NOT THE TREASURY'S DUTY

Nc Concern of That Branch Of

Until now there has been little rea-

attitude toward the banking and bust
ness community In the emergency
which the European war has created

Adoo have too much of the dictatorial
and minatory note which he was In

BY directing public notice. as he has
done. to the proclivity of interior
banks to hoard reserves at this time
and restrict credit, the secretary OF
the treasury may help to relieve
money market strain. The manner In
which Mr.. McAdoo reported the dis
coyery OF excessive reserve accumula
ton in many parts OF the country was
not altogether fortunate, however, and
raised some doubts as to whether or
not he was taking altogether the view
he should OF banking conduct. These
doubts are strengthened by the no
tons which the secretary of the treas.
ury has expressed regarding current
interest rates on loans
There is all the difference in the
world between an unreasonable denial
OF credit and the grant of credit at
high interest when justified by the
necessity of discouraging expansive
borrowing. Mr.. McAdoo is likely to
do more harm than good by endeavor.

Roosevelt Helps Democratic Part,

There is no doubt that the Demo
Gratis have taken on renewed hope in
all of the states in which Roosevelt has
spoken. Both Republicans and Pro
gressives would have united in Ne
braska to take one final smash at
Bryan, but Roosevelt who is so much
opposed to bossism, ordered his fol
lowers not to make the combination.
In Springfield, H., Colonel Roosevelt
dined with Governor Dunno, much TO
the JOY of the Progressives. His large
audiences in Illinois have infused en-
thusiasm into his party. and thus in
creased the chances of Democratic
success

IS MERELY JUGGLING
RooSevelt's Attitude Not Likely to
Deceive Anyone.
That He is Seeking the Presidential
Nomination In 1916 Is So Patent
That His Disclaimer Is Sim
ply Absurd.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Maryland friends
are not convinced that his letter to a
Republican OF that state takes him out
OF the presidential equation. They ex-
pect him to be a candidate In 1916.
Their heads are very level
When Mr.. Roosevelt declared
promptly upon his triumph in 1904
'hat he would not stand again for the
presidency he was entirely sincere.
IL was n moment OF supreme satisfac-
ton to him. He was occupying the
highest office within the gift of the
people. and by a most impressive ma
1ority they had just endorsed his
course in il. He had four years more
IN which to impress his views on legis-
alton. So. recalling the third term
tradition, generally accepted as an in
nibiuon, he gave the country an as
Surance which moved il TO general and
sincere admiration.
Later. the tempter came. Out of
power. Mr. Roosevelt began to sigh
ior return TO power. He had tasted
Of 1t, and he liked 1t. He was still
young. and his appetite strong.
Some OF his friends who had not
Jared as they thought they should have
Jared under his successor played upon
Mr.. Roosevelt's weakness. They told
him that Republicanism under MIR.
TAFT had degenerated, and that only
he, Roosevelt, could restore II to its
former estate OF responsibility and
usefulness. AS this assurance jumped
with his ambition, Mr.. Roosevelt EN-
braced 1t and acted on it. Swearing
he would never run again, he ran
again.
He is eager Go make another race.
He and his most intimate friends are
preparing the way. Nothing could be
olainer. Broad daylight is not more 80.
For this reason Mr. Roosevelt
present juggling with the matter will
cause some regret even in his own
political household. II presents him
In disappointing aspect He is
STOPPING in an effort to conquer. In
1912 he appeared as a man who had
changed his mind. What he then did
he did boldly. He SHE'D his castor
into the ring. and called attention to
the headpiece and what it signified
Now he Is disclaiming what every.
body is convinced OF. Seeing that
Bull Moosery is disappearing. largely
under the charge that it represents
only his personal fortunes, he is de-
claring that, although he is wrapped
up In the cause. the cause is not
wrapped up in him. and that he may
not be the one chosen TO lead the Bull
Moose party two years hence
The country will not be deceived. II
mas taken the measure of both Mr..
Roosevelt and his aiders and abetters
FOR another term for him in the White
House, and 1t will read all his deliver.

edge and common sense.

REDMOND'S NOBLE SENTIMENT

John Redmond, the Irish leader.

expression to noble sentiments. He
declares that the Irish people appre-

has promised that a concession OF lib

ireland would be false to her history

PROTECTIVE BODY TO HELP FAMILIES

Gifts of Furniture will Be Aid to Establishing
 Household

Officials of the Bridgeport Protec- tive association are making an appeal for two destitute families who are at present at the association headquar- ters, 591 Myrtle avenue. The mothers desire to go to housekeeping with the three children which comprise the two families. They have a little furniture but need more and have no funds with which to provide for their neces- sities. Old carpets of any kind will be acceptable.
 They also need g kitchen stove. a bed and any other furniture. Arti- cles may be sent to the association home. Clothing for children of all ages is badly needed. At present the home is crowded beyond capacity and most of the inmates need clothing.
 The budget Of the association for last year was not enough to provide clothing, hence the officials must ap- peal to the public for it. Articles which anyone cares to donate may be left at the home.

If she remained af1oat and maintained her gait of 1-2 knots it was estimat- ed she would arrive off San Diego about midnight tonight.
 The United States cruiser Virginia, the destroyer Perry and the naval tug 1roquois, were standing by to aid the crippled vessel A tow was offered by the tug but was refused The 18th milan carries 8. million dollar cargo of fruits and wines and a crew of for ty.
 A few minutes after the steamer fouled 9. tip of San Benito Island. 300 miles south of here early yesterday, her wireless calls for help caused the Point Lorna station to silence all sta- ttons as far north as Sitka, Alaska. The demand was acknowledged by the naval station at Arlington, near Wash tngton- Honolulu also picked up the message. Late last night, when It was though the Isthmian was fast sinking, Rear Admiral Howard. of the Pacific fleet, ordered all wireless sta tlons on the coast to cease opera lions until the Virginia could learn the ships exact condition.
 The Isthmian was bound for New York
