ELSEWHERE on this page we re-
print an editorial from the Topeka
Daily Capital. Kansas leading
daily paper. It's careful reading
will show that even a great
republican daily can see the
danger of giving banks any more
power than they now have over
the currency. In this connection
it appears to us perfectly practical
for the adoption of the idea sug-
gested by an eminent Chicago
authority, and establishing gov
ernment bank as the reserve bank
for western Nationals. The money
sent east then might be trusted to
get back into the channels OF
trade when it was needed. AT
least we would not be at the
mercy of gang of the repudia-
tionists like the Wall Stree,
bankers.

THERE will be another howl
from the financiers over the Santa
Fe railroad fine. OF course, when
a miserable burglur or pickPocket
is sent to the penitentiary it is
easy to see why the sufferings of
his wife and children should not
be allowed to interfere with the
course of justice and the neces-
sary protection to property. But
when offending railroad managers
are found guilty of gross viola
tions of law, why should the "in-
nocent" stockholders, and the
even more innocent" general
business interests be made to
suffer? If the Standard Oil fine
caused a loss of confidence in
American securities by European
investors, is it not perfectly OBJ
vious conclusion that Standard
Oil and other corporations should
be LETT free to use their own dis
cretion as to whether they will.

NEW YORK'S APPEAL FOR ASSET
CURRENCY.

Among interviews printed by
the New York World with New
York bankers is one with Presi
dent c. w. Bogart, of the Twenty
Third Ward bank, who, in agree
ment with the majority of New
York bankers, says of "asset cur
rency::"
AS to plans of currency reform,
the Fowler plan, with modifica-
tions. would do. That plan was
for the government to issue emer-
gency. currency, taking as collat-
eral all the best assets, if need be.
of the banks. The objection to
that scheme was that it gave the
government all gilt-edge assets
and left the poorer ones tor the
depositors. To remedy that. it
might be provided that the gov
ernment take, as collateral for the
emergency currency, all the ma
tional, State and city bonds held
by the banks.
Yet all these New York bankers
repeat that what the city needs is
confidence on the part of New
York depositors. They seem to
have confidence in the good banks
and mighty little in the unsound
and why not1 How their conf,
dence is to be restored by depriv.

the natural way to strengthen the
confidence OF New York depos
itors. One of the ineradicabls
ideas of such bankers seems to bs
that the depositors are not en-
titled to their money unless it i.

 The order issued by Judge Thomas G. Jones of the Federal court and is to be made by the state within days This will likely bring the contest between the state and federal courts to head

Montgomery, August Especial )--rhe strike of the operators has had pad effect on all lines of business, and to say that the general public will be glad when it is over is putting 1t very mild. The greatest inconvenience is caused by the failure of the press wires. The papers have been badly crippled, and the news service has been cut off from the patrons of the papers without. many think. the management having had time to consider the matter at all.
 The local telegraph offices are working fairly well today. Business was expedited last night and today, and it looks now As if there would be chance to get busl- ness through pretty promptly by even ing. Manager Fonville of the Western Union had an extra operator on this morning, but WIS sending him along to Atlanta, being able with his force here to hold down the business. The business from here to the north and east is sent via Atlanta making big demands on that office.

INVESTIGATION OF
 OFFICERS AFFAIRS
TESTIMONY INDICATES THAT SEVERAL ARMY MEN AT MA NILA BOUGHT TOO COSTLY FURNITURE.

Washington. August H.-rhe war de- partment has learned that Brigader Gen eral Ernest A. Darlington, who was spec ially charged by Secretary Taft to mase regularities in the quartermaster's de- pertinent In the Philippines arrived In Manila July ,, and entered upon hls work the following day. The original in- vestigation was based on the allegation that a number of army officers stationed in the Philippines had caused lot of ex- pensive furniture to be manufactured for souvenirs to be sent to their friends in the setates for which no proper return was made to the government.
 General Leonard Wood, upon discovering the condition of affairs, made a report on the subject to the war department which was the basis of several special inquiries. Much conflicting testimony as to whether or not any of the officers had their integrity or whether they had been simply careless. The names of some off cers of very high rang were brought into the case to their great indignation, as they declared that they had settled in full at the highest market price for the furniture. Upon the report of General Darlington will depend the course to be adopted by the department in it's treat ment of certain officers who are alleged to have mlsused their privileges.
