No government paper money system
can possess tho element of elasticity
which is needed in thoroughly sound
and sufficient national currency. Under
our present system currency accumu-
lates and stagnates for the greater part
of the year in New York. At last it is
demanded to move the crops in the west
and many millions of dollars are ship
ped out to western banks to be used for
this purpose. Under a correct system
the western banks would be able to in
crease their note issues in the fall when
there is an imperative need for more
money and would not be forced to bor-
row so heavily from the east. After the
crops had been marketed this extra cur
roncy would flow into the banks issuing
it for redemption in gold.
In Canada, which has an elastic cur
rency, the volume of money in circula-
ton always depends on the demand for
the use of currency for business pur-
poses. With us there is no way of meet
ing temporary demand except by the
starting of new banks or by an act of
congress increasing the volume of green
backs We arc Il pretty smart people,
but in some things we arc far behind
other nations. Sound Money

That the human being was intended
for greater length Of life than is usually
attained in our artificial existence is
probable from tho fact that he does not
reach his full and complete development
until his twenty fifth year. Tho life Of
most of the low animals is recloned to
DO about five times their maturity in a
natural condition, and, although dis
turbing causes interfere with human
lifo in the present day, yet within GER
tain limits man is subject to tho same
laws as every other type of existence in
either the animal or the vegetable king.
DOM
Nature has assigned to him n certain
period during which he should attain to
n sound physical and mental maturity,
and any attempt to curtail that period
by early forcing is and must be nooos-
sarily productive Of lamentable results
Tho boy or girl may be developed under
system of steady examining" into a
highly accomplished man or woman,
long before full ago has been reached
but it may BIO accepted as an axiom i'll
almost all instances that the earlier tho
development the earlier the decay. Tho
lesson to be learned from the records of
those who have lived to advanced years
is that moderation III all things, whether
physical or intellectual. is the secret of
long life, and that it is easy by SYSTEM
atically violating this rule TO produce an
artificial old ago. Nineteenth Century

SCHOOLS AND POLITICS.
"a Scheme With Real Estate Trimmings
That Won In Oregon.

Ahes WIN Al OTSScn'
Speaking Of schools in relation to
politics, said the ex boomer from Ore
gon, always reminds me of campaign
in which / wars interested some years
ago. The Douglas county representative
in the Oregon state Legislature, realiz-
ing that his popularity was not exceed
ingly great, had been talking Of build
ing a new state normal school, presum.
ably at Roseburg, the county seat and
his own home. This caused great con-
sternation among the $50 inhabitants
of the little city of Drain, who had been
profiting by the courtesy title Of Drain
Academy and Oregon State Normal
school, under which the school there
had been run since 1885. The postmas-
ter, who kept drug store and sold
school supplies, took counsel with his
sister-in law, who dealt in millinery
and ran boarding house for students
and she sought the mayor, at whose
general merchandise emporium she was
the principal customer.
1.-THE mayor was man who thought
slowly, but to purpose and, having
set himself the task Of devising some
way of circumventing the member
from Roseburg. he passed the next three
days in profound cogitation. He con-
ceived scheme whose various elabora-
tions and qualifications were too diver
sifed for him to handle alone, and he
came to me for help, had just gained
considerable influence in the county
through backing a projected railroad to
the coast, and also as O real estate deal
er and sawmill owner With my bust
ness methods and the mayors lnowl-
edge Of tho conditions confronting US
our plans We're soon put into operation
First, we suggested the candidacy of an
ambitious young Drainite, dealer in
leather goods and hardware, for mem
Der of the legislature, taking all the
wind out of his opponents sails by
heartily indorsing the talk in favor of
new normal school Meantime we had
large grain field of the mayors, which
had begun to lose it's fertility on &C.
count of GENERALIZATION, surveyed into
city lots, and as soon as our candidate
had received tho regular party nomina.
ton we put the town site of East Drain,
with its streets named after conspicuous
men of the state on the market and
gave one of it's centrally located blocks
for the now normal school.
"Wol!, everything came to pass ez-
actly as we had planned. Our candidate
was elected, and tho building Of the new
normal school on the site we gave was
authorized. We sold sufficient num-
Der of East Drain lots to more than pay
for the land and all expenses The con.
tractors on the new school were men
who had aided the legislation authoriz.

the mayor, their hardware from the
member and their lumber from mo- My

masters increased business soon war
ranted his moving into one of the two
brick buildings in the city of Drain, and

hardware is still member of the Oregon
