would vigorously oppose a system
which would be the means of central.
izing banking power by Chains of cen
trally owned banks, stretching across
the country.
: The opposition to a great central
bank, like the Bank of England. Is
even stronger than the opposition to
branch banks;; although, again, it is
not to be denied that central banks
have proved signally effective in up
holding the credit of the nations of
Europe.
We have now before the country a
proposal for a co-operative banking
system free from the features of
branch banking and central banking
objectionable to American democratic
ideals the head of which is to he a
co-operative association owned by all
the banks of the country.
The thousands of smaller banks
throughout the country are asking,
"What benefit will we and our com
munities derive from a national re
serve association?" This question is
answered in a pamphlet published by
the National 'Citizens' League. Among
the advantages cited are:
Insurance against money panics like
that of 1907. .. . ... ;
Lower interest rates in sections of
the country away from the financial
centers. ,
Narrower fluctuations in interest
rates.; -.: " : 'r ':
The attraction of investment capi
tal ' from the highly developed sec
tions to the newer, growing sections
foreign capital.
The financing of the yearly move
ment ofthe crops at less cost and with
leas disturbance to the money market.
More independence to smaller banks.
Economy In the use of cash- in the
dally business of the country. :
Assurance that a sound bank will
always be able to take care of the
legitimate needs of its customers.
The promotion of sound banking
practices.

ter from a 450-page text book on
"Banking Reform," which the National
Citizens' League now has" on the press.

diamen with iirecloiw i'r;oo nnd eml
grant sbtp hnve suited us fnr us the
Goodwins and there hnve heen' engulf
ed. Most travelers who skirt the coast
between the Forelmids'. see the gaunt
remains of melancholy wrecks.
The romantic tale Is told that the
Goodwins were at one time a beautiful
and fruitful Island, the eslute of Earl
Goodwin, hut that in . 1007 they be
came a vast shoal boomise of "n turbu
lent rape of rain and uu unheard of
rni;e of the sea." . The Island disap
peared nnd been me "Incredibly covered
with .sand" 'l:at has been the tradi
tion toi. inauy centni'tes. unci less than
200 years ago there was an alehouse'
keeper who -declared that his oaken'
shutllebourd was made from a , tree
which grew on the Coodwtns wbeu
they were au Island. : ' : ';.'
A clerical Inrestipator. however, who
knew the publican, sorrowfully classed
him as n lying fellow : Although the
tradition Is teijcnillj; credited. It seems
fat mure likely' that ihe fJoiKhvliw are
formed by the si rung run of the tide
down lne North sea and the tide up the
strait ot lovi r. the two meeting off
the Kentish const aud .svveeplii 'vast
quantities of sand in a whirlpool shoal.
in those days of lumbering' sailing
craft, when vessels were completely nt
the mercy of the wenther,' there was
little hope of keeping clear of the
Goodwins unless the sands could be
discerned and wlud and tide were fa
vorable. Every gale that blew gave
tribute of life and vessel to the shoals. ;
There have been memorable disasters
in recent years, even since steam be
came almost uuirersal for marine pro
pulsion but tbe most noted calamities
relate to the days of sail. Of all that
have been: put on record none la more
terrible than the annihilation of an en
tire fleet of warships In the storm
which devastated England In 1703.
Thirteen warships , anchored In the
downs were' swept from their moor
ings. 1 Some were driven ashore rive.
including four sail of the -line, were
hurled toward the Goodwins and dash
ed to pieces. Nearly 1,100 officers and
men perished, yet a ' handful were
saved und brought to shore by men of
Deal and Ramsgate and. the little na
vens of the const. "' .
" 'Tls the hard gray weather breeds
hard Englishmen." The hnrdest uud
grayest British wenther Is thnt of the
North sea. The Goodwius are at tue
southernmost part of the North sea,
and there on the coast line overlooking
the sands men battle ceaselessly with
one of the sailors' most pitiless ene
mies The Goodwins cannot be coaxed
or engineered into submission.
They flout mastery nnd scorn aomi
nntion and In. their essentials remain
wliat they have been for centuries.
Man has tried repeatedly ' to bridle
them, to find a foothold on their slink
ing bases. More thun 300 -years ago u
scheme was formed to build u beacou
or a lighthouse on the Goodwlus. but
it came to nothing. Long afterward
attempts were made to raise a light
house, but the work was never tin
Ished. in 1841 an old ship was scut
tled and wbb made a dead weight with
ballast A mast was put In her and
bore a beacon, but only for a time.
The greedy Goodwins swallowed all.
The only way to conquer tbe shouls
is to gird them with buoys and light
ships, and that has been so well ac
complished that In flue weather the
sands are marked as clearly fon the
waters as the hours arc indicated on
the dial of a watch. But fogs make
beucons useless, and so rapid Is the
run of the sen in tne swnsii i
channels of the sands that even In
clear , weather an experienced pilot
may not get his vessel safely through
the Indicated trncks.-Walter Wood In
