street, the gait being sufficiently running aud

the mud. Fashions change in lifting the jupe.
Last year, a cluster of what dressInakcrs call

CURRENCY REFORlT.

The subject of currency reform hav-
ing been launched anew upon the coun-
try both by the president in his mes
sage to congress and by Secretary of
the Treasury Gage in his report, that
matter will now be again aired extern
| slVely and form one of the prominent
| topics for national discussion for
| months to come. Not all the reform
| needed can be accomplished at this
session OF congress, and the president
realizing the obstacles IN the way, has
suggested only partial remedy for
the trouble. If nothing is done on the
subject and the government revenues
do not materially increase, then more
bond issues will come and more locking
up OF gold. The president has done
well to urge that something be done in
the case in order that the financial sit
uation be relieved Of one of it's stumb-
ling blocks. And 1t is hope that there
will be enough clear headed and pat
rlotlc men in congress to ensure the
adoption of at least the partial remedy
suggested. Secretary Cages plan for
currency reform, which the president
lndorses, involves the funding of $780,
100000 government notes into 2b per
cent. bonds, specifically payable in
gold, and an enlargement of the note
Issuing powers Of national banks to the
par of the government bonds deposited
to secure it, and besides that, to 25
per cent without security Of the par of
the refunding bonds deposited. The
entire issue, secured and unsecured. is
to be guaranteed by the government
and to protect the government against
loss from its guarantee a tax of two
per cent. per annum is to be laid on the
unsecured notes to create a. safety
fund. No bank notes are to be issued
Of less denomination than $40: all Of
them are to be redeemed at the govern
ment sub-treasuries, and for redemp-
ton, fund Of 10 per cent. is to be
furnished by the banks This is sub
stantially what Mr.. Gage recommends.
Congress will tackle the subject in due
time, and will, it is hoped, enact such
measures that the country will be spar
ed any more object lessons illustrating
the need Of currency reform.
The management of the national fl
nances is, however, too much at the
mercy of men in our national legisla-
ture who are unable to grasp the SUBJ
ject and have also too many political
fences to keep in order.

bloomer girls object was to circle
around, so as to reach the starting
point, where she knew she could explain
matters. So she turned west on Lindell
Boulevard and south on Taylor, and af-
ter hard half hours ride brought up
at the starting point. She had barely
reached there than her pursuer arrived,
and close behind him were the two 9TH
ers.
Painting and breath1ess, each tried to
explain, but after a few words every
one began to laugh And the young
man had to take the whole party over
to buy ice cream soda in an effort to
hush the matter up. But it is still TO be
decided whom the laugh is on.--St. LOU
