SAYS PANIC WAS
OML Y NIGHTMARE
Passage of Rhode Island soIon's Cur
rency Bill Declared to Be Like
|. Giving Medicine After
Cure

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Currency
legislation was the subject of consid-
GRAFTON in the senate today
Senator Hepburn opposed the Aldrich
bill and declared it was useless and
he would not vote for it.
Mr.. Hepburn laid great stress upon
what he declared was the wrong prin-
ciple of allowing security to be used as
basis for emergency circulation. He
declared that only bonds that had the
taxing power back of them should be
used for that purpose.
The passage of the bill now, he said.
was like giving a man medicine after
he had recovered from an Illness. He
said the so-called panic was only
nightmare, and if financiers are given
to understand that they cannot depend
upon government assistance in such
cases they are more apt to conduct
their affairs on sound basis and thus
prevent panics.
Hard to Recall Bill
He took the ground that the result
of the bill might be to supplant the
present currency with the emergency
bills, as the bills once in circulation
could not readily be called back.
. LET us say to those financial Jug
glers," said Mr.. Hepburn, you are not
to have more currency when you have
unlawfully used the money you have
had, nor an elastic currency that shall
be in keeping with your conscience"
He said he had never felt his breast
swell with gratitude toward the f1nan-
ciers in New York who had been given
credit for saving the situation.
Senator Hopkins spoke at length in
support of the currency bill.
Senator Bailey stated he would speak
on the currency bill Monday, and Sem
ator Depew will speak on 1t Friday.
Senator Aldrich of New York said
lie hoped to have vote on the measure
next Wednesday.
After addresses had been made on
the bill TO increase the pay of the army
the senate at p. IN. adjourned

Sings With FervoT.
When he sings-and he has a splendid
voice-he holds his head high and opens
his throat, and enunciates every word
with absolute clearness. Now and then
he sings alone or leads the audience in
the GLORY Song" and then he puts his
every ounce Of energy into the spirit OF
the song. He works up his atmosphere
through the medium of the hymns. max
ing first this and then that side OF the
house sing, now lowering the volume 20

raising his voice 10 a burst Of elo-

audience sings he stretches out his hand
with the hymn book I'm II and says:

A Man of Emotions.
Gypsy Smith. the evangelist. who
opens his washington campaign SAL
urday night. is a man Of emotions and
dramatic periods He knows the value
of carefully built-up situations. and
one OF his points Of strength is that he
rarely produces an anti-climax When
his atmosphere is made. he works alOng
carefully TO his highest appeal. and al
the very moment when ne feels the
deepest interest in his audience, h,
stops abruptly and ends with a prayer
or with the invitation TO the inquiry
room
During the course Of his taIk-fOr h,
does not sermonize-he delivers cpl
grams freely, aimed at the common
weaknesses Of mankind. and he is lib
eral with gesture and pose. the pose.
so perfectly fitted to their allied pic
lures in words that the care Of re
hearsaI is evident Not deliberate re
hearsal. either. but rehearsal Of years
practice-for it would be unfair to sug
gest the mechanics Of oratory in tn
work OF a speaker so spontaneous
You can't do religion on the cheap"
he declares. rising on his toes with
hand held high and his face full o
energy. You can't get good out o
anything into which you put nothing
A lot Of you people would like 10 sneal
into Heaven without a crowd watching
