Name of Secretary of the Treasury
To Appear on Bills for First Time

For the first time In history the name
of the Secretary Of the Treasury will be
placed on United States currency when
the new small-sized bills are issued to
the public at time now estimated ten
tatively as July, 1929.
At the present time the signatures on
the United States currency are those
of the treasurer of the United States
and register of the Treasury. This
has been the custom at least since the
Civil War, following an old law of those
days. Beginning with the new small
sized bills, however, the name of the
Secretary OF the Treasury will supplant
the name OF the register of the Treas
ury. This change has been ordered
under provisions of the Revised Statutes

You read so much in the papers about extraordinary

in no wise notable.
/ hope that this consciousness does not make You
sad. There seems to be a certain giamor about being
notable and eminent. but there certainly are compen-
sations attached To the state % being ordinary. The
ordinary American makes a pretty good living, has
family contacts that are steady and comforting, and
is endowed with enough brains and enterprise to carry
on his own existence without too much friction.

IMMIGRANT STOCK IN PRESIDENTS
Springfield Republican,.

ARHAlhAAA~iA AhIfAh'NehN'
1t is erroneous to say that Governor Smith is the
first candidate Of a major party for the presidency
who is bat one remove from foreign-born, immigrant
parents. Woodrow wilson's mother was born and
reared in England.
But Andrew Jackson was in the fullest sense in
the same class that Governor Smith Is. His father and
mother were both Immigrants from ireland. They
came here in 1865 and established a home in the will
derness Of the Carolinas. The father died before the
son saw the light in the frontier cabin. President
Jackson, was reared in poverty and hardship. Governor
Smith, in comparison, was reared IN comfort. Jackson
had virtually no school education whatever; Smith hal
the schooling Of an average New York City boy Of q
generation ago, stopping short Of the college course.
III Smith now repeats in some degree Jackeon's
achievement Of reaching the presidency, the similarity
between their careers will consist largely in the fact
that each represented the lower strata Of American de-
mocracy which included the more recent immigration
Of the time. Many would stress this difference, that
Jackson represented a frontier and rural democracy,
while the democracy smith represents is distinctiveiy
urban. But this is a difference arising out Of the
changed conditions iii the settlement "a the country.
