MR.. FOWLER'S
| CURRENCY BILL
It's Consideration Finally Be
gins IN the House Of
Representatives
CREDIT CURRENCY NECESSARY

Representative Fowler of this Con
gressional district, who is Chairman Of
the COMMITTEES on Banking and Cur
rency, has been making hard fight
during the entire session for consider
alton Of his Asset Currency bill, a
measure which has attracted the earn
est consideration of the skilled financiers
Of this country, and in fact of the
whole financial world. On Friday the
session Of the House was devoted to a
debate on the proposition.
Mr.. Fowler said the subject Of the
bill was credit currency. And by Gre
dit currency the committee meant a
currency for which there was always
an adequate reserve of the money of the
country in which the currency was to
be redeemed. and it stood for no other
kind. Such a currency, he said, was
in use in every country of recognized
financial standing, save Great Britain
and the United States. In the former,
however, the Bank act was suspended
whenever a financial stringency &C.
CURED, and in the United States the
principle of credit currency had been
recognized by the issue of Clearing
House certificates.
Continuing, Mr.. Fowler pointed out
the necessity for a credit currency to
meet the constantly recurring periods
of money stringency, growing out OF the
marketing of crops and the handling of
the manufactures of the country The
increase of per capita average of money
in circulation, he said, was not suffic.
lent to solve the problem, for it was
barely sufficient to meet the require
ments of bank reserves. Under the
operation of his bill, he said there
would be a maximum Increase of bank
notes of $40, 100000.
Mr. Thayer (Dem., Mass. advocated
the views presented by the minority OF
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency He realized that something
should be done to add to the volume of
currency, but could not approve the
Fowler bill While 1t provided safety
for the proposed issue. it lacked the
necessary elasticity.
While Mr.. Thayer was setting forth
the advantages of the Padgett bill,
which the minority of the committee
offered as a substitute, he was inter-
rupted by Mr.. Cochran (Dem., Mo. J
himself the author of currency bill,
who said that the Padgett bill could
not get the votes of ten Democrats on
the floor. He admitted that his own
proposition was not likely to receive
any more favorable consideration at
the hands of his political associates.
Il think it is to be deplored," he
said, THAT some plan cannot be de-
vised that will receive unanimous
Democratic support, but do not think
any of these national bank bills will
receive their votes"
The discussion was further continued
by Messrs. Lowering of Massachusetts
and Prince of Illinois (Reps.) and Lewis
(Dem.. Ga.) members of the committee
reporting the bill Without action the
committee arose.

"Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer"

The secret is out and Morristown can
go on living just as if the riddle had
never been asked.
NJ it can't, either, Morristown is not
going to be what il was before. Its
houses are going to be brighter; its PEG.
pie little more prosperous-they are
going to have some of their money left
to buy other things with.
The answer to the riddle is this: you
can paint building with fewer gallons
of Devoe Lead aud Zinc paint than with
mixed pants, and it will wear several
times as long as building painted with
lead and oil mixed by hand. What will
people do with the rest of their money
Geo. E. Voorhees, and Thatcher &
Pantaenius sell it.

THE FRIDAY
EVENING CLUB
Congressman Champ Clark,
Famed as a Lecturer En-
tertained Members
WASEL0QUENT AND HUMOROUS

Every seat in Lyceum Hall was occu.
pied last Friday night, when Hon. Champ
CLARK, Congressman from Missouri de
livered an address upon Picturesque
Pobhc Men" before the Friday Evening
Club. The speaker was listened to with
intent interest, and at no time was there
evidence Of any unrest in the audience
His speech was witty and humorous. and
delivered in dramatic style. He depicted
enthusiastically the bright and pathetic
sides of public life at the capitol and
quoted the pithy sentencesan witticisms
of his colleagues in the House and of
political acquaintance throughout the
land.
Having the typical southern accent
and the long stride, he was always i'm
pressive, and at times eloquent.
He devoted his remarks mainly to the
late Thomas B. Reed, whom he declared
was giant in intellect and whose
sarcasm was equal and in some respects
more cutting than that of the late john
j. Ingalls,. Speaker Reed, he said, was
disappointed man, for like James G..
Blaine, he aspired to the presidency but
died with his fairest hope crushed
He gays many instances of Mr.. Reeds
ready wit, and said the Speaker would
often joke about his appearance.
Zone day, said Mr.. Clark. ga young
newspaper reporter called at one of the
large cafes in Washington In search OF
Mr. Reed He was told that the gentle
man was seated at one of the tables, and
to go in and interview him. The re.
porter searched about for awhile and
then came out and told the manager he
could not find Mr.. Reed. Hes there
for | saw him, just you wait here and
I'll call him out.
Speaker Reed was brought out and the
reporter was amazed. Il took you fol-
Grover Cleveland" he said.
"Great Heavens, young man." said
Reed, don't tell Grover that for he il
vain enough over his looks now"
Congressman Clark said that of all his
associates in the House of Representative
he had the highest regard for Congress
man Culverson. Of Texas, because Cul.
verson had record of saving the neckt
of 2l5 men charged with murder. THAI
one fact he said was one of the greatest
tributes man could possibly have tc
enter into the next world. He mentioned
among other distinguished Congressmer
Hon. Joseph Bayley and General Joseph
Wheeler the fighting Congressman.
He closed his remarks by saying tha
the Spanish war had done more to hea
the wounds of the civil war than any
other one thing. It brought together tn,
boys of the blue and the boys of tn,
gray. and together they fought side b,
side for one common cause and with thu
interest of each at heart. 1t also demon
strated to Europe that although we MAJ
be divided on political questions, yet W,
stand as one in the defense of ou
country.

great mass of people desire. "You are
more apt to find five different opinions
among FIVE Germans or Frenchmen than
from i've Americans. The Americans
are affected by the newspaper which
they read in the morning, or they are
afraid of treading upon someone's toes. :"
President Wilson said that individual
ity was what men should strive for. 1t
might be small at first but all the big
ger when you get it, and for that reason
this country had bred few giants. The
greatest example of this, he said, was
Theodore Roosevelt. For at the con-
vention which named him Vice. Presi.
dent it was known among all the poll
ticians that he was not to be pushed
aside, and politically buried, for he
would be at every party convention, in
every party caucus, and heard upon
every party measure, 30 the only way to
quiet him was to give him the office.
'.Such a man." said he, could not
afford to be loose about the country ="
This expression caused great deal of
laughter, and continued applause.
What is wanted in the country DIR.
Wilson thought, was more Roosevelts.
Men who had the courage of their con-
victions and who were not to be put
down and laid aside for any unjust
reason.
He concluded his speech by saying
that it was not the men of great intellect
that exercised the greatest power over a
nation but men whose lives were above
reproach; who had lived right and
yielded not to temptation.

officers were elected for the ensuing
year: Jonathan w. Roberts, of Morris

DuelinE I'm Switzerland.

The duel, though prohibited by law,
still EXISTS in Switze ria nd, but the
practice is confined to the students in
the Swiss German universities. Even
these fre-eaters are beginning to real
ize the absurdity of the practice, for
a meeting was held at Zurich lately
at which student delegates from all
parts were present. to discuss the duel
and. courts of honor. a proposition by
the president to abolish the duel alto
gether was rejected by a large major
ity. The consequence was that large
number of due}s which were previous
ly arranged and whose principles were
awaiting the result of the vote took
place at Bremgurten, near Rerne.
Many students received severe rapier
cuts, chiefly in the face, but nobody
was seriously wounded. The police,
though they know the practice exists,
and are often aware Of the "affair,"
seldom interfere. for they look upon
the duel, as practiced by the students,
as sporting and harmless matter.
It is certain tina It nobody has ever been
seriously hurt in these affairs of hon
or.-London Times.
