1t means that there will be no more

will put on the motor car and give in

traffic and at the same time clearing
the track for thru passenger trains
with few stops. Hourly interurban
service could thus be established in

SHIN PLASTER MONEY.
Dubuque Telegraph.)
Old residents of Dubuque recall in
connection with the issue of clearing
house certificates elsewhere, the scril
of the Central Island company, and the
Harbor company, issued in 1S5S-59
This scrip, about the only thing which.
then served for money, was issued or.
the security of land. In those days.
Dubuque was booming frontier towr.
and land values scared many times
higher than they are today or are.
likely to be for many years to come.
With the collapse of prosperity, the
pyramided land values also collapsed
and the structure crumbled The Gen.
trail Island company was unable to re-
deem it's scrip, when the day of reck :
oning came, and the holders of it lost,
according to the recollection of one
old resident, about SIS cents on the dol
lar The men in the Harbor company
were among the city's richest citizens,
and while the land which secured the
scrip issue deprecated far below the
face of the scrip, these men made good
the depreciation out of their private
fortunes Ever since that experience
Dubuque has been one Of the most
conservative cities from the financial
standpoint, in the entire nation. 1t
explains why land values here are very
much less than in other Iowa cities
having one-third less population.

ShaWs emergency currency would
do it by giving the banks something to
use without frightening the public
with clearing house certificates while
they gave their borrowers time in
which to collect accounts and liquidate
gradually. A high rate of interest at
the banks would soon stop speculation
and regulate the speed of commerce
without ditching the train. The en-
Urgency note would look just like the
everyday note and there would be
nothing about it to brighten the wild
oWs and the women and the retired
capitalists into withdrawing their
bank deposits in currency. The coun-

OBTAINING CUMM1Ns.

Strangely enough the higher tie
standard of conduct a man sets for
himself the sharper is the criticism
Honest or dishonest which comes

from it. And probably as a man
grows in grace and right living the
greater is his accountability if he

haps, that there is SO much rabid
criticism of Governor Cummins over

SHAW ON THE srRINGENCY.

Former secretary Of the treasury
Leslie M. Shaw, spoke to Nationa
Business Mems League in Chicags
Saturday night giving his views of the
present "stringency," its causes and Its
reform. Upon matters Of finance MT
Shaw is entitled to a hearing, how
ever much We distrust his polltlca
sympathies when choice is to DC
made between the public and the spe-
cial interest He says that people ev-
erywhere have have been buying some-
thing on time; land. town lots, stocks
or endorsements to their factories
which has created more debts to be
Maid than the loanable funds Of the
country could take care of. Then he
contends that the public distrust OF
big business men engendered by "ex-
posure'' articles in the magazines,
chautauqua lectures, official "investi-
cations and threats of criminal pros
ecutions Of unnamed persons on un-
defined and indefinite charges" have
all conspired to shake public conf
dence to the point of causing people to
hoard their savings.
However, the secretary says that the
trouble can only be temporary. He
asserts that the absence of any serious
bank or business failure has shown
the country to be on a safe and secure
business foundation. In a few months,
he predicts, that the currency strin-
gency will relieve itself and allow the
situation to improve, altho he thinks
that a slight setback to business will
be felt turnout the year.
AS to reforms he declares the CEN
trail bank of issue impracticable be-
cause the people of the country are OPP
posed to it. Likewise he turns down
pure asset currency because it goes
with the Canadian system of branch
banks which the people of this coun-
try do not want He is in favor of a
system of emergency currency which
will permit banks to issue more bank
notes just like those already in circu-
lation but without depositing bonds. In
order to get it back when the emer-
gency had ceased he would, of course,
have to tax it altho he does not say
so and this is just what has been
proposed by special committee of the
National Bankers association under
the name of asset currency. 1t will
have to be enacted into law before we
will ever get relief from needless pan
les.
Secretary Shaw can sneer at the
chautauqua lecturers and chide the
president, but the fact remains that
big business was robbing the public
in too many places. The magazine ex-
posture, which exposes facts and the

LAYING A POOR FOUNDATION.
Cedar Rapids Gazette)

| There are young men - minors IN
| this city who spend their time around
pool rooms and cigar stores - legiti-
mate places of business-who ought to
be either in school of at work. The
boy who spends his time as some of
the boys of Cedar Rapids are spend
ing theirs is laying the foundation for
failure in life. He is acquiring habits
that will stick to him thru life-habits
Of dissipation, of lack of energy of
! idleness, and possibly of crime. The
successful business men of Cedar
Rapids, the successful merchants in
any line, the successful men in any
walk in life, high or humble, are not
the ones who as boys spent their time
playing pool, or cards, or smoking
cigarets.
The blame, however, for some Of the
conditions which exist in Cedar Rap
ids and in every other city. big or
little, does not rest on the boys alone
Parents must bear a large part of the
blame. Those who ought to enforce
the laws must bear some of the blame,
and the keepers of some of the places
must also share in the responsibility.
Many Of the proprietors do make an
earnest, honest effort to obey the law.
IT is often impossible to tell when
young man is a minor: when boy Of
Is or 10 swears he is 81 the proprietor
of pool room does not know whether
the boy is lying or not. But there are
instances where the proprietor evil

Gently was shocked to see two mere
boys playing pool and to hear them in
dulging in profanity of the kind one
would expect to hear from the dock
laborer or river rat.''
These things ought not to be. The
boys who have been frequenting some
places in Cedar Rapids should stay out
of their own accord, or be kept out. IT
the minors will not refrain from doing
these things, of their own accord, then
the parents the officers Of the law and
the proprietors of the various places
can and ought to cooperate. The
welfare of the youth themselves de-
mands such cooperation.
