was only Aguinaldo and n handful of
rebels who were holding out In the
light of Gen. Iawtons statement that

the Ifilipinos are as earnestly in favor

THE MORPHINE HABIT IN

1t is stated by prominent physicians
that morphine fends are becoming start
lingly frequent. Owing to their delicate
nervous organization, the habit finds
greater number of its victims among wo-
men, although men are not exempt. They
take the deadly stuff whenever they feel
depressed or have slight ailment, and
before they realize find themselves in
the grasp Of practice which can but
end in the grave, or worse, the mad
house. This morbid craving comes from

point came up in a Nebraska case, and
the Supreme Court Of that State cites

but North Carolina papers have now
been publishing notices of the Nebraska
decision as something new and advanced
and endorsing it.
Some six or seven years since the
North Carolina court held that the old
doctrine that an action for seduction
must be brought by the father on the
ground of loss of services was fiction.
since the damages We're out of all pro-

cause of action being damages for the

Arkansas has now cited and followed
the North Carolina decision, and the
New York Sun has given it a long
notice-"Common sense in Arkansas

have noticed. This is North Cardinals

WALL. STREET GOING OVER TO
BRYAN?
Republican.

Springfield Republican.
The talk in financial circles six
months or less ago was of the over
abundance of the money volume. 1t is
now of the scarcity of money and the
need of additions to the supply.
Through gold imports, estimated domes-
tie gold production and some little in
crease in bank note circulation. the
amount of money outstanding in banks
and among the people has been in
creased some S300,000.000 in the past
three years. But such has been the ex-
pansion in commodity prices, in specula
ton in business reorganizations and in
trade activity, that this enlargement of
the circulation has been more than alb
sorbed. and the markets are now pound
ing against close money conditions
which forbid much further expansion.
And this is not the season of the year
when money is normally in most active
demand.
Accordingly there has risen a de-
mand that measures at once be adopted
to increase the money volume. and this
|situation of the markets is actually be-
ing set up by conservative people as Il
strong practical reason why currency
reform should he FASTENED and the
banks be given liberty to issue notes on
their resources i'm more unlimited vol
ume than is now possible.
Currency reform used to he urged for
the purpose merely of establishing the
gold standard on more assured basis
and substituting bank notes for United
States notes or greenbacks. 1t is now
beng urged for the purpose simply of
initiating the currency. Thus the New
York Journal of Commerce says:
The vast transactions now going on
and the volume of business that must
come In the autumn; must impress
every observer with sense of the inn
perative need of larger volume of
paper currency and of some means of
expanding the aggregate supply of cir
clllation in response to the requirements
of commerce, whether these be tempo
rary or permanent.
Which sounds like sentence taken
from the stump deliverances of some
populist orator. The only difference is
that the popuIist would have the gov
crnment supply the larger volume Of
paper currency" while the Journal Of
Commerce would have the banks sup

The currency reform movement may
well pray to he delivered from the pat
ronage Of these populistic spectators.
The present limitations upon the money
volume are holding them in check at the
moment, and it is well. To deliberately
feed out more money to them would be
folly. We are very far from being
soldly and fatty on gold basis as it
is For every dollar of gold in sight
there are nearly three dollars in paper
and silver. and this is about all the cur
rency padding the gold system will
stand, even in fairly good times. If we
are going to stick to gold. the need is 10

is due TO the abundant harvests made
