The Hankers and the Administration.
ill.? administration currency bill * ? ?ti 1? 1 muster only
one rote In the Boatos convention of 2,-100 bunk?
ere. That fad may well make the administration
hesitate in it? plan t?. force Its bill through Um Ben*
at??. It may pul Its tel upon th?* statin?' booka, but
it cannot compel the luniks t.. comply with the law.
They aro tree t" leave tiio national banking system
an.i tak?*- ont siat?* charters, if they are strongly
enough Impressed with the objections which they
rai-?? egalnal the administration bill they will mi
doubtedly do ?... as they said In tbelr convention,
the administration cannot bring it.? uew banking
and enrroncy system Into being without their <?"?
operation, it is poasibla t" jam the bill through
Congress, but it i? not po?slble to jam 11 through the
bank??: i
And the action "f th?> bankers Is all the mor*? im
preealYe because it shows ? deeire t" co-operate.
The cet vont ion ?lid not condemn tin* bill outright
it accepted tin* principle of the bill, even the prin?
cipia of pol?tica] control, t<> which tho greatest oh*
jgctloo ha- generally been raised. All that the
bankers ask i? that th*- bill be amended and amend?
ed in n-? su.ii nay as M alt?*r it out of all semhlaiic?*
to its preeenl form. Fundamentally the bill will
remain JhSt what it la, even if all the bankers' re
que-ts are conceded. There will be governm* nt
regulation of banking If that is what the propo
rents of the Glass Mil have in mind, f'?r even should
the administration conaenl to change Its plan m as
to Include three representatives of banks in th??
Federal Reserve Board th.? majority of thai board
would >tiii be political, ?consisting of appointees "t
the Tresident.
Whatever Mr. Wilson and hi-? advisors aim nt in
making the head of the nation'! banking system a
political bully ?i.uld always be accomplished by ?
bodj four of whose seven members were political
appointees. The minority of bankers could only
advise, guide and Influence the political majority.
And there will certainly be need In a body having
functions ??> Important, delicate and technical as
the Federal Reserve Board will have ?.f that knowl?
edge of banking thai only bankers have.
The attitude of the bankers is so reasonable, so
moderate and SO universal among a body of men
whose conaenl i? necessary t?? the administration
Mil's eucceaa that it should cause a reconsideration
in Washington. At most it will only cos? delay to
compromise th*? differences between th?? hankers
and the administration. And agreement between
the two will Insure a programme thai will work,
it will nut profit Mr \\ laon to enact a law that
will never be carried Into full effect, no matter how
much of a "record" is made In passing it.
Forbidden Plumage.
There will be seant sympathy fof any Incoming
American women Who attempt t?> fed nutra trod by
the, rade provisions of the new tariff law prohibiting
'he importation <?f aigrettes.
Secretary McAdoo Intends to enforce the law
with "the least Inconvenience to travellers." Bui
:he prohibition is Bat and then? is nothing for the
trastorna oaaesta to ?io but seise prohibited plumage
whether worn i?n a hnt ?>r brought ashore in any
other fashion. Notices are being sent out by the
steamship oompanlee, and returning travellers will
bave adequate training.
Kvery belated reform hurts some feelings Bnt
the present humane law only lays flown B rule which
every thoughtful wmiian will I-e ready and glad t?>
follow.
Verdi.
One hundred years ago today there was horn in
the little tillage of Ronc?le the man who, of all
Italians since the groat men of the Rmallttsntfi.
baa ?tread the art spirit of hi? race throughout the
ciribzed world. Opera is the art par etcellenct ?.f
modern Italy, and "f that art Giuseppe Verdi is
his nations high pri??st. The girt (.f melody, bo
long practically the s??le refreshment of a people
rent by patty ?mus and opprcaaiona, waa Verdl'a in
truly divine abundance; and this ?.rift, combined
with a rare feeling f??r the theatre, peculiarly fitted
the composer for the position he oecupiea in the
heart? ?.f in.? countrymen.
But it Ik u?'t onlj as a composer that Verdi is
haib-xl in the various festivals being held this week
throughout the world; it is als?, as the exanipl.?
of I RR\R Who matured but never grew old, who at
eighty it? bis "i'a?.?tait ' was a? fuiiy abreast of 111?
time hs he waa al twenty-sai with his "Oberto."
In 1839 \fit\\ ?.reduced his tirst opera. Between
that year and lS'.U he gave forth a Continual *
cession of trorfca, each one marking a slight artistic
advance upon ii> predecessor, until with his
"Otello" of 1887 and his "I'lilstatT" ?'f 1898 h<
reached hi? consummate masterplecea, His first
works wen la the old Italian style; Bellini was
hamming geutlj In his <-ar. Than la the early 50*s
eaaae "Rlgolstto,*1 '"Trovntoro'' and Travlata.'
The old arias were still there, but there was at
least a hint of the musicdnnna that the young
IVagner waa preaching In Germany. Foe any or?
?Unary genius it would hav?? been enough tO
go on repeating the ?>ld forma, but Verdi wa> ol
other ?-lay. ii?. produced 'Aida." and the world
gaaped with wonder and delight at the roluptuou*
glorien ?if tiie uiuh???. "Aida ' wa? written f??r the
opening of the Suez ('anal, and to the Italia! tl)?'

Then follow???! a period <?f operatic rest, and JttSl

any of Wagner's, and "Knlstaff." ?vith the "Meister
