All the day he sits and whittles, with his back' against the wall, hnd he tares no jots or tittles what of evils may befall. Dynasties and thrones may tremble, and he doesn't care a hoot; mighty armies may assemble, and the battle bugle toot; but the marching of a Caesar on new victories Intent, doesn't bother Ebenezerl doesn't jar him worth a cent. While he has bid Bally1 ylttlee he Is stranger to a core, and he whistles and he whittles., with the chlnchbugs in his hair. All the land Is In commotion, every day new problems rise; from the east -to western ocean there are mad excited guys; there are spasms, wild, titanic, every way a man may turn; Ebenezer sits and whistles, following his lifelong plan, while the papers print epistles from the "Constant Reader" clan, pointing out that Doom Is coming to our bulwarks and our shrines, and that Kemlses Ih humming nil along tho vengeful lines. ' Ebenezer's view is broader than these visions of despair; while he has his daily fodder, what should Ebeneaor care? C there's trou ble on the morrow, why go forth that woe to meet?

HAT the federal reserve system has done for the na tional banks is succinctly summarized in three charts just issued by the comptroller of the currency, graphically epitomizing the story of the banks for the past 45 years. Resources of national banks have had a greater growth during the past 5 years under the reserve system, than they had in the 40 years immediately prior to 1914. From 1874 to 1914 they increased $9,487,854,609. From 1914 to 1919 they increased $9,503,194,862. Deposits in creased from $795,500,586 in 1874 to $8,393,372,772 in 1914 and from the latter figure to $15,924,865,000 in 1919. The total resources in 1919 are $20,799,550,000. The prosperity of the banks, which reflect the pros perity of the country under the reserve system is shown by the fact that the net earnings of national banks in the past five years have shown a greater increase than in the entire 40 years before. The chart shows the earnings as $62,660,000 in 1874, which shrunk during the - hard times of the latter 70s to $30,000,000, reached a peak of $76,000,000 in 1891, shrank to $47,000,000 in 1895 and 1897, climbed to $149,270,171 in 1914 and to $240,366,000 in 1919. It is however, in elimination of failures and increas ed stability and safety that the federal reserve system has most beneiitted tne people. In 40 years from 1874 to 1914, bank failures occurred on an average of cne in every 21 days, while since January 1, 1918, such failures have been only one in 21 months. From 1874 to 1893 there was an average of 17.6 failures each year, from 1893 to 1914, an average of 16 failures per year. In 1914 there were 8 failures, in 1915, 5 failures, in 1916 and 1917, 3 failures each year, in 1918, one failure and in 1919 to date, none. The record for the past 22 months has been thirty times better than the record prior to 1914. In achieving these results, credit is also due the banks for co-operation and sound management. Banking has been stabilized on a "safety-first for depositors" basis, the wild-catter and speculator eliminatetiV-all of which is a cause for thanksgiving. THE MEXICAN MESS. THE American Mining Congress views with alarm the course of the Mexican government and calls anew for intervention for the protection of Americans in the south ern republic. i " t This is part and parcel of the propaganda that has been conducted, for the past six years to embroil the two nations and force American intervention. There is so much colored news, so much deliberate falsehood, so palp able an attempt to create discord with Mexico, in order that American exploiters may profit, that every story from Mexico must, be viewed with suspicion, as put forth with a sinister motive. The "Mexican Review" published in the city of Mex ico, which is also propaganda against intervention, ex plains some of the "bogies'? raised by the intervention ists. The denounced tland law is th,us explained: When foreigners acquire Mexiacn real estate thev must re nounce their rights as foreign citizen's "for the purpose of! mat especial property ana promise not to appeal to their home governments about itnot an unreasonable require ment and one which 415 American citizens agreed to dur ing the past year. But two Japanese applied for lands, and only a third as many Germans as Americans. The strained relations between the two nations are due largely to the fool attitude of Carranza, who is afflicted with megalomania as well as pro-Germanism.

I have never had time to prepare for a great change. My engagement, my marriage and my homecoming to a place which was not home were all acts; carried out on the spur of the moment- and conditions over which I seemed to have no control. After Alice left I very carefully planned the rearranging of my rooms and decided it should begin the next day. But alas before the morrow came, I received a wire from my mother which halted my plans abruptly. John had not yet come home from the office although: it 'was about five o'clock.

I hud intended to go home to my mother's iind bring back many pieces of furniture that had been heirlooms and keepsakes in my family, for the furnishing of my new home. But as John had decided that we should live j with Madame Gordon,. I dropped that ' Idea for the time being at least. Of j course, I was very much disappointed 1 that I would not have a home of my I own but I was determined to make the best of It.

After saying that she would brook no change in the rooms I wns rather sur prised that she seemed perfectly con tent to let me have a big double bed in my sitting room. I said nothing about changing things for a month or so after our memor able interview in her bedroom. I rath, er waited to see if John would make any suggestions but his mind was wrapped in his business again and he seemed perfectly content to come home to these uncomfortable sur roundings. I am quite sure that at that time he did not realize that I kept almost entirely to this sitting room, except for meals, because Madame Gordon made me feel nn Interloper any-other place.

I am go ing to have these rooms rearranged and buy new furniture for them to morrow." Alice looked Up curiously. "What are you going to do with the old furni ture?" she asked. "I haven't gotten so far as 'that" I answered. "I expect there Is an attic In thls house, isn't there?"' "Have you told mother what yoii are going to do?" "I told her the first day I was here that T wns going to make these rooms comrortubie as long as I have to live In them."

While Pres ident Wilson worked today on his message to congress, republican lead ers In both houses planned their at tack on his expected dcitiand for quick ratification of the peace treaty. When the pVesident's message goes before congress the republicans will be ready to concentrate their efforts on passage of Senator Lodge's resolu tion declaring the war ended. If Wilson manifests a spirit of com promise and says the treaty is accept able wltVi the Lodge reservations or with'reservatlons based on them, op position leaders will devote their ef forts to bringing about this qualified ratification. This Indicates a change In the re publican plan. Word of what attitude the president will take In his message Is carefully guarded at the white house. His friends do not believe he will recede from his stand of only a week ago, that the treaty Is practically killed by the Lodge reservations or anything like them.
