AlDRlcH SAYS SENATE WILL
TAKE ITS TIME ON F'NAN.
clAL LEGISLATION.
he SEES NO NEED FOR HASTE
SAYS MONETARY STRESS Is Al.
MOST OVER AND CONGRESS
NEED NOT HURRY.

Washington, Dec. 3. - There is .
hitch in the administration program
for prompt action to secure financial
legislation. Speaker Cannon adheres
to his plan for the immediate appoint
ment of the committee on banking
and currency, but the response which
was expected to be forthcoming from
the Republican leaders in the senate
with the bill to correct detects in the
financial policy Of the nation promises
not to be forthcoming. Advises to
that effect came from Senator Aid.
rich, chairman of the finance commit.
tee of the senate.
Mr.. Aldrich takes view of the sit.
uation entirely different from that en-.
tertained by leaders of the administra.
ton and those members of the house
who have sought to start an early
program for action.
Sees No Need for Haste.
According to Senator Aldrich it will
be impossible to start action by the
senate before the holidays, and per,
haps not for some time thereafter.
The senator believes that the none
tary stress is about over, and that
cash payments soon will be resumed
everywhere under conditions that will
demonstrate that it has been want of
confidence rather than want of great.
er volume of currency that has caused
the trouble. In fact, Senator Aid,
rich insists that before the winter is
over there will be an immense over,
supply of currency, due to the STOP
page of industrial operations and gen.
eral curtailing of business on account
of the money tightness.
This will leave large supply of
currency IN the banks, which supply
has been greatly augmented by the
operations of the treasury and the
banks during the last few weeks.
Senate Will Wait.
For these reasons Senator Aldrich
does not believe there should be haste
in passing legislation to provide for
emergency currency issues. He will
not indicate what he has in mind in
the way of corrective legislation and
he denies that he has prepared any
bill on the subject. He says nothing
will be done until the finance commit.
tee is organized, as it must be, by the
filling of vaeaHeies.-
The close of the last week found q
confident feeling prevailing in bank.
ing circles and at the treasury that
the financial situation of the country
Will soon resume its normal state.

THE BOARDS SPECIAL
COUNSEL FEES.
, ~>%~%%~~~~~~~%%<
Lakeland Sun.

Why should some of the papers
throughout the state become so very
active now in their condemnation of
Gov. Broward for having employed eX-
ira counsel in connection with the
states litigation over the lands and
the internal improvement fund? 1t de-
VelOpS that the matter of paying for
additional counsel is no new PROPOSE
ton, but never before have we heard
OF any kick being made against having
additional counsel when it became nee
eSsary, even though larger fees have
been paid by former administrations.
We believe in economy, but at the
same time the interest of the state
must not be permitted to suffer at the
cost of economy. We believe Gov.
BrOward really deserves great credit
for his strong fight to prevent the rail
roads from getting what little land We
have left, to prevent them from recOv-
ering certain part of the funds now
held by the Internal Improvement
Board, and we believe he has been
honest and faithful in what he has
done in this connection. Doubtless if
he had allowed the railroads to have
secured the remainder Of the public
lands of the state, and to have other
wise manipulated affairs as best pleas
ed them, the selfsame papers would
have commended him, and never given
one word of protest against him deed
ing away three to five million dollars
worth of the state lands to the rail
roads. This would have been all right
but oh, how terrible it is for him to
spend five thousand dollars a year in
an endeaVOr to save the people of
Florida millions of dollars worth of
land. 1t is not the expenditure Of the
additional fee that is really worrying
some people; it is the action of Gov
ernor Broward in sealing fast the
doors of the states land bounty
against land grant railroads.

THIS ONE is ON
SENATOR HUMPHREYS.
Lakeland Sun.


Senator HUMPHREYS, of Braden-
town, is fathering a movement look
ing towards the adoption Of con-
stitutiOnal amendment which would
shut out the liquor traffic from the
entire state.
Now, at the jeff Browne reception
at Key West this writer saw Senator
HUMPHREYS in powerful close proX-
unity to the artillery punch. There
was an-at-peace-with-all- eX-
preston on his benevolent counter
ance, but whether the mere inhala-
ton of punch through his temperate
nostrils caused this beautiful express
sion, dependent sayeth not. One fact
remains: The Honorable Joe, alone
of all the brilliant company. lost his
hat! Others may have lost their
heads, but IL so, the difference was
not sufficiently noticeable to attract
attention. But Senator HUMPHREYS
shore did, lose his lid
Persidage aside, vote on the
amendment suggested would pre-Sup-
pose a hot old time in the state. For
one thing think of the howl that
would go up from the tourist hotel
folks, whose income from drinkables
is probably larger than from eatables.
Outside the larger cities, however,
we believe there would be a large
majority in favor of such measure.

Books and Digestion,

1t seem 10 me that with the multi
plication Of books we are losing all
sense Of literature. Leisure and three
books-a Bible, a Shakespeare, a Walt
Whitman-might make a man truly
wise if the seeds of wisdom were in
him. l do not know even a wise man
whose instinct for wisdom would not
be deadened by the Reorganization Of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Books
should be taken in doses no bigger than
music or pictures. They are even
harder to digest. There is more drunk
ennesS in a book than In all the vine
yards of France. A book may remake
mans soul. Books should be treated
with reverence or cast out as dirt
