Governor Harn;0n'S Quest
Governor Harmon falls into line in

Governor Harmon falls into line in
the crusade against high prices. He
has messaged the Ohio Legislature to
throw out a dragnet. When hauled
in, he expects to find in the catch a
bunch of laws passed by Congress
which operate in restraint of low
prices, including the Payne-Aldrich
taft; a combination of wholesalers
who fix the prices at which the retail
ers shall sell their goods to the ulti-
mate victims of conspiracy and greed,
and goodly lot of spectators for the
rise in the prices of farm products
which are made the vehicle of gamb.
ling on the worlds exchanges. Out of
this mass of cumulative testimony the
Legislature is requested to fashion a
comprehensive report, with the spe-
cial object of ascertaining to what ex-
tent congressional enactment has put
it into the power of the high.price
boosters to pinch the poor.
Governor Harmon does not say so
expressly, but the implication is un.
mistakable that he means tariff legis.
lation and that he expects the results
of the inquiry will be a Democratic
asset Of large proportions in the state
and congressional campaign in Ohio
next summer. The Republican ma
iority in the Ohio Legislature is show
ing tendency to hearken to the Dem
ocratic Governors message. but if he
succeeds in wrestling from its hands
an accusing analysis OF Republican
tariff legislation in Washington, he
will have wrought a marvel far beyond
the discovery OF the true source of the
high cost of living. In the words OF
Sim Coy. one time paramount in In

ABSENTEEISM IN CONGRESS.

The arrangement announced as to
pairs in the house is the best thing
that. so far has come out of the tur-
moil there. 1t strikes at an evil
which has too long existed, and if a
permanent cure is effected. the coun.
try will benefit.
The legislator given to "loafing on
his job" is a familiar figure He is
In and out Of Washington as suits his
convenience. He puts his own affairs
first. Uncle Sam gets that portion OF
his time not demanded by his private
interests Business first. legislation
afterward. A case in court at home
or the closing OF financial transac-
ton, or the mending of political fences,
takes him out Of town at running
jump. and he returns at his leisure.

as compared with the gross railroad

furnishes more traffic than all our
ships on the Pacific" The cessation
for two years of Pacific trade would
therefore not seriously hurt railroad
earnings. He admitted. however. that
the assumed war would upset business
generally, that all roads would suf-

lions to billions, and there would be
the mischief to pay generally.

CAPTAIN JACKSON.

The death of Captain Caleb E. Jack
son, a life long resident of Wayne
county, early yesterday morning, re.
calls to our mind the seventy-nine
years of his eventful life, which spans
the crucial period of the United States
A time when he braved everything
and helped maintain the union.
Captain Jackson was one of those
valiant citizens that sacrificed his vo-
cation at the time of the war to main
tain the principles of equality and
liberty for the growing nation. Our
constitution was not old when Presi.
dent Lincoln called for men to help
maintain the union, but the citizens
who realized that they were residents
of a no mean country, bravely cooper
ated and their concerted action saved
the country.
Wayne county has always been
proud of her representatives in the
civil war for they were of the bravest
She contributed Oliver P. Morton as
the war governor and among her
bravest sons in the army was Captain
Jackson.
When but thirty years of age Cap.

afterwards bravely earned the respect
OF his soldiers. He fought in many

ing almost continuously. This would
have tested the faith of an ordinary
man, but Captain Jackson at the head
of his company, was fighting for a new
nation and a nation he wished to re.
main free to all people.
Now he is dead and we are impressed
with his devout life, his retiring ma
ture, his temperance in all things: his
love of country; his sublime trust in
God; his confidence in Lincoln, and
above all, Of the love and respect
of his friends and neighbors
The three score and nineteen years
Of his life he gave to his home and

OUR RESERVE SYSTEM.

1t is good to know that after all
these years such a distinguished man
rs Senator Aldrich Is at last waking
UP to the defects in our bank reserve
system. The greatest difficulty Is in
the attitude of the American mind to-
ward the question of managing re-
serves. We have all but forgotten what
the purpose of a reserve is. To use
It Is something to save, and not to use.
And yet the only reason for accumu-
lating reserve in quiet and prosper
GUS times is that it may be used to the
limit when the trouble comes. Profess
sor Sumner many years ago had a good
practice. And now Senator AldricYl
commends the European practice of
permitting banks to lend their reserves
In times of stress to all who are able
to give adequate security. Naturally,
and properly, he objects to the legal
limit that we place on reserves, thus
practically compelling the banks to vi
olate the law II they are to relieve the
necessities Of the business world. The
enforceent of the law is left to the dis
erection of the treasury authorities, and
they may-as they have done-wink at
violations of the law. But this is a
bad arrangement, for laws ought to be
enforced. Further, no bank, even with
the federation of the secretary of the
treasury. likes to advertise to the
world that its reserve has been, as we
say, impaired"
Banks would not keep on hand any
money over and above what they
needed for ordinary daily use were it
not that they might use it to meet an
emergency. Yet, under our system,
when the emergency comes. they are
not permitted by the law to use the
surplus-for the whole reserve is a sur
plus over and above what is needed in
prosperous times. II there were no
fear Of panics there would be no need
for any reserve. It is kept against
the day of panic, and yet when the
day OF panic comes we say that the re-
serve must be kept up to the legal lin
Il. Thus q great deal of currency is
locked up all the time, and when it is
most needful it is most difficult to get
It into circulation.
We do not suppose that our people
are prepared to admit that the legal
limitation on the reserve should be
abolished. Most OF us feel that the
banks should have a full reserve all the
time. and then we blame them for not
lending more freely when credits are
strained. We seem to think that a
reserve can be both used and not used
at the same time. As q matter of
fact. the bank with the largest reserve
In times Of trouble may be the poorest
servant Of the business community.
There are occasions when a fat reserve
Is reproach to bank, for it means
that 1t Is doing nothing to ease a try
ing situation. Perhaps when we get
. proper conception Of what a reserve
in truth is we may be able to see the
folly Of the present arrangement.--In-
dianapolis News.
