FOR CLEAN MONEY.

Much regret will be felt at the decision of
the House Committee on Banking and Currency
not to attempt the framing and passage of q
bill for retiring unclean and worn paper cur
rency. Session after session this matter has
been brought forward, only to be dropped again
without action No particular objection to such
legislation is manifested and there Is q general
sentiment in It's favor, but apparently no spe-
citic interest, political other, is to be served
or Slf1clent Importance TO cause a jealous press
ing of it TO enactment 1t is great pity
We may grant that no fundamental or para
mount principle of public policy is involved
The matter. is not comparable with that of
maintaining the integrity of the currency. for
example, or with various measures now before
Congress. But, minor though it may be- it does
involve the comfort, and sometimes even the
health, of the public. 1t is something which
appeals directly TO almost every man. woman
and child in the country. Unclean currency is
"a little thing" But so is a grain of sand in q
mans eye. Some small things are exceedingly
irritating and offensive. Moreover if it is so
small thing, it might so much the more easily
be corrected.
If the question Is destined to postponement
for another year, we must at least hope that the
agitation in favor of clean currency will be so
maintained as to make the demand for action
at the next session Of Congress irresistible and
meantime we may also hope that the Treasury
Department will do all that can be done under
existing laws in the exercise of its discretion
| for the abatement of the evil of physically
| tainted money.

THE PROTECTION OF NIAGARA

Though the concurrence OF the House in the
Senate's amendments TO the bill relating TO the
Niagara River Is not positively assured, it seems
probable that the measure will go to the Presi-
dent substantially In its present form. Since
It's introduction by Mr.. Burton last April it has
been appreciably modified II originally con-
tained a provision limiting the quantity of
water which might be taken from Lake Mich
tgan for the Chicago Drainage Canal to ten
thousand cubic feet a second-the amount now
withdrawn This has been eliminated, and
no restriction is put on the use of water for
sanitary purposes or for navigation In other
words nothing contained IN the bill will inter
fere with the transformation Of the drainage
canal into a ship canal The law is made ap-
plicable only TO power companies. These are
permitted 10 make drafts sufficient TO Geyelop
not more than 100000 horsepower. They are
not using nearly so much just now but accord

serious harm. If Chicago were permitted TO
take all the water it wanted, the effect on Mag
ara would be perceptible but such a canal AS
the city desires would cost good deal The Iii
nols Legislature will consider the matter a long
time and pretty carefully before voting the
states money tor its construction The power
companies have been treated fairly, but so far
