STEPS TOWARD CURRENCY reform.

The announcement made by Senator Aldrich
regarding the plans and purposes of the Ma
tional Monetary Commission. subcommittee OF
which is now on its way abroad, should set at
rest the report that 1t is the intention OF the
commission merely to perfect the Aldrich-
Vreeland law. Mr.. Aldrich said 1t was not ex-
pected that this act would be final or perma-
nent 1T WILL he remarked, undoubtedly be
superseded in time by legislation establishing
comprehensive monetary system." Nothing less
is wanted The Aldrich- Vreeland act was con-
fessedly makeshift, and TO perfect 1t would
be TO leave this country almost as far behind the
great commercial nations Of Europe In the
adaptability of its currency to the tuctuatin2
needs of trade as 1t now Is If the sub-commit-
tee comes back from Europe impressed with the
safety and utility of the banknote systems Of
say, Germany or France, or Of Canada when 1t
visits our northern neighbor, 1t will be able to
undertake q comprehensive reform Of the cur
rency that will be upon the right principle.
Meanwhile the intention of the New York
| Merchants Association to keep UP its agitation
for credit currency is commendable. The dis
cussiOn in Congress last winter resulted in con-
siderable public education upon the currency
question but the people have still much to learn
before such an intelligent public opinion can
exist as will be the best guarantee of good legis-
lation. With the public Indifferent or unin-
to half way measures compromises TO suit vari-
Gus shades Of opinion. The commercial bodies
throughout the country the natural leaders
in such an educational movement Their mo-
tives are beyond suspicion. The currency sup
DIV affects them all alike and affects them as 1t
does business in general. The banks may be
regarded as having different interests from those
of the rest of the community, but the interests
of the commercial associations are the interests
Of merchants and manufacturers, of trade in
general and since employment depends upon the
stability and prosperity of trade they may speak
| for the interests of all.
| If the Monetary Commission comes back from
it's foreign Investigations with the right ideas
upon currency reform, it Will need an intelli-
gent public opinion to support ii. If it does
not return impressed with the feasibility and
utility of credit currency then all the more
will the solution of the currency question de-
pend upon the existence of well informed and
active public opinion.

he+xxean such pIaces as Jersey City and Newark
and such as Atlantic City. In the former the
law breaking is done chiefly to meet the ae-
mands of the permanent local population, "hie
IN tbe latter If is for the sake Of catering to
more or less transient visitors. we DO not
know that from the purely legal point or view
there is much if any difference between the TWO
in culpablity, though we should think tnat NOR
ally and socially the effects of the law breaking
MIGHT be worse in the former case than in the
latter.
The attitude of the municipal authorities and,
indeed, of the people of Atlantic City Is spe-
cfally noteworthy, The Mayor, Common Council,
County Judge Sheriff. chief of police and others
were not surprised increduleus or shocked Mt
the revelations of the commission. They were
apparently quite familiar with the prevailing
state of affairs. They seem to regard II us
something which is inevitable and necessary
The people of the place, both permanent resi-
dents and transient guests, want 1t TO be
wide open town" The visitors who flock
thither bv scores of thousands for day Or for
the season. want to be able to get any kind OF
drinks at any time. They would not go there II
they could not do And the people VINO 1--we
there permanently want the same thing In order
that visitors may be attracted thither and the
city thus be made prosperous. That is the the
orv. at any rate. OF those who uphold or wink
welfare Of the place depends upon the mainte-
nance of conditions which are contrary TO the
law of the state SO widely does this idea pre-
vail 1t is said, that it is impossible to get juries
of citizens to convict of offences against the
excise law. no matter how plainly their guilt
may be prored.
Beyond doubt the excise question Mt such
place as Atlantic City, Asbury Park, or any
large seaside resort is quite different in some of
its aspects from that in rural village or even
in city Of fixed population. 1t is not at all
clear however that law breaking Is more to be
condoned in the one than In the other. Per
haps the case presents an argument for local
option so that each community can make It's
own excise laws, at least within certain limits
though the argument is by no means conclusive
and though 1t is by no means certain that ma
ioritv of the permanent residents of Atlantic
CITY would vote for an "open town" What is
indisputaby clear. however Is that in thus In
yestigating conditions in all sorts of places and
reporting authoritatively upon them this excise
commission is doing work of great and really
indispensable value for the enlightenment and
guidance of the state government in the further
making or revision of the excise laws 1t will
be found that in insisting upon the appointment
Of this commission. in the face Of bitter Oppos-
ton, Governor Fort performed one of the most
profitable services which have been rendered TO
the state for many years.

From The Utica Press.
If PIatt were boss he would not like Hughes any
better the rest of them do but he would
swallow the bitter pill and. smiling. that a
unanimous denomination would be in order. and
it would come TO pass. Instead, those who assume
be state managers are encouraging various sec
tions to put favOrite into the field 10
complicate the situation much as possible and
make the Hughes denomination correspondlngly
difficult This they think is shrewd politics, where
as, as a matter of fact, failure to renominate
Hughes Is equivalent to issuing engraved cards 10
the Democrats to come in and take possession OF
the next administration.
