An Old Ci%v

an O4NA NxCY
Old cities are not common in the
West. In the eastern states of the.
Union are places which boast cutie.
respectable antiquity for the New
World, but outside of the original
thirteen colonies, most cities have
been founded within the last half
century. A notable exception among
the larger Western cities is st. Louis.
The first recorded settlement, in the.
way OF laying out a town, was nv
Pierre Laclede Liguest, a French
man, in Feb, 1764. At the time he
supposed he was taking possession
OF the site in the interest of his native.
country. 1t was not until some
months afterwards that he. learned
OF the Treaty of Paris, in the previ-
GUS year, by which the territory
west OF the Mississippi was coded to-.
Spain. In 1900 it became French
again, until the financial necessities
OF Napoleon compelled him to sell il
to the United States for $12,OOO,-
900, a purchase for which Thomas
Jefferson was roundly abused at the
time. Now, St. Louis is one of the
most beautiful, prosperous and
stately cities in the Union. To reach
it, Tor business or pleasury, The Bur
lington,. with it's line skirting the
Mississippi, is the only route worth
considering: For rates, tickets,
maps and time tables, apply to your

system is defective; that all money should be is
sued directly by the government to the people
at low rate of interest and in sufficient volume
to meet legitimate demands, and that silve,
should have all the rights in coinage and the
qualities Of legal tender that gold possesses
All the organizations that will be
represented at St Louis are non-parti
san and none of them are political par.
ties Hence the resolutions above are
strictly in accord with their laws.
The action at st. Louis may be some
what in advance of these resolutions in
urging the members of these organiza-
tions to vote for the party that indorses
their principles.
They can go no farther and should
go no farther, because the members of
these organizations belong to different
parties and any attempt to turn them
into a political party as body would
be an injustice to the mem bers of all
other parties belonging to those organ
izations.
In fact the alliances and other kim
dred organizations are a primary
school as it were, through which the
members are advanced in the school OF
political reform until they graduate
into the peoples party.-Robert Schill-
ing, Secretary Executive Committee

Congressman Horton. of Ohio

Congressman Horton, of Ohio, has
introduced bill repeating the law
which prevents state banks from issu.
ing their notes as currency. This is
the old system from which the exigen-
cies of the war happily freed us. and no
friend of progress can wish its return.
There is no reason why one mans note
should circulate as money any more
than another's, and a government that
will give such privilege or franchise
to an individual or corporation is not a
government for the people, we care not
what it may call itself-Progressive

were to have possession OF . brickyard owned
