CURRENCY REFORMS,

NDoStOl IlOUe.)
This country will have full conf.
dence In Secretary MacVeagh's dec,
laratlon that the United States would
be freer from panics If our monetary
system was improved. The system
should be panic.preventing, as Mr..
MacVeagh says, and it Is the duty OF
the government to decide whether or
not We shall have disastrous financial
disturbances in the future.
There IS need also for merchant
marine and foreign banks of our own
II we are to become what Mr.. Mac.
Veagh terms "a full.fledged CONNER.
cial nation" Consular reports prove
that our foreign commerce in South
America and other places, where Ger.
many and Great Britain are building
up trade, is very slight because, I'm.
like those countries. we have no ships
or banking facilities there.
Until our present monetary system
is changed and strengthened we shall
be at great disadvantage so far as
commercial expansion is concerned.
The delay in this matter Is enabling
other enterprsing nations to enter
commercial fields that are practically
closed to us now.-

A FAMILY SMOKE.

A Kansas City Judge ruled that a
wife had a right to smoke in her
home. 90
No longer the Whit surreptitious
is solace for madam or maid;
She needn't be cloaking
Her fugitive smoking
With water OF violets sprayed.
The scent that was darby delicious,
Sweet ashes OF underthe.rase-
Is truly intenser
When nicotine's censor
Is swung in the family's nose.
True household democracy this is
When, after the dinner is through
She doesn't object to
My puffy perfecto,
Because she is smoking one too.
No need OF the labor OF kisses
When little spark.gods we invoke;
true laplhl greeting
Is found in the meeting.
OF passionate circles Of smoke.
. Yes. comrades at last we are truly,
Each bearing the fellowship sign.
The staining that fingers
On tips Of her fingers
LIZ An makes them as yellow as mine,
no longer she lectures me cooly,f IL
And bids me Hayanas to shun.
For Cupid is claiming
Two hearts that Ore flaming
At least they are smoking at one!

IN THE NAME OF PEACE,

Peace on earth and to men goodwill
Hark. how the herald angels sing,
But bark to the voices loud and shril
AS the guns in battle chorus ring
Lo! at the Bethlehem shrine they
kneel
In the salm, sweet light Of the
peaceful star,
While the earth resounds with the
clamoring steel
In the camps of the gathering hosts
OF war.
Peace on earth and to men goodwill
Christians the tidings OF Joy pro
claim, o.
But the Temple of Janus is open still
Mutely proclaiming the Christians
shame: 1'E
And the toll OF the Christians brair
and hands
Pays toll'and tribute-oh, wretchet
price!- "
And the golden harvests of Christian
LANDS
Are offered there in a sacrifice.
Peace on earth and to men good wiz
Unto the world Is a Saviour born,
But the nations are arming to main
and kill.
Nor stay the sword for the nata
morn.
With land and anthem is glorlned
His name who bid all wars to cease
While armies and navies are multi
piled
The crime Of the age in the name o.
Peace.

THE MODERN FARMER.
(Omaha Bee.)

The farmer OF today Is no more
like his progenitor than is the modern
city man like the troglodyte. With
his soil testing and his seed testing,
his knowledge of chemistry and bac.
ter'ology his gasoline engines and
electric appliances, his automobiles
and his telephones, the farmer of to.
day is more truly scientific manufac.
turer than many Of the men who are
the heads Of institutions filed with
intricate machinery. =
The modern farmer plants and reaps
with an cxactitude Of purpose and a
certainty of result that admits of no
dispute. He breeds his grains and
grasses. his fruits and flowers, Just
as he breeds his farm animals, and
with the sole purpose OF continually
Improving the strain, increasing the
yield and advancing the general re.
suit.
If the farmers position and import.
ance to society abs been misunder.
stood by the poor city toller It is not
the farmers fault. It is time, how.
ever. for the city man to wake up 10
an understanding realization of the
fact that the farmer Of today is a
scientific gentleman Of such quality
that he rightly holds HIS position fair.
