STUDY or THE WORK OF RE-
MEDAL LOAN SOCIETIES.

The Russell Sage Foundation is I'M
dertaking an interesting and important
study of remedial loan societies, the re-
suit of which should aid all municipal
ties in solving the problem of how to
regulate the loaning of money on Sc
curities not recognized by reguIac fnan-
eial institutions.
The pawnbroker and the money
lender who take as security furniture,
salary or any other thing of value are
as important to the poor as the banker
is to the rich. Their security is no
toriously bad, and to prohibit their
charging high rate Of interest either
drives the business out of existence or.
more likely, into hiding, where all its
evils flourish in accentuated form. One
solution OF the difficulty has been com
petition with money lenders by a
philanthropic society. These societies
have been found to work well in some
cities, and one idea of the Russell Sage
Foundation is to discover if this plan
is the true solution of the problem and,
if not, what restrictive laws are need
ed to 60 with It.
At the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Conference of Charities and Cor
rection at Buffalo representatives from
a number of philanthropic societies met
and organized the National Fedora ton
of Remedial Loan Associations, the pur-
pose of which is to encourage the for
nation Of similar societies elsewhere.
A Baltimorean, ". n. Finley, was chosen
chairman of the association. The work
of the society is not charity work but
the combination of wise business man
agement with intelligent philanthropy,
realizing that the best way to spread
the influence of similar organizations is
to make them successful from com
mercial standpoint.

FORTHCOMING REPORT OF
MONETARY COMMISSION.

The meetings Of the monetary COM
mission in New York this week have
revived the discussion over the forth
coming report of that commission. 1t
is expected the report viii be made to
Congress late in the regular session.
This viii not make it possible for Con
gress to consider the report at the com
ing session, and if Senator Aldrich has
MS way there viii be a special session
called a year from this fall
Presumably, it would not be practie-
able for a special session to be held
before the Congressional elections, and
It would depend on the views President
Taft entertained as to the commissions
plans for monetary legislation whether
he cared to further those plans by call
ing a special session.
While the exact form of the report is
not yet known, there is general agree
ment that some plan of a central bank
Of issue is going TO be presented, this
bank to have the power Of currency
issue. The ideas for the proposed in
stitution will be drawn in large
measure probably from the Bank OF
France
It is not easy to tell what viii be
the fate of the measure which the
monetary commission intends to pro-
pose, bot it is certain that stormy
times are ahead in thA House and
Senate before legislation can be passed
making the wholesale reforms in the
currency system which central bank
Of issue would involve.
Regardless of the merits of the cen
tral bank plan. such a proposition is
viewed with suspicion in many quar-
ters. It will not be an easy thing to
induce Congress 20 depart from the
present system of bond-secured cur
rency or an approximation thereto.
Inevitably the plan viii be known as
the Aldrich plan, and it is not to be
forgotten that Senator Aldrich in the
tariff controversy stirred up some an
tsgonisms that are not going TO die
easily. Nor viii it be any small task
to win the West away from the idea
that the proposed central bank would
be controlled by a few great Eastern
banking interests Senator Aldrich
proposes to do some missionary work
sn the West this fall, and he will need
10 do a lot Of it.

offered were quite worthless. The fact

other bundles Of securities less valuable,

WHAT IS TO BE THE FUTURE

From the street gamin 70 the scientist
everyone is querying about the prob

become an integral part of the indus
trial and social fabric of the future. or
remain a delicate and dangerous TOW?
The immediate comparison with auto
mobile progress Is suggested, and this
emphasizes one point. The original
''horseless carriages" were greeted with
doubt and deTision, and for years were
a joke; the airship-to use a general
designation-alresdy is taken seriously.
The world is becoming wise, and in
stead Of ridicule, an eager and recep-
tive attitude is displayed. So many
strange things have happened that to
seofT at aerial navigation is 70 run
the rigk Of looking foolish tomorrow
morning.
The people are content to wait and
hope with a rather optimistic faith in
their own powers. II is one Of the
marvellous symptoms Of modern psy-
ehology- this expectancy Of anything,
this refusal to be surprised. A triumph
awaited since history began is a mat
ter-of-fact in six months
That the airship has come TO stay
Il perhaps indicated by the calm way
in which men go about solving the
problems it brings, and by the certainty
with which they apply the fixed prin-
ciples Of living to &C. Some prominent
sporting men have refused to bet
against the chance that an airship will
cross the Atlantic within two years. It
didn't seem a good risk Lloyds have
commenced to issue insurance against
danger to life or limb from flying.

automobiles to airships, and warned
an aviator that he must not exceed a
rate Of twenty miles an hour. This
raises the interesting point that some
machines may not fly at all at this
rate. In the legal connection, too, must
be noted the efforts of lawyers to de
eide upon air rights ara questions of
trespass, not to mention damage done
by landing in a corn field or dropping
sand down an innocent earth-dweller's
neck.
The students of aeronautics them
selves have proposed two advances.
They are considering races between air
craft. This Is only the old idea of de
veloping the quality by contest as is
done in horse racing, yachting, and
automobile reliability and speed runs,
And from Germany comes the proposal
to have an international system of
guide signs for aviators. These are
to indicate the region and mark gas
supplies and landings. At night they
will be lighted.
All of these ideas have arisen by
necessity and are being treated with
good common sense, However airy the
machine itself, it seems TO be based
on the solid brains and experience of
the ages. With such immediate and
wise efforts to settle the problems Of
aerial travel. the future of the airship
is hopeful, and that future will not be
long delayed.
