Cburtc-sy Chicago Tribune By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

NDIAN SUMMER has come and gone, but as usual it did not pass this year without the Chicar Tribune reprinting for the twentieth consecutive time, annually. John T. McCutcheon’s famous cartoon.* “Injun Summer.” The Jhrlstrnas season Is almost here and soon the New York Sun will be repilnt’ag for the thirtieth consecutive time, annually, the reply of one of Its “dl tori al writers

to Virginia O’Hanlon, the little girl who wanted to know If there was a Santa Claus. And it won’t bo but a few weeks until the Kansas City Star rec''ve» a request from some reader which says, “Won’t you please he sure to reprint IL T. Webster’s cartoon. ’Hardin County 180C.' In your paper on Lincoln's birthday?" and when the Star does reprint It. it will be the tenth consecutive tlm\ annually, that ft'has done so. Then a few weeks more and It will be nearly Memorial day. As that day approaches newspapers all over the state of Kansas (and no doubt in other states as well) will reprint Walt Mason’sppo t, “Little Green Tents.’’ For all of these—the cartoons, “Injun Summer” and “Hardin County. 1900,” the lit cf prose called “Is There a Santa Claus?" and die poem, “Little Green Tents” —are "Newspaper Classics," those Inspired pictorial or written pieces which their creators, newspaper men all of them, once turned out. little dreaming that these creations of theirs would become famous. For them it was "all in the day’s work.” But. somehow, what they wrote or what they drew caught the public fancy, because of some great beauty, some great truth or some inherent human appeal In it, and the public carefully clipped It from the newspaper and laid It aside for future enjoyment. Or perhaps the public, as that anniversary came around again, remembered how they had enjoyed that picture or ‘hat bit of writing and Immediately wrote th the editor of the paper In which they had seen it to ask. "Won’t you please print it again?" “InJun Summer" first appeared in the Chicago Tribune, tn the. autumn of 191)7 and almost Immediately McCutcheon began to receive letters of appreciation. But it was not until the next year that the cartoon began Its career as a “Newspaper Classic." When Indian summer came around that year, the Tribune began to receive letters from Its readers. “Please reprint John McCutcheon's ’lnjun Summer.’” It was the same the next year and the next and the next, until now the annual reprinting of the cartoon has become a tradition on the Tribune and an event to be looked forward to by the readers of that newspaper as the herald that Indian summer is again at hand. Webster’s “Hardin County. 1900." first appeared tn 1019. 1 One of the newspapers which was then receiving the syndicate service which Included the work of thia cartoonist, who Is now on the staff of the New York World, was the Kansas City Star, and the next year, as Lincoln’s birthday approached, the Star began to receive requests that the cartoon be reprinted. So "Hardin County, 1900." became a “Newspaper Classic" and February 12 of each jVar sees ta reappearance. The example of "Is There a Santa Claus?" as • “Newspaper Classic" Is. If anything, more interesting than that of the cartoons. Not only has it been printed In the New York Sun every year for the last 90 years, but it has been reprinted repeatedly In thousands of other newspapers throughout the United States during that time. Curious to note, its first appearance was not during the holiday season. Evidently little Virginia O’Hanlon began to be concerned about Santa Claus long before Christmas that year, for It was on September 21. 1897. that the reply to her letter, written by Francis P. Church, an editorial writer, first appeared tn the Sun. It Is doubtful If there la any other single Christmas piece, with the possible exception of "The Night Before Christmas," which is so widely known. Thanksgiving also has its "Newspaper Classic," oven though it Is not so well known as those connected with Christmas. Back In 1890 Irving Bacbeller. the distinguished novelist,- was the bead of a newspaper syndicate tn New York and one of his correspondents in the West was Will e C. Ferril. now editor of the Rocky Mountain Herald In Denver. Tn that year Mr. Bacbeller asked Mr. Ferril to write a western article for Thanksgiving and in compliance be wrote an article, based oa conditions In the Far West at that time, which he called “No Grandmothers There."

In these closing days of the year, with Thanksgiving close upon us, a whole land without grandmothers? That seems almost Incredible in the long-settled communities of the East and South, where no family reunion is complete without at least one venerable figure so familiar and so dear to all in that household from the days of childhood's earliest recollection. Yet. between the Rocky mountains and the Pacific coast there are hundreds of thousands of homes where children are growing up without a glimpse of their own. or any other child’s grandmother. They know nothing of the dear face, the soft gray hair, the quaint figure of that patient little woman who, day after day. aits In the quiet corner of the old home, knitting, knitting, and still knitting, while her thoughts are wandering far away Into the long ago of her childhood.

Then there are the quaint old songs of long ago. that even the fathers and mothers of the present day know not, which grandmother, with a quaver tn her voice, will hum and sing when she thinks no one Is near to hear. . . . Thousands of western boys and girls know nothing of this. A grandmother is to them almost as much of a myth as the. heroine of a fairy story. ... It Is true there are some grandmothers In the Far West, but they are imported from the East and South. For most of them, the West Is too far away. No doubt their hearts often reach out tenderly toward grandchildren in and beyond the Rocky mountains. As to nativeborn grandmothers, they are very hard to find west of the Rocky; mountains. With the exception ?f the early settlements in the Oregon country, the Mormons In Utah and the occasional home of the earlier trappers In the mountains, or ranchmen In California, the civilization is too young for natlye-born grandmothers. It was nearly forty years ago that the great rush was made to the gold fields of California, and not until ten years later did the tide of immigration start for Pike’s peak Possibly California may produce a few very youthful grandmothers, about, say. forty years of age. but you can scarcely find a native-born grandmother of even that early age tn Colorado. Like the Christmas “Is Thlre a Santa Claus?" the Thanksgiving “No Grandmothers There” struck a responsive chord In the hearts of its readers and at their request it has been reprinted by newspaper editors many, many times since it was written. Out in Kansas, Memorial day would not be Memorial day if the local newspaper did not reprint a bit of verse once written by one of the favorite poets of the Sunflower state. Here Is Walt Mason’s poem which appears regularly in Kansas newspapers around May 90: LITTLE GREEN TENTS The little green tents where the soldiers sleep, And the sunbeams play and the women weep Are covered with flowers today. And between the tents walk the weary few, Who were young and stalwart in sixty-two, When they went to the war away. The little green tents are built of sod. And they art not long and they are hot broad. But they have lots of room. And the sod is part of the land they saved When the flag of the enemy darkly waved. The symbol of dole and gloom. The little green tent is a thing divine: «• The little green tent is a country’s shrine, Where the patriots kneel and pray. And the brave men left, so old. so few. Were young and stalwart In sixty-two, When they went to the war away. But It doesn’t take an anniversary, such as Christmas. Thanksgiving or Memorial day. to produce a “Newspaper Classic." Sometimes it Is a piece of oratory which, when printed in a newspaper. seems to have as much appeal as when it is spoken. Then come requests for a reprinting in the paper Id which the speech was originally reported; other newspapers pick it up, and behold—another “Newspaper Classic", Once upon a time Senator George G. Vest of Missouri, while acting as an attorney in a law suit In which a Missouri “houn* dog” was involved. uttered a stirring tribute to “man’s best friend." And Vest’s “Dog Eulogy" has become a "Newspaper Classic" that has been reprinted thousands of times. The same is true of the “Blue Grass” masterpiece by Senator J. J. Ingalls of Kansas; of that tribute to “The corn, the corn, the royal corn," by Governor Oglesby of Illinois and of the eulogy on “Cotton” by John Trotwood Moore of Tennessee. Other states have from time to time produced “classics” of more than local fame, but few have become nationally known, as have those above mentioned. Not all "Newspaper Classics,” however, are such because of their appeal to the deeper emotions. Very often a bit of light vrse. just a flippant jingle with an unforgettable lilt of rhythm or striking phrase will so catch the public fttney that long after its . opniarity has apparently died down newspapers will receive a request for Its reprinting. How many times have George Thomas Lanigan’s “Ahkoond of Swat” or the verses about "Punch, Conductor. Punch With Care." the Joint composition of Isaac Bromley. Noah Brooks. W. C. Wyckoff and Moses P. Handy (they were not written by Mark Twain, as is often asserted, although be gave them wide circulation) been asked for and reprinted? Nobody knows!

India Kept Poor by Hidden Gold

Billions of Dollars’ Worth Secretly Hoarded or Used for Ornaments. Washington.—Five billion dollars’ worth of gold and sliver treasure Is sequestered in India in temple decorations, jeweled ornaments and bars of bullion, together with the bangles, anklets, necklaces and American “eagles,” with which millions of women array themselves, according to a new study of the legendary “wealth of the Indies” submitted to the United States Department of Commerce. “Frosen wealth,” the government economists call this treasure, for it is distributed and used tn such forms that It yields not a penny of return to Its owners nor a dollar of credit to carry on the world’s commerce. With a lofty indifference to International money markets and the needs of trade. India sprinkles gold dust over the food served at extravagant banquets. Immense quantities of gold and silver are used to array brides for their marriage ceremonies, and In a multitude of other forms of decoration. Gold is believed, moreover, to have an occult power of healing the sick “It Is a popular remedy In the native pharmacopoeia.” says the government study, “and medicines containing gold are favored for many diseases.” The World’s Gold Supply. All this has more than a picturesque Interest. It Involves the problem of altering the distribution of the world’s gold supply—a problem that took on new Importance when executives of the British. French and German Central banks and the American Federal Reserve system recently foregathered In New York and Washington, and with the adjustment of Federal Reserve rediscount rates below the European level. As the world recovered from the financial chaos of the war most nations have struggled back to. or toward, a gold standard for their currencies. To establish and maintain such standards they must have gold reserves. The currents of International trade and other Influences have brought to America’s coffers about, half of the world’s monetary stock of gold. But In the last quarter of a century India has been quietly absorbing Immense quantities of the yellow metal. With a store now estimated at about $2.500.000.()0(». she draws to herself a large part of the new gold produced from jear to year. Meanwhile, the world’s cold production has declined sharply from the maximum for this century, reached between 1910 and 101.1 Although there has been a recovery In part since 1022. this Increase has been vitiated. so far as monetary gold for the world Is concerned, by the Increase of Indian absorption. Proposed Remedies. In an attempt to halt pr at least retard this accumulation, far-retwhing changes are projected tn the Indian financial system. Adoption of a gold bullion basis for India’s currency: replacement of sliver rupees In clrcula tton by gold notes; establishment of a strong central bank; and extension of savings bank facilities are now proposed. All are designed largely to wean the Indian poprtlatlon away from the habit of hoarding gold and silver pieces and bullion bars. If that Is ever accomplished. India’s five billions and more of gold and silver In time will cease to be merely so much “frozen wealth." What disturbs bankers and econo mists Is not the size of India’s store of gold, great as It Is. so much as the way It Is treated. The United States bas more gold, our holdings being approximately S4.6OO.WX).(MM> But this Is working In an effective way. It serves as the foundation for the vast superstructure of credit employed at home and lately extended, with unprecedented swiftness, to the rest of the world. Great Wealth Unused. India’s gold Is idle. There Is lacking even a pretense of making It add anything to the productive forces or the comfort of India’s 300.000.000 people or their fellow-beings tn other lands. The exhaustive report submitted to Washington was prepared by Don C. Bliss. Jr., assistant trade commissioner at Bombay, under the prosaic title. "The Bombay Bullion Market 0 Mr Bliss says on this point: “Vast reserves have been accumulated In the course of many years—reserves estimated as amounting to *5.000,000.000 (Mr. Biles here tn eludes a 52.500.000.000 approximation of sliver holdings)—but they have been jealously hoarded in the form of unproductive precious metals. “Put |p productive uses, or loaned out In the world’s money markets.

they would suffice to make India one of the powerful nations of the world. “The traditional “wealth of the In dies’ Is there, but in such a form that It yields nothing to its possessors in the way of improved standards of living or the power to command the services of others.” Why Gold Is Hoarded. The wealth is scattered among millions of unorganized holders, and even the silver coins which constitute the metallic currency are snatched Into private hoards by the ryots or peasant fanners. This problem of hoarding, Bliss’ report shows. Is at the root of the pathetic plight of millions of these farmers. Hereditary custom, social organization, seasonal harvests and the still primitive financial system all Influence them to assemble any wealth they have In a readily portable form and often to hide It. In old days of tyranny and oppression. manifest prosperity was an Invitation to be stripped of one’s possessions. Hostile invasions also forced great southward migrations of people who, to save their wealth, bad to collect It In a highly concentrated form. These conditions have left their influence to this very day. Other Causes of Saving. The Hindu family, moreover, ordinarily holds all real property and household goods In common. The Individual wishing to save for his own use can segregate his savings only tn the form of gold and silver. Millions of the native population, too, have an access to banks. In time of stress they must draw on accumulated reserves or resort to the money lender—at 75 per cent interest. “Consequently,” Mr. Bliss wltes, “there is a strong tendency in times of prosperity to purchase small quantities of silver and gold In the form of coins, bullion or ornaments as a reserve against want. “Millions of people, particularly In south India and east India, never have a sufficient margin to do even this, as they have no savings whatever; this is evidenced by the necessity for famine relief measures in many sections as soon as there is a crop failure."
