THE PRESIDENT’S PRECAUTION
President Wilson proposes to
have something to say about the
activities of the Democratic parly
organization for the next two
years. He has caused a suspen
sion of the meeting of the Dem
ocratic congressional committee
until lie can liml time to formu
late his objections to Ihej selec
tion of Congressman Ben John
son of Kentucky as chairman of
the organization.
The congressional committee is
the chief party organization in off
years. Jl outlines policies and
conducts the campaign for the
election of representatives to con
gress, although the national com
mittee has general charge in
president ial campaigns.
Tin1 election of 111" House next
year will be highly important,
from a political standpoint. Pres
ident Wilson’s tariff bill will be
on trial and his politics before
the people. A Republican gain
of any dimensions in the new
House would be considered as a
rebuke of the administration and
President Wilson is naturally
anxiAus that loyal supporters of
his policies be placed on guard
on the congressional committee.
Representative Ben Johnson is
a retainer of Champ Clark and
a close friend of Leader Under
wood. There is suspicion that
Johnson as chairman of the con
gressional committee might give
life to the dormant presidential
boom, of I.eadeHTnderwood. The
issue is hie enough to have at
tracted the attention of President
Wilson and lie lias shown himself
politician enough to grasp it. The
schoolmaster in politics is not
without sufficient knowledge of
tile game to prevent himself be
ing caught napping.
NEED OF CURRENCY REFORM.
James H. Kurgan, Lhe Chicago
banker, wlm recenlly made a
thorough investigation of the Ca
nadian hanking system, declares
that lhe large' number of i de
pendent, lianks is I lie great source
of weakness In lhe hanking sys
tem in this country. He favors
the Canadian system of great cen
tral hanks with branches in the
various towns of the dominion.
There arc1 disadvantages about
the Canadian plan as well as ad
vantages. II is not likely, for ex
ample. to tiring about Lhe perfect
sympathy between the hank and
its local patrons that character
izes the ordinary country hank on
this side of the boundary.
The Canadian parliament which
is considering certain changes
that will graft features of the
American system onto the Cana
dian, paid Mr. Forgan the com
pliment of summoning him for
advice. This he was well compe
tent to give because of his fa
miliarity with banking condition?
m both countries. Of chief inter
est to us is what he said at Ot
tawa was lids comment on the
weakness of the' American sys
tem :
“Such a wide distribution of
the gold reserves of the country
as is caused by more than 25,000
individual banks, all undertaking
to control and carry their own
shares of it, is unscientific, waste
ful, dangerous and impractical.
The result is that the gold sup
ply which, if mobilized and con
trolled at the financial centers,
would be ample for the protec
tion of all the banks, when dis
tributed into more than 25,000
small piles, under as many sep
arate ownerships, is insufficient
for the individual protection of
any. Not a bank in the lot can
control enough gold to protect
itself against that which all fear
--a run by their depositors—so
they all suspend cash payments
or seriously restrict them, and
panic ensues.”
The Aldrich commission pro
posed to combine these banks in
to reserved associations, to re
lieve the weakness pointed out by
Mr. Forgan. The Aldrich plan
fell Into popular ' disfavor, how
ever, largely because of the po
litical connections of' its author.
Nothing tangible has since been
accomplished in the way of cur
rency and banking reform, but it
is clear when congress finally
lakes the rpiestion up in earnest
some plan of combination will
have to be agreed upon that will
permit the concentration of gold
reserves in such a way as to pre
serve credit.
SOME EXPENSIVE TOYS
Tin* government is I lie biggest
toy buyer in (.he world, silthough
Ihe commerce in toys amounls to
many millions each year. Tin* lit
tle girl must have her doll, the
hoy his wooden horse and the
nation must have its warship
toys.
The toys of tin*, children are
ephemeral things; so are the toys
of the nation. If was announced
the other day that all the vessels
that the government owned at the
breaking out of the trouble in Cu
ba are now worthless and will
he used as targets, as occasion
may arise, to train the gunners
of the modern navy. One would
expect that some of them would
still be useful, hut the sweeping
statement is made that all of Ihe
ships of that era are doomed to
the, scrap heap. This statement
shows that the toys of the gov- |
ernm nt, while exceedingly costly, i
deteriorate almost as quickly as ;
do the toys of Ihe children.
Every movement liking to the
advancement of Ihe peace move
ment, limitation of armament and
a liefer method than war of con
ducting relations between nations
should he enthusiastically en
couraged by the people who pay
the cost of these expensive toys.
—Ex. _
These automobile inventions
and accessories are all right in
their way, but why don’t some
genius come' along with a self
starling lawn mower?
The fashion pages are giving
much attention to the new styles.
Nothing, however, seems to in
terfere with the old style senator
who has a tariff speech in his
system.
