Roosevelt in Omaha.

When Col. Roosevelt was in
Omaha, September 2, and made
a speech at the auditorium, he
was introduced by Senator Bur-
kett. In response to the Senators
Introductory address Col. Roose-
welt gave him a splendid endorse
ment. The former presidnet s
remarks, as reported in the Lin
ccIn journal, were as follows:
Il am particularly pleased to
be introduced by Senator Bur-
Bnrkett,'' said the Colonel, "be-
cause he was one of the men on
whom l especially relied while |
was president, both while he was
in the house and in the senate.
On one occasion he paid a trib-
ute to us which may have been
entirely unmerited, in which he
described what the typical Amer
lean public servant must be. He
said: In the great struggle of
life he (the good American) must
be prepared to take the side of
the man rather than of the dol
lar Old time methods in politics
and old time ideals of government
tai duty and proragative are rel
agated to the junk shop of poll
teal antiquities. No man who is
skeptical in his own mind Of the
righteousness of the advanced
ground that the American peo-
pie have taken socially or morally
can have their confidence. No
man who is fearful of popular
rule, or is more afraid of the
peoples oppression of predatory
wealth with law than of its OPP
preston Of the people without
law is eligible to popular es-
TEEN. ~
In my own case" Colonel
Roosevelt continued, "All | can
say is that | have endeavored to
live up to that description and
that | was able to accomplish
in Washington only because of
the way in which | was backed
by men like Senator Burkett, and
as we have a guest from Iowa
present, let me say, also, like
Senator Dolliver.

Ballinger, Then Private Citizen, Was

Washington, Jan. 2S-For the re-
sumption for the congressional Bal
linger-Pinchot inquiry today, the COM
mittee room in the senate Office build
Ing had been entirely rearranged to
provide better accommodations for the
principals and attorneys. The seating
capacity of the general public had
been doubled since Wednesday after
noon, when standing room was at a
premium and there was great deal
of confusion.
Louis r. CLAWS, offered as the first
witness for the prosecution" on We'd
nesday afternoon, had hardly begun
his story when the committee adjourn
ed that afternoon and from the man
ner in which his examination progress
ed today, it was evident that he would
not only occupy the stand all day to-
day, but probably for several days to
come. CLAWS began his testimony by
reciting the fact that his interest in
Secretary Ballinger was first attract
ed in connection with the Wilson coal
land cases in Lewis county, Washing

ger. then private citizen, acted as
attorney in drawing up an escrow
agreement and in preparing deeds for
the claimants who. it is alleged, were
practicing fraud upon the land laws
Ballinger's name did not appear in
the court records, the agreement never
was signed and the case against the

Monetary Commission j els About
The Canadian System OF Banking

, anized under the varying laws of the
forty-six states of the union.
After the enactment of certain pre-
liminary legislation the Dominion
parliament passed the bank act OF
1871, which, with subsequent revis-
ions, now constitutes the .fundament-
al law OF all banks doing business
in Canada. In few cases special
ing business under royal charters and
for few others where particular
conditions made the general act in
applicable.
Mr.. Breckenridge shows that the
Canadian system is in many respects
similar to the Scotch banking system;
it is primarily and fundamentally a
branch banking system. There are
today, it appears, only twenty-nine
banks in Canada, and nineteen of that
number have their head offices in
Toronto and Montreal, their branch
es, numbering more than 1000 being
distributed from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, into the Yukon country. and
even into foreign countries. OF the
parent banks, however. there are not
more than three with head Offices west
OF Ontario.
TIL authorized capital of any bank
organized since 1890 is required to he
at least $500,0O0. of which at least
$250.000 must be paid in cash before
the bank is authorized to commence
business. Each bank may issue its
notes, payable to bearer on demand
but the total amount of notes OF any
bank in circulation could not, prior to
the amendment Of 1908. exceed the

bank. By the amendment of 1908,

1907, a bank, in addition to it's regu-

Washington, Jan. 28.-Today was
issued the first of the important Sc
ries of financial monographs result
ing from the exhaustive Investigations
pursued in this country and abroad
under the auspices of the National
Monetary commission-"The History
of Banking in Canada" by Radcliffe
NJ. Breckenridge, whose work on that
subject. published some twenty years
ago, has long been recognized as au-
thoritative. This monograph gains
importance from the fact that the
Canadian banking system, with its
highly developed organization OF
branch banking. its large freedom of
note issue, and its circulation-redemp-
tion fund, has for many years attract
ed attention in this country. Some
students of our banking problems
have advocated the adoption of simi-
lar arrangements in the United States
and the National Monetary commits
sion has consequently made CON-
prehensive investigation OF the his.
tory and actual operations OF bank
ing in Canada.
In this monograph, issued by the
commission today. MIR. Breckenridge
has brought the history of Canadian
banking down to the present time and
has discussed fully the changes and
developments which have taken place
since the date of publication of his
original volume. The monograph is
replete with facts and statistics
showing the growth and present con-
dition of the Canadian banks.
The banking system of Canada, like
that of other countries has been the
result of process of evolution and
experiment in the effort to establish
a system that would meet local con-
ditions and requirements. Mr.. Breck-
enridge traces this development from
the earliest efforts to introduce the
practice of banking into the British
North American provinces in the
eighteenth century to the most recent
legislation of 1908.
The Dominion of Canada was or
ganized in 1867 by the union of the
various provinces, and exclusive leg
islative authority over all matters
pertaining to banking, currency.
coinage, and cognate subjects was, by
the act creating the Dominion, con-
ferred upon the parliament Of Cana
da. The separate provinces have no
jurisdiction over these subjects, and
there Is. therefore. only one legisla-
tive body in the Dominion authorized
to- deal with banking questions, and
there Is only one type of commercial
bank. The problems of banking there
are not complicated as they are with
us. where alongside of 1000 banks

American Help.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-President
Taft has sent telegram to President
Fallteres Of France expressing the
sympathy of the American people for
the flood sufferers of Paris, and has
rendered him needed relief through
the National Red Cross. The state
department has also sent a telegram
to Ambassador Bacon asking whether
Red Cross contributions for the relief
Of the flood sufferers in Paris and in
the French provinces were needed
and would be acceptable to the ma
tion and people. President Taft's
telegram to President Fallieres is as
follows:
rs there any manner in which,
through the National Red Cross or
otherwise, appropriate expression
could be made of the sympathetic dis
tress with which the people and gov
ernment of the United States learn of
the reported calamities that floods
are causing your. beautiful and his
toric capitol, as we'll as in the prov
inces of France? Meanwhile l offer
you the sincerest sympathy and the
most ardent wishes that the cause of
these disasters may soon abate."
An unfortunate shift of the wind
from the north to the southwest, ac-
companied by falling barometer and
heavy rain added a new thrill of hor-
ror to the stricken city and country
this forenoon. The devastation has
now penetrated the very heart of Paris
the gorging rivers and sewers under
meath literally blowing up the streets,
while the area Of the surface over
flower by the waters of the Seine had
been doubled today. Twelve of the
twenty-five bridges over the river have
been closed and the quays on either
side from one end of the city to the
other are either inundated or have
been roped off as unsafe.
The palace Of the Legion of Honor
has been evacuated. The situation in
the neighborhood of the French insti.
tute has become desperate.
Today's papers are filled with pages
of pttiful and terrifying tales. War
would hardly play such havoc.
The "City of Light" has become a
city of slime, filled with muddy wa
ters. Business is almost at stand
still. The hotels are crowded with
persons who have fed from their i'll
undated homes. The prices of neces-
saries are advancing by leaps and
bounds as the paralysis of transpor-
tation facilities entering the city ex-
tends. Disaster followed disaster dur.

in cash upon the average amount of
its notes in circulation from year to
year. In case of suspension of pay
ment, the notes of bank draw in
terest at the rate of five per cent per
annum from the day of suspension
until the date named by notice when
they will be redeemed. When the cir
culation fund is depleted from any
cause. a call is made upon the banks
to replenish it at rate not exceed
ing one per cent per annum of the
banks circulation.
In addition to these provisions for
maintaining the soundness of the
notes, there are several requirements
of law for the purpose of insuring
their current redemption at par in all
parts of the Dominion. The notes
must be redeemed at the parent OF
head Office Of the banks and at agen-
cies at commercial centers in each
province which are fixed by law and

The Canadian system differs from that
of the United States in the absence
of any requirement for the mainte-
nance of fixed reserve against liza
bilities of the banks, either notes or
deposits, and in the absence of any
system of government inspection of
the banks. The policy has gradually
grown up. however. of considering a
reserve of fifteen per cent desirable

falling below this are likely to be ad-
