OF COURSE THEY LIKE 1T.

1t is stated that the bankers Of the
amount of additional currency from the
Secretary Of the Treasury, which is 10
be not less than s50,000,000, and it
may be, S150,000,000, or more, are
pleased with Secretary McAdoo's deter
mination to let them have this money.
There can scarcely be a doubt OF the
genuineness Of the pleasure felt by
these bankers at getting this immense
amount Of money for use, that use being
practically a free gift. There is no
reason why they should not be delight
ed with it. There is no reason, either,
why they should return that money to
the Treasury after "the moving Of the
crops or at any other time There is
no reason why they should not, after
the crops have been moved, take that
money and deposit it in New York or
any other place where they can get re
turns upon it that will pay them for
Withholding the money.
As the programme now is, the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury will issue these
enormous amounts OF money TO the
banks Of the West and South. They
will, therefore, not find it necessary to
call in their money which is in East.
ern banks and on which they are get
ting satisfactory rates Of interest. They
will leave that money where II is, and
take the money that the Secretary of
the Treasury provides and use that
money instead of recalling their own
money from the East, as they usually
do at this season for the purpose of
"moving the crops The distribution
has begun, but though Utah is in one
of the favored sections, Utah gets none

The Secretary did not have the fore.
thought to require the banks to get on
the stable basis OF recalling their
money from the East and using it in
the ''moving Of the crops in place Of
leaving it TO draw interest in New
York. II he had done this, and then

agreed To furnish such additional money
as might be lacking for the "moving of
the crops, there would have been more
justification for his act. But to cold
l. produce an immense amount of
money and to turn it over to the banks
in the sections indicated for their use,
while they leave their own money on
tivity that must be condemned on all
scientific and financial grounds. For
this sort Of thing unquestiouably would
induce the banks TO depend upon the
Treasury for ready money at any time
thew might find themselves short OF
cash. They are thus made depcndon-
cies of the Treasury in the place OF in
dependent banks. They will not take
the pains that they otherwise would do
to gather in their money for any known
purpose, but will depend upon the
Treasury to supply them money at need
and at call. 1t is vicious, dangerous
precedent. but il is not very much
worse than the proposition the cIamor-

The Houston Post puts it this way:
" We should like very much for some Of
the excited journals Of New York TO
answer this question: Is Thaw wanted

quilted. TO safeguard the people of the
State against "a dangerous Iunatic, or to
afford the opportunity for horde Of
grafters to prey upon the fortune of an

arc asking that same question. The

government over to the Governor and
his cabinet. So far as known, while
Governor Hunt would abolish The
legislative branch of the government,
he has not proposed also TO abolish
the judicial arm and TO put into the
hands of the Governor all OF the
States functions, judicial, legislative,
and executive; and yet il would be
more appropriate TO combine the Ju~
dicial and executive functions in the
general activity OF administration than
to take on tho legislative branch OF
the government; for the Legislature
speaks for the people and speaks di'
rectly RS the representative of the
people, chosen to make laws for them
and in their interest. A government
without legislative branch and cou-
fined TO the executive branch would
speedily degenerate into despotism
Then there is the proposition OF
Governor Hodges OF Kansas, who
recommends the commission form OF

sion form Of government has not un'
dertaken to absorb the judicial func-
tions, but there would appear to be
no reason why the commission should
not take over the judicial part of the
government as well as the legislative
part.

ANNIE J.. DECKER
Returns to Bingham, Thursday,
Oct. 18th, at Mrs. J. A. Bakers

Since Mrs. Decker first came to
Somerset County fouI years ago, she
has attained great success in the
treatment of all chronic diseases, hav-
ing for her first case one who had
been given up to die of tuberculosis
of the lungs. The doctors said he
wouldn't live three months. He was
confined to his room and weighed
90 lbs. He coughed and raised two
or three cups of sputum per day
which was sometimes streaked with
blood. This lady went there and
through the advent of Higher pow
er she has saved his life. Go and
tell him that you have heard of Mrs
Decker and he will gladly tell you
all she has done for him. You will
find him working hard every day in
Norridgewock. His name is Forrest T.
Rowe. Since that time Mrs. Decker
has made hundreds of just such re-
markable cures.

At the recent International Congress
of Applied Chemistry in London one
of the most celebrated lecturers. Gia.
como Ciamician, predicted that women
of the future will not be contented
with dress which remains constantly
of one color, but will demand coloFs
that change in harmony with their sur
roundings.
Thus the color of the apparel may
be changed without changing the
dress. Passing from darkness to light
the color would brighten, thus con.
forming automatically to the environ.
ment-the last word in fashion for the
future.
This prediction will come true as
soon as chemists learn to understand
better what are called "phototropiC

1t is very important not to let weeds
