they would be able to issue by the pro-
visions of the pending bill would be to place
in the hands of the banks the credit of
the entire people and the power in times of
financial pressure and financial ~stringency
absolutely TO bankrupt thousands of people
by calling in loans in the regular conduct
of their banking business. This bill places
in the hands of the national banks the con-
troll of the bonded debt of the country"
said Mr.. Jones. Whenever the banks see
fit they can reduce the gold reserve below
the limit and force an issuance of bonds,
and the process can go on Indefinitely"
Mr.. Jones spoke with bitter sarcasm Of
the financial dependence of the United
States, declaring that a cock fight in India
or a war in Africa with the Beers dis
turbed the finances of so, 000,0 600 Americans.
He maintained that this country should
have it's own distinctive money which
would not desert us in time of trial, and
in conclusion advocated the issue of a pa
per currency by the government alone.
This currency should be entirely inde-
pendent of gold, silver or anything else
that possessed inherent value. Such money,
he argued, regulated in amount in accord
ance with the population Of the country,
will be the best and steadiest money ever
seen in the world.

DEMOCRATS NOT HARMONIOUS.


Will Return TO fr0mkIOTts
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 1o.-The first
sign of a break in the Democratic nnes
was noticeable to-day. 1t came In the
shape of a resolution offered by Senator
Triplett, providing that on adjournment
Thursday the Legislature name Frankfort
as it's next meeting place. While no action
on the resolution was taken to-day 1t is
believed to f~oreshadow a return OF the
Democratic legislators to the State capital
soon. possibly by the end of the week.
This action will probably be taken when a
report is received from the committee sent
to Frankfort on conditions as to the pres
ence about the Capitol of militia or armed
men and as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF resum-
ing sessions at the usual meeting place.
This is rendered more likely as the defec-
ton occurred in the Senate, where the
Democrats nave a bare working quorum.
With the resumption of legislative busi-
ness at Frankfort in prospect and the
transfer to the courts of the claims OF the
rival governors, as seems likely TO be
brought about within a few days, the
clouds are rapidly lifting and it is be-
lieved normal political conditions may be
restored in the State in two or three weeks.
That much time at least will be required to
secure the adjudication of the issues be-
tween the parties. If the federal courts de-
eide they have jurisdiction 1T will take
much longer.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Members of
Congress were greatly shocked at the news
of Representative Chickering's violent
death. The news of his death was kept
from Mrs. Chickering for fear the shock
would prove too great, and arrangements
were made for her to go to New York. Mr..
Chickering was one Of the well known and
universally esteemed men in the House.
He was last seen here when the vote on
the financial bill was taken. He insisted on
coming on crutches in order to record his
vote for the bill.
The members Of the New York delega-
ton held a meeting as soon as they were
apprised of his death and appropriate reso-
lutions were drafte, for presentation to the
House. The lead members desk was
draped and wreathed in flowers when the
House met at noon. The resolutions were
adopted and then at 1926 p. m. as a further
mark of respect, the House adjourned.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 13.-Morgan z. Gable,
editor of the Pittsburg Times Rep), who
has for the past two weeks been at Frank
fort, KY, studying the political situation,
tonight telegraphs the Times the first
authorized and complete statement Gov.
W. s. Taylor has made of his position
since Senator Goebel was shot. In the
statement, after reciting the causes that
led up to the peculiar situation in Ken
lucky, the Governor ~justifies his course in
adjourning the Legislature and investing
the capital with troops to prevent blood
shed. He says, further:
at seems clearly my duty, not only to
myself, but to the people of Kentucky, to
retain the position that 1 now hold until
Invested of it as provided by law and the
Constitution.
THE militia canot possibly endanger the
life of any one. but will protect the inter-
ests of all. / feel that it is my bounden
duty to retain a sufficient number of these
preservers of the peace at this time, be-
cause of the violent attacks made upon
this administration by the partisan press;
because of the threats made by the press
and by hundreds of people who read these
attacks.
"I receive almost daily incendiary letters
threatening that my life shall be taken,
and that the public buildings shall be de-
stroyed by dynamite. 1t would be sheer
folly. in view of these things, for me to
expose my life and the public property by
withdrawal of the militia.
"I predict that quiet will not come again
to our people until thiss badge of slavery
(the present election law is removed. Ken
tuckians are by instinct and nature lovers
of liberty, and nothing chafes them SO
much as to know that they are deprived OF
privileges that belong to them My hope
and prayer are hat the dark cloud that
now enshrouds us may soon be dispelled
and peace and quiet return, and that the
people be given back their liberties. When
this is done 1 shall remain in full content
