Concerning the currency ques-
ton, the President says:
again urge on the Congress
the need of immediate attention
to this matter. We need a greater
elasticity IN our currency; pro.
yided, OF course, that we recognize
the even greater need of a safe and
secure currency. There must al.
ways be the most rigid examina-
tion by the National authorities.
Provision should be made for an
emergency currency. The emcr.

made with an effective guaranty,

During such times as the pres
ent, when money cannot be had at
a premium, and when the ban ks
have to look sharp to make all
ends meet, the most dispicable
thing o man can do is to deiiber-
ately circulate stories, greatly
magnified and multiplied IN an
effort to iniure the bank and get
its depositors frightened. This
has been done recently in Stafford
and by business men here who
knew better In fact it was re-
ported that the Bank of Stafford
would not open last Monday and
that no exchange could be had
from that institution. Neither re.
port contained a word Of truth,
which was soon learned by ali
who paid enough attention to the
stories to enquire. While these
stories had "scary" effect on
some depositors for few hours,
they will finally act as booma
rang upon the heads of their origi
nators. The fact that the heaviest
depositors Of this bank, and all
others in the valley, have not
Withdrawn their deposits, nor at,
tempted to do so, is a guarantee
that these institutions are solid
and able to take care of their
business.

Anthony will doubtless explain the
reasons of his policy to such politi

At the present time, the revolution
idea is outside the field of practical
politics, but William OBrien, in a
recent speech at Cork, advocated the
Irish council bill as a measure which
will have given three-fourths of the
Irish government into the hands OF

states, after which he will become the

1t is stated that the visit of the

has no political or diplomatic bearing
but he will meet many men of in
fluence interested in the welfare of
Ireland and will doubtless expound
the merits of the Irish policy.
1t is well known that Sir Anthony
is responsible for the revolution idea
and the principal feature of the Irish
council bill, and it was his confident
hope that the country would insist on
the Irish party accepting the measure.
