SALOONS WE'RE CLOSED
Saloon Men Almost Without Exception
Obey the Proclamation of the Mayor

Kenosha had dry day for sure yes
terday for following the order Of
Mayor Scholey, the saloon men of the
city closed up their places and it is
claimed that Notwithstanding the fact
that many of the places were closely
watched not single violation of the
law was reported to the police during
the day. In most cases the saloon men
did not visit their places until just
before the opening time at seven
o clock in the evening. This is the
first day in many years that Kenosha
has been absolutely dry, In former
election times the saloons were sup
posed to be closed, but it was always
possible to get in the side door, but
the saloon men agreed yesterday to re-
main closed in strict compliance with
the law.

THE NEW CURRENCY BILL.

The Senate yesterday passed the new
currency bill, and again the world saw
the unexpected happen. When Senator
AIdrich himself brought forward his
proposal to accept railroad aid muni-
cipal bonds for emergency currency,
the cry went UP that this was nothing
but turning over the government OF
the United states to Wall Street spec
ulators During the last year first
class railroad bonds have fiuctuated
ten or twenty points. Wall Street Is
loaded to the gunwaies with second
class and third-class bonds. il these
bonds can be made basis for govern
ment currency; II the guarantee of the
United States government is to be put
behind money issued against them,
there will be at once u forced market
for securities OF this sort This is Just
exactly what happened in a greater
degree when the natonai bank act was
passed, and the United states govern
ment, by taxing the state banks out OF
existence created an artificial market
for its bonds.
The remarkable part of the whole
transaction is that what Senator AID
rich could not accomplish in the first
instance was simple and successful
matter when the compromise measure
came up. The Times-Dispatch ex-
pressed its qualification at the seeming
return to sanity which the Fowler and
Vreeland bills showed in recognizing
commercial paper as basis for issuing
currency. 1t is true that commercial
paper is to be taken at 10 per cent OF
its market value under the terms OF
the Aldrich Cannon bill, but this is a
small gain when compared with the
dangerous possibilities In this legis-
lation. The time will come when the
Republicans will have to explain the
unenviable position they have made for
themselves by adopting such makeshift
legislation.

LUKE e. WRIGHT.

The apparently authoritative rumor
that Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee. will
succeed William II. Taft as Secretary
of War is distinctly interesting, and on
the whole convincing. Assuming that
some Southern man outside the Repub-
lican party is to be given this place
for reasons of policy, there could hard
ly be more likely choice. General
Wright has already had high honors
from the present Republican admin
istration. His appointments to the gov
ernorship of the Philippines and to the
embassy at Tokyo have long since made
it plain that he Stands in with the
President"
If Mr.. Roosevelt should call General
Wright to his Cabinet, it would prob
ably be straining matters to attribute
that step purely to broad patriotism
which sought out the best man, regard
less of party lines. Such an appoint
ment would be q political move. and
only that Tennesset'is a battle-ground
upon which a hot campaign will be
1OuSht out TINS summer, ana every
little help that may be coaxed from
the Democratic side would be worth
while. Further. it must be remembered
that General Wrights Democracy is
far from being of the extreme variety.
Senator Frazier, OF Tennessee, indeed,
tells The -Dispatch's Washing
: ton correspondent that General Wright
his appearance in Republican Cabi-
net would have upon the vote of Ten
nessee can, therefore. only be guessed
at Senator Frazier argues that it
would have no effect whatever. Wright,
in his opinion, cannot change the re-
suit in single county or State
General Wright's prospective ap-
pontment might mean that he had en-
braced the Republican allegiance, which
would augur a decided strengthening
of Tennessee Republicanism AS a
declared Democrat. he could hardly be
