Information Of unique value to the
financial world and to all students of
economics regarding the monetary and
banking systems of all the civilized

will be made available during the COM
ing year through Il score or more of
volumes prepared by the leading au-
thorities in America, England and Eu-
rope, to be published under the aus
pices Of the national monetary COM
mission. It will constitute library of
banking without parallel in the litera-
ture of any country and will supply
what is at present practically an abso-
lutte lack Of information In the English
language regarding the development
during recent years Of the financial
systems of the world.
The commission as soon as practical
BILE will print limited editions of the
various volumes and hopes that con-
gress will authorize their general pub
LEGATION and distribution and will pro-
vide for their sale at moderate prices
through the superintendent Of docu-

presses the hope that bankers, business
men and financial students of every
sort will take advantage of the oppor-
tunfty thus offered to study the con-
ditions and experiences of other coun-
tr4es as well as our own and will CO.
operate with the commission in devils
ing a banking system more worthy of
Americas position in the world and
better adapted for the successful utili-
cation Of her great resources.

SANDERS AND THE
CONSTITUTION.


In a statement given to the press
Governor Sanders has announced that
he will not advise his friends or the
Legislature not to press the amendment
to the Constitution.
The amendment proposed is to elm
mate from Article 63 the words which
restrict the Governor to one term of
four years and which provides a lapse
or interval of four years before he may
become a candidate for the same office.
The proposal to relieve the Governor
of this restriction has aroused protests
from the press and men of prominence
from every section of the State.
The press and the men who do not
favor the scheme, suggested at dining
of Governor Sanders friends in New
Orleans several months since, have de-
manded an explicit declaration of Gov
ernor Sanders, whose answer is some
what evasive and therefore unsatisfac-
tory.
Instead of saying that he will advise
his friends in the Legislature not to
press this amendment to the Constitu-
tion,' he could have settled the issue
definitely by declaring that he is not a
candidate for reelection and that he
would oppose the proposed amendment
of Article g.
As it is, his attitude is indefinite. His
friends in the Legislature, if in the ma
jority, can pass the necessary enact
ment, providing the elimination of the
restriction to one term of four years.
Having provided the submission of such
an amendment to the people, the politi-
cal machinery could be so operated as
to have declared the amendment car
ried regardless of the majority against
it. That such declaration would be
possible is prejudged from the record
of the past: 1t is unfortunate that this
State has not yet been purged of some
of the methods which prevailed when
the State was threatened with Africani
cation and which then were condoned
and approved in self-defense.
AS said in the Caucasian several
months since when the Governor de
clared he was not candidate for re-elec-
ton, his word as a gentleman should
be accepted without question, but he is
an opportunist and likewise a politician.
and possibly if he were renominated and
reelected he could consistently accept
the second term by assuming the posi-
ton that he was making a personal sac
rifce in obedience to the demands of
his friends and of the people.
Without questioning the sincerity of
Governor Sanders, the Caucasian would
venture the statement that he can set at
rest, now and forever, the agitation re-
lating to the proposed constitutional
amendment by declaring explicitly and
emphatically that he is not candidate
for a reelection to a second term, as
his own successor, and that he is op-
posed to any meddling with Article g
of the Constitution.

The present may we'll be termed a
Russian season. The madness tor
everything Russian is spreading rap
idly, and there is no telling where it
is going to end. 1t is now accepted
as the leading note in every part OF
fashion.

The drum major turhan is trimmed
