MEMBERS WORkFOR
GOOD OF TIE CITY
Real Estate Board CO=Operates
With Civic Organizations
on Public Questions
By GEORGE D. TOY,

The real estate board during the five
years of it's existence has been pro-
ductive of much good, not only to the
city at large, but to the members in
particular.
The working together of the members
as a board or in serving on commit
tees has brought about a clear ac-
auaintance, one with the other, and has
tended to promote spirit of harmony
and cooperation between the members
that did not exist before the formation
of the real estate board.
One of the features that the real
estate board has tended TO develop in
this community is the cooperation with
other organized bodies on public ques-
tions and the development of the get
together spirit which has heretofore
been so lacking in San Francisco.
The spirit of optimism that has taken
hold of our citizens in relation to the
Pacific Panama exposition makes it
easier for the real estate board TO de-
velop the get together spirit and the
working in harmony for everything
that is good for San Francisco.
The real estate market can not fail
to gradually respond to this influence,
and activity in real estate viii gradu-
ally develop into strong market, aided
by cheaper money. which seems to be in
sight The proposed increase in the
board of directors from nine to twelve
will give the real estate board added
strength and facilities for doing much
important work that is outlined for the
coming year.
All the directors are enthusiastic IN
their work and gladly give their time
and attention to real estate interests
without stint.

viii meet the requirements? VIII
this not give a feeling of security
TO the people of this country TO
such a degree that a money panic
would be impossible? In other
words. how can a money panic oc-
cur when the depositors know that
the banks can, in an emergency,
obtain the money requisite from
the government
The question might be asked,
"HoW would the situation be met
If several sections of this country
were 10, at the same time. call upon
the secretary of the treasury for
retlef2 There would not be money
enough to go around" The answer
10 that is, and the only true an
Swer can be that the business OF
the world is done upon confidence
The Bank of England has on
several occasions found it neces-
sary 10 issue its notes without re-
csiving corresponding mount of
gold in its issue department. This
being the fact. why should we hest
tate in adopting d similar method
when the occasion demands IT.
Could any measure be passed by
congress which would inspire
greater confidence than this?
Would the depositor draw his
money out of the bank and put II
in a safe deposit box or hide II
away if he knew the government
was behind the bank?
DEMAND GOVERNMENTAL C0NTRO
The time has not yet arrived in
this country when the people viii
for one moment permit the banding
OF the government s finances by any
central bank not wholly under the
control Of the government. The
people are jealous of the govern
ment control of the treasury, and
will insist upon its remaining there.
The people recently gave evi-
dence of their absolute faith in the
integrity, honor and high character
of the clearing house associations
in the United States by accepting
from them their certificates in lieu
of money. These certificates were
used for several months in the gen
eral transaction of business
throughout the country That this
confidence was not misplaced, the
world knows.
This confidence being already es-
tablished with the public by the
clearing house associations. who so
ably met the situation precipitated
bv the money stringencY. would 1t
not be wise to provide for repeti-
tion of this method, and. as l here
inbefore stated. go one step farther
by having an act of congress passed
instructing the secretary of the
treasury in times of stress or crop
moving periods TO advance lawful
money of the United States TO the
clearing house associations, upon
The presentation to him Through
any assistant treasurer OF the
United States) of such securities.

by the clearing house associations?

JE. DUBOIS FOUND
DEAD IN BATHTUB

When relatives became suspicious
and forced the door to the bathroom
yesterday, where J. E. Dubois of Tus-
caloosa was supposed to be bathing
they found the bather's body in the
bathtub lifeless. Death is said to have
been due to apoplexy
Mr.. Dubois and his wife had come to
Birmingham some time ago to visit
relatives. He was at the residence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard T. Hobart, corner
of Twelfth avenue and Fifteenth street
south, yesterday when he died. Mr.
Dubois had an attack of the same NAL
ady several times before. His relatives
were alarmed by his continued absence
yesterday while bathing. and Tor that
reason opened the bathroom door and
discovered the dead man.
The body was sent to Tuscaloosa yes
terday afternoon for interment. He is
survived by his wife, Rebecca, and two
children. Mrs Henry III. Leland of Tus-
caloosa and 8. w. Dubois OF New York.

leaves are tossed by wintry winds; lives
became a human hetacomb; homes were
desolated; hearts were broken; every
emotion of the human soul was torn by
angry and prophetic fingers, and yet, all
went for naught. that you might defend
what you believed to be the right. Do
you hope that dollar or different careers
will ever surpass this? Do you think
that there can ever come time to you
that forgetting the high ideals of the
past II will pay you to bend the preg-
nant hinges of your knee and exchange
them for mere material property? Tell
me- We sons of the sunny southland. In
the silent watches of the night, when

for what is right than to know wha-
ia right and to live for what is right.
Will ii not be a sad, sad commentary
upon a brave, chivalric, God-fearing ana
courteous people to have 1t finally said
of them that they could endure agony
untol amid the cloud-tempests and bat
tle-din of war for the preservation OF
their principles, but when the war-drum

so impotent, and so careless as to Tor

lesser things of mere material comfort.
Necessity of High Ideals
"When Bohemia rebelled from Ger

never down until again the men OF the
southland hold the ideal to be above the

lives, and may its voices Of labor blend
into the perfect chorus Of the rights OF

portunity for leadership. He understood
that If he was leader it was his duty to
lead in straight paths, not in crooked ones
and along constitutional lines, and he be-
lieved in God, the constitution and the
law. He felt that it was necessary for
him to sound not only the shoals and
depths of human passion but 1t was
necessary for him to ascertain all the
reefs and quicksands upon which popular
governments had been wrecked and lost.
He was essentially a student of men
and net a student of finance. He never
put the dollar above human soul nor
pleasure above principle. No one dis
putes the overwhelming power and In
fiuence up to the time of the war be-
tween the states. Part of 1t Is to be
accounted for by the blood of the. people:
part Of II by the kind of life which they
lived; but most of it is to be accounted
for by the education which the young
man received. 1t was not scientific age
