Each day from now until Christ- 1
mas the Dally Alaskan will print a
story, a poem, a picture or a sketch
relating to that festal day. Christ
mas time Is children's time, and It
is believed that these features will
add something to the happiness and [
welfare of the young ones. We are
all children either in fact or mem
ory. Wheu memory comes and
leads us back to the Christmas time
of long ago, it is then that guile
and covetousness and jealousy and j
sin are driven from our conscious
ness, and we become more Christ- 1
like; for didn't the gentle Nazarine
say that "unless ye become as little I
children ye can nowise enter the
Kingdom of Heaven."
Taken lu that sense His admon
ition bears a new meaning; for lit
tle children are pure in heart, and
the pure In heart can see and foel
God, even now.
Gradually the common people, the
workers, the producers are advanc
ing and learning something. Re
forms have never come from the
kings and politicians and leaders of
society, but have always had their
beginnings in the demands of the
people. No ruler ever granted a
reform until he was forced to by his
subjects. Our news columns today
tell of a gigantic labor strike to be
held in Prance as a protest against
war. The workmen are beginning
to realise that they are the only
ones to suffer by war. They pro
duce the sinews of war. Guns are
made by laboring men with which
to kill other laboring men, not to
kill the politicians and the Idle rich,
who seldom expose their bodies to
the terrors of embattling conflict;
so the workingmen of France will re
| fuse to go to war, and then will
follow like actions on the part of
j labor all over the world, and
I through concerted action war will
cease. The war Idea dies hard, but
ihank God, it is dying.
Money System
of America a
Failure
By Former Congressman
ROBERT W. BONYNGE
of the National Mon
etary Com
mission
CHE modification and revi
sion of the bunking and
? currency laws of the
United States aro far
more important than any question
which has been discussed during
the presidential campaign.
OUR PRESENT BANKING AND
CURRENCY SYSTEM IS A RELIC
OF CIVIL WAR DAYS. IT HAS
8ERVED MANY USEFUL PUR
POSES. BUT TIME AND AGAIN
IT HAS SHOWN THAT IT CAN
NOT STAND UP UNDER 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 has no such
thing as a banking system. There
are 25,000 independent banks,
with a reserve fund of about $1,
600,000,000 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 l>0 per cent of the

business of this country is carried on not by cash transaction, Dut on
the credit of tank-, and only when we realize that business is largely
carried <>n through credit will we find how important that the banks
be given facilities for the extension of credit to business men.
Ol*K HASIC SYSTEM IS WRONG. No other nation in the
world ha.M - 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 SOMK SAFE
CUSTODIAN O F TILE GREAT RESERVE FUND HELD BY
THK INDIVIDUAL I!.\.\KS. a union of the banks.
Woman Suffrage a Fad
That Won't Last j
By CARDINAL FARLEY of Nrw York
1DO not believe in woman suffrage. 1 think my mother and my
sister have their TRUE PLACE IX THE HOME and that
it is best for tliein and all women to leave to man politios and
as far as possible the affairs of government.
When differences of opinion arise between husband and wifa it is
BEST FOR THE WIFE TO GIVE WAY TO THE OPINION
OF THK MAN.
It is my belief that women will SOOX TIRF! OF THE
BALI.OT in states in which they have soriired it. as they tire of fash
ion, and it will fall into a state of innocuous ih-mtude.
IT IS MERELY A FAD. I DO NOT BE4JEVE IT WILL LAST. J
