WITH the statement that "re-establishment

, the practical completion of the world’s mone-
tary reconstruction.” the Federal Reserve
Board wrote the official “finis ” for one of the
most Remarkable accomplishments of our times.
To have brought order out of chaos in the
currency systems of the principal countries of
the world within ten years after the most dev-
astating war of all time is a fine tribute to
the world s banking leadership and particularly
to the Federal Reserve System which has had
such a large part in this development.
By directing its post-war policy toward
worldwide resumption of the gold standard the
Reserve System has not only contributed not-
ably to international welfare, but it has saved
the United States from what t one time might
have been a grave financial upset.—
This disaster, oddly enough, was threatened
by a post-war flood of gold to the United
States which lodged in our vaults over halt of
the world's supply.
This led to proposals in Europe to aban-
don the gold standard, and leave us "holding
the bag” of gold. At the same time the flood
of gold to this country was an Invitation to
currency inflation with all of its evil results.
By following a broad scale international
policy Reserve Bank officials weaned Euro-
pean banks away from the appealing idea of
setting up new monetary standards not de-
pendent upon_gald, and at the same time used?
Its power to prevent serious inflation in this
country.
- At times, notabty.a year ago. It has seemed
that the Reserve System has been over-solic-
itous about the European currency situation.
Then, in order to stimulate a flow of funds to
Europe to aid in currency stabilization the
Reserve Banks lowered their Interest rates, and
as a result ushered In a era of stock specula-
tion which is at present providing a knotty
problem because It is absorbing so much credit.
It may well be answered. however, that
this is a small price to pay for the return to
the world to the gold standard.
Some philosophers attack our faith in gold
as the essential of a sound monetary system
as hangover from barbarism. They may be
right, but the fact' of Immediate Importance is
that the faith is there.
And without faith in the currency system
there fy economic chaos and widespread hard-
ship.
As the result of financial statesmanship of
a high order since the war the threat of such
chaos is now virtually removed. This is a fine
thing.

■nrASHINGTON, Aug. 24. —
W There is one school of
political thought which bolds
that campaign speeches never
change any votes. Al Smith
certainly does not belong to
that "school, Hoover. In his
acceptance speech, bad no need
to go after more than Cool-
idge received in 1924. He need
only talk to hold that big Re-
publican majority. But Smith,
in accepting the Democratic
nomination, has gone after
that majority hammer and
tongs, with a direct bid for
the important 5,000,000 votes
which were cast for LaFol-
lette.
Two characteristics of Smith
himself stand out all over the
speech. ,
One is hi own direct per-
sonal appeal to the voter and
his unusual capacity for frank-
ness—so rare in politicians—
that goes with it. There are
plenty at perpendicular pro-
nouns. It is full of • solemn
compacts between Smith, per-1
sonally, and the people.
rPHE other characteristic is
1 his almost uncanny ability
to avoid pitfalls and at the
same time -use the words of
his enemies to barb and hurl
back at them with force.
. True, Hoover has not been
making any breaks such as
would enable Smith to con-
GOVERNMENT is no less a

! There is no more sense in
supposing that we can better
it thru stump speeches than
there is to suppose that we
could learn botany by writing
thymes.
What government needs is
the employment of those meth-
bds which have taught us
what we know in every other
field—laboratories in which
tests can be made and results
proven. Common sense sug-
gests that Instead of arguing

the government was spending ,

tax money from the people as
well.
Slates' of America has remain-
ed so stagnant, bo impervious
to human ingenuity, so out of
step with the time as its gov-
ernment. This is especially
true in the administration of
justice. There is not a cor-
ner grocery store in this coun-
try but .what could prove a
saner reaction to the influ-
,epce of education and invent-
iveness than our judicial sys-
tem.
In the selection of juries,
trial of cases and methods of
appeal, we are still riding the
ox cart. The only improve-
ment we have made is in the
handling of convicts after they
have been sentenced by the
court, and that is too late.
WJE stated that we dissented from Governor
VV Smith's position on Immigration as de-
clared in his acceptance speech.
The part to which we object is: "I am
opposed to the principle of restriction based
upon the figures of immigrant population con-
tained in a census thirty-eight years old.”
The' first immigration quota law became
effective in June, 1921. It allowed European
countries an annual quota of three per cent
of their immigrant population in this country,
as shown by the census of 1910. That census
reflected the very large immigration from
southern and eastern Europe in the two dec-
ades prior to it, and resulted in relatively large
quotas for countries in that part of the world.
In order to scale down quotas from south-
ern and eastern Europe and increase those
from countries in northern Europe the new
immigration law of 1924 used the 1890 census
as a basis, and reduced the quota from three
to two per cent.
With the exception of those cases in which
the law has worked individual hardship by the
separation of families, the operation of the
1924 statute has in the main been satisfactory.
But cutting down immigration from southern
and eastern Europe it has aided the country
in the difficult process of digesting great

acceptance speech bigins
his great attack.
