Money was getting uncomfortable

nounced that he would deposit fifty
millions OF public money in the banks

big fellows We're maddcr than ever
at this foolish Democratic admits
tration. Heretofore. even If public
funds were deposited to help move
crops, they were deposited without
interest i'll the big banks in New York
and thence We're sent to the South at
stiff interest rates. The Secretary of
the Treasury says that if fifty mil

will deposit one hundred and fifty
millions. 1t is so good to use the

The big bankers in New York have
not been able to control McAdoo and
they have been Knocking him. The
other day one of the big fellows in
New York was Knocking McAdoo in
the presence of South Carolinian.
The South Carolinian said. You have
no right to complain. You either
could not or would not let us have

to McAdoo letting us nave it Take
a homcly illustration. Suppose YOU
had a crib full of corn and your neigh

not know what the Democrats were
going to do and YOU were going to
keep your corn, could you Justly com

YOU could not spare a bushcl of your

The Advertiser has received the fol-
lowing letter from Congressman John
son on a topic which should be OF
great interest to the citizens OF this
county:
House of Representatives,
Washington.
August IL, 1918
Editor The Advertiser:
For the benefit OF your readers who
have not had full opportunity to keep
in touch with happenings in Wash
ington, let me write a short account
OF the management OF public money
under the Wilson Administration.
How things have changed, The change
is for the better. 1t is refreshing We
have in Wm G. McAdoo Secretary of
the Treasury who thinks and acts in
the interest of the people. For many
years the practice has been TO deposit
without interest millions and millions
of public money in certain large
banks, mostly in New York. For in
stance, early in December 1907 four
big New York banks had on deposit
an average of eleven millions for each
bank, Shortly after Wilson's term be-
gan, Secretary OF the Treasury Nc
Adoo announced that public money in
excess of a working balance would
be deposited in the banks, but that
the banks must pay interest on the
deposit at the rate of two per cont
per annum. Down our way we CON
slider that mighty cheap money. The
big fellows who had been getting mil
lions and millions without interest
for years and years and years and
making millions out of it We're mad.
They were very mad. Some of the
big banks said they would not handle
Uncle Sans money that way. | have
in mind one bank which has made
many millions through the accommo-
dating actions of the Republican Ad-
miniStration. 1t refused to accept
any government money at two per
cent. may also say that this big
bank has done all 1t could to embar-
rass business by staying Close to
shore. This bank and other banks
have been anxious to prevent currency
and banking legislation at this ses-
sion of Congress or during this adj
ministration as for that matter. There
is no doubt about it these banks have
been increasing reserves and rcduc-
ing loans. That means they are keep

y Jimmy McAleer nor Joe Wood

story that smoky Joe" will receive
$500 for his efforts this year to
smoke them past the American
league batters. If it is true. Wood

the possible exception Of Walter
Johnson, who is credited with re-

All we know today is that $500

other pitcher was paid before Nc
Aleer was credited with giving
Wood that amount.
I F this is true, Woods salary is
almost doubled this year-a

nothing of perquisites. So there's
still plenty of easy money if you

"Thatn cost you $50 more for not
telling the truth" retorted the
Giants manager. "Now, didn't you
play?"
Yes. sir, L did" was the meek
response
We'll. see that you don't do it
again" said McGraw dryIy.
In telling this yarn O'Brien shows
that McGraw is the boss and that
because Of hts enforcement and dis
cipline he makes the Giants walk
crack. Yet McGraw is not un-
fair in his treatment of the play
ers, who are informed just before
the outset of each campaign just
what they can and can not do. Tn
like Charlie Webb Murphy's rule
regarding the Cubs total absti-
nence, McGraw believes that his
players should be allowed to drink
a few glasses Of beer after a game.
He doesn't place the ban on cigars,
but he's death on the cigarette
habit. If player fails to keep in
proper condition McGraw doesn't
believe that he should receive the
full amount Of his salary, and when
payday comes around the culprit is
almost sure to pay fine FOR his
behavior. In short. the Giants
leader insists on results and will
stand for nothing that may work to
the detriment Of his team.
MIKE O'NEILL, OF the Utica
w team, is one OF the greatest
characters in baseball. Steve
Evans tells many a story about
O'Neill.
It seems that the Canadians had
not been able to do much with the
opposing pitcher one day and after
dinner, while the players were sit
ting around the hotel plaza, Mike
came out and Joined one of the

reply.

One day while sitting on the
bench in Buffalo. Mike was looking
over the batting averages and for
long time he was quiet. but final
ly spoke up and said dryly, Isn't It
peculiar? I'm the only regular on
the team who is hitting for 300"
Just as O'Neil started up to the
plate in Newark one day, when
there were men on first and sec
ond and nobody out, Jimmy Casey.
