NO oCCASION.To FANCY.


Commenting on the. fact that
the Federal Resrve Bank has
been in operation for a year the
New Orleans "Picayune" ex-
claims: Fancy what might
have happened without this new
system in the first week of the
war!'
Fortunately we do not have to
fancy. We know; exactly what
happened then "without..the new
system, for the new system
then had none but a skeleton ex-
istence. But there then stood on
the statute books a most excel
lent Republican enactment,
known as the Aldrieh-V -Vreeland
law and providing for an issue
of a well-fortified emergency
currency. AiDemocratic admin
istration made use of the repub-
.lican law, and issued the nee
issary which saved
the situation "in the.irst week
Of the war. 80 e. t'ih-
i q Treas
The annual raportof the Dem
;peratic Secretary of the Treas
ury. will bear evidence to. this,
B1d, We commend the facts to
The "Picayune" and to other
Democrats who are inclined to
run riot in exultation.

Up to few weeks ago the present national administration
