CHANGE OUR PAPER MONEY

A proposal to make smaller the
size OF our paper money is recelv-
ing favorable consideration at the
hands of Secretary of Treasury Nc
Weigh and along with this change
new designs are to be made In a
way that will give to every note OF
the same denomination the same
portrait. The size of the bills will
be near to that of French paper
money or about a quarter smaller.
Director Ralhow of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing has re-
ported that he has found a chemical
solution or wash in which old and
dirty bills can be made almost as
good and quite as clean as new.
Economy is the main point in both
these proposed plans for the cur
renCy.

GOOD THINGTO BE A SENATOR

Senator Lodge, the good puritan

is certainly a provident sort Of
gentleman, who, by reason OF his
position can cast an anchor to the
windward" and line his pockets
with the long green and then thank
the good Lord for being kind to the
poor. He sold two steamers to the
government for 1900, 900 neither
of which by the way the govern
ment has been able to use IN the
Panama canal work. Ships of the
same size and of British register
have recently been sold at auction
on the Pacific coast of Canada Tor
less than $50, 900, with sham tariff

the ship subsidy steal, our ship
yards having been closed by the
Steal Trust, and the ship sub
sidy is expected to again put those
yards in operation which will be
accomplished if an appropriation
of $40, 900, 900 can be secured and
west will be looted for the benefit
of the trust magnateS In the east.
1t is time the people in the west
were awake to their own interests.

preservation of industrial peace,
whether their holdings are we'll or
ill-got. A wise selhshness on their
part would be a measure of Justice
and enlightenment for the laboring
class.
Sane and simple political, econ
omical thinking is the leaven to de-
velop the bread of life of the re-
public. Push political party to the
rear in your weekly discussions
and readings. Learn to discrlm-
mate while reading the public
press; learn to know that the press
is used in an insidious manner to
deceive the people.
In short, citizen, learn to think
whether you think right or wrong.
But learn to think A little think
ing will tell man that starvation
in the midst of plenty is wrong A
little thinking will inform us that
the monied class governs the ma
ton; and that these governors are
at sea as to the logical method OF
perpetuating their own power or OF
restricting the wholesome power of
the will of the majority, expressed
at the ballot box. 1t will require
much thinking by the people to de-
wise a means by which to escape
the notification of the will of the
people.
Each voter must proceed to dig
for himself in the public press and
government reports and other
sources of information always at
hand, to set himself right for the
duty of voting rightly on all public
questions.

be not diverted from the main is
sues of government. 1t is now
time to begin your thinking for &C

THOUGHTS 6Y THE WAY

Mrs. Anne Besant, the high
priestess of theosophy, informs
an uneasy world, that when we
have attained into the three eyes
and the fourth root, there will be
something doing among the child
ren of men. No doubt Anne; but
| for the present we are satisfied with
two eyes and as to the fourth root
we will await with patience for its
appearing. But to the initiated,
it looks as if Anne was talking thru
her store teeth, to hear the sound
of her own voice in her effort to
scare us by direful predictions.
We learn with keen regret that
William ]. Bryan says, that he is
fixture in Nebraska. He evident
ly has given up all thought of 60
ing to Washington-and, what
would a presidential campaign be
and he not a candidate? 1t is to
be hoped that he will reconsider
the matter, so that the voters can
have some fun with him in 1912;
and possibly elect him and satisfy
his aspirations.
1t is excruciatingly funny to hear
man chuck full of booze, condem-
ming the conditions which makes it
possible for man by sobriety and
industry to live comfortably and he
and his family dress we'll. If one
half the money spent by laboring
men for drink was saved and put
at interest, there would not be a
poor man in this country at the end
of the next thirty years.
Mayor Rose maintains that pro-
hibition hurts the democracy, from
which we infer David, that as soon
as a democrat refrains from the use
of lntoXicants he ceases to be a
democrat. Is that what you are
driving at? But do not be unduly
excited David, there will be hard
shell bourbon democrats long after
we shall have disappeared from
this mortal existence and they will
be chasing phantoms as in the past,
for the reason that they neither
learn nor forget.
1t is said that the Rhode Island
people crowded over and made
room for Senator Aldrich when he
returned home at the end of the
session. He was the biggest man
in the senate and we are surprised
that the state did not tilt up side
wise as soon as he set foot on it.

An eastern prophet predicts that
the world will come to an end Sept.
18th, and just think of it, Presi-

to be at Milwaukee on the 18th and
so many will not have an opportun-
ity to wear those beautiful badges
prepared for that occasion. But
then, we will go right along making
preparations to go to the state fair
and if anything direful happens we
shall not be alone.

the accident and was soon on the

last night and will remain here I'M

drove up in a light spring wagon
and IN the excitement did not hitch
his horses. The animals took fright
at something and bolted down the

into telegraph pole near the COL

SERIOUS RESULTS
Mrs. Henry HeisIer Is Dangerously

| effect that she did not rest we'll last
night, but stands a fair chance of re-
covering without permanent effects
The auto in which Mr. and Mrs
HE'S er were riding turned turtle at
the J4rction of the Blalock and coun-
ty roads between College Place and
this city.
There was no eye witnesses to the
accident, although O. z. Skinner. a
ocal real estate man, and party, had
Just passed the Heisler car and when
about twenty rods ahead, one of the
women in his car looked back and saw
the Heisler machine lying on one side
If the road.

eral feet this side Of the curve the
Skinner car passed them The wo-
man increased ner speed to overtake

slow down for the curve, in the ex-
element, she threw on more speed.
The car shot for the embankment at
he side of the road and When Mrs.
Heisler did succeed in turning the car
he rear wheels skidded over the g.
'oot embankment. If the amateur
river had had the presence of mind

after they had gone over the en-
bankment the most serious injury
would have been a severe shock to
the nervous system, but instead she
tried to steer the car back onto the
road, up the embankment, when the
car turned over
Mr.. Skinner and party were on the
scene a few minutes after the acct
dent and lost no time in extracting

OLD MEN ASSUMING
BURDEN OF TARIFF
Legislators Who Are Taking Foremost
Part In Revision Are Advanced
Far Beyond Years of Military
Retirement.

WASHINGTON. D. c., June Ar
interesting feature Of the tariff legis
lation is the fact that old heads, mos
OF them beyond the age when men are
retired from the army and navy and
by great employers for incapacity due
to their years are doing the real work
They have the sagacity in management
the grasp Of a thousand details and
the strength to withstand a crushing
burden of work, that is usually asso-
Gated with men Of only half their age.
The record that has been made by
these patriarchs enables venerables
generally to point with pride to the
achievements of their kind and makes
4 joke Of Oslerism.
In the house the strongest infu-
ence in the preparation of the tariff
bill was welded by Uncle Joe" Can
non and by Serene E. Payne, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee. Uncle Joe" was pioneering in
Indiana and telling with the mighty
blows of his axe the walnut monarchs
OF the forest when the protective tariff,
mere infant, had barely come to the
notice of man. Uncle joe. who is
one of the big men in this large and
luminous economic proposition, was 70
years of age few days ago Payne is
sc years old and bore without COM
plant or sign of distress the grind
ing work of 16 hours a day for sew
eral months while preparing the clas-
sic array of words and figures to
which Mr.. AIdrich and others are now
doing things in the senate. One of
Payne's exploits was the making OF
two days speech when he submitted
The creation of his labors to the house.
1t is conceded that in the senate,
Mldrich is the dominate influence so
far as the tariff and most other things
are concerned He is 6S years old, and
Senator Hale, of Maine. who is his
chief assistant, has lived 73 years. Ju-
Fus Caesar Burrows. of Michigan,
beading member of the finance COM
inittee which prepared the bill, is -
years of age. Knute Nelson, Of Min
nesota. who is one of the most lusty
opponents Of the measure, is go. There
are several other senators of a ripe
old age who have not been so active in
the work on the bill. but who can be
depended upon by Aldrich to WELD a
strong influence if he needs their help
This galaxy includes Senators Shelby

BREWERS TO REFORM
THE BEER BUSINESS
Convention of the Liquor Interests at
Atlantic City Will Take Steps
to Stem the Tide of
Prohibition.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June l.
| There will be decided reforms in the
! conduct of the liquor business in this
country, to OFFSET the 0nslaughts of the
"drys" if the United States Brewers
| assoc alton has its way. Mambers OF
the association representing about Is
per cent Of the beer business Of the
country are in attendance at the an
nual meeting convened today at the
Hotel Shelburne.
One Of the most interesting reports
before the convention is that of Colonel
Jacob Rupert Jr., who recently made
a tour of investigation through the pro-
hibition states of the South and West.
Commenting on the result of his OBJ
servations, he said:
4 found that the spread of prohibit
ton tendencies in the West and South
is ill-cOnsidered and hasty. Disastrous
results, economical and moral, have
followed in it's wake
NO doubt in the West and South. as
elsewhere, there are Objectionable law
breaking, disorderly saloons and hotels.
These places could have been extermi-
mated by the enforcement of existing
law or by public opinion strongly as
serted, instead of restricting the lib
erty Of entire communities.
Public morality was not improved
What | especially noticed in these dry
states was the inordinate drinking of
liquors in the homes.
