TAFTS RECORD.

For more than ten years Taft has
been on his knees to the Church of
Rome.
AS a public man, he must have
been sufficiently intelligent to know
that his mission to the Vatican in
1902 was wholly un-American, and
Inundated the United States in the
eyes OF all the nations of the earth.
His agreement to pay the Vatican
100000 for lands in the Philip
pines which the priests did not own,
was a huge concession to papal graft.
But Rome got the money.
Rome afterwards put in a claim
against the U. S. for $2,500,00 for
damage done church property by
U. S. troops in the Philippines"
This claim was unanimously
turned down by an expert commits
sion which included one Roman
Catholic, and $685. was allowed.
Taft moved to double it,
In 1907 Rome put in claim for
damages in Porto Rico. The Porto
Rico people said the claim was
fraudulent. but on Taft's reeommen-
dation Rome got $4,000 and val
liable real estate.
Rome claimed over 100000 for
certain property in Cuba. The Gu
bans considered the claim q down
right fraud; but Roosevelt and Taft
ordered the Cuban people to pay to
Rome $1.500,O00 for this property
which Spain had taken from the
church 70 years ago!
William H. Taft, after the San
francisco earthquake, made plea

THE CLEARINGHOUSE MO-
NOPOIY.

Theoretically a Clearing House is
a cooperative banking institution
whose powers are as responsible and
whose affairs are as public as those
Of the member banks. Practically
the New York Clearing House is a
private association of some banks
which are. responsible only to them
selves and which exercise powers
approximating those of life and
death over other banks
These great powers are in the
hands of committee of five men. 1t
requires a three ourths vote Of
members to admit a bank, a ma iority
may expel, and banks with less than
share capital of 100000 are
absolutely excluded. Expulsion may
be without stated cause or even a
the bank. So much more appears
from the testimony of William
Sherer, manager of the New, York
clearinghouse, before the Pujo
committee of Congress.
1t is thus possible for this Clear
lighthouse of limited membership to
deny clearing facilities to whomso-
ever it pleases and so practically to
exclude any man or set of men from
the banking field AS it can keep
out new Or small banks, so it can
throw down old and large banks.
The Knickerbocker Trust Company
was thrown down and run upon by
the refusal of member bank to
clear for it, which precipitated the
panic of 1907, and four other banks
were later brought to failure on
mere order from the committee.
This is not only monopoly. 1t is
monopoly without the slightest pub
lie responsibility or regulation. It is
monopoly exercising powers beyond
those of any officer of Government
which charters banks, and powers in
denial Of those conferred by Govern
ment under the free banking system.
They are powers too great for I'M
regulated private control Incorpo-
ration and public regulation of the
Clearing House have become impera-

RELIEF WORK IN CHINA.

One Of the most interesting notes
that can be made upon the work of
the Central China famine fund COM
mittee comes from we'll known
Shanghai lady who spent few
weeks in the famine district. Where
she was, at Pengpu. and generally
through North Anhui and Kiangsi,
the work being carried out was the
dyking Of the Hawai- river, and with
the methods now in force-reIief Civ
en- for work done-she has little
hesitation in saying that new era
has d2wned for the people there. A
few Of her notes upon the subject
will serve to convey an adequate
conception Of the great value Of the
work in progress. She says:
cit is the most amazing thing I
