Mn. FERNANDO WooD has intro
duced in the House of Representatives
at Washington q bill ''tO prevent the
contraction and expansion of the
money market and give elasticity to
the currency This 10 to be done by
the issue Of twenty-five millions of
legal tenders, which are to be placed
in the hands Of assistant Trcasurcrs
at New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Chicago. to be loaned by them on
n pledge Of United States bonds, un-
der certain circumstances and upon
certain conditions. The idea is that
it will then be in power of merchants
and business men to prevent q disas-
trous 'lOck up" such as was recently
experienced and complained of in New
York. But it will also he in their
power to bring about an equally great
disaster in the other directiOn-that
of currency excess. The proposition
is but one of q great many attempts
made within the past ten years to reg
ulate the money market by legislation.
They have all failed. Mr.. Thadeus
Stevens once pressed q bill through
Congress regulating the premium on
gold. It produced an effect quito the
reverse of what was intended, and
was very soon repealed. The money
problem must be left ont. 1t must be
shaped by the laws of demand and
aunnly. and all efforts to subject 1t to
any other control will be fruitless fall
nres. or worse. We trust the wisdom
Of Congress will dictate the policy Of
letting the currency question severely
alone for the prescnt.-1St. Louis
Democrat.

as true as it is old, and its truth 10 again
exempli6cd by the completion Of the
New Line to the East ria Creston and
Burlington, which, though the last, may
be called the best route in the West.
The Line consists Of the Kansas
City, St. Joseph 4 Council Bluffs Il.

City. through Atchison, Leavenworth
and St. Joseph to the Missouri St,te
Line, there connecting with the Bur
lingtou Route, which leads direct to Chi
cago, Cincinnati, indianapolis, Logans-
port and Columbus-thrOugh cars are
being run to all these points.
This Line is we'll built, thoroughly
equipped with every modern improve
ment, including Pullman's Sleeping and
Dining Cars, and nowhere else can the
passenger % completely depend or q
speedy, safe and comfortable journey.
The Burlington Route has admira-

AT the meeting of the Andrew
County Library Association, last FRI
day, measures were taxed for its per-
petuation and improvement. We arc
glad of this. 1t is an institution
which will be productive of much
good to the community, and our pub.
lic-spirited citizens should see 10 it
that it docs not SO down from want
Of patronage aud attention. The
low price Of membership and tho cx.

should insure its prosperity. Let

dissemination Of literature attend the
festival that is to take place next
month to aid this enterprise.

In the soxshconing life Of Abraham
Lincoln, by WsrdH Lamon, from the
press Of J. Il. OsgUod & Co, il this in
teresting passage concerning his step
mother, who always called him "Abe:"
Mrs. Lincoln was never able to speak
of Abe's conduct to her without tears.
In her interview with Mr.. Herndon,
when the sands Of her life had nearly
run out, she spoke with deep emotion
of her own son, but said she thought
that Abe was kinder, better, truer than
the other. Even the mothers instinct
was lost as she looked back over those
long years of poverty and privation in
the Indiana cabin, when Abe's CRATE
full love softened the rigors Of her lot,
and his great heart and giant frame
were always ut her command. ABE
was . poor boy" says she, "and l can
say what scarcely one woman or
mother can say in . thousand, Abc
never gave me q cross word or look,
and never refused, in fact or appear
ance, to do anything l requested him.
I never gave him q cross word in all
my life. Ills mind n mine-What
little 1 had-seemed to run together.
lie was here after he was elected
President" Cat this point the aged
speaker turned away to weep, and
Wiping her eyes with her apron, went
on with the story.) HE was dutiful
to me always. Think he loved me
truly. 1 had q son John who wss
raised with Abe. Both were good
boys; but I must say, both now being
dead, that Abe was the best boy ! ever
saw, or ever expect to zee l wish l
had died when my husband died. 1
did not want Abe to run for President;
did not want him elected: was afraid
somehow-felt 1t in my heart and
when he came down to q me, after he
was elected President, l still felt that
something told me that something
would befall Abe, and that l should
see him no more"

Obituary.

Judge Thomas III. CIsrkc, an aged
and highly respected citizen of thii
community, departed this life at the
residence Of his son-in-law, Mi. p
Hyde, in Savannah, Missouri, on Fri
day, the 18th day Of April, 1872
The deceased was born in Utica, New
York, August q, 1898, where he
served an apprenticeship and worked
awhile at the printing business; thence
he removed to Terre Haute, Indiana,
where his sterling qualities were SO far
recognized As to secure an election by
the people to the Office of Sheriff OF
Vigo county and also Associate JUS
tice of the district. In 1929 he re-
moved to Manhattan, Putnam county,
Indiana, and in 1886 settled in Savan-
nah, Mo. In 1857 he was appointed,
under the administration of President
Buchanan, to the position Of Pen
sion Agent for the State of Missouri,
the duties of which Office required his
removal to St. Louis. In 1861 lie re-
turned to Savannah once more, where
he resided until his death. The de-
ceased was once Postmaster at Savan-
nah, and also Justice of the Peace for
q time. Our citizens knew Judge
Clarke as q pure-minded, honest citi-
zen, winning the love and respect of
all whose fortune it was to be intimate
with him. His long life has been one
replcte with usefulness and good
works, and his many firm friends in
various parts of the country will be
panied to learn of the demise of their
old companion and true friend. His
last moments were calm and peaceful,
and he sank quietly and ~serenely into
the arms of death, putting trust in
Him "who doeth all things WELL"
The remains were inferred in the
cemetery near this city on Sunday,
the 21st inst, under the auspices of
Savannah Lodge No. II and Ben
Franklin Lodge No. $50, who per-
formed the last earthly rite owe their
deceased brother with all the honors
of Masonry. Judge Clarke was made
q Mas on in 1915, in Utica. New York.
and up to the time Of his death has
been ali honorcd and worthy member
OF that order.

Reduced Fare,

Mr.. A. c. DAWES. the efficient and
live General Passenger Agent of the
Kansas City, st. Joseph and Council
Bluffs Railroad, writes us that he has
reduced the fare between Savannah
and st. Joseph to one dollar and
twenty-five cents for the round trip.
These tickets will be good for one
trip from Savannah to st. Joseph and
return. and will be good until used
Our citizens will be glad of this, and
we think the increase of travel will
repay the railroad company for the
reduction.

pcct for wheat in our township il very
poor. most Of the wheat having been
killed by the exceeding hard winter.
Where it was sown with the drill
early enough to get a good start before
the winter set in. the prospect is fair:
but most of the farmers were afraid
to SOW on account of the chintz bug.
Yet a great many farmers arc trying
spring wheat. The bugs arc numcr-
Gus, and on warm days they may bc
seen without number. We are afraid
spring wheat withstand a poor chance,
il being the favoritc with the chintz
bug. But We hope to hear of their
early departure. I. II.
