PROSPECTS FOR CURRENCY
LEGISLATION.

President V%anderlip, of the Nations
a new plan for currency legislation
to take the place Of the bill now pend
ing. His suggestion is that there be
established a central bank with a cap
ital of s1O0.OO0,0 900. owned by private
capital, but controlled absolutely by
the government. This bank, accord
ing to the plan, is to be a bank of
re%discount and issue.
Naturally this plan will not meet
with the approval of the hackers of
the bill now before congress. 1t is
also certain hat because the sugges-
ton from the president of the
largest bank in the country. the very
head and center of the Wall street
group, and the bank which is domin-
ated by the Rockefeller influence. the
plan will be criticized as one intended
10 promote the interests of the Wall
street people, and directly opposed to
the interests of the people at large.
We have not yet reached the point
where. in matters Of banking. we are
willing to trust the other fellow very
far. The -Aldrich banking plan was
denounced from one end Of the coun-
try to the other because it was put
forth under the name of a ma who
had been at the head Of a senate or
g%anization of politicians. which or
g~anization had become %unpopula-
throughout the country. And vet. stu
dents of economics were willing tn
admit that the plan had at least, very
considerable merit But because of
the connection of Aldrich with it It
was condemned. and there never was
the slightest chance of its beconin.
a law.
The present bill is lauded BY some
people and severely scored by others.
So it would be with any other bill
that could be proposed. Yet it is adj
mitted that the country needs a
change in its banking laws. Obvious
~, If we are to have a change, now
or at any other time, it will be neces-
sary. for someone to take the bull! by
the horns n push a bill through
against the opposition that is certain
to be offered. There is more reason
to hope for a reasonable unanimity
of opinion on amendments to a bank
Ing law after it has been in opera
ton for a time than to expect any
thing like unanimity in favor Of a
new law as a whole.

One of the officials of our embassy
at London tells Of an incident that
occurred in a train proceeding through
the north of Scotland. There was an
other passenger in the compartment
at the time the American entered.
At h next station three Scots came
in. They were all big, burly men and
completely filled up the seat on tho
side of the compartment where the
first mentioned passenger was seated.
At h next station the carriage door
opened to admit a tall, cadaverous in
dividual whose girth was about that
of a lamppost.
He tried to wedge himself in be-
tween two Of the passengers already
there, and said to one of them:
Here. you u move up a bit.
Each seat is intended to accommodate
five persons, and. according to act of
parliament. you are entitled only to
eighteen inches of space"
AYE, ave., my friend,' replied one
Of the Scots" that's a very. guild for

LAUGH WITH US r.

Stories That Have N
Many People Smile.

A nervous commuter on his dark,
lonely way home from the railroad
station heard footsteps behind him.
He had an uncomfortable feeling that
he was being followed. He increased
his speed. The footsteps quickened
accordingly. The commuter darted
down a lane. The footsteps still pur-
sued him. In desperation he vaulted
over a fence and, rushing into a
graveyard. threw himself painting on
one of the graves. ~, 49,.
IF he follows me here" he thought
fearfully, there can be no doubt as
to his intentions"
The man behind was following. He
could hear him scrambling over the
fence. Visions of highwaymen, mani
acs, garroters, and the like flashed
through his brain. Quivering with
fear, the v one arose and faced
his pursuer.

"Wh-Why are you following me?"
Say" asked the stranger, hopping
his brow, do you always go home

After the bride of a week had in

It was a wizened little man who ap-

his wife with cruel and abusive treat
