Going Into Debt to Provide More
 Currency.

The United States government has in it's treasury s904, ,000,000 in gold. The government has an available cash balance of S240, ,000,0O
 With the exception of "a small working balance" all this $40, ,O0O,- 900 is on deposit in national banks.
 The government is now going to issue $50, 900 in Panama canal bonds and $100, 900, 900 in short term three per cent certificates of indebt- edness.
 Why? Has the money available for work on the canal run so low that the government must go out and borrow money to keep up that work? Not at all. The govern ment plenty of money for the canal. The builders can't spend the money as fast as the government can sup ply funds. Is the government so pressed for ready money that it must sell $100, 900, 900 of its notes at the high rate of interest (for the government of three per cent :? No. The government has nearly a quarter of billion dollars in ready money.
 Then why is the government about to go $50, ,000, 900 in debt?
 Because, as President Roosevelt and Secretary of the Treasury Cor telyou explain, "these measures will, among other things, enable the secretary of the treasury to meet public expenditures without with drawing for the purpose any appre- ciable amount of the public moneys now deposited in national banks throughout the country"
 In other words, the government has plenty of money for it's current expenses and still, rather than take that money out of the banks, it will go $150, ,000,0 ,000 in debt for money with which to meet it's current ex- penses. And the people will pay the interest on the debts thus ere ated.
 Of course the object of this pro- ceeding is to make the financial better. The $50, 900, 900 canal bonds can be used as basis for additional national bank note circu- lation. The proceeds from the sale of the certificates can be made directly available at the points where the need is most urgent and espe- cially for the movements of the crops.
 Naturally everybody wants to see the financial situation relieved. Customarily we hear talk that the mades deposits of it's funds to aid Wall Street gamblers to carry stocks on margin. But the cotton farmer in Arkansas who can't get currency for his cotton and the railroad switchman in Arkansas who fears that his grocery keeper will net have ready money with which to cash the switchman's pay check are just as much concerned as are the Wall Street stock operators. The same currency famine that af- fects the Wall Street man also affects the cotton farmer in Arkansas and the switchman in Argenta.
 Therefore, the new plans of the treasury are for the public good are for the good of us all. But IS there not something wrong with our financial system when the govern ment must go deeply in debt, not because its revenues are not greater than it's expenses, but in order to furnish a circulating medium with which the people may carry on the daily transactions of business ?- Arkansas Gazette.

Bryan favors the steps taken by Roosevelt looking toward the re- moval of the tariff on news print paper and wood pulp. Incidentally so does every newspaper in the land. A raise of 50 per cent in the price of white paper in one year is a very convincing argument to the news paper fraternity.

One of the principles upon which Senator Foraker bases his candidacy for the presidency is that the tariff shall not be disturbed. That sounds good to those corporations and trusts that through present conditions are enabled to maintain prices to con sumers in this country on their products away above those given to foreign trade.

President Roosevelt has taken an other step to put an end to third term agitation by practically de- manding that employees of the government cease talking or work ing for him to that end. It seems mighty hard for a man to convince the American public that he does not want the highest office in the
 land--especially when most of the people would like to see him have it.

Senator Foraker of Ohio is again before the country as a candidate for the presidency. His hatred for Roosevelt's square deal measures draws to him the support of corpor- ation interests. and perhaps he thinks his course in the Brownsville incident will make him solid with the negroes. But what pie" it would be for w. J. Bryan or Tom L. Johnson to have Foraker named as the candidate of the Republican party for the place to which he as- pires

is a man of a separate and dis

we do not believe the God-called

They deport themselves COM
mendably on the street and in
society. They are worthy of
good husbands oronoue, and if
they continue in the same moral
road, they will not fail. They
do not allow reprobates to hail
them and their company is al
ways congenial and unquestlon-
able. They eschew the worth
less and are not defled by the
cunning cajoling of a certain
class of libertines who make
their habitat on Washington be-
tween 9th and 10th streets. We
wish we could afford to call the
names of these girls so that they
may know that the light they
carry is not hidden but the rays
{ lerefrom are seen and have been
and are a lamp to the feet of
many people. Another potent
factor is, that girls can command
respect more easily than they
can demand it, In other words;
the chaste, modest and indepen-
dent girl commands respect with
out the need of demand. A
command is mightier than de
mand, the latter is subservient to
the former, for if a girl is immor-
al and her character black, she
may, on given occasions attempt
to demand respect or repulse an
intruder, but her standing does
not command it, and invariably
the would be intruder is philo-
sophical enough to remind her of
his knowledge of her standing

will inform these girls of the fact

NOTHIN' DON HERE

The Silver Belt is in receipt of com. munieatiOn from a corporation in Wiz consin containing notice conce.ning the finding of diamonds in that state and the organizing of the company to mine the precious gems. The notice is calculated to induce the reader to sub scribe to the stock of the company, a certain small-sized block of which is offered in payment for running the ad yertisement. We feel that the publica tion in the Silver Belt of the notice would be wholly useless, that the com. pany would not be repaid for the stock which it would transfer in payment, and therefore it would be nothing short of robbery to accept the stock. We also take this means of informing the com. pany of our position regarding this glass of advertisements, if copy of this issue of the Silver Belt ever comes to their notice. Of course, all of the suckers are not dead yet, but the birth rate in the east is much higher than in Arizona.
