DEFEATING THE RANK OF NORTH DAKOTA
The process Of Debating the Bank Of North Dakota
10 going on. and the recent bank statement indicates,
that considerable progress is being made. And it is all
coming to pass without the plunging> of the state into
a panic, such as was threatened by the bank officials
just a short time ago.
The men in charge of the state institution had
ample notice of what they would be required to do. Until
the election of last fall it was not certain that the law
requiring the deposit Of local public funds in the Bank
OF North Dakota would be passed. But there was q
strong probability Of it, and if the men in charge OF the
bank had been prudent men, and interested in protect
ing the credit and the financial interests Of the state. they
would have begun, even before election, to prepare for
the possibility of the adoption of this law, 50 that, If 1t
should be adopted. the transition from the old system
to the new could have been accomplished as smoothly
as possible.
Instead of doing this, they did not prepare even
after the result of the election became known. They
sought to delay the declaration Of the result, and mean
while. no change whatever. was made in the conduct OF
the banks business in anticipation of the change which
had become one OF the requirements of the law. This
policy was continued as long as 1T was possible to con-
tinuc it, and when the inevitable Had been reached, the
state was threatened with a raid on it, entire banking
system, in the hope that the people, driven into a state
of panic. would consent to a reinstatement of the state
bank and the continuation of Its former methods. The
threat proved to be an empty one. The attempts to carry
it out caused some little embarrassment insa few places.
but the private banks generally provedSequal Ito the
emergency, and the state officials have evidently given
up the sandbag plan as hopeless.

THE TRAP EyADED

Forsign comment en- the exchange or.notes between
this. country and Germany on the subject Of German
indicates a feeling OF profound satisfaction
in the Allied countries over the attitude of the United
States, There is practical ,unanimity in the. interpreta-
ton of the German proposal. namely, that it was a trap
set for the purpose of catching the United States. and
thereby separating this country from the others which
were associated with it in the waa If President Hard
Ing had consented to act as umpire in a dispute between
the European Allies and Germany that fact would neces-
sarily have set the United States apart from the other
nations, and there was always the chance that an oner
by the president to act in this capacity would have been
rejected by the Allies, in = hch case there would have
been ensendered a spirit OF irritation the result of which
would have been to align the United States and Germany
on one side of the controversy and the Allies on the
other. All Of this has been avoided by the attempt and
decisive action Of the president and secretary Of state.
There ID gossip to the effect that the American
reply was approved by representatives of the Allied
governments before it was sent. That fact, if it could
be established, would call forth protests against those
of pro-German proclivities among US and a display OF
indignation that representatives Of foreign governments
were permitted to censor our official correspondents. The
public has no means of knowing whether or not the Tor
eign representatives knew anything about the note before
it was dispatched. If the report is correct the case ID
merely one In which a very common custom was fol-
lowed. Correspondence which has an important bearing
on the interests of other nations quite often has the
approval Of several governments before it is dispatched
by any one Of them, and this may be the situation now
At any rate. Mr.. Hughes states in few and simple words
that the president will not act as umpire, but That II
Germany has anything to say that is to the point, this
government will communicate the German proposals to
the othsr governments in a manner acceptable to them

PARLIAMENTARY METHODS.

In a recent magazine article, Senator Lodge discusses
in his usual interesting way a number Of questions per-
tanning to the character and functions of our government,
and to the operation of our parliamentary or congressional
system. He discusses the relative powers and duties Of
the two houses of congress and points out that the senate
in many cases operates as a brake on legislation, thus CIV
ing time for full consideration of subjects which might
otherwise be hurried through. He notes a decided ten
dency Just at present to question the wisdom of retaining
this form, and admits the incontrovertible fact that the
elimination of the senate would tend to facilitate legisla-
stion.. He does not favor such a change because he be-
laeyes that the influence OF a body such as the senate is
needed to preserve the proper balance in the government,
and to give suitable time for the careful consideration
of rsallyimportant questions. He points out tina. in the
ssrly days of the nation the single legislative chamber
$50 II was actually tried. Franklin. among others. ad-

ROGER BACON.

That the spirit of Roger Bacon should communicate
knowledge to the sons of men six hundred years after his
death would have been regarded as no strange thing to
many people OF his own generation for they regarded the
English monk and philosopher as possessed of secrets Of
which no mortal should be aware. and were firmly con-
v1nced that he had gained this knowledge as the price OF
a compact with Satan. We of a later generation smile
at the mental attitude which attributes to the practice of
necronancy the possession of unusual knowledge of the
laws of nature, but a feeling perhaps somewhat akin to
thirteenth century superstition is ensendered by the
thought Of the message of this remarkable man, hidden
all these years, being now brought to light and interpreted.
What are represented to be ancient manuscripts. writ
ten in cipher, are always to be received with strong re-
serve. Such documents have often been found to be
forged, sometimes very skillfuly. But documents in
cipher, alleged to have been written by Roger Bacon have
been partly deciphered by an American scientist, and his
description of them has received respectful attention from
q society of eminent scientific men in Philadelphia.
According to the statements made. and which seem to
be credited. these cipher writings contain records of dis
coveries made by Roger Bacon, but which he dared not
make public for fear that other prosecutions would be add
ed to those which he had already suffered, Hence he
wrote hisrecord in a form which could not be interpreted
by his contemporaries but which has at last yielded to
pzinstakinE analysis and. research.
Roger Bacon was q. student Of the natural sciences
and a philosopher. In many respects he was . sort OF
thirteenth century Benjamin Franklin. Not even Frank
lin was more versatile, for Bacon made himself master
of knowledge of every conceivable kind. He was versed
in chemistry physics, biology. astronomy, and. in general,
in all the lore of his time. Not content with acquiring
the knowledge common to the most learned men Of his
time. he investigated for himself, and came to know more
than II was oeleVeu any II ndn XIII slLAAldtS
Hence he was placed under the ban, and among other
things he is said to have been confined in prison for ten
years without being permitted access to books or writing
materials.
The manuscript now brought forth was among the
family treasures deposited in an Austrian castle, and
much of its interesting history has been traced, although
there are many gaps which will probably never be filled.
The cipher in which it is written is a complicated one, and
its translation will require a long time. But those who
have worked on it thus far say that it Contains evidence
that Bacon had uses, and probably had invented both the
@Efe1eScoDe and the rniCrOScoue and nv their means had &C
quired knowledge which,, in several cases. was not redis-
covered for some hundreds of years.
