TWO WEEKS DEBATE LIKELY
ALDRICH FINANCIAL BILL TO
BE REPORTED TOMORROW.
Democratic Opposition to the Meas
ure Probably Will Be
Protracted.

The Aldrich financial bill. which is to b.
reported to the Senate tomorrow. will be
taken up for debate about February 10,
and kept steadily before the Senate as the
unfinished business until it is disposed of.
Senator Aldrich. who will engineer the
measure, has made careful survey OF
the situation as regards probable debate
and is of the opinion that not more than
two weeks will be consumed in discussing
the measure. Senator's who have init
mated that they will make remarks con-
cerning the bill have been urged to pre-
pare their speeches as soon as possible IN
order that there may be but little lost
time while the bill is before the Senate.
The announcement of the attitude of
Mr.. Bryan concerning the Aldrich bill
maze during his recent visit to the Capitol
is taken as an indication that democratic
opposition TO the measure will not be
long drawn out. There will be an attempt
to have United States government notes
substituted for bank notes in the bill. but
the contention will not extend much
farther. The conference of democratic
senators on Saturday last developed a
policy against any measure but one of an
emergency nature and there has been a
tacit understanding among the minority
that proposed radical financial remedies
will have to be brushed aside for the
present.
The proposition of Senator Owen. pro-
viding for the insurance of bank de-
posits, has plenty of opponents among
the democrats. and it will not be debated
TO any great extent.
Senator .Aidrich has sent request TO
the interstate commerce commission for
an opinion to railroad bonds as Sc
curity for bank-note issues to be deter
mined on the data already in the hands
cured through the operation of the new
interstate commerce law.

The most unusual incident of applaud
ing the prayer of the chaplain occurred
in the House of Representatives today.
The chaplain barely had finished when
handclapning and laughter were heard
from various directions. The prayer
ran:

Thee, from the jingo. the denagogue, the
bigot and all other undesirable citizens.
and give us instead the patriot. the
statesman. the broad-minded. generous
hearted, manly man, .hat Thy Kingdom

as il i'll heaven. for ChriSt's sake.

SOMETIMES IT is WISE TO DREAM.

Harvest time is the season when life
overfows, when Nature who has given
but promise of herself in spring time,
fulfls her mission in the richness of
her fruitage.
The grain is cut and garnered, but
there are grapes to ripen and the sun
still lends his warmth. The bees,
their task almost over, hum drowsily,
grasshoppers and crickets chirp in a
subdued monotone For an instant
earth lies still and basks in September
sunshine; life is so full it spells CON
tentment
We know there is a winter coming,
that ere long the leaves must fall, that
nights will grow long, and the soft
winds chill and bracing, and that we,
too, will wake and rouse and start out
again with renewed vigor to win our
fight
But now just for space, while the
winds are warm, and the toll of spring
sees its just reward, while the trees
still are laden, let us rest with the dy-
ing summer For life is not only ac-
tion. Sometimes it is we'll to rest and
dream. And the long hours of quiet
under blue skies where only the song
of birds breaks the stiffness, mellow
and soften the thoughts of the past.
For the doubts and perplexities of the
year that has gone, the thousand little
worries that have obscured our clearer
vision, yield place to the bigger, truer
concepts that they have for the time
hidden. And in their light we dream,
and the time is not wasted, for the
dreams and hopes and inspirations that
come when we pause with the earth tC
await for her harvest are but the rip
ened and mellowed thought of the past

about the place, one of his friends re-
marked:

wonder you don't have some animals
about as is usual on a farm. Some
cows, for instance, so as to have your

horse, worn out and old, deserted by

ngersoII On the Attitude Of Capt.
tai and Labor to Each Other

The following extract from lecture
on the labor question delivered by the
late Robert G.. Ingersoll is intensely
interesting and furnish much food for
thought:
Invention has filled the world with
competitors, not only of laborers but
of mechanics of the highest
skill Today the ordinary laborer is,
for the most part, peg in a wheel.
He works with the tireless-he feeds
the Unsuitable. When the monster
stops the man Is out of employment
out of bread He has not saved any
thing. The machine that he fed was
not feeding him, was not working for
him. Toe invention was not for his
benefit. The other day heard a man
say that it was almost impossible for
thousands of good mechanics to get
employment and that, in his Judge
ment the government ought to furnish
work for the people; few minutes aft
ter we heard another say that he was
selling a patent for cutting out clothes
that one of the machines could do the
work of twenty tailors, and that the
week before he had sold to great
house in New York and that over for
ty cutters had been discharged. On
every side men are being discharged
and machines are being invented to
take their places. When the great fac
tory shuts down the workers who in
habited it and gave it life as thoughts
do the brain, go away and it stands
there like an empty skull A few
workmen, by the force of habit, gath
or about the closed doors and broken
windows and talk about distress, the
price of food and the coming winter.
They are convinced that they have not
had their share of what their labor
created; they feel certain that the
machines inside were not their friends;
they look at the mansion of the en-
ployer and think of the PLACES >.Where
