HAPPY OLD AGE AND YOUTH
- Decade OF Life Was Best Of ALL
Good World to Live In.

Each era of our lives has its pc
culiar compensations, the Philadelphia
Ledger declares. When a young man
is in college, or a lad at school, he is
often told by his elders that these are
the happiest years of his life. and that
he should make the best of their brief
duration. Old age will creep upon
him and life will impose an increasing
burden of responsibility, and he must
gather the roses while he may be-
fore the cruel frost of custom. as
Wordsworth called it, has nipped his
budding aspiration.
Mr.. Choate, while ambassador to
England. said he had discovered that
the eighth decade of life was the best
of all. If an old man does not let
himself relapse into egotistical gar
rulity his recollections of a useful past
may be a source of unfeigned pleas
ure to others as we'll as TO his own
retrospective mind. 1t was the salts
faction of a life well lived to which
Sir Walter Scott could bear testimony
to Lockhart, when the Wizard of the
North knew that the end was near.
Youth starts out on the long road
eager and hopeful, buoyant to try con-
illusions and refusing the thought of
failure. 1t is fine thing when a man
imports into maturity and even into
old age the "indomitable soul" that
will not surrender to the years and
has not been saddened by disillusion or
by the loss of faith in human nature.
1t is a good world to live in at four
score or at the rounded century-an
even better place than it was when
childhood accepted without question
ing an earthly paradise.

FIVE FUNDAMENTALS
OF THE CURRENCY BILL

Issue Of currency, guaranteed by
the government, based upon notes
and bills representing commercial
transactions and backed by a goIG
reserve. The new currency is ex-
pected to contract and expand to
meet the varied demands of trade.
Concentration of the bank re-
serves of the country in regional
Institutions capitalized by the
banks of the country and con-
troiled by directors elected by the
banks.
Creation of a market for the ne
gotiable commercial paper which
forms the bulk of the assets of tire
banks, where, in time of stress,
those assets may be easily and
without loss transformed into cash.
Establishment Of from eight to
twelve great reg onal banks
throughout the country, which will
issue currency, rediscount paper
and centraIize and mobilize the re-
serves Of the local banks.
Creation of a federal reserve
board of seven members appointed
by the president, with final powers
of control and supervision over the
entire system.

the deposits it has received, besides
the 40 per cent. gold reserve behind
the treasury notes it issues. If the
gold reserve behind the notes falls be.

the tax to the rate it charges member
