WASHINGTON.

Not in the century and a quarter since Washington's death has the an niversary of his birth meant so much to his country as it does this year This tall, strong. kind. patient, reso lute virginian was the dominant and outstanding type of the new Republic of America He was never a brilliant military genius or a great statesman He was more than either of these things; he was a MAN, Simple, gentle. mostentatious. practical, he adapted his high moral courage and the powers of his well balanced mind to terrible and discouraging condi- tiOns and carried them through to success. His patience and persever- ance and tact and nobility of eharac- ter, rather tran his unusual or bril- liant talents won for him his victories in civil and military life. His ideals were high and his motives unselfsh. ACACC HIS oaCA6AAs AOA Ab Ndo uAoS sailable in what is generally the weak est point with leaders and public men. We think of Washington al ways as first in peace and first in war. The United States aspires to- day to be first in these two; these contrasts; these paradoxes; these i'm perative necessities to a nations greatness and permsnency. Wash ington was too kind and too gentle and too humane and too noble to have loved peace for peace sake And he was too big and too practical and too high-minded to hesitate to draw the sword when the bully crosses the deadIine set by forbearance. He feught for freedom against English autOcracF. His country now fights side by side with English democracy for freedom for weaker peoples How WashingtOn's great heart would ex- pand and his noble glance kindle if he could be alive today to see Ameri- cans press forward to finish the hght he began How deeply he would be affected to see his little nation, now grown to be so large. paying in heap ed and rounded measure the debt he owed to France Washington en- dured defeat and privaticn for eight bitter years Despair sat at his right hand But he fought on And he won, as they always do who fight on for the right and never give up. France sent money and men and ships to save Washington And today. upon the anniversary of Washington's birth, the very angels smile while we send men and money and ships to France in order to keep burning that torch lighted by the great, unselfsh and kindly hands of the Father of His Country Today. pledged to a death grapple with autOcracy. we can OD-i serve thy natal day and honor thy memory with Uplifted eyes and un- busting face Thy republic is not degenerate Thy ideals still stand before its eyes Thy spirit lives on.

ures and central banks, its place in
active circulation having been taken al
most entirely by paper money and
circulating bank credit. In govern
ment treasures and central banks this
gold has served as basis for a large
and rapidly rising structure of circu-
lating bank credit and paper money.
In the vaults Of central banks gold
does it's most efficient work. In our
own Federal Reserve banks, for ex-
ample, one dollar Of gold is an adequate
legal reserve for $3.50 of Federal Re
serve notes, or for 1886 of deposits of
member banks' reserve money; while
each dollar of member banks' reserve
deposits provides the legal reserve on
the average for about eleven dollars
of bank deposits. The average dollar
kept on deposit in n commercial bank
turns over many times a year through
the checks shat are drawn against it.
The United States has day over
three billion dollars worth Of gold
money, representing a net increase Of
about a billion dollars since the
European war broke out, and represent
ing by far The largest supply of gold
to be founI in any country of the
world. The great bulk of this gold
over two billion dollars of it's held

serve for nearly two billion and
half dollars of Federal Reserve notes
and for something like fifteen billion
dollars Of deposits held by member
banks. The Federal Reserve system has
come into being since the war broke
out 1t has made wonderful improve
ments in our banking system, and in
DONG so has effected great economies
IN the use Of gold, making a dollar Of
reserve money support n1uch larger
STRUCTURE of circulating credit than it
would before. All this has tended to-
make gold cheap and prices high.
In the light of these facts, is it rea
sonaDle TO attempt to stimulate gold
production by means of government
bounty? Obviously the money to pav
the bounty would be obtained immedi-
ately or ultimately from Federal taxes
collected throughout the entire coun-
try. The burden would fall upon the
taxpayer. The proceeds of the bounty
would go into the vaults of few gold
producing concerns. The payment of
the bounty would tend to increase the
production of a commodity whose sup
ply is already so great, relative to the
demand that its value, measured by its
purchasing power over wholesale COM

Value Percent. Aver.

Here, in little more than a quarter
of century, is three-fold increase
in the worlds annual production Of
gold. So great has been the production
in recent years that the production
from 1890 to 1917, amounting to 9,199
million dollars, has exceeded by 15 per
cent the total estimated production for
the period from 1893 to 1889 (namely,
1885 million dollars). The worlds
total supply of gold to-day is more than
double that of 1890. The demand for
gold has been increasing, but nothing
like as rapidly as the supply, and this
fact has registered itself in the almost
continuous depreciation in the pur-
chasing power of gold from 1896 to
