NO SMALLER BANK BILLS.

The euterprising newspaper corre
spondents have been exploiting the
advantage of having bank bills made
smaller. without consulting the treas
ury department at Washington, and
have made such an mpression-creat-
ed such a state of expectancy-that
special correspondent at the capital
has been authorized to say:
owing to a premature and unau-
thoried announcement, the impression
may have gone forth that the govern
ment contemp1ates an early reduction
in the size of United States paper
currency to 6 inches by 2 12 inches.
The subject has been brought up by
the press and apparently is being de-
bated in various quarters with little
knowledge of the facts. 1t is true that
a special committee of the treasury
department has canvassedi this sub
iect along with others. but no decis-
ion has been reached nor has any plan
to change the size of the notes been
approved by Secretary MacVeagh.
"On the contrary it can be said on
the highest authority that the treasury
department would hesitate to take so
important steps. touching as it does
the convenience of the banking houses
and the public generally. without a
more or less open discussion of the
subject by the people. If it felt free
to act on its own initiative only. no
doubt the government would institute
o thorough reform in the designs and
size Of its own paper currency. The
Designs are often unsystematic and
almost inartistic, although beautifully
executed by the engravers, and great
economy could be effected by chang
ing the designs and reducing the size
of the notes. But this course would
still leave national bank notes at
their present size and cause the con-
fusion which critics are already be-
ginning to predict.
Unfortunately the tentative sug-
gestions for these changes have reach
ed the public indirectly and with no
sta tement accompanying them setting
forth the true position of the treasury
department. or explaining the advan-
tages to be expected from the pro-
posed reform. 1t is possible. now that
the matter has become public in gar
bled form, that Secretary MacVeagh
later will issue such a statement. If
he does the subject will be treated in
sufficient detail to clear up many
points which now appear to be both
ering the bankers. 1t may be said
that. even if the whole country were
in agreement on the change to be
made. the new notes could not be is
sued for bout a year and a half"

THE CONNECTICUT PRIMARIES

The cat-nap is said to be the secret
of President Taft's ability to stand the
strain of his arduous life as executive
head of the nation. He has the knack
of going to sleep when he is tired, if
opportunity offers and waking up re-
freshed after brief repose ready for
renewed exertion. He did this on his
trip across the continent last fall and
is doing it this summer. A Beverly
