THE CURRENCY QUESTION

An animated discussion took place
between Senator Bailey and Mr.. Bry-

cussion war about the democratic
view of the currency question. Both
Mr.. Bryan and Senator Bailey said
there had been very little difference
of opinion. Both stood for the direct
government issuance of money, in
stead of an issue brought through the
banks. Mr.. Bryan would make no
statement as to whether he approved
of the complete plan of Senator Bal
ley as outlined in the substitute he
will offer for the Aldrich bill, but he
said that its basis was good demo-

The conduct of the administration
and particularly that OF the secretary
of the treasury in connection with
the recent financial stringency was
condemned by Mr.. Johnson, Of South
Carolina. At that time. he said, with
an abundance OF money in the treas
ury, with millions of dollars OF the
peoples money lying in the banks OF
the country without interest, the in
terest-bearing debt OF the people had
been increased in violation OF law.
Mr.. Johnson attacked the Panama
bond issue and declared that the mo-
ney did not go for the purpose OF
constructing the canal.
Mr. Tawney took issue with him
and said il was the duty OF the secre-
tary TO issue the bonds for the reason
that expenditures already made ex-
ceeded by almost $50,000.000 the
"nount of the proceeds OF the previous
bond sale.

the time of Jefferson
Mr. Bryan again visited the lobby
of the house today and spent an hour
on more chatting with Representative
Ollie James, of Kentucky, and other
members. Mr.. Bryan's attention
being called ID the supreme court de-
cision holding that corporation has
right to discharge a man because
he is a member of a labor union, he
dictated a statement TO The Associated
Press which in part is as follows:
THE subject IS one of vital i'm
portance, and ! do not understand
by what course of reasoning the ma
iority of the court reached the de-
cision announced. A corporation is
a creature of law. 1t has no right
except those given it by law and it
must not be confused with the natu-
raj man. Man was created TO carry
out a divine purpose; the corpora
tion was created to make money. The
corporation enjoys many rights and
privileges which are denied TO the in
dividual and it cannot claim the pos
session Of any natural or inalienable
rights. The power that creates a
corporation can restrict it, restrain
it and control 1t, and congress has
plenary powers in dealing with cor
porations insofar as they engage in
interstate commerce.
'"The union Is a lawful association,
and If a man can be discharged be-
cause he belonged to a labor union,
by the same logic he can be discharg-
ed If he belonged to political party
Objectionable to the employer, or to
church against which the employer
is prejudiced. Followed to it's log
ical conclusion the principle laid
down by the court, as / understand
the decision would enable the cor
poration to set itself up as a dictator
in regard to the habits, thoughts and
convictions of it's employees in any
and every subject

cided today to hear Mr.. Bryan on
| Thursday morning next in support of
the Belmont bill, which makes COM
pulsory the publication of campaign
contributions from corporations by

Mr.. Bryan was again the chief
guest at a dinner given in his honor
tonight by Senator Newlands, of Ne
yada, at "Woodley." Invited to dine
with the distinguished Nebraskan
we're thirteen democratic senators
and Judson Harmon, of Ohio. To-
nights dinner was the second one

(Snecial to The Meseneerl


Raleigh, N. c., January 2S.-
The senate passed the bill requiring
blind children to attend the state
school and ordering counties to take
a complete census of such children
and report in order to force the
blind to attend, there being already
a compulsory law for deaf mutes.
A bill passed the senate so chang
ing the name of Sumner township
in GuilfOrd county, as to show it to
be named in honor of General Jethro
Sumner, of the revolutionary war, in
stead of Charles Sumner.
Another rather odd bill allows
Methodist ministers, authorized to
preach, bat not ordained, to perform
the marriage ceremony, this being
intended for the mountain region,
where there are many young mis-
sionaries in the field.
Another bill which passed allowed
sheriffs in several counties in the ex-
treme east and west fees for seizing
illicit distilleries, this being intended
to arouse them to do their duty un-
der the state law.
A bill passed allowing the governor
$4,400 to pay for the site of the
North Carolina building at the James
town exposition, it being stated that
North Carolina is the only state that
has a title to it's land there, and that
unless this appropriation was made
the state might lose both the land
and the building also.
The chief event in the senate was
the discussion of the railway rate
bill, which came up as a special Or
der. Mr.. Ormond lead off, saying he
had thought it unwise to call a spe-
cial session, but believed it a far
greater mistake to adjourn without
settling definitely this rate matter.
He declared the 2 u cents rate was
all right, but there must be conces-
sions. He anita gonized the amend
ment allowing the governor to re-
cefve from the railways S17,500 for
attorneys fees, saying Governor
Clean had full authority to accept
this money or reject it. He also OPP
posed the amendment proposing to

The. Fayetteville Observer has the

cerning the fire the Observer, which
appeared yesterday afternoon as usual,
has the following
At one o'clock last night Ny. w. B.
Malloy, on way home, discovered that
fire was raging in the interior of the
Observer office. He gave the alarm
and the firemen were soon on the spot.
The flames had gained great Roadway
and it was a battle royal to keep them
in check. The night was bitterly cold
and the water froze almost as it fell
70 the ground, but the fir emen battled
on for three hours, and finally con-
quered What they declare was one of
the stubbornest fires they have had
to contend with in a long time
'The building was practically quit
e0 though the fire was confined al
most entirely to the two upper stories,
the flames having originated On the
second floor, the ground floor was
practically wrecked by FALLING plaster
and water.
THE Observer files, dating far back,
were the first things tahen from the
building and beyond a little wetting
they were intact. Part of the office
furniture was also removed, but in
very damaged condition. The ma
chinery, press, linotype, folder, etc,
were on the ground floor and we trust
are not greatly damaged The con-
tents of the third floor were totally
destroyed, while everything on the Sec
ond floor was more or less ined. The
material loss is estimated at 81, 500, on
which there is partial insurance.
In the fire, the linotype machine,
which Is near the front on Green St,
appears to be uninjured It is not Dos
sible to estimate as yet, the damage
to the press and other material. The
greatest loss is that Of the contents of
the "archive room, (2nd story rear)
which included papers Of the late F..
]. Hale back to the early twenties;
the Head Quarters desk (and papers)
of Lanes Brigade, A N. Va; the Regi-
mental Book of the 56th, n. C. T..
1923; correspondence and papers of
the present E. j. Hale for many years:
and 116 packages of very valuable his
torfcal papers and correspondence. The
loss of the contents of this "archive
ROOM is incalculahle and irreparable.
Through all these vicissitudes. the
files Of the Observer have been saved

Interest in the prohibition question
was again revived yesterday when 1t
became known that the house Of rep
reSentativeS, in session at Raleigh ON
Monday night, had passed the senate
prohibition bill with the amendment
however that the state election be held
on the last Thursday in April instead
OF the first Thursday in August, as
provided for in the senate bill This
has to go to the senate to be concur
red in but 1t is not thought that there
will be any great opposition to this in
the upper house.
This early election means that the
fight will be started at once and that
there will be a lively and exciting
campaign. The prohibition bill, IL
adopted by a majority of the voters of
the state, becomes effective on the
first of next January.
The question as to whether to force
the local election on prohibition has
not been decided by the Anti-Saloon
League, but it is considered hardly
probable that they will insist on the
board of aldermen ordering the cleo
ton, if the required number of names
are on the petition, to be held in
March as they had originally asked for
in view of the fact that the state cleo
ton on the question will be held dur
ing. the following month.
Ip published article Rev. F. D.
ToI ~ ba 60
hibition in Wilmington, after discuss
ing the question as to whether the
city election should be forced at this
time, says that it is his settled convic-
tion that it will be best from every
point of view and he asks all those
who want the election to speak to
Chairman Fennel or some member Of
the executive committee.
The prohibition bill passed by the
house was opposed only by three men,
bers one of whom was Representative
Morton of New Hanover. Mr. Morton
opposed the bill on the ground that IL
was not in accordance with the demo-
cratic platform, and that no matter
how the elections go in the counties
already dry they win remain so.
Among other things he said:
Il want to tell you that this prohi-
bition bill is delusion and a snare.
want TO tell you that the people thas
stand against state prohibition as my
people stand. and their sentiment is
evidenced by petitions against the en-
actment OF such Law, by a petition
representing over seventy percent of
the business interests Of my section
and my county, want TO tell You
gentlemen that this bill does not per-
