Especial to the Silver State.)

out in Kansas, the home of advanced
political ideas, comes book on "PrO-
gressive Government, which aims to
tell how to settle business problems
now before the country. 1t advocates
municipal banks and condemns the
Aldrich plan for central bank.
The author sees nothing but evil in
the Aldrich plan. He says:
cit is claimed, and with proof to
back the statement, that the national
banks through their organizations, are
going to attempt by force, to enact the
Aldrich bill into Law, and that the
means to be employed to force this
measure through congress and upon the
people, will be the withdrawal of the
currency fom the channels of trade,
forcing the collection of debt, impair
ing credit, and thereby depreciate the
value of the property of the people by
hundreds of millions of dollars; and it
remains to be seen whether the people
will be intimdated by these threats of
disaster, or, whether they will call this
bluff of the banks and fight it out,
by putting the banks out of business
and establishing government banking,
which is the only true basis that will
insure permanent and lasting prosperi-
ty to the people for all times.
Moving Picutres Abroad.
Consuls report that badly edited
moving picture films in foreign coun-
tries sometimes cause ridicule and Of
ten are misunderstood. An American
film in Malta showed a cowboy and In
dian scene of intrigue, deception and
fighting. The Indians were in the ira
ditional Indian costume and the cow
boys wore their costume rather exag-
gerated for the occasion. The label of
the film stated that this picture had
been taken in the United States and
that the actors wore the American ma
tional costume.
Another similar case is cited of a
scene of holdup in the "cow coun-
try in which several men were kill
ed. followed by chase on horseback,
and lot of shooting. 1t had as a
subtitle the statement that tins was an
event in regular life in America.
Modified Milk.
A Washington firm makes a special
ty of selling milk containing special
proportions of fat or other ingredi
ents, ON physicians prescriptions. 1t
gets 20 cents per quart for milk con-
tanning per cent of fat and up to 25
cents per half pint for cream contain
ing 20 per cent of fat. Just plain
table milk costs 10 cents a pint, and
heavy cream is 60 cents a pint.
/" Modified milk put up on physi-
clans prescriptions is Is cents a pint.
Naturally, this institution is not call
ed dairy, but laboratory.
Quiet Washington.
The day after congress had adjourn
ed Washington sank at once into its
regular summer slumber. There was
hardly sign of life by the 100000
people left in the city. They seemed
ia fall asleep as if that were their
natural state. And at the White
house. there was somnolence which
exceeded that in the surrounding vii
lage. For the president had gone to
Beverly and the policeman at the door
seldom had to arouse himself sufficient
ly to answer a query.
Indians at the Fair.
Probably there is not boy IN
America who would not give up his
summer vacttion in order to attend the
Panama California exposition at San
Diego in 1915 to see the Indians that
will be encamped there. On the bills
this will be designated as an anthro-
biological exhibit or something with a
high sounding scientific title like that;
but the boy will know that it refers
to the biggest collection of real In
dians from every land and cine that
was ever brought together. They will
look as fierce and untamed as If they
had never seen the palefaces in the
aseendeney, but only the boy will
know that they are as savage as they
look and that they may break out of
their reservations at any time and
slay, burn and plunder.
The exposition management is max
ing most extensive plans to get to-
gether representatives of every tribe
of Indians on the American continent.
Those now extinct, like the Incas, the
Toltecs. the Aztecs and the Mesa and
Cliff Dwellers of Arizona, will be rep
resented by restorations of their fam
ed dwelling places or collections of
their implements and utensils. In all
of this work the national museum is
expected to render invaluable assist
ance. for the government scientists
have made exhaustive studies of the
aboriginees and their mode of life.
Director General ID. G.. Collier, wrile in
Washington, brought the matter to the
attention of the museum and expects
favorable action.
Climate as an Asset.
1t has been said by weather ex-
perts that the climate of San Diego
is the finest in the world. Whether it
is or not, those who have enjoyed it at
all seasons know that it is good enough
to warrant keeping the Panama-Cal
ifornia exposition open for the full
year, instead of for only six months o.
has been the invariable custom fc
such expositions. Strangers who visi
San Diego appreciate better than ~
peonle of that city do themse'v WI"
an invaluable asset such climate is
" will in fact, be one of the best ex-
hitits to he seen at the exposition; but
there will be plenty of others, and
many which have never been seen at
anv other exposition that was ever
held.
A Floral Fair.
