JUDGE CATALAN
 RECOVERS HEALTH Thinks Undue Prominence Was Given to His Slight
 IndispOsitiOn

Judge Frank Cahalan, serior judge of the criminal court, returned yester- day from French Lick Springs, Ind, where he has been recuperating from recent indisposition.
 Judge Cahalan will proba bly, resume his position the bench of the crim- inal court Monday morning as he has fully recovered from his illness He feels that undue prominence was given his sickness and that he has never notified the governor or even intimated that he would not be able to continue in a few days, the duties he has so ably filled during his term as judge, and that when he requested Judge Frank W. Smith to act in his stead 1t was understood that his absence would be brief and that he would soon resume his place.
 However, he stated that he had no criticism to make of any action taken by the governor or those in authority. Judge Cahalan looks the picture of health and states that he was much benefited by his trip to the springs.

Illogical and dangerous Tn Enrope the bill of exchange, based on actual goods in transit from the producer to the cor sumer is regarded as better than a gov ernment bon l. Banks there eagerly buy such paper outright, and readily lend on it. Here, the only security readily covertible into cash is speculative sc- curity-stock and bonds. Our surplus funds thus flow to Wall street, to be loaned there on call. The operator on the New York stock exchange gets money cheaper than the farmer or the merchant a condition ,5aralleled in no other civilized country. That explains why, with bum per crops ahead of Us, money is tight. Wall street is discountng our prosperity, and the farmer and the merchant and the manufacturer pay the price-which ulti- mately the consumer must pay in the in- creased price of their products.
 What we need is more elastic credits. We can obtain that with no danger of over imitation if we establish | national rediscount market for commercial paper, and if we pool our banking reserves. These are the prime essentials of a sound monetary system. Until we adopt them we cannot take our place where we be- long, at the head of the great commercial countries of the world. Yours very truly.
