swHAr JEFFERSON SAID.

In the columns Of the gold standard
organ has frequently been noticed
lately the following language credited
to Thomas Jefferson:
'eThe proportion between the values
of gold and silver is a mercantile prob
lem altogether. Just principles Will
lead US to disregard the legal PROPOSE
ton, to inquire into the market price
of gold in the several countries with
which we shall probably be connected
in commerce, and take an average from
them"
1t is not just clear what they are at
tempting to prove by this quotation.
What it does prove, however, is clear
enough 1t shows that Jefferson re-
garded silver as the monetary stand
ard of the country. He said nothing
about inquiring into the market price
Of silver. 1t was only gold, the mar
ket price of which in the several eoun-
tries with which we would probably be
commercially connected. that was to be
looked after with view to fixing its
just ratio to silver.
Jefferson's suggestion was followed
and a ratio was established. 1t was
slightly changed in 1894, being placed
at the figure existing today. The ratio
was all right and nobody objected to it
or demanded any change in the coin
age laws except a few who expected to
profit by such change.
If the coinage laws had been let
alone there would be no financial ques-
ton today and no talk of deprecated
silver. The talk of wanting to take SO
cents worth of silver and coin it into
a dollar emanates from the very people
who caused Biz grains of silver to be
worth but SO cents. That amount of
silver bullion was worth more than
dollar continuously and uninterrupted
ly until 1873.
Within year it fell to So cents and
has never been worth a dollar since.
If they had chosen to demonetize gold
instead of silver the condition would
have been reversed. There would
have been no adoption of the gold
standard by European nations; there
would have been no closing of the ms
dian minis to silver; silver would now
be the sole standard of value and gold
would be measured in it.
A monometallic currency has been
shown to be undesirable in the % years
in which it has been on trial and the
people want to return to bimetallism.

NO LYING WANTED.

Correspondents who send in COM
municatiOns on political subjects to the
State Journal are warned to conf1ne
themselves to the facts. We don't
want windy statements that the Re
publicans ARE on the run" or that the
"Populists are rapidly disappearing"
Statements that a Populist meeting or
a Republican meeting was a fizzle"
are not wanted. If the writer of the
article desires to be exact on such mat
tiers, he will have to give figures. We
object to printing lies on either side.
and we have discovered that it is hard
for a man who is a partisan to tell the
exact truth. Partisanship is a nuis-
ance in that it blinds the eyes of all
men to the exact truth. Correspondents
who send US false news will be immed-
lately cut off our list.

Colorado is utterly and completely

the depot when the trains pull in and
run around among the passengers who
get out to stroll on the platform, look

around him and shout, Here's one;

retreat to his car.

ize present educational methods and
make Chicago the intellectual center of
the world.
When Chicago gets to be the intel
lectuaI center of the world the intel
1ectuaI center of Chicago will be the
temple of light, otherwise known as
the pyramid and cube. This temple
of light is to combine the pyramid and
cube and is unique in design. The plans
were drawn by Mr.. Rintz, who is an
architectural craftsman. Mr. Orms-
by is credited with formulating the
scheme of the school which is to occupy
this wonderful structure. Mr.. Ormsby
Is the editor of Planets and People,
magazine devoted to astronomy, alchemy
and theosophy, and what he doesn' t
know about the occult sciences he pro-
poses to find out.
The first story is to be circular in
form, IA feet in diameter and 50 feet
high. with 10 classical columns. The
second story will be a very striking pure
white cube 81 feet square, and the roof
a gray colOsed pyramid. The stage of
circular form will occupy the center of
the first floor, and around it, like the
spol1es of a wheel, will be arranged nine
cIassrooms and lecture hall.
But the temple of light is not to be
mere freak of architecture alone. Here
is to be taught, in the words of Mr..
Ormsby, 1.-THE most all inclusive and
demonstrate system of education the
world has ever known. It is to be an
institution in which human life in its
higher and grander development may be,
attained, an institution not unlike the
Alexandrian schools of old, the schools
of ancient Greece, Rome and other cen
tiers of learning when those countries
were in their ascending scale, striving
for supremacy in intellectual and spir-
ituaI attachments. Reincarnated souls
who once graced those ancient halls of
learning are among us today, and the
time is ripe for this new temple of light,
which has been planned for some years,
and which we feel is so much needed in
a world of comparative darkness and at
a time when the mind of man is opening
rapidly to grander themes of life and
being"
Warming to his subject, Mr.. Ormsby
modestly continues: "Giant minds will
here receive a new impetus to take up
the themes Of life and creation, to re-
veal the histories of the past, to recon-
slider the ancient and so called sacred
writings, to study again the works of
Plato, Pythagoras, Aristotle, Lycurgus,
Josephus, the works of Shakespeare and
many other writers, whose minds were
more or less illumined by the light of
other days, and they will draw from
these records of the past a new inspira-

THE BAR,g ARE DOwN

"a party which cannot be split is a
public menace" said ex-President Har-
rison in his speech at Carnegie hall
Thursday night. The sentiment will
be Endorsed throughout the country.
Proceeding along this line he said:
when the leaders of party assem-
bled in convention. depart from its ira
|, ditiOnal principles and advocate doc
trines that threaten the integrity of the
government, the social order of our
communities and the security and
soundness of our finance, it ought to
split, and it dignifies itself when it
does split. A bolt from any party is
now and then a most reassuring Incl
dent and was never more reassuring
and never had better cause than now"
This sentiment will also, without
doubt, meet the approval of Senators
Teller, Dubois, Pettigrew, Congressman
Towne and a host of Republicans
throughout the country. They will be
pleased to be informed in this public
way that their course is Endorsed by
so eminent a gentleman as Benjamin
Harrison.
A campaign like the present one has
never before been witnessed in this
country. Hitherto the campaign ora
tors duty has not been considered as
fully discharged until he had urged his
hearers to stand by the party nomi-
nees. even though opposed to the plat
form. 1t has been the custom to urge
that differences of opinion on matters
of public policy can and should be set
tied within the party. But now they
are told to bolt, leave the party if they
don't like the platform.
And Benjamin Harrison is not alone
in giving this advice. On the same
evening in a speech in another part of
the same state VIM. J. Bryan, the can
didate of three parties for the presi-
dency, said practically the same thing.
He said:
And when a majority of a party
writes a platform the others in the
party must either stand upon it or get
out of the party. (Applause) There
is no other plan known except the rule
of a majority or the rule of a minority
and it is better for a minority to be
alienated than for the voice Of a ma
jority to be suppressed
Thus is everybody absolved from par
ty allegiance by these two great party
leaders. Having discovered that the
people cannot longer be held in the
party traces they now tell them to go.
