The Aldritch currency h.j
was passed by the Senate t,,ls. |
by vote of ~ to 10, in II /
main a party vote. Pre-, iou |
10 the taking of the vote on til. |
Aldrich bill, a vote was TAXI !
on the Bailey substitut te author
lzIng the government, ins es,
OF the national banks, to iSsu
the emergency circulation f I
which the bill provides. Til,
vote on the sbstitute stood 20 t,
l3, and this vote was entirely
partisan, even Senator LaFol i
cite casting his vote with til.
Republicans. The bill has hecn
before the Senate since Janu-
arY 9th.
An interesting feature of til.
passage of the bill was reiter
alton by Mr.. Al,lrich of hi
promise to bring in bill fo:
an investigation of the entir,
banking system of the country
with a view to instituting r,
forms.
As-passed the bill provides
for not more than S5O0,O00,0OU
of emergency currency to be
Issued 10 national banks upol,
the deposit by them of State,
county and municipal bonds to
be approved by the Secretary
of the Treasury The curren
cy is to be issued with a view
of securing an equitable distri
button of the currency over the
United States, and in accord
ance with the unimpaired capi-
tai and surplus of banks in
each State. Banks are to p;y
for this emergency circulation
half of one per cent. a month
during the first four months
it is circulated and afterwards
I of one per cent. a month
The bill provides that nation
al banks shall pay not less
than l per cent. on government
fund deposited with them.
Before the vote was taken on
the bill Senator Overman ex-
planned his reasons for oppos-
ing it. He said in part:
The Aldrich bill does not
get at the root of the trouble
but only administers to the
! diseased surface. It is said it
is a patch; it is a thin patch
upon the crazy quiltof our mon
etary system. A salt ,salution
J for use only when death is i'm
mlnent or an emergency comes.
"What avail would this bill
have been, what relief would il
have brought to the country
: banks in October last? Tht
country banks do notown State

"Is There Danger?"

Editor of The NATIONAL PRoH1B1-
ZIONIST Your most timely and militant
editorial of March IL, under the caption
rs There Danger?" should open the
eyes of Prohibition party officials,
speakers and voters. 1t is a timely
warning which we should hear DER and
DER.
SO many of these so-called "Prohibi-
ton movements" as local option, ETC.,
today are (whatever the intention of
their hackers may Beg little less than
automatic stop-cock, safety valves at
tachable and attached to the old party
organizations to allow the Prohibition
sentiment to escape sufficiently to pre-
serve the parties and at the same time
conserve that sentiment enough for use
as motive power.
What we need today is new align
ment of American voters in a perma-
nent political organization on a moral
issue. 1t is mere folly to keep the good
and the bad under the same party yoke
and hope to accomplish anything for the
permanent publication of politics and
the establishment of truth and right in
our national life.
We have the issue. Gle that is not
with us is against u.s." Keep the stand
ard high We shall not fail

IS THIS FROM THE SWAMPS?

The New Orleans Picaymte, which
has been most determined opponent
of the Prohibition movement, occupy
ing a position so unique as sometimes
to raise the wonder whether it's editor
does not live in some of Louisiana's
boundless swamps and get his connec-
ton with the outside world up the
bayous by pirogue, sees a new horror
in the Prohibition movement. To its
startled eyes the movement becomes an
attempt to regulate every personal
affair. 1t says:
The moral wave, as it is called,
which is sweeping over the country,
is one of the most significant signs
OF the times. 1t is not an attempt
by preaching, praying and the other
usual means IN use to propagate re-
l1gious and moral doctrines, but it is
a movement by means of prohibitory
and compulsory laws to force the
population under heavy penalties to
conform to particular and specific
routines of living in regard to almost
every relation of daily existence.
Its effects are seen in the various
enactments by the law-making powers
of the nation, of states and munich
palities regulating the food, drink,
manner of living and business of the
people, the object being, apparently,
to bring every individual of the entire
population to the same standard and
routine of daily life.
One of the most striking facts in
this connection is the recent rapid
march of the anti-liquor movement
through the country. Half a century
ago, more or less, the people of the
state of Maine secured the enactment
of a law prohibiting the sale and
manufacture of any spirituous or fer
mented liquors in the limits of their
commonwealth. Maine at that time
had about 100000 population, and
fifty years afterward it had about

100000, showing a very slow growth
Its people maintained their Prohibi
ton law with few or no imitators
until within a few years past Prohi
bition has spread to Kansas, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Georgia and Ala
bama. Campaigns for Prohibition
are now in progress in Mississippi,
North Carolina and Texas That it
will be enacted in Mississippi seems
certain, and its further spread seems
likely.
The grand argument that has OBJ
tanned the propagation of this re-
markable movement is that the use
of liquors is the cause of the great
est part, if not of the whole, of the
crime vice and sin that prevail in
this country, and if there were no
liquor consumed by the people there
RACES, nothing of the shocking inn
moralities, and few, if any, of the
serious crimes that make up so large
a part of the daily human record in
every part of this great republic.
There is no intention or desire here
to question this doctrine now so gen
orally received, and that the Ameri-
can people seem determined to give
it trial is not to be doubted But
the enactment of laws is one thing
and their enforcement is another.
Attempts are being made to
get Prohibition laws through Con-
gress. In view of the apparent dis
position throughout the country to
bring the entire population under the
control of a uniform and universal
system of state socialism, national
Prohibition may be accomplished.
The Picayune can perhaps get the per-
;onal assurance of the Prohibition lead
RS that no attempt will be made, under
;over of the "wave," to force the editor
o cut his hair or stop feeding the hogs
n his front yard. Some of the "rela-
ions of daily existence" shall be left
rec to him.

DRINK RESULTS IN FRANCE
What Alcohol Does in the Land
Where They Tell Us There Is
No Drunkenness

[Paris CORRESPONDENT in British Med
icaI Journal
Two years ago the Academic de Medi-
Gin, in order to find out the part played
by alcoholism in the general mortality
in hospital practice, invited the members
of medical societies to collect statistics
of all deaths in their wards. M. Fernet
recently communicated the summary of.
these statistics, showing that during the
preceding ten to fifteen months, among
total of over 1900 deaths occurring in
eleven different hospital services, alco-
hol played a part as cause of death IN
one-third of the cases (33.81 percent)
it was the principal cause in one-tenth
of the deaths (1O.2O per cent?; it was
the accessory cause in more than two
tenths of the deaths (23.61 per cent?.
Among the principal fatal manifestations
of alcohol, M. Fernet includes such af-
fections as delirium tremens and haemor-
rhagia, and such chronic affections as
cirrhosis of the liver and cardio-vascular
diseases, which bring about apoplexy,
softening of the brain, and some forms
of kidney disease In the second class
in which alcohol played an accessory
part, M Fernet places all cases of dis
ease which develop or are fatal because
the patient is an a1coholic-for example
many cases of pneumonia, erysipelas and
other acute infectious diseases.
The influence of alcohol on mortality
was still greater in the lunatic asylums
than in general hospitals. There alco-
hol was the cause of disease and death
in nearly half the male cases, and in
one-sixth of the female cases. In Off
cial statistics, numbers of alcoholic
deaths are classed under different or
ganic disease of which alcohol is the
cause, otherwise it would occupy place
with tuberculosis, among the chief
causes of death.

And He's Dissatisfied Too.

Mr.. Joseph E. Thropp, the owner of
Catoctin Furnace property, is very much
dissatisfied with the award of the jury
and has ordered his counsel, Jacob Rohr-
back, to file an appeal. So much so. is
he out of sorts about the matter that he
has ordered that all work cease on him.
Mr.. Thropp having given permission to
do some preliminary work on him pend
ing final adjustment of the amount of
damages wanted by him. Other things
have happened to show that Mr.. Thropp
is decidedly out of humor.
It's too bad, as in our judgment, he is
simply forging link in his own chain
that may prove to be very calling to
him. The railroad and Mr.. Thropp ought
to be good friends. The railroad wants
Mr.. Thropp's business, and Mr.. Thropp
wants the railroad to be accommodating
to him. The M. V. R. R. is now owned
and is a part of the W., F. & G. system
and it is not past possible that the rail
road would in some way retaliate if Mr..
Thropp insists on warfare. We trust for
the benefit of all persons concerned that
the railroad company and Mr. Thropp
will not get into useless litigation.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t Is astonishing how great change a
few years OF married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brlliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudoly handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, Il faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
