ADMIRAL DEWEY in his recent book
has stirred up the Won Diederlich in
cident at Manila Bay again and there
is merry hades to pay. The German
admirals are not pleased with this
historical incident which showed their
attitude towards America at the time.
There is no doubt but what the mat
ter will be thoroughly gone over and
the world given the facts shorn of
any artificial covering. Some say
that Admiral Dewey knew that he
was handling dynamite and properly
fortified himself. Others are of the
opinion that the explosion will follow
and will be disastrous to himself.
Anyway, it is a diversion from the
Mexican fire works and is accepta-
BILE to the average reader of American
newspapers.

A Banker on the Currency Law.

Max May, a New York banker of
international reputation, who handles
very large part Of all the hundreds
of millions of dollars of this country's
foreign exchange, says the new cur
rency act will prove of untold benefit
to the people of the United States.
A statement from the vice-president
of one of the largest banks in Wall-st
that he expects great advantages to
accrue to the country at large. despite
a reduction in Wall ST. prestige, is
significant. 1t suggests that there is
much of mere bosh in the argume nt
that the concentration of vast capital
in New York had built up the largest
business corporations of the world
and that any attempt at decentraliza-
ton will injure this country's
financial and business pre-eminence.
One of the strongest men in Wall st.
fails to see any dire perils 70 the ma
tion in a loss of pre-eminence to
Wall st. banks
In making commercial assets here
after a basis for credit, instead of
limiting it rigidly to stocks and bonds,
the currency act. Mr.. May says, APP
proaches the most enlightened and
most elastic money systems of Europe.
He finds still further merit in the
system of binding individual banks
to regional bank, and in turn CO.
ordinating the regional banks in the
federal reserve system, so making a
huge national banking machine with
unquestioned solidarity, which can be
used to meet national purposes and
national emergencies. A discount
market will also be developed in this
country by the new currency law,
Mr.. May asserts, which will in time
be equal to any European system.
1t is refreshing to know that great
banking experts give such unqualified
approval to the currency law. 1t
gives faith in its efficacy and this
confidence will help solve the minor
difficulties that are sure to arise in
the application of the law. 1t is also
gratifying TO know that out of the
complexities of politics, of conflicting
interests and the inevitable tendency
TO compromise, there has been created
such an excellent statute.-Milwaukee

Fool Talk.

"Uncle joe Cannon is riproaring
and rampaging around the country in
vigorous but not vital vituperation of
the president, the administration, and
the Democratic party, in general.
Over in Peoria, the other day. he
vented himself of some of his vitroiic
virulencs which proved that he is
decidedly lacking in logic, even if he
is as violent as ever.
The aged standpatter among other
futile rambllngS, said: THE followers
of Lincoln and others are now kicking
at the Democratic policies. which
have been put into life to remove the
fat of American prosperity"
What fatuous folly, Even man
entering upon senility should scarcely
believe, much less give voice to such
an ubiquitous absurdity. Think of it.
One of the oldest spokesman of the
Republican party tells the people of
the country that the Democratic poll
cies were put into life TO remove the
fat of American prosperity" That
any national party is liable TO mis-
takes must be admitted, but that any
party would be so suicidal, not to say
reasonable. as to put policies into
effect to remove the "fat of American
prosperity" is too nonsensical TO need
discussion. The rest of the harangue
is ill keeping with this arrant foolish
ness.
Men of such exalted record as this
ex-czar of the house, should be more
careful in their public utterances, or
they will only bring derision and scorn
upon the party they represent.-Mil-

Smoke and SCOT.

SCOT. the principal trouble maker in
smoke, is the product of incomplete
combustion, and is formed partly by
the mechanical removal of ash by the
chimney draft and partly by the
decomposition Of the volatile portion of
the fuel which is formed by the proc
ess of destructive distillation. The
character of SCOT varies with the dis
lance from the CRATE 1T which it has
been deposited. as well as the tenn
perature Of the furnace. amount of air.
and method of firing. The acids con
tanned in SCOT attack mortar, masonry,
woodwork, metal work and building
material generally. In many European
cities it has been found that SCOT
causes the rapid disintegration Of stat
uary and public monuments. The dam
age done to inside decorations appears
to be no less important than the effects
upon the exterior of buildings. Smoke
is visible proof of imperfect combus-
ton of fuel, and consequently evidence
OF waste and ineftieiency.-New York

One who greets you on tie street
With smile?
Have you found a friend. impressed.
Giving all at loves behest
And who goes without request
One more mile?
Do you give that extra touch
Prove a favor not as such,
But a pleasure wished for much
And worth while?
Do you add sweet grace and charm,
Lend refusals soothing balm,
Go in spirit arm in arm,
One more mile?
'Tis the little acts, my friend.
Simple arts which ofttimes blend
Happiness with deeds and lend
Grace and style.

Such a charm, and vain is pride.
Love Will ever prompt and guide
