THE CURRENCY MEA SURES.

The Aldrich currency bill now before Con.
gress and recently endorsed by Senator Smoot
in the first big" speech Of his Senatorial
career, has been regarded by the writer as a
very doubtful measure, and 1t Is with some de-
gree Of pleasure that we note the opposition Of
great body Of business men says the Aldrich
bill "aims to fasten upon the country still
another variety Of unweldy bond.secured cur.
rency, of value to nobody save those who have
bonds to SELL" Inasmuch as few Utahns have
bonds to sell they will hardly look upon this
measure with particular favor The New York
Merchants Association declares in favor Of the
Fowler BIZ, for the following reasons:
First-It will establish an elastic credit
currency, based upon the correct principle that
both bank deposits and notes are demand obi.
cations, interchangeable at the will Of the de.
positor, and protected by proper reserves
Second-It provides guarantee for both
deposits and bank no ties, upon the principle OF
co-nsurance.
Thirdly dividing the country into bank.
ing districts, each responsible for a share Of the
losses therein, and controlled by a local board
OF managers, IL will, without sectional Jealousy
produce the advantages OF a central bank and
its branches.
FOurth-The extension Of the powers o.
national banks, to include those OF savings
banks and trust companies, will extend the
benefits OF these institutions to parts Of the
country where they otherwise could not be
successfully maintained, and by making it
profitable for those already existing to take
out national charters, the banking system OF
the country will be unified under national con.
troll.
Fifth-It recognizes the moral obligation
to protect the national banks from loss upon
government bonds, which they have purchased
as basis for bank.note issues to be discon
tinued.
Sixth-It legal tender provisions simplify
business with the government.
Seventh-The annual tax Is moderate-a
high tax Is tax upon industry.
Eighth-It will ultimately convert the
present partially secured legal tender notes into
gold certificates.
Ninth-Unless currency reform Is enacted,
now that thought Is conferred upon the subject,
nothing will be accomplished, until financial
disaster again compels attention. We dis.
approve OF any makeshift measure, and believe
that all should unite In urging permanent legis.
ation.

Against Death Penalty.

The telegram To save his own life man
has right to take the life OF another. but we
believe 1t would be vastly wiser when men are
convicted OF capital offenses to place them in a
cell six feet by eight, feed them through little
wicket, and lO them die from natural causes
In the course OF nature. Many men who are
guilty escape now because men shrink from
inficting the death penalty; some innocent
men are punished; some are convicted on evi.
dence as lmsy as that which caused two
unfortunate women to be executed for witch.
craft We believe 1t would be better to do
away with the death penalty"

MORAL COURAGE NEEDED NOW.

Charles f. DOLE author CT 1.-THE Coming
ages past physical courage was the prime neces.
sity, hits the nail on the head in the following
1T is no longer enough for the modern state
that its leaders shall be men so brave as not to
run away from an enemy. 1t is not enough for
the captain OF industry to be stronger than any
OF his workmen. We want another and more
costly quality. We have yet to require In our
political leaders that they shall be brave enough
to stand alone, and to cay the eternal NO to the
projects OF avarIce or selfish ambition. We want
capitalists OF moral fibre to decry and veto the
use of bribery and corruption In legislation,
and none the less firmly when subtly debasing
methods promise for the moment to foster their
own selfish interests.
IF we are to have rich men at all In the
future, we are going to demand men Of courage,
who shall speak out whatever they honestly
think Is for the social welfare II, In the old
times, men despised the weakling and coward,
will not men come to see that moral cowardice
Is not respectable? II the big bodied man,
afraid to use his strength when 1t was needed,
was the worst sort OF coward, why shall we not
rate as beneath respect the man whose money
power or selfish greed Of gain or place takes
away his manly independence, and reduces him
to the level of the sneak?
THE truth Is, superb moral courage Is the
crying need Of democracy. II mankind had at
tanned sufficient results in virility In the days
OF war, we might perhaps tremble lest the new
civilization, having no further fields for its
conquest, should decline to supine ease On
the contrary, the grand attachments are yet
before u.s. There was never so great pressure
on the civilized peoples for the product of
courage. Such demand is itself a prophecy
that we are on the eve Of new and forward
march. 1t need not be marked by bloody steps,
but it must needs be all the more strenuous
and masterful. 1t will call for brave hearts,
who know not the fear Of death, ora harder
test OF courage-the fear OF the face of man"

The MAJORITY EVER OPPOSED.

Progressive public action seldom, II ever,
comes from the majority-the minority advo.
Gates and forces the issue when 1t can largely
by converting representatives of the majority
in Official position. Recognizing this fact and
notins the usual losing light Of minority pro.
gressionists, the state legislature has taken
from the majority the power In certain instan.
ces and given il to the minority.
But for the fact that one third OF the foot
frontage in any given paving district can carry
its demands over two.thirds opposition Logan
city probably would have two blocks of cement
sidewalk today instead OF six or eight miles OF
such walk. 1t is doubtful II In any paving dis.
trict in this city majority of the foot frontage

Say Of Other Editors
About Raising Trout.

Provo Enquirer Twelve pounds OF liver will
feed 100000 young trout one day when they
are first taken from the hatchery and, as they
grow nearly one quarter Of an inch in length
each week. the amount they consume Is In.
creased proportionately, so that when they are
one year old they will eat $50 pounds Of food
per day. This may consist Of any kind OF meat
or shorts or graham mush. Carp or other fish
make most excellent trout food. They are
prepared by simply cutting OF the head and
running the balance OF the fish through meat
grinder. One hundred thousand trout can be
fed one year on an average cost OF fifty cents
per day which is only one fifth of one cent for
feeding one trout during the entire year. Trout
one year old will vary In size but will weigh
from 3 TO ounces and will measure from 30
inches long. The smallest Of these will bring
10 cents and the larger ones Is cents each on
the market. AS the original cost OF the fish
and his food for one year Is only fraction OF a
cent II is plain to see that there Is over 1000 per
cent In this business and that man investing
$1,000 In this industry can clear up $1,000 to
$4,000 In year, after allowing for a % per
cent loss In his fish. One gentleman In the
county last year paid eight dollars for 1000 fry
and raised over 900 OF Them most OF which are
over nine inches long and are worth SIP so.
The food for these few fish has cost him moth
ing. Where can you clear over 800 from an *
investment in one year? Why let the other
fellow get the start Of you In this coming in.

THE meeting at Norton was a fine

of the pleasing features of the cam

the country from Norton to Norcatur
in an automobile and met with hearty
reception at that place. A tent which
seated about 500 had been erected for
the occasion and though the town has
only about 500 population the tent was
filled.
Farmers came for many miles to
attend this meeting and when we are
told that the farmers are not interested
in the present campaign am convinced
that some one is mistaken. At Oberlin
I spoke in the afternoon to a splendid
audience which filled the new opera
house which has Just been completed
in that little city. The enthusiasm dis
played at this meeting was a surprise
to me and a most welcome one for IT
