ance as he published on Sunday. While
all the world waited on his utterance
expecting and hoping for a speech that
would calm the people and give heart
to the men who were trying to carry
a terrific burden, he struck home with
utterances that showed no appreciation
of mis- responsibility, which only added
to the gloom and for a time imperiled
the very foundations of the nations
well-being.
In the time that has elapsed since
then, he evidently has been sobered
by the violent criticism of his speech
and the strong demand for a cessation
of mis- perennial attacks on the good
faith of all corporations, good or bad.
If ne cannot repair the damage he has
done by instilling suspicion of all in
vestments in the public mind, he can
still allay the storm which he helped
to. raise. AS he says in his letter, the
business of the country is in sound
condition, and the actual production
of wealth in crops is ample guarantee
of the ultimate restoration of normal
conditions. The decline in the premium
on currency and gold in New York
foreshadows the end of the acute stage
in The crisis, the exports of commodi-
ties fol which cash must be paid is
gradually eliminating the necessity for
uneasiness as to the crop movements,
and affairs generally are assuming a
cheerful condition

Traveller was one of the most noted

He was a fine specimen of the Gray
Eagle stock, and was a great favorite
with his master. He came into the pos
session of General Lee early in 1862.
At first he was used as an extra horse,
but his indomitable pluck and splendid
qualities so appealed to General Lee
that he was used almost constantly

KING THEODORE 1.

Joseph r. Drake, a professor in the
| law department of the University of
Michigan, seriously suggested to a
class the other day that it would be a
good thing to make Theodore Roosevelt
king of the United States. Professor
Drake said he would vote for Roose-
welt TO be king, and later in his lee
ture he said he wanted to be taken SER
iously, that he meant what he said.
! The Roosevelt matter was made a part
of a talk on corporations.
Attacks on corporations were danger
Gus procedures, he said, but up to this
time Mi. Roosevelt had managed mat
| ters admirably. He favored the election
of Roosevelt as king because he be-
lieved the vested interests of the coun-
try would be safe in his hands. Also
because our frequent presidential cleo
tons have a tendency to disturb bus
mess and TO cause complications of
various kinds. With a life tenure for
| Roosevelt-and it is to be presumed for
his descendants as well-the country
would be all right, in the judgment of
the professor. We wonder if he really
expects people to take him seriously.
The Herald refuses to do so. The i'm
| mediate objection to the plan is that
it would be impossible to amend the
constitution of the United States in
time to give Mr.. Roosevelt continuous
tenure of Office. And as a lawyer,
Professor Drake knows that congress
could not enact a statute covering the
| ground; that is, a statute that would
stand the test. All amendments to the
constitution must be presented by con-
gress to the legislatures of the various
states, and three-fOurths of the legis-
latures must vote affirmatively in order
to make the amendment a part of the
! constitution. At the lowest calcula-
ton, four or five years would be re-
quired for this purpose.
What is more important, 1t is hardly
probable that a single legislature would
vote to transform this country into a
monarchy. We have gotten along quite
nicely, thank you, under a republican
ter all the time. It is a trifle late.
after the experiment has been tried
and proven so successful that it is no
longer an experiment TO talk of max
ing a change. The Herald suspects
that Professor Drake was in search of
a little advertising. He is likely to
get a great deal-as an ass.
Still, if Roosevelt were made king,
Son-iE-law LongwOrth would be Duke
Of Cincinnati, and Taft would be Earl
of Luzcn. These would do for a start
er In a little while we'd have
mushroom aristocracy that might keep
at home some of the millions we now
spend annually for foreign titles. So
there would be some compensation, af-

A WET BLOCK.
(Kansas City Times.)

Two pool halls, one grocery store,
one dry goods store and one furnishing
goods store-the other twenty-three
places saloons. Three mors across Sci
street.
That is the business inventory of the
wettest block in Kansas City. It's on
Ninth street, between Bell street and
the state line, and the numbers only
run from 100 to 1924. It's a short block,
and to supply the demands three other
saloons are just across Bell street in
the next block. In order to squeeze in
the twenty-three dramshops one build
ing at the corner of Ninth and Bell
streets is occupied by two places. Ihe
buildings for the most part are narrow
''shacks." A few are two-story build
ings, with rooms for dodgers above the
saloons.

SOLVING THE MONEY PROBLEM.

Fifty millions in Panama bonds
which viii be used as a basis for ad-
ditional national bank circulation, and
s100 900 in One-year three per cent
fnterest-bearing certificates, are to be
issued by the government in relief of
the currency shortage. That is to say,
in a time of profound peace and ma
tiOnal sOlvency, the interest bearing
debt of the nation is to be increased by
$3.50, zoo, 600.
There is no question as to the wis
dom Ct the step. It assures a supply
of cash for the movement of the cot
ton, wheat and corn crops, it evidences
the governments financial stability. it

been lOath to part with their gold I'M
less some government action was taken
on this side in cooperation as a relief
10 the drain on the worlds gold supply:
and finally, it ought to convince the
most timid Of investors and depositors
that the stringency in money is al
most altogether occasioned by their
needless alarm of a couple of weeks
ago-an alarm which resulted in the
violent contraction of circulation by
the withdrawal of money for boarding
purposes.
Evidently the government expects
the bond offerings and interest-bear-
ing certificates to bring out the hoard
ed money and restore il to circulation.
A man who has checked out his saw
ings and is looking for an absolutely
safe investment which viii be convert
IDLE into cash readily. will be at
tracted by either the Panama bonds or
the government certificates bearing
three per cent. He can find no more
secure investment, because these GER
tificates are backed by the unlimited
credit of the United States and its
enormous revenues. They are better
than his money because they pay in
terest, and are always negotiable for
cash. Reasoning on this basis the gov

With the great sums of gold imported
and to be received, this step should
restore the equilibrium of the money
market, and enable the banks of the
country to resume gradually the dis

house certificates. 1t IS probable the
resumption of cash settlements viii be
coincident with the flotation of the
government issues, though it Is prob
able the step will be gradual to provide
against any sudden unreasoning rush
against reserves.
That the financial interests of the
country regard this as the ultimate
solution of the money problem is
shown by the general tone of relief in
all the markets yesterday following
the presidents announcement of the
new plan. The relief was accentuated,
too, by the presidents letter to Secre-
tary CcrteIyou in which he dwells on
the fact that the business conditions
of the country are sound. In a grave
crisis, such as has been passed so re-

Alexander Graham Bell used to teach

at dinner in Washington he told this
story:
Many years ago an aged friend of

While ne was engaged in this work
he noticed that the sexton, from his
seat near the pulpit. kept froWning and
shaking his head at him.
Finally, just as my friend got his

it to his ear. the sexton FASTENED to
him and whispered fiercely:
