STATUS OF THE RIGGS BANK
Affidavits Seem to Have Made Out Strong Case Against Conduct of
 the institution.

Afidavits describe the Riggs bank. through its officials, as consistently breaking the banking laws; as unlaw. fully conducting a brokerage and land loan business; as making illegal loans to it's own officials and to clerks on stock collateral; as swearing false oaths; as gaining government favors from those about to enter it's employ. ment.
 They paint blacker picture They charge that illegal and improper loans were made to Senators Bailey, Quay and Proctor; to the late Representa- tive J. D. Richardson. who could favor Standard Oil traction interests; to Frank A. Vanderlip, now president of the Standard Oil bank in New York. whose services to it in the purchase of the old customhouse are well remem- bered; to former treasury officials. among them Comptroller Ridgely, and various assistant secretaries; even to a secretary of the treasury, Leslie M. Shaw
 If these sworn statements stand test we shall have disclosed veritable al. liance between Big Business and the government of the United States under administrations more lenient with law breakers than the present. We shall see laid bare the secret course of pipe lines that led from the treasury straight to the lair of Standard Oil

AIDS ALL BUSINESS
New Currency System Great Help
 to Country.
President Wilson Explains the Good Effects Which Must Result From Operation of Law for Which
 Democrats Are Responsible.

Let bankers explain the technical features of the new currency system. Suffice it here to say that it provides a currency which expands as it is need ed, and contracts when it is not need ed; a currency which comes into exist ence in response to the call of every man who can show a going business and concrete basis for extending credit to him, however obscure or prominent he may be, however big or little his business transactions.
 More than that. the power to direct this system of credits is put into the hands of a public board of disinterest- ed officers of the government itself who can make no money out of any thing they do in connection with it. No group of bankers anywhere can get control; no part of the country can concentrate the advantages and con- veniences of the system upon itself for it's own selfish advantage. The board can oblige the banks of one region to go to the assistance of the banks of another. The whole resources O. the country are mobilized, to be employed where they are most needed. l think we are justified in speaking of this as a democracy credit. Credit is at the disposal of every man who can show energy and assets. Each region of the country is set to study it's own needs and opportunities and the whole country stands by to assist. It is self government as well as democracy President Wilson.

league and is back at his old trick of rolling up huge winning percentage.
 The most amazing part of Plank's work this year is the fact that he is pitching to batters who are new to him. He hasn't the benefit of the ex- perience gained in other years to aid him. He doesn't know the strength and the weakness of the batters who face him, as he did in the American league. He must learn as he goes. He must pit the old southpaw whip, absolutely unaided, against the Fed. eral league clouters And he has done so successfully.
 Plank is one of the very few left handlers who has no eccentriclties. He has been normal in his conduct, a gen tleman on the ball field and off, and all through the 16 years of his major league career he has graced the game by his presence.

President Wilson's Position.

President Wilson, like President Cleveland, has found some members of his party in congress who are not in accord with the avowed Democratic tariff policy. As matter of political fact, the commercial development of a part of the solia South resulted in aligning a few Democratic senators with the most effective champions of the protective policy. The president has declared that he is not free trader and. in effect. that he sought no more than reasonable tariff revision,

 Perhaps those umpires need fewer critics and more good models.
 Many major league scouts are searching for spectators, not play CTS.
 Pirates of Barney Dreyfuss appear to be almost as good as the Pirates of PenZance-
 George Stallings insists that the Braves are a better ball team than they were last year.
 One of the Pittsburgh critics says Evers is playing for public sympathy by threatening to quit.
 'I care not for the stars that shine" sang Connie Mack, whereupon he sold another to Comiskey
 Ban Johnson, American league boss, says ten cents is all the Federal league should ever have charged.
 Pete Compton, the terrible slugger from Kansas City, is expected to help the Braves out of their batting slump.
 There are many fans in Boston that are complaining about the generosity ot Connie Mack toward the White Sox
 Ty Cobb has stolen more bases this year than the entire Philadelphia Ma tionals, who are leading the old league race.
 George Whitted is making Miracle Man Stallings frown every time he looks at the hit column of the Phillies' box score.
 Federal league batters were com pIetely fooled by the mud ball." but President Gilmore knocked it clear out of the league.
 If Lee Fohl were in Germany he would be given an iron cross. He has managed the Cleveland team more than two months.
 What s the matter with the Cubs?" asks Roger Bresnahan And Charley Herzog answers: What ain't the mat ter with the Reds?"
 Connie Mack promised to put some pepper into his team-and he did, all though his pepper seems more like paprika than cayenne
 
 Most of the stars of the American league are golf players, but refrain from indulging in the game in the baseball playing season.
 Grover Alexander does not worry over his defeats. Pat Moran says he never knew a pitcher to be so uncon- cerned about his defeats.
 Hugh1e Jennings is hustling to keep his Tigers in front of the procession, but he will not be able to do it unless he gets some pitching help.
 Hans Wagner and Heinie Zimmer- man should worry about small base bali receipts. There has been big drop in the price of sauerkraut.

The days unburdened by care

That but made love more dear, more

Came back-my eyes were full of

My tears, and check my throbbins

And let my dream have fondest sway.

And be no more, while should dream
Twas not dream! But when those

Come back-my eyes were full of

Their way-my tears and let my breast
Throb with unrest. the while gave
Myself up to my dream-the bleSt.
Dear memory of what once was!
'Twere vain to have done else, because
When the lone heart dreams of Loves
years,
IT'S then-the eyes will fill with tears!
