one of the most conservative and
leading banking institutions of
the east takes up the matter of
a better and more comprehensive
currency system. The writer
says in part as follows: GA
movement of decided Importance
has been started by the advo-
Gates of currency reform. So
general has been the response
of the people to the benefits
conferred by the so-called Al
drich plan for currency reform
that it has been decided to in
augurate a national campaign in
the effort to interest business
men in the necessity Of providing
a thoroughly uptodate bank and
currency system for the United
States. There is reason to believe
that this movement will succeed
and that within a year or two the
United States will be operating
under currency system which
will embrace most of the best
features represented by the old
er countries Of Europe
And there you are. The cam
paign for the Aldrich scheme has
started and the eastern inter-
ests" are for it, just as predicted
in the Examiner but a few weeks
ago.
In former issplc Of the Exam
iner in which we reproduced the
three first paragraphs of the
proposed measure, it appears to
be the purpose to merge the
national banking corporations of
the country, of which there are
now some seven thousand three
hundred in number, into one cor
porate unit for a specific pur-
pose. In other words, to es-
tablish what would be called a
Banking Trust, and, under Col.
Roosevelt's classification of
Trusts, we have no means Of
knowing whether it will be a
good trust or bad trust. 1t is
said that a corporation has no
conscience, no moral sensibility
enabling it to determine between
right and wrong, yet it is pro-
posed that Congress exercise it's
sovereign power to bring into e1-
istance a corporation of corpor-
ations, commonly called trust,
and clothe it with a judicial
function to determine the quan-
tity and quality Of the nations
currency issues required to car
ry on the industrial and = com
mercial enterprises of the coun-
try, by vesting it with a monop-
oily of the note issuing function.
While we are free to admit
that the plan submitted by Sen
ator Aldrich may be a decided
improvement over our present
quixotic system, and very likely
would be, yet we believe that
better results could be obtained
without resorting to such undue
concentration Of corporate cap
ital.
The mobilization of the abnor-
NAL accretion of unlimited capi-
tai, the wealth of very few in
dividuals, is not calculated to
soothe the disquiet now prevail
ing society. Our judiciary have
more than once frowned upon the
oppressive exercise Of the despOt-
ic power acquired through COM
binations Of vast capital organ
lied under the sanction of legis-
lative enactments.
It is only few years ago since
the supreme court of the Unit
ed States stamped it's disapprov-
al Of the merger of corporations
into a trust unit. The Northern
Securities Company was con-
structed along precisely the same
line and for the identical purpose
(the monopoly Of the particular
business in which it was engag-

A few weeks ago the supreme
court of the United States issued
a decree that the Standard Oil
Company was a corporation in
restraint of trade and must be
dissolved.
This week comes the statement
from the supreme court that the
tobacco trust must also dissolve.
Vigorous prosecution is being
made against several others of
the mammoth trusts of this coun-
try.
What does it all mean-and in
such hurry?
Well, if you will open your his
tory of present activities in this
nation, you will find that the
democratic party is in control of
the house of representatives, and
that the house is not controlled
by the interests. The house
is doing things for the people
putting reforms "up" to the re-
publican senate and the republi-
can administration-and raising
cain generally with previous pub
lie ideas that Wall street con-
trolls this nation.
1t means that the administra-
tion has had to wake up and do
something to keep alive. It means
that laws must be inforced or
the administration will die at the
next election. 1t means that the
public will not stand for inaction
any longer at the hands of repub-
licans, now that the democrats
have shown what they can do for
the people with a little power,
and what they would do if sue
cessful at the next election.

poses to construct his banking
trust, and though the same prin-
ciple of public policy is involved,
in the two eases, the supreme
court could not declare the pro-
posed banking trust an illegal
combination if it derived it's ex-
istance and powers from the fed
eral Congress.
Here is the only real difference
between the two propositions:
The Northern Securities Company
derived it's corporate existence
and powers from the State of
New Jersey and the Supreme
Court held it to be an unlawful
combination, in the case of the
State of Minnesota vs. Northern
Securities Company, while the
proposed banking trust, in re-
ceiving it's franchise from Con-
gress would be immune from any
interference by the Courts on
account of it's deriving its au-
thority from the Sovereign. The
States and the people count for
naught, since, under fifty years

self an absolute Sovereign, freed
from any obligation to respect
any of the delegated or restric-
tive powers contained in that an
tiquated old instrument called
the Constitution of the United
States, and no longer ago than
April 10, a resolution was intro
duced into the lower House with
the evident purpose of having
that Document officially declared
obsolete, as it has been obsolete
:, in fact for half a century.
We may comment on the ques-
tionable wisdom of Congress
chartering an experiment for a
term of fifty years, in future
issue of the Examiner, quoting
precedents against giving such
long term franchise.

In pursuance Of his policy Of
reappointing men who have
"made good" in public positions
Governor Hay has appointed H.
A. Fairchild as member of the
new public utilities commission.
The other two members Of the
state railroad commission, j. G.
Lawrence and Jesse S. Jones do
not have to be reappointed, as
the law provided for their re-
tention as members of the COM
mission. Mr.. Fairchild's present
commission expires on June 8,
the day on which the new law
goes into effect, and his new
appointment will take effect June
9, and will expire June 8, 1917.
The new public utilities com.
mission takes the place Of the
former railroad commission, and
will have charge of all matters
relating to public utilities in the
state. The members of the COM
mission as above named are men
Of proved worth to the public
welfare of this state. They have
done things. They long ago
passed the figurehead stage, and
the present state commission is
now recognized as one of the
best and most efficient in the
state.

Losing Ground

insurgency in the republican party
is gradually losing ground as the
republican voters awake TO the fact
that the next president will either
be a republican without any hy-
phen In the name or a democrat.
Nebraska and Kansas. two of the
strongest insurgent states. have
recently spoken on the subject. In
Nebraska the state republican con-
vention unequivocally endorsed Taft
and his administration. and the en-
tire republican state ticket was
elected. In Kansas an election was
held on the regular election date in
the second congressional district
and the insurgent republican nom
inee was defeated by the democrat.
In the seventh district republi-
can primary was held on the 18th
of November. This is the strongest
insurgent district OF the state where
the regulars have not for years even
dared TO make a fight. The insur-
gents nominated Hopkins. lieuten-
ant governor of the state and

TUT MI
 From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The revival of "Pinafore" and the re- vjgal of "A Country Girl' in New York brings back to the stage two examples of good light musical entertainment and raises a question. If the Gilbert and Sullivan operas are popular whenever they are well presented, and if so high-classed q musical comedy as "A Country Girl' is popular enough to warrant a revival nearly ten years after it paid large royal ties in England and America, Is it true that the vilainous taste of the public is responsible for meretricious musical comt dy with a little of the flavor of 1 buriesque and a little of the flavor of the three ringed circus, plus dash of some- thing suggesting continuous vaudeville? Tha: the public will have none of it if 1t is better is the producers excuse for the run-of-factory musical show that is often tuneless, toneless, pointless and depends upon a rich "senic investi- ture," as the press agents say, a large supply of half-clad show girls and "broil- ers' and a budget of smutty jokes and songs to attract the crowd. But the rubiic liked immensely the few good com ie oIeras that lourished when Gilbert anG Sullivan were actively engaged in writing them. The public delighted in
 Dolly Varden," which to borrow it's l lyfies, was "as fragrant as an English garden" The public liked prodigiously an l innocent musical comedy of some merit called Babes in Toyland." The public show ed a decided penchant for ''The Girl and the Kaiser which was one of last years cleanest and highest class musical shows" with a logical plot, a pretty love story and no unceanness in line or situation.
 But it is difficult to write good comic efeiss Humor is rare and it is pre- requisite to the writing of comic lines and Iollicking lyrics. Talent is rare and 1 il IS required when good popular music | is 10 be written. But it Is comparatively | easy to sorrow from somebody's score, somebody's vaudeville turn" somebody's g eire'Is, somebody s stable of ponies" and E." adway's galaxy Of iunoesque show giils. who will show what the law allows for s2J a week. So it is not hard to make a musical comedy that will enter tain those who like to leave their brains at home when seeking pleasure and those who have none to leave. Perhaps 1t is not the unpopularity of good comic opera, Out the rarity of ability to write it that makes it less commonly offered than lovers of something a little better than run~of factory would like. Would not new operas as good as those written by Gill bert and Sullivan, and new musical com edes as musical and bright and whole come Dolly Warden" do as well to- day ns they ever did? If not why should il be believed that revival of "Pinafore' CT X Country Girl" would be paying venture?

Presidential Candidates

T was in Baltimore last week and found the people there very enthusiastic over the prospect of capturing the dem ecratic convention for 1912," said F. F.. Tanner of Chicago "I have never been active in political affairs, but have been a regular democratic voter since 1888, and am looking forward to next year with great interest. n.
 Governor Harmon of Ohio has been my choice for the democratic nomination. Some of my friends who are more fa- mil'ar with politics than I am tell me that while Harmon is strong he is not strong enough to be nominated. The same thing they say is true of Woodrow Will son. Governor Marshall of Indiana is developing considerable strength, and his friends think he will be chosen as stand ard bearer. Of course, everybody is fa- mliar with the names of Harmon, Wilson and Marshall, to say nothing of four or five ether prominent democrats. Oscar Underwood. who has come to the front recently, is beginning to be talked about as a possible candidate for the presi- dential nomination. AS Underwood rep resents the Birmingham district it goes without saying that the people of Bir- ningbsm and all Alabama are proud of his congressional leadership. President Taft may be his own successor, but the democrats are more united now than they were four years ago, and with a strong ticket I believe we can win'
