PAUL Nj. WARBURG.

dents and opportunities that made
Paul NJ Warburg a sort of evan
gelist Of banking reform in the
United States. It was more by acct
dent than by design that he became
an American citizen. At the time
President Wilson signed the Re-
serve Bill, Mr.. Warburg had been
naturalized about two years.
Washington was President of the
United States when Mr.. Warburg's
great-grandfathe founded the bank
ing house of Warburg & Warburg
in Hamburg, Germany. Before that
date the Warburgs had figured
prominently in the commerce Of
Hamburg. The banking house has
always been strictly family bust
ness. None but Warburg has been
eligible for it, but all Warburgs
have been born into it. So when
Paul NJ. Warburg was born, he was
prospectively partner in the firm.
He entered it at the age of twenty
five, and retained his membership
until the day the Senate confirmed
his appointment to the Reserve
Beard Of his three brothers, one
is now head of the Hamburg firm
and one of the financial advisers of
the German Government another
is a member of the firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Company in New York;
third is a professor of art in Ger
many.
In 1895 MIR. Warburg married the
daughter of the late Solomon Loeb
of Kuhn, Loeb & Company, New
York. Thereafter he visited the
United States every year. The ILL
ness of his wife's parents and their
desire to have their daughter near
them impelled him to move to New
York in 1902. He became mem
Der of his father-in-law banking
firm. At the time of his immigra-
ton Mr.. w arDurS had not serious
ly contemplated becoming citizen
of the United States. In his own
country he had enjoyed honor and
position. He was member of the
local legislative body. He served
on the Haendelsgewicht, a court OF
arbitration and general law in con-
nection with mercantile affairs. In
his habits of thought, as we'll as in
his social and business interests, he
was essentially German.
AS soon as he arrived here Mr.
Warburg was initiated into one Of

American banking world, particu-
larly as an authority on foreign bust
ness and for four years his revolt
tionary paper lay quietly in his
desk.
The stimulus came at little gath
cring of bankers and economists at
the home of Professor Edwin r. A.
Selioman of Columbia University
shortly before the beginning of the
panic of 1907 Events were rapidly
shaping toward the crash, and
naturally the talk turned on the
ominous financial outlook. When
Mr.. Warburg spoke, all other opin
ions suddenly seemed superficial.
"You ought to write. You ought
to publish" exclaimed Professor
Seligman.
''Impossible ! can't write Eng
lish yet-not we'll enough for publ
cation"
"The English can be arranged.
It's your duty to get your ideas be-
fore the country urged the profess
sOr.
Shortly after this the New York
Times asked Mr.. Warburg for an
article, to be used in its annual re-
view, dealing with financial condi-
tons. SO he exhumed his old paper.
brought it up to date, had frienc
help him with the English, and sent
the essay to the paper 1t bore the
title, "Defects and Needs of Our
Banking System" This was the be-
ginning of his crusade.
With the passage of the bill, Mr..
Warburg's work was ended. q
have had the success which comes
to few people, he said, ''of starting
an idea SO that the whole country
has taken it up, and it has assumed
scme tangible FORM The result
was his reward. Of appointment to
the Federal Reserve Board he had
not the least expectation. tie was
a recent immigrant, a Hebrew, a
Wall Street man. Any of these
things, he believed, was sufficient
to bar him. When, in the spring,
President Wilson asked him if he
would sacrifice his personal af-
fairs by accepting position on the
Reserve Board, he was taken COM
pletely by surprise.
Mr.. Warburg's income from his
private business was at this time ap-
proXimately half million dollars
year. To become a member of the
Reserve Board he would have to
sacrifice this for a salary of $4,000.

with more than one civilization. In
keenness of wit, in balance of iudg-
ment, in fertility of resource all this
may constitute a competitive adj
vantage; for spiritual harmony, for
poise of manner, for steady. calm
soul-growth it is a distinct handi-
cap. One need not be so uncom-
fortably amphibious a creature as
is my friend, and yet one may OBJ
serve with certain envious long
ing what comfortable poise, what
a bllssful Inconsistencies of or in
difference to criticism, what natural,
unhindered growth it means to be
completely Unidentified with a Gull
tural soil, to have known no other
spiritual moulds than it's seasons
and landscapes, it's customs and
manners, it's glories and its songs,
to feel a complete and undisputed
proprietorship in all the pronounced
individuality and all the cherished
memories of recognized culture

distinctly stimulating to be member
of minority; our position of the

slant objects Of criticism and con-
troversy, of the handicapped and
disdained has it's advantages as an
incentive to effort, a corrective of
foibles, a stimulus to fellowship:
but there is something unwho1esome
about rearing child with too con-
slant correction and too much dis
cipline; Providence has been,
through these agencies, a nagging
mother to us and has made us too
conscious, too nervOusly keen to
please. 1t has not done us any good,
so far as spiritual balance and ease
of mind are concerned, to be driven
from country to country, with ever
lasting questionmarks as to what
the next decade may bring; ease of
adaptation to new environments,
ready mastery of languages, swift
changes of culture garments, these
are, after all, not the things that
make for peaceful, harmonious soul
embodiment.
Yet, even with these drawbacks
which, until recent times, have not
been able to disintegrate our in
dividuality, SO long as our lives
were apart and Our ranks closed,

EREsT ELRERT. ELeERT COUNTY COUNTRY
Shooting ARRAY.

This quiet burg was thrown into
furore, last Friday afternoon, when a
telephone message called for help, stat
ing that whole family was being mur-
dered east of town. Before anyone had
started for the scene OF conflict Goods
automobile arrivedfn town with bloody
looking man, who proved to be Marion
F. Head of Denver.
Mr.. Head came up from Denver Fri
day morning and went directly to the
ranch occupied by his former wife, Mrs.
A. M. Griffith, who had been divorced
from him for sixteen years. 1t seems
that Head tried to enter the house and
Mrs. Griffith ordered him away and shut
the door in his face. Being alone she
procured a revolver and fired one shot in
the house, thinking it would scare him
away, but it did not have the desired
effect.
Presently Griffith reached home and
found Head there, and after some words
they got into an alteration. Head was
getting the better of her husband when
Mrs. Griffith rushed out with revolver
and fired several shots at hlm, three
bullets piercing different portions OF his
body. After the revolver had been
emptied she hit him on the head several
times with a rock and he jumped up and
ran to the tanner home aud was taken
from there to j. w. Goods and brought
to town in an auto. DR.. Denney band
aged his head and he was accompanied
to Denver on the afternoon train b,
John Barkley.
Three bullets were extracted from his
body on Saturday by Denver physician
and at last accounts he was feeling no
i'll effects from his foolish journey.
Deputy Sheriff Theo. Neuman went
out Saturday and arrested Mr.. and Mrs
Griffith and they we're taken before f..
M. Stills for a preliminary hearing.
After an investigation of the affair the
parties were discharged on the grounds
of self defense.
1t is claimed that Head has made sew
eral trips to the ranch the past year on
one pretext or another, but had always
been chased away. He appeared to be
laboring under the halucination that
his former wife was in need and he ex-
pressed desire to provide for her. These
who are acquainted with the circum-
stances of the family know that such is
not the case. They are we'll respected
people and are getting along as well as
the ordinary farmer.
From reports we infer that Mr.. Head
is not altogether responsible for his ac-
tions. Such being the case he is emit
tied to sympathy, but should be looked
after by the proper authorities.
