these men make no complaint at eX-
travagance, vet make bitter protest if
the wife asks for a small monthly al

Children reared under such condi-
lions have no horror of debt. They
have been taught that it is the only
way to obtain what they desire. Every
boy and girl ought to be given a small
weekly or monthly allowance, taught
how to spend it wisely, and made to
keep a strict account.
With such teaching should go a con-
tinual kindly, persistent education on
the nobility of independence, and the
dishonor of debt.
If children form such ideals before
they 90 out into the world, there is
small fear that they will ever form the
habit of debt afterward.- ght,

OF GOVERNMENT
SECRETARY MeAOoo MAKES HIS
REPORT ON NATIONAL
FINANCES.
He REVIEWS ACHIEVEMENTS
He Expects Enactment Of Currency
Legislation to Cure Many
Existing Ills.

Washington.-Sec Secretary McAdoo's
first report to congress is largely con-
fined to a review of the achievements
of the treasury department in matters
that have been of nationwide interest;
to recommendations for increased ap-
propriations for bureaus under his au-
thority, and for legislation, which he
declares necessary to the better con-
duct of the government and the pro
tectica Of the people.
The secretary discussed at some
length the subject of currency legls-
lation, reviewing the activities IN ms
department related to it.
MIR. McAdoo details the treasurys

money to move the fall crops. me

estimated to be needed, was apporuon-
ed among the states.
ut was essential" says the secre-
tarv. that the action of the depart
ment should be non-partisan and non
political; the crops of Republicans
Democrats and Progressives- and all
other classes of people had to be NOV
ed. and the earnest effort Of the de-
partment was to have the dement's OF
this action diffused as widely and i'm
partially as possible"
After praising the psychological
value of these incidents, the report
continues:
"They demonstrate clearly that any
Improvement in our financial system
which will permanently establish con-
fidence will in itself be an immense
gain, and if that improved financial
system assures the opportunity to Sc
cure at all times the necessary funds
and credits to meet the expanding and
legitimate needs of the commerce and
industry of the country, it will be an
achievement of enduring benefit
'These incidents also show conclu-
siyeIy the enormous value of an al
truistic government agency in the
financial affairs of the country So
long as the government has the pow
er to intervene lin a beneficent and un-
selfish way thed anger of panics and
of unjust practices will be largely, if
not wholly, destroyed. This is one of
the chief objects sought in the pro-
posed reformation and reorganization
of our banking and currency system.

Garrison Which Caused the Trouble
in zabern, Alsace, to Be Moved.
Donaueschingen, Germany.-Emper-
or William ordered the transfer of the
entire garrison at Zabern, Alsace, ow-
ing to the trouble between the SOL
diers and the citizens there. He also
directed that the court-martial pro-
ceedings in connection with the re-
cent rioting be accelerated.
The emperor's solution OF the diff
Guilty is regarded in many quarters
as a two-edged sword. While it re-
moves the danger of further conflicts,
the people and merchants of Zabern
will suffer a severe financial blow by
the removal of an important source
of revenue.
Later the emperor decided that the
Zabern garrison should go into camp
temporarily on the army maneuVer
grounds at Hagenau, but that the
troops might ultimately return to Ia
bern if its inhabitants displayed a
proper temper after the expected
transfer to another regiment of Lieut..
