LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Money Fifty Years Ago.

Mir. Editor: During the civil war the money power partially lost the owner ship and control of money. From l792 to 1881 1t had absolute control Of all money (gold and silver) under free coinage. and of the paper currency Estate bank bills). Circular No. 72 from the treasury department on page 16 ssys: "grhe first paper money ever issued by the government or the Unit ed States was authorized by the acts of congress July IT and August 5, 1861 notes." Fifty million dollars were au- thorized by the two acts. February 12, 1862, another $1O, 000, 900 was author ized. These notes were not legal tender when first issued, but on March IT, 1862, they were made full legal ten- der" These notes were said to De payable in gold or coin, on demand. In December, 1861, the government and the banks both suspended specie pay ments. The demand notes depreciated to 80 cents on the dollar. As said above, March IT, 1862. the demand notes were made full legal tender, and when it took 2S5 dollars of the greenbacks (with the word except on them) to get $1OO of gold, it took 285 1-2 dollars of said greenbaclzs to get $100 of demand notes. They were worth more than gold, because they would do all that gold money would do and more conv enient. This is posi- tive proof that the legal tender pre- vents the depreciation of paper money. These notes did not depreciate as long as the government had the gold to pay them when demanded. But when the government suspended, or refused to pay in coin, they went down to 30 cents on the dollar AS soon as con- gress made them a legal tender for all debts they were as good as gold-yes, better than gold, notwithstanding the fact that the government had no gold to redeem them with, and notwithstand- ing the promise to pay on demand still remained on the notes, which further proves that the law of legal tender an- nuls all promises to pay. Payment kills the promise to pay, because legal tender Is pay.
 This is also proof that if the 15O millions of greenbacks authorized Feb ruary 25. 1862, had been made full legal tender they would not have de- preciated. It looks like a scheme to get rid of the SO million dollars of le- gal tender demand notes, for 50 mil lions of the 160 millions of except" greenbacks was to take the place of the demand notes. By July l, 1863, $5S,330,000 of the demand notes were destroyed, and nearly three millions more were destroyed before July 1, 1864. By the destruction of the full legal tenders, and substituting the "ex- cept" greenbacks. the government s creditors (soldiers) received only about $450 to $5 per month instead of SIS. The strange and curious part of it is that the government compelled all creditors to receive this purposely de- preciated greenback at it's face value, and would not take it from the import CT at its face. The bondholders were not obliged to take it for interest, but the government sold it's bonds and took the greenbacks at their face. Can any one explain why this was done? The importers had to pay the premium on gold to pay the duty to the govern ment.

Two New Acts and Four PhotoPlays Come to the Davis for the Last Thrse Days of the Week.

The new acts are Marion and Dean tn 6 first class comedy singing ana a novelty rope spinning act that comes very highly recommended; in fact, we are under the impression that these people have played here before and were very well received.
 The Frenzy of Finance, MT: PICK wick's Predicament, His Windmill, Lovestck Maidens and The Sedge Warblers sound like promises or more of the good things which The DaV1s IS offering so regularly.
 A slight change in the policy Of the house has been made necessary be- cause of the fact that now the schools have reopened many of the pupils can get to the theater only on Saturday afternoon; this means crowd so large as to make it unpleasant for the many ~grown-ups' who wish to see the show on that day. Because fof this. beginning on Saturday and continu- ing until further notice, there will be two shows given on each Saturday afternoon, the first at 1.3O and the sec- cnd at 3.15.

kinuston Fair.


 The Kingston fair, held by the Washington County Agricultural so- ciety, opened Tuesday.
 Numerous changes about the grounds, which confused even the old time residents of that section of the state, and the presence of an airship are conspicuous features.
 This year there are nearly 300 ex- hibttors with total of over 4,0O0 in- dividual entries. This alone gives some idea of the size of the fair.
 As a whole, the event is fully up to that of last year, which was one of the best in the history of the soci- ety. Cattle of all kinds, fruit, flowers and the product of women's needles occupy conspicuous places. In addition to these there are many other exhibits that attract the attention of visitors, no matter whether they come from the city or country.
 Probably the biggest attraction on the grounds, in line with past years Is the cattle show, and this is fully up to the standard of other fairs. Some of the finest specimens of the leading butter and milk breeds are in the pens, notable among them being the herd Of thoroughbred Ayrshires from the state school for feeble minded at Exeter. entered for exhibition only.
 An added attraction has been made by the management in the appearance of flying machine, the first thins of its kind to make an appearance ,ir the South county. Miss Ruth Law who flew at Narra gansett park on La. Dor day. is scheduled to make tive flights. the first on Thursday after. hoon, Governors day, and the second Brtday morning.

sFrsed From suspicion," Magnificent
 Dramatic Feature Picture.

Quito out of the ordinary is the sen- sat1onAl feature picture at the Breed today, entitled Freed from Suspicion. 1t ts Kalem production of the high est type, and has on its cast of char acters the names of such popular players as Carlyle Blackwell, Alice Joyce, Jane Wolfe and William West. The plot revolves around a dishonest housemaid, whose thefts are laid to the door of the youthful admirer of the daughter of the house. Simply by chance, the maid is detected in her pilfcring, and the innocent lover is freed from suspicion.
 The Desert Sandstorm, one of the dearest and brightest Lubin pictures ever shown in this city, is brimming over with interest and excitement. Its scenes are laid in the vicinity of the Great American desert, and it is upon this that the fleeing couple is caught and overwhelmed by the oncoming sand storm. A superb rural scenic story by the Edison company wins the hearts of all.

The Third Term Question.


 MT. Editor: For it's bearing on the third term question, as well as upon MT. Roosevelt's meaning when he de- clared that he should not be candi- date for reelection, 1t is instructive to recall little history.
 At the expiration of his second term as president, General Grant went abroad and was received with great distinction by crowned heads, states men and warriors. Appreciation at home grows more rapidly with atten- tions abroad. AS he traversed the con- tinent from the Pacific eastward, upon his return, he was everywhere welcom- ed with outbursts of popular enthusi- asm and acclaim as our foremost citi- zen. His great and inestimable ser- vices for his country had made him il lustrious; criticism and opposition aroused during his two terms of ser vice had been forgotten or silenced.
 Senators Conkling of New York, Cameron of Pennsylvania and Logan of Illinois headed the movement to control these three great states and nominate General Grant in triumph. Perhaps the respect and affection in which he was held by the people gen. orally was brought out in stronger light because General Hayes adminis- tration, though sound, wise and able, was not brilliant or spectacular.
 Why was not General Grant nomin- ated in 1880 rather than a dark horse?" Because of the deep-seated conviction against a third term in the presidency. But for that he would have been nominated with unanimity. Parallel to the case is MT. Roosevelt, a term had intervened. Even his three mighty captains, with public sentiment intensely friendly, grateful and appre- ciative towards the popular hero, could not have saved him from defeat. The contention had not been thought of that an intervening term did away with the rule. Upon the first ballot in the republican convention, held then, as 1t was this year, in Chicago, Grant had BOA votes, Blaine 2S4. Sherman 93, Ed munds 34. Washburne 30, Windom 10 and Garfield 1. The BOA stood by their candidate with the firrnness of the Old Guard to the last. making the number | historic, but to no purpose. Principle had conquered. | It was believed when that conven- ton adjourned, and ever since till now, that the question of a third term was forever settled-rightly settled and at rest. Were the people wrong then ? The precedent established by Wash 1 ington had received its final con- frmation. Has any occasion arisen for overruling it?
