tome of a batch of these letters:
The First National Bank, Elm

"Bill is Objectionable because It re.
quires reserves to be kept with federal
reserve bank without interest; also
the five per cent circulation will no,
count as reserve which is equivalent
to increasing the reserve required"
Peoples National Bank, Rowlesburg

chase government bonds, above the
investment market value, entailing a
loss to the banks, think the present
national bank act good one"

try bankers is some way to turn some

STEPHENS OUTW|TS
HOUSE REPUBLICANS
Gets Consent to Put Speech in
Record and Defends Wilson
and McReynoIds.

Republican mmebers of the House,
who have long sought a chance to talk
about the Administration course in the
Caminetti-Diggs white slave case, only
to be shut of by the Democrats, are
thoroughly indignant today. A 'unani-
nous consent" request by Congressman
Stephens Of Texas to extend his re-
marks in the Record is the cause of
Republican ire
Mr.. Stephens extended his remarks
and defended the Administration, slip
ping one over on the silent Republicans.
Hereafter 1t is going to be difficult to
obtain unanimous consent to print
speeches unless members say what the
speeches are about.
On Friday, before a gag" motion
prevented Mr.. Kahn and other Repub-
licans from lambasting the Admins
tration, the Texas Democrat arose in
nocently and asked to extend his re-
marks. There was no objections
Glancing over the Record today Re-
publicans discovered that Mr.. Steph-
ems starts off like this in his printed
speech:
Mr.. Speaker. Ihold no brief to speak
Tor the present Democratic Admins
tration in relation to the Caminetti-
Diggs controversy. But 1 cannot re-
mai idly by and permit standpat Re-
publican politicians to traduce, and
in my judgment wilfuIly misrepresent
and misinterpret the action of Sec
retary Wilson and Attorney General
McReynolds in this matter. etc, ETC."
Mr.. Stephens then proceeds, at con-
siderable length, otdefend the Ad-
minIstration and to insert in the Rec
ord several newspaper articles and
editorials.
Soon after receiving unanimous con-
sent to extend his remarks Mr..
Stephens voted for the Byrne motion to
prohibit debate on the white slave con-
troversy.
Realizing that the Texas Democrat
has beaten them to it." the Repub-
hcans are now laying for the next
Democrat who asks consent to print a
speech without confiding what it's 60
ing to be about. Meanwhile, the mi
nority will overlook no opportunity to
discuss the white slave case and "bawl
OUT the Democrats and the Administra-
ton.

WASTE PAPER FUND
GOES INTO TREASURY
Public Printer Cannot Use
Money From Sales to Buy
Equipment for Business.

Public Printer Ford cannot use the
proceeds from sales of Government
waste paper to purchase necessary
equipment for the proper handling of
this waste.
Comptroller of the Treasury Downey
decided on appeal today that pro-
ceeds of any sale of old Government
property must be turned into the
Treasury after deduction of proper
charges against that particular sale.
Money for the purchase of scales,
canvas bags. baling machine, labor,
and other equipment, the Comptroller
held, are not the expenses of any one
sale, but are to use to put the waste
paper in more salable shape for use
in future sales, consequently under
the law they cannot be purchased
from the proceeds of sales.
The departments cannot make reim'
bursements OF expenses for labor OIL
other equipment not TO be used for the
department. but might purchase the
canvas bags, this being the only expense
they could take off of the Public
Printer.
The Public Printer was charged with
the duty Of gathering and selling all
Government waste paper in 1906 on the
recommendation of the Economy and
Efficiency Commission.

Gay in Emergency Hospital. His legs
and arms are paralyzed and the physi-
clans do not believe there is much hope
for his recovery.
The accident occurred at the resort
yesterday. Elwood, accompanied by
his brother and brother-in-law, went
down the river yesterday morning, and
shortly after the arrival Of the boat the
trio donned bathing suits and Joined the
large crowd IN tie water. In diving
Elwood turned too far while in the air
and struck the water so that his body
shot directly to the bottom.
He was under water for some time,
and when he finally fioatad to the sur
face he was stunned and helpless. Sew
eral swimmers who were in the water
beside him went to his aid and carried
him TO the shore.
DR.. Louis A Walker. who happened
to be at the beach, was called and did
what he could for the young man 10
make him comfortable until boat time
when he was placed aboard and brought
TO this city. A private ambulance met
the boat and carried Elwood to his
home. Physicians who were summoned
found his condition such that il was
decided to transfer him to the Emerg-
ency Hospital.
While the young man has all the
symptoms of broken neck, the physi-
clans said ii was impossible to make a

photograph was taken TO determine for
sure whether there is a fracture.

time after being taken from the water

good policy as to Mexico"
Senator Borah Of Idaho came out this
afternoon in sweeping attack on the
treaty. He said this meant that the
American flag would go up "all the way
to the Panama canal so certainly as
time goes on" and that IL was the be-
ginning of dominance and control and
ownership Of the United States all the
way from here to the Panama canal" "
The three million 1t was proposed to
pay for a canal right 'of no earthly
benefit or use," he said, was to be paid
under cover for other reasons"
I'VE had just as well be candid with
ourselves, for we are not misleading OF
fooling the other people of the world"
He said that Central American states
were vastly wealthy in natural re-
sources, that exploitation by American
capital would follow protectoratcs,
that we would then have to protect

He condemned the policy Of imperial

from a million rostrums popular gov

to say what kind Of government they
shall have"
I'VE are on our way to Central
America to destroy the governments
there existing because, while 1t Is done
by the soporific influence of cash, it Is
no less destruction than If we would
send our hostile fleets there and hammer
down their capital"
He pleaded for attention to internal
affairs rather than the proposed plan
for Nicaragua.
An informal canvass of the Foreign
Relations Committee indicates the treaty
will easily be reported to the Senate.
It was admitted by Senators opposed to
the treaty that this was true, and that
the chances favored ratification One OF
the strong opponents of the treaty In
committee is Senator Borah.

One of it's strong advocates is Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska. He said today
that such a peaceful arrangement with
Nicaragua was preferable to use OF war

eventually provide more substantial and
general control by the United States
over Central America. At the same
time President Wilson is anxious that
the Significance of the proposition should
not be unduly emphasized, and he has
pointed out to those who have discussed
the matter with him that an extension
of the policy would only follow solicita-
tions to that end from other Central
American nations.
He is anxious, above all, that the
move should be considered as not being
in the interest Of those who would ex-
plot the resources of Central America,
but as an unselfish attempt on the part
OF the United States to assist these
Latin Republics.
Apparently the President Is little dis
turbed by reports that the European
nations will probably voice protests
against the new departure of this coun-
try In Central American affairs.
