Tn some quarters, chiefly Democratic,
i the success of the loan made to
France and England is hailed as a
triumph for the federal reserve bank
ins system. 1t really is nothing of the
sort
The loan was made a success
through the efforts and the ability of
the bankers in New York, whom the
federal reserve system was organized
to injure. The McAdoo- Williams plans
for the federal reserve system were
made to destroy New York as a natural
financial center To accomplish this
an unnatural division of the country
was made and everything possible was
done to hamper. New York in main
tanning its financial supremacy.
The success of the loan. therefore. is
a triumph for New York finance in
which Democratic financial legislation
has no share whatever.

Tha reality of dreams is no better
illustrated than the story the Ian
caster New Era tells of a Selinsgroye
boy who dreamed he was the hero of
a football battle and was making a
long end-run or breaking through the
line for a touchdown or something
else, for dreams in retrospect are often
uncertain as to details; so strong was
the vision that he unwittingly Jumped
from the second-story window and
fell to the ground, fortunately without
serious result. Freud's theory that "a
dream is the representation of an un-
fulfilled desire" seems to be vindi-
Gated, except for the last part of the
dream.

IN there is nothing in the way of

1t is no secret that many employers
have regarded the continuation school
feature with hostility and that the jobs

REnFIELn,s LATEST

INDER the Constitution the in
" depreciation of laws is a function
of the courts. Under the Will
son administration it is a function of
any ministerial agent who sees fit to
exercise it. The latest usurpation of
this kind emanates from Secretary
Bedfeld. who seeks to amend the sea-
mans act by interpreting out of it the
language provision inserted by Con-
Gress. He has just ruled that the sec
tion requiring -cficers and crew to
understand the same language does
not mean what it says.
The crew may speak any language
under the sun so long as the officers
have learned in that language the COM
mands necessary to direct them in
their work or so long as the crew
understand the commands of the off,
Ger. whether they knew his language
oil not.
We are not disposed to criticise the
conclusions which Mr.. Redfeld has
reached. But the fact remains that it
is his business to enforce law, not to
interpret it.

THE PANAMA CANAL AT WORK
XII.-The Panamanians
By Frederic ]. Haskin
By BRIGGS

Panama City. The will of a young
man of one of the leading families,
who was recently killed in a dispute
over land deal, revealed the fact that
he enjoyed an income of $4,000 AM
erican money a year. In addition to
the house in the City of Panama where
he lived and had his place of busi-
ness, he owned number of other
houses in the town, country place in
Las Sabanas, the most attractive rural
district of the Isthmus, broad acres
of the best Panamanian agricultural
land, and great herds of cattle.
This young man is a typical speci-
men of the ruling class of Panama
City. Intelligent, well-educated and a
thoroughly capable businessman, he
is of a type which no broad minded
American fails to respect True, he
does not develop the country. as a citi-
zen of the United States would do II
he had the same capital and op-
portunity. The Panamanian does not
aspire to change. He finds life good as
it is. His object is to enjoy his estate,
as his fathers have done before him,
and hand it down intact and perhaps
a little better to his heirs. He is, above
all things. conservative.
These Panamanians are fond of So
ciety, music and travel. They are pat
rons of the arts. Many of them go to
Europe every year for the concert and
opera season. They are firm believers
in family life, and, broadly speaking
there are neither bachelors nor old
maids in Panama. The girls, even of
the highest class, are usually married
by the time they are eighteen.
Enter the Little God
Marriage in Panama is vastly more
a matter of choice upon the part OF
the contracting parties than in most
South American countries. Most or
the matches are love matches, and all

positors OF the world to-day
All Christians, certainly, and all
others I hope. desire to know what the

In these conferences much may be
more as to how to study and learn for

viii be opened up. as to what this
greatest of Books teaches.

creasing,. feeling that the large ma
1ority of our citizens do not know
what what they are missing and that per-
edge as to the trustworthiness OF these
meetings, l desire to personally. go on
record to the Harrisburg public as

STROUP,S CANDIDACY

n FEW years ago, when District
"A Attorney Michael E. Stroup was
fighting the loan sharks" in
Harrisburg, he was the subject of COM
mendation by Democratic as we'll as
Republican newspapers. Nothing was
too good to say of him.
To-day Mr.. Stroup is a candidate
for reelection.
Do those Democratic newspapers, so
fulsome with their praise only a brief
time since, refresh the minds of the
voters by repeating what they then
said?
Oh. no. Quite the opposite They
attack Stroup, besmirch his reputation
and print what they must know is not
true of him.
That's Democratic politics as played
in Dauphin county. Fortunately for
Mr.. Stroup. the voters have learned TO
recognize the brand.

.T\HE people of the Republic Of
Panama are divided sharply into
a ruling and peon class. The
great mercantile middle class, which
is the strength of all Anglo-Saxon
communities, is conspicuously lack
ing. Most of the land and cattle and
the larger business enterprises are
owned by the ruling class, while the
petty shop-keeping, the clerking and
bookkeeping, is done by Cinnamon,
Europeans, Jews and Jamaicans.
The aristocracy of Panama is a
class of which, in many respects, any
nation might be proud. 1t strongly
resembles the society of our South
ern States in the days of slavery. And
in fact. it's fundamental conditions
are very similar, for it is founded upon
the ownership of land and the abso-
lutte control of lower class. The
result here, as in the old South, has
been to create a leisured people of
unusual culture and with fine appre-
citation of the pleasures of living.
1t is safe to say that there are sew
eral times as many persons in Panama
City who are masters of three Ian
guages as you could find in any town
of the same size in the United States.
There are also a great many more
persons who hold university degrees.
The Panamanian does not get his edu-
cation at any half baked university a
hundred miles from home; for there
are no universities worthy of his at
tention in Central or South America.
The typical Panamanian aristocrat
has been educated in Belgium, Switz-
erland, France or England. A young
Panamanian, who has decided upon
the law as his profession, for example,
will probably be able to decorate the
wall of his office with the degree of
Doctor of Laws from the University
Of London.
