QUIT YOUR WHINING.

There isn't anything in the world
more disagreeable than whining per-
son, says Medical Talk. He wines if it
is hot. He whines if it is cold. He
wines at this, he whines at that, he
wines at everying. Whine, whine,
whine.
1t is just a habit he has fallen into.
There is nothing the matter with him.
1t is just bad habit.
The wilmer is generally an idle or a
lazy one. What he needs is to be set to
work. Real hard work mental or physi-
cal. Some work that will interest him
and engage his whole attention and
he will not have time towhine.
We know two women. One of them
does her own Homework and other work
besides. She is happy all day long.
Ike keyboard of her life sounds no whin-
ing note. 1t is a pleasure to be with
her, good, wholesome tonic to watch
her.
The other woman is so situated that
she does not have to work. Nothing to
do but amuse herself. She has no zest
in life, no interest in anything. She is
bunch of selfshness and whines at
everything. Whining has become such
a habit with her that her most casual
remark is tinged with whine. She is
miserable herself and makes everybody
else in her presence miserable. She is
a weakling, a parasite. A drag, a heavy
weight on somebody all the time.
Get the whine out of your voice, or it
will stop the development and growth
of,your body. 1t will narrow and shrink
your mind. 1t will drive away your
friends. 1t will make you unpopular.
Quit your whining. Brace up. Go tt
work. Be something. Stand for some
thing. Fill your place in the universe
Itstead of whining around exciting only
pity and contempt, face. Reach up tc
the stature Of a stature of a strong, en-
nobling manhood to the beauty ant
strength of superb womanhood.
There is nothing the matter with you
Just quit your whining and so to work

CALEB POWERS TO HANG.

A third time Caleb Powers who con-
spired to kill Governor Goebel Of Ken
lucky, has been found guilty of such
conspiracy and has been sentenced to
hang for completely in that cold blooded
murder. Three separate and distinct
trials were given Powers, so there can
be no possible doubt as to his guilt.
But what does the fugitive from JUS
tice- ex-governor Taylor of Kentucky
say? He is now under the protecting
arm of Gov. Durbin of Indiana, who re-
fuses to deliver Taylor to the authors
ties of Kentucky for trial on a charge
similar to that established against
Powers. Taylor says the verdict in the
Powers case is an Outrage" and that
he was not given fair trial.
He, himself fugitive from justice, is
pretty character to criticise the al
legged injustice of the courts of Ken
tncky. He is like the offender who fees
from a policeman to avoid punishment
and condemns the policeman thief fol
trying to catch him.
Taylor has motive in his madness
and doubtless realizes that his connec
ton with the gubernatorial assassina
tion perhaps makes it imperative that HI
should stay away from justice and ht
is staying away as industriously az

FoWLER's CURRENCY SCHEME

Congressman FoWler, ASSET currency |
reformer, has planned new reform
bill for introduction when congress
meets. It's three principal features are
said to be these:
1. A provision for "impounding' the
greenbacks by requiring the banks to
hold 80 per cent of their reserves in
those notes, thus divesting them of
their power for HARM
2. A provision for depositing all
government funds in the national banks,
the government taking first lien on
the assets of the banks as security and
getting per cent interest on the de
posits from those institutions.
3. A provision permitting the banks
to issue notes for circulation secured
only by their general assets and guar
antee fund made up of a deposit in gold
equal to per cent of the notes issued,
plus per cent annual tax on those
notes, plus the per cent interest paid
on government deposits.
AS to the first, why not require the
banks to hold the other 80 per cent Of
their reserves in silver certificates?
This would "impound" them and deprive
them of their ''power for harm" which
is quite as great as that of the green
backs. 1t would also bring out more
glaringly the impotence Of the proposal
L / la Ia III 10
go-as-you-pleas plan and at the
same time keep a large part of their
reserves in currency which has
"power for HARM" AS to the second
why not cut down the taxes until the
government has no enormous surplus tx
deposit in the banks and nothing in its
own vaults beyond the gold reserve ant
a reasonable working balance, which
ought to be in it's own vaults and nevel
in banks beyond the amount necessar.
f | for the convenience of disbursinG
officers. The banks can easily put VI
national bonds to secure all the public
money that ought at any time to be de
posted with them.
, As to the third it is simply ON
old wildcat asset currency friend with
out the least attempt to disguise.
Mr.. Fowler and his advisors may res
assured that the American people viii
, not have that, involving, as it dses, a.
{. ultimate monopoly by the nationa

TEN was the best ever devised, and to
let it alone but they themselves are
trying to change it to an "asset" sys-
TEN, which will be next door" to the
old wildcat system. Even if all they
have said of "cheap silver were true
which it is not, it would be infinitely
better than "asset" bank currency.

Some OF our republican exchanges are
cackling about our increasing exports.
None OF them, however, have explained
why this country should fear the pau
per made products of the old world
if our manufacturers export goods pay
the freight and ocean insurance, and
still underseH the ''paupers' right on
their own ground. Will some Of our
dearly beloved brethren please cease
cackling long enough to let ia little
light on this rather dark subject?
