WHEN BANKERS DISAGREE.

No new legislation is ever proposed
without evoking innumerable cock
sure statements as to how it will
work, but every modest layman in
politics should ever bear in mind
that. as to almost any really new leg
islation, nobody can tell how It
actually will work remarks the Sat
urday Evening Post
The banking bill aptly illustrates
this general rule. That bill proposes
certain specific changes in bank re-
serves. You might innocently imag-
inc that any experienced banker,
with the provisions of the bill before
him and a report of the controller of
the currency at hand, could easily
figure out what the banking position
would be If the bill became law: but
the melancholy fact is that expert
enced bankers arrive at diametrical-
ly opposite results. Some of them
contend that the bill will cause a con-
traction OF credits; others contend
that 1t will cause an imitation.
Now in this problem there are nc
Vague factors of morals and of de-
batable human motives, such as enter
into SO many other legislative prob
lens. 1t is all hard, concrete affair
of dollars and cents; yet the doctors
are as far apart as though the work
ing of the law depended upon a pre-
dominance of altruism over selfish.

IF CICERO HAD PLAYED GOLF.

From the triumphs of youth wa
turn to the consultations of old age.
The twenty year old victor of the ma
tional open golf championship gives
place in the days news to the veter-
ans OF fifty-five and older who have
been competing at Apawamis.
There is a peculiar fitness in the
juxtaposition of these two events. for
they epitomize the whole story OF
Igoif and of its destinations. Francis
Ouimet said the other day that it is
mistake to regard golf as an old man IS

would never have been written and
the modern schoolboy would have
been spared many laborious hours,
for the links would have claimed the
leisure that he devoted to that digni-
fed treatise. But had he in the
evenings found time to philosophize
concerning old age, the resulting
pages, we may be sure, would have
read very differently. We should
have been sagely directed not to
strive for distance unattainable by
those in whose limbs the sap of life
no longer runs fresh and vigorous
but to pit our wisdom and experience
against the lustier sinews of youth
we should have been warned that b,
