A CENTRAL BANK.

The Caucasian has received a cir
cular on the proposed adoption OF
plan of banking and currency reform
that will enable banks in all parts OF
The country to secure at equal rates
and on equal terms the money neces-
sary for the legitimate business re-
quirements Of their communities.
This is an attractive scheme.
1t is claimed that "the farmer" is
vitality interested in this plan, or
should be, as il will provide for him
a better credit system, presumably II
he has the collateral or the where
with to secure loan should he need
IT,
The Central Bank scheme as de-
vised by Aldfieh, may be allurlng to
the bankers and financiers,. but
should not be favored by the farmer
nor the toilers nor what is termed
The common people.
II there should be a concentration
of money, let it be vested in the au-
fhority of the Federal Government
TO issue all The currency needed, re-
deemable in gold or silver when de-
manded by the holder of the cur
rency- paper money.
In France panic in money is inn
possible for the reason that should
there be an attempt to control the
currency by speculations or schemes
as in New York. the government
would Immediately check it, and If
need be issue enough of the currency
to check and oyerwhelm the panic,
The monetary system should be
simplifled instead of being burdened
with complications which can be
manipulated in the interests of mon
eyed men-the money sharks Of New
York and other great centers of this
Nation.

MANY LIVES LOST.
Train Plunges Through Bridge
Into a River.

A truin plunged through bridge
into the river Thouet, near Sauuluri
France. About 100 passengers were
on the train The river was ssol!eI
and this weakened the bridge.
Many OF the passengers who saved
themselves by getting out OF the cars
through the windows tried 10 escape .
watery fate by clinging to the tops o.
trees which showed above the water
10 most cases, however, they were
quickly washed away by the rushing
currents
Every boat in the locality was car
ried off by inundation, so it was i'm
possible for the people of the vicinity
TO do much rescue work.
Three of the cars were submergef
and the top of the fourth was barely
visible.
Death list is over 30.

hours of hard work in subduing fire

was injured and the good work of the
firemen kept the fire damage confined
to the roof and two upper stories.
One woman and several men were
carried down or escaped by ladders.
which were quickly raised by firemen.
Among these were J. w. Fowlmar and
wife OF Bbtte. Mont, both of whom
we're rescued as they we're all but suf.
located. A ladder was raised to the
fourth fieor, where they we're. Fire
man Charles Dixon carried the lady
down the ladder and Fireman o. w.
