Reaching out from this tremendous
center were the directorates--the web
strands--into commercial banks, into
utilities, into railroads, into indus
tries, into streetcar lines; into every
phase of the nations manufacturing
and business lot.
Commercial banks have to make
reports; private bankers do not. So,
at the center of the web is secrecy
What goes on no man knoweth. Nor
does any man know how much of
whose money is used, nor what are
the profits.
Among other secrets are the sad
stories of loans to Peru, Columbia,
Cuba, probably tangled with polictis,
faced with default, steep in misrep-
resentation. At the heart of the big
system, secrecy. iAutocracy in the
midst of democracy
More about banks. Came the NOR
atorium, as the dramatists would say.
Or, came the holiday.
Came then the re-opening. Certain
banks re-opened. Certain others did
not
Probably most of those that did not
weren't SO good.
But probably some of them were
good. Will there yet be ringing scan
dial about the re-opening? This
writer votes, probably yes. So do
many others. In one big city it al
ready brews.
But regardless of that, the future
of Wall street is clouded. There will
be a change of rules. And smaller
bankers, mighty honest in the main,
| will no doubt be freed from lot of
the cold-blooded control Wall street
has exercised.
1t was Wall street that choked rot

throats Of small banks and their Gus
toners. Don't send those guys to
Jail; send them to exile, as did the
| Greeks of old.
But give not too many cheers for
! any new freedom. There will be a
change of rules. Maybe some divorces
of banks from "affiliates," etc.
However, limitation is the best that
can happen. New rules. Some old
old practices stopped. But the big
boys will go on getting theirs, by
one route or another
The people are not well enough in
formed; probably not yet mad enough;
their leaders not yet bold enuogh.
Be that as it may, what is gained
will be to the good. Every measure
of fakery and autocratic domination
that is stopped is that much gain.
We may seem to move slowly; his
tory will probably say we moved rap
| idly toward genuine freedom. Strug-
giles always seem shorter after they
are over.
Today's battle through mud and
muck is tomorrow's jovial reminis-
cence.

Don't Stop Buying. Seals
just Because Sale Is Over

A final message to those who have
not yet responded to the Christmas
seals sent out during December is be-
ing broadcast through the state press
by Mrs. r. G. McCredie, of Sunnyside,
state chairman of the sale for the
Washington Tuberculosis Association
During the twenty two years that
Christmas seals have been sold in our
state" said Mrs. McCredie, "the need
for tuberculosis work has never been
greater than now. Our chest clinic
service through which hundreds of per-
sons with tuberculosis are discovered
annually may be seriously hampered
for lack of funds during 1888 The
same is true of the other branches
of the program. The situation is seri-
GUS and it's solution rests largely in
seals yet outstanding.
eff all who have not yet made re-
turns on their seals will send in money
if possible, it will help bridge the gap
between what has been received and
what is needed. If organizations and
generous individuals wish to make do
nations to the association to assure
the continuance this year of these vi
tally important activities, they will be
gratefully received. We know that
money invested in the prevention of
tuberculosis today will bring rich re-
turns tomorrow in lives saved. I APP
peal to every thinking person to give
this emergency most serious considera-
tion."
Returns to date are about twenty-five
per cent below last year, which were
considerably less than In 1880, ac-
cording to officials of the organization.

THE AMERICAS CUP

launched new racing yacht, the Velshe-
da, which is expected to compete for the
famous Americas Cup, won first on Aug
ust %, 1861, when the America defeated
the English Aurora. and kept on this side
of the Atlantic ever since.
This original contest for the covet-
ed trophy was single race, as was the
second in 1870 when the American Magic
defeated the English Cambria Since then
the contests have been decided by the best
two out of three races. or the best three out
of five.
To date Is British challengers have
tried unsuecessfully TO wrest the cup from

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Within short time it is likely that
the Library Of Congress in Washington will
become the greatest in the world, il not
SO already. I'm the number of printed
books it is surpassed by the Public Library
in Leningrad, Russia, butit has many more
treasures in the way of maps, charts, mu-
sic and pictures of every description.
The Library of Congress was estab-
Iished in 1890, but was destroyed when
the British burned the capitol IN 1914. &c
was started again by the purchase by Con-
gress Of ex-President Thomas Jeffefson's
private library of 6,76o volumes for $23,-
$50.
Additions were made from time to
time, but another fire in 1851 destroyed
about 81, 900 volumes. This loss was
partly replenished through purchase and
donations until the library now has more
than 4,477, 900 volumes, more than a mil
lion maps, charts and views, more than a
million pieces of music, and half million
photographs, prints, engravings and htho-
graphs.
The growth of the library has been
greatly fastened by the operation of the
law which requires copies of all copy
righted books and other material TO be de-
posted there.
Priceless treasures in the way of rare
books and manuscripts gathered from all
parts of the world, with floor space Of
more than Ia acres. In it are kept the
originals of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and the Constitution of the United
States, with thousands of other historical
documents.
The Library Of Congress is open to
the public every day in the year except
Fourth of July and Christmas, and is visit
ed by many thousands annually Every
American who possibly can should visit it.

THE ICE PATROL

1t sometimes takes great disaster to
awaken community or a nation to the
fact that known menace to life and prop
telligent action. Such was the lesson of
the Titanic, sunk through collision with an
iceberg on April IA, 1912, with loss of
1,517 lives.
This shocking tragedy of the sea
aroused a demand for precautionary mea-
snres, resulting in the formation of the in
ternational ice patrol to watch for and re-
port locations of ieebergs in the north At
lantic steamer lanes during the dangerous
season of each year which is in the late
spring and early summer
Ten nations joined in bearing the ex-
pense, the patrol duty being performed
by the United States Coast Guard cutters
This patrol has been maintained each year
since the Titanic disaster, with the excep-
ton of two years during the war
Two cutters are employed each year,
using Halifax as base, and they send out
information of icebergs sighted, this infor-
nation being transmitted by radio to all
vessels in the danger zone. Captains of
vessels of all nations cooperate by report
ing to the ice patrol any icebergs sighted
by them, this data also being broadcast by
radio twice daily.
In the 20 years since the ice patrol
was established not single life has been
lost nor single ship damaged through col
lision with icebergs. Truly fine record.

SENATE PROBES
DIFFERENT NOW
FROM OLD DAYS
INVESTIGATION OF MORGAN
HOUSE CONSIDERED TAME
AFFAIR IN COMPARISON TO
FORMER YEARS
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
eskss !s~SsssIateA a.rse..s

WASHINGTON. June 2.In-.
vestigation of the House Of Nor
gan has demonstrated SO far that
senatorial inquisitions have be-
come rather tame affairs conpar-
ed to what they were in former
days.
What would have happened had
the heads of this great financial
house been called before senate
committee in the days of Tom
Walsh of Montana; of Thad Cara
way of Arkansas; or of Jim Reed
OF Missouri
Of course, no one can say for
certain. The country has under
gone great change since those
men "waded into. witnesses,
scorning advice of leniency. 1t,
too, must be remembered that the
Washes, the Reeds and the Cara
ways We're democrats, and the
democratic party, when these men
participated in the earlier inves-
LEGATIONS, was the minority party.
All Good-Humored
! The democrats are in control
now, and with the country facing
an emergency such as it is per-
haps they feel that care must be
exercised.
Thus you see senate investi-
CATION which at one time might
have been really a storm center
going merrily along its way with
everybody apparently in good hui
NOR.
There has been very little
harshness displayed in the investi-
CATION. Mr.. Morgan has sat
in the crowded and hot commit
tee room, beanaing at times and
evening chuckling.
The senators comprising the
committee have shown little dis.
position ITO go after Morgan and
his partners with hammer and
tongs great finaneiers have
at times been handled in such in
quifies.
The investigation is sensation
al, of course. But that's probab-
IL due to the fact that the Iionse
of Morgan is being investigated.
Nest disclosures about that firm
would be news worthy of them
selves.
