many phases of the banking question. These have been written by men who have the confidence of the commis- sion, but who are not members of it. They have been instructed, however, to guard these pamphlets from all pre- judicial views. and they are intended, not to shape the thought of the coun- try, but simply to supply information on which views may be based.
 From this time forward, the com mission will give its attention largely to conditions in the United States
 We especially desire suggestions from men of practical experience We have enough already by way of con tribution from cranks and dema- gogues."
 The nearest approach that Mir AL drich made to any indication or plan was his return to the subject of bank issues. He again mentinped the fact that the European countries were quite agreed on that subject and again referred to the circumstances that most or all of those countries maintain central banking institutions for the issuance of bank paper
 He stated, however. it could not be expected that any European banking system could be transplanted In its entirety to this country. Whatever system should be adopted, he said, must be enc looking to a gradual change and must have due regard to vested interests and sectional usage.
 Again, also, Mir Aldrieh dwelt upon the necessity of developing a system of credit which would protect the country against such disastrous re- suits as wer experienced during the bankers panic of 1907
 He expressed the decided opinion that with proper safeguards, the country need not again submit to such general crash as then was precipl- tated, with so little reason, in the business conditions of the country.
 The closest attention was awarded Mir Aldrich throughout the delivery of his speech, hut there were no spok- en Interruptions. Once or twice dur ing it's delivery there was applause and he closed in the midst of general manifestation of favor.

and for six or eight years before that.
 But there came time when Theo. dore Roosevelt and men like him who say that the tendency which came firm that prosperity to an accumuta. ton of wealth in individual hands by means that were not legal and could not be morally supported, called for a halt and called for an investigation on our prosperity and called for the enactment of legislation that should restrict our growth in order that it might be along lines of legality and along lines of business integrity and morality.
 But I am no pessimist. I believe We are growing steadily better and better and that the way we respond. ed to the call when Roosevelt uttered it, showed that we would not be brib. ed by material comforts and luxury into sleepiness and inaction in mat. ters of business integrity"

The keynote of his address was national sanitation. that national board of health should accomplish for the nation itself whaa the nation had accomplished for oth- ens in Cuba, Panama ana other places. This is the first time In the south that the president has addressed him. self to this subject. ;
 He also took occasion to talk ship subsidy and to suggest that the legis- lation merited the support of the south. especially cotton manufactur- ing communities like Georgia and South Carolina. f
 With regard to national sanitation he said: |
 Another subject that is forging ahead and must be considered by the national government with a great deal more care and with the expenditure of much more money than 1t has heretofore put into the investigation, is the question of sanitation and the heahh of the inhabitants of the coun- try. is peculiarly so in he south, for as you reach nearer the tropics. the danger of the spread and prevalence of diseases of this character is much greater.
