Money Rates in the South.

One w. p G.. Harding member of the Federal
Reserve Board, to have run off the reserva-
ton. The charges he has made in public regard
the banks of the South for borrowed money are
at least surprising He is quoted as saying in
speech delivered at Raleigh, n. c:
There are five national banks in AIahan,, ybos.
maximum rates OF interest average 70 per cent, the
rate IN one case being 90 per cent, and in another
81 per cent.
The average rate of interest which one of these
banks was charging on all OF its loans amounted
to IL per cent, another per cent. In Arkansas
ono national bank admitted making a loan at a
rate as high as 12o per cent another one at 50
per cent, another at 90 and another at IS.
In Georgia there eleven banks where the
average maximum rate of interest was about 30
per cent The maximum rate charged by ono of
these banks was 40 per cent and the average on
all loans was Is per cent. No bank in South
Carolina admitted charging more than IS per cent
In Texas a number OF banks reported rates in
excess OF 100 per cent, and many of them stated
that their average rates on all loans were 1 per
cent per month more
Mr.. Harding went to say that zone bank in
North Carolina admitted making a loan at as high
as so per cent" Before the time came when the
South was fairly "in the saddle" the country was
regaled with the most frightiul imprecations
upon the banking institutions of the North which
refused to let money go to Southern banks or
Southern borrowers except upon such terms as
offered to their nearer constituents Now
we have it upon the authority of a member of the
Federal Reserve Board that the Southern banks
are in position to refuse loans except upon the
most oppressive terms What can be wrongo Is
it possible that in spite of all the favors bestowed
by the administration, cash is so scarce in the
South that it command such interest rates
as Mr. Harding quotes, And if so, why can't
the borrowing be done in New York? The thought
that there may be money trust in the South
since the South has been "in the saddle" is alb
horrent Clearly there must be some explana-
tion which does not appear in the press reports

A Town with Two Official Sundays

"A Town with Two Official Sundays.
There was good many dscov-
cries of interest and some of them
of great Importance which were made
after Alaska was turned over to the
United States by Russia in 1867"
said the late Frederick w Seward
to me while chatting about his ex-
perience in Alaska. which he visited
in 1899. Mr.. Seward. as Assistant
Secretary Of State under his father
William II. Seward, had personal and
official knowledge of the diplomacy
conducted by his father by which we
acquired what was called Russian
America. His recollections of those
negotiations and of the persons who
were identified with them formed not
the least interesting features of the
personal "reminiscences with which.
after he retired to private life, he
entertained his friends.
Il suppose that very few persons
now know that within the territory
of the United States is small city

Alaska. When my father visited
Alaska. about year after he retired
from the State Department. he spent
several days at Si;ka. One morning
tie chapel maintained by the Russian
Greek Church in Sitka, and he asked
why they were ringing that day. He
was told that they were ringing to
summon the members of the Greek
Church to service. The national re-
liEion of Russia is that of the Greek
Church. My father asked if they held
their religious services upon Satur-
day. saying that according to his
calendar that day was Saturday
He was told in Sitka and with the
Russians that il was Sunday. This
puzzled my father for a while, and
upon further inquired he learned that
Russia on the one hand and the
United. States on the other maintained
distinctive calendars. That made the
Russian Sunday our Saturday The
fact was that the Russians got their
time from the West by way of Sibe-
ria. whereas the United States got it's
time from Washington in the East

The lew a Great Sufferer.

The celebration of the Jewish Yom Kippur
arouses thoughts as to how great a sufferer that
race has been because of the war While Jews
are valiantly fighting under every flag for the
countries Of which they happen to be citizens,
great territories inhabited almost exclusively by
Jews have been ravagcd by the war as completely
