Must the Gold Standard Go?

DR.. j. p. Norton, professor of poll
teal economy at Yale, comes forward
with a propositin to discontinue the
use of the single gold standard as
monetary basis.
This manifesto Of war against the
yellow metal sounds like an echo Of
the famous campaign Of 1896, when
the silver-tongued orator from Ne
braska stepped for the first time into
the national lime light.
But the Yale professor is not an
apostle Of discomfort.
He approaches the subject from
the scientific angle.
And after bestowing much thought
upon the increased cost Of living, he
is inclined to think that the present
era Of high prices in the United States
is due measurably at least to the fact
that gold has become decidedly un-
stable as a standard Of valuation.
Just as one commodity after an
other has been rejected as a none
tary basis because Of fluctuation in
the market price at which it is quot
ed, SO it will become necessary,
claims DR.. Norton, to abandon the
use of gold for the same reason.
The large increase in the produc-
ton of gold in recent years he at
tributes TO the progress in engineer
ing che istry. by virtue Of which a
method mas been devised for extract
ing gold from low-grade ores.
1t is not the idea of DR.. Norton to
substitute any one commodity for
sold as a monetary basis, still less to
inaugurate a regime Of fiat money
but to base the currency upon the
combined valuation of all the STAN
dard products.
He suggests that the unit of meas
urement be called the dill"
And in discussing the value of this
proposed unit he recommends that it
he made to equal the purchasing
power Of gold dollar at the time the
new system is put into effect.
II this method be adopted it is the
opinion Of DIR. Norton that an end
Will be witnessed to the countless
troubles which arise from instability

values are mined.-Ttlanta

Whidbee of Seminole Securities Fame
In Trouble I'm North Carolina.

Raleigh, n. c.. Feb ga case Of
very general interest, decided in a
batch of opinions delivered this even
ing by the State Supreme Court, was
! that of the State VS.. Whidbee from
sentence OF two years Imprisonment
for false pretense in effecting the sale
OF stock In the Seminole Securities
Company, fraudulent developments in
which stirred North and South Caro-
lima, especially.
The Supreme Court sustains the
appeal on ground of defective indict-
ment and orders an arrest Of judg-
ment, thereby requiring new trial. In
the trial below 1t was said that Whid-
bee fraudulently induced w. c. Heath
to invest $3.50 in the stock Of the
Seminole Company in representation
that Wylie Jones and w. A. Clark,
bankers in Columbia, were personally
the head Of the Seminole corporation;
that no securities were paid to the Of
ficers of the company; that Whidbee
was receiving nothing in excess of 6
per cent. on his sales of stock; that
sales of stock were being made sole
ly for organizing an accident insur-
ance company to be known as Sterl-
ing Casualty Company; that so per
cent. premium at which he was SELL
ing Seminole stock was solely to Gre
ate surplus fund for operating Sterl-
ing Casualty Company, for safeguard
ing stockholders, in which $1,000
was to be deposited with the insur-
ance commission Of North Carolina.
Whidbee, the Seminole stock seller
referred to above, operated in Sumter
and succeeded in unloading several
blocks OF stock on confiding capital
lists. He made identically the same
statements here that he is charged
with having made in Raleigh, and for
which he was prosecuted. If he can
be sent to the penitentiary in North
Carolina for making these fraudulent
statements it seems that his dupes in
Sumter could prosecute him here
when the North Carolina authorities
get through with him.

WAGE INCREASE REFUSED.
Southern Railroads Unanimously Re-
ject Demands OF Employees.

Cleveland. OHIO. Feb. 24.-The re-
plies Of the Southern railroads to the
wage demand of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen and the Order Of
Railway Conductors were opened here
today.
The refusal OF the roads TO meet
the mems terms were unanimous.
This places the Southern railroad sit
uation In practically the same state as
that In the territory north Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio and east of the
Mississippi. 1t Is now certain that any
action taken by the men to press their
demands will be simultaneously In
the East and South.
The result OF the strike vote of the
Baltimore and Ohio men will be
known to President w. G. Lee, OF
the Trainmen. and Grand Master
Garretson, OF the Conductors, early
next week.
IL the decision is to call a strike,
as IL Is expected TO be, the executive
councils OF the two Orders. which will
meet here later. are expected to sub
NIT to the men on all the railroads
the question whether a general strike
shall be called.
The strike vote on the Baltimore

mediately effective. 1t Is understood
that at the Brotherhood headquarters
here that the votes will be held in re-

event Of a final refusal by the roads

Knox Deftly Characterizcs Jingo Talk
In Favor OF ship Subsidy and Larg-

Washington. Feb. 24.-"There Is
not the slightest likelihood OF any
trouble with japan any more than
with any other country with which We
have excellent relations OF friendship. -"
This was the statement today by
Secretary Knox TO a representative OF
the Associated Press when shown
copies OF the press dispatches from
Tokyo indicating some considerable
discussion of reported utterances Of
Mr.. Shaw. former secretary of the
treasury. and of Gen. Bell and refer
ring To an alleged anti-lapanese ex-
preston in San Francisco. The sec
retary OF state expressed great sur
prise that notice should be taken of
such tribes. Secretary Knox said
also:
"Mr Shaw's speech was obviously
nothing but an argument for ship
subsidy and what Gen. Bell said made
no reference TO trouble In the Far
East and was quite evidently an Or
dinary argument for increased appro-
priations for the army. AS for the
San Francisco report. everybody
knows that our immigration arrange
ment with Japan Is working entirely
satisfactorily. If, in spite OF this, agi-
tators will talk. no serious minded
persons should be disturbed"

TEN FEET VIA 200 MILES.
Postal Curiosity Revealed by Recent
Discussion Over Rates.

President Taft's recent recommen-
dation that postage rates be revised
in such a way as to impose a higher
charge for the transmission Of maga-
zi'es has resulted in bringing to light
several curious extravagances Of the
postal department in connection with
the more serious arguments the mag
azine publishers are advocating, says
the Providence Journal.
Perhaps the most remarkable Of
any of these is the situation revealed
on the Vermont-Canadian border,
where the departments red tape ne
cesstated the sending Of a letter in
tended for a destination not more
than ten feet from the point of mail
Ing by circuitous route covering ap-
proximately 900 miles This is the
situation in the international post
Office at Beebe Plain, VT, and Beebe
Plain, Quebec.
The village Is on the boundary line,
which runs squarely through the
building used by the two governments
for their postoffices. There Is a GEN.
trail corridor, with the American post
office on one side and the Canadian
office on the other. From the point
where the patron from the American
side drops his letter to the box used
by the patrons on the Canadian side
is distance Of hardly a dozen feet
A letter mailed by a resident of
Beebe Plain, VT, to a friend in Beebe
Plain, Canada, could easily be tossed
from one postmaster to another. In
deed, it is declared that when pat
ron of the office by mistake mails his
letter in the wrong box, the postmas-
ters accommodate him by correct
ing his error.
But when the sending Of a proper
ly mailed letter is involved, the regu-
lations of the department, through
some unusually fancy red tape which
the layman might find it difficult to
understand. compel an entirely differ
ent form Of procedure. Suppose the
letter Is mailed on the American side
for a Canadian, who will within a few
hours call for it in person.
1t is put in a south bound pouch
and started on it's way to White River
Junction, 10 miles south. There it is
transferred to a north-bound pouch di-
rected to Sherbrooke Canada, pass
ing through Beebe Plain on the way.
AT Sherbrooke it is transferred a sec
ond time, arriving in the Canadian
office at Beebe Plain in the course Of
a day or so, after covering a round
trip of nearly 800 miles.
Beebe Plain is chiefly a Canadian
village only about 100 of its 700 resi-
dents living on the American side.
The latter, when they wish to convey
message to a Canadian neighbor,
find it infinitely quicker to carry It in
person than to commit 1t to the vag-
aries of the postoffice department at
that point
