UNITED STATES BEHIND THE BANKS.
One of the finest developments of the federal reserve hank
plan is the readiness and alacrity with which it brings up Un
reserves when a bank is tin- object of unwise attack. Let a lit
tie run begin, and out steps the IT. N. A., under the new plan,
with almost unlimited resources. In the recent bank flurry in
Seattle tin- federal reserve bonrd offered' $00,000,(MX) if that
amount were needed.
Most bank runs are founded upon neurasthenia and not upon
I net. Hysterical fear—the kind of fear that keeps a horse in
a burning barn-—is the worst enemy of community business
and public eontidence. One evil tongue may produce that fool
ish fear, or a careless word dropped in a dangerous place may
create it.
Cordova is fortunate in having a bank which is solid and
substantial, all of its sworn statements being highly favorable.
This is gratifying and a subject of community congratulation.
Its deposits are steadily increasing, and have reached the enor
mous sum of $574,005.96, a record which few, if any, towns tin
size of Cordova have attained.
-:o:-—
SOME PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY.
Woodrow Wilson is the twenty-eighth president of the
United States, reckoning Cleveland’s two terms as separate
ones because he was the only president serving twice who was
not re-elected.
\ irginia leads in the nativity of presidents. Eight of her
sons—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, W. H. Harri
son, Tyler, Taylor and \Y ilson—have held the highest office in
the gift of the nation.
Ohio has given six native sons to the presidency. They
were Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, McKinley and
Taft.
Of all the vocations in life the law has furnished most pre
sidents. Mineteen chief executives of the United States were
lawyers at the time they were elected. Thee are classified as
statesmen; two as soldiers, two as farmers, one as a public of
ficial.
Seventeen presidents have been college men; one was
graduated from West Point, nine had no collegiate education.
English paternal ancestry has predominated among all the
presidents. Fifteen were of English extraction. Six were
Scotch-Irish, three were Scotch, two were Dutch, one was
Welsh.
I he youngest president, at the time of bis inauguration
wasBooseyelt, who was 46. The oldest was William Henry
i-uu t imiii, w no wttH Ofl.
Of all the presidents John Adams lived to the oldest age.
lie was 90 when he died.
For the fifth time in the history of the United States, n
vice-president was inaugurated' to succeed himself, when Tims.
W. Marshall, Indiana, last Monday subscribed to the oath of
office as President Wilson’s second in command. But four
other vice-presidents have ever been chosen for a second term
of office. They were John Adams, first vice-president; George
Clinton, under President’s Jefferson and Madison, who died
during his second term; Daniel C. Tompkins, under President
Monroe; and John C. Calhoun, under Presidents John Quincy
Adams and Andrew Jackson, and who resigned to enter the
senate following his re-election.
-:o:
Pacifists continue to set a striking example of belligerency.
-:o:
General Hicostaliving, devout old boy, is going to assist in
the observance of Lent.
-•
Blood might be thicker than water if the water were not so
full* of submarines.
-:o:
Hogs above 13, wheat above $1.50 — no wonder the fann
ers are in the income tax class.
-: o:
If Villa’s constitution is breaking under that old wound it
may he better for Mexico than the strong constitution which
Carranza recently drafted.
-:o
England’ snipped Count von Bernstorff’s rubber heels as
contraband of war. It might have been stretching the matter
to have removed the rubber from his garters and arm bands.
-:o;
Doughnuts are no longer “sinkers”—but risers. San
Franciscan bakers have put them up to 20 cents a dozen. For
the sake of preparedness, the old flag and the sacred pylorus
and duodenum, the imperious law should fix the price at $4 a
noughnut, after enlarging the hole by a couple of diameters.
-:o:
An oil portrait of William Jennings Bryan, representing
him in the attitude of passing out peace treaties to all the na
tions of the world, has been placed in the department of state,
according to custom. There are a lot of people in favor of turn
ing it to the wall right now, but let’s wait fifty years. Time
has the trick of undoing heroes, of making somebodies out of
nobodies, and of gilding ridiculed acts with virtuous purpose
and dignified achievement. It may be Bryan, not Wilson, who
will shine the brighter in history in 2017. Give the old clock
its opportunity.
-:o:
It may be heresy but we’re not on the point of declaring
that children of the little red school house of 35 years ago did
not spell as well as the children of the same age today. The
state spelling match, now in progress, is the standard by which
the tentative declaration is made. The youngsters have
“ rastled ” victoriously with jaw-breakers that seldom were
given out in the spelling matches of other days. Forty years
have added to the vocabulary an enormous numlier of technical
terms. We have borrowed freely from the French, adding to
the difficulties of spelling. The boy or girl who ventures into
a modem spelling match has to possess a wider general know
ledge than father and mother possessed.
