ALDRICH-VREELAND LAW

Milwaukee Sentinel: The Sentinel
may be pardoned for indulging in a
little self Lgratulation On the
eleventh hour fulfillment of IFS pre-
diction of the eventual passage of
the Aldrich Vreeland currency bill.
The bill passed last Saturday by
the senate combines substantially
the main provisions of the original
A!drich bill with the distinctive fea-
ture of the bill introduced in the
house by Mr. Vreeland.
Essentially, the Aldrlch bill pro-
vided for bond secured emergency
currency by making state, equity.

A FILIBUSTER THAT FAILED

Congress has adjourned. The
closing hours of the session were
characterized by one of the most
unusual filibusters in its history and
Senator LaFollette has established
for that august BODY, the U. S. SEN
ate, new talkfest record, he hav-
ing talked for eighteen hours in an
effort TO kill the emergency curren-
cy bill, the passage of which Pres
ident Roosevelt had announced that
he considered vital to the interests
of the Republican party at this time,
to ward off a recurrence of such IL
nancial troubles as we passed
through last winter. IL his filibus-
ter, which he made in spite of a
promise he is said to have given not
to do so, Senator I4aFollette was aid
ed by Senator Gum-shoe Stone of
Missouri, and Senator Gore, the
blind member from Oklahoma both
democrats, and had his encourage
ment and support all from the Dem
ocratic side of the chamber. Sen
ator jeff DAVIS of Arkansas, the
prize yawper of the senate, tele-
graphed from that state ''hold the
fort for 1 am coming" The filibus
ter failed and the bill was passed at
late hour Saturday by vote OF
forty three to twenty-five follow
ing which the senate adjourned.
The measure embodies the principal
features of the Aldrich bill, which
was favored by the senate, and OF
the Vreeland bill, which was passed
some days ago by the house, and
while it may not be in every respect
exactly what was wanted, it should
do much to prevent such panics as
we have passed through. All i'm
portant legislative measures are to
a great extent compromises and this
was the best obtainable. It was
the bill agreed upon by the confer
ence committee of the house and
senate. Senator Stephenson gave
the measure his hearty support, and
says concerning it: 81 think it is q
bill which will have a wholesome
effect on business conditions, pre-.
vent a panic this fall and enable
our merchants, manufactures and
farmers to approach the crop NOV
ing season and the period of tight
money market without apprehen.
sion or fear. I have talked over
this subject with President Roose

lies the Importance Of currency

LANCASTER REAL BIRTHPLACE
OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?

OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?
Upon the first page of todaY's Her
aid Will be found an article concern
ing the birthplace of the Republican
party with authorities favoring the
claim that the honor belongs to
Ripon, Wisconsin. Men of Michi-
gan claim that the partY's birth
took place at jackson, Mich, on
July 6, 1854, and many proofs are
Brought forward to sustain the
claim. Certain it. is that Aaron b.
Turner, now dead, but at that time
the vigorous editor of the Grand
Rapids Eagle, was advocating
through his paper the forsaking OF
the old Wing party and the forma-
ton of a new party on the lines of
freedom and anti-slavery. in 1853.
Early steps OF similar character
were also taken at Exeter, n. h.
Col. J. G.. Clark, of Lancaster, has
IN his possession and has shown to
the publisher of the Herald within
the past two days a pocket note
book containing the names of about
300 residents of Lancaster and vicin-
ity who were discreetly sounded by
him as eally as 1853 with view to
eenlisting them in the formation OF
such a party and Col Clark ascribes
80 Joseph Cover, who was at that
time the illustrious editor of this
paper, the honor of first suggesting
and advocating the name Republi-
can for the new party. There is
much reason for believing that in
this very city of Lancaster, rather
than in either of the other places
named, did the Republican party
nave its inception. Col. Clark, in
connection with the above, relates
the following interesting personal
reminlscence:
In the fall or early winter Of 1858,
ne and Mr.. Cover one day took a
STROLL fO tha west and north Of the
village of Lancaster and of course
talked politics. They sheltered
themselves from the cold north
wind on the sunny side of straw
pile which stood about two blocks
west of the present North western
station house The question of a
name for the new party arose and
Mr.. Clark asked for suitable name.
Cover had apparently thought the
matter out and replied Immediately,
Republican and proceeded to give
his reasons for urging this name.
One of these reasons seems almost
incredible in the light of the later
history of the republican party,
which was opposed to the federalists
in the early years of our nation, the
party to which Thomas jefferson
belonged, was founded on the prin-
-ciple of opposition TO a centralized
government and in favor of pre-
serving and enlarging the rights of
the states. 1t was for this old party
that Cover wished to name the
new party.

Music.

Sir George A Macfaren, late profess
or of music in the University of Cam
bridge, England, gave the following
definition of music: Music is the art
which employs sound as a medium of
artistic expression for what is not in
the province of literature, of sculpture.
of painting, of acting or of architec-
ture, embodying the inward feelings Of
which all other arts can but exhibit the
effect"

of bonds than national government
bonds were authorized as securities
against this special and contingent
class of bank-nores
To the bonds specified in the Al
drich bill as a basis of emergency
circulation, the Vreeland bill add
ed commercial paper The basis of
circulation was thus considerably
widened. The compromise bill Sc
cures to the bank the additional
privilege contended for by the
house through the Vreeland bill.
Banks desiring to take out emer-
gency notes against bonds will, as
we understand it, deal directly with
the treasury; banks desiring to de-
posit commercial paper against such
notes will deal with it indirectly or
through the new clearing house or
currency associations.
The country is thus provided
with the means for a prompt extra
supply of sound currency in case of
emergency or general stringencY,
available only for and during such
emergency.
The popular knowledge that there
is such a supply always available
will operate toward preventing the
need of recourse to it.
Panic is state of mind. People,
when the vague general scare is be-
ginning get the notion that there is
going to be a money famine. ="
Then they rush pell NELL to the
banks on the panic principle of
every man for himself and the devil
take the hindmost. They don't con-
slider whether the banks in point OF
general assets, are sound or not.
They think only of the money
famine"-a national shortage of
cash, and no more to be had for
immediate use.
If they were assured of the con-
slant existence of an extra supply
ready to be tapped in case of emer-
gency, the danger of this panic state
of mind would be greatly diminished
AS British experience so we'll ex-
empllfies. That is one very import
ant service of psychological sort
this new emergency currency ma
chinery should perform for the
country.
The passage of the Aldrich-V ree-
land bill by the handsome vote of
43 to % is gratifying.
1t shows the hopelessness of Mr..
La Follett's farcical fillbuster against
the republican and administration
measure. The sudden and laugh
BILE collapse of the serseless adver
Using performance was notifying
to the senator and the way it hap
pened made it more so.
Like ''poor Tray" in the ballad,
Mr.. La Toilette is largely the victim
in this case Of bad company. 1t
is sufficiently evident that his slipp-
cry democratic aid, Cum Shoe Bill"
from Missouri, tricked him and left
him in the lurch when he got tired
of the sport 1t may have been fun
for the gum shoe artist but Mr.. La
Toilette can hardly have relished
his position as the butt end of a
democratic joke.

President of Pennsylvania
Railroad May Be Forced
To Retire.
TROUBLE AMONG OFFICIALS
ROAD HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESS
Full IN NEGOTIATING NEEDED
LOANS.

Pittsburg. Pa. Aug. Ga telegram
from New York in effect that there
was trouble brewing in the big Penn
sylvania railroad family, that Presi-
dent James McCrea was on the verge
of being asked to resign, by his direc-
torate, because, of a bad blunder he
had made and his inability to borrow
money, caused much concern in Pitts
burg. where McCrea's home is. and
where he IS so well known. While it
is not believed that McCrea will be
asked TO resign or that he would re-
sigh If asked by the directors, 1t has
for some time been known here that
there is more or less friction in the
camp of the Pennsylvania. President
McCrea did intend some time ago to
retire from active work. but since then
matters have come up which tend TO
make him take the bit in his teeth
and sit tight. McCrea's friends say
he will not be pushed off the road by
a minority of the directors, whose
grievances are purely political.
Late last night the Pennsylvania
railroad at Pittsburg took up the New
York story and through C. F. Scott,
assistant vice-president of the Penn
sylvania Lines West. who has been
considered the official mouthpiece
here in times of newspaper need. last
night made the following statement
on the McCrea story: ITO those who
are familiar with railroad workings
the New York story of Mr.. McCrea be-
ing forced TO resign by the directors is
absurd. The tale is that he made a
bad freight deal with the New York
Central. one by which the road is said
to be losing S1.500.000 in freight rates
yearly. Now If such an agreement
has been made IL could have been
made only with the sanction of the
directors, the g. = directors who are
now said TO be Iting to force Mr.
the story, that Mr.. McCrea has not
been able to borrow money as fast as
did Mr.. Cassatt, is absurd also, for IL
has not been long since Mr. McCrea
floated a s40.0OO,OO0 bond issue"
Some time since President McCrea.
in the presence of some of his bank
ing and railroad friends from Pitts
burg, made the statement that he did
not expect to be long in his present
position.
Il will again be a private citizen,
and soon. l will not die in the har-
ness as others have DONE" is the
words he is said to have used. and his
friends at that time took it to mean
that he was about to give up the Penn
sylvania work.

OLD FEUO RENEWED:
THREE ARE DEAD
BIantons and TayIors of Ken
lucky Fight Fatal Battle
Over Election.
REVOLVERS WERE USED.
-TAYLoRS WERE GETTING BEST
OF ARGUMENT OVER CONTEST
ED BALLOT WHEN GUNS WERE
DRAWN-SIx INJURED.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 6.-In a bloody
feudal battle fought yesterday at Lay
man, Harlan county, three people
were killed and six seriously injured.
Those killed are: James Blanton,
Pearl Blanton and Stokeley Osborne.
The wounder are Lee Russell, Mrs.
Laura Blanton, Sherman Blanton,
Richard Blanton, John Taylor and
Taylor Monro. Revolvers were used
in the battle. The trouble grew out Of
a long standing enmity between the
Blantons and Taylors, dating back
generations. The immediate cause of
the breaking out afresh, was a dispute
over the counting of ballots at a
school trustee election. during which
charges of cheating led to the pulling
of weapons. The relatives Of the Tay
lors and Blantons met at Howard's
geenral store and as the Taylors seem
ed to be getting the best Of the dis
pute over contested ballot. the Blan-
tons grew angry. Both sides were
heavily armed. In less than time It
takes to tell, the loaded weapons were
emptied and when the smoke cleared
away three were lying dead and six
were seriously wounded. 1t was the
fierest feudsl battles fought in recent
yo0NA
