philadelphia Ledger

Chicago has been called a wicked
city, a city of foreigners, a city of
beer, city of saloons. Under a To-
cal option law applying to small di-
visions, large part of Chicago, about
$50 precincts, has voted dry" and
the saloons must go. The prohibition
wave which has swept over the
South, from Missouri around to Della
ware, is being met by a wave ex-
tending down from New England.
The national prohibition leaders are
calling for a movement to force a
resolution upon each of the two great
parties, and falling success, throw
increased energy into the Prohibition
party.
Prohibitions spread is one of the
remarkable phenomena of the day.
The movement has gained vastly in
strength by changing it's appeal from
the moral and domestic sentiment to
the economic side of drinking. Rather
it is that the economic side has been
added, for there is no lessening of the
argument for home and morality. In
the South prohibition rests on the
worthlessness and disorder of negro
saloon habitues.
In Chicago, no doubt, half the re-
cent increase of prohibition territory
was due to the conclusion of business
managers that they cannot afford to
have drinking men in their employ.
Most of the big railroads and all of
the insurance companies discriminate
in favor of the nondrinker. The
cause of OrOhihitiOn iS financed &c il
never was before. Men of large means
contribute, though they do not in
theory agree with the extreme view
of the advocates. Their reasoning is
that, while they do not like sump-
tuary legislation, it is better than
drunkenness.

Not for "Asset Currency"

Those who have talked with the
President in the past few days find
that he is not likely to recommend
what has been known as asset cur
rency'-the plan that has been in
dorsed by the American Bankers
Association. 1t provides for the is-
suance by national banks of additional
notes to the extent of perhaps so
per cent, of the circulation already
taken out on bonds, this circulation
to be protected by a reserve and a
guaranty fund. The same plan was
advocated by Comptroller Didely in
his report last year and by Secretary
Shaw, with the addition of a tax
that would make the circulation only
profitable in time of emergency.
The President, it is understood, does
not favor this plan, but has given
a great deal of thought to a new
idea which will doubtless be present
ed to Congress in some form or other,
but whether as an Administration
plan has not yet been determined.

DiStilling From Wood.

Govt. Forest Service Bulletin.)
Thre are two distinct processes for
obtaining valuable products from

tIllation and steam distillation. In

turpentine, leaving residue of char
coal. The decomposition of the
wood in this process is exceedingly
complicated and is not yet fully un-
derstood.
In steam distillation, which is much
simpler, the wood is Clipped and
placed in closed receptacle into
which steam is blown from a boiler.
and the volatile compounds which are
not chemically united with the rest
are vaporized and carried out of the
retort with the steam. Though in
practice the wood is often so much
overheated that the wood fibre is
slightly decomposed, and though it is
quite possible to carry the overhead
ing SO far that the process becomes
one OF destructive distillation, it is
nevertheless true that steam distil-
lation,' as the term is technically
used, signifies the separation of
volatile products from wood with. at
most, but little decomposition Of the
wood fibre.
With both these processes the va
ported compounds after leaving the
retort pass through water-cooled
tubes, where they are condensed into
the crude liquors which after REIN
ing yield marketable products.
Different woods give different mar
ketable products after distillation.
Thus, the hardwoods-b birch.
and maple-yield acetate of lime.
wood alcohol and charcoal and long
leaf pine yields turpentine, tar pine
oils, and charcoal This difference in
the products is due to the fact that
pine woods are resinous, while hard
woods are nonresinous. From the
point of view of products, therefore,
1t IS necessary to distinguish between
the kinds of wood used as we'll as
between the distillation processes.

CHINA WILL BE
A GREAT NATION
Legation Secretary Speaks
of Significant Reforms.

BALTIMORE, MD, Nov. 22.-(Spe-
ciaD-That China in few years will
rank among the foremost countries of
the world and that the many reforms
and improvements now going on
throughout the empire are almost
perfected, Mr. E. T. Williams, secre-
tary of the American Legation at Pc
king, China, is firmly convinced.
Mr.. Williams is on visit to rela-
tives in this city
He discussed the possibilities OF
an awakening as follows:
"There are" he said three reforms
that are of tremendous significance.
First, the reorganization of the army;
second, the requirement of a new ma
Wy, and third, the reorganization OF
the Government, which in itself is
vastly important.
Everywhere the interest in educa-
ton is keen. Already the Chinese
have 10000 students in Japan, pre-
pairing to teach when they return
home. The women, too, are seeking
education AS yet only those girls
who have money can buy an educa-
ton. However, the Dowager EN-
press and many rich and charitable
women of China are endoWing funds
for the founding of schools and col
leges for the Chinese girl who is toe
poor to buy an education.
"The young mems whole desire is
not to become officials at the court, as
it was in the older days They now
study for all branches of the COM
mercial life.
Though small of stature and weak
physically, the Dowager Empress
who is 73 years old, has strong char
acteristics. The left side of her face
is much more drawn than the other
because of the palsy with which she
was stricken several years ago. She
takes great interest in the many re-
forms that are being instituted, and
continually is sending her subjects to
all parts of the world to gain knowl-
edge. The footbinding torture is now
extent, and at the Imperial court no
Small-footed woman is allowed.
THE cities along the riverways and
the coast are progressing much faster
than those inland, because of their
easy access. Apart from the queer
flags and bunting and the quaint Gus
toms, the coast-wise cities look Just
like an American city"
Mr., Williams has been connected
with the legation in Pekin for 20
years, during which time he has tray
eled over most of China, studying con
ditions and the good the reforms are
doing,

Outline of Scheme

This scheme is to require interest
to be paid upon Government deposits
by the banks holding them, the rate
to be two per cent. No bonds are
to be required as security for these
deposits, but they will be protected
by guaranty fund which is to be
a very small tax, it having been
demonstrated in the banking record
of the Government that less than
one per cent. of a tax would meet any
any failure that might occur.
Still another feature of this plan
is to pay Government obligations in
the localities where these banks de-
positories are by checks on the Gov
ernment's amounts in the banks. This
would save all the red tape of Treas
ury warrants to be paid at Subtreas-
uries and would get Government mon
ey into circulation at once in the
cities and towns where the obligation
existed.

CURRENCY REFORM
AND PRES. MESSAGE
Not Believed TO Favor Asset
Currency.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. "a
(SpeciaD President Roosevelt will
send a special message to Congress
asking for immediate currency legis-
lation. This he had in mind when
he stated in his letter to Secretary
Cortelyou, that he expected Congress
to act speedily on the question.
The general financial situation will
be discussed at length in his regular
message, but he will supplement this
with another calling the attention of
Congress to the necessity of imme-
date action and urging such action in
view of the manifest inadequacy of
the present system to meet an emer-
gency.
The President has not decided on
any particular scheme of currency re-
form, but has some very clear ideas
of what he wants. He will leave it
to the committees of Congress to re-
port the measure that most nearly
meets his views, but it is probable that
a bill will be introduced the first day
of the session that will embody his
ideas and which is likely to be known
as an Administration measure.
