PUBLIC MONEY FOR BANKS.

There is always more or less discus
sion at this time Of the year on tho
question Of raising money "to move the
crops" Frequently we see the claim
in the New York papers that the New
York banks are about to furnish this
money. That means only that the
Country banks so called, through
the old West and old Northwest are
calling home their money from New
York in order To use it at home for
moving and marketing the grain.
This year the crops are so unusually
heavy that there is an anticipation Of
demand for an unusual quantity of
money "to transport those crops to
market 1t has been said. as noted
above, that the New York banks are
going 10 furnish this money. Then we
have The word that the local banks
all over the old West and Northwest
arc so plcntifully provided with money
that they will be able to move the
crops, without any help. Then comes
another view Of it. which SAYS that tho
Treasury Department is 10 be called
upon to put from 5000, 900 to $50
600, 900 Of the surplus money in the
Treasury as deposits in the banks of
the farming regions TO assist those
banks IN moving the crops This
is pronounced in some quarters TO be
"a simple, sane thing to do;' but in
other quarters ii is pronounced to be
n h.
necessary. And it is pointed out that

about the terrible stress for money lo

greater this year than for many wears

parts Of Europe.

CHANGES FORM, NOT SUBSTANCE

1t will be remembered that in very
noteworthy speech in Berkeley, Cali
fornia, Col Roosevelt made the declar-
alton with respect to the SECESSION Of
Panama from Colombia, preparatory to
the occupancy of the Canal zone and
while Congress was disposed 10 discuss
the question, he "took it, and left
Congress to debate as long as it would
The assertion was so bald, SO untrue,
so utterly immoral from the standpoint
of international relations, that the
Minister from Colombia to the United
States Immediately cited it and made
renewed protest in behalf Of his coun-
try against the assumed participation
of the United States in the secession of
the State of Panama from the CO.
lombian confederation and the "tak-
ing' Of that State by the United States.
Later the Colombian Minister renewed
in more offensive form his objection,
and had to be sent home.
1t is curious that Roosevelt will learn
nothing from these results Of his I'M
warranted and blatant assertions. But
he does not now put the case quite
so badly as ne had in the first place.
In his recent speech at Seattle on his
Western tour he put it in this form;
There had been four centuries Of con-
Versation about the canal and I thought
we might just as we'll translate CONVEX
sation into action. though l allowed Con-
gress to debate me instead of the canal
Congress has been debating me fitfully
ever since, and VIII possibly continue so
bate and the people got the canal
That statement differs only from the
notorious one at Berkeley in omitting
the piratical expression FtI took It. -
And yet in all essential respects it
means the same thing, and it is untrue
as expressed in either form
II is noteworthy that Roosevelt con-
siders, in putting the matter as he did
that it is the President who HallowsU
Congress TO do one thing or another
He " allowed" Congress to debate him
instead Of the canal. Now, when it
comes to the point of the Chief Exec
utive of this Nation saying that he
'allows" Congress to do one thing or
another, or to talk about him in place
OF about something else, we have gone
very far on the road to the destruction
Of the Republic, so far as his idea Of it
is concerned, If Congress is to be
allowed or disallowed from the
White House with respect to what it
does, what is the use OF having a Con-

their views through their home pa

The extract is illuminating as dis
closing the attitude of mind OF Col.
Roosevelt in considering himself, as
President, to be the real power in the
Nation and the real authority upon
which everything that is done is found
ed Whom we consider, further, his
active and determined hostility to the
courts and his railing against all tho
Federal judiciary, even including the
Supreme Court. and remember that the

but everything there Is; overshadowing
the legislative and judicial functions,
and eliminating them as far as possible
from their riehtful or from any par
ticipation in National affairs.
