There was not much response to
| Chairman Hall r. Aisthorpe's little
address at the Merchants Luncheon
week ago This lack of response
was evident, not only at the meet
/ ing. bit it has been evident generally
among the people. But it will be
well TO weigh carefully the reasons
for his. Many other matters OF
great Importance have pressed upon
the attention Of the people and it will
have to be admitted that the saloons
of Cairo have not been extensively in
evidence lately-not as much so as
! in the past at any rate And Chair
man Aisthorpc was a little premature
in declaring that the city council had
"sidestepped" the high license propo-
tsition. There is ample time for that
and SO far as can be Judged a ma
iorily of he council fayors a high
! license-auHicientl high to yield The
city ample rcyenue-alsO a proper
| limitation of the number OF saloons.
The mayor promised, at the same
meeting al which Mr.. Aisthorpa
spoke, that such an ordinance would
be introduced and he hoped to have
it passed in ample time TO be effec-
tive next year Il is therefore too
early and not fair to pass judgment
against them on this score.
But let MS not make any mistake
Chairman Aisihorpe was not wholly
wrong in his talk q week ago. On the
contrary. he was very much on the
right track in what was. aud prob
ably was intended to be. the main
basis Of his complaint-the dispos.
ton of some people. and of some
members Of the city council. to leave

candidates in the field and if all go
before the state. it is feared that no

Of the preliminary. Although lay

ton, ignorance and superstition Of the
crowd Of immigrants who are coming to
our shores
He said, a nations strength does not
consist in its wealth, nor exist OF ter
ritory, but in the character Of its cfti-
zens. We must either christianize the
alien population Of this country or they
will heathenize us. The women Of ans
society have been doing the social work
Of the church for twenty-five years"

Aldrich to be Followed by

LATTER WILL ATTACK
The Central Bank Proposition = Win
Speak Wherever Senator Appears.
He Plans Thorough ventila
ton Of the Question.

Washington, Oct. 27.-.Members Of
the Monetary Commission are quite GER
tain Senator Aldrioh will not accept the
invitation OF Representative Charles n.
Fowler Of New Jersey, for a joint de-
bate on the question al to whether a
central bank ought to be established.
The expectation is that Senator Aldfich
will fatty decline the invitation. He
has never pretended to be great de-
batter, although he has engaged ID many
notable debates in the Senate. Mr.. Fow-
ler says that his only object in propos-
ing a joint debate is to get before the
public both sides Of the central bank
proposition.
A declination on the part Of Senator
Aldrich to meet Mr.. Fowler in debate
vii not interfere with the New Jersey
congressman's programme to have the
central bank proposition thoroughly dis
cussed. Mr. Fowler has made up his
mind definitely to follow Senator Aldrich
into the central west next month He
plans to make speech opposing the
central bank proposition in every city
in which the chairman Of the Monetary
Commission appears. He has received
many invitations to discuss the central
bank question, and bis itinary mar take
him to good many cities that Senator
Aldrich win not be able to visit.
