This was precisely in line with Presi-

Currency Reform.

Senator Beveridge does not believe
currency legislation in any important
form is possible at the coming session
of congress. 1t is understood the presi-
dent does not aggressively press the
subject In his message TO congress,
which he has already written but
which will not be delivered until De-
cember. He does. however mention
il.
no comprehensive plan OF cur
rcncy reform Is possible at the next
session of congress-" said Senator
Beveridge. I'm the first place, there is
not time for adequate discussion and
consideration. and in the next place.
there Is no popular demand for such
legislation.
Reform of our currency laws must
come ultimately, but when they do
come there must be careful and thor

be interested in what is being done"

America has so much undeveloped
land that natural and unmolested
parks can be found all through the
country. But in time this may be a
thickly populated country, and then
our posterity will feel the wisdom OF
their fathers in setting aside forever
extensive preserves in the interests
of patriotic memory, of beauty and of
recreation. Two such preserves Of re-
cent establishment are the Plat Ma
tional park in Oklahoma and the Mac
donough National park in Lake Cham
plain, on the Isle st. Michael. In the
Lake Champalin park lie buried the
Americans and British who fell in the
battle of September II, 1914.
