SAVING AND SPENDING.

In connection with the establishment
of savings banks in schools Boston
school principal with practical ideas
maintains that instead of adding to the
number of institutions designed TO
teach pupils how to save, the state
ought to give instruction how to spend.
Granted that a sense Of saving is a
good thing, it must be admitted that a
system Of spending should be instilled;
otherwise the savings might quickly be
wasted. To teach a child how to save
$40 in a toy bank, only perhaps to
spend it foolishly later. avails little
Both saving and proper spending are
necessary to a proper understanding Of
getting along in life.
Thrift implies not only a saying quail
ity, but an ability to hold that which
one acquires by saving. There is q
homely old saying among old-fashioned
Germans that any fool knows how to
make money, and even how to save it,
but it takes a shrewd fellow to know
how to spend it properly. In this sense
the Boston pedagogue is right.-Wash-
ingtOn Herald.

FLAWS PICKED OUT
IN ALDR|CH PLAN
Senators and House Mem.
bers Declare Scheme is
Centralized Power.

Senator Aldrich's plan of currency re-
form is not destined to get far. accord
ing to present indications about the
Capitol.
It is so far showing no signs Of being
popular with Congress or satisfactory
to the national monetary commission
That any report that comes from the
monetary commission will be much
different from the Aldrich plan is the
belief expressed by those in close touch
with the sentiments of the commission
The feature of Senator Aldrich's plan
that is being most sharply objected to
is that the control Of the so-called
Reserve Association of America could
be centered in few hands. At least.
this is charged and charged strongly by
the critics OF the plan. They maintain
It is a most ingenious scheme for en-
abling the big banks to control the
so-called Reserve Association of Amer
lea, which is, to most intents and pur-
poses, a central bank. The final control
Of the association or bank rests with an
executive committee of nine members.
The banks would have five of these and
the Government would have four. 1t is
objected that the control of this vast
monetary power ought not be in the
hands of the banking interests, but in
the hands of the Government itself.
Senator Aldrich's plan Is not exciting
the attention that II would excite about
the Capitol were financial legislation
believed to be imminent But the feel
ing is that II is something that can be
deferred, and there is no hurry about
1t is likely that next session, more
will be heard of the matter.

Gentlemen:
81 am a reader of the --- Weekly
and notice they give you a great deal
of criticism of late.
when they first began to criticise you
7 became somewhat interested and be-
gan to wonder what your Grape-Nuts
breakfast food was like and as my
curiosity got the best of me, I bought a
package and l liked it so we'll have used
several packages. And to my surprise I
find 1 am gaining in weight and feeling
fine
Since using Grape-Nuts have talked
with several people about them and they
all think as do, that they are the best
breakfast food on the market today.
so in this case a knock is a boost
with those who use Grape-Nuts."
Respectfully,

NEW DEMOCRATIC
MEMBERS ANXIOUS

I predict that he will be voted down with,
out any difficulty.
| The real show Of strength of the two
| factions within the party will come
| when Representative Fitzgerald makes
his fight against the entire scheme in
volving the appointment of a commit
tee on committees. Fitzgerald's friends
recognize that he is batting for a lost
cause, but he will make the fight new
ertheless and will be supported by sew
eral who wish to retain the present
| order of things and give Champ Clark
the privilege Of appointing the commit
tees.
So far as Mr.. Clark himself is con-
cerned, he will have no difficulty in
getting the caucus nomination for
Speaker. Indications this afternoon
were that the nomination would be
made by reclamation.
1t also was expected that Oscar I'm
derwood would be named as chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee
without much trouble.
Leaders Prepared.
That the Democratic leaders are pre-
pared to put through their program re-
gardless of the wishes or demands of
the new members was indicated this
afternoon. when the leaders got together
and adopted what they term ''an order
of procedure by which the caucus will
be guided tonight. In other words, the
leaders have determined that certain
specific matters shall be discussed by
the caucus tonight. and that no one will
be permitted to take up subjects which
are not included in this order of pro-
cedure. The leaders recognize that such
9 program will give rise to the cry Of
gag rule, but they are prepared TO put
their plan through. This action may
precipitate an old-fashioned Democratic
row AS at present agreed upon by the
leaders, the first order OF business will
be the selection of caucus chairman
to succeed Representative Henry Clay
ton, of Alabama.
Representative James Hay of Virginia,
who formerly held the place. has been
decided upon for this position. 1mme-
diately after Mr.. Hay has been chosen,
motion to adopt the order OF pro-
cedure will be made, and the leaders
predict that they will have enough
votes TO insure its adoption, notWith-
standing the opposition which is sure to
come from the new members who want
to be heard.
Then to Name Clark.
Then will follow the nomination by
acclamation of Champ Clark to be
Speaker Of the next House. The cleo
tion of a chairman and members of the
WAYS and Means Committee. and the
comforting of the power Of a Committee
on Committees to the Ways and Means
Committee will follow in the order
named.
There is some difference of opinion as
to whether the caucus should express
itself on the tariff. but the present plan
is to adjourn the caucus without per-
hitting an expression of opinion as to
whether the tariff should be revised en-
bloc or schedule by schedule.
