the girl would not let him go without
asking his address that she might re-
turn his loan. She asked him for it.,
and he said that 1t would be more con-
venient for him to give it to her in the
train, so the two went on. He handed
her on to the car, took a seat beside
her and, producing a card bearing his
name, Nathaniel Meriweather, wrote
his address on it and handed it to her
"Why, you live in Hampton! she
exclaimed.

NOTED HOTEL To RECEIVE
BUCKEYE BOYS

The management of the Bellevue
Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia has an
nounced its intention to tear out parti-
ton between two Of its large dining
rooms so as to be able to seat the entire
Buckeye Boys Corn Special Party at one
sitting. This will give the Bellevue
Stratiord the distinction of being the
only hotel on the trip abls to accommodate
the entire party at one sitting. The
Bellevue-Stratford is under the same
ownership and management as the
Waldorf-Astoria of New York City and
is considered one of the largest and best
hotels in America.

WHEN THE COURT NULLIFIED
THE CONSTITUTION
THE Public.

The debate in the Senate on the Sea-
mems Bill directed attention to strange
decision once solemnly rendered by the
Federal Supreme Court with only one
dissenting voice-that of the late Justice
Harlan. The Court decided that the
Constitutional prohibition of involuntary
servitude did not apply to sailors. The
reason? Because at the time the Thir-
teenth Amendment was adopted, it was a
custom long standing for seamen to
sign contracts bargaining away their lib
erty. Just why the court could not for a
like reason have held that chattel slavery
was not abolished, does not appear.
The prohibition of involuntary servitude
is as clearly worded as it is possible to
express anything in theEnglish language.
But the Court nullifed this Constitution
al provision. There surely was great
need of the Recall when that decision
was handed down. There is still need
of the Recall to prevent more decisions

THE LATEST BOURBON
NIGHTMARE
[The Public. J


"A step toward fiat money" is the
objection to the Glass-Owen bill raised
by F. A. Vanderlip of the National City
Bank of New York City. Possibly that
was the real objection to the bill harbored
by privileged interests since its introduc-
ton. It illustrates the bourbonish ma
ture of all privileged interests, which
will not tolerate the slightest move to-
ward remedying of intolerable conditions
because they see or fear that in the end
it will result in destruction of all preda-
tory privilege. Protected interests had
nightmares of Free Trade" when Pres
ident Taft announced his pitifully weak
reciprocity treaty. Land monopolists in
England see private ownership of land
abolished in Lloyd Georges absurdly
low land value tax proposals. Their
brother monopolists in this country have
similar visions in the proposals to cut in
half taxation of buildings, in the grant
ing to municipalities of home rule in tax
alton, in such moderate measures as
have been submitted III Missouri and
Oregon and in similar declarations for
rational tax reform appearing with in
creasing frequency in Progressive party
platforms Franchise corporations
raise the cry of socialism," when any
effort is made to curb their predatory
power. So their is nothing surprising
in this cry of fiat money" Every
such cry is in fact an admission that the
proposed reform will have satisfactory
results and thus lead to further extern
sion.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1913-11-14

It is not probable that Mr. Vanderlip
objects to all fiat money He does not
favor abolition of the currency issuing
power now held by the national banks.
Yet these national bank notes are in fact
fiat money. There is nothing back OF
them but the credit of the federal gov
ernment. But since these national
banks control their issue, Mr.. Wander
lip and the interests he represents see
nothing Objectionable in them. There
is no reason why these notes would not
be just as good if issued directly by the
government without previous deposit of
bonds by private corporations. If fiat
money is a bad thing, then national
banks should not issue any. If it is a
good thing, then a step toward it is to be
welcomed. In either case the power to
issue it should be lodged nowhere but in
