A rnounIEsoME pRonLns..

The Norfolk Landmask thinks it would be a shame if theNpresent ses- sion of Congress should fail to take steps to remedy the faults of our curl rency system. Well, what can you ex- pect? The currency system, like the tariff, is loaded. and there is an inn portant election just ahead. It might teepardise party success to seriously set to work to change our money sys- tenn and laws, even if the party in power could agree on what is right and proper to be done in tho matter.
 The truth of the matter Is that a system of currency for country so great and so diversified in every re- spect as ours is a problem that may well baffIe the wisest heads in Con- gress or out. It is question about which the old saying of .'many men with many minds applies with great force. It is a question over which statesmen of all countries and all ages have wrangled and puzzled, and If there was ever a satisfactory solution of 1t the knowledge has been lost. Only a dozen years ago, as we all re- member, the country was in e perfect cyclone of turmoil and unrest on the money question, but that was merely an acute attack of conditions that have existed in soms shape or other from "a time when the memory of man rustneth not to the contrary" 4 | A man, be he ever so well informed who sets out to formulate a currency system to be enacted into law for the entire country must bear in mind that when he has completed the task to his own complete satisfaction. fl such a thing can be humanly possible if must bear the scrutiny and meet the approval of others who are per haps equally sure that they can build a satisfactory financial structure. Thus 1 if is that, leaving out all questions oi party or politics. the job of perfect ing A satisfactory currency plan is one of almost or quite overpowering per nIexity. Can Congress solve it if il l triaa9

IN A DILEMMA.

xhe Albany (Ga.) Herald intimates that. if Taft has talked with his friends and properly informed himself since his return from his foreign trip he is probably doing some strenuous think ing about now in the effort to decide whether he must retire from the Cabi- net or rehounce his claims on the Pres idential nopination.
 It is a; delicate position, for fact, for as 1t now stands it looks as though he is trying to run with two rather antagonistic influences. If he remains in the cabinet/he will naturally be look ed on as partly responsible for the acts and policies of the present administration. He will be part, and an important part, of the government, and Af the acts of the administration are criticised or condemned he must bear his due share of the burden.
 It is not yet fully apparent whether the President intends to take an ac- tive part for or against any candidate for the nomination, though it would be difficult fg him to refrain from doing so. He has such natural and cultivated faculty for wanting to boss things that it will be dificnlt for him to remain neutral in such an impor- tant matter as the selection of a suc- cessor.
 Secretary Taft has been generally regarded as the administration Sandi- date. and if he retains his place in the cabinet and continues in the Pres identiaI race he will be at least tacitly regarded as the Roosevelt candidate. whether so announced openly or not. It is becoming more apparent every day that no aspirant for the nomina- ton will be strengthened by Roose- velt's dictatorial endorsement. The best and strongest men of his party are beginning to openly resent the habit and spirit of bossism displayed by him in many ways, and they are not at all likely to let him dictate in the selection of a candidate.
 And so it is that Taft finds himself in a delicate predicament. He has his heart set on the succession and to now announce his retirement from the con. test would seem cowardly and be tht death of his highest ambition. On the other hand. to remain in the cabinet would be to saddle himself with par of the administrators faults and p'ac. himself in the position of Roosevelt chosen heir-apparent. It Is not { pleasant dilemma for a big man t' find himself in and his course will b.
 watched with interest to see if he cal
 get out of 1t.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER se, 1907.

Referring to the Keller bili to re- duce Southern representation in Con- gress and the electoral collge The Providence (R. I.) Tribune indulges in fine bit of satire, as follows:
 But like good many reformers, General Keller does not go far enough. or, at leasI. ss far as he might. What is wanted is law that VIII make ,u.- sue pufsory and insure the election of tnelr candidates, pfefefably members or their own race, where they are n the me majority. such pfocedures nrshern wouiu sentie nent 1t might result In another war and be followed eventually py the evacuation of the South by the whites. Congress Is a place in which full ad- vantage should Le taken of all oppor- tunities-
 wouldn't 1t be equal to a picnic to see negro Congressmen all over the national House and watch the efforts of the Republican statesmen to get as far from them as possible? To see a genuine Southern 'nigger." in all the uncouth redolence of the fu1lbred African take his seat and snugglS up to one of the well-dressed and care- fully groomed Northern Republicans would be worth a trip to Washington. Let Keller and his gang go ahead; en- franchise all the blacks and disfran- chise all the whites-and then his brother Reps would lynch him.

 In European cities they eschew wood. It is not. therefore imperative to have so many high-class details or fireproohng for the buildings, be- ca use the architects have always known enough to use at least incom bustible materials. We have used so much conbustible material that now tf we do want a building that Is areproof, we have to make 1t superlatively so. n Boston, sl,5O0,Ooo is a very small yearly loss; in tue average European city of that size $150.00O would be more than a usual yearly loss.

 As nearly all these mininw horrors could be prevented, the fact that they are permitted is nothing short of 3 crime against humanity The most dis- graceful fact is that they are more nu- merous in the United States than Tn any other civilized country, and that in the face of the advance of scientific creasing here while being diminished in other lands Regulations in the sew eral States are defective, but worse than this, even such regulations as have been formulated are not enforce ed.

Because of thess gatherings and the smoky atmosphere of the many country stores. the postofAee domiciied therein Is not always the most attrac- tive place for women and children to go for their, letters.

But it is clean and fit for women to enter.

The ofice of rural post master is one which can be nllsd most aecsptably by women. ana usually without takins them from their homo duties. rhese appointments ought not to be restricted to men, The more wo- men employed in them the better for the public and for the government,

HE IS CORRECT,

Senator Clay, of Georgia, opposes the discharge of women postmasters for the purpose of giving the places to men. "The village postofhce," remarks The Baltimore Sun, "is coveted by storekeepers, who wish to have it in the country store to attract customers. n also has it's political importance, and the postofice is often the gather ing place of the local politicians, where they exchange views anda agree upon men and neIghborhood affairs and del'
