The occasion was regarded as of es-
pecial Importance because it brought
out the first explanation by Mr.. AID
rich of the plans of an organization
which has been formed for the avowed
purpose of reforming the financial sys-
tenn of the country. and the character
of the company was quite in keeping
with the dignity of the event. President
Theodore w. Robinson of the CONNER
cial club presided and introduced Sen
ator Aldrich.
Aldrich's Address.
The senator said in part:
ct is my purpose tonight to call the
attention of the bankers and business
men of Chicago to some of the more
salient features of the work of the ma
tional monetary commission. The ques-
lions committed to it are so vast and
involve so many collateral issues, that
my statement must necessarily be frag-
mentary and incomplete. The import
ance of the task of finding legislative
remedies for the defects and weaknesses
of our currency and monetary systems
cannot be overestin ated. The indus
trial and; commercial development of the
country, the healthy growth of its
banking facilities in fact the continued
march of national progress and pros
perity, which all hope for, will be either
greatly accelerated or retarded by the
wisdom, or unwisdom of the action
which may be taken looking to a So
luton of the problems submitted to the
commission.
I'VE EXPECT to be able to give to the
public within a comparatively short
time the fullest information with ref
erence to the experience and practical
methods of other countries and of our
own. This investigation will be the most
complete and comprehensive with ref
erence to these subjects that has eve-
been taken.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Topeka People Should Learn to De-
tect the Approach of Kidney
Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
So unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by sensation Of scalding.
The back aches constantly, headaches
and diszzy spells may occur and the
victim is often weighed down by a feel
ing of languor and fatigue. Neglect
these warnings and there is danger of
dropsy, Brights disease, or diabetes.
Any one of these symptoms is warnin g
enough to begin treating the kidneys
at once. Delay often proves fatal.

Financial Controversies.
Controversies over note-issues and
banking methods are as ancient as
banks. They have in the past been
carried on mainly by professional
writer's and theorists and have been
as inconclusive in their character as
they have been numerous. Practical
men of affairs often, have not always
agreed as to the true theory and best
practice in banking. At all times
when monetary questions are agitat-
ed or discussed a familiar class of
.cranks and demagogues, hanging
bout the outskirts of every public
discussion. appear, swift to prade their
,, views and wares in the public gaze
for Standardization. To secure sat
isfactory results in the end it is evil
dent that we must all lay aside our
prejudiceS, our preconceived notions,
perhaps our predisposition to advocate
certain methods, but with a fixed de-
termination to finally agree upon some
plan-probably not one that any of
us may deem the best in all of its de-
tails, but one which will fairly repre-
sent the combined wisdom of all.'
Mr.. Aldrich appealed earnestly to
all those who believe that reform leg
islation is necessary to withhold their
final judgment until the whole case in
all of it's phases can be presented to
them.
"Our investigation, contemplating
as it does, an ultimate, thorough and
scientific treatment of the whole sub
ject, is naturally Invisible into two i'm
portant branches-frst, with refer
ence to note issues; second, with ref
erence to the organization of credit or
the requirements of our banking sys-

Mr.. Aldrici1 said he now regarded
an efficient organization of the credit
and banking system of the country as
much more important than the ques-
ton Of note issue. He continued:
Note Issues.

in the past, notably during the last

Blow at Spoils.

Reno, New. Nov. s.-What has been a
matter of conjecture as to the attitude of
Senator Newlands towards the proposed
water power contract between W. P.
Harmon and the government was dis
closed in the senator's address before the
senatorial committee on irrigation.
He distinctly warned the people of Ne
vada to be on the alert that their rights
as consumers-to-be of electrical power
were not infringed a a result of the con-
tract under consideration by the president
between the Harmon water power people
and the government affecting Lake Tahoe
and the waters of Nevada.
Senator NewIandS said the reclamation
act was the first blow at the spoils sys-
tenn of division of government money and
that the conservation policy of the gov
eminent was directed to developing lands,
waters. mines and forests beyond the pow
er of monopoly. 1t might be best, he said,
to affirm the Harmon contract, but If it
was to be affirmed a tribunal sitting as
a public service commission should under
the sanction Of both state and national
governments. take in hand the matter of
regulating charges.

Utica, N. Y. Nov S.-The tele-

and the officials say the system out

The system was installed on the Della
