Noted Men of the Hour.
BY MRS. META A. MARTIN.

BY META A. MARTIN.
This paper will of necessity, II for no otner resoh'
be extremely brief And II had abundance OF time
and OF inclination the fact that each member
of the club is to give a five minute talk on the same
subject would make me feel that should limit my
part OF the program to the least time possible
In considering noted men one feels at a loss to know
which of the great army s most worthy OF mention,
for there really many, and in SO many walks OF
life.
In little article of Thos. W. Lawson's l read not
long ago. makes this assertion and itappeals to me
as very nearly correct-he says that this is distinctly
an age of individuasm-that every man is King with
Kings prerogative OF whiting out the YARD SUCK
by which his own greatness is to be measured
The much talked of men of the hour who most ap-
peal to me are those who really doing something
something that will count for the masses OF forlorn
bu-dened, hopeless humanity-the men who are try
ing to make bad conditions, better-who are weary
and disgusted with the political ntr1gues thab nave
well nigh ruined our nation.
One of the to whom most honor is due In THIS
respect is Judge Lands of the United States district
court of northern Illinois. Here is IA man who COM
mands the highest respect of lover OF Justice
man or woman-who is not afraid to grip his friend
by the hand, and hold on too, while he hrmly says
NO can't do that, Pm surprised that you should
ask it of me- And the friend goes away with his re-
quest refused but still feeling only the highest regard
for the Judge To another he says, 81 am sending you
to the pententary because you have betrayed your
trust, but when you get out come to me- ana VIII
find you a job. viii help you to start again
Why did he impose the fine of S3O,OOO,OOO upon the
Standard Oil Co.? Not because he was specially op-
posed to corporations for he had been employed as
corporation lawyer for years-but because he is do
ing his duty as iudge-is simply passing sentence
where it belongs He is what he claims to be-a Judge
and there pile of money in existence, large
enough to purchase his honor. He is small and nsig-
nifcant OF stature but mighty of intellect.
Then another man to whom all eyes in the East are
now being turned, is Chas. +. Hughes, Governor of
New York-a devoid of personal magnetism, but
with such sterling qualities of character that the old
time politicians and ward-heeers have had to sit
down-and away back too. Some one asks, what Is
the secret OF Gov. Hughes success?" The answer Is
"Capitalizing legitimate complaints-in other words

these greedy gentlemen, who
rallied against the fifty cent dol
lar" of constitutional silver
money, based a credit currency
of ten to one.
Crying fercely tor Sound
money" they struck down the
financial system of a hundred
years.
Furiously denouncing the free
silver cranks," they changed the
constitution of the fathers, with
out asking the consent of the
states. and by treasury ruling,
followed up by act of congress,
they illegally created gold re-
serve, a gold standard, and a
credit currency, when the su-
preme law of the land--as inter
preted by the highest court-had
established the system of gold,
silver and treasury notes.
The gold and silver were to be
coined on equal terms, and the
treasury notes were to be issued
as needed.
Thus, the elasticity feature was
introduced into the original con
stitutional system of our fathers.
The precious metals were to be
coined as they were dug from the
mines and offered at the mints.
Treasury notes were to be is
sued in emergencies.
This treasury note feature gave
to the original system all the elias
ticity that it was safe to give.
Thus, Mr.. Jefferson issued
treasury notes at the period oi
the Louisiana purchase.
Mr.. Madison issued treasury
notes during the war of 1912.
President Jackson issued them
after his overthrow of the national
bank.
Mr.. Lincoln issued them dur
ing the civil war.
But the national bankers dom.
mate the government. and these
modest gentlemen have always
bitterly opposed the treasury
notes.
Why1
Because they want their own
notes to furnish the elasticity
feature of the currency system.
Again, why?
Because they want the com.
pound interest on these notes of
heirs. Could anything be more

Out of sordid and grasping
selishness. therefore, the national
banks set in TO destroy the treas
