REVOLVING TOWER
 FOR ADVERTISING

An electrical revolving tower pur- posed to display advertisements. has been patented by ]. T. Moncrief of Montgomery, who believes that it is going to work wonders in the realm of trade publicity. Mir. Moncrief is now constructing a tower to be exhibited in the city. fh
 Mir. Moncrief's invention comprises a tower of any desired dimensions, which vary with the character of the pur~ poses for which 1t Is intended. It is reyoived by electricity and thus d.s- plays illuminated advertisements which, after being set in frames. are attached to the tower.
 Mr. Mencrief is native of Mont gorneky County and his numerous friends here are greatly interested in his iFvenaion's future.

 The open air treatment. fresh air ana sunlight. are recognized by the medical profession generally as being the greatr est necessities in the treatment of con- sumption in all It's stages.
 Dr. Hartman has for many years ad- vocated the fresh air treatmens for con~ sumption. At the safhe time he has recognized Peruna as useful paIiIa- tive for the many distressing aymp- toms which accompany the whita plague.

CONSERVATISM IN iNoIA.

Editor Herald; A native journal OF
British India says:
within five short years great
change has come over section OF
the native population of Lahore. Ger
tain bold men have begun to take out
their wives in the evenings for a
drive in open vehicles. A week ago
we saw the daughter of a man of posi-
ton walking with her father on the
railway platform at Lahore. She
was dressed in what seemed like an
English gown. had English shoes on,
and when her husband came up she
left her father and walked about with
him. Her face was quite uncovered.
Let those who have relatives in
Lahore go there and see for them
selves the state of things. They will
see wives going out shoulder to shout
der with their husbands in the even
ings, having said goodbye to old re-
strictions. A man who would dare
to reimpose the old manners on his
womenkind would receive scant
courtesy"
An American reads this with
smile; but is the conservatism of In
dia any more ridiculous than the con-
servatism of America, which forbids
woman to go to the polls with her
father or her husband and drop slip
of paper into a ballot box? The ar
guments put forth today against wo-
man SUFFRAGE win be as amusing to
the next generation as the consterna-
ton of this East Indian editor over
the advanced women who are SO
bold and unfemn.ne as to walk in puD-
lie with uncovered faces and in COM
pany with their fathers and husbands.

WILSON FOB GOVERNOR.

The Keokuk Gate-City. It is a fact
not to be ignored or disguised that
there is crisis in the affairs of the
republican party in Iowa. The party
Is divided into factions and torn by
dissensions. Within the past four
or five years it's majority in the state
has been reduced from over 100000 to
less than 10000 and conditions with
in the party are constantly growing
worse. There can be but one out
come to this state of affairs unless
something is done at once to remedy
it. The party will inevitably suffer
defeat at the polls, with correspond
ing loss of prestige and opportunity
and power for usefulness. In view OF
its high standing in the past, it's in
fluence in the counsels of the nation,
its record of noteworthy accomplish
ments and the good of the state now
and in future years it is imperatively
necessary that something be done to
save il from the fate that threatens.
Can anyone suggest better man
under the circumstances than James
Wilson, secretary of agriculture in
President Rooseyelt's cabinet? His
standing is all that could be desired.
He is q man of exceptional ability and
established reputation. AS secretary
of agriculture he has done a work
and made a name for himself that is
known all over the world. He enjoys
the unique distinction of having oc-
cupied a cabinet position for a much
greater length of time than any 9th
er man in this country ever did. This
has not been the result of chance or
fortuitous circumstances, but because
OF, his pre-eminent fitness for the
place and the unprecedented value OF
the work he has accomplished.
ne would rank with the best COVER
nors Iowa has ever had and give the
state an administration to which it
would always refer with justifiable
pride. 1t is not known that he would
accept the nomination even if tender
ed him, but that is a secondary con
sideration If il is the concensus OF
the best minds. in the. Marty in the
state that he is the man for the hour
the man to reunite the party and
lead il to an old-time republican vic
tory-he should be made to accept
as patriotic duty. Such a call no
man could we'll refuse. Why not

CURRENCY LEGISLATION.

Currency continues to be the SUB.
Ject to which the leaders in both
houses of congress are devoting ehiel
attention. While the confusion
caused by the multitude of suggest
ions at the beginning of the session
has been cleared away to great ex,
tent, it has not yet been possible to
satisfy all the men most influential in
shaping currency legislation in con.
gress or all the financial interests out.
side with any single measure that
has been brought forward thus far.
1t has been assumed in many quar-
ters that Senator Aldrich's bill would
be the one TO be passed. While the
presumption is naturally in favor of
this measure on account of Mr.. Aid
rich's influence as chairman OF the
Senate Committee on Finance, a
great deal of opposition to his bill
has developed, both on the part of
members of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency and among
prominent bankers in the east and
west alike. Former Comptroller of
the Currency, A. Barton Hepburn,
president of the Chase National Bank
of New York, who is generally recog-
nized as spokesman of the consery-
ative banking interests OF the coun-
try, has protested publicly and vigor-
ously against any provision for bond
secured currency.
Many financial experts. especially
those who have studied the currency
systems OF France. England and Ger
many, are in Iayor of a central bank.
There seems 10 be a general feeling,
however. that a prejudice exists
against such measure, although lit
tie evidence OF any such feeling has
been displayed here. The fear of
arousing this prejudice makes many
congressman shy of endorsing any
proposal for central bank of issue

citation, which was instrumental in

number of Appleton's Magazine, is
the provision OF an emergency cur
rency by simply developing and rec
ognizing officially the clearing house
certificate plan used with such good
effect in the recent trouble. He
points out that the amount of such
certificates issued in New York was
$97 100000, or less than 10 per cent
of the total deposits. This amount is
less proportionately than was issued
during 1893. A large part of these
certificates have been cancelled al
ready and all are likely to be retired
within a short time. This amount
was in excess of actual requirements
as the full amount issued was not in
use even at the height of the panic
and retirements began almost as soon
as the issue was made.
"A careful computation" said Mr.
Gilbert, shows that $74,00O,000 would
have sufficed to do the required work
With this amount of certificates, re
stricted in their use to Clearing
House purposes, exchanges to the
amount of $4,000, 100000 daily have
been settled quietly and effectively
Here we have the best object lesson
OF an emergency currncy that can
possibly be given-a currency that is
as absolutely secure as anything hu
man can be, that can be quickly Is
sued and quickly retired, that re
quires no complicated bank machin
cry to put il into circulation, that
will never be issued until it is i'm
peratively required, that can never re
suit in imitation, and that will always
be under the control OF the most ex
periencedg bankers. Furthermore, il
may be. added that this is a system
which is purely American. Z sf
"All that is needed to adapt such
system to our requirements is ,deyel
opment, and | feel confident that II
the subject could be referred to, the
Clearing House Committees of the
three central reserve cities, an emer
gency currency plan could be evolved
that would be in harmony with oul
national banking system and be less
subject to criticisms and opposition
than any other system which has yet
been proposed" ...,. .
In case the opposition to the Aid
rich measure becomes formidable, il
is likely that the plan outlined in the
Appleton article will be adopted, al
least as a temporary provision assur
ing safety from such decentralization
as was threatened last October.
