ALABAMA ON BANKING REFORM

the other candidates will see this and Will be disposed to moderate their state ments on banking and curerncy as conl- pared with what otherwise might have been put forward. Undoubtedly the ten Gency has been to look to William Jen- rings Bryan for inspiration in this mat ter and to steer very clear of anything in regard to banking and currency that could possibly irritate the Nebraska politician Mr. Underwood's action, therefore, is of very great importance not only for it's own sake, but because of the psychologist cal effect it will have in foscussing the attention of the business public and in convincing the community that it must do something to support man who offers g pledge on banking at a time when other candidates are either sighting the sub ject or are committing themselves to ex- trene and even insane notions.
 Underwood's Record
 MT. underwoods record during the past session of Congress has been very clear cut on the currency and banking ques- ton. He was opposed at the start to the money trust inquiry, not because ne did not want an investigation, but because of the shape that had been given to the subject by so-called progressive republ- cans who apparently had not the re- lnotest conception of banking principle, and who were bitter in their opposition to all existing conditions as we'll as to rational methods of reform. Later on, when Bryan democrats were misled into taking up the progressive scheme. MT. Underwood stood firmly for Keeping the investigation out of the hands of the ex- tremists and political schemers and for putting it into the hands of the regularly organized committees, which would be like ly to deal with it in more sincere and effective manner. This attitude caused an immense amount of controversy and denunciation in caucus, but was sue cessful in attaining it's object, the final vote being overwhelmingly in favor of the Underwood plan. All this shows the indisposition of the chairman of the ways and means committee to engage in po- litical attack upon the banks: at the same time it shows his entire willingness to have the subject of banking and the need for legislation, as well as the really ex- isting evils. carefully inquired into. The plank in the Underwood platform is of the same moderate description as the course which MT. Underwood himself nas followed, and it is probable that whateyer he does in the future will be shaped along the, same lines. An interesting feature of the situation is that as this plank has now gone into the Alabama platform. it will bind MT. Underwood no matter whether it is accepted at Baltimore or not. He will. of course continue chair man of the ways and means committee no matter what happens at the polls in November, and this strongly suggests that a banking bill may be taken up during the coming short session of Congress. That Is the view of some currency e. formers i nthe Senate also. H. r. w.

 The Palace of Blessedness.-Mat tthev v. 1-12.
 Text: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."-Verse s.
 Of the Great Teacher we read, "He spake as never man spalxe." He was the Man Christ Jesus, but He was not a fallen man, not a sinner. His life was transferred from an heavenly to an earth ly condition; hence, as a man, He was holy, harmless, undefled and separate from sinners"
 The eight beatitudes illustrate the diff ference between the teachings of Jesus and all other teachings, from every other quarter He had new view of what to present His is a different message from all the other messages to this day. While other teachers instructed the people to held up their heads, to remember noble ancestors, etc, and thereby be blessed, Jesus encouraged His hearers to realize that the poor in spirit, the humble mind ed would receive the-great blessings.
 While other teachers held forth the rich, the great, the learned, the mighty, the influential amongst men as the pat terms to be copied, if happiness would be attaired, Jesus, in these beattudes, sets forth the reverse. .ITis prescriptions for happiness have ind4td been followed by a few, and these alone appreciate their merit and are finding the blessings prom ised. both for the present life and for that which is to come.
 Called to Be the Elect
 The mission of Jesus and His teachings, at His first advent, were not to the world, but to a special class; He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear" The message for the world will go forth at His sec ond advent, and we have the assurance that then all the blinded eyes will be opened and all the deaf ears will be un- stopped, and inc knowledge of the glory of God will fill the whole earth.
 In today's study, Jesus was addressing such of the Jews as had the hearing ear. such as had an inclination to be His dis ciples. He was addressing the class to whom He said, If any man will be My disciple, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me, and where am there shall My disciple be-" It was to this class that the beatitudes were spoken, not with thunderings of sinai not with threats of vengeance and death if the lessons were not learned.
 The Master was addressing such as be- lieved on Him, the class for whom He was about to appear in the presence oi God after finishing His sacriticial work to impute to them His covering for theiI blemishes and imperfections and to give then. a standing with the Father, and to arff fha1x a h ale to God (Romans xii, 1.) He was in structing their calling and election sure how they could the more successfully win the great prize to which they were called.

 merce.
 Washington.-Rep from the Ala bama state convention which have been received here show that the platform there adopted contained a plank favorable to currency and bank reform, which is considered to put Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee on rec ord upon that topic. This plank has been received by banking reformers here with very great interest and satisfaction, 1t being their feeling that while the plank is somewhat general and vague, it is suf- f,cient to make plain what is meant and thereby confirms the known disposition of Chairman Underwood to stand by' the banking reform movement In fact, many persons think that it is better not to have too extreme a statement in the platform. because to do so would arouse antagonism and result in unnecessary Gif- ficulty.
 Nature of Plank
 The new plank is as follows: I've be- lieve that the honest business, farming and working classes of the country could be largely relieved from panics and con sequent unemployment by democratic and non-partsan revision and coditica- tion of our anticipated banking laws which would create an elastic note and credit system. while preserving our inde- pendent banks from any dominant finan- cial or political control"
 The language of the plank is considered here to imply: O) Opposl the mo- tion of government issu Nhi1il is so popular with so ma ss.aceaats at| the present time: @ ma ss.ca of sr- isting competitive banlii 4diUen lgl introduction of some leg na thet ujliI relieve panic and strine aacy eerallaora,| (4) avoidance of cheap nosi as P Bar ..- ing. such as fictitious or i;1i Ion asif. s of one sort or another make la1sl~ as if something were rlq teine 6a ne whereas the reverse easa.

Georgetown had its final scrimmage
yesterday preparatoryFto the game with

work out proved the best which the Hill

Eleven players who composed the var

defense looks particularly strong in all
seven positions. Capt. Hegarty has been
shifted from end to tackle and did ef-
fective work in the new place. With

morning with ten head of jumpers, to
race during the October session of the

reached the track from Canada. among
them being William Cahill, A. w. Foulk.
and A F. Dayton.
