BUSINESS OF BANKS
HAS SPLENDID WEEK
Money Market Easy. Investors Buy
War Issues, Says President Wal
son. of Anacostia Bank.
BY GEORGE o. WATSON
President of the Anacostia National
Bank.


Bank
Banking business during the past
week was good and the money mar
ket was easy. People sought many
conservative investments, principally
in bonds for short periods of dura
ton. A speculative spirit is prevail
ing among some people, however, a
demand being noticed for stocks and
bonds of companies turning out war
munitions.
Political uncertainties are checking
somewhat the activities of many con-
servative investors, but the market
has not been affected in any way.
Those who do not care to invest in
the stocks and bonds of manufac-
turers of war munitions are choosing
municipal bonds of short time loans,
even though the rate OF interest is
low.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
IN HOLDEN CT.I witnessed tn

breaking up of an orderly public
gathering of Chicago citizens Sunday
night, the like of which in normal
times would not have occurred in
London, Paris or Berlin. There there
is greater liberty of action and speech
than in this city.
A speaker who said he represented
Pearson's Magazine was discussing
Fakes in the Daily Papers, There
was no noise or disorder. Suddenly
a squad of policemen, twenty or
more, followed by a patrol wagon,
rushed into the crowd, the speaker
was hauled away to the station
house, while the quiet bystanders
were rudely pushed and threatened
by burly officers who swung their
clubs and INDUCED in vile speech.
These police are supposedly serv-
ants of the public, and they are I'M
der the law, but they assume to be
masters of the people who pay them
wages they could not earn in any
other form of employment.
l have heard speakers in London
crowds severely arraign the royal
family and the government while the
English bobby" stood by and lis
tened without interference.
The incident Sunday night was an
outrage. The speaker cited fragrant
receptions used in the headlines of
New York papers, but it is not nee
essary to go outside of Chicago to
see constant instances of taking. l
noted a damnable case the other
morning in the Herald, where a big

DEMAND THE FACTOR.-My idea
is that it is neither the land or labor
that gives the value, for if you make
two articles and on one you put four
hours and On the other eight hours
labor and in offering them for sale
you find the people wanting the arti-
Gle on which you put four hours Ia
Dor and no one will make an offer for
the one on which you put eight hours
of labor it would seem as though it
must be the demand that gives an
article it's value.
have read and studied single tax
and do not consider it an economic
panacea any more than l believe the
rule that if you keep your head cool,
your feet warm and your bowels
open that you will always be well.
But both theories are good and will
go a long way toward the end de-
Sired
While l am sure single tax would
reduce the price of vacant land, it
would still be up to each individual to
be his own committee Of ways and
means to get the price of the vacant
property.
AS to the taxing of the working
mans cottage and the four-story
sweatstop equally with the vacant
lot, 1 think the single tax idea is to
tax the vacant property equally with
the workingman's cottage and the
four-story sweatshop if they all hap
pen to be in the same neighborhood
consider the poverty in the cities
due in large measure to there being
too many people in the cities and our
wanting to live by too little work.

PLAYA of Last Week.

Treasure Island" at the Punch and
Judy Theatre is dramatization when
has caught the spirit Of Stevenson's
romance to remarkable degree. Nat
urally, the play is melodrams, but with
that subtle, humorous sophistication
which may be detected throughout the
book by the grown-up reader.
The beginning Of the play, the scene
in the inn and the scenes on board the
Hispaniola, are decidedly better than
those on the island, but that is also
true Of the book. In addition to the
achievements Of the author and the ac-
tors. the feat of the stage manager
should be recorded. Although Treas.
ure Island" Is laid in four acts and
nine scenes, the performance ends be-
fore IL o'clock and that in spite OF the
fact that the theatre is one OF the
smallest in New York.
The play is mounted lavishly, and
the acting ranges from brilliant to ade-
ouate. The best work is done by Frank
Sylvester as blind Pew, but Edward
Emery, as John Silver, and Tim Muir
ply, as Bill Bones, are excellent.

"Sadie Love" at the Gaiety, Is a dar-
ing attempt by Avery Hopwood to blend
farce and romance. Mr.. Hopwood is
one of our most skilful farce writers,
but he has not altogether succeeded in
fusing the two types of drama. His
romance is somewhat more interesting
than his farce. The play abOunds in
bright lines and there are amusing sit
uations in spite of a tendency TO occa-
sional complexity. The acting is I'M
usually good. Pedro de Cordoba, at
least, is romantic and amusing as well,
but not necessarily at the same time.
Majorie Rambeau is handsome, husky
and wholesome young woman who plays
pleasingly in spite of the fact that she
seems a coincidence rather than a
farceur. Mr.. Hopwood's fondness for
flirting with improperly Is carried fur
Their than usual and less skilfully.
1.-THE Ware Case" at the Maxine
Elliott Theatre, is an exceedingly te-
dious melodfama, relieved only by one
interesting bit of action which comes
too late in the play to be of much use.
Lou Tellegen is mscast as an English
sportsman, but does take his final
scene, when he confesses and dies, with
a great deal of spirit. He is also alive
to the possibilities Of the constant sug-
gestion that Sir Hubert Ware is an
abnormal man." but the author has
not given him much dramatic oppor-
tunity along these lines. The court
room scene is quite the most painstak-
ing of a season which has had much to
do with judges and juries. The sup
porting cast is adequate, but not so
their material.
