Senator La Toilette

The defeat Of United States Senator La Toilette
for re-eecton is predicted in word which comes from
Wisconsin. II it not that We have heard
similar predictions from the for the last
ten years would feel greater interest in the
story OF the weakened hold OF the senator upon the
people whom he has controlled long. And per-
hads 1t has weakened. It is strange that man
who has come into q position In which he
longer his state should be able to hold its al
legiance. and that is the position of Senator La
Toilette. He is alone and friendless in the senate.
He has opposed nearly everything that majority Of
either the republicans the democrats in congress
has stood for. He has set his individual judgment
OF representatives and senators who in large way
are as able and sincere he He is without
a party and man is strong enough to accomplish
anything without party. Senator La Toilette can
point to no accomplishment within the last ten
years.
There would seem to be an end OF the period in
which Wisconsin would stand to be without influ-
ential representation in the senate. Perhaps the
people of Wisconsin six years would have chosen
e successor to Mr.. La Toilette but the machine
strong enough then to maintain him as it had been
strong enough since he organized the Hall Breeds"
against the staiwarts. to promote him.
The story from Wisconsin though brings the
word that the La Toilette machine is disintegratng
and that new leader is being sought. who lives
in the present and not in the past.

Which 10 the Worse?

Within the last week lynchings of negroes have
taken place in several southern states At least two
of the victims burned at the stake These
currences punched to time that they have
been regarded wave" epidemic" OF lynchng
and in consequence there has been much adverse
comment.
And it is all deserved There is no other civil
lized country-{on second thought delete and
strike out the word "other.)-there is civilized
country where such things are practced. AS long
as we permit them we can make no claim to civiza-
tion which other countries will recognize.
But our neghbors think will agree that some
parts OF our country may be regarded civilized
parts where there lynchings. But is lynchng
the worst of practices! We think it Is not. There
is another that tends to disorder and
observance of the law and it is confined to
section OF the country. but is widely disseminated
throughout the United States is the treatment of
homicide by juries.
The other day young man was tried in New
York for the murder of former friend The de-
Tense provocaton. Now in other country is
provocation regarded defense. Any accused
murderer may plead provocation just he may pre-
pare himself to plead intoxication which is specf

The New York homicide deliberately

is going all the country Last week man,
Arizona official who had killed bootiegger, it

cargo Of whiskey, was acquitted second trial.
Almost everywhere in America maudlin 3uries
freeing murderers pretexts instead of evidence
All this is much demoralizng to society
than lynchng. Lynchers take the law into their
hands for the punishment OF crime and pos
sibly there is deterrent effect. Anyway the whole
procedure is irregular and society is freed from

But when the sentimental New York jury acquit-

by law. and therefore regular the act which
condemn when committed in lynchngs-the taking
OF the law into ones own hands
The result of the trial lacked the deterrent effect
OF lynching. and the contrary gave encourage
ment to homicide and shattered respect for the law.
We do not believe that this country will ever
gain the orderly and law-a abiding nations

has stopped up Of the loopholes OF system
which are ingenously contrived for the escape Of
criminals.

The Value of Paper

, has kept in reserve against all the
notes outstanding an amount of act
ual gold equal to 40 per cent of their
value. This process is going on con-
stantly all over the United States.
the loans being made and repaid over
and over again. When business is
brisk more money is borrowed. and
when dull less money. These notes
are issued only when the brisllness of
business creates demand, and they
are paid back when things get dull
Thus there is always enough curren-
cy to meet business demands. and
never too much. This is what eco
omits call an elastic currency. and
the United States now has the most
elastic currency in the world. There
are II federal reserve banks and
about $4,000 local banks. These So
called member banks all have the
right to borrow notes and put them
into circulation.
Another form of paper currency in
the United States is the national
bank note. 1t is not elastic. A ma
tional bank takes an amount of
Government bonds which it owns to
theTreasury at Washington and de-
posits them there. Then it may take
in exchange for them circulating
money notes which are called ma
tional bank notes. These are printed
at the bureau of printing and engrav-
ing for the national banks and
shipped to them. They then issue
them over their counters in the
course OF the days business.
Different Kinds of Bills
Also there are between three and
four hundred million dollars in
greenbacks outstanding. These have
no actual security behind them ex-
cepting the promise of the United
States to redeem them on demand.
But this promise is considered so
good that a greenback dollar is con-
sidered to have just as much value
as any other kind. These are printed
at Washington also, but only enough
to renew old, worn out or mutilated
notes. No new greebacks. that is no
additional amounts, have been issued
since the Civil War.
Gold certificates are issued by the
treasury through the government
payrolls, at the paying tellers' win
dows at the Treasury. and in pay
ments of interest on the public debt.
These are a convenience form of cur
rency. For every one in circulation
there is either a silver dollar or a
gold dollar at the Treasury ready for
the holder of the note whenever he
demands It..
AS the use of the federal reserve
note increases the national bank
notes will go out of use. Also the
treasury notes and the gold and silver
certificates will likely cease to be
used
This smooth working system of
getting paper money into circulation
and keeping it up to par is confined
now to the United States Other
countries all over the world have de-
preciated currency They have is
sued so many notes with SO small a
quantity of either gold or goods be-
hind them that their people have
lost confidence in the value of the
bits of paper. Therefore a confer
ence of banks of issue, that is CEN
trail banks like the federal reserve
banks. which have the power of is
suing paper money. is necessary This
conference will try to get the whole
world back TO plan as good as the
American plan.

There will be an annual convention of the Az.

Though until comparatively recently churches
