editorial page
It's well to be writing a book, or
painting a tree and a brook; but,
Elisabeth Ann. if you'd please sor
did man. you'd better be learning
to cook! 1 know you're a poach
and a beaut at playing the har(>
and the flute; but the nian that
you wed will expect to be fed on
beefsteak, potatoes and fruit So
mcny, Elisabeth Ann, can paint on
a vase or a fan; so many can sing
like the birds in the spring- so fe*
can do things with a pan! So man>
sweet maKlens can take a box and
some ribbons and make a nice
rustic clock that would please Mr
Bok ? and so few can get busy and
bake! So many can stand and re
cite the rhyme about curfew to
night! B-it where is the maid that
can make marmalade, or mix up a
salad Just right? 1 can't eat a
chromo, my dear, and a book tastes'
exceedingly queer; when I'm emptr
I long not for sonnet or song, but
for well-roasted chunk of a steer.
The housekeeping girl is a gem ?
the girl who can bake, stew and
hem! The girls who can play on
pianos all day ? there's never a
shortage of them' ? Walt Mason
The modification and revision of
the banking and currency laws of
"the United States are far more im
portant than any question which
has been discussed during the pres
t !entlal campaign
Our present banking and curren
cy system is a relic of Civil War
days. It has served many useNl
purposes. l?ut time and again it has
shown that it cannot stand up un
der stress, and, anomalous as it
may seem, the more prosperous we
are the greater is the danger of a
banking and money panic.
The United States ha* no such
thing as a banking system There
are 25,000 independent banks, with
a reserve fund of about $1,600,000,
i>00 against a total deposit of $16,
000,000.000, or a reserve fund of
10 cents on every dollar deposited
All of these reserve funds are in
little separate piles. By dividing
this great reserve we weaken the
force and powers and dissipate the
strength of this great amount.
More than 90 per cent of the
business of this country is carried
on not by cash transaction, but on
the credit of banks, and only when
we realize that business is largely
carried on through credit will we
find how important that the banks
be given facilities for the exten
sion of credit to business men.
Our basic system is wrong. No
other nation in the world bases its
currency on debt as we do. Why, if
we paid off our debt now we would
cut the amount of money in the
country by some $750,000,000.
To remedy this condition we
must provide some safe custodian of
the great reserve fund held by the
individual banks, a union of the
banks ? Robert W. Bonynge, of the
National Vonetary Commission
According to the IViwson News
the passage of the Irish home rule
bill by the British commons makes
an epoch Without doubt the
measure will be little altered in ef
fect by the time it sets through the
house of lords, and before long the
Irish legislative body will be organ
lied Then will come the real test.
Tens of thousands of I'lsterites, de
claring that the parliament will tw
dominated by the Irish of Catholic
persuasion and under the influence
of prlMts, assembled a few months
ago In Belfast, and, amidst riotous
scenes, pledged themselves not to
be bound by the enactments of the
prospective home assembly.
When that assembly undertakes
to enact laws, there will be temp
ests, and before the body is elected
there will be something not al
together like a summer pastoral
The world has seen warm cam
paigns in every quarter, but when
the Irish take the stump all others
may step aside. There will be
something stirring on the green lit
tle Isle
The strength manifested in the
commons ?n support of the homej
rule measure Indicates a determin
ation to see that Ireland bare the
opportunity of testing her own ca
pacity for self-gove-nment I'nder
normal conditions government by
the people and for the people is
ideal. But the I'lster element con
tends that Ireland will not see
this ideal carried out under the so
called "home rule," but that the
government will be under dominace
of the church. A year from now,
and perhaps much sooner, all will
know a good deal more regarding
the wisdom >>f the new step.
With the granting of a separ
ate legislative body for Ireland, the
precedent, is established for the crea
tion of local assemblies for Scot
land. Kngland and Wales, with the
present British parliament left un
trammeled to handle the greater is
sues of empire scope. Scotland and
Wales already have been working
quietly in the hope of obtaining
similar privilege to that project for
Ireland Now that the Irish pro
gram is so well advanced, the other
divisions of the United Kingdom
may not be long in realising the
new conditions.
Local assemblies have the ad
vantage of more intimate knowl
edge on matters purely of concern
withiu their own territory. Yukon
knows this from experience. Alaska
knows it, end is just establishing
her home government. So long as
all receive equal privileges and op
portunities. the principle of home
rule spells greater advancement In
the coveted boon of representative
government May the outcome be
the greatest good to the greatest
number, in Ireland and likewise in
all other divisions of Britain's vast
Empire
Prof. Edmund J. James, presi
dent of the University of Illinois be
fore the National Association of
State Universities, which recently
finished holding a session in Wash
ington, in a speech censured the
college heads for telling students
that they should be doctors and di
plomats when they were best fitted
to be street car conductor* and Ice
men He declared that young men
ruined their lives by trying to do
something they couldn't do. Col
lege presidents are too narrow mind
ed to map out vocations for any
body, he asserted, and that books
and test tubes are not everything
there is to life ? there's lots more
outside the college "Men should
just naturally fall into their places
in the world; nobody can shove
them into tt If they do they don't
fit."
Ql AI.IT1KS, NOT TITLKS,
MAKK THK REAL MAX
[ Ottawa, Jan. 30 ? Burnham, mem
ber of parliament for Peterboro, in
troduced a bill in the commons re
centyl to abolish the practice of
granting titles in Canada.
Burnham made an addrses in
support of his measure in which he
took the firm stand that the grant
ing of titles is undemocratic and
not in keeping with the constitution
of the Dominion. He declared that
the people of the Dominion are not
aristocrats in heart nor in practice,
and that all semblance of any one
class being better than another or
entitled to titles is invidious. A man
of merit, he declared, will find his
own surname increased in fame and
real value in true proportion to his
worth as a citizen
