All Commercial Banks of Country
Should Be Included as Stockhold-
ers in Central Bank.

one objection frequently mad to
n central bank is the difficulty of
raising the necessary capital. This
objection rests on the false assump-
ton that national banks only should
be stockholders OF the new bank. No
such bank would have the confidence
Of the public unless all the CONNER
cial banks of the country were in
cluded in it as stockholders. If the
state banks and the trust companies.
as we'll as the national banks, had the
right to subscribe to the extent of say
10 per cent of their paid in capital.
the necessary capital would be
promptly forthcoming. In September,
1908, there were 6.S53 national banks,
1920 state banks and SAP loan and
trust companies, q total of 1875 in
situations engaged in commercial
banking. Their aggregate paid in
capital. exclusive of surplus, and I'M
divided profits, was 81, 500. 000, 600. A
10 per cent subscription, payable in
gold, would start the new bank with
Il capital of $3.50, 600, 600.
No institution should be allowed to
control stock in excess of 10 per cent
Of its own capital nor in excess oi 2
per cent of the capital stock of the
central bank.
Another familiar objection is that
the control would become centralized
or politically warped. This is the
same objection which was made in
Europe when the private issuers OF
currency for the several nations were
called upon to surrender their time
honored privilege. 1t is the same OBJ
lection which was made in this coun-
try when crude politics II the mex
perience of the people wiped out the
Second Bank Of the United States in
the bygone days of Andrew Jackson.
And it is the identical objection which
was subsequently made by the old
state banks when their abused right
to issue currency was about to be
transferred to the new national banks.
He who believes that an American
central bank is politically impossible
fails to grasp the situation. For it is
the vice of the present system that II
inevitably tends to Capitalization OF
banking power. 1t permits the larger
proportion of the circulation to be is
sued and retired at the option of the
large banks, the stock of which is in
comparatively few hands, and il
makes the currency supply OF twelve
thousand state institutions absolutely
dependent upon the will of six thou
sand national institutions, notwith-
standing chat the deposits of the for.

Why Government Bonds Are Selling
on n False Basis.
Government bonds are selling upon
n false basis because they are deposit
cd with the government by the ma
tional banks which issue currency al
par upon the deposit. It is claimed
by the national banks. and rightly SC,
that they would lose millions OF dol
lars upon their bonds, If the change
was made to an asset circulation. In
October. 1908. the outstanding bond
secured circulation was s632.000,0 600
of which 80 per cent. or $554,000 600,

After the currency panic OF 1907
the business community demanded OF
congress that monetary reform should
be no longer delayed. The response
of congress was to create q monetary
commission and to place another
patch upon the existing system in the
shape of authority to national banks
to form local associations to issue
emcrgency circulation.
The national bank act was a war

people, could have pros
pered under a system which caused SO
many financial upheavals and such
constant and unnecessary expansions
and contractions of banking credits
1t is the experience of Europe and
of his country that a nations money
must be based on three principles: Cd
That the circulation be issued by one
ms tuition, whereby the amount out
standing may be increased or de-
creased, according to the natural laws
Of supply and demand, CD that the
institution be not owned, pul SupVi
vised by, the government, whereby It's
great powers may not be abused; 90
and that the circulation be secured by
barking assets-gold, commercial pa
per and securities. Dur currency is
not issued by one institution, super
vised by the government, in the inter
est Of the whole country. 1t is issued
by $3.50 national banks, large and
small, scattered over forty-six states
and each having the right TO issue OF
withdraw circulation without the guild
ance or restraint OF any central au-
thority.

THE M0NTEN EGRIN.

He Is HospitabIe, but Dearly Loves the
Vendetta.
To listen to u Bulgar singing Is to
make ones flesh creep or want TO
weep. The centuries of cruel oppres-
sion are only too manifest in Bulgarian
music and words. but Montenegro
grows restless over his songs and
curses the powers that forbid him to
emulate his forefathers' deeds en-
masse across the frontier. He does

and threes.
When the Montenegrin goes raiding
across the border it is really more

Tho Last Of tho Rufus.

In 1862 the rage for rufus. such as are
seen on many monumental effgies, be-
gan to decline. A writer in the Lon
don Chronicle Of that year says Of gen.
tlemen's dress, Their cuffs entirely
cover their wrists. and only the edges
Of their ruft]es are to be seen." 1t is
said that a distaste for ruffs was first
created so far back as 1913. when a
woman named Turner wore them on
her trial for the murder by poison of
Sir Thomas Overbury. The French
revolution Of 1889 much Influenced
British fashion. and the picturesque
cooked hat and ruftles then gave way
generally to round hats and small
cuffs. The period Of their final disuse
cannot be easily determined, as men
of old fashioned or eccentric habits
have worn ruffled shirt fronts within
quite recent memory similar to those
which, according to Planche's Ellis
tory of British Costume" originated
in the seventeenth century.

Birds Eqqs.

Ostriches lay the largest eggs Of all
birds now extant, according to writ
er in the Scientific American. but the
ostrich's egg would have appeared
small beside that extinct Madagascar
bird, the epyornis, which measured
more than thirty inches in its small
est circumference. The smallest BIRDS
eggs are those Of the minute species Of
humming birds, which are smaller
than the eggs of certain kinds of trop-
ical beetles. But the cuckoo lays the
relatively smallest egg-that is to say,
while the jackdaw and the cuckoo are
about equal in size, the formers egg is
five or six times larger than the lat
ter's. The fact that the cuckoo Is
wont to deposit its eggs in the nests
Of birds which are usually much small
er than itself doubtless accounts for
this. The relatively largest egg is laid
by the kiwi, a strange, wingless New
Zealand bird. The egg is no less than
five inches long, although the extreme
length of the bird itself is only twen-
ty-seven inches.

Tho Conductors Baton.

According to the investigations Of a
Frenchman, the credit Of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer. who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopt
ed the baton conductors were in the
habit Of pounding on the floor with
their feet or clapping their hands to
mark the time. Lully found it weari-
some to keep his foot constantly in mo-
ton and so used a stick to strike the
floor and beat time. He used a pole
six feet long. One day he brought
down the pole with such force that it
struck his foot and made deep
wound. He paid no attention to the
matter. The wound grew worse and
ultimately caused his death. After
his time conductors tried more and
more to improve the baton, and it was
ultimately brought to its present form.

WHIPPED BY MACHINERY.
Automatic FIoggers Used by Several
European Armies.

Automatic flogging machines are in
use among the military forces Of sew
eral European nations. For many
years the whipping was always done
by soldiers under the command of an
officer. and the punishment varied. ac-
cording to the personal relations sub
sisting between the soldier and his vic
tim. 1t was to correct this disadvan-
tage that the flogging machine was in
vented.
The machine is automatic in action.
and as soon as the culprit is fastened
In position a spring is frightened or
loosened to gauge the exact force Of
the blow. A pointer is moved over a
dial to the requisite number of strokes
and the mechanism is started.
With perfect regularity the victims
back is scourged by the throngs, the
handle Of the whip being moved by a
screw device after each stroke so that
the lash does not fall on the same spot
throughout the punishment.
Each blow is of uniform severity.

has been given the machine comes to
a rest, and the offender is released.

FROM THE TRAINING

Ben Lomond. June 1.-"Hit hard"
was the order today at James J. jeff
ries' camp when the former champion
began boxing again after a layof OF
more than week.
Jeffries laid down the law to his
sparring partners before he began
intimating that if they did not slug
he would. The result was immediate
ly noticeable
Bob Armstrong was the first man
up. He rushed Jeff from the start
and set lively pace for three rounds.
Just before time was called in the
bout, Jeff drove his glove into Bob's
midsection and Armstrong doubled up
with grunt.
Joe Choynski came next for three
rounds, and the pair stepped arc Ind

ski displaying even more skill than
usual. The main event, however, was
the two round 90 with Sam Berger,
who came last. Jeffries was evidently
saving up for his manager, and they
went at it in slam-bang fashion,
roughing it around the ring until it
looked like good old knock down
and drag out battle. Sam hit hard and
Jeffries replied in kind, much to Ber-
gers discomfort toward the close of
the bout. The bouts were the near
est approach to the real thing since
Jeffries started to work. Then fol-
lowed bit of road work.
After the boxing came a fast hand
ball game with James J. Corbitt. who
hugely enjoyed watching the boxing.
Corbett will not do any sparring until
next Monday when he expects to be
in good shape.

BURNING THE DEAD.
A Custom That Can b Traced. Back
to the Earliest ACES.

to the Earliest Ages.
Cremation has been practiced by
most of the nations of the earth from
the earliest ages, and. although In pa

form of fire worshiping, there can be
no doubt that its adoption by the an
clients was for the most part prompt

the body of Argus to his father.
thought this the most convenient way
Of fulfilling his promise. According to
Homer. the burning Of the dead was a
common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war. but the
earliest record of it is among the
Scythians. who inhabited the vast re-
gion known under the name of Tar
tary Slender accounts handed down
concerning the manners Of some of the
ancient natives of Hindustan also al
lude to the custom. The idea of puri-
fcation by fire was in all ages univer-
sal, and with good reason. Some be-
lieved that the body was unclean after
the departure Of the soul. and it was
therefore deemed necessary that it
should be purified by fire. Ovid ex-
pressed the general opinion Of his time
when he said that the soul was not
completely separated from the body
until the latter was consumed on the
pyre. The Athenians invariably after
a battle burned the slain.

Eashione In Rorneo,

According to the rules Of Borneoan
fashion it is deemed necessary to mold
ones limbs into more shapely form
than that bestowed by nature. This is
done really effectively by winding
strong brass wire round the ankles, the
wrists. under the knees and above the
elbows of children. Growth at these
points is, in consequence, greatly ham,
pered, with the result that the limbs
come to be deformed or. according to
Dyak ideas. brought into proper shape.
The headdress consists Of curious
headwork cap. and around his neck a
bridegroom to be wears bangles of
plated fiber and strings of cowrie
shells. These shells. by the way. as in
other parts of the world. are used as
currency. A yard of fiber or twenty
to thirty cowrie shells represent the
value of a penny. The white armlets
are made of another species of shells.

some ADVANCES have Been

mission by the Western Trunk Line
association, making advances in the

go and Milwaukee and between Chi

Paul and eastern destinations on

While these tariffs are not so i'm
portant as those making general ad-
vances in commodities between the
Missouri river and the Mississippi
river transfers, they nevertheless
are OF a considerabl concern to ship
pers in the western trunk line terri
tory to Atlantic seaboard points. The
increase in the freight transportation
of wool from St. Paul points to New
York and Boston particularly is of i'm
mense interest to consignors, as it
means a fiat advance of 10 cents a
hundred pounds. This increase ap-
plies to all western wool passing
through st. Paul or Minneapolis des.
tined to Atlantic tide-water restina-
lions.
It is not explained why the injunc-
ton sought by the department of JUS
tiee was not made applicable to all

much in the way of furniture. 1t Is
silver eagle mounted upon stan

This mace is always an emblem OF
the house Of representatives. 1t Is the
duty of one employee to look after It..
Just before Il session of the house be-
gins he takes 1t from the Office of the
sergeant-at-arms into the house cham
Der. and Az soon as the speakers gavel
falls he inserts it in socket IN
stone pillar at the right of the speak

while the house is in session and is
taken out and stood beside its pedes-
tai when the house is III committee OF
the whole. When the house adjourns
the mace Is carried back to the office
of the sergeant-at-arms.
This ancient emblem has not q thing
to do with the order Of business of the
house, save as one Of the old time reg

house is turbulent an officer seizes the
mace and walks through the aisles.
Only once or twice when the speaker
