PRAISED BY Mr.. RIDGELY
PLAN TO MEET Ex-
pEcrED MONEY sTRINGENCY.
The Controller of the Currency Be-
Heves That the Announcement
Will Have a Good Effect.

VIM B. Ridgely the controller or the cur
rency, was asked. today as to his views on
Secretary Cortelyous plan for the distr1cu-
ton. of public funds among the nauonal
bank depositaries, in times of money strln-
gency. He said
1.-The announcement made today by Sec
retary Cortelyou Of Ills plan for relieving
the strain on the money market by the de-
posit of government funds Is very wise
and timely, and should go very far toward
allaying apprehension and restoring busi-
ness to its normal condition. 1t Is well
known by every one at all conversant with
the money market that the present strin-
gency applies far more acutely to time loans
than to call loans. Time money Is very
tight, while call money Is comparatively
easy For this reason the pressure Is bear
ing most heavily on commercial ana manu-
featuring interests.
:'The Secretary's plan of making deposits
when and where needed will enable him to
apply his relief wherever 1t will do the
most good to commercial and manufactur-
Ing business. with less reference to the
speculative situation. / believe II Is oetter
to make this announcement now. and oner
the relief in this way, than to walt until
the stock market Is in more or less of q
panic and rates for call loans are extremely
high.
our annual crop-mo ring strtngency has al
ways been the uncertainty as to when and
how the Secretary of the Treasury would
take action 1t is sometimes charged that
call rates have been manipulated up to fc-
titious heights to effect this action.
II am glad that Mr.. Cortelyou has anticf-
pated this. and by making this announce
ment now removed as much Of the uncer-
tainty as Is possible.

FLoeeING IN ENGLAND.

About corporal punishment in Eng
landc two curious facts lie beyond dis
pute. One is that while the working
class and the lower middle CLASS ms
like and resent il, and will not in gen.
eral allow their children to undergo
it, the aristocracy tolerate II without
complaint. The time is coming, one
might assert paradoxically. when It
will be impossible to fog anybody but
the son of peer. And the other lac,
is that public-school boys have often
felt special affection for the masters
who have punished them most
In Westminster Abbey stand side
by side the tombs of master and his
pupil. The master was Dr. Busby,
who was headmaster of Westminster
school for so long a time as fifty-eight
years. Nobody ever logged so many
boys as he. The pupil was rne theo-
Logan, DR.. South 1t is told am
not sure the story is ,true-that when
South came as a small boy to West

ominous words. Il see great talents
