AND THE POOR MAN.

The spoilsmen and machine poll
ticians who are denouncing Governor
Hughes as a bigot and fanatic who
wishes to force his personal notions
on his party are not likely to welcome
evidence OF his willingness to profit
! ly really sound criticism. He is cam
paigning for his direct primary bill,
which is TO be introduced and scor-
ing victory after victory. But when
real flaw is pointed out in that bill
or in the average primary act. he
pauses and considers possible i'm
lprovements.
The argument that direct primaries
place the poor, busy conscientious
man at a disadvantage compared TO
the rich officeseeker or the tool OF
| special interests, and that the neccs-
sity OF making and financing two
fights must inevitably discourage fit
men, has impressed Governor Hughes.
He has accordingly declared himself
to be in favor "of limiting the amount
Of money which a candidate for nomi-
nation or for election may spend. =
He believes in political methods or
machinery which would give the
poor man, the man who is busy earn,
ing a living for himself and family
and competence for his old age, an
equal chance with the rich man.
Fnf pI.r ,,Ai
corrupt practice act. 1t would be
easy to amend it by adding to its pub
licity features a limitation of eXpendi-
lures for the respective offices AMI
extending its relevant provisions to
primary elections, Ii the antis are
sincere in their profound sympathy
with poor but fit men they win co.
operate with the governor in passing
his bill as amended to meet their oh.
iections.
In Indiana, where there have been
complaints from business men against
the too expensive machinery of direct
primaries, in Ohio. in Illinois and
elsewhere the limitation of expendi-
lures either in the compaign for a
nomination or in that for election
ought to receive consideration. The
sophists and the hypocrites will find
all sorts of new arguments and objec-
tons to direct nominations, but that
certainly need not deter the friends
of truly representative government
from meeting occasional objections
Of weight and force.-Record-H Herald,

THE CURRENCY
TO BE SUGGESTED BY CURRENCY
COMMISSION I'M REPORT

CENTRAL BANK IDEA

Currency Makes New
Order.

Washington, Sept. 26.-ln some
thing less than five years-to be eX-
act, on June 30, 1914-the Aldrich-
Vreeland financial act viii expire by
| limitation, and unless before that date
lit is replaced by a wisely-framed
measure Of broad scope, the country
will again be in the perilous situation
that is commonly believed to have re-
suited in the panic of 1907-0S. There
is a general realization OF the neces-
sity of legislation on this subject but
wide difference of opinion as to
form. Speaker Cannon believes that
more extension of the law, with
perhaps a few amendments in details
will suffice President Taft looks with
favor upon the proposition to create
a great Central Bank and there are
all sorts of intermediate schemes.
Probably that which commands the
greatest support win be based upon
the recommendation Of the Monetary
Commission which has been quietly
but effectively at work for more than
a year gathering the material for the
construction OF the actual legislation.
A campaign of education is about
to begin for it is fully understood by
Senator Aldrich. who heads the Com
mission and by the students Of
finance, that it will be difficult to
arouse the interest of the mass of the
people in the details of this rather
abtruse subject. and that only by
general agitation can the National
Legislature be brought to the point
of action II it required ten years TO
bring about a revision of the tariff,
certainly a period of less than five
years is none too long to perfect and
enact legislation on a subject so
complex and important as is involved
in a general revision Of the entire
financial system OF the republic.
Therefore soon after the return to
America from Europe of Senator AID
rich and Professor Andrews and 9th
err members of the COMMISSION, which
is expected to be about the middle of
next month. preparations will be made
for the publication Of the preliminary
report of the commission, and it IS

FOR TAFT AND DIAZ.

The. expenditure of $4,000 which
will be entailed by the meeting Of
Presidents Taft and Diaz near Ell

to greet Mr. Taft at ElPaso Mr.. TAFT

Though nominally created with the
purpose of dealing only with the sub
jeet OF currency and the bond issues
on which the latter is based in large
part, the commission has enlarged its
scope so as TO include the national
banking system and it is believed
that even the state banks will be dealt
with in the forthcoming report. The
projected Great Central Bank will be
fully exploited, for there is reason to
believe that even in banking circles
considerable misrepresentation exists
as to the functions of this institution.
Based on the history of the operations
of the old United States Bank, de-
stroyed by Andrew Jackson, appre-
hension exists among the officials of
national and state banks that this
Central Bank may trench upon their
busienss and be a formidable Compel
itor so this phase of the matter will be
fully dealt with by the commission.
The most substantial objection that
has been advanced against that pro-
ject is based upon a doubt whether
one central institution would be suf-
ficiently responsive to emergency de-
mands from some distant section of
the country, and the suggested cor
rected measure, looking to the crea-
ton of branches of the Central Bank
has only strengthened the fear of the
government is to enter the field Of
existing banks that the United States
competition with them.
ComptroIler's Recent Order.
Recent action by Mr. Murray, the
comptroller OF the currency, involving
the assumption of absolute response
biliN by bank directors for every
part OF the banks business: guarding
against loans without proper security
to directors and requiring the closest
cooperation between the national and
state bank examiners in the inspec
tions of the operations Of the banks
have resulted, it is believed, in bring
ing these institutions into a much
higher state of efficiency and placing
them on a sounder business basis
than they have ever before enjoye
and the comptroller IS fully convinced
that with public confidence in the
banks fully restored there is no reas-
on to apprehend any struggle or com
petition for business between the M
tional and state banks on the one
hand and the government Central
Bank on tho other.

Old Nen Moralizes.

George W. Neff of the Lake Crystal
Union is responsible for this: eff the
editor makes a mistake folks say he
ought to be hung; but if doctor
makes a mistake he buries them and
the people dasn't say nothing because
doctors can read and write Latin.
When an editor makes mistake there
is law suits, and swearing and a big
fuss; but if a doctor makes mistake
there is a funeral, cut flowers and a
perfect silence. A doctor can use a
word a mile long without him or any
one else knowing what it means; but if
the editor uses one he has to spell it.
If the doctor goes to see another man s
wife be charges for the visit; but if
the editor should 60 he gets a charge
of buckshot."

She Served the Brute Right.

In St. Paul the other evening a
long-suffering wife turned the tables
on her brutal husband. he came
home in a state of beastly intoxica-
ton, knocked her down, seized her by
the hair and dragged her around the
room. Finally he swore he would
finish her and commenced shooting at
her with a revolver. The wife man
aged to get to her feet and extinguish
the light; then she ran to a bureau
and secured a revolver. A pistol duel
ensued in the dark. The cowardly sot
of a husband, when he found his wife
was bound to protect herself, crawled
from the room on his knees and es-
capped. It is thought that he was
severely injured. Anyhow, he has
not been seen since. The policeman
on the beat, when he heard the story
of the shooting, refused to arrest the
woman. Any woman who is forced to
live with a drunken brute should pro-
vide herself with revolver and learn
to shoot straight. The beast in human
form who maltreats a woman is en-.
titled to no more consideration than a
mad dog.

A Never-Failing Sign,

"The Lounger" has an interesting
column of good reading in the
Bricelyn Sentinel each week, and he is
responsible for this:
And, have you not noticed that the
man, farmer and townsman alike, who
is kind and thoughtful toward his
horse, his COW and other dumb
animals in his care is usually the
prosperous man? If you were in a
strange place and noticed farmer
drive into town, behind good, fat
team, and stopping for few moments
to trade, carefully covers them with
blankets neatly bnckled around
neck and girth, would you not at once
put that man down as successful
farmer? If you did, you would be
right, nine times out of ten. One man
can take scrub colt and by kind
treatment and good care, make fine
horse of him, while another man may
take a blooded colt and by neglect
and abuse make scrub horse of it.
The thoughtful man makes money on
his stock while the careless man loses
and tells you there's no money in
stock raising.

Tho Tariff a Local Issue.

Tho Tariff a Local Issue.
In 1880, when Gen. Hancock was 3
candidate for the presidency on the
democratic, ticket he said the tariff
question was a local issue, and he was
ridiculed from one end of the country
to the other. But the general spoke
the truth. II IS generally supposed
that Minnesota farmers are in favor
of free trade, but over in <Chisago
county there is bunch of farmers
who believe in retaining the Is cents
per bushel duty on potatoes and even
favor 20 per cent increase, as witness
the following resolution which was
unanimously adopted and forwarded
to Hon. F. G. Stevens, member of
congress from the fourth district:
Whereas, The American farmer
needs protection against importers of
foodstuffs from foreign countries in
order to obtain a just and fair COM
pensation for his labor in the pro-
duction of such foodstuffs, and
reasonable profit on capital invested
in land and such other investments as
are necessary in carrying on and till
ing the farm. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the members here
assembled, representing the Chisago
County Union, No. 107, American
Society of Equity, Minnesota, respect
fully petition the Member of Congress,
18th Congressional district, Minnesota,
the Hon. F. G. Stevens, to use all
honorable means in having retained
the present rate of duty on potatoes,
and if possible advance it five (5)
cents per bushel over and above the
prevailing rate.
