FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM NEXT
ON LIST FOR INVESTIGATION
———*
AND N<)\V we are again going to shy a d'omick or two at the
money trust, maybe. You will remember we were told
with hearty reassurances that the federal reserve sys
tem would crucify that dreadful monster, and put the nation
on Easy streat, mentally and physically. The distinguished
leaders of Democracy warned us to bury our worry, with a
stake through its vitals, and most of us have felt better ever
since in spite of other unhappy circumstances and certainly w<
have exercised a Christian patience while “ waiting at th<
bank.”
But here comes Congressman Linberg of Minnesota do
manding a congressional investigation of the federal reservi
system which he denounces as a “legalized money trust.” H<
insists that an interrogation point should be jabbed into “tin
influences that have been exercised by the money trust in the
organization of the federal reserve banks and the extent of the
control of the money trust over the same.”
Let’s have it. Let’s have anything that costs money, and
there’s nothing on the green earth that can spend money fastei
than a congressional investigating committee. Texas and
tariffs do not annoy us, and the government has so much money
that the treasury needs a fluxing, anyway.
Probably within a year the working of the new banking
system would show whether it is good or bad without any con
gressional inquires now, but why wait for the demonstration!
Half the fun of living in this gay and free republic is in watch
ing congressmen and senators reading dream books and fight
ing dragons.
-:o-:
Black smallpox has broken out in Vera Cruz, but that is
not by any means the most serious plague that is pestering
Mexico.
■-:o:
A new slogan—“Buy it now”—has the boards. The
American hatband already is so full of slogans that there is
room for no more.
-:o:
A Seattle committee is endeavoring to find a substitute for
the barroom, against the day of no saloons a year hence. While
this matter will take care of itself then* are phase's of it which
demand the attention of real welfare workers.
-:o:
England says her shipping restrictions will tend to end {he
war, as they prevent Germany from getting needl'd supplies.
Germany says that complete stoppage of shipments will end
the war, by preventing England from getting the means
of continuing it. Quo Vadis?
—“-:o:-.—
Villa and Zapata are said to be out of harmony. Perhaps
the singular virtures and celestial beatitudes that have led these
men to become saviours of Mexico are temporally neutralized
by a purely human rivalry over the number of murders they
have and can commit.
-:o:
Ex-President Taft, whose knowledge of the Philippines is
thorough, strongly advises against the bill proposing free self
government for the brown brethren. All of the expert testi
mony is opposed to the experiment. In face of it will ignorant
experimenters persist?
: --:o:
As to whether or not tin* Alaskan was ever offered member
ship in the Associated Press has resolved itself into a question
of veracity between the editor of that paper and the Pacific
coast manager of the Associated Press. We are perfectly uili
ing to let the public pass judgment
-:o:
An English paper says England will make the “yoke of
the trident” as light as possible on the American neck. An
other, commenting on the President’s “ultimatum,” complains
that it might have been sent in a quiet way, without publicity,
with a better effect upin English feeling, and calls attention to
the fact that a missive may become a missile. Maybe a “yoke”
and a “missile” e ratravelling companions.
■--:o;
The “superior telegraphic news” service of our unreliable
contemporary consists principally in clipped items from Seat
tle newspapers, with the dates raised, two of which appeared
on the front page of yesterday’s Alaskan, under display heads.
In the same issue that newspaper boosts of its faking service.
-:o:—
A man in Oregon, convicted of the murder of a woman and
her little boy on the testimony of private detectives, is to be re
leased by tin* governor, an insane man having confessed to the
crime. The case of Leo Frank in Atlanta is likely to pursue the
same course. He was convicted on the flimsiest of testimony,
but under enormous police pressure. It seems to be a fact that
over-diligence often results in the acquittal of the guilty and the
conviction of the innocent. The penalty of radicalism usually
is failure
-:o:
The unrest in the Philippines is due largely to the senseless
talk in our congress to the effect that the little brown brother
is strong enough to stand on his own two political legs. The
talk is being do nefor political purposes, in the main, but it is
just as serious from the standpoint of peace and order as though
it came from the depths of sincere hearts. The Filipino is no
nearer the fundamental secrets of Democratic government than
is the Mexican, and events of recent years have demonstrated
that the Mexican still requires a two-fisted leadership in
epaulets.
