Associated Prsaah


 NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-Fully ls,0o0 people filled Madison Square Garden last night to listen to the closing campaign address of Charles Evans Hughes. Republican candidate for the presidency. Prior to the time the candidate started his address the ns- sembled audience cheered him for forty minutes. Before tho meeting started MT. Hughes wss escorted to Madison Square Garden by Io,o0o paraders.
 On the speakers stand with tho nominee were Mrs. Hughes. thsir con and three daughters. Several speak- CTS preceded Mr. Hughes. who. when his turn came, said that his voice WAS weak. but that his heart was strong. as he has complete ooati. dence in a Republican victory.
 The candidate also championed Am. ericanism. He said if he is elected President the United States can ex. pect an American administration. He accused the opposition with attempt ing to buy. coerce or frighten the labor vote.

KEW YORK HERAIO'S STRAW VOTE INDICATES WILSON'S RE LECTlON-HE WILL GET 307 ELECTORAL VOTES, WHILE HUGHES GETS 224.

 NEW YORK, Nov 5.-The New York Heralds quarter-million straw vote gives Wilson the lead in the electoral vote by eighty-three. That is, it shows that Wilson will receive 3d7 electoral votes, while Hughes is conceded 224. The Herald says that Wilson will carry the States of Ala bama. Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware. Florida. Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mich igan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Ten. nessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin, These will give him BOT electoral votes, outside of Ohio and New York, says the report.
 Illinois is the real pivot, says the Herald. The labor and women's votes will tell there The women, notably the members of the families of the Wilsonian Republican class of railroaders, are openly champion ing the cause of Wilson. A big ma jority in Chicago is now being con- ceded to Wilson.
 Wilson will undoubtedly be given a substantial majority in New York City says the Herald, but Hughes will carry the state by 60,000. The Republicans have but slender hopes Of carrying Ohio, as the labor vote there will deliver the state to Will, son. The deciding states are gener ally considered to be New York, Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis consin.
 The Republicans are claiming Michi gan, although the straw vote there shows that the city of Detroit is Wilson's by a majority of $50. The inference is that the championing of the Adamson and Underwood laws by Senator La Toilette has turned the state to Wilson. Ignorance of Hughes, it is stated, has helped De. mocracy in Wisconsin, where the large German vote was counted upon to injure Wilson's chances.
 It is generally considered here that the most effective Democratic issues are the fact that Wilson has kept the country out of war; the Adam son law, and the present prosperity of the farmers and laboring men. The ancient full dinner pail" of the Republicans has proven a boomerang to the party.
 Political observers here believe that a united Republicanism could over- come Democracy, but that the Hughes Roosevelt-Taft coalition will be un- productive. In fact, the warlike Roosevelt has antagonized thousands by his attitude.
 The middle western leaders assert that a Democratic victory will be directly traceable to the fact that the country declares peace and that President Wilson has labor's ap- proval

WHY FLOOD OF GOLD TENDS
 TO AN INITIATION OF CREDIT

of sSO75.O00, deposits in the federal re- serve bank that is credit, to the amount of $34, ,96z, ,S19 and gold to the amount of $6S, ,S32 1S4. Those three Items foot up $106, ,870 O03, which is exactly 20 per cent, or one-fifth of the total depos- it's. $5SO, 29748
 To be exact, the law requires the Ma ticnal City to hold as a reserve only IS per cent of it's deposits; but in every day discussion the legal reserve ratio IS referred to as 20 per cent, or one-fifth, of deposits.
 That, however, is only one of a two- sided operation.
 A firm or a corporation or an individual goes to his bank to borrow, say $lOOOOO. The customer can take cash if he so elects. But even if he does, that cash is deposited with some other bank. In more than 99 cases out of every 100 borrower, instead of taking the $1O0000 cash, simply gets a credit from his bank for $l000O0. But in any event, against the $lO0O0O deposit thus created to the customer S account, the bank must keep reserve of IS per cent either in a credit on federal reserve bank, in greenbacks or in gold or other 'lawful money Thus. it is obvious that for every dollar of gold taken in by a bank, it's loans can be expanded nearly five times, little un- der one-fifth. One dollar in gold is all that is required by law to be held against $5 in credit-that is, deposits created by loans. Consequently, if a bank receives, say, $1,000000 in gold it may add five times that amount, or $5000,000, to it's loans, which 000 in turn will be re- nected in deposits. For every additional $1,0O0,00O of gold held by the National City, both loans and deposits may in-

The Price of Delay.

The only criticism heard respecting
the acquisition of the Danish West ln-
dies relates to the price. Previous ne
gotiations were on much smaller tinan-
eial basis Why should twenty five mil
lion dollars he paid now for what a
few years ago was appraised at only
fifth of that sum! The islands have
not changed in the matter of productiv-
ity, except probably to go backward. In
that particular, they are today at "a low
ebb. There has been no immigration. A
The figure is about thirty thousand, the
blacks. in the main, uneducated and
unprogressive.
The explanation is that, while the is
lands have not changed, the times have.
We are buying not so many acres of
land, capable under improved methods
and greater energy of such and such
productions, but territory which fits
into the new American scheme of things.
AS a growing sea power, we need the
islands. We are ordering navy of the
proper proportions, we are figuring on
a merchant marine to give us our proper
place as a carrying nation, and we con
troll and are responsible for the Pan
anna canal. Hence the increased value
of these islands to us.

Here is lesson in preparedness. We
lacked vision when the previous nego-
tiations failed. We should then have
seen world tendencies and our own tend
encies, and increased the size of our

sistible to Denmark. and foiling any
foreign objection to the transfer of the
property. Had we done that we might
have obtained the islands for a smaller
sum-smaller by half, prohably-tha

Easement and Fryatt.

There is no justification for coupling
the Easement and Fryatt cases in an
effort to show that Great Britain and
Germany are on the same plane as re-
CARDS punishments. No parallel what
ever exists between the two, save on the
one point that in each case a prisoner
was executed. Easement was a British
subject who had accepted honors and
favors and a pension from the crown,
and who, from partisanship, had fed the
country at the outbreak of the war and
gone to Germany. where he plotted
against Great Britain and endeavored
to bring about a revolution in Ireland
with German aid When he was cap
tured on his landing in Ireland from a
German submarine he was properly ac-
countable to the law as traitor. His
case was peculiarly aggravated by the
fact that until the beginning of hostili-
ties he was apparently loyal, devoted
Briton. His Vaccinations were caicu-
British government.
Capt Fryatt was a British sea cap
tain who had on one occasion so maneu-
vered his merchant vessel as to prevent
its capture and destruction by Ger
man submarine. Months later he was
taken prisoner by another submarine
and in punishment for his prior "of
fense" was summarily put to death with
only show of trial on the ground that
his previous conduct had made him a
pirate"
There was every justification in es-
tablished law and in precedent for Case.
ment's execution. There is no justif
cation in international law-and the
Fryatt case rests distinctly upon inter
national law-for the execution of a
ing attempted to defend his ship from
capture. Easement was not prisoner
of war, nor was Fryatt in a strict sense
unless Fryatt was ranked as a belliger
ent for having maneuvered his vesse1
in such way as TO make il a ship of of
fense against the submarine If Fryat'
was prisoner of war he was entitled tc
the immunities which international law
and the law of humanity accord to those
taken in arms.
At the worst England has possibly
committed a political blunder in the
execution Of Easement. At the best Ger
many has committed grievous crime
against humanity in the execution OF
Fryatt.

But now we tremble on our thrones.

To shoot up our aquarium"

And even though our judgment sound
Shows placid impartiality,

The Evening Star Newspaper Company
1lth St. and Pennsylvania Avenue
Congress as a Stump.

The orators in the House are warm
kept from the stump proper, they are
converting the hall of their body into
a substitute, and sounding campaign
notes there.
1t is good employment, although Sen
ator Stone in a speech the other day ex-
pressed the opinion that oratory in
dulged in here and intended for cam
paign consumption missed the mark.
Why sos 1t goes into the Congress
sionai Record; and that publication has
a larger circulation than is generally
known. Moreover, it is read with more
care by men interested in public bust
ness than is generally known. Great
numbers of people seeking information
about politics and politicians consult it.
The old joke about the dullness of the
Record and its neglect by the public has
been exploded.
As evidence of the value of this me-
dunn for advertising purposes, note how
keen both senators and representatives
are to secure leave to use it; to have
printed in it speeches and addresses
that have been delivered outside of Con-
gress.
Republican orators have now their
cue. Mr.. Hughes, as time passes, wiH
amplify the subjects he discussed in his
speech of acceptance, but the speech as
delivered will answer as guide to all
republican spellbinders. They will find
in it all necessary to their purposes in
appealing for votes for him.
The democrats need not wait for their
cue. Mr.. Wilson is standing on the
record, and they know what that is.
They have helped under his direction
to make large part of it. Later, he
will state the case in his own way, and
give it the benefit of his style. But,
in their different ways and styles, they
can with safety precede him.
This will serve also as entertainment
at time of fret and drowsiness. Wait
ing on the Senate probably tries the
patience of those who in their own
chamber wait on nothing. With rules
adjusted to that end, they can speed
up at any time on any measure, and
often do. Legislating while you wait
has grown to be distinctly House fea-
ture.
After awhile, real stumping on real
stumps will begin, and there are rea-
sons for believing that once begun it
will hum. There are more topics this
year than ever before, and all are in
spring. The new are full of matter,
and even the old have new angles. The
spellbinder who cannot secure attention
and earn his salt in this campaign might
we'll question himself about retiring,
and about the quickest way of disap-
pearing.

The Intangible Property Tax.

In one respect the District appropria-
tion bill as II passed the Senate was un-
fortunately framed. The adoption of
the amendment for the taxation of in
tangible property was not carefully con
sidered and had not been preceded by
heretofore been 10 add strange and
novel forms of taxation 10 the Districts
financial system, regardless of whether
they are necessary. The proposed in
tangible property tax is by no means
necessary, inasmuch as the liberal Sen
ate bill, in its most ample form, that in
which II came from the committee ap-
propriates less than the expected reve-
nues OF the District If there was a
deficit, if the appropriations ran be-
yond the point of revenue, these addi
tional taxes would be perhaps justifable,
but with District surplus annually re-
sulting from inadequate appropriations
the addition of new taxes merely ag.
gravates this situation and imposes a
needless burden upon the people.
If the imposition of the intangible
property tax had the effect of equaliz-
ing the tax burden, by a reduction Of
the realty tax, it would possibly be jus
tifable. But with the tax rate fxed by
law and the assessment virtually certain
never to be reduced, but, on the con-
trary, with an upward tendency, there is
no way for lessening of the realty tar
burden SO that the intangible tax may
serve as an equalizer.
In one respect, as a correspondent OF
The Star, whose letter has heretofore
been published. declares, the proposed
Intangible property tax will react sszi
