CENTRAL BANK WAS
TWICE A FAILURE

charles G.. Dawes, president of
=. Central Trust company OF llli-
nois, and former comptroller OF the
Irr;ted States treasury, has placed
.;uself on record as being opposed
;. me Aldrich central bank scheme.
He says:

1T has been stated.as apparently

that such arguments in favor of a
short charter would be even more
certain to prevail now than then.
Then again, as twice before, at
the expiration of the charter, the
country would be exposed to the
hight for and against reCharter.
Whether the charter would win on
tail, the uncertainty preceding de
clSlon, now as then, would prob
ably produce the same general bus
mess disaster.
The economic arguments for
the central bank are not now. Let
anyone interested turn to the old
congressional record, to the mes
SageS to congress of Andrew Jack
son to the addresses of Webster

harassed and anxious fnancier,
Nichols Biddle the third president
of the Second Bank of the United
States, around whom, when he
went to Wall street at the time be
was fighting for the life of the
bank against Jackson, cheering
crowds would gather, SO conf

benefits which the people had re-
ceivcd from the bank, defeat it,

copies of message of Jackson
which was a TRADE against the
bank.
But Jackson was overWhelm-
ingly sustained by the people, and
from that minnie the bank was
doomed. We have it in our power

"M0SES, PRINCE OF EGYPT

Moses, one of the greatest figures
of all history, was rescued from the
river Nile by Thurmutus, the daugh-
ter of Rameses, and adopted by her
when he was three months of age
He was the son of Hebrew slaves,
but was reared in the palace of the
king under the most fortutious cir
cumstances, and there is evidence
that at one time he was considered
the heir to the throne. At the time
when he was found, Thurmutus was
regent of the kingdom in the absence
of her father. There is a pretty
story told of Moses and his child
hood. 1t appears that he was a very
beautiful boy, and that at the age
of three years, ThurmutUs took him
to her father, the king, and placed
him in his arms.
Rameses II. was delighted with the
boy, and it is said that he took the
crown from his head and placed it on
the brow of the boy. At this preco-
cious infant snatched the bapble
from his head and jumping from the
kings arms, trod upon it in child
ish contempt. This was looked upon
with some little trepidation by the
monarch, who recalled the prophe
cies of the Egyptian magicians con-
corning the boy, and also the dreams
that had been told him concerning
the future of the infant. At any rate
the child was educated in all the
learning of the Egyptians Of the time
sent to the schools and colleges,
and was considered one of the bright
est and most Influential men of all
the court. He went to war against
the Philippians, where he was sue
cessful, and returned, to Egypt hero
and one of the greatest men in the
kingdom.
He was forty years of age when he
saw an Egyptian overseer Cypress
ing one of the Hebrews in an in
tolerable manner, and his anger get
ting the best of him, he killed the
oppressor, and buried the body in the
sand. The next day he saw two
Hebrews engaged in a personal en-
counter and he attempted to part
them, and they tainted him with the
killing of the Egyptian, and SO,
knowing that the murder had been
discovered he fled from the court
and Egypt, and went to the land Of
indian, over near the Red Sea, where
he met, and wooed, and won ZippOr
ah, the daughter of Jethro, priest,
and where two sons, Gershom and
Eliezar, were born He remained
forty years in the desert before he
returned to Egypt to free the Jews
from bondage. Moses, Prince Of
Egypt" a drama dealing with the life
of Moses, and more particularly with
his early romantic life, will be pre-
