CONDEMNS ALDRiCH BILL.

And now comes the local commercial
club with a resolution cOndemning
the Aldrich currency measure, showing
that the business men of Richmond are
of the same mind with business men
the country over, they do not want
makeshift currency measures. That has
been our chief complaint against the
Aldrich measure. 1t is entirely make
shift and admitted to be such by the
republican leaders of both senate and
house, who however, seek to justify
their advocacy of the measure by de-
claring that the people are demanding
action of some kind relative to the
currency question and that the Aldrich
bill should be passed in order that the
republican party can go before the
country at the next election with a
currency measure to its credit. We
do not agree with this way Of looking
at the question, believing that our
currency system is too intricate and
far too important to be settled off
hand for campaign purposes.
The senate has already passed the
Aldrich bill and it is now up to the
house. In this case the business men
of the country have to rely upon the
good sense of the members of the low
err house to lose sight of the party cry
and act in the best interests of the
whole country by refusing to pass the
Aldrich bill in any form. Speaker
Cannon is credited with being very
much in favor of the Aldrich measure,
and it is stated he will use all his pow
err to secure it's passage through the
house. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that party lines will not be drawn, so
that enough republican members can
be secured to defeat the bill. If this
can not be done we hope the desired
result will be attained by insurgents
from the republican side OF the house.
No republican member need fear re-
belling against a caucus that decides
in favor of the bill, as tho majority of
his constituents will be right behind
him in his efforts to aid in defeating
this pernicious measure

The fact that" the Indiana Women's
prison is now receiving inmates is

rotary Of the state board of charities
The new penal institution was thrown
open in February and now has seven
teen inmates. These are from the
various counties Of the state and are
of the class that heretofore have been
sentenced to county jails. Their in
generation in an institution managed
solely by women and in which they are
employed at some helpful kind of work
is proving a great forward step. Mr..
Butler says:
The institution occupies the quar-
tiers vacated last summer by the 1ndi-

Washington, April S-The death to-

forth far more than the ordinary eX-

WORD FROM HOME
POWER ON CONGRESS
Temperance Legislation Is
One of Things Demanded
Of Legislative Body.
QUESTION is FAR REACHING
1T MAY BE MADE A NATIONAL
ONE AND PRACTICALLY ALL DE-
PENDS ON THE ACTION OF CON-
GRESS THIS SESSION.

Washington, April S.-The temper
ance question will not down in con-
gress. week ago the liquor interests
were. confident they had won their
fight to prevent legislation OF any
sort at this session inimiCal to their
business. Today they see indications
which lead them to fear the temper
ance forces will get about all they ask
for before the session ends. 1t Is the
word from home that is bringing
about the change. Both senators and
representatives are receiving letters
from constituents saying that unless
they take their stand with the tenn
perance forces they will be punished
in the coming campaign.
Members of the house of represent
tatives who are candidates for re-elec-
ton are particularly solicitOus about
the outlook. Without being told by
their constituents they know some
thing of the temperance wave that is
sweeping over the country and they
do not want to be caught on the wrong
side Senators who are up for re-elec-
| ton have received warnings that
members of state legislatures are to
be chosen this year with special ref
erence to the liquor traffic and that If
they expect re-ele ction they must take
care not to stand with the unpopular
! side in this battle.
National Question.
1.-The indications are that more pub
| lie men will go up or down on the tenn
| perance question next fall than on any
other one question that will enter into
| the campaign. 1t will not be surpris-
| ing if the question becomes national
| in its aspect during the coming cam
paign. Whether it shall pass from a
the action of congress at this session.
The temperance forces, led by the anti
saloon league, are ready to make it a
national issue if that shall become ne
cessary.
The situation is this: The move
ment for stricter temperance laws is
making Roadway everywhere. In
some states it is taking the form of
| prohibition; in others it is for local
option, high license or eliminating by
remonstrance. The dry territory is
being widened in scope month by
month. The larger the dry" area be
comes the more plainly stands out the
| fact that the states can not meet with
full measure of success SO long as
| the federal government nullifies the
work of the states. Under existing
| federal law no state can create. abso
lutely dry territory, because liquor
may be shipped into this territory
from another state with impunity. l
is also impossible to make state OF
any part of a state dry" as long as
the federal government will issue {
permit to a person to sell intoXicantE
in the territory which local govern
ment says shall be dry
Different This Year.
So it is that the temperance force:
are asking that these two condition!
be RENE died They do not expect tt
get both evils cured at this session o
! congress. They do insist that leeis
| lation shall be enacted at this session
which will give a state some measur,
of control over interstate shipment
