Clean Paper Money.
N the Savannah News.


For several years we have been harping
on the subject of clean paper money and
urging Congress to provide some means
by which dirty bills might be retired and
destroyel and fresh, new bills substituted
for them. There is not one solitary reason
of satisfactory character, why the people
should be forced to content themselves
with dirty, greasy, PUPPY bills, disgusting
in smell, disagreeable to the touch and
dangerous to the health. MicroscopicaI
examination has shown that the dis
reputable old bills are the lodging places
and breeding places of millions of disease
germs, the list of diseases represented by
the germs including the most loathsome
ailments known to medical science The
people have accepted the nasty old bills
because they were money, and money"
even more than charity, covers a multitude
of evils. so the immaculate lady, who
would not for the world tolerate an inch of
soied linen soied glove, has stuffed
her reticule with these odorous old bills
probably handled dozens of times by filthy
fingers that she wouldn't touch under any
circumstances. But they were money"
and being such, their germ-laden condition
has been tolerated; with bad grace, posi-
bly,, but still tolerated. 1t is not to the
credit of the government that dirty paper
money has been forced on the people for
SO long time, unless perchance it desired
to give an object lesson in the meaning of
filthy lucre, and that is hardly probable
Now. however, after much urging, there is
pending in Congress a bill designed to RENE
dy the evil. 1t provides for the destruc-
ton of all paper money that may come into
the treasury or any of its branches, and the
issue of clean, freshly printed bills Thus
no old bills are to be reissued from the
treasury

Herbert was true child of an eager in

ae lived. An exceptionally wide acquaint-
ance with its leaders of philosophy poetry

nature to accept the ideals as matters of
course. He has not the hardy and spacious
nature that asks fundamental questions

he still employs in that building only the
material he finds at hand. Rarely does he
desire more. Small notifications readjust-
ments, the application of refinement and
elevation where coarseness had been before
these rather than revolutionary measures
are what he adds to the intellectual stock of
his age. He is no Wordsworth Keats or
Browning; he is related to his time rather
early Gray or Arnold, as one who
voices with exquisite art what those around
him already feel. But If the ideals of his
time shaped him, he in turn shaped them.
Through his responsive heart and dexterous
fingers they attained precision. beauty
and compelling power which bore them far
past the limits of that age.

born on u farm in Union county, Ohio, May
II, 1852, in a log cabin of the style of that
period in the west. His father Loriston
Monroe Fairbanks, was a native of Yer
mont, but before reaching his majority he
removed to Massachusetts and at Ware, in
that state, worked in a wooden mill, but
afterward emigrated to Union county, Ohio.
where he engaged in farming. He returned
after time to Ware and learned the Wag-
on-making trade. Again he went to Union
county and piled his trade for several years.
In Union county, when he had become self
supporting through his trade, he married
Mary Adelaide Smith, whose family was
among the early pioneers of Union county
The Fairbanks family was large, and
young Charles was put to work on the farm
at an early age. This laborious life laid
the foundation for hardy manhood. He
had a strong desire to secure an education,
and whenever released from the eXactng
work of the farm he studied diligently. Dur
ing the short sessions of the public schools
he attended them, and in the evenings he
read carefully every book he could borrow

OF THE
SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN

Charles Warren Fairbanks, Vice President
of the United States. typifies the successful
American in the career that has led him to
the second highest Office under the grea test
of republics.
He was born of parents who were them
selves typical of the American of the past
generation that made the nation great.
They were of the people, and were album
dainty endowed with those homely virtues
that laid solid foundation for future sue
cess of their son who was to be honored by
high office The boy who knew much of the
struggle of life began at the lowest round of
the ladder of life to climb to fame. BY turn
he was an industrious farmers boy. then a
Eardworking college student. a press re-
porter, a successful lawyer, a politician
whose judgment and honor won trust from
the people, an able senator, and then the
choice of his party and of his country for
the vice presidency.
There have been few idle moments in the
life of Vice President Fairbanks There has
been little time for vacations He was
trained in the everyday work of life He
was the earnest farmer boy, and then car
ried that earnest nature into his college life
and with him into every sphere of activity
he has entered.
The Vice President came of the family of
Fayerbancke, of the yeomanry of England.
For many generations the family were
farmers, and in their hard fight with nature
for their daily bread grew into sturdy love
of liberty. They were deeply religious and
became Puritans. They suffered persecu-
tons under the dominance of the Estab-
lished Church, and when the commons of
England were forced into a struggle with
the king in defense of the liberties of the
people the Fayerbanckes DID honorable serv-
ice under Cromwell.
Only d few years after the settlement of
Boston Jonathan Fayerbancke, with his
wife, four sons and two daughters, were
among the immigrants that fled from perse-
cution in England. They sought land in
which they might worship GOO after the
dictates of their own hearts Like the Pur-
itans of that day, Jonathan Fayerbancke
was man of strong prejudices and of iron

President Roosevelts political and public
career began almost Immediately after his
graduation from Harvard. Although he
took up the study of law his interest in
public matters took shape, so that he was
elected to the New York assembly in 1882
1888 and 1854. being the candidate of his
party for speaker of the house. His ac-

of good government caused him to be made

for the first time commented on the

weight, ''and | think he deserves much
credit for his showing"
Mitchell is said to have been a heavy
loser on White. Some place his losses
at s.. .090. This is not doubted in sport

faith in his protese. He had TWO bet

So as far as Whites plans are con-
earned at the present time he will return

intention to meet any more American

ing Britt that he discussed arrangements
with Mitchell on Thursday for a match
with Battling Nelson. He takes his de-

"a mans plans go wrong once in a

commenting ON his setback.
