A NEW CUP DEFENDER

Plans are being made for another
ica's Cup, first won in a race with the
British vessel Aurora on August %, 1851.
Since that time Is British challengers
have sought to lift the cup, but all have
failed.
Thomas o. NJ Sopwith of England,
whose yacht Endeavour gave the Amer
lean defender Rainbow a close call in
1884, is again the challenger, and the
races will probably be sailed next August
The new American cup defender will
be built by Harold S. Vanderbilt, who was
the Rainbow's skipper in the 1884 races,
and also captain of the victorious Enter
prise in 1880. The new vessel will be the
most expensive racing boat ever built, its
cost being estimated at about 100000,
borne entirely by Mr.. Vanderbilt.
This will be the first defender in
dividually owned in so years, the others
having been built by syndicates of sports
men. 1t will be designed by w. Startling
Burgess, who also designed the Rainbow
and the Enterprise. General specifica-
tions for the two cOntending vessels will
be drawn, as usual, by the cup committee
of the New York Yacht Club.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is perhaps the worlds
greatest yachtsman, and his admising
countrymen will have confidence in his
ability to win again, as he did in 1880 and
1884.

RATS COST $500, 900, 900 a YEAR

The average housekeeper of this coun-
try may be inclined to dismiss the presence
of few mice in the house, and the aver
age farmer may look upon the rats in his
barns as an evil not to be banshed but
when you think of the enormous loss in
fllcted upon the people of this country by
these rodents it would seem that everyone
would do his and her part to drive these
pests away.
1t is estimated by the u. S. Biological
Survey that rats cause an annual loss of
$2OO,00O,OOO each year in this country.
They do enormous damages in the homes,
stores, factories and also ravage the barns
on the farms. 4
According to the authorities who have
studied the best ways to prevent this toll
temporary measures of rat control include
the use of poisons, traps and deadly gases.
These devices merely eliminate the ami
mails for a short time and do not prevent
others from reinfesting premises. Never
theleSS, temporary measures are the first
consideration in dealing with the rat
problem. Permanent control consists pri-
marily in depriving rats of one or both in
their necessities of life-fOod and shelter.
"Attention to such community rat
breeding places as garbage dumps and city
abattoirs will keep down the rat popula-
tion,'' says the survey in recent bulletin.
Every community interested in prevent
ing disease epidemics that may possibly
be spread by rats should make it a point
to provide for proper maintenance of
dumps and similar places for garbage and
refuse disposal. Changes in the con-
struction of buildings can be effected to
make them rat-proof and building codes
of cities and towns can require rat proof
construction

CASTING IN ON VICE

Somehow we never could quite follow
the idea that supposedly reformed crook
was the ideal character for soul-savine
activities, but many seem to think other
wise.
In an issue of southern newspaper
appeared an account of the former career
of an evangelist, one Rev. Percente, whose
principal stock in trade seems to be his
unsavory past record. The article, doubt
less inspired by the reverend gentleman
himself, gives . rather boastful narrative
of his former sins. laA=a
1t declared that he has been a saloon
keeper, prize. fighter, bootlegger, and
the operator of gambling house. After
completing a penitentiary sentence for
violating the prohibition laws, he got re-
ligion and entered the ministry.
Now if the gentleman's reformation
is real and sincere, his past record should
not be held against him. But why should
he drag that record into print? The only
reasonable answer is that he is trying to
surround himself with cheap glamour, in
order to attract the attention of the moron
element which delights in clarifying past
and present criminals.

that the current proposals to intro
duce the commodity dollar take two
principal forms: One Is to attempt TO
control the price level by changing
the paper money price of gold through
its purchase and sale in the world
markets. The other is to change the
weight of the gold dollar domestically
for the purpose of obtaining an IN
crease or decrease in the domestic
supply of currency. This latter pro-
posal is that of Professor Irving Fisher
of Yale
Since the Fisher plan is at present
attracting less attention than the IN
ternational gold buying land sellIng)
scheme. we shall examine the falla-
cies of the commodity dollar notion
as they relate principally to the lat
ter proposal. In so far as the fallacIes
found in the international gold buy
ing plan do not also apply 10 the
Fisher proposal the latter will be
gwen specific attention Both plans
have the anne end in view. and the
fallacies of both are substantially the
same.
/. The idea of controlling the price
lGNSl ny PA'~%
for an ounce of gold in the world mar
kets is an attempt to apply the un-
sound Warren gold buying scheme
which so many of us supposed had
been generally discredIted.
Ii may ,e recalled that the Federal
government permitted Professor War
rem Gacting through the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation and later
the Federal Reserve Bank OF New
York; to oegin raising the price oil
newly mined domestic gold on Oc-
tober %. 1888. and to continue dolne
this until the price was fixed at S3a
per fine ounce on January 81. 1884
On October %. 1888. the price was
s2959 per ounce. b. January 16. 1894
it reached S34!45. and so remained un-
til the price was fixed at S35 on jan
uarv 81.
These changes did not control the
domestic price level. And here is the
proof:

The Key West Sunday Star says that
students of Biblical prophecy are watch
ing events in England with interest. Ac-
cOrding to some of the forecasts, Edward
was to be the last king, The Star adds.
That comedies with what his grandfather
said concerning the then Prince of Wales.
successor to the throne: "You will be the
last king of England" Maybe so, but not
believing much in prophecies, the convic-
ton of this column is there will be other
kings of Great Britain long after the NOR
tai coil of Edward VIII has crumbled into
dust. 1t is possible there will be some
queens in between; we came near forget
ting the female of the species.

dollar price OF an ounce
5ntrols the price level. then
brice level could not have changeo
nom 1897 to March. 1888. when we
slipped off the gold standard. Tor the
reason that we never changed tne
price of gold during this entire period
texcepting only the Greenback Pc
riod, 1862 1879. in which we were on
a paper money basisD. Yet we had
vide swings in the price level from
1897 to 1862. and from 1879 to 1888.
This simple fact should be sufficient
in itself to demonstrate that the price
level is not, and cannot be. controlled
by the Treasury's price for gold
tb) If the Treasury's price for gold
controls the price level. then the price
level could not have changed after
January 81. 1884. az which time the
President fixed the price at S35 per
ounce.
Has the price level changed since
then? OF course it has. For January.
1884. the average of wholesale prices
was 1872 tusing 1926 as 1000: IN Sep
TENDER. 1884. il was 776: IN Deem
Der. 1895. it was 300: by September.
1896. it was g. In short wholesale
prices rose Is per cent from January.
1884. to September. 1886. while the
price of gold was fixed. Therefore. the
price of gold did not control the price
level.
(c) Did the changing price of gold
during the Warren regime control the
price level? 1t did not. From October
to December, 1888. the price of gold
was raised from S29 So on October %.
to S34O6 from December l8 TO Janu-
airy Is The wholesale price level for
October was II 2; for December il was
708.
2. If the price of gold determines
the price level. as asserted by the
commodity dollar advocates. then all
other factors. such as the supply Of
and demand for particular commodi-
ties. can have no controlling effect
on the average of prices Such an as
sumption ught to be obviously alb
surd. but apparently II is not to the
commodity dollar advocates.
Let us look at some simple facts.
The price level tumbled from 963 in
October. 1929. to 59.8 in February.
1888. and yet our price OF gold did
noe change during this period. Does
not common sense suggest that fac
tors other than the price of gold
caused the fall in prices during this
period? II the price of gold can con-
troll the price level then it follows
that widespread drought or q war.
or bumper crops. or a general eXpan-
sion of business activity. or collapse
in the stock market. or an agricul-
turaI program for raising prices. or
credit imitation which does not change
the price of gold. can not control the
price level. To assume any such thing
is palpably absurd. And yet this is one
of the unrecognized assumptions of
the commodity dollar advocates.
