SOLID OPPOSITION.

At the hearing yesterday before
the House Committee on Banking and
Currency, it came out very clearly that
the solid and stable bankers of the
country are teetotally opposed 90 the
Aldrich bill, or anything like t. There
was a strong array of bankers and
others at the hearing, and they were
of one mind.
The talk now is that there IS need
of the passage of some kind OF cur
rency bill on account Of the politics in
1t. Worse and worse. Awhile ago we
were told that ii was necessary to pass
a currency bill in order to prevent an
other panic. Now the necessity is
political The plain truth Is that there
is no necessity. either precauti )nary
or political for the passage Of any
such bill as has been concocted st,this
session. What is needed is n COM
prehensive, honest and wise measure
that the country can bank o., not
bill that will cheer and encourage
spectators and financial pirates. Give
us a currency commission, md then
let that commission give us a bill that
we can feel safe with.

GOOD AND NEEDED WORK,

Some may have thought that various
societies, based on the fact that an
cestors of their members took part
In the American Revolution, are more
ornamental than useful, but at least
one of them can point to work that
is decidedly useful. The Sons of the
American Revolution was the first pa
triotic organization in this country to
issue Yiddish literature, and its cir
cular entitled "The United States is
attracting much attention in Europe,
where 1t has been received by relatives
Of immigrants to whom 1t was given
when they landed in this country. The
little document contains a definition of
Liberty and much practical nforma-
ton and says. in part: THE person
who leaves the land in which he was
born and goes to another to make his
home wants to learn the truth about
number of things To give such in
formation this is printed not by the
government nor by any set of men who
are interested in awaiting themselves Of
your labor, or seeking 10 get your
money. but by a society which has for
its object the teaching to all of a love
of their adopted country" The docu-
ment has been printed also In Italian,
Polish, German and Hungarian, and
about one million copies have been
printed
This is work that is needed, and will
do something to offset the work Of sons
that are neither honest nor patriotic in
their appeals to those who are think
ing of emigratng to this country.

PROMISING CHILDREN.

That the children are inclined to be

interest the children Of New Haven
have taken in cleaning up the city, 1t
is also indicated by the way they have

Rice, who is trying to suppress UNI

one hospital there were noted from
$3.50 to 6 IN the afternoon no less than
seventeen outbreaks of noises by chill
dren which seriously affected the sick,

pealed directly to the children. They

square deal which Is designed not for
the protection Of white men but for
the protection Of all mon white, black
and yellow, As Senator Foraker put
It on the floor of the senate; THEY
ask no favor because they are negroes
but only for justice because they are
men, 1t Is because the President has
pcrslstently, IL not stubbornly, refused
to bulge an inch in behalf of these sol
dlers that color Is given the analyaa-
ton Of his character which declares
that he Is not man OF thought
though one Of action. 1t Is not out of
place to say that If he is the Theodore
Roosevelt as outlined In his emphatic
appeals for higher standard OF In
dividual conduct the Foraker speech
gives him the ehanc to prove 1t, His
failure to do or say something cannot
help embarrassing his friends In their
Interpretation of his real character.
It will doubtless be observed by the
reader that we have scrupulously ig-
nored the secretary Of war In this con-
nection. We have done so because we
have not the slightest reason to believe
that he had anything to do with the
discharge Of the brave Twenty-tifth
regiment. If our memory serves us
right he was in New Haven at the time
the order of discharge was promulgat-
ed impulslvely and fltfully. Mr.. Taft
has said in his public speeches that he
was not in agreement in every particu-
lar with his chief, and we are bold
enough to conclude that this is one OF
the cases which finds them in disagree
ment. The manner in which the regl-
ment was discharged is exactly the
manner in which William II. Taft has
never acted in public or private life.
