COUNTRY BANKS BOARDING.

New York bankers are beginning
to charge the country banks with I'M
necessarily boarding their funds. and
the advice so generally given to de-
pOsitors a few weeks ago is being
passed on to the small banks.
Country banks, having built up
tneir reserves, are in some instances
us fearful of the New York market as
the depositOrs were of banks general
Ky. 1t all goes to show what slow
process ii is TO restore complete con-
fidence after 1t has once been upset.
The review of the financial situa-
! ton by the latest issue of the New
York Sunday World makes boarding
by country banks the main subject
OF comment. It Is claimed that the
statement of condition, called for by
the Comptroller of Currency, showed
| that the country banks were very
strong and were indeed piling up
their reserves so far beyond the ne
CesGities of safety that they were eX-
crcising the same influence on the
general situation as the timid depos.
itOr during the panic. 1t is held that
while New York banks cut down
their reserves to 20 per cent. in order
to help the country, the ones assisted
| have taken advantage of the OvJor-
tunity to pile up reserves of from 80
to 20 per cent. This has aroused the
New Workers to suggest to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury that he with
draw deposits from banks where they
are not needed and put the Federal
money where it will be used.
Speculation is what the country
banks are mortally afraid of. 1t is
tine old question of confidence. They
carried large loans in New York and
Il speculative corner created condi-
ton that made it impossible for them
to get their coin,
If country money is used in the le-
Ultimate course of legitimate bust
ness IT will rapidly find its way back
to New York, but it will take months
and years for the Western banks to
IFGt over the feeling that they can
better take the chance of investment
offerings in their own immediate vi
Cinity than speculate on the good in.

tentions of Wall-Street manipula-
ton.
The New Workers, however, expect
to build up their coin reserves by taxi
ing il out of the hide of trade. The
World says that the leading banking
authorities anticipate an accumula-
ton of money at the metropolis after
the first of the year as a result of
general contraction and a Curtailment
of credits.
THEY believe, however, that every
effort should be used to prevent its
falling into the hands of spectators
CT the building up of bank reserves to
a point that will bring about stagna-
ton in the money market. which
wOuld undoubtedly be attended by an
outflow of gold to Europe. They be-
lieve, however, that the Secretary OF
the Treasury will be prompt to relieve
such a condition by withdrawing
Government deposits when the bank
surplus has become sufficiently large
u permit VI luc return VI bONtIn-
ment funds to the Treasury without
embarrassment to the business inter-
csts.
Such an action would maintain
the rate for money at point which
would enable our bankers to keep the
gold which We have received, unless
an emergency should develop abroad
which it would be their duty to re-
lleve. Commercial and financial con-
ditions in Germany are sG,h r..
they are liable at any tins 20 !cIs,r2
assistance from this count. Co..
many, like the United States, has had
an unusual period of prosperity and
expansion, which has caused an eX-
pansion of credits to point beyond
that which the cash resources of its
banking institutions have justified.
Cur own trouble has, for the moment,
distracted attention from this situa-
ton, but it Is one that still contains
some elements of danger"

SCHOOL FARMING

Down in San Antonio, Texas, the
school authorities have developed in
connection with the public schools a
system of school gardens or farms
which W. T. Carter of the United
States Department of Agriculture
pTOnounces one OF the finest in the
country. Mr.. Carter, who is an eX-
pert, Is making a tour of inspection
Of school gardens, and says he finds
great interest in the movement to
make gardening and agriculture a
part of public education.
Naturally this newest phase of pub
lie education has received great at
tention, for San Antonio is the centre
of the largest section for truck farm
ing in the Southwest. Soil and eli
matte conditions have combined to
develop thousands of acres of gardens
in this section that ship annually
thousands of carloads of vegetables
to the north and east nearly 1000
carloads of onions alone went out,
and other vegetables in proportion.
The school children, of course
have caught the agricultural enthu-
silsm and have made a display of the
products of their gardens at the San
Antonio Ir.e: national Fair, which
closed recently, that was astonishing

Carl Schurz "reminiscences
The extraordinary popular interest
aroused by the two series already
published has decided the editors to
add several other articles during
1908. At the close of the war Mr..
Schurz' acquaintance included near
~ all the political leaders of the day.
His estimates and descriptions OF
these men are Invaluable for their
remarkable vlvidness and the fresh
ness Of first-hand impressions. In
these later articles, Mr.. Schurz tells
of his services as a United States SEN
ator, of his career as an editor, OF
his activities as a man of letters and
a public-spirited citizen.
Ellen Terry Memoirs
II would be difficult to overstate
the importance of Ellen Terry's Me-
moirs-tSey are a chronicle of the
literary and artistic development of
the last half-century. They present
the impressions of a woman, who dur
ing her extraordinary experience
came into contact with nearly All the
foremost personages of her time. They
tell the story of a gifted artist and a
lovable woman, and in way that
displays to a peculiar degree the Won
derful charm of her personality.
The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy
The articles on the History OF
Christian Science and the Life of
Mary Baker G. Eddy" by Georgine
Milmine, have been recognized the
country over as the most important
series of the year. In the closing
chapters will be found an account OF
Conspiracy and Rebellion" the sec
end rupture of Mrs. Eddy's ranks and
the secessions OF thirty-siX of the
leaders of her church; War in

The Serial Of the Year
Those who enjoy good serial VIII
do well not to miss The Wayfarers,
by Mary Stewart Cutting, which be-
gins in the December number. 1t is
one of the rarest things in modern
literature--a real love story-and the
author of Little Stories of Married
Life" has her own fresh and delight
full way of telling it. Romance Is
Il towering weed that grows in any
SOIL" she declares in the opening
chapter, and Mrs. Cutting takes her
characters, average men and women
of moderate means--the representa-
tive class of the country-through a
most interesting series of business
and domestic adventures.
Stories of Adventure
Then, there are to come many good
Old-fashioned thrilling tales of ad-
venture, both fiction and authentic
narratives of personal experience. A
series of adventures in the South
Seas by new writer, stories OF the
early days of the West, when herds
of cattle ran wild and hostile Indians
lay in wait for the dauntless pioneer.
But most thrilling of all is series
giving the actual experiences of de-
tectlve who was involved in the wild
ct life of the West. Seldom has any
magazine offered such an abundance
and variety as McClure's will publish
during 1908.

II the republican party is I'm moderate
contention, the democratic party is far
worse off in dire confusion. The issue be-
tween Roosevelt and Hartman only helps
the president and his politics. Even the
battle between Taft and Foraker does not
seriously disturb the serenity of the party
or endanger it's success. Its prospect could
only be imperiled by doubling on its track
and reversing it's popular forward move
ment.
But the democratic party is IN a mixed
state of inanition and bewilderment II
has no candidate for president but Mr..
Bryan, and Mr. Bryan has no policy or
platform but phantasy So loose are the
party associations that John Temple Graves
proposes that Bryan shall nominate Roose-
welt. So uncertain are the party positions
that Colonel Watterson, fresh from Eu-
rope after a four months absence, didn't
know that Bryan had struck a new fetish
in the initiative and referendum and is dis
posed TO drive out Of the party every man
who does not accept his claptrap
The Generalization of the democracy is
strikingly illustrated in this poverty OF
leadership and this destination OF ideas.
Mr.. Bryan is possibly regarded with less
apprehension than at any time since he
bounded INTO puDlc prominence, There Is
apparently no such violent dread Of his ex-
IRENE and dangerous views as prevailed
in 1895 or in 1900 He goes into promiscu-
Gus and nonpolitical assemblages where
men OF all parties gather and receives
marks OF personal favor and even OF pop
ularity. In his own party ne meets nc

the conservatives who antagonized him in
his previous contests accept his candidacy
without question.

The Park board proposes now to
pave West Leavenworth street and pay
for the same out of the park fund by
an evasion of the law, which, al
though practiced on one or two other
occasions, is nonetheless questionable.
The theory by which our street i'm
provements are made is that city pave
ments shall be paid for by special as
sessment upon the abutting property,
while boulevards shall be constructed
and maintained as part Of the park
system and paid for out of the pro
ceeds Of taxes on property throughout
the city. II this line of demarcation
were strictly adhered to perhaps no in
justice would be done, but when streets
which are no part of the boulevard
system are taken over by the Park
board as boulevards simply for the
purpose of paving them, Immediately
thereafter to resume their character as
streets, a fraud is perpetrated upon
Iht property OWutIb WHO nave pdlu Abi
paving their own streets and are then
called upon to pay a second time for
other property owners under pretense
of constructing boulevards.
Yet this is what the Park board has
done and proposes to do again, and pre-
sumably as often as pressure enough
shall be brought in behalf of any par
ticular thoroughfare that can borrow
the name of boulevard long enough to
get paved at public expense. The ex-
cuse that the work is to be done with
money derived from the county road
fund, that the street connects existing
city pavements with a paved county
road and that the county board might
rot turn over the money except for the
stipulation that it be devoted to this
particular purpose, does not in any
way alter the basic facts. The scheme
is decidedly questionable, to put it
mildly, and threatens to lead to still
greater abuses and injustice.
