The Nations Cash.

An official statement just given out
at Washington asserts that on Nov. 1
the amount of money in the United
States was fraction over $50 per
capita. This. it is pointed out, is more
than the proportionate supply of cur
rency in any other great country in
the world, with the single exception of
France, which has about $40 for every
man, woman and child within its
boundaries.
1t is highly probable that before the
month closes the showing will be more
favorable in this respect. Not fewer
than sixty millions of European gold
have arrived. are in transit, or have
been engaged for the United States,
and each dollar in gold is ordinarily
computed as affording a safe basis for
several dollars of paper currency. Fur
thermore, some millions are certain to
be added by the action of those ma
tional banks which have responded to
the invitation of the secretary of the
treasury to put more of their notes
Yet while these measures may allie
viate the present pinch, it by no means
follows that the country will then have
sufficient currency for it's legitimate
requirements-even if the frightened
or uneasy bank depOsitors who draw
out their cash to hide and hoard it
shall regain their nerve and redepOsit
the money where it can again earn in
terest for themselves and do useful
work in affording funds for trade and
manufacturers. After the temporary
check is over the nation will need
more money than it has if it is to &c
on, even at a somewhat. slower rate
in expanding its industries and devel
oping its resources. With an area eX
ceeding that of all continental Europe
except Russia, its rightful demands fol
cash as the instrument of business
cannot be measured by those of the
smaller countries across the Atlantic
THIS republic has been doing thing:
on a huge scale in the past 10 years
No more imperative duty rests upoI

REPUBLIC OR EMPIRE, up TO VOTERS

Especial Washington Correspondence of
The Argus.)
What is to be done in Washington In
the way of politics is matter now Of
political discussion and matter of
very great doubt. The president has,
of course, control of the situation. But
what the president is going to do must
be determined by the men who are
back of him and with whom he joins.
He has been beaten in all the vital
elections in states which he thought
he could control. He was beaten in
Ohio, in New York and in Kentucky.
Men are claiming that he won in Ken
lucky, but as Il matter of fact he lost.
The Kentucky success was not a pres
idential success, but a purely local vic
tory, largely due to local interests. The
Roosevelt papers are insisting that the
result of the elections was an APP
prevail for the administration. Nobody
knows better than Mr. Roosevelt him
self that this is absolutely untrue.

Nobody will question Mr.. Roosevelt's

Latest Idea i'm City Beauty.

Interest in the American Civic asso-
citation, which meets in Providence
this week, shows that cities, small and
great, in all parts of the country, are
pleasantly vying with one another in
the felicitous enterprise of making
their local environment more pleasing
and attractive to the eye as well as
more sanitary and hygienic.
1t is novel plan of combining beau
ty with utility which is carried on in
Texas, where pecan trees are now
planted for shade and decorative eff
feet, the 5-year-old tree being trans
planted from the native forest and
afterwards grated with buds from the
paper-shell pecan, in year or two to

hard to pick any man in Ohio who
would have made Il stronger candidate
against Tom Johnson. Besides his per-
sonal characteristics, he had the sup
port of the president, of Secretary Taft
and of Secretary Garfield. He himself
said that he had accepted the nomi-
nation only because of the personal

bers Of his party. Yet when the time
came for the people to vote Mr.. Bur
ton was beaten by practically 10000.

stands for democracy, but not for ma
chine democracy, was elected by

although the Hearst organization for
got its professed democracy and fused
with the Republicans.
In New Jersey the normal Republic.
an majority has been cut down to
practically 5000. 1t is true that the
issue was a local one. Mr.. Roosevelt
finds some consolation in the fact that
it was cut down once before. He has
| descended from the dignity of the pres
| idential office to explain that this losn
OF power in New Jersey is in no sense
| attributal to him, but is simply the re-
| suit of local conditions or of an Oft
year. This may be true. but it is also
| true that Mr.. Roosevelt is the first
president who has stopped from his
| Office to discuss the question of cleo
ton returns. When Grover Cleveland
was in the White House and an OF
| election went against him he had moth

about Mr.. Cleveland, he ut least did
not descend to the plane of the ordi-
