Some months ago we were hearing
a food deal about the "money trust."
Recently we have not heard so much
about ii. What has become of it?
Hiis it been busted?
It seem to me that when thia agi
tation rgaiust the money trust was at
its height it was charged by those

trust or them an. ana until u wa u,.rU betrayed President Madero
tamed and bridled there was no use d dMatoria powers. It was
to hope for any effective relief from ((,r HuerU., lhat Madero was
the oppressive trust monopoly. nlurd,.riH,. u waa t0 confirm and
If this taming and bridling has p,.,uate Hueru'f usurpation that
been accomplished, where is thei Jhe Mtxican Congress was imprison
beast putting up. and can anybody i, an(, he Jud(,ei of Mexcan court8

I noticed rulit recently that there ( Ther, ha9 bwn no chanpe fn Henry
was a rapid increase in the resour.es Wilson. He boasts today, as
of the National banks, comptroller ... . T ... . hj
Williams announced that the increase
troni .viarcn in 10 .uay i.-i aiuouunn
to two hundred and iifty-six million
dollars, and that this increase pushed
the total up to MOKE than fourteen
billion dollars. j
Now. in the face of the fact tlu.t
there is only thirty-seven dollars perj
capita for each of the hundred million
iiih:lil;inis ol these I'nited States.,
and this thirt-seven dollars nutlti-'
plied by the number of inhabitants
only aiiu'ui'M to three billion seven
hundred million. How caa our Na
tional banks possess resources to the
amount of fourteen billion, nearh ,
four times t!ie total amount of cii-,
ciiiatiiit meilium we have.
1 confess that this is a problem b -oini
my poweis of comiireheiisioii,
but it's a !lUiii nevertheless, that
s.em.- to me to need some explana
tion. How- can banks possess FOUR dol
lars when there is only ONE dollar
to be possessed?
Is THUEK of these four dollars
spurious? and is labor paying divi
deuds on n.ur dollars, wlua there it
onlv ONE dollar setvins it? If
then there must be a money trust.
Mr. Alexander, president of the
Farm, is' t'niou of North Carolina,
raised a kick on the rural credits
measure passed by the recent con
gress on the ground that the bill did
not provide for any increase of "real
monev." but only for what he termed
"credit money." That is. the present
percapita circulating medium would
not be increased to the people. Hut
the power of the banks handling this
business would be increased to long
dividends. In other words, the peo
ple woud be required to pay dividends
on the amounts represented by the
land bonds" while the money with
which to pay these increased divi
dends bad not been increasing one
cent.
This i:: on ;i par with Mr. Zeh
Croon's charge that dealers in com
mercial fertilizers draw twenty, or
more, per com dividends on nothing.
He s.ns t'.uy buy the stuff on credit,
pav for it aiter the farmer who used
it "pavs diem and deduct their time
price coi imis.-ions just as tnou;'ii
they had invested some good hard
ca.-h in the business.
No wonder labor is calling for
bread. The call is generally answer
ed with a stlme. and if it calls for
lish. it is more than likely they get a
scorpion.
Hut back to the bank question.
Can tin body tell us why or how,
bank r "sources can be four times as
big' as the money that makes up these
resources?
I have sometimes wondered how
Many men borrow the same hundnd
dollars. Maybe there are four who
do. If so, then the explanation Is
ease.
We will ber.in with A and let him
go to his banker and give him ten
dollars for the privilege of checking
out ninety Borrower says this is the
wav they work it. Now what is to
hinder B from coming along and
paving (en dollars more for the priv
ilege of checking on this same hun
dred dollars? It's still there, and if
the dividend drawing power of the
banks are four times as great iis the
total money of the Nation would jus
tify, how else could the trick be
worked?
It thru, this is the way things are
goiti,'. is il any wonder win deposi
tors' sometimes have to put up with
tweniv - live cents on the dollar of
their 'deposits when the institution
"busts?"

were hanged in pairs, Ensevio Ret

to death first ar.d then Jose I'.angtl

The men were calm.
None would make any statement'
except Garcia, who exclaimed as he
was led to the execution: "I hope;
God will forgive my enemies." ;
This completes the disposition or

Mourning For Huerta.
Nw York World.
1 we had recognized Huerta this
trouble would not have happened."
Such was the remark of Henry
Lane Yi!son at the conclusion of a
Ionic discussion of the Mexican situa-
turn with Mr. Hughes. Such has
been the tenor of everything that Mr.
Hughes has had to say upon the one
feature of our foreign relations on
hich he speaks with vigor. Such
in the plaint of Dig Business, the
ranch-owners, the holders of conces-
Hons and all the Jingoes.
Hennr I-ane Wilson was President

is as contemptuous now as then oi

Mr. Taft because he did not reeog -
nize Huerta. and he has been criticis -
ing President Wilson ever since be -
cause In that res net-1 he has followed
the example of his predecessor.

for Huerta. Henry Line Wilson is

away; he also lost a Ambassadorship
used as no such office had often been
used before in finis"', activities
I which did much to promote ill-feeling
! between Mexico and the United
i States.
) We are well accustomed to Henry
Lane Wilson's grief and may easily
ignore it. What concerns the Ameri
can people at this moment is the more
restrained woe ot Charles E. Hughes,
the on-to-Mexico Republican jingo
press, the gluttonous interests that
are so friendly to every scheme of
exploitation and annexation, and,
lastly, the paid agents of the Kaiser
in this country. Here is grief of that
deep-seated variety which ought to
melt a heart of stone.
Huerta died In the custody of the
United States with German money in
his pockets, an offender against our
laws. Let us suppose that he had
been recognized as the lawful Mexi
can despot when he set up his mur
derous rule in 1913. He would have
been an amiable neighbor In 1915
and 1916. would he not. when we
were in the sharpest of controversies
with his patron, the Kaiser?

which practically every American
professes a willingness to fight. That
