The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1913-11-21
That S5O,OOO,OOO of Government
Money

When the announcement was made
from Washington during midsummer
that the Treasury department would
place with certain banks thruout the
agricultural sections of the country
$50, 100000 for the specific purpose
of aiding in the movement Of crops the
large banking houses of the east did
not relish that announcement because
they considered that an invasion Of the
exclusive rights Of bankers, and they
rightly saw in this movement the en-
tering wedge of further government
activity in money matters. Certain
bankers have harbored the vain delu-
sion that within the charmed circle Of
banking is lodged all there is to know
about the functions Of money and re-
sent the intrusion OF even the govern
ment into the affairs of money and
banking. They regard the fixing of
the volume, the intrinsic and extrinsic
value, the basic value, the issuing Of
money, and, indeed, about everything
connected With money. as the sole
and peculiar province Of bankers.
Wherefore the announcement OF the
government to place certain sum OF
money, for a certain purpose, with GER
tain banks, without first having con-
suited the bankers about the wisdom
of such a departure from past customs,
gave them something akin to an cleo
tic shock.
Up to the present time only some
s3s, 100000 of the s5o,O0O,ooo au-
thorized to be issued has been called
for, yet, so helpful has this been to
the agricultural sections, and so appa-
rent the wisdom Of the governments
action, that not even the bankers have
entered denial.
In opposition to very generally
held opinion we have for many years
believed that everything connected
with money and all its mul,ifarious
uses should, and of right ought to be
the sole and exclusive province OF the
government. We further believe that
the act Of the present democratic ad-
miuistration above referred to, will
make more democratic votes than any
other single act OF which the party
can boast.

ed Tuesday afternoon that he would
swear out a warrant for Lumb's ar
rest on the charge of murder and
have him brought back to Atlanta
for prosecution.
"Lumb and Mrs. Crawford planned
this whole thing in Florida" said
James. They planned to turn the
estate into cash and get away. Lumb
visited Mrs Crawford in Atlanta be-
fore her husband died. He was here
when he died, and remained in the
city until two months after the flu

pair plotted to murder the old man,

by marrying this woman" is a re-
mark made in reference to Mrs.
Crawford by Joshua B. Craw-
ford before their marriage, accoding
to the testimony Of Mrs. L. c. Dill

Mrs. Dillingsly was one of the wit

that he was not in his right mind
when the ceremony was performed.
BY another witness It was sought
to prove that Crawford at this time
was almost constantly intoxicated.
and to set up the probability that he
was in this condition when he entered
into marriage.
Mrs. DilHngsly lived at the Craw-
ford residence on West Peachtree
street before Joshua Crawford 5
death. She recited a number of con-
versations she said she had with him,
and asserted that Mrs. Crawford at
