We have at hand an elaborate German
review of the bill by DR. Richard
Hauser Of the Deutsche bank O. BeF-
lin. Of which We are glad TO give the
substance.
DR.. Hauser calls attention 10 the fact
that the American undertaking is one
of the greatest that has ever been at
tempted in the realm of banking The
English reform Of Sir Robert Peel in
1874 was limited 10 the question OF
the currency: and the German reform
of 1875 sought only an extension of
the business of the Prussian bank over
the whole country. In no instance has
such an aggregation OF capital had
open 10 il such new forms Of OppOr-
tunity: in none have such radical
changes been made in the organization
and practice of many thousands of
credit banks as in this American legis-
lation. The wide-reaching financial
scope given 10 the new reserve banks
cannot fail at once to exercise Indirect
ly a great influence on the business
world
From all this il will appear that our
new American legislation. though il is
mainly concerned with the situation at
home, is recognized as being Of the
widest international Importance. But
while il is looked upon as revolution
airy here. and will need TO be watched
and guarded with continual care, and
will doubtless be subjected TO more or
less important change. as experience
proves the need. its influence abroad
will be felt gradually and that along
lines of a more natural evolution.
Whatever. therefore, its immediate eff

that the business OF the Cadillac COM
pany itself is exceedingly prosperous.
The motive behind Mr.. Leland's
dastardly attack upon the business OF
the United states is partly selfish and
partly political The company Of
which he is the president is mem
Der of a criminal trust, organized and
operated IN violation of the anti-trusE
law, and il was this same Mr.. Leland
who in 1912 with other manufactur-
ers published page advertisements for
the purpose Of frightening working
men into voting for Taft. Mr.. Leland
knows that under the administration
of Pres. Wilson his trust cannot sur
vive and that in order TO perpetuat-
il the democratic party must be de-
feated at the next presidential cleo
ton
What depression and business un-
easiness exists in the United States il
due TO the methods employed by Mr..
Leland and similar methods employed
by others TO create distrust and de-
stroy confidence. There is no real
business depression in this country
that may not be directly attributed to
these artificial causes.

in allegiance pending the adjustment
of a much graver and important ques-
tion which arose on one of the Wash
ington golf courses when Pres. VIII
sons ball grazed the ear Of the man
ahead
IL is possible the incident would
have passed without further attention
than the person struck looking around
IN surprise and rubbing his ear and
the president saying. Gosh, l almost

preached 20 tender his apology and his
sudden cnange of temperature when
ne discovered at whom he was adj
dressing his remarks. Following that,
however. both men ordered their cad
dies 10 the clubhouse and quit the
grounds.
Though the man grazed by the pres
ident's ball indited a note of apology
10 the president for INDUCING in the
language ne used. which is tantamount
10 saluting the presidents flag. appre-
hension is felt that the affair Will not
end there and that il may be neces-
sary TO resort TO mediation 10 restore
the status quo. Experts in golfins
unite in the opinion that the merits
OF the case rest upon two points: bio
the president delay driving his bal;
until the players ahead of him had
played their second strokes and did
ne before making his stroke. utter in
a loud clear and penetrating tone the
word fore?
on these two contingencies hang ali
the Justification the president could
possibly have had for grazing the
gentieman's ear. If he neglected to
comply With these requirements the

justified in GUESSING him all over the

dent of the United States surrenders

diuons be preserved.

THE PRESIDENTS POWER.

Sen. Cummins says the president
has Obliterated congress. OF course,
the senator. when he makes that as
sertion, must be regarded as po-
litical opponent Of the president, and
due allowance should be made for the
fact that he will not so out OF his way
TO support the administration in any
thing. but making allowance for the
eXaggera ton, what is the reason for
the undoubted fact that the president
is powerful?
one perfectly evident reason is that
the president is the leader of a dOmi-
nant political party. If that party is
10 accomplish anything il must follow
a leader. and the majority is Loyalty
following the president on all party
measures. What is interpreted as the
power OF the president. therefore. has
behind IL the power of an organized
and disciplined party The dominance
OF the presidents views is none the
less calling TO republicans and pro-
gressives because its strength is really
party strength. but IL is very differ
ent thing from personal domination.
II IL also a much whOlesOmer thing.
because in the long run the president
cannot command the strength Of the
party without the assent OF the voters
who make up TIE party.

was urging "A course contrary 10 the

ETLETLLING PLEDGES

The standpat leaders in and out of
congress are not proving themselves
very good prophets in their forecasts
of failure of the legislative program
Of the administration. 1t was more
than a year ago that Pres. Wilson an
nounced that he would ask congress
10 enact certain reforms promised to
the people in the Baltimore platform.
At every step he has been met with
challenges from the opposition, but in
spite of republican boasts he has put
through legislation in fulhllment of
all the important pledges but one. and
that one the standpatters now init
mate they Will prevent.
1t is the last prophecy left TO them.
and we believe II Will fail Ike all the
others The republicans said Mr..
Wilson could not secure the kind or
a tariff measure ne favored. After
he got il they said congress would
never stand for his currency bill.
When that went through they ridi-
culed the idea that the president
could induce congress to repeal the
tolls exemption clause in the Panama
canal act and only a few DAYS ago he
affixed his signature TO the repeal
bill after it had passed both houses.
Now they declare the anI-uust
measures cannot be passed before ad-
journment, but they are 20 be taken
up in the senate today. and If the OPP
position undertakes 10 talk them to
death il is likely that it will only sue
coed in delaying the date Of ADJOURN
ment. without accomplishing its pur-
pose. There is every reason 10 be-
lieve that the president will witness
the complete fulhllment OF the con-
structive program which he outlined
10 congress in his several messages,
completing a record OF achievement

a COMBINATION AGAINST
WILSON


Half way between presidential cam
paigns the republican party is with
out candidate or an issue, and the
progressives have a candidate and an
issue, but no party. There is an old
tale of a man who could not walk, who
climbed upon the shoulders of a man
who could not see, and one furnishing
the motive power, and the other the
power Of direction. the two cripples
reached their destination. Naturally,
some of the republicans and progress
sives are now hoping to mount the far
seeing Roosevelt upon the shoulders of
the blind republican party, and so
beat Mr.. Wilson in the next race.
We don't believe the combination
will prove as successful as the COM
binatiOn of the lame man and the blind
in the fable. 1t is easy enough for
politicians to frame a terrible indict-
ment against the democratic admins
tratiOn today, but will it look like a
true bill two years hCnce? The new
tariff has not flooded the country with
foreign goods, and when the railroads
get the freight advance they ask for,
or begin to feel the stimulus of the
huge crops, they will buy freely, and
the very moderate dizziness of the pres
ent moment Will be forgotten.
Two years hence the country will
have had two years experience with

our Colombian relations, and the very
large part Of the American people who
do not approve of Mr.. RoOsevelt's
Panama conduct will feel that an un-
pleasant spot has been erased from the
nations fame. The present indications
are that in 1916 Mexico will be peace
full and prosperous, the poems having
access to the land, and the general
government representing public
opinion instead of a combination of
military despotism and financial mo-
nopoly. The great trusts in our own
country will have been disintegrated,
with the result of increasing the pros
perity of their component parts. and
Of the country at large. and of open
ing the gates to widespread and

Early Ginning Indicates Greatest Yield
in COuntry's History.

Washington, Dec. Election ginning
up to the period ending December IL
made a new record, exceeding that es-
tablished in 1911, the year of previous
record cotton production, by more than
2O6, 900 bales.
That was indicated today in the CEN
sus bureaus report showing 13,977,1S9
bales had been ginned prior to Decem-
Der 10. In the last two years approx
mately 80 per cent Of the entire crop
had been ginned prior to December IL.
Calculating this years crop on that
basis it would exceed 16,270,00O bales
The department of agriculture in its
preliminary estimate of the crop placed
it at Is 966 900 bales. Last year the de-
partment's preliminary estimate was
1857 900 bales, while the final produc-
ton was 14,156,000 five hundred pound
bales.
Oklahoma to December Is, had ginned
1c6S 1913 bales, more than produced
there in any year heretofore. In Ala
bama, Florida. Georgia and Texas gin
nings to December Is were greater than
last years. entire productions there.
Ginning during the period amounted
to 9OO,9S2 bales-more than ginned in
the same period in any year except
