we have it
it consists in our ability to cause cleo
tions to be free and peaceful and the
count perfectly honest. There is a gen
eral disposition to submit to a demon
strated, and undoubtedly, majority UNI
less that majority should so abuse its
power as to produce open rebellion.
Revolutions usually begin in a convic-
ton that the announced result Oh an
election does not show the will of a
majority, either because voters were in
Inundated or the count dishonest. m..e
do not believe that Americans materi-
ally differ from other people. They
would fight if they thought they were
cheated. Doubtless it would require
considerable time to break down the
rational habit of submission to the
forms of law, but a general belief that
majorities would ooner or later
do it. 1t does not matter who is elected
by the people. He should have his Office.
If Schmitz could be reelected mayor
he should get the job, and decent peo-
pie could leave the city to stew in it's
own juice. We have come to doubt
whether a recount would show Hearst
to have been elected. Whether it would
or not he should have it if he asks for
it.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Eels Ran Up His Trousers

William H. Stewart, manufacturer
of Brooklyn, N. Y, is at the Eddy
farm house with his wife and
son, says a dispatch from Port Jarvis,
N. Y. Mrs. Walker, a Brooklyn
boarder, IN Wednesday caught a four
and a half pound pickerel in the Della
ware river. Mr.. Stewart, not to be
outdone, tried his luck, but only eels
were biting.
Two boatloads were out, one of
women from the city. Mr.. Stewart
had caught a dozen good-sized cells,
when two of them wiggled up a leg
OF his trousers. Efforts to dislodge
them were futile, and despite the fact
that the other boat was in close prox
unity Mr.. Stewart was compelled to
partly divest himself of his clothing
to extricate the cells.

the money to dragging the roads.
Consultation with the Review map,
showed that there were 10 roads lead
ing out of Denison. Mr.. McHenry
proposed that these roads be improv-
ed for at least five miles out of Den
ison. making 65 miles of road to be
cared for. He further proposed that
the township authorities be asked
to give special attention to these
roads with the understanding that
Denison should help care for them.
He would next go to the farmers with
an agreement that if they would drag
the roads five times during the sum-
mer. Denison would drag them ten
times. He thought this could be
done for $500 per mile or less. max
ing the total expense to Denison not
to exceed $1,000. He advocated keep
ing this up from year to year and
extending the limit until all the
roads leading into Denison were in
prime condition and the farmers had
learned the great benefit to be deriv
ed in being able to market their pro-
duce easily in all kinds of weather.
