TWO BIG QUESTIONS

copyrighted. 1906. by Alfred C. C!ari.)
When the thrifty person or his wife
sits down for the first time-or any
time-with the mail order catalogue
and its temptations. there are two.
aud only two. points to be taken into
consideration.
One of these is moral obligation,
and the chances are that that will be
dismissed as sentimental NONSENSE
The other is-Will it pay? and to
that the thrifty person will be in
clined to interpret an answer from he
prices quoted in black-faced figures in
the catalogue.
Neither of these questions shonld
be lightly dismissed. Moral oblg
ton is not sentimental nonsense, and
biack-faced figures sometimes lie.
The duty a man owes to his own
community and his obligation to trade
at home are so often reiterated IN the
country press that, possibly like some
cf the preaching, it has tendency
to harden the hearts of the sinners

spokes from a hub. bring to your

modern times.

your most accessible trading point,
your only post office and social center,
the only place to which you could look
to connect you with the outside
world?
Have you ever noticed that the first
thing the settlers of a newly-opened
reservation do is to send for wagon
load of mail order catalogues? Well.
haven't They lay out town site
every six or eight miles, start two or
three general stores. build a school
house, a church, blacksmith shop, a
grain elevator. petition the depart
ment for a post ONCE. and start a
newspaper. They know. from former
experience that, with these things
close by, life will be endurable. what
ever hardships may come. They know,
also. that without them they must live
lives of isolation and endure an exist
ence that is contrary to all natural
human instincts.
On the other hand, it goes without
saying. that the average country town
cannot exist without the support of
it's tributary territory. Then. If that
town affords the advantages for the
rural citizen that have been enumerat-
ed, there exists what we may call an
interdependence and a moral obliga-
ton between the two. Are you, Mr.
Thrifty Farmer, living up to that OBJ
legation when you do your trading
with the mail order house?
To this line of argument the farmer
may answer that his greatest obliga-
ton, his first duty. is to his immediate
household, and that among the duties
to his family and to the heirs of his
estate is that Of practicing judicious
economy-buying where he can buy

Then the big bank did its duty
The officials knew that every note

amply secured. and they determined
that IL the people wanted hard money

That night the bank remained open.
and the procession of coolies kept
up. The next day the bank did not
close. And every hour for five days
and five nights this rush continued.
Extra funds from other branches
of the corporation were hurriedly re-
called and every note met. Then the
drain slackened and the officials
treathed easier. How many thou
sands of dollars in good English coin
was withdrawn has never been di-
vulged. Suffice it to say that when
the year was rounded out and the
statement of the bank made. the high
err officials were surprised. They
again set about to see il a forgery
had not been perpetrated. Their in
vestigation merely brought out the
fact that practically every note is
ued by the bank had been returned,
and that all appeared genuine. Then
more notes began to come in. Cen
uine depositors and those holding the
real notes began to be frightened by
the rumors floating broadcast, and
coming for the most part from drunk
en-. opium-crazed coolies who had Sc
cured unacustomed amounts of mon
ey. These depositors began to pre-
sent their notes for payment. Then
the bank officials knew there had
been a great crime. Inspection prov
ed futile. and they decided to lay the
matter before American and English
experts. The result is now known.

This is the condition in the far

which were absolutely unaccountable.

Where Will II Stop?
This institution is understood to
be backed by the French government.
1t paid dollar for dollar on every
note. The run continued in tremen-
dous volume. and the officials fixed
upon a drastic move. They recalled
every note of the bank that was in
circulation, and for five days kept
them from passing Quito the public.
1t was hoped in this way to unearth
the holders of the counterfeits. 1t was
unsuccessful, and the bank resumed
the circulation of its notes.
THE Imperial Bank of China has
experienced similar runs. Where this
is going to stop the bankers cannot
say. The only reason it has not caus-
ed a suspension of business in the far
east is that every man thinks he has

act worry. The only man now wor-
wing is the banker. who is almost
palsied by the thought that the mil
lions of notes he is carefully guarding
in his vaults may be merely a mass
of counterfeits made by the Japanese.
The bankers look to the paper
manufacturers to save the day. So
lar the only basis for declaring any
of the notes forgeries has been a dis
crepancy in the paper. 1t takes some.
thing more than imitation to make

notes. This last condition may be
