Very Scientific Punishment

Here is charming description Of CO

one of the leading newspapers Of Italy
and will astonish some people here as
much as 1t probably astonished the
Italian headers:
THE most incorriGible persons are

shackled to a bath in which there is a
little water. They are stripped and
made to lie down in the bathtub In
the water is wire leading from one
pole OF an electric battery. Another
wire leading from the other pole Is
placed in contact with a sponge which
is applied to the bare body of the pris-
oner. Each time it touches him be re-

ness when carried long distances upon
the ocean, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. For that reason many rare
and interesting specimens captured In
tropical countries cannot be brought
alive to northern points for public In
spection. In recent shipment Of 400
fish from Key West to New York more
than 100 died on the way and the TO-
mainder arrived in a condition that re-
quired heroic treatment to save their
lives. According to this 1t may be pre-
sumed that the agony endured by hu-
mans when the ship begins to pitch
and roll Is as nothing compared with
the same sufferings OF tank inclosed
fish. AS precaution the fish are fed
practically nothing for at least one day
before being taken on board. The gal
vanized iron tanks in which the fish
are carried contain from ten to City
gallons Of sea water kept at a constant
temperature Of about 80 degrees by
steam from the ships boilers during

EDITORIALS
WALL STREETS POSITION

That Wall Street and the bank
ers generally oppose the admins
tration's currency bill, known as
the Glass-Owens bill which passed
the House by large majority, is
generally known. but the reasons
for their opposition are not so we'll
understood. These reasons are
summed up as follows by the New
York World:
They do not want currency re-
form, they do not want bank re-
serves removed from Wall street
control, they do not want or, want
the country to have any of the
great financial advantages and safe
guards, provided alike by the AL
drich and by this bill, so much as
they want a central bank, which
the Aldrich bill alone provided;
as much as they want such a bank
under their control as that bill pro-
vidsd; so much as they want vol
untary bank membership in the
new system which the big bankers
could use to maintain their con-
troll over the country's banking
credit, as that bill alone provided.
1t is now a matter of the greatest
regret" that they did not rush the
bill through when they had a con-
gress more nearly under their con-
troll.
One does not need to be a finan-
cier to underVtand that.
1t is telling Indictment of the
selfishness of Wall street.
A prominent member of the
American Bankers Association re-
Gently said it was a matter of the
greatest regret" that the Aldrich
bill did not become a law. But
every worthy feature of that r,ea-
sure, entitled to public support, is
found in the pending Glass o wen
bill. To quote the World again:
This pending measure provides
an elastic currency substantially
in the manner of the Aldrich bill.
1t provides a mobilization of
bank reserves against their use by
stock market gamblers in creating
panic conditions and for their use
in preventing panic. |
1t provides rediscount system
like the Aldrich bill. |
1t divides the country into redis-
count districts like the Aldrich
bill.
1t extends these privileges to
state bank aud trust companies, like
the Aldrich bill.
1t provides for limited farm
land loans like the AIdrich bill.
1t provides for foreign branch |
banks like the Aldrich bill.
II offers to member banks more
liberal profits, more liberal redis-
count privileges and more liberal !,
cssh reserve privileges than did
the Aldrich bill.
But it is not satisfactory to the
bankers at large" while the AL
drich bill was and is.
To sum up the whole matter, |
Wall street wants no currency leg-I
islstioD that may or must weaken
it's own control over the money
market.
What Wall street wants is to
strengthen and fortify it's present
financial power and keep the west
tributary TO its Golfers.
