MRS CLARA c. MATHIESON.
Newtown, Friday, July 3, 1908

Cur community was greatly saddened by the death of Mrs Clara c. Mathie- son, wife of James J. Mathieson, which occurred at her parents home on Sunday, June A, after several weeks of illness which she bore heroically. The removal of a young life seems doubly sad, just as it was ready to be- gin its responsibilities and enjoyment of home life with loved ones about her. And thus another home is broken up and her husband and little daughter, Viola May, are left without a com panion and mother. Mrs Marhieson was born March 12, 1887. She received her early education in the district school at the Station and later attend ed the Booth school, from which she graduated at the age of 15 years and expected then to fit herself for 1 teach CT, but Fate otherwise decreed. She was a girl of loveable disposition and always had a host of friends among her schoolmates and in later years she always made friends with those she come in contact with and she was al- ways trying in every way to do good to those who were thrown in her pathway day by day. She was a kind and lov- ing daughter, wife and mother and a true friend. On June IT, 1903. she was married to James J. Mathieson, who with the little daughter. Viola May, are left to greatly mourn their loss, as are also her parents, MT and Mrs D. c. Garrison, and sister, Miss Annie Grace Garrison. Mrs Mathieson was born, brought up, married and died in the same house and her funeral occurred on the fifth anniversary of her wedding day and was held from her parents home on Wednesday afternoon, June IT, at 1ao'clock, Rev c. D. Chunn of Waterbury officiating. The burial was in the family lot at the Roxbury Gen. ter cemetery. There were a large number of beautiful floral tributes. The bearers were Albert Buckingham. Clayton B. Squires, Calvin Crofut and Burr Castle. The husband and little daughter, the father, mother and sis ter all have the deep sympathy of the whole community and they wish through the columns of The Bee to ex- press their heartfelt thanks to all their friends and ne;ghbors for the great kindness and sympathy shown during the time of the last sickness and death of their loved one.

OKLAHOMA'S EXPERIMENTS.

The newest State, unless we are
sadly mistaken, is not going to live
in ignoble tear of Precedent. This
monetary trouble has been engag-
ING her attention, and an interest
ing bank law results. Under this
law all State banks must keep in
the hands of a State board a sum
equal to one per cent. of their
average deposits. as a 'depositors
guaranty fund" If a State bank
fails the board shall draw upon this
fund to whatever amount may be
necessary in order to pay dapositors
IN full, and replenish the fund by
an assessment LEVIED ratably accord
ing to deposits on all the banks.
This device, we judge, should
provide a complete guaranty to
every depositor in every State bank;
hence should leave no excuse for
runs and hoarding-those black
plaques of banking. Any National
bank in the State may pay in its
one per cent. assessment and secure
the guaranty to its depositors on
equal terms with State banks.
In New York and Chicago the big
banks meet an acute disturbance
by standing together as a unit in
their clearing house associations.
The Oklahoma law contemplates a
like solidarity for all the banks IN
the State. Whether the reserve
provisions of the act will not mill
tate against State banks as COM
pared with National, remains to be
seen. But the guaranty feature is
the best answer yet on any statute
book to the problem raised by the
October trouble-Saturday Even

ment of troubles connected with
revenues, expenditures and taxa
ton It Is not a rich country. Its
population is crowded, and while
industrious and intelligent, is ac
customed to small wages, and what
western countries would consider
limited fare. In its great and
remarkable effort to defend itself
from the advance of Russia from
the direction of Siberia, Japan de-
veloped the idea that it would
henceforth be one of the leading
world powers. But this role re-
quires much more than a general
spirit Of courage and national devo-
ton, or a genius for successful
imitation in military and naval af-
fairs Among the things required
are a great deal of money and high
credit. These are not among Japan's
possessions It's public revenue is
moderate, its taxes high and in
creaslng, and it finds borrowing
difficult even at comparatively
high rate of interest.
Japan has some expensive respon-
sibihties in Korea, Formosa and the
Port Arthur region. To engage in
a foreign war that could be honor
ably avoided would be financially
ruinous. A number of newspapers

PROPOSED CURRENCY LAW,

The Aldrich currency bill is now
under discussion in the United
States senate. When the bill came
I'D for discussion last Monday the
opening speech was made by Sena-
tor AIdrich and the senator was
crowded with eminent fnanciers, J.
Pierpont Morgan, among them, who
came to hear the features of the
measure exploited
In speaking Of the late financial
crisis. Mr.. Aldrich said:
''The country was saved by the
narowes5 margin from an over
whelming catastrophe. whose blight
ING effect would have been felt in
every household. The great losses
which the people of the country
suffered from the partial breakdown
of our credit system should lead
congress to consider seriously the
question whether it was possible to
provide such a legislative remedy
as shall prevent its recurrence"
Relief in such an emergency, he
thought, could be afforded only
through the authorization of addi-
tional notes, to be used only in
emergencies After reviewing the
various plans suggested, he said:
1.-THE committee felt that it was
safer to follow the experience of the
great commercial nations. The
committee believed that the example
of Germany was the safest preced-
ent. The remedy we provide is
simple, prompt, and efficient. AT
any time within forty eight hours,
if an emergency requires it, $780,
100000 of new money can be put
into the channels of trade.
1.-THE committee believes that this
great fund placed at the disposal of
the bankers and business men of the
country will have strong tendency
TO prevent financial crises and to
Epneserve public and private credit at
shoIae and abroad.
There should be no mistake as
to the sole purpose of this bill. 1t
proposes by its provisions to prevent
Vsnles and furnish the means of
relieving panic conditions. We do
not claim that it is a universal
panacea for all 1nancial ills. 1t is
to give the national banks the
means of accomplishing by legal
methods that which, In this crisis,
they felt compelled to accomplish
by illegal and destructive methods,
to the great loss of the country. 1t
makes no pretense of providing a
new monetary system and tries no
new experiment with our currency.
1t surrounds notes to be issued by
safeguards for ultimate payment
similar to those now in USE"

1.-THE VARNUM lDEA."
Paper Read by w. S. Varnum Before
the Convention.

No paper read at the convention eX-
cited the same interest and comment
as that read by w. S. Varnum. MI.
Varnum, in attempting to get at the
financial solution of the problem,
touched on a point in which each and
every member of the convention was
interested. His paper, in full, follows:
The modern conception of human So
ciety is under the form of an organism
ever living, growing, developing,
evolving into higher and more complex
forms. 1t is the mode through which
the collective man manifests his act1Vl-
tieS-hiS life. AS the human body is
composed of units called cells, so the So
cial body is composed of units called in
diViduals or persons. AS the health Oh
the individual body depends on the per-
feet functioning of each cell so the well
fare of society depends on the degree of
health enjoyed by each unit. This is but
another way of saying that what is good
for the bee is good for the hive-and
vice versa.
The highest good of both cell and man
is attained when each has opportunity
to and does exercise all it's functions in
a normal manner. The exercise of these
functions in both cases depends on the
regular supply of food. clothing and
shelter suitable in quantity and quality.
But all three of these prime necessities
rest in the last analysis, on the land
that common mother of our bodies and
the houses that shelter them. This
analogy between the body and it's func-
lions and society may be carried to al
most any extent Nothing is more COM
mon than to speak of the telegraph as
the nerves" of the social organism, the
railroads as the arteries of trade, Wall
Street as the pulsing heart of the Ma
ton and money as the Likelihood or COM
merce. And these analogies are true
ones showing the close connection ex-
listing through all the forms by which
that mysterious energy we call life
manifests itself And more and more
this truth that the Cosmos is uni
verse is sinking into the minds of men
and becoming part of the conscious
ness of the race Thus much in justih-
cation of the argument and plan l shall

full a method of financing any public
work. In this case it would compel
every farmer who had land cleared to
pay from so to 100 per cent more than
the cost in labor
But while the adoption of this plan
would at once vastly increase the vol
ume of every legitimate business, 1T
would have no tendency to create or
develop that form of gambling mania
known as a real estate boom. The So
cial organism would grow regularly, nor
mally, rapidly.
If we dare not trust our own strong
right arms and clear, keen brains of our
young men, we can have more than a
thousand acres cleared before any out
side aid can possibly reach us, even if
we had need of it, which we do not. Let L,
us go forth at once and possess the
Promised Land that lies at our doors.
1t was in the town meetings OF New
England that our fathers learned to win
political freedom and who knows but in
this local financiering of local enter
prses may lie hidden the germ OF eco
homie independence from the domina,7-
ton of the Masters of Bread that all
men and parties affect to desire!
