The Law Which President
Roosevelt IGNORED.

-
Roosevelt Ignored.
CONGRESS, in 1862 and 1863, authorized
~ the issuance of Treasury Notes, to the ex-
tent of $45O,0O0,O00. In April, 1866, the re-
tirement of these notes (Greenbacks) began.
In other words, the government began to burn
the money. After $49,OOO,OOO of the currency
had been cast into the fiery furnace, Congress
passed another Act Feb, 1860 stopping the
destruction of the paper money.
During the panic Of 1878, there was clam
Or for more money; and the Government re-
sponded to this demand by issuing SEE, 100000
of Treasury Notes. In 1875, Congress direct
ed that the sum total of outstanding Green
backs should be reduced to $3OOOOO,OO0.
Accordingly, the treasury officials began,
once more, to burn the paper money.
But, in 1873, President Grant called halt.
An Act of Congress MAY 81, 1879 provided
that whenever "Greenbaclz' should be ere
deemed" another should be issued to take its
place.
The amount of Greenbacks left in circula-
ton was $346, 681 900, at which figure it still
remains President Roosevelt gave evidence
of morbid desire to destroy these notes
which bear no interest-in order that the
National banks might put their notes in place
OF them; but there was such an ominous
groWl, all over the land, at such an outrageous
proposition that Roosevelt did not press it.
The Acts Of 1862 and are not merely
permissible; they are mandatory. Subtract
the amount of greenbacks now in circulation
(S346, 681 O00) from the amount which Con-
gress demanded ($450,OOO,OOO) and you will
have the amount WHICH 0ny President can as
sue at auy time.
In 1873, the panic was stopped by the is
suance of S26,OOO,000, by virtue of the laws of
1862 and 3. How much easier it would have
checked the panics of 1893 and 1907 by is
suing the residue of the notes authorized bv
those old Acts, which hare Never been re-
pe0zed.

er Washington.
I IKE many other newspapers, The Nash
Vatbe Banner has a "Question Box" de-
partment Sometimes the answer given to
the question is far from correct
For instance, consider the following:
III. t. Childs, Fayetteville:
Two or three months ago all the newspa-
pers were telling about DR.. Booker T. Wash
lngton in New York City, accosting the wife
OF Harry A. Ulrich, carpenter, calling her
sweetheart-that he peeped through the key
hole into her bedroom-that he was chased
through the streets and beaten by Ulrich-
that Ulrlch and Washington were both arrest
ed and carried to magistrates court. The
papers quit saying anything about it. The
public ought to know the facts. Will the
Query Box please tell what the facts are?
=" Your statement very much perverts the
newspaper accounts. The man Ulrich saw an
unknown negro in the corridor of the tenement
where he (Ulrich) lived in New York. The
negro was STOPPING, peering at a door, Ulrich
made toward him with demonstrations Of an
ger and the negro fed Ulrich overlook and
beat the negro. Both were taken to the DO
lice station, where the negro disclosed his
identity as the famous educator, Booker T.
Washington. He said he went to the tenement
looking for man with whom he had an ap-
polntment and was STOPPING to read the names
on the doors Ulrlch supposed he was peer
ing through the keyhole. Ulrich said some
young women in the house had been previous
ly annoyed by an unknown negro Ulrich
was fined for assault. The newspapers print
ed the whole story"
The questioner knew much more of the
case than is contained in the answer
a dino. to fI,o
er was seen in the hallway of the white apart
ment-house, twice in the same evening AS
Mrs. Ulrlch passed the negro, the second
time he did accost her with, "Hoaody, Sweet
heart"
She Immediately complained to her hus-
band Ulrich, coming into the hallway, saw
Booker bending down as though peeping
through the key-hole of Mrs. Ulrich's bed
ROOM
''What are you doing there?" asked Ulrich
Now, IT Washington was there on legitimate
business why did he not say:
My name is Booker Washington, and [
came here to meet Mr.. Smith, treasurer of
1uskeegee Institute. I mistook the house,
and beg your pardon"
Instead of disclosing his identity and stat
ing his business, Booker showed fight. Then
Olr1ch struck the negro, who took to his heels.
The enraged white man chased the negro
through the streets, hitting HIM whenever in
reach: Booker fell, again and again, during
his silent fight At the police court he gave
his name. He explained that he went to the
apartment house to meet Smith, the treasurer;
but it transpired that Smith had been left at
Tuskegee; and Smith never has said that
Booker had any appointment with him IN
New York.

why! Because it would have affected
many railroads that were not parties to the
case The law requires that they shall have 80

that, IN the absence of the 30 days notice to
the railroads, the Gambler amendment would
have been illegal.
Gambler is, himself, lawyer Did he over
look the fact that the railroads were entitled
to the 30 days notice?
Marvellous to relate! The Smith partisans
and papers actually succeeded in convincing
the people and the Legislature that McLen-
don, III voting against Gamblers illegal
amendment, had defeated Smiths heroic eff
forts to redeem the pledges made an has cama-

Had Smiths original petition been granted

or five Jobblng houses of Atlanta, on a few
commodities, to the det71naemt of Griffin, Ma

adopted, the benefits would have Injured to

Is that plain? defy Judge Hines and the
man back of him, to show that my statement
of the case is not absolutely correct.
Turn from that pitiful farce, enacted be-
lore the Commission, and consider what
Smith pledged himself to do, if the people

Falling of Tomato Blossoms


I am sending you specimen Of tomato

the cause Of the blossoms falling off as
you win see-A. NJ. Clark, Ellis County.
The difficulty has been prevalent III
Oklahoma for number of years, but
appears to have become worse during
the last few seasons. The Station
here has been conducting an investi.
cation of the cause of this disorder,
and while we are not ready as yet to
announce anything definite, we are
strongly OF the opinion that there is
no disease. but that the abnormal con-
dition is due to the very dry air, and
also in a minor degree to a high TEN
perature Complaints are particularly
numerous when we have hot winds
from the Southwest as we had during
the early part of this season, At such
times it seems as though the tomato
plants, even though the ground is
moist, cannot get enough moisture up
from below into the leaves. This af-
fects the blossoms and prevents their
fertilizing. Tomato blossoms and all
blossoms Of this class if they fail to
fertilize drop off at the joint which
you viii always find on the stem Of the
blossom.
