THE ,nEELAND MEASURE.

The agreement by the republican members of the house of representa- lives on tho Nreeland currency bill to provide for an emergency issue of notes in a time of panic has revealed d sharp division of opinion between Mir. Vrccland of New York and Mir Fowler of Now Jersey It hal been thought by many that an agreement on q currency measure would not be reached before this session came to close, but evidently 1t has been felt that something must be done in leg islative way on the currency ques- ton. Representative Fowler who Is rency committee. evidently feels keen ly the fact that he was ignored by the special committee of five who had the task of preparing the bill "The com mittec hasn't taken me into its con hdence, said Mir. Fowler, when inter- viewed in the matter.
 The interesting probability is en- tertaned by those who think a fight may be made to prevent the enact mcnt of the bill into law, that the in- dependents in the house may secure the leadership of Congressman Fow- Ter in affecting union with the dem ocrats. This remains to be SC an. It will be necessary to gain some re- publican support.
 The provision of the bill. adopted as party measure, which calls for the appointment of a currency commis- sion is too limited according to the view of Congressman Fowler, and it Is expected that fight will b. made against the purpose, as it is believed, of the special committee to favor q commission composed of senate and house members. Mir Fowler Is under stood to favor a commission broader than this to include such expert opin ion as will result in scientific reor- ganization of the banking and 'urren- cy system. It is likely that this will eventually be done, The general in- dustrial expansion and the newer leg
 slative interest in industrial ,nstltu- tions of rapidly changing character 1 will demand just such reconstruction rather than the patching up of the older system.
 By the Vreeland measure 1t is pro- vided that emergency circulation au- | thorized is to be based on any securi- ties, including commercial paper, held | by a national bank among its assets. | This is a feature that requires care full protection Even the best com mercial paper, regarded as safe se- curity by most banks, Is liable to de- preciation from numerous causes.

Enforcement of license legislation Is desirable and important. but 1t is a work which properly devolves on the local authorities.

 Cardinal Logue, primatc of Ireland, who fig In this country to attend tho recent Catholic celebration in New York. has given his interesting opln- ion on the situation as follows: If of two evils 1 were to choose the loss, 1 would prefer Mormon polygamy, where several wives are taken Al once. to progressive polygamy as practiccd by divorced people who rcmarry.
