large ca bitals that act as deposit
tories fdt other banks throughout
the country. No other country,
as the World plainly points out,
allows this condition.
To protect the depositors and to
prevent the undue initiation of cred
it, the national banking law pro-
vides that banks ''must retain a
reserve of lawful money" Three
cities New York, Chicago and
ST. Louis-are made central re-
serve cities, where banks must
keep on hand in cash 25 per cent
of their deposits. Banks in twenty
eight other reserve cities must also
keep 35 per cent. reserve, but only
one-half of this need be in cash in
their vaults, the other half being
allowed to be deposited in New
York, Chicago or St. Louis banks.
In all other cities and towns the
banks must retain a reserve of Is
per cent, of which they need keep
on hand only two-ffths, being al
lowed to deposit the other three
fifths in reserve banks. This sys-
tenn drains the reserve money of
the United States to Wall street.
A commercial bank, char ging
merchants and manufacturers 6 per
cent. interest cannot afford to pay
interest on deposits in competition
with the Wall street banks, which
can frequently get 25 to 50 per
cent. on the Stock Exchange for
the use of their deposits: Thus
these reserve moneys gravitate to
the banks which can afford to pay
nigh interest on them.
Through this process the greater
part of the money of the country |
is drawn to the Wall street banks,
where it can be used to facilitate
Wall street gambling. Quoting
further from the Worlds article:
When the recent panic became acute
in November the Clearing House banks
deposits of over 81 200, 900, 900.
OF these deposits one-half were due to
other banks. On the loans, which |
slightly exceeded the deposits, over
half were on Stock Exchange collat-
eral That is, the money collected
from millions of depositors through
out the country by their local banks
was used as the basis of Wall street |
credit and was the real money i1 the
Stock Exchange game.
The World points out the meas
ures employed by European coun-
tries to dissociate stock gambling
from Legitimate business in which
recognized banking institutions
may assist, and then says:
"But it is imperative to consider
this gambling cannot be en-
tirely stopped. Certainly the State
of New York can Greatly restrict it
by it's power of taxation, which is the
power to prohibit. The stock trans
Ter tax should be greatly increased"
Something more than local legis-
ation is needed, and it is a sub
iect to which Congress might well
address its attention. 80 Nashville

The GOVERNOR
AND THE PRIMARY

In opening his campaign. after his
request. for a primary was ignored,
Patterson said: GAS a Democrat i
abide the decision, but have a rightto
appeal to Democrats, since a primary
is denied, that no political underhold
be taken in selecting delegates To the
convention and for fair playp Patter-
son did not pretentiously raise a lot Of
tin-pan thunder in the name OF the
people, but appealed to the party for
''fair play. ."-The American.
Since the American undertook
to state a part Of Governor Pat
terson's record on the primary
question, by which he recently
said his present pryition should
be known, it might have given it
! all. The burden of its comment
on this excerpt from the Govern
or's Vendome Theater speech is
flair play Yet it can hardly be
said to play fair with the public
Tor with the Governor in the man
ner In which the subject is pre-
sented.
The Governor did not acquiesce
without protest in the committees
action in denying him a primary,
and he made frequent references
\ to the right of the people to free
choice of candidates which, wheth-
er or not they come within the
Americans elegant classification
of 'tin-pan thunder" showed due
Difference to the popular will. The
following is complete copy of
the Governors reference to the
proposed primary as contained in
his Vendome speech:
GAS candidate / preferred a re-
quest to the Executive Committee
that the nomination for Governor by
the Democratic party be made by di-
rect vote of the people, believing that
this method was the fairest to ascer-
tain the popular will.
1.-THE attempt of some editors of
Democratic newspapers to draw a
distinction between primary for
Governor and that for United States
Senator, demonstrates how distinc-
tion may be drawn without diff
fereuce.
"TheySaid that the candidate for
Governor had never been nominated
by primary, but they had neglected
to say that neither has candidate
for Senator. They forgot to say that
in most of the States surrounding
Tennessee the primary plan for nomi-
mating candidates for Governor has
been adopted, with admirable results,
and to the satisfaction of the voters.
''The Executive Committee of the
State, in ignoring this request, took
of the Senatorial situation |
and expected that, in a general de-
Inand for a primary and in the intense
interest which had been aroused in
that contest, it could escape criticism
in denying the people another right.
l assert that more reasons can be CIV
en- why gubernatorial primary is de-
sirable.
"The Senator deals with National
questions; the Governor with State
affairs.
"The Senator is removed from the
people to Washington; the Governor
IS in direct, official and personal con-
,act with the people.
The Constitution of the United
states provides that the Senators

"A full-page editorial article re-
Gently appeared in the New York
World headed Wall Street
Worst Of Gambling Places. \ The
World does not often indulge in
editorial discussion on one sub
ject to this extunt, but the subject
deserved the space and the man
ner of treatment was in accord
with its IMPORTANCE.
The constitution Of New York
requires that the State Legislature
shall pass appropriate.laws to pre-
vent gambling. The World says
this section of the constitution
should be made to apply to all
forms Of gambling and adds:
"Nowhere is its enforce men t
more ii e d e d than in the New
York Stock Exchange, the Con-
solidated Stock Exchange, the Cotton
Exchange and on the Broad street
curb. Race-track gambling at its
worst is an evil of petty consequence
in comparison with Wall street gam
Lling. Race-track gambling injured
only those who bet on horses. Wall
street gambling MAY menace the legiti-
mate business of'the entire nation"
1t is this gambling feature OF
Wall street dealings that has made
the name1of the street reproach
in the estimation Of large num-
Der of the American people. 1t
has brought about character OF
dealing with great enterprises and
industries and with the affairs OF
public service corporations that is
largely, if not wholly, responsible
for the prejudice and distrust
with which these corporations are
regarded by many people. The
deviltry of the so-called money
power and combined wealth of
which the politicians complain has
come for the most part from no
legitimate management of corpor-
ations, but from the manner in
which they are manipulated for
speculative purposes on Wall
street by those who call tEem-
selves inanciers, but who are
really, as the World says, as much
gamblers as the men who make
''books" on the race tracks. The
World further says:
In no other country than the United
States are incorporated banks part of
the machinery of stock gambling. In
no other country are the methods of
stock gamblers such as to require the
constant use for that sole purpose of
hundreds OF millions of dollars of 9th
er peoples money In no other coun-
try is the National Treasury called
upon to turn over the public revenues
for the use of members of stock ex-
change. In London, Paris, Berlin,
Frankfort and Amsterdam gamblers
in stocks must use their own money
and their own credit as if they were
playing at Monte Carlo instead of on
stock exchange.
Of the immense business done
opsthe New York Stock Exchange,
which the World says is "the
greatest gam b ling institution"
that exists on earth, Y94 per cent,
it has been calculated, is nothing
more than bets that the prices of

EXPECT TO WIN MEET
American Athletes Hope to
Garry Off First Honors

ALL IN GOOD CONDITION.

New York, July 11-There seems to
be no good reason why America
should not continue her winning ca
reer at the Olympic games this year.
unless her athletes. who will be in
London for the contests which begin
in the Stadium on July IS. are out of
condition. The trials for the teams
| to represent the various countries
have been finished and none has
shown any world heaters who should
lower the colors of the American team,
in most of the events in which its
members will compete. In fact, ac-
cording to the records already made
| by the Americans, it seems as if they
should carry off more first places than
they did at Athens in 1906, although
they can hardly hope to equal the rec.
ord of 1904 at St Louis. According
to the traits already held, if all com
petitors run up to their best form. the
American list of victories should con-
tain eighteen first places; England
should get five; Canada one, and Ger.
+ many two, while the tug -of-war is ex.
ceedingly doubtful. All this depends
upon the physical condition of the
competitors on July 18th.

Association Will Make Efforts
To Have the Railroads
Adopt Them.

New York. July IA demand will
be made for the use of steel fireproof
cars on all of the railroads in the Unit
ed States by the Travellers Protective
Association of America. 1t has been
stated that large per centage of loss
of life and limb on railroads is due to
the telescoping and burning of cars
in train wrecks, which renders it i'm
possible to release the victims. In the
opinion of prominent car builder ag-
itation and legislation will not be re-
CURED. The age of steel in passenger
car construction and equipment, he
says, has arrived. The railroads are
responsible and will see that it ad-
vances and developes as rapidly as
circumstances will permit.
