Currency Reform rp Again.

The financial disturbance will serve
to bring the question of currency re-
form more urgently than ever to the
attention of COneress. EN-Gavernor
Eerrick of Ohio was quoted in yes
terdayS Tribune as saying that the
movement for an asset currency was
spreading throughout the country,
and there seems to us TO he evidence
in our newspaper exchanges that the
idea of imparting some elasticity to
the currency IS coming to be better
understood and more generally favor
ed. The realization is growing that
there are business emergencies which
this courtryS rigid system does not
meet and that other nations have
currencies better adapted than ours
to the needs of commerce which in
actual operation have proved to be
perfectly safe.
The present effcrts Of the Treasury
authorities TO increase the national
bank note circulation illustrate some
of the faults of our system. Bank
reserves are low from the recent Girls
is, and the West is already calling up
on the East for money to move its
crops, while after a short interval
will begin another flosv OF money IN
various directions to serve the needs
OF the holiday trade. In a country
where a credit currency is issued by
the banks the resief OF the local
needs of business is prompt and not
attended by disturbance of the cur
rency supply in Ot1er sections. The
banknotes are issued promptly and
retired as promptly when they have
served their purpose. But when this
country needs ADDITIONAL currency for
the regular pressing demands OF the
fall trade and crop moving the Sec
retary of the Treasury must call the
attention of bankers to his Wiling
ness to accept other bonds IN place
of the United States bonds securing The
government. deposits in the banks. me
bankers must, if they wish to issue
mere currency, supply the other bonos
which must be accepted by the sec
retary, and then the notes are put
out. The process has been proved
Ry past experience to be slow. tne
emergency has Passed, and If the
currency Is issued. Now when tins
extra currency is put into ctrculauon'

ROOSEVELT THE SHERIFF
A Parable About Certain Malefac1ors
Of Great Wealth.

Ihe president believes that his pO-
Sltion i'll the present Widespread agi-
tatOn against enormous cOrpOra-
t1ons IS analogous to that Cf the sheriff
who, having caught a criminal red
handed, Js bound to use ali means to
bring him to justice. but is always
bound to protect him from mob viO-
lence and lynching. Carrying the
comparison farther. if n man is point
ed out to a sheriff by the mob as a
criminal, It is no less and ne more
than his duty to seek to bring that
man ~ Justice and a fair trial wheth-
er he re innocent or guilty.
President Roosevelt clearly indica-
ted his attitude with respect to the
prevailing financial agitation directly
on lifs return to Washington on Octo-
Der 18th Following a hurried con-
ference with Secretaries Root, Cor
telHOu. and others whose judgment
he respects, is was decided that ev-
! erything within the power 6f the ad-
minlstration would be promptly done
to maintain confidence in those banks
and financial institutions that could
show a clean bill of health. Conse-
Quent'V, government funds. IN the sum
of'many rlllliOrs, were rushed to New
York and deposited in national banks
throughout the country to IOrtify sub
Stantial business interests, but not to
De used in support of spectators
masking in the name of honest enter
prise.
Long ago when Mr. Roosevelt was
n civil service commissioner at Wash
1ngtOn. he detected the cunning storm
OF indignation against corporate mis-
doingS. When he became president,
the duty which doomed largest before
him was that of Imposing himself be-
tween This torrent of angry, and often
unjust, criticism and the objects of it.
The president believes that if he had

fee and his popularity between the
agitatOrS and the mixed company Of
