clared Mr. Stockly.
ON account of delay in receiving

done before August or September. Mr..
Oehner, the representative of the
Murray Asphalt company stated that

PRESIDENT AS A POLITICIAN
Cabinet Appointments Seem to Show
That He Knows Something Of
the Game.

Exit Mr.. Dickinson from the Taft
cabinet. Enter Mr. Stimson Of New
York.
Admirers Of Mr.. Taft have said he
lis no politician"
One OF his pet projects has been
to secure Republican aid in the
south. Mr.. Dickinson, a Tennessee
Democrat. was appointed secretary
of war. Tennessee, SO long hope and
pride OF the southern Democracy, now
has a Republican governor, and Luke
Lea is a senator from the state.
Tennessee Republicans are certain
to send Taft delegation to the Re-
publican National convention.
So far, SO good-in connection with
Mr.. Tafts plans in that section.
Now support is needed in New York
for the Taft wing of the Republican
party.
Mr.. Dickinson oteps down. Mr..
Stimson has been regarded as a rep
resentative OF the Roosevelt faction.
He was Roosevelt's candidate for the
governorship. Mr.. Taft secures Slim.

AFRAID OF TRICKERY
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW MORE
OF ALDRicH'S FINANCIAL
PLAN.
National Reserve Association q
Cloak for National Bank?-Whole
Truth Of the Matter Must Be
Made Public.

Many a good dinner has been eat
en- in New York and elsewhere, Incl
dentally to discuss Mr.. Nelson w. Al
drich's new financial plan. Every
thing on the bills of fare has been
plain enough except the name OF the
dish which Mr.. Aldrich himself has
provided He calls 1t a National Re-
serve association. He emphatically
denies that 1t is a Central bank or a
bank of the United States.
The delicacy became popular at
financial banquets without delay, but,
having a desire to oblige his friends,
the great chef who first prepared it
has encouraged other good-livers to
suggest improvements This weighty
matter has been in progress for some
time, and now whenever men of money
break bread with Mr. .Aldrich various al
legged improvements are either adopt
ed or rejected. So far as we have OBJ
served, however, nobody, even at the
foot OF the table. has ventured to
suggest that the thing he called by
Its right name.
Some plain Americans have noted
the fact that on the menu cards of our
ur-to-date hotels very homely articles
Oh diet are often hidden behind
strange French or Italian phrases
There is reason to believe that If the
plain people of the United States are
ever to look with favor upon Mr.
Aldrich's triumph OF cookery he will
have to tell them exactly what it is.
They have a right to know anyway,
but the Pure-Food law can be in
voked IL necessary.
A great deal is to be said In favor
of Central bank. That such an in
stitution has many advantages is
proved by the experience of other ma
lions. Correctly managed, it pro-
tects credit, regulates circulation and
prevents or minimizes panics. Bad
ly managed, it may become corrupt,
partial and tyrannous. In the control
of financial politicians and political
financiers 1t may arbitrarily dominate
commerce and industry-even govern
ment itself-for selfish ends. We
have had Central banks of the last de-
scription. We have never had one of
the first.
1t is morally certain that no Cen
trail bank will ever be established in
this country under a misleading title.
Historical, political and personal preju-
dices against such an institution are
very strong. They can be removed
only by facts and argument presented
with the utmost candor A good way
to begin this movement would be by
an honest avowal of its object-New

divers inconsistent Consistency.


The reasons Senator Oliver OF Penn
sylvania gives for opposing the pulp
and paper provision of the Canadian
agreement are like the weapon en-
ployed by the butcher in a fight, who
grabbed the first thing he could get
his hands on, which. in the case of the
butcher, was sausage.
Mr.. Oliver points out that under the
provisions of the agreement only pulp
taken from private Canadian lands
and paper made from such pulp would
be admitted free because the agree
ment retains the duty on these arti-
cles when they are subjected to a
Canadian export duty, and the crown
lands of the provinces are subjected
to such a duty.
The senator, therefore, puts himself
in the attitude of Directing to free
pulp and paper because 1t would not
be so free as It should be when, as
matter of fact, he does not want 1t
to be free at all. The probability
would be that with the proposed dis
elimination against the Canadian ex-
port duty, that duty would be removed
from the crown lands under the oper.
