The Currency Law.

Under the new system. in or
dinaly times, the business of
banking will go on very much as
at present, Merchants and citi-
zens will see no difference. The
banks will continue to be indie
pendent business concerns, re-
ceiving deposits and lending mo-
ney as heretofore. But in eX-
ceptional times, as in 1907, a
great difference will be visible.
In the panic of 1907 the banks
would not even allow a depositor
to draw out his own money
much less would they make Gus
tomary loans on approved secur-
ity, even to their most reliable
customers. 1t was as if, in a
time when the fire alarms were
ringing to an unusual extent, the
fire companies should decide to
respond to no calls, but to keep
the men and apparatus solely for
the protection Of the engine hou-
ses. At the very time when the
banks have been most needed IN
the exercise of their functions,
they have ceased to function at
all, and have thus magnified and
intensified the business troubles
that with a better system they
could wholly have prevented.
Under one plan of having each
bank an independent affair the
first symptom of financial stress
led every banker to protect his
own reserves lest he might be-
come the victim of a run" He
lacked a higher financial power
upon which he might rely for
support in trying to help his bu-
siness neighbors. The new sys.
tenn promises something like a
complete remedy for such condi-
tions. The banks are t. be fed

Not a Military Rule.


Col. Cocktails appointment as
Governor of the Panama Canal
zone does not mean that the zone
is to have a purely military gov
ernment. He is an army officer,
but as Governor he must be con-
trolled by the provisions of the
Panama Canal act, which estab-
fishes a form of civil govern
ment very different from a regi-
me of martial law. It is true
that, in time of war, martial law
on the isthmus would be declared
and for that the canal act makes
definite provision, but there could
be no possible objection to Mill
tary rule under such conditions
in view OF the fact that the ca
nal will now be an important
strategic point in the country's
system of military defense. When
Congress refused to have the ca
nal neutralized and provided that
it should be fortified it was rec
ognized as military outpost o1
the United States and not as /;
purely commercial highway be
/ tween the oceans. In time O
