Lowden bill was passed two years ago.
1t made provision for diplomats in ac-
cordance with an agitation that started
sixty years ago, when Abbott Lawrence
was Minister to the Court of St. James
and w: c. rRives Minister to Paris;
but for some unaccountable reason
never found favor with Congress until
recently. By the terms of the Lowden
bill the Secretary of State was au-
thorized to acquire, in foreign coun-
tries, such sites and buildings as might
be appropriated for by Congress for
the use of the diplomatic and consular
establishments of the United States.
But it was also provided that not more
than $4,000 should be expended for
such purpose in any one fiscal year,
and not more than $4,000 in any
place, unless by express authorization
of Congress.
Evidently not much progress has
been made along the proposed lines.
In some far-off Oriental places we pos
sess buildings for embassies or con-
sulates, but the nearer capitals, and
those where we should suppose the
most distinctive representation would
be desirable, we do not seem to have
made any headway in carrying out the
spirit or the letter Of the Lowden law

Our Dignity Abroad.

In an address before the National
Civic Federation. little over a year
ago. Secretary Knox said:
The erection OF buildings in foreign
capitals should be done by the Ameri-
can government, from American de-
signs. built and furnished with Ameri-
can material. and so far as possible
built by American workmen, so that
there would be indeliblv stamped upon
every foreign capital a typically Ameri-
can structure as a permanent express
sion of American nationalism.
But he added: The present appro-
priation available for the purchase of
embassies and legations is entirely in
adequate"
That the Secretary was thoroughly
alive TO the situation has now once
more been proven by the fact that the
United States Embassy at Paris has to
go house hunting because its landlord
can do better with the premises it oc-
cupies. This but adds another to the
humiliating experiences of which there
have been a number recorded. One of
the more recent was when Ambassador
Hill had TO change his headquarters in
Berlin. For a nation as pretentious as
ours to be a tenant in every capital to
which it sends representatives is not
calculated 10 maintain its dignity at the
courts of other nations.
Happily in the carrying out of re-
cent legislation all this is likely to be
changed-some day-but il does not
appear to be providing prompt relief
for an incongruous situation. The

Hatpins in Massachusetts.

a committee of the Massachusetts,
Legislature recently recommended the
adoption of law making it misde-
meanor for women to permit the point
ed ends of hatpins to protrude more
than half inch from the sides of their
hats. unless the ends are covered with
some device rendering them, harmless.
The Legislature, to use a slang
phrase, certainly had their nerve with
them" in presuIning TO tell Dame
Fashion what she must do. But those
of them who had riddenin the crowd

of all varieties and lengths, are ready
TO catch the unwary eye whichever way
it turns, had already subjected their
nerve TO Spartan-like test, in under
going that ordeal, and were doubtless
brave enough to face anything, even
the disapproval of the ladies.
AT any rate, the law is a good one
Already similar laws are in force in
many European cities. where they are
quite popular-popular with the men
for obvious reasons, and even with the
ladies because they have brought into
use such cute and pretty point guards.
Perhaps the law proposed for Massa-
chusetts will prove equally popular
there. 1t certainly will be popular
one with the men, and until woman
suffrage comes in, it is safe to predict
the reelection of those legislators who
are sponsors for the bill. Perhaps
such a law. or ordinance in this city
might be popular one. but as to that,
we prefer to express no opinion.

In the Interest of Sound Banking.

What the Pujo committee is dealing
with is a system hostile to true bank
ing principles as well as to the public
good. Some OF its recommendations
in the shape of new bills when made
public no doubt will be found to be
Objectionable in certain quarters, but
the object sought is good. This cannot
be gainsaid The evils pointed out are
real evils, and the reforms aimed at
are sound and desirable There should
be no control OF any bank in this coun-
try. except that which is rightfully and
legally excrted by its stockholders.
through their bona fde chosen board
of directors.
OF course, there still remain the old
differences of opinion as to whether
the Pujo committee has really proved
the existence of Money Trust Hasn't
it shown that there is something very
like it? That is not the question The
important thing to the public is tho
legislation that is proposed 1t is ad-
1nitted universally that there arc evils
to be remedied and that the present
system should be improved The plan
is TO place the control of property into
the hands of men who own it, and 10
crush sthc power Of those men over
property which they do not own. Clear
ing houses are to be freed from outside
dictation and placed under the direct
management OF their own directors
And. above all, each bank is to be
managed as an independent institution
by its directors. who shall not be
dummies"
All this would involve certain amend
ments to the national banking law. In
the first place no bank should have
more than fifteen directors. At pres
ent number OF the large institutions
have as many as forty Such unwieldly
boards cannot but tend to having the
management drift into an Inner cir
Gle" often composed of men who have
interests at heart quite different from
those of the bank whose fundS-othcr
peoples property-they are supposed to
guard, We have been told that dummy
directors have been placed on boards
for the sole purpose of giving banks
control TO outside influences.
These smaller boards will be an i'm
provement, because provision is being
made for minority representation
The directors of one bank shall not be
allowed to sit on the boards of rival
concerns, which is a sad blow to the
vicious practice OF interlocking direc-
torates. No man is to be allowed to
become director in any bank until he
has under oath declared that he is the
bona fde holder OF stock that is his
own. National bank directors shall not
participate in underwriting Syndicates
This is very important, as it will keep
banks out of trouble and from the
speculation field
All this is in the interest of sound
banking, and will do away with specu-
lating with other peoples money.

The "Exclusionists" in France.

Just now, when bill to regulate
the admission of aliens into this coun-
| try is before the President for ap-
proval, France also is discussing the
same problem. In fact. there is a very
sharp division among the political
| parties there as to what should be
| adopted as the national policy.
AS We understand the situation,
there are total exclusionists and reg
ulatorS over there, but none at all who
would give full admission to foreign
ers. The first named seem to be over
whelmingly in the majority, which
cannot be said to be good policy for
any country. especially for republic
where 'egalitc" is supposed to be the
handspring OF all political faith, not
to mention reasons of states economy
Besides, we read so much about the
falling off in the number of inhabi-
tants, of race suicide prevalent to an
alarming extent, why the excluSionists
should be uppermost is not easy to
comprehend.
In the last sixty years. according TO
the noted economist, Leroy Bcaulieu.
the number OF foreign residents in
France has risen from 10000 to al
most I.25oooo We should not think
that this figure ought to be looked
upon as alarmingly large or formid-
able cnough-at least. not according to
American Standards-to jeopardize the
preservation of national characteris-
tics: still it does alarm the statistician
named to such an extent that he uses
the identical argument that should be
used i'll favor of immigration For he
says: The birth rate, which is fall
