held by the national banks over and
above the amount they are required
to hold, amounts to nearly as much
as the total reserve of all national
banks as late as 1903.
T. The reports of the federal reserve
banks at this time show that the to,
; tai amount of bills discounted and ac-
'ceptances held by these banks amount
! to approximately $4,000, 900 while
, the supply of gold which the federal
! reserve banks have now on hand is
sufficient to give these banks a furth-
! er loaning capacity, if the occasion
called for it, of more than $500 600
600 additional, provided they should
utilize their note issuing powers to
the maximum.
In view of the enormous resources
of our national banks and of orr fed
! eral reserve banks and of their I'M
/ precedented reserves, it may be inter
esting to consider to what extent our
national banks have had occasion to
borrow money by direct loans in past
years for crop moving and other pur-
poses.
The sworn statements of the ma
tional banks show that the maximum
amount of money which these banks
have ever borrowed at the times of
their reports to the Comptroller of the
Currency, on bills payable and redis-
counts, was $162 1000. This amount
the national banks of the country
were borrowing on October 81. 1914

ing to these statements. had never
exceeded $50,000,000. On August o.
.l907, the direct borrowings of the ma
uOnal banks amounted to S5o.176 900
These bills payable and rediscounts
increased as a result Of the panic of
1907 to 800, 955, 900, on December Fl
1907. The hundred million mark was
not reached again until August Q. 1913,
when the direct borrowings of these
banks were reported at $109 100, 900.
Against their maximum direct Dor

We hold that our cause Is righteous, but our foes are our cause is righteous, but our foes are their side God is the judge, and we must pray for submission to his will, whatever be the issue"
 The movement of animal lovers to intro duce a special prayer for animals into the service also has no support in the higher clergy, if at all in the clergy of the English church.
 T cannot sanction for use in church the litany which contains prayer for the ami mals and speaks of them as offering their guileless lives" says Dr. Gore bishop of Oxford. Tt has never been the custom of the church to pray for any other than those we think are rational It is complete mls take to suppose the orthodox churches would countenance any such prayers. We can, of course, pray for men that they may be kind to animals"

abridgement of the right of a voter to cast ballot shall be cast within certain hours. The ordinance was made for the facilitation ot voting and to prevent fraud and illegal vot- ing, and not by any means for the purpose of denying the right of franchise to any qualified elector. It could in no sense be held to be an interference with the terri toral law prescribing the qualifications of voters.
 The intimation that other conditions of the ordinance had not been complied with was, of course no concern of the election board, whose duties were confined to the conduct of the polling and the counting and certifying of the vote. It would not excuse a lapse of duty or usurpation of authority on their part.
 That paragraph of the opinion which was signed by only two of the attorneys con suited will be rather incomprehenslble to the lay mind, but 1t appears that, like d. most any view taken of a given statute, 1t ,an be fortified by ample legal authority. It is puzzlng to learn that there is nothing in the ordinance which prohibits an elector from voting because he has failed to regis ter, if, under oath, he shows that he has the qualifications" etc, in view of the fact that the ordinance explicitly provides that voters must register" It is also somewhat startling to learn that "the provisions of Section of the ordinance, in our opinion, are directory, and not mandatory" and that thus the word must" should be defined as may" or ln other words, that the ordl- nance is farce, and that citizens who have dropped their business to attend to their registration, as all good citizens have been taught is their duty, have been wasting their time, and that the lazy or disinterested per son who neglects to register at the proper time is put to no inconvenience thereby nor loses any privilege that the alert citizen en- joys But as in the preceding instance 1t is said that there IS ample authority for such view of the law.
 The upshot of the whole matter Is, there fore, that the registration law of the munich pality of Idltarod is merely mass of words having no real meaning and no effect as law and can be either compiled with or lg- nored. Which it Is at least we'll to know.
