Currency Elastic.

By the Federal Reserve act the sup
plv Of currency at the disposal OF
active business has been rendered elias
tic. taxing its volume, not from a fixed
body Of investment securities, but from
the liquid assets Of daily trade; and
these assets are assessed and accepted,
not BY distant groups OF bankers IN
control OF unavailable reserves, but by
bankers at the many centres of local
exchange who are in touch with local
conditions everywhere.

American Ideals.

In foreign affairs We have been
guided by principles clearly conceived
and consistently lived up to. Perhaps
they have not been fully comprehended
because they have hitherto governed
international affairs only IN theory,
hot in practice. They are simple, OBJ
vious. easily stated and fundamental
to American ideals.
We have been neutral not only be
cause il was the fixed and traditional
policy Of the United States 10 stand
aloof from the politics Of Europe and
because We had no part either Of &C
tion or of policy in the influences which
brought on the present war, but also
because it was manifestly our duty 20
prevent. if il were possible, the inden-
mite extension of the fires of hate and
desolatiOn kindled by that terrible con
fict and seek TO serve mankind by re-
serving our strength and our resources
for the anxious and difficult days OF
restoration and healing which must
follow when peace will have 70 build
, its house anew.
The rights Of our own citizens, Of
course, became involved; that was in
evitable. Where they did this was our
guiding principle: that property rights
can be indicated by claims for damages
and no modern nation can decline 70 ar
bitrate such claims; but the fundamen-
raj rights Of humanity cannot be. The
loss Of life is irreparable. Neither can
direct violations of a nations SOW
ereignty await vindication in suits for
damages The nation that violates
these essential rights must expect 20
be checked and called 20 account by
direct challenge and resistance. II al
once makes the quarrel in part our
own. These are plain principles, and
We have never lost sight OF them or de-
parted from them, whatever the stress
or the perplexity Of circumstance or
the provocation 70 hasty resentment

throughout, and stands distinct and

A Needy Case.

Our attention has been called
to the condition of a certain
family in Chesterfield county
whose plight is desperate.
The father is an inmate of the
insane asylum and the mother is
said to be net much better
equipped mentally than the
father. Perhaps not much SYM
pathy need be wasted on the
Older people. but there are seven
children. One of them, the old
est. lad of fourteen, has for
tunately found q home in the
State reformatory. The other
six, we are told. are living in q
wretchedly filthy condition, des-
titute of food and clothing.
Here is an excellent oppor-
tunity for some good people to
do little Christian work with
out tie expense of passage to
China or Africa.
For further information about
this case call at this office or see
the Rev. j. L. Tyler.
