The Real Situation

1t is regarded here as certain that the
common agreement as to what constitute
the basic principles upon which an ade-
quate banking and currency system can
be established will make it all the easier
fol Congress at last to perfect a bill
which will be accepted as on the whole
satisfactory. All that remains to be done
apparently. in the opinion of such bankers
as President Vanderlp. President Cannon
and President Dawson, is so to perfect de-
tails as to make the system sympathetic
with the principles upon whose correct
ness everyone seems to acknowledge
agreement.
In this simplification of the situation
there are to be discovered the fine fruits
of the agitation which began seven years
ago Immediately following the currency
panic of 1907 The report of the national
monetary commission, or at least its rec
concentrations, may be set aside but the
work done by that commission has been
fruitful and to its labors no small part
of that public opinion which is now urg-
ing banking and currency reform Is TO
be traced

reney measure. They are in fact. the
very principles which were so strongly
indorsed by the great body which repre-
sented the bankers of the United States
at the annual convention recently held in
Boston.
No Real Disagreement
Therefore, it occurs to those in this city
who have been carefully following the
hearings at Washington and the express
sions of banking sentiment at Boston that
there is no substantial disagreement re-
specting the basic principles upon which
banking and currency system should be
placed. For instance, President Dawson
stated, first, that the country stands in
need of a system which will give elias
. tie currency capable of re-
spending to the various needs of busi-
LESS az different seasons of the year.
and capable of instantly and almost au-
tomatically checking any tendency to-
ward imitation. In the next place, Presi-
dent Dawson sets forth as a basic prin-
ciple that the banks be associated into
true national system, thereby ending
the present system, which represents scat
tered units. This new system, however,
while 1t may perfect cooperation to the
extent of sustaining commercial and pub
lie credit, should be fortified against po-
litical domination one hand the
control of concentrated wealth on the
other.
In the third place President Dawson re-
CARDS unification and mobilization of bank
preserves so that they can be concen-
trated and made instantly available wher-
ever needed as basic principle of an ade-
quate American banking and currency
system. These are all, and it is regarded
here as no wonder that the chairman of
the Senate committee. Senator Owen
frankly said that President Dawson's
statement is the most succinct explana-
tion of the situation that the committee
had yet heard.

CURRENCY BILL ON WHICH
ALL CAN AGREE, PROBABLEI

cause it cannot be said justly of the insti-
tuition of which Mr. Cannon is president
that it has any community of interest, of
an intimate character at least, with other
great banks. The institution is distn-
guished for it's independence. 1t stands
alone, unit so far as its banking opera
tions are concerned.
Mr. Cannon. as Mr.. Vanderlip has al
ready done, spoke in terms of approval of
many features of the pending banking and
currency bill. The intimation was clear
that he looked with admiration upon the
results of the momentous and difficult la
bors performed by those in Congress who
have had or now have this measure under
consideration. Furthermore, there was
not the slightest hint that in hiskmind
there turks suspicion that the measure
is aimed at Wall street or that it is any
thing else than it purports to be-a sincere
and very earnest attempt on the part Of
Congress and the administration at
Washington to perfect an adequate bank
ing and currency system
The Foundation of 1t
Upon this foundation of good faith and
sincerity in his view the measure has
been built 1t is only necessary therefore
to correct certain defects In order to make
the measure highly satisfactory These
defects, Mr. Cannon courteously pointed
out, and they are found to be on the
whole the very defects which so many
of the business men of the country and
so large proportion of the bankers Of
the country are convinced must be re-
moved If the bill is to be all that those
who drafted it have earnestly desired 1t
to be.
Mr.. Cahnon's view in some measure
represented the eastern section of the
country 1t supplemented views presented
earlier in the day by the presidnt of an
important bank of Davenport, Ia, A. L.
Dawson, who was formerly member OF
Congress. Both of these bankers appear
to have impressed the members of the
banking and currency committee most
favorably. Mr.. Dawson formulated into
two or three paragraphs what he re-
garded the fundamental principles
upon which an adequate banking and cur
rency measure should be built But these
principles are on the whole the very ones
which the committee of the Senate and
the House have had in mind since they
undertook to draft a banking and cur

Old Ways Revived.

Mrs. Charles Stephens of Cincinnati in
welcome home party to Mrs. Addy, a
traveller abroad. entertained a large party
at luncheon last week, when the host
and her assistants wore the dress of
1872 and matched her party to the GUS

silver. An exchange in describing the
affair said:
In the center of the table was a huge
white mountain cake placed upon an
old-fashiOned glass cake stand and about
it were an array Of pies-apple, lemon
and mince-an assortment of preserves
and sweet pickles. These We're all yelled
in blue mosquito netting. in initiate of
the day: and also in keeping with tradi-
ton If contrary to the fact, the maids
dressed in the costume of the period
waved huge fly brushes of deep blue above
the heads Of the guests. which, If these
active servitOrs had been black instead of
white. would have been the last touch of
realism.
THE luncheon was all served at once
after the manner of the forefathers of the
republic. with great barons of beef, whole
hams and chickens, and biscuits as big as
artichOkes, crullers, marble cake and the
like. vying in interest with the pewter
coffee service. the enormous soup spoons,
quite 100 years DID, the knives of steel
and the three-pronged forks of steel which
were once used in those good old days
