A LOVING TRIBUTE.

New light on home seen Nature beamed.
New glory over Woman;
And daily life and duty seemed
No longer poor and common
Ger rank and pomp, as he had seen,
l saw the man uprising:
No longer common or uncIean,
The child of Gods baptising
And if at times an evil strain
To lawless love appealing,
Broke in upon the sweet refrain
OF pure and healthful feeling,
1t died upon the eye and ear,
No Inward answer gaining;
No heart had to see or hear
The discord and the straining
Let those who never erred forget
His worth in brain bewailings:
Sweet Soul Of Song-I owe my debt
Uncancelled by thy feelings.
Give lettered pomp to teeth of Time.
So Bonnie Doom but tarry;
Blot out the Epics stately rhyme,
But spare us Highland Mary.

Some men, observing the small per
centage Of actual money used in the
clearing house business, flipDantly as
sumo that all business there may be
done with the usual forms of private
credit, and that actual money is not
an important factor. That is wrong.
The amount of actual money needed
is small but it is very important.
About one dollar Of money to twenty
dollars of business is not far from the
average, necessary to prevent bank
ruptcies. Less than that appr caches
the danger line. Hence, the contrac-
ton Of one dollar Of actual money,
kills, or places at increased hazard,
twenty dollars of business. A little
thought in this line will show the rea-
son OF the great fluctuations in the
amounts of clearing house business
from time to time by changes in the
volume OF the money of the country.

PETER COO PER ON MONEY.

The government should issue all
the currency that is used by the peo-
pie, whether it be gold, silver or paper,
and it should be made legal tender for
all debts, public and private.
All surplus currency now in the
treasury should be used to cancel
bonds, and thus stop interest on the
same.
Government paper money should
be substituted for national bank
notes.
The government should give the
same volume of money with which to
pay debts that was in circulation
when those debts were contracted.
The increase in the established
volume of the currency should be put
in cir culation by employing labor on
public works or used to cancel the
public debt, whereby all the people
are benefited, instead Of giving it to
bankers to loan to the people at high
rates of interest and to increase the
public debt, as is now being DONE

TRIBUTES
TO ROBERT BURNS-SWEET SONGS
FOR THE SWEETEST SINGER.

Il O6 he . w SINGER.
THE CENTENARY OF BURNS BIRTH.
The century shrivels like scroll.
The past becomes the present;
And face to face and soul to soul
We greet the monarch-peasant
We love him not for sweetest song
Though never tone so tender:
We love him even in his wrong
His Wasteful self-surrender
We praise him not for gifts divine
His muse was born of woman
His manhood breatheS in every line
Was ever heart more human?
We love him, raise him just for this
In every form and feature:
Through wealth and want, through woe and
bliss
He saw his fellow creature.
No soul could sink beneath his love-
Not even angel blasted;
No mortal power could soar above
The pride that all outlasted.

Debs, who had an opportunity to make
hund reds of thousands of dollars but

erty by selling his principles, is

But, in regard to these continents,
circumstances are eminently and con-

that the Allied Powers should extend
their political system to any portion of

believe that our southern brethren, if
left to themselves, would adopt it of
their own accord. 1t is equally impossi-
bic, therefore. that We should behold
such interposition, i'll any form, with
Indifference. If we look to the com
parative strength and resources of Spain

A WAY OUT.-That an English
paper should suggest how England
and the United States may settle their
differences without either "backing
down." is a pretty fair indication that
the opposition to war in that country
is deep and outspoken. The West.
minister Gazette says: "While the
question intrinsically, is not impor-
tant, incidentally it is OF the greatest
Importance. Great Britain cannot
retreat from the position which she
has taken, and the United States will
not retreat from hers. A method OF
escape from this deadlock which shall
impose neither humiliation nor retreat
on either side is to find something
which is not arbitration, but which Is
as like it as possible" In furtherance
OF this view the Gazette suggests that
both countries agree upon a board
of Cancellation, not binding them
selves as in the case of arbitration to
accept its decisions, but ON the chance
of the conciliators being able to sug-
gest q compromise acceptable to both
countries. Ir conclusion it remarks
ave firmly believe a couple of i'm
partial; sensible men, say the chief
justices of the two countries, could
easily settle the matter by this
method"

Literally Carrying War into Africa

England seems very likely to get into
trouble with Germany over an inva.
sion OF the Boer territory, in South
Africa, by an armed force Of the Brit
ish South Africa Company, number
; ing about 100 men armed with Maxim
guns, under command OF DIR. Jamie
son, British Commissioner OF the
Transvaal. President Kreuger has
called upon the burghers to defend
their country and "a serious conflict is
imminent. This invasion has created
intense excitement in Germany and
the kiense Zeitrng is led to remark
Everywhere the same greed and bad
faith. To-day it is Africa. Yesterday
it was South America"
There is considerable similarity in
the two cases, for England has been
for many years an aggressor upon the
Dutch colonists at Cape Colony. Be-
coming a British possession in 1914,
that government had to encounter the
most bitter hatred. The Beers could
not become reconciled to the
change. They obstinately chung to
their customs and traditions, and the
inconsiderate policy OF those placed in
charge of the interests of the home
government continually widened the
breach. This feeling led to their mi
grafton and settlement of the interior,
or vaal, where independent govern
ment was established. As early az
1910, Gov. Napier, by proclamation
denied their right to form an indepen.
dent community, even beyond the
boundaries OF the British possessions.
The Beers struggled against the
Zulus, and not soldier was sent BY
Great Britain for their protection.
When, however, they had overcome
the Caffres, by their own unaided eff.
forts, in lS45, the colonial government
took possession of their country by .ex.
tension of boundary, about the same
way as has been done in British
Guiana. After many conflicts and
much loss of life, in 1854 the Orange
River and Transvasl republics were
recognized by England. The area of
Transvaal is about GO, 900 square miles.
and its population about 40, 600 people.
The late invasion is but renewal OF
the insolent treatment Of weaker ma
tions by the agents of Great Britain.
The Colonial Secretary maintain that
the home government is not response.
BILE for Jameson's conduct, bnt that a
different view is entertained by Ger.
many is indicated by the assurance ex.
tended the Beers by Emperor William
OF moral support and the adoption oil

sists in her course.

Sensational Journalism.

San Francisco is becoming the city
OF sensations. Either the people are
wickeder than the inhabitants of any
other city OF its size, or the local pa.
pers make more out of each succeeding
scandal by gloating over the disgusting
details, certain it is that the city from
the showing presented leads in the
commission of crimes which strike at
the very root of social purity.
The publication of details of licen.
tiousness can have but bad effect
upon those who read them. To IA
miliarize the mind with crime is to de.
tract from its horrors. No greater
truth has been framed in verse than
that
Vice is monster of so frightful mein
AS to be hated, needs but to be seen:
But seen too Oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity. then embrace"
So apt is man in his hereditary dis.
position for imitation that many years
ago France prohibited the publication
OF the details of suicide. There seemed
to be O mania for new and untried
ways of I" shutting off this mortal coil, .
and no sooner was a newer one discov'
cred than it found imitators. The
fumes of burning charcoal, coal gas
and various other agencies were discov
cred and became the fad for the time
being for self-destruction. Finally one
