The government deficit causes no
alarm, and it is freely predicted that
there will be no occasion for the ma
tional banks to avail themselves Of
the new emergency currency law.
Many reasons have been advanced in
explanation of this unexpected turn of
affairs. but the most plausible appears
to be that the October furry was a
panic only In limited sense. Indeed,
the quick recovery seems to prove be-
yond question that the trouble was
manufactured for a purpose not due
to natural conditions. The country waS
too prosperous to go into Mysteries.
The farmers had plenty in their gran
aries and cellars. They were not wor-
rying, and it was their sanity that had
much to do with the restoration to or
der. The alarm in New York was gen.
uine enough, for frightened capital
rarely stops to inquire. There was
imminent danger Of a stampede, but
fortunately the equanimity Of the
country remote from the big centers
Of finance, had a salutary effect in
checking the tide.
The experience is valuable, however,
in showing the decadence of the pure
ly speculative market as a controlling
factor in American finance.

A RAPID RECOVERY.

A few short months ago the financial
centers of the country were complain
ing of a money stringency. There was
a large deficit in the reserves which
the New York banks aim to keep on
hand above the legal requirement, de-
posits were at low ebb. and there was
apparently no relief in sight.
1t seemed as If that subtle human
quality which is called confidence had
taken flight and left the nation help
less against the attacks of pessimists.
Many financiers confess their inabil-
ity to satisfactorily explain the sud-
denness of the recovery. Nothing like
it was ever known before. Millions OF
money reappeared from the stockings
and safety vaults as if by magic and
found it's way again into the banks
Heretofore IT had been a matter OF
years before the nation could right
itself after weathering a financial gale
Capital, quick to retreat after the frs
into the channels of trade only after
much coaxing.
But the present experience is of the
unusual kind. AS far as the supply
of money. is concerned, the country i:
already normal. The banks are flushed
with currency, so much so that the
secretary of the treasury is not ever
precedes crop moving. He doesn't an

TAFTS RELIGIOUS VIEWS.

The more attention that is called to
the fact that Mr.. Taft is heterodox in
his religion in that he is a member Of
the Unitarian church, the more votes
will he get out of pure sympathy that
he should be attacked on such unscrup-
ulous grounds. Except among a few
theological freaks, the people of this
country never question a mans religion
so long as he is a sincere and honest
man and they consider a Unitarian
quite as much of a Christian gentle
man as they do any individual of any
other denomination. The flag Of liberty
in this country was first unfurled on
Plymouth Rock because band of peo-
pie sought a place where they could
worship God as they pleased. And that
has ever been one of the basic pillars
on which this government has so
firmly stood. It's up to the ministers
and others who are covertly attacking
Mr.. Taft's character because of his
religious views to hang their heads in
shame.
