writer in the country who has under
taken a defense Of the federal re-
serve system, and those who have in
sisted upon it have been posted as
fanatics, fools and wild theorists.
Yet here is the greatest Of the fed
eral reserve banks, the most profit
able regional bank in the country,
the only bank that has dared droject
a s25,0OO,OOO building because OF its
excessive surplus, calmly presenting
as correct the theory that currency
volume must be sufficiently drastic
to conform to the volume of business
to be done.
The same principle was involved in
the law creating the national bank
system, and had always been the ba-
sus of state bank circulation before
it's enactment. That the principle
has miscarried is not always the
fault of the principle, but of its ap-
plication. Under the old state banks
there was a multiplicity of note is
sues, none of which was a legal ten
der outside of its own jurisdiction.
The assistance they might give To-
cally was ended under the national
bank act, which imposed a prohibitive
tax on other currency issues.
National banks were limited to an
issue not exceeding their capital
stock and by the confinement of the
circulation privileg eto certain gov
eminent obligations, so the intended
elasticity was lacking from the start.
Similar jokers in the federal re-
serve act have made possible the ar
bitrary acts of the federal reserve
board which have had such tragic
results to agriculture, industry and
commerce. To quote again:
apart from notes secured by OBJ
Legations of the government, which
have become widely available on ac-
count of the issues of bonds and
notes to finance the war, the paper
represents agricultural products or
other goods in the process of produc-
ton or in movement from producer
to retailer, in process of export or
import, or on the shelves of retailer
or wholesaler awaiting sale."

With Other Editors
"a DANIEL COME TO JUDO
MENT."


The Federal Reserve bank Of New
York, evidently taking heed of the
criticism of the management of the
system, has issued an argument
which, with but slight alteration
warrants all that has been said
against it. gs
To read it's statements without
knowledge of, its source would lead
to the reasonable inference that. a
disciple of the new theories of money
and its functions-new only in the
sense that a revival of discussion
makes them so, since the older advo-
Gates have periodically been ridiculeo
into silence-had written the thesis
The ground taken is sound, but the
argument itself is not consistent with
the facts. In one respect fatal de-
feet occurs: Credit is not given the
backing of the United States and its
pledge to maintain a parity for ev-
cry reserve and reserve bank note.
"The federal reserve act in pre-
scribing the security. behind federal
reserve notes introduced a new prin-
ciple into our currency system. 1t
specifies security which is sound
and at the same time increases and
decreases automatically with the
business and agricultural needs of
the country" 49,.
No doubt that was the intent of
those who were persuaded into the
the passage of the law, but the pro-
posal of congress is not always the
disposal of the real rulers. Before
showing how this very principle,
whic his not exactly new, is misap-
piled, the reader is invited to read
the extract carefully. In it is an en-
dorsement Of the theory of the neces-
sity of maintaining a currency vol
ume equal to the demands of bust
ness and ,agriculture-and this is the
basis of every demand for monetary
reform. This necessity has been rid
iculed as unsound by every financial

him. The trouble with this state
ment is that it goes throughout the
country and some people are misled
by it. They are misled into believ-
ing that there is saving of $112,-
100000, now increased to $135, 000,-
600, when there is not any saving,
and, as matter of fact, it is only
saving on paper. 1t is nothing but
political saving; it will never re-
lieve the taxpayer.
"Then there is the Panama Canal
Why, my friends, he has saving in
here of $19,674 in the original appro-
priation for digging a canal from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, appro-
priated when the proposition was
first urged for digging canal from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. He
says it is saved because it was not
spent this year. How could it be
spent? In what way could he dig a
canal from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc ocean for $4,000? The money
could be spent for no other purpose.
For years it has been on the books,
and if it is on the books, then he has
saved it this year.
"Then we have censorship for for
eign mails in the Panama Canal Zone
where we have saved $53,205 this
year. Evidently he has not heard
that the espionage act is no more,
and we could not spend it. Because
it was not spent and could not be
spent, the Director Of the Budget
says he saved $4,000. And the
worst of it all is he seems to have
induced the President to believe it,
and he has given circulation to these
absurd claims of savings.
"Why, we are going to save $751;
100000 in the Treasury Department
in the Supervising Architects office.
On what? On public buildings. Back
in 1918 we passed public building
bill, and because they can not get
anybody to take contracts for some
buildings for the amount of money
then appropriated, on account of the
increased cost, it remains on the
books. Therefore we have saved
$19,000,000 because we can not get
anybody to take the contract until
we enact legislation increasing the
limit of cost.
"Now, as to the Department of
State. There is an alleged saving of
little over a million dollars. The
largest single item is 100000 pay
ment to Columbia under the treaty
of 1909. In other words, back in
1909, $750,00O, was appropriated. Co.
lombia refused to accept it. Direc-
tor Dawes says it is saved this year.
If it was a saving this year, it has
been a saving every year for the past
IL years, and we have saved $4,000
600 out of this $750,00O fund.
District of Columbia. Now, this
statement of General Dawes would
be a joke book if it were not serious
in its effort to mislead the public.
There is saving of 100000 for
whct? War emergency improve
ments. One hundred thousand dol
lars was appropriated for the Dis
trict of Columbia to repair streets
around the Army and Navy buildings
constructed during the war. The
Treasury could not pay out a dollar
of it after the end of the war. 1t
was not spent during the war under
the Democratic administration, they
didn't spend a dollar of it, and it re-
mains on the books. General Dawes
says he has saved it this year when
there could not have been dollar
of it paid out of the Treasury an any
voucher. Who did he save it from?

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY.

We are a witness daily of the eff
fort that is made to conceal by ar
tificial means the advance of age and
the marks it leaves on the body. But
why should we conceal it, or, rather,
try to conceal it? Men and women
alike manifest in this way their fool
ish worry about growing old. If such
effort deceived anyone it might be
worth while, but for the most partit
only serves to make more manifest
what is sought to be concealed. Is it
not better to grow old naturally, CIV
ing thought to growing old graceful
ly, striving to preserve youth from
within rather than to prevents its
counterfeit without? Of all the van
tiles none is so vain as that which
prompts men and women fearing to
be old to masquerade in the likeness
Of youth.
Growing old is something that is
inevitable. Therefore, we should not
allow the thought of it to become OPP
pressive. The thing to do is to make
the best of it, and especially to stop
worrying about it. That is the way
to peace and contentment, and also to
youth perennial.
"The thought of growing DID," it
has been said, sis chiefly oppressive
to those who never grow anything
else" Busy people who are striving
to create or achieve have little time
to borrow trouble about growing old
or to study crows feet in the mirror.
Worrying about growing old is
among the most foolish of worries.
The way not to become old is to re-
frain from worrying about it. That
is not to say some thought should not
be given to the. problem of growing
old, for it is a problem. Growing old
is one of the m ost certain things in
life; therefore, it is important that
we should grow old in the right way.
There is a way to grow old graceful
ly; way to grow Old without SEEM
ing to be old; way to grow old and
still be useful in spirit and purpose;
way to grow old and retain glad
ness in living. Likewise, there is, a
wrong way to grow old; way to
make the increasing years burden
some and the sunset of life wretched
and clouded; a way to be old and
crabid in mind as well as in body.
Physical old age is in accordance with
an Interchangeable law of nature, but
to be old in spirit is no more than a
state of mind, mental attitude,
Physical old age cannot be stayed,
but the preservation of mental and
spiritual youth is wholly matter of
the will. 1t all depends upon how it
occupies the mind, what use one
makes of ones energies, time and
opportunities. 1t all depends upon
the appetite one has for life. upon
the interest that one retains in life.
If life be ever regarded as an adven-
ture one will have no time to think of
growing old. Old age never becomes
oppressive to one who is able to feel
at the dawning of each new day the
thrill of life and living. The truth
is that life is a wonderful adventure.
Death has been described as the
great adventure. The possibilities of

ID. c. RESIDENT ACCUSED
OF VIOLATING MANN ACT
| Department, Of Justice Bureau Chief
Causes Arrest-Preliminary Hear
ing Set for Tomorrow.

A campaign against violation of the
Mann act by certain hackers and
women in this city has been inaugu-
rated by William j. Burns, chief of
the bureau Of investigation of the
Department Of Justice, it was learned
today.
The first case already is ready for
preliminary presentation, Mr.. Burns
announced, following the arrest. last
night of George Edward Harding,
thfrty-four, of 1921 11th street, by
Department of Justice operatives and
Detectives Kelly and Scrivener of
headauarters, aided by Hack In
spector Thayer.
Harding was released on $4,000
bonds. and his case was to have
come up this morning before United
States Commissioner George H. Mac
Donald in the McLachlen building.
but the hearing was postponed until
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The
warrant on which Harding was ar
rested, according to the police,
charged violation of the Mann white
slave act.
The alleged violation, according to
officials. occurred last May. when a
party of five men were on a trip to
Benedict, Md, when it is charged
that Harding phoned to this city for
similar number of women to join
the party. Within an hour, police
state, the women are alleged to have
been en- route to the Maryland fish
ing resort.
Mr.. Burns said today that the bu-
reau of investigation had inaugural
ed campaign against such prac-
tices, with particular attention to the
alleged conduct of certain hackers.
1t was made clear that the impli-
cations were not made to extend to
the hackers of the city as a class.
but the attention of the department
has been directed against only a GER
tain number against whom evidence
is now said to be in the process of
collection.
This practice must be eliminated
as far as the government is con-
cerned," Mr.. Burns said. "And it
will be. This is the first case of a
campaign against such alleged prac-
tees"
