Supreme Court of Finance.

Il believe that central bank, with its
great power. controlled by a directorate
which will stand before the people as a
supreme court of finance. absolutely indie
pendent of all political and selfish alli-
ances. is to be preferred to a cong.om-
eration of banks controlled by selfish
Interests. | want this bank to stand as a
sort of lighthouse that viii keep revealed
always to the banks, the government
and the people the rocks and shoals of
bad banking and imitation. And for this
reason l think that one ail-powerfu
light that can search the continent from
one end to the other will he more effec-
tive than any number Of lanterns oper-
ated by private individuals.
There is not u detail necessary to the
framework of Il national banking system
which will not conform with greater ease,
harmony and economy to central bank
than regional bank system. The task
of putting more than one useful hub into
a single wheel is for politicians; the me
chanic knows il IS impossible. The aTgu-
ment that the vast territory of the United
States requires large number of re-
serve banks has no force whatever in
my opinion. The first thing To be pre-
vented IN any banking system is q money
panic. There must be no fear on the part
Of the people that the token money iii
daily use will not he convertible into
gold upon demand. Certainly q central
bank. with its enormous resources and
powers. would have a great advantage in
this regard over Il large number of banks,
each issuing It's own notes.

Others Joining Fight.

Other organizations added their names
to the petitions this morning. They were
the Wilson and Marshall League of the
District Of Columbia and the Legion of
Loyal Women.
Evidence that the campaign IN WASH
ington has attracted nationwide interest
is contained in the number of letters re-
ceived by Mrs. Logan from men and
women all over the country. TINS morn
ing in Mrs. Logans mail came letter
from a custom house broker in New
York, pointing out that. he could land In
Washington at rate of from ~ TO sc
cents a dozen fresh eggs from norway,
Sweden and Russia. This goes 10 snow,
said Mrs Logan. that there must pe
some manipulation of prices in this coun-
try if fresh-laid eggs in those countries
can be shipped across the ocean ana tnef
overland to Washington at rate a.
which cold-storage eggs are oHered mere.
Letter From a Producer.
Mrs. Logan also received letter from
a farmer at Gainesville, Va, who saio
he conducted a poultry farm and nae
go hens. He declared. said Mrs. Logan
that nothing would give him more satis
faction than to have regular customer
in Washington to whom he could sene
eggs at the prevailing market price Mrs
Logan said that she would write to thi:
| poultry raiser asking him to set a price
on his fresh eggs. She added

MLEAN CONTENDS
FOR CENTRAL BANK
Connecticut Senator Insists
GIasS-0Wen Measure
Is a Futile One.
ANDREW JACKSON'S FIGHT
NOT AGAINST PRINCIPLE
Reviews Causes That Led to De-
structi0n of Second Bank of
the United States.

Senator Mclean of Connecticut. in a
speech in the Senate last night on
the currency bill. pleaded for the es-
Ia blishment Of a central bank and for
less haste in the framing and passage of
a currency law Senator Mclean an
swered the claims Of the friends of Presi-
dent Wilson that the people opposed
to central bank by the statement that
the people want the best currency system
that can be devised and that the central
bank ruled by high government officials
above suspicion. can be demonstrated to
be the best system.
Senator Mclean announced that he did
not oppose the caucus system by which
the present bill before the Senate was
framed as much as some other republic
cans. holding that the responsibility FOR
the bill was thereby more easily fixed.
History of Central Bank.
Senate: Mclean devoted much of his
time to a review o. the history OF the
central bank which was put out of bust
ness by President Andrew jackson, in
an effort to show that It's history did
not prove the failure or unpopularity OF
a central bank. About October % last.
Senator Mclean said. ''the atmosphere
suddenly became charged with declara-
tons that the people Of the country
would never stand fos central bank,
that the democratic party has always
stood firmly against a central bank and
the foundation for this state of mind i'll
the democratic party took its origin in
Andrew Jackson's famous victory over
the Second Bank OF the nited States,
that hydra headed monster and devourer
of the peoples rights.
81 AT once turned my attention TO an
Investigation of the merits of this his
torical incident. and when ] found that
President Jackson in the very message
in which he asked Congress to refuse
charter to Mr. Riddla's bank recoru-
mended the establishment of 4 central
bank | thought it worth while to go
farther into the history of the great
bank VAR and ascertain the real merit,
If any. of the superstition against Il CEN

Prostitution was as free from virtue and
fact the superstition which forbade
