h Mrs. Lillian Altman, who resides on
east Main street in one Of the McIn-
tosh residence, met with an unfortun-
ate accident Monday morning, which
will confine her to her home for sever
al weeks. She had adopted the some
what prevalent plan Of using gasoline
in the water while doing the family
washing. She was in the act of pour
Ing some of the treacherous liquid into
the wash boiler when an, explosion oc-
Cured, setting fire to her clothing and
to the house. Prompt action on the
part Of neighbors extinguished the
flames and saved Mrs. Altman from
serious and perhaps fatal injuries, but
not before her face and arms were
badly burned. Mrs. Altman is an in
dustrious woman, with two small
children dependent upon her for sup
port and the accident is especially de-
plorable on that account.

COYOTES ARE NUMEROUS.

sibley, May. 1s.-coyotes are getting
numerous in this, section Of the coup-
try. Roswell Gross killed one a few
miles southwest Of this place and
brought the scalp to town, hoping to
procure bounty on the same. He
was told there was no provision made
for the payment of a bounty on the
creature. It is claimed that the coy
otes do as much mischief in the coun-
try as wolves, and in view of the fact
that they are getting numerous it
seems some provision should be made
to pay bounty so that more effort
would be put forth to rid the country
from the pests. *

Iowa Falls, May 1s.-Governor Cum

of nine months in the Wright county
jail. Last fall, Elmer Buck and G. e.
Barney were engaged in the discharge
of their duties as brakemen. 1t was
raining very hard and they entered a
work car and took two rain coats to
protect them from the weather. The
men plead guilty to the charge against
them and were given nine months in
the county Jail, sentence that their
friends claim did not fit the crime,
and this movement had been started
in hopes of restoring the men to lib
erty.

times-that is to say, better times
now with worse times sure to fOllCT
Nothing but full measure Of Green
backism and Populism can prevent a
great carnival OF bankruptcy.
The old reformers know this, and
are working to enlighten the people.
Their children-25 to 40 year Old chill
dren-may think that their working
for the cause is whim Of eccen-
trlcity-a kind Of old mans dream.
But it is the children who are doing
the dreaming-or at least are asleep.
These old reformers know what they
are doing. They are needing the les
sons they learned in earlier life. They
are acting upon mature judgment and
are moved by love Of country and con-
Germ for the rising generation.
The editor OF the World is not very
old (having eight more presidential
elections to go through before he will
be as old as gentleman who has
just been elected to the U. S. senate),
but We have been in the reform cause
for twenty-eight years and knew many
OF these old Populists when they were
in the prime of life and we know that
there are no finer minds or truer
hearts than they possess.

IF INSURANCE DIRECTORS
WERE ALL LIKE LEE.

Life insurance trusts l consider
sacred. To hazard the property of
the dead, and to lose the scanty earn
ings OF fathers and husbands who
have toiled and saved that they may
leave something to their families, de-
prived Of their care and the support
of their labor, is to my mind the
worst of crimes. l could not under
take such a charge unless l could see
and feel that l could faithfully exc
cute it."
These are the words Of General
Robert E. Lee. They were written in
1868 in a letter declining a lucrative
position with a large insurance COM
pany. General Lee declined this po-
sition for many reasons, but chief
among them was that he did
not consider himself the proper
"person for the position of man
aging director" and that he did
not think he could find a profta-
BILE field for investment Of funds in
the "present condition of affairs. :"
What sad pity it is that there are
not more insurance directors in the
country today with consciences like
that of General Lee. Knowing that
his name would be regarded as q
guarantee of safety and that he might
not be able to meet the promises of
the company to it's policyholders, he
was unwilling that through him any
one should invest their savings under
false impressions. Such men in bust
ness would soon work a revolution
in industry in America were there
more of them. General Lee was not
honest because it was the best policy,
but because his conscience was as
large as the great heart that beat in
his bosom. We need more such men
at the heads of the great industrial
organizations of the nation.-Augus-
ia Herald.

Oklahoma proposes to follow South

THING EyT GREAA
AND PoPULIsM CAN PREVENT
GENERAL BANKRUPTCY.
(From The Missouri World.)


the general supply and in the per cap
ita Of money. The increase was al
most entirely in gold. The gold supply
was $1,598,116,107 on February 1, as
against 1857, ,O1S,385 on January 1.
The gain in gold was something over
eleven million dollars. The increase
in national bank currency was the
smallest for several months, the gain
being only about $4,000. The popu-
lation is estimated by the secretary
of the treasury as 85,484,000 on the
first Of this month and the per capita
OF money, outside Of the treasury, as
1896. This is the highest per capita
since the latter sixties. The various
kinds Of circulating medium issued
during the civil war brought the circu-
lation up to about $50 per capita. The
money circulated almost exclusively in
the union states up to the time the
war closed. Counting the people of
the union states only, the per capita
Of money was much more than $50.
The war currency consisted Of various
kinds Of government notes.-the green
backs, which bore no interest, the COM
pound interest notes, the 1880 treasury
notes, etc. All, however, were issued
in the form of money and were used
as such. After the war was over most
of the war currency was called in
and bonds issued in its stead. Part
of the remaining money found its way
into the seeding states. There was
a large immigration from the old world
and in addition there was the natural
increase in population. On the face
of the increasing numbers the con-
traction work went on until there was
only about $17 per capita Of money.
From '73 to '79 were the years Of the
smallest per capita Of money and the
hardest times the nation ever saw.
Corn went at Is cents bushel and
millions were on the verge of starva-
ton. Hundreds Of thousands Of able
bodied men tramped the country seek
ing employment. Land and town lots
had no market value and in vast
number Of cases the people could not,
Of at least did not, pay their taxes
and their property was sold. Many
titles are now traced back to tax
deed in the seventies. The mortgaged
man was subject to the will Of the
mortgage holder, who in countless in
stances from goodness OF heart and
other countless instances from fear Of
having to buy in the property, let
the interest pile up year after year,
but finally had to foreclose. Many who
were money lenders became "land
poor" by naving to buy in the prop
erty at foreclosure sale and them
selves became borrowers or at least
hard up for ready cash. Twenty per
cent was a common rate Of interest.
oh, those terrible times! They are
only too fresh in the memory Of many
of our readers. That awful work Of
destruction through currency contrac-
ton almost destroyed the energy Of
man. Year after year went on from
bad to worse and there seemed to be
no hope. At first, only few saw
the trouble. Gen. John A. Logan, then
In congress, declared in 1874, "It's
money drouth." But Wall street was
supreme In its influence and in 1875
congress decreed the destruction OF the
remaining greenbacks. The mints had
been clandestinely closed to silver In
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-02-14

l..
saw it dimly, but saw it. T bassed,
in February, 1873, what i'm wn as
the Bland silver law, villa \tarted
the mints to coming silveI1d Jat the
rate Of not less than two million
nor more than four million dol
lars worth of silver bars per month.
Congress, in May Of the same year,
also repealed the law which provided
for the destruction of the greenbacks.
The president (R. B. Hayes) vetoed
the two acts but they were passed
over his veto by two-thirds vote
in both houses, the senate at the time
being Republican and the house Dem
ocratic. We believe neither of these
acts would have been adopted had not
the new Greenback party been grow
ing SO fast.
There are men now forty years Of
age who were not cid enough in the
seventies to realize the terrible de-
struction wrought by the contraction
of the currency and doubtless some
Of them get vexed at their fathers
(now Of advanced years. because they
attach SO much importance to the
money question and are so uncompro-
misingly opposed to the old parties
because they (the old parties) per-
nit corporations to control the cur
rency, the very life-blood of the ma
tion. We want to tell these 25 to 40
year old children that their fathers
are right; that they formed their judg-
ment in middle life when the object
lesson Of bankruptcy and ruin was all
around them. The reflection of ma
turer years has only confirmed the
judgment formed in the prime Of life.
The money question is the greatest
question the American people were
ever called upon to settle. Contraction
OF the currency has wrought more
ruin, it has been truthfully said, than
famine, pestilence and war.
You children Of these old Greenback-
ers and Populists, you who were either
very young or not born when your
fathers were forced by the terrible
business depression existing in the
6ON0UL1OS " 4tSSLA6dCO IA0 OaU0O
thereof, are sleeping over volcano.
But you don't know it. The PROPOSE
tion made by the present head Of the
nation to retire the greenbacks you
hardly give second thought. But
your fathers know it would bring ruin
and would be surrender Of the grand
principle of government money issued
direct to the people. Your fathers
may be tottering with the physical in
firmities of old age, but you must re-
member the judgment ripens with
years. Faces, names and dates may
be forgotten, but principles, never.
There is some more money now
than when your fathers enlisted in
the battle against the money-power
and times are some better. Thanks,
in part, to the old Greenbackers who
forced the renewal Of the coinage Of
silver and saved 346 million dollars IF
greenbacks from destruction. The
credit for most Of the balance
of the increase of the currency
belongs to no party, no organization.
The increase in the production Of gold
has come, not by the desire or wish
of the powers that be, but in spite Of
them.
But what have we now in the way
