KANSAS CITY. Mo. Nov. 12.- When Speaker Champ Clark, Gov W. R. Stubbs of Kansas. Senator Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode Island. Gov Her bert s. Hadley of Missouri, and few other of the nations men of note take the floor at the Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress, which meets in Kansas City, November 14 to 17, there will be enough interest in what they have to say to the people of the west to warrant listening
 For the officials of the congress have uttered the word that no one will be allowed to read his opinions from a paper. No. every man who accepts an invitation to address this congress must be a wide awake one, and able to flow his thoughts directly from his tongues end. This ruling while par ticularly cheering to the four thousand delegates who will attend the congress. IS wiser still. for it will improve the interest of debate a hundredfold
 And mighty questions will be prob ably finally settled before the congress
 
 ed by the delegates assembled at these congresses sound the keynote of feel ing in the west that the lawmakers in the east may act accordingly. And aI- ways in the twenty-five years that the congress has debated and resoluted the national legislators have needed the keynote. Through this body's influ- ence millions of dollars have been ap- propriated by congress for retaining land. both by irrigation projects and drainage canals. The existence of the Postal banking system is due largely to the efforts of the Trans Mississippi. Through the endeavors of this body rivers have been improved into nav igable streams. and scores of other useful and beneficial things have been accomplished.
 But this year the congress has two things to deal with, each of them of colossal importance. The one-cur- rency reform is of national import. the other of local interest-the western rivers improvement appropriation.
 The former has to do with Senator Aldrichs proposed banking bill which
 
 tenn controlling one national reserve fund ready. and guaranteeing to rem der the country panic proof and at the same time. to open up for use the mi;- lions of dollars stored in the separate banks as reserve funds
 The west is an important factor in the nation. and the commercial inter- ests of the west are not to be unno- ticed So far no definite expression has come from the west on the AL drich bill. largely. perhaps. because the west has had no opportunity of studying it. It is almost impossible to comprehend it's technicalities by perusal of the bill. Thorough under standing of the bill requires language. and Senator ldrich has agreed to champion in person the merits of his pet measure. Senator La Toilette. who has studied the currency question also. is expected to be here and be heard on the other side.
 In order to fully impress the rivers and harbOrs committee with the need of improvements a special trip will be mad down the river to St. Louis in d rect Oi lOuI VESSELS.
