FINANCIAL LEGISLATION

Congress is already flooded with
hills introduced for the purpose of
Gffecting financial reforms. The
present session will be devoted in
large measure to a study of finances,
especially as they touch upon our
national banking laws, and the peo-
pie are due to witness campaign
of education along these lines.
it is interesting to note that
there is no unanimity of opinion re-
garding the changes that should be
made in our banking laws, even
among eminent flnanciers. Some
are calling for scientific and elias
afc currency based on bank assets.
TO provide for periods of great mon
@y demands they would authorize
the banks to increase their circula-
zion to. say, 90 per cent of their
paid-up capital, to be issued upon
savings bank securities to be de-
posted with the controller of the
currency and to be taxed to such an
extent as to compel the speedy re-
turn and cancellation of such notes
when business needs for their use
mo longer exist
Another plan is for the govern
ment to issue emergency notes not
TO exceed 500, 900, 900. during the
periods of great panics, and to banks
only, to be held by them as reserve,
these emergency notes to draw 2

NORTHWEST INLAND NOTES

Walla Walla.-Advices have been
received from Olympia that the SUI
preme court handed down decision
Thursday to the effect that the
100000 bond issue for the erection
of city hall and fire department
is legal. The question of the legali-
ty of the issue was the right of the
city to bond itself in excess of the
5 per cent law. The decision will
be a great relief to Walla Walla,
as the city hall is practically COM
pleted and the fire station will be
ready for occupancy within short
time. The construction has not
been interrupted by the legal con-
troversy, the contractor taking the
view that the buildings were worth
the amount involved in the con-
tract.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec 13.-On the
waters of far-famed Hampton Roads
where nearly half a century ago the
Monitor and the Merrimac met in
memorable conflict there rests at
anchor today the mightiest fleet of
American battleships the history of
the nation has ever known. An
chored in the broad channel-way,
within easy view of the shore are
sixteen mighty fortresses of the sea,
wide-hulled., squat and heavy-the
backbone of the American navy.
The battleships, which have as
sembled here preparatory to depart
ing Monday morning on the $4,000
mile cruise to the Pacific coast, are
the Connecticut, Louisiana, Kansas,
Vermont, Georgia, Virginia, New

llensburg.-Fears are entertain
ed here that the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and ST. Paul railroad will not
only pass up Ellensburg as the point
where the shops and division point
will be located, but will establish a
rival city within seven or eight
miles from the place. The fears
have been occasioned by the recent
transfer of tract of several hun
dred acres to the railroad company.
The land is located but seven miles
east of here and is penetrated by
the new road. The general belief
is that the land is purchased for the
purpose of establishing the shops
and division buildings, which will
result in the establishment of a
city of no little Importance.

est in the county's history. The
record is considered particularly
good in the face of the financial
stringency in all sections of the
country, and is but another example
of the wealth of a country where
the farmers raise grain, sell fat
cattle and hogs and support a large
number of creameries.

Of tranquility not confinel to their own

thought to time "when the w::-tlrum

were furl d in the parlia: :.ient Of man,

AS Jews, then, which necessarily
means as humanitarians, we shall all ex-

conference, earnestly trusting that its
results may make a material contribu-

For we will yield to none in our horror

not little to win the sympathies of

it is blunder, a grim paradox, an ut

PEACE
By the Rev. Morris Joseph

1.-The Lord lift up His face unto thee
and give thee peace (Numbers, W.,
26).
These are the concluding words of the
priestly benediction. Peace. the last, i'll
order of the boons it promises, is also,
it tells us, the climax, the very epltomt
Of all blessedness. This thought finds re-
peated expression alike in the Bible and
in the Rabbinic writings, and is echoed
in the Prayer Book, the embodiment OF
the spirit Of both lteratures. There is
nothing wonderful in the fact. The as
piration after peace is natural instinct
of the human soul, for it is the outcome
of self-lOve, however enlightened; and
that religion must be indeed poor and
debased which does not take the aspira-
ton into account and strive to quicken
and to ennoble it, Peace-we all desire
it for ourselves and for our country. We
yearn for ease of body and mind, for re-
lief from the daily rush and ttlrmoi!
that frets and wears the nerves, for
surcease of care and anxiety and pain.
And we long, too, for that sense OF ma
tional security which drives away fear,
and supplies industry and enterprise
with the energy and courage which are
their life e-blood. No; there is no real
happiness without peace. 1t is the one
blessing needed to crown and complete
all the others. If, say the Rabbins, we
lack this supreme gift, then, though we
have all else, we have nought.
Before many days have passed the
second great Peace Conference will as
semble at the Hague. By a strange irony
the idea of holding these periodica!
meetings originated with the Tsar who
has hitherto signally failed to keep peace
within his own borders. If the humane
and enlightened feelings which created
