ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT
BY ROY K. MOULTON.

Echo Answers 'Where?"
Where, oh where, is the old grandma
Who used to love to sit
Around the fireside all day long
And knit and knit and knit?
Where, oh where, is the good old man
Who used to light his pipe
With coal of fire from the kitchen stove
OF the old cast-iron type?
Where, oh where, are the good old songs
Our mothers used to sing?
Where, oh where, is the sulphur dope
She gave us in the spring?
Where are the good old pumpkin pies
And the games we used to play;
"Old Spat-em-out, ''Postoffice," too,
Hunt Cole and "Pull-away?"
Where is the trunk strap father had
Saved up out in the shed?
Where is the good old scrubbing brush
That ma. used on our head?

Where is the good old kitchen pump
That froze up every night?
Where is the good old husldn' bee
That was our chief delight?
Where are the joys that once we knew,
Joys of day so rare?
Where are the years that have flown so
fast?
And echo answers: "Where7"

with a band of thieves who were as
sociates before her reform. Her attitude
in the play is on the side of virtue. Thus
she exerts all her influence to prevent
the ruin of young woman 1ured
from her country home under promise
of marriage by a member of the band
of thieves. They hold their meetings
in the basement of Hates house. but,

sets out to thwart their plans wher
they cause the arrest of a man with
price on his head-a western train
robber. He is trying to be on the
square but does not care to give uE
his liberty in expiation OF his crimes.
Kate has taken a sentimental interest
in this fugitive and resents the treach
cry of her former associates in caus-
ing his arrest in order that they may
get the reward.
Paul Armstrong, one of the authors
of the play, was recently asked where
he studied the original of Frisco
Kate
'An over the world he replied.
wherever there is crime, there are
women like Kate Fallon. Nine times
in ten, the woman who has been bad
and, nearing the thirties in life, de-
sires to reform, makes the first step
by taking dodgers. The psychology OF
this is easy to the student of big city
life. The criminal bent on reform Is
never sure Of himself or herselfe-fear
of the police operates to kill confidence
The lodging house is a sort of bridge
between crime and responsibility. If
one be successful as a renter of lodS-
ings, all well and good-it may lead
to something better. If one fail, then
the slide back into the old life is easy.

Youngest Prima Donna of Two Con

Youngest Prima Donna OF Two con-
Fraulein Mizzi Hajos, Hungarian
daughter of a tilted family, comes
to this, city as the star of 1.-The Spring
Maid" April Is.
F'rau1ein Hajos was born in Buda-
pesth only twenty years ago. Her first
visit to the theater was at the age CT
four. From that time my mother had
no time to do anything but keep me
from going on the stage" says the little
prima donna.
When she was IA, Mizzi Hajos fol-
lowed a custom common among i'm
portant players of Hungary, and gave
a. series of recitals in which she alone
was the entertainment. It was made
up of her limitations of well known
actors and actresses, songs and piano
mum ers, and these entertainments
were given under the patronage of the
Hungarian Court. These first attempts
proved so unexpectedly successful that
parental objection stopped suddenly
and the diminutive Marie Madelaine
Hajos, as she was christened, was sent
to the National Academy of the Thea
ire to remain for five years as was the
custom.
Her talents were such that at the end
of a single year she was considered
graduated to create the leading wom-
ans part in the comedy now known in
America as THE Seven Sisters" She
was then but Is years old and had
broken two of the iron-clad convention
alities of European stage-land in that
she had become a star at single step
and had passed the Academy in sim

issue of notes, also used as a medium of exchange? It is patent that the pro- posed reform makes no change in the issue of greenbacks by the treasury. Whether wise or unwise, that question of bank notes has long been permitted to the national banks. although the supervisory action of the state is eX- erciSed in many ways under the na- tiOnal banking law, by regulations, eX- aminations and the like. The proposal to reconstruct the system of bank note issues raises no new nor fundamental question. It is not a choice between government issues and bank issues It is merely a matter of encouragement by which the national banks may re- tain their present issues-if they pre- fcr-or have them transferred to a common agency representing all the banks, yet supervised by government officials; and so that this cooperative agency may issue in the common in , terest such emergency circulation as may be needed in any time of stress.
 When one of the parties in the rec ent political campaign declared that the issue of surrency was Iundanen- tally government function" it seemed
 to be based on the assumption that pa Der money is the essential medium of exchange by which trade performs is
 work This we know to be untrue. This statement assumes. moreover, that the government is an institution which
 is so closely in contact with business
 transactions that it can carry through
 loans by an issue of notes when want
 ed, and withdraw them when the trans
 actions are closed. This also we know
 to be untrue There are certain opera
 tions of trade and banking which could
 not be performed by q government
 even if they wished tO-and the issue Of notes in connection with the func-
 tions of discount is one of them. It would, moreover. be utterly impossible
 for a government issue to have elac-
 ticity, since it is not a banking insti-
 tuition granting loans to private per
 sons. The whole history of govern
 ment issues has been one not only of
 inelasticity. but even of folly. Even
 the highly paternalistic states like
 Germany and rance, find it desirable
 to have the currency issued, not by
 the government, but by banks. Prob
 ably these great commercial countries 1 had never heard of the principles laid
 down in thep latform just noted.
Arizona republican., 1912-12-09

We may start from the eXiOmatic proposition, which all will admit. that the state itself cannot-Or should not attempt to-perform the private bank ing functions of deposit and discount. That is, it could not attempt to offer loans to all it's citizens, judge of the character of paper, grant loans to one and refuse them to another. We have not yet reached that extreme of So- cialism, even if it were possible And yet the deposit currency is q very part and consequence of the banking func- tions of discount and deposit which, under our polity, lie outside of the di- rect performance by the state-no out side of it's supervision. If the govern ment should not undertake the work of private banking functions, it cannot create the deposit currency, our chief medium of exchange. This conclusion is too obvious to need further discus sion, but it leads to something more. No Special Profit in Bank Notes. The particular service rendered by q bank note is very much the same as
 that rendered by the depOsit-currency. When q bank makes a loan. it's profit is
 the same whether it grants to the bor- rOWer it's demand obligation in the form of a note or Of a deposit account. The two differ, however, in some mat
 ters of duration and distance of circu-
 lation, which are well known and Ob- vious. But the borrower should have choice, without difference in expense,
 between the deposit currency and the
 bank note. Because he lives in a rural community, away from a city, and wishes to use notes, there is no reason why his medium of echange should cost him more than the deposit cur
 rency does the city man Gas is now the case)
 The point of great importance in connection with bank notes-although they do far less work than the de- posit- currcncy-is to recognize that they. as well as the deposit currency, originate from the private operations of discount and deposit. In proportion to the rise and fall in the amount Of exchanging goods, will more or less notes be called for. accordingly as notes are needed by the community instead of the depOsit-Currency. That Is, the
 issue of such notes cannot be per
 formed properly by any institution not
 directly in touch with the borrowing
 public. As the government is not in
 such touch, it would be impossible for
 it to issue these notes. In the com
 mon interest it may supervise the sys-
 tenn, see that it is enlightened and
 adapted tO modern business, but could
 it possibly render directly the service
 performed by bank notes?
 Note Issue Not a State Function.
 If the deposit currency cannot be
 provided by the government, then how
 about the function of note issue? The
 sovereign control over money re-
 Iuains. Our gold standard and it's di-
 rection lies above all private mOdifi-
 cation. But who should control the

 checks drawn on deposit accounts in banks We have the gold standard, in which contracts and prices of goods are expressed, and in which our vari- Ous media of exchange are directly or indirectly convertible, but gold is sell dom used as a medium of exchange. We have gold and silver certificates, greenbacks and national bank notes, but the amount of the transactions in goods performed by them is insignifi cant as compared with those perform ed by checks drawn on deposits.
 A glance over the totals of the items for all national banks from 1866 to the present day shows that the increased business of the country has been met, not by any significant increase of the note issues, but by an extraordinary increase of the deposit t-currency-i. e, checks drawn on bank deposits. While notes have risen from about $300,000, 900 to $700, 100000. deposits have risen from $500. .000, 900 to $4400 000000, and the figures for banks outside the na- tional system strengthen this showing. for they issue no notes, providing on- ly deposit currency

Costly Substitutes for Tips

The worm has finally turned. On
 delphia barber has been arrested and
 held to bail in the sum of $1200 on
 the charge of unlawfully, if not feloni-
 ously, forcing upon his victim various
 and sundry preparations not ordered
 and charging therefor $125. retaining
 the customers watch as security for
 payment
 The tonsorial parlor patronized by
 the Philadelphian is a mo tip" outfit,
 but if the complainant tells the truth
 this alleged virtue was compensated
 by practices which Ali Baba's forty
 thieves might have introduced as new methods of extOTtiOn. The order was for a plain, ordinary. every day Quak- CT City, hair cut, without frills. The customer declined to sanction the re- organization of the Standard Oil com pany by submitting to a crude petrol cum shampoo. He desired no tOnics or restOratives warranted to produce hair on a billiard ball or a Dutch turnip, and he abhorred the electric vibrator; but, regardless of his pro tests, he was given all of the treat ments with which the tonsorial artist had equipped his shop. EXasperated by the application of the oil trust product, the "come on" ordered it washed out, and the barber complied, adding the cost of the hair bath to the already swollen bill. No tips were expected, but the man who had en- tered the shop with barely the price
 of a hair cut was presented a check l for $1.25. He escaped with his life, but minus his watch Then he told | his story in court and the grating | barber was haled before the judge. It is to be hoped that this important | matter will not be compromised but | will be taken to the highest courts for | adjudication. It should be definitely | and finally decided whether the pat ron of a barber shop is bound to sub
 init to crude petroleum scalp baths, | the application of insecticides, and be | made the subject of electrical experi-
 ments to compensate a barber for | foregoing tips.
