named Pcishih had its pogoda In the
wrong place-not far enough down the
river--and the result was that all traf-
fc which should have come to 1t was
swept past. Peishih being left out In
the cold. The people pulled down the
pagoda and built another one in the
supposed right spot, as nothing would
convince them that the depression
could arise from any other cause than
that of a bad fengshul.
The city of Wanshein. on the other
hand. has a perfect fengshui. two fine
pagodas. and is very prosperous. But
the fact that Wanshein is situated In
fertile valley. where wheat. barley
and the poppy flourish abundantly'
while Peishih is barren and miserable,
does not concern the inhabitants so
much as the fengshui site. This re-
markable idea I'm the Chinese mind is
only one OF thousands like 1t.

10 not exactly exhilerating house,
seems to have lost nothing of its
sparkle by its year of road sesvice
since its appearance here last season.
Somehow. the local patrons of the
play have come into the erroneous
idea that Girls" is a wheel show, or
very nearly so. and opinionated folks
are like to cherish ideas onre form

marvellous dare for the small details

Washfngton.-One eloquent fact
that with Golfers overflowing with
gold. America was obliged to appeal
to Europe for relief in the panic OF
19O7--is strong point of the argu'
ment that will be made to Congress
monetary system of the country.
Evidence Is accumulating that Pres
ident Taft meant to convey assent to
the plan in his recent Boston speech
and that Senator Aldrich and his sew.
enteen colleagues on the monetary
commission have decided to recon-
mend central bank.
According to the treasury statistics
ident of the American Bankers Asso-
citation, in the course of his statement
to that body. when the first blast Of
evil times came in 1907. the United
million dollars more gold than the great
national banks of England, Germany
and France combined. while circulating
outside of the treasury among the ma.
tional and state banks and the people,

banks.
Yet this vast hoard in the United
States was entirely unavailable. The

the people. The people were to be the
stockholders, for anyone would be
privileged to buy the bank stock just
as he might a government bond. A
small interest on such an investment
would be guaranteed by the govern
ment; any earnings more than suf-
ficient to pay the guaranteed interest
would be shared by the government
and by the stockholders. Political
control of the great bank would
be made at least extremely diff
ficult by the life appointment
OF the officers. Integrity of op-
GRAFTON would be assured by a board
of supervision appointed by the presi-
dent, the secretary of the treasury and
the comptroller Of the currency (sub-
ject to the approval Of the Senate),
for alternate terms of at least eight
years to bridge over political muta-
tions. Thus would be met the objec-
tions founded upon the history of the
old United States bank, that the GEN.
tral bank might be prostituted to po-
litical uses and be made powerful
engine for the perpetuation in power
of one party.
