Grip Germs From Mars?

Interpolated in his predictions for
February, John c.. Busby, a weather
prophet of independence, Ia, advances
theory to explain the presence Of the
grip germ. The native habitat Of the
germ, he says, is the planet Mars,
which is now very near to the earth.
and the germs have leaped through the
intervening space. He believes that
Mars is Inhabited by human beings

Good Story Teller.

Senator Knox tells many good sto-
ries, and the beauty Of them is that
they still have the dew of youth upon
their brow. This may be due to sense
Of discrimination in Knox or it may be
owing to the fact that Chauncey M.
Depew and Leslie NJ. Shaw have used
up all the old stories
The following is Knox's Philadelphia
turtle tale:
A man stood before a restaurant
where three large turtles were dis
played. One hand was in his mouth,
but with the other he was poking at
the turtles.
Here said the proprietor, keep
away from there or you will get hurt"

Plan Proposed For Making Friends of
All Nations-Younssters Of Japan
and America to Begin Movement
That 1t Is Hoped May End Wars

A movement for International peace
was recently launched at Stamford
Conn.,, by Wilson L. Gill, Ii. D., presi-
dent of the American Patriotic league,
in which President Roosevelt, former
President Cleveland and many other
prominent men are interested and the
offices Of which are at30 EastTwentieth

the Spanish war Mr.. Gill was general
supervisor OF moral and civic training
in the public schools of Cuba under
commission from the United States.
Briefly the plan is to esta ablish cor
respondence between children of the
public schools in the United States and
the school children in foreign countries,
with the idea of making them better
acquainted. 1t is proposed first to make
the experiment with the school chill,

fessor Makayama will indorse the cor

tional work of Japan upon whom he
may rely. He has no doubt of the fu-
ture of the movement begun in STAN

who has given it enthusiastic indorse-
ment is Ernesto Nelson Of COS West
One Hundred and Fifteenth street,
New York city, special commissioner
Of education for the Argentine Repub-
lie.
Mr.. Gill says difference in languages
will not be insurmountable.
''The movement is political rather
than educational" said Mr.. Gill the
other night, land believe it is one Of
the greatest political movements ever
launched. The people Of Japan are
ranking under the belief that they
were deprived of the fruits Of their
war with Russia by interference of the
United States in bringing that war to
an end. The Japanese government is
friendly, but the government is repre-
sentative, and the people may change
its officers at any time.
1.-THE only safety. then, is to make
the Japanese people realize that we
are their friends; that we desire to be
friendly with them and expect the
same treatment from them. We hope
to get that friendship established by
correspondence between the children
Of the two nations. If we can make
the children Of the two nations friends
1t is safe to say there will be no war
so far as Japan and the United States
are concerned"

Education on the Currency
philadelphia Press.)

When Chairman Fowler, of the
House Committee on Banking and
Currency, proposes a Commission on
the Currency to report to the next
Congress, he really proposes more
popular education
This is plainly needed. No one plan
has a majority vote in Congress or
in the country. The Senate passed
the Aldrich bill because every man
sees the necessity for an emergency
currency, and bonds Of some sort
remain the basis for currency in
which a majority of conservative men
in the Senate believe. Even the House
Committee, in the Vreeland sub
stitute, does not propose to aban-
don bonds as a basis of altogether.
The alterations made in the Aid
rich bill still leave State and munich
pal bonds as security for currency
Commercial paper or assets, how
ever, grow on the public as security
for currency. Commercial paper
backed u per cent. of the Clearing
House certificates issued in New
York The banks of the country faV-
or this security for currency. 1t has
an increasing strength in Congress,
though it could not today command a
majority in either branch.
A Conference Committee will fin
ally decide the form of the Aldrich
bill When it energies it will be
closer to its original form than it is
now. 1t furnishes an emergency cur
rency we'll secured, and this is need
ed.
But public education on the curren-
cy is also needed, and a Currency
Commission, such as Mr.. Fowler pro-
poses, will give this and postpone
various veXed currency issues until
after the Presidential election.

ViscOUnt John Morley
philadelphia Ledger

The appearance of John Morley in
the House of Lords which he and
the leaders of his party have so often
in late years denounced with ringing
vehemence, will be a notable event,
He has accepted the viscOuntcy which
the King offered him, and becomes a
British peer. None will say that he
does not deserve this distinguished
honor in a land where hereditary tit
les are given as the rewards Of ser
vice. His acute and brilliant studies
of the 18th century in France, his
researches in English history and
philosophical and literary studies,
aside from his political labors as a
Liberal, constitute a fitting recipient
of a peerage.
But if Mr. Morley had declined the
tempting corOnet he would have
only followed in the footsteps of
Sir Robert Peel and of his own politi-
cal tutor and personal friend, Mr..
Gladstone At any time in the last
twenty years of his life Gladstone
could have passed from the
House of Commons to the House Of
Lords if he had intimated the desire.
More than once the Queen urged a
peerage upon him In 1885 she Of
fered him an earldom in the most cor
dial language, but Gladstone made
his humble apology" to her majesty
by saying that in the terms of her
kind letter he already had all that
could recommend an earIdOm to
him" 1t had, he continued, never
| formed part Of his views to enter the
historic chamber" Mr. GladstOne's
last speech in Parliament in 1894
at the age of IS was prophetic of the
abolition of the House of Lords. 1t
was a vigorous assault. The old
hereditary chamber had succeeded in
defeating the will of "an assembly ell
| ected by the votes of more than g.
100000 people," and he was ready
| to lead his party in the campaign for
a reform which now for several years
| it has steadfastly advocated.
Mr. Morley has not been at variance
with the Liberals on this issue. In
his admirable Life of Gladstone he
wrote:
"A hereditary legislature in a com
munity that has reached the self-gOv-
| eminent stage is in anarchronism that
makes the easiest of all marks for
mockery and attack so long as it
| lasts" (Volume III, page 1919
But these words may be forgotten,
and probably they have been or will
soon be by Mr.. Morley, Some even
think that his acceptance of the honor
indicates a change of front by the
whole Liberal party on the question
of the House of Lords. Time will tell
J this, and meanwhile Great Britain
will have another Liberal Lord
terms ir-reconciliable in the minds
| of Americans.

Joe Browns Pastor Speaks for Him
dublin Times.)

In order to ascertain whether or
not Mr.. Joseph NJ Brown is as bad a
man as some of his opponents were
trying to make it appear, a gen
tleman of Valdosta wrote to Rev
John E. White, of the Second Bap-
fist church, of Atlanta, to find out
something about him. DR.. White
reply makes interesting reading and
is as follows:
MY Dear Sir: | am in receipt OF
your letter of the 10th inst, making
inquiry of me as the pastor of the
Second Baptist Church, Atlanta, con-
corning Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, ac-
companied by the statement that re-
ports are being circulated in your
county to the effect that he is an i'm
moral man and whiskey man.
do not feel that | should hesitate g
moment in answering your letter
with frankness. Such reports about
Mr.. Brown are utterly false. He is
member of the Second Baptist
church, Atlanta, not only in ordinary
good standing, but in the particular
high esteem of all who know him
He is a modest earnest, unOstenta-
tious Christian No breath of i'm
morality or wrong-doing has ever, sc
far as [ have heard or so far as the
people of the Second Baptist church
have heard, been attached to his
name He is the largest individual
contributor to missions in the Second
Baptist church and has been fol
many years, although his residence
was in Marietta, Ga. Only very re-
Gently he joined with our church here
in a handsome contribution to the
Mercer endowment fund. Mr.
Browns record on the prohibition
question is we'll known in Fulton
county He has never been identi-
fled with the whiskey people. In the
first prohibition campaign in Fulton
county he stood with Henry Grady
and DR. Hawthorne in their cam
paign. DR.. Hawthorne is my author
ity for this fact, and many others
identified with the leadership Of
that campaign on the prohibition side
Peculiar significance was attached tC
his stand because of the fact that he
was going against his father and 9th
er members of his family in obedience
to his personal convictions that pro
hibition was right.
Il am also in possession of the in
formation that he has always steadi
ly refused to rent his private person
a property for saloon purposes in At
lanta, although he owned property
constantly in demand for such pur-
poses at a very much higher rate Of
rental.
PERSONALLY, l believe from what
know of Mr.. Browns character, con
duct and convictions that the inter.
9sts of prohibition can be safely trust
ed to his hands OF any other issue
in the campaign [ have nothing tt
say. l am merely DESTROYS in an
swer to your letter that the false re,
ports which you say are being cir
culated concerning Mr.. Brown may
have a positive denial from his pas
tor. I am sincerely yours,
John E. White"
