McAdoo Against Himself.

MR.. MCADOO's criticism Of what he calls
1u -Handing Deflation" is given the lie by his
eral months before Mr.. Harding became president,
Nr. McAdoo wrote a special article for the Man
ufaeturers' Record, of Baltimore, in which he
used these words:
Il am frank to say that I think the policies
thus far pursued with respect 10 credits have
been too drastic, but whether or not / am right,
L am sure that the situation should now be re
viewed in the light of existing conditions. A more
liberal policy about credits should be put into
force in-aedistely. / think that the reserve bank
rates could be prudently reduced"
That language was used while David F. Hous.
ton, a Democrat, was Secretary of the Treasury
and ~ex-officio chairman OF the federal reserve
was vice chairman and w. p. G. Harding, also a
Democrat, was governor Of the board. The board
was overwhelmingly Democratic in its membership.
MI. Harding had not even an indirect influence
over the politics of the board at that time.
But that is not all that Mr.. McAdoo had to
say about the policies of the federal reserve board
in December, 1920. lie declared that:
I'm many parts of the country, especially in the
agricultural districts, credit is almost entirely
wanting, and in many lines of legitimate business
and industry great losses are being sustained be-
cause of the restriction OF credit. The point 1
wish TO impress is that deflation has been car
ried so far and with such rapidity that we must
now reconsider the situation, make an effort to
prevent further distress ard suffering, and bring
about a revival of industry aud confidence.p
1t should be noted that at the time Mr.. McAdoo
wrote those words, the work Of destruction had al
ready been accomplished. yet he now charges the
deflation policy to Mr.. Harding. The
Federal Reserve board remained in Democratic
control until several months after Mr. Harding
had been naugurated and new appointments could
be made and confirmed by the senate.
incidentally, 1t is appropriate to remark that
ar. McAdoo has not only give himself the lie, but
has virtually impeached himself as a faithful pub.
lie servant. He resigned his position as Secretary
OF the Treasury after having conducted the in
flation policies of the federal reserve board. and
left the people at the mercy of his Democratic suc.
Sessors, VINO, according TO his own statements,
Drought industrial chaos and ruin. On the pre-.
text that he needed to go out and make some money.
he quit the job at a crucial moment.
His selfishness then and his dunI;citx NON,
would be sufficient to bar hinr from any future
public trust that required the approval of the
people. '

visited it for long time. He admit ted that he had noticed some funny smells, but his curiosity had not stir red him to an investigation. He of fered the authorities no assistance in unearthing the mystery. That so far as they were informed by him was all he knew about the affair."
 "The case was tried last March at Tombstone. At the last moment Brooks professed to be surprised and distressed at the non-appearance of two witnesses who were coming to ex- onerate him. They were one Michovich and one Bayless. Brooks had not had them supboenaed for they had both told him, he said that they would be at the trial to explain to the jury and the court that the still were their property, that Brooks had nothing to do with them and knew nothing about them"
 When he was asked why he had not not taken steps to compel their at tendance at court, Brooks said that since they had promised on their own
 
 motion to be there, he did not think that they would lie down to him about little thing like that. The court did not believe that the two .bootleggers could be expected to come into court of their own volition and put their necks in a moose just out of their sense of justice. The judge was in clined to regard the story as fishy.'
 There was some testimoney to the effect that there had been men of that name and that they had occu- pied the roo where the stills were found But the witnesses said that they had not seen them for long per iod preceding the discovery of the lay out and it was the general impression that they had long since left Bisbee. One witness however said that he had seen them recently in the vicinity of the house shortly before the raid. But that testimony did not impress the court and he denied a motion by the defendant for continuance until these witnesses could be located"

 Additional papers in the case of J. l.. Brooks appellant against the state, respondent from Cochise County, have lately been filed in the supreme court. They reveal a beautiful, but abused, trust in human nature, by the appel lant, Brooks. Brooks who is a large property owner of Bisbee was arrested on charge of bootlegging. The prose cution grew out of the discovery of a couple of stills and other evidences of the illicit manufacture of intoxicating liquors in building owned by him and one room of which was occupied by him."
 When Brooks was arrested be de nied all knowledge of the existence of the stills. He said he did not know what was in the room as he had not
