"SEVEN DAYS" WAS WELL ENJOYEO "Seven Days" is a comedy built on a scrios of funny situations, the borrowing of a wife to pacify a wealthy relative, however, is an old and considerably worn predicament that has been used in a dozou come dies, none of which ever achieved any great success.

Ooldon Gate Tar!:, Cliff House, United States Mint, Angel Island Pan-American GOUR REFORM REFORMING BUSINESS men of the nation arc organi.int? under tlio name of tho National Citizens' league for the pro motion of a nonpartisan revision of the eount.ry's mone t. ry system. The.v propose a co-operative hanking asso ciation safeguarded against both politics and Wall Street. John V. Farwoll, the veteran Chicago merchant, is at the head of the movement and a campaign of education is to be conducted that will roach every bank depositor in tlio country. Tho last returns from the irovornment show that tho banks owe their ,10,000,000 depositors tho ononfious sum of $10,500,000,000, which is nearly five times as much money as there is actual money in the whole country. Tho United States alone among nations is troubled by periodical panics, and tho present currency and banking systems are blamed. Every few years the currency sys tem develops a condition of things where the business man "goes up against it" as far as banking accommodations is concerned, ltis loans are called and he finds he can't re place them except upon exorbitant terms. The banks re fuse to discount his paper. Through no fault of his own ho suddenly finds the banking support on which he has come to rely knocked out from under him. Tho cause of these recurring troubles is tho unfitness of the .present system. All are agreed there should be a change, but differ as to the remedy. It is an absurd con dition that every time trouble threatens, the bankers, in stead of coming to the relief of the community, are forced to a position whore they must look out for themselves, and thereby increase the trouble. The bank is forced to refuse to make loans, because afraid to tie up money in commercial paper with which it cannot do anything. Often the monev that should help the community is used to strengthen n reserve too Inrirelv used in Wall Street. Ilie Citizens' league advocates cooperation among tho banks instead of the present individual svstem, through an association of all flu lunik mwi ., i;c.'r,i,t ..,..i.(.,: winch banks can turn good commercial paper into casl J Ins latter can bo accomplished by letting this associatio i 7 Dal,Ks (l,si,unt the bills of its individual mem bers. The third need is a currencv that will expand in volume when there is a demand for it and which will con tract when the need passes, this to be accomplished by gradually calling in the present individual bank notes and replacing them with currency issued hv the banks association. MUST REGULATE . SAYS BRANDEIS Financial Expert Appears Before Senate Committee and Discusses Trust Evil Speaks a Good Word for Labor Unions and Their Work. WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 11. "Kegnlntion of business is csscuti. to preserve competition." This is tho gist today of an nrii ment before the senate committee on commerce by Louis D. Brandeis nf Boston, the financial expert whose recent statement thnt by economic he could save the railroads of the country $1,000,000 created a sensa tion. ''There nre no nnturnl monopolies in industry," said Brandies, "tho oil trust got control of thnt business by ruthless violation of the law, by criminal rebating, by bribory and cor ruption. Tho steel tnibt acquired control, not through efficiency, but but bv buying plants nud ore supplier at fabulous prices. "At a time when the American people nre stunned by tho crimes -f high union officials, it is fitting In recall the debt which man owes to the unions. He owes the rise in sal ary, shorter hours, better conditions of employment mid tho protection of women and children. Industrial ab solution is indosirnble and should be impossible. "In just indignation at the crimos committed in Los Angeles, should not statesmen seek for tho onuses of the violence? Is not there a casual con nection between thuho trusts and the horrible crimes now under investiga tion? Is not it irony to discus equality and opportunity in u coun try citrecri with tho bigness of the trusts?"
