SCHIFF DEFENDS
HIS RESERVE PLAN
Says, as BanknOteS Are So
Used, Method Should
Be LOCALIZED.

Jacob % Schif. VINO returned go his
offices yesterday after brief absence
,n Maine. gave out statement explain
U- and defending the position he TOOK
relative 20 the payment ln gold OF
American obligations due mo Europe.
The statement. issued because Of mis-
Interpretation of his remarks al a
meeting of the Chamber OF Commerce.
fs mn par, as follows:
"fIr,t. Mn. Schif advocated that such
Of our debt. lr Europe as are not COW
cred by the provisions Of the existing
uorato~ia. and in particular the ma
turing obligations of municipalities
like tine City Of New York. or Of rail
Ioac and other corpora ions held by
,rc public n Europe. should be paid
un0ucSuorably and uuhesltatinglv
when due. and that 10 the extent that
the means for making such payments
abroad cannot he obtained through OK
change transactions they mus; be pro-
v-dod through the export of gold. even
q this involves some strain upon our
selves.
"Nr Schf is convinced that his
course is mperatiycly called for both
ay good business policy and by con-
Iteration tOE our merchants and those
markets for our securities among Eu-
roDeau investors which are essential
for l- Iog some .Ime 20 come. as they
have been l The past. and which any
attempt 20 eyadc or delay the payment
of our debts In Europe in the present
emergency would seriously Jeopardlze,
n uot entirely forfeit.
Secondly. he proposed that mas.
mach as the necessary gold was not
ohtafra1le elsewhere. the banks should
z..e T. .D which. in view OF the forth
coming movement Of our fooostuffs,
etc.. -o Europe. would he not AT all
likely 20 involve any serious drain.
and 20 the extent needed should inc
fringe uno1 their legal reserve. and
that .o keep such reserve up 90 The
prescribed legal limit. uominslly. the
banks Mould be permitted. As an
emergency measure 20 keep moder-
ate portion OF their reserves IN bank

Wilson's Mexican Policy.

Below is one of the greatest tri-
butes to man we have ever read. 1t
is from the pen Of William Allen
White, the great Republican editor of
Kansas. 1t deals with President Will
son and his Mexican policy, this way:
How we'll he seems to have man.
aged it-this whole sordid business
OF going to war; how fair he has
been; how infinitely gentle and kind.
No buster, no threats, no smoker of
anticipated, no licking of the nation's
chop's-iust a simple-souled, brave,
soft hearted, hard-headed man. 1t is
sad enough to 60 into war Of any
kind at any time; but it is less sad to
go knowing that every honorable
means has been taken to keep away
from war. And this consolation Pres
ident Wilson has given us by his
wise, forbearing Christian attitude at
titude before the provocation of a foe
mad, desperate and foolish. The good
God, who knows all and watches
over all, and sees all, and directs all,
was in our hearts deeper than we
knew when as nation we chose this
great serene soul to lead US. "-Dex-
ter Messenger.

The paper was given the man and he

glass.

whiskey.
He died at the general hospital at

W. H. Lowder of New Home town
ship, was in Butler Monday meeting
friends. Mr.. Lowder, who is can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for Judge Of the southern district, is a
gentleman of exceptional ability and
is we'll posted regarding county af-
fairs. While conservative in his
views, he is broad minded, courteous
and most accommodating, and there is
probably no man in the southern dis!
trict who would give the duties of the
office more careful, conscientious con-
sideration. He belongs to no clique
or political faction, but all his life has
worked for the best insterests of his
party. He has host of friends through
out the county who will take great
pleasure in giving him their loyal, un-
swerving support.
