Main Defect Of Currency Bill.

There are 7.42s national banks in
the country. according to the last re-
port of the controller of the currency.
and over 1000 OF these are country
banks. that is, banks outside the re-
serve cities. These country banks
though they are mostly Of small cap
itali1ation. hold more than half the
country's national bank deposits. II
they should give up their national
charters. II they should refuse to do
business under the new law. what
would become of the Wilson-Bryan
plan of banking? Even If the banks
OF the cities should retain their ma.
tional charters the system would OF
necessity break down, in fact, 1t could
never be set up, but 1t is known that
the city banks also are of the opinion
that their national charters would be
surrendered. The bill invites state

AT first sight the finding of human skeleton
strangely like the human skeleton of the pres
ent day-some six or seven feet below the sur
face does not appear epoch-ma event, but
when the conditions under which it found
are carefully considered. it is just this striking
similarity to the living type that renders the
Halling man SO interesting and valuable. An
array of details has been unearthed which
the investigators that they have here the remains
OF an individual who long preceded the builders
OF stonehenge. man who dates back at least
to what is vaguely known the early neolithic
period but who more probably lived his strenu-
GUS life under the conditions obtaining
towards the end OF the paleohc age, warning
with the mammoth. the woolly rhinoceros and
other aggressive creatures of the pleistocene.
The famous skull discovered by Mr. Charles
Dawson in the Weald OF Sussex last year belongs
to the first chapter of the history Of the future:
the discovery made recently at Halng yields
materials for a much later chapter-the one giy-
ing an account of Englishmen towards the close
OF the plestocene period. Between the Sussex
and the Hallng lies an immensely
long stretch OF time-the time necessary for cary
ing out the greater part of that wide and deep
hollow between the North and South Downs. In
that time shed the last OF his anthropoid
features and assumed his modern form-for the
Halling man is one Of ourselves and the Sussex
individual most certainly is not The impor-
tance of the present discovery is that until now.
We knew very little Of our British predecessors
at the close of the pleistocene period.
The Midway has played part in carving out
IQe Neald or sussex; II has cut the "DOttle-neck'
gorge IN the North Downs at Rochester to reach
the valley Of the Thames. On Its western bank,
some four miles above Rochester, stands the
little village OF Halling-where the recent discov-
cry made. Between the village and the river
lies q stretch Of marshland nearly half a mile
in width. but the village is approached the
land rises sharply to form terrace Is feet above
the level OF the river The terrace extends along
both sides Of the valley; It is composed of strait
fed brick earths. In this terrace between the
marshland by the river and the village of Hall.ug
the skeleton exposed.
The discovery due to fortunate mis-
chance. During excavation Of some depth a
slip Of the frable earth occurred, revealing the
greater part OF skeleton lying in stu as shown
In the diagram. This landslip also disclosed a
fact OF great importance, namely that the strata
above were unbroken and level as when depoe-
fted in the course Of many thousands OF years
There can thus be no question 8 to the antiquity

WORSE THAN ERROR
President Wilson's Endorsement
of Un.American Measure.
Sundry Civil Bill. Which Gives irnmu.
nifty From Criminal Statute to Ger
tain Groups Of Citizens. Is
Vicious Legislation.

President Wilson has signed the
sundry civil bill, with the clause which
compelled President Tart to veto it,
and which gives to certain groups OF
citizens immunity from criminal
statute by forbidding the department
OF justice to use any part of the sum
granted it for enforcing that statute
in enforcing it against these groups.
All true and thoughtful friends Of
Woodrow Wilson must deplore his
sacrifice upon the altar of political ex-
pediency of a principle OF American
government to whose upholding Mr..
Wilson is peculiarly pledged by party
and personal profession-the principle
of the equality OF all citizens before
the law.
1t is true that Mr.. Wilson denies any
sacrifice OF principle. says that he
would gladly have vetoed that clause,
could he separate It from the rest Of
the bill. as placing limitation upon
the action OF the department OF JUS
tice "unjustiflable in character and
principle" and consoles himself with
this reflection:
Il do not understand that the limi-
ta.ion was intended as either an
amendment or an Interpretation Of the
antitrust law. but merely as an ex-
precision o; the opinion OF congress
not intended to touch anything
except the expenditure of single
small fund"
1t is to be regretted that President
Wilson does not better understand the
ways of "log-rolling" by which certain
appropriation bills are got through
congress. II he did he would not speak
OF this item as he does. he would
understand that 1t does not represent
the opinion" Of congress. but is mere
l. the result Of the ''log-rolling" activi-
ties Of certain members who needed
in their business" an exempting inter
pretation' of the antitrust act.
So we have the spectacle OF Demo
cratic congress committing itself to,
and a Democratic president sanction
ing. the driving Of wedge OF prece-
dent for the classification OF American
citizens and the exemption of some
from penal laws which all others must
obey.
1t Is a mournful spectacle, and espe
cially mournful with Woodrow Wilson
in the picture.

Ancient Types of Man" notes that in an average
modern man OF the Galley Hill skeletons stature
"one should expect brain OF 1850 to 1.475 cubic
centimeters (and) there are many men in England
today with smaller brains than the Galley Hill
man" These remarks will apply with still more
force to the Halling Regarding such primi-
tive types as the Neanderthal. Gibraltar and Pilt.
down skulls their antiquity must be measured
by many hundreds Of thousands Of years. IL we
are to understand that process Of evolution has
developed such high paleolithic types directly
from these progenitors.
