PANICS-THEIR CAUSES AND THE
REMEDY.

The quadrennial warning Touch the tarin
and bring on panic" serves we'll during
presidential election--or the protectionists
think it does, which amounts to the same
thing---but when men get together to devise
means of preventing these periodical sea-
sons OF business depressions they work on the
theory that they caused by our ineastic
currency system. That this is the real cause
10 universally recognized, except by political
mouth-pieces of the benehcaries of the pro-
lection system. Talk OF panics as substi-
tute for argument on the tariff is necessary
during political campaign, though 1t is our
opinion that the high-tarir politicians under
rate the intelligence OF the electorate. but with
the election and the time at hand for
action, II is the reform of the currency system
10 which the leaders turn their attention At
temps have been made in the past to secure
this mnch-needed reform but the devotees of
protection were too blinded by the glare OF
pront to see the need and. deafened by the
outcries of the special interest. heard not the
call OF the statesmen.
These panlcs have been occurring about
the last In 1907 They come Immediately after
season of unusual prosperity and business
activity Probably it would be nearer the
truth to say that these seasons of activity are
eut short by the financial panics which they
create. Exceptional business activity increases
the demand for money. and the demand soon
-hteeEaes greater than the supply The result
I Il 4 money stringency, which cannot be re-
IIeyed by any system. Paper money can be
secured by the banks only by the purchase OF
United States bonds. which decreases the
banks supply of cash. and when the pressure
comes the banks are unable to meet the de-
r1ands for loans for want of sufficient sup
Y NV on hand. Moreover. they are fearful OF
lending as much as they would under ordinary
circumstances as the need OF cash makes a
srun' on the bank possible.
For the nrst time within years the outlook
fcr currency reform seems bright. The Demo
cratic party is In power and shows DISPOSE

CURRENT COMMENT

Just how far individual responsibility for ones
acts of lawlessness should be determined by in
heritance or environment, We are not pre-
pared to say. In every conspiracy shrewdy
planned act of law breaking, there is usually one
dominant. strong wiied character, whose daring
reekiessness and utter disregard of law may be
explained upon the theory that he, in turn has
been creature Of unfortunate circumstances
or surroundings. The attempt to shift respon-
sibility for crime is new thing but how far
It should prove successful Is of very. serious mo-
ment. Is the drunkard who commits a crime
guilty. or is it the who may be responsible
for his condition?

Andreas viessmann, Stabbed
by CoIored Porter a Year
Ago, Dies.

Andreas Viessmann, saloonkeeper at
sol H street northwest, died at his

Viessmann was attacked and cut by a
colored porter named John Brown, alias
John Roy.
Coroner hewitt will hold an inquest
at the morgue Monday morning. An
autopsy will be performed in the mean
time to definitely determine the cause
Of death.
Brown had been in Viessmann's en-
ploy only a few days before the cut
ting. Late the night Of May ID the
saloonkeeper had trouble with the por-
ter. and the latter, 1t is alleged, cut
him number Of times in the left side.
Viessmann was in a critical condi-
ton at the Emergency Hospital sew
eral weeks. He finally was able to re-
turn home, although he never fully
recovered from the effects OF the cut
ting. During the past two months he
has been under treatment.
The porter escaped after the cutting
ARRAY, and the police were unable to
capture him. Viessmann was thirty
six years old. He was native Of Ger
many and had resided in Baltimore be-
fore he came to this city six years
ago. The funeral will take place Mon
