hero! If w. ]. Bryan in his advocacy
of guarantee Of deposits would confine
himself to savings banks. think he
would be sensible in this instance at
least. The savings by people who ara
mostly helpless in business and un-
skilled in trade of any kind and most
~ made up of women and children,
are proper subjects for the paternal
care Of the state government. The
most pathetic scene in the financial
world is to see these people come
down to poverty and want. think
1t is little less than crime to allow
them to suffer.
| think the Aldrich bill would be
more properly named: "A plan to en-.
able the banks to get to shelter Of
clearing houses and checks in case of
financial stress" There Is nothing
worth much in this world that has no
redeemer.
God has but one redeemer in the
spiritual world so in the material
world there is but one redeemer, not
l6 to l. but ONE. Clearing house
certificates and checks do not redeem
anything. If we can get anything else
Now with all due Difference to the
opinions Of others, believe we are
on the wrong road and we should re-
trace our steps. We want to take our
government out of the banking busl-
ness. except to coin into money the
gold and silver God has given us for
that purpose and to regulate the use
of this money in the promotion If
commerce and trade. Fiat or token
money is not good for anything ex-
cept as matter of convenience in
handling.
Government guarantee is no guar
antee at all unless it has the goll
back Of it. When the gold of the con
federate government was gone, all
was gone.
We seem to be satisfied these times
with any fiat we can call redeemer.
There never was and there never will
be day In this country in which
there Is not enough real money to
base credit on for all legitimate trade
and business, but when we attempt to
create emergency and elastic currency
to meet our wants In speculations, we
are lost and do not know which way
to turn
Now let congress take the govern
ment entirely out of the banking bust
ness and confine it to legitimate funo-
ton of regulating the use of the mon.
ey that God has provided for us and
drop all this fallacy of wanting more
money to move crops. Whenever
there is market for any kind of
crops either here or in Europe, the
shipper can get credit or the money
for 1t whenever he can get the grain
In the cars and a way bill for it.
We need no elasticity in money to
do this, simply legitimate conserva-
tive business is wanted We want to
get our heads on our shoulders, which
we seem to have lost In the financial
scare and mixup which, happily, now
seems to be passing Off

FEW FREAKS IN ARCHITECTURE.
Eceentricity on the Part Of Those
Building and Furnishing Houses.

Instances Of eccentricity on the part
Of those building and furnishing
houses are common enough in every
community. The following instances
Of freakishness in that regard may be
cited in illustration of certain phases.
Russian gentleman has erected at
a cost Of 5000 rubles on his country
estate at Savinowka, in Podolia, a 16-
room house made entirely of paper
This house. which was constructed in
New York. is calculated by its archi-
tect to last longer than would a stone
building. The whole of the furniture,
too. is made from the same material.
In County Westmeath, ireland, a
house has been built whereof all the
windows are made to resemble in out
line the backs of OF easy chairs, being
thus constructed by its eccentric own
eer to match the backs of a set of
chairs In the dining-room.
In Connecticut a certain land owner,
thinking that the view from his house
lacked a church, proceeded to supply
its place by erecting row of cottages
so designed as to resemble. from his
side. the edifice required. Approached
from the other direction, however, the
sham is at once manifest.
Some years ago a man OF scientific
attainments, as well as OF considerable
means, elected to live in a tree In a
suburb OF Washington-that is, he en-
joyed his leisure moments in the
branches Of the tree itself. where he
had caused to be built platform
large enough to accommodate easy
chairs and such other furniture as he
desired to make use Of during the day.
At the base OF the tree, however,
and surrounding II was built a struc.
ture OF brick and stone inclosing the
sleeping apartments OF this eccentric
individual. For many years this
unique residence was one of the
sights OF the national capital.
One OF the oldest houses ever con.
structed was the fruit of French.
mans inventive fancy. This was the
revolving house." structure actual.
ly built upon casters, SO to speak. in
order that the occupant might by
means OF an ingenious mechanism at
any time roll It about, SStaining what.
ever light and air his fancy dictated.

House Passes Widows, Pension Bill

Washington.-The house Monday
passed the Sulloway bill granting a
fiat pension of s12 monthly to all
widows of honorably discharged SOL
diers. Its provisions were first ex-
planned by its author, who said it in
volved an additional expenditure Of
$12, ,741 900.
He described destitute widows Of sol
diers, who are unable to secure pen
sions because of some technicality re-
garding their property holdings, and
received applause when he said these
technicalities should be swept away.
An amendment was sought to be
added to the bill by Mr.. Fulton (Okla.)
making the pension $50 per month, but
under the rules that could not be done.
He, however, expressed his approval
of the measure and urged its passage.
The bill was further supported by
Bonynge (Colorado) and others.
Amid loud applause the bill was
passed without division and with only
one voice in opposition. The attend
ance of members today was the largest
since the opening day.

LoveIand Sugar Factory.

Denver.-A Loveland, Colorado dis
patch Saturday, says: The Loveland
Sugar factory finished slicing beets at
9 o'clock this morning, after sue
cessful run Of 127 days. Four or five
days will be required to finish the
sugar making. when the working Of
cleaning up and overhauling will be
begun. This factory has handled
100000 tons of beets from about 10000
acres Of land and the output of sugar
will be about 100000 sacks. 1t has
employed 400 men during the cam
paign, with a payroll of about $55,00o

Taylor Jury Discharged.

Aspen.-The jury in the Taylor MUIR
der case has been discharged, it's men,
bers having been unable to agree. The
jury at 10 O'Clock Monday morning
asked the court for further instruc.
tions concerning the testimony intro
duced during the trial. and members
then stated that they believed they
would be able to reach an agreement,
but after retiring and discussing the
additional instructions they did not
succeed in doing so. Their first bal
lot showed eight for murder in the first
degree and four for acquittal. After
q long discussion one more went to the
side of those believing Taylor guilty,
making the vote nine to three.

Colorado City Wins.

Denver.-The Supreme Court sus.
tanned ! he ruling of the lower court in
the action brought by Colorado City
against Colorado Springs. The water
supply of Colorado City has been
furnished by Colorado Springs for
many years, and when certain improve
ments were made in the water system
at the Springs the water tax of Colo.
RADIO City was raised twenty-five per
cent. over the prevailing rate at the
Springs TO pay large portion of the
improvement. Colorado City has since
that time paid its water bills under
protest and has now won the fight
against what the lower court pro.
nounced unjust charges.
