Senator Reed and the Currency Bill.
Some of Senator James A. Reeds
warmest friends among the Mis-
souri, newspaper editors have been
inclined to find fault with his at
titude toward the currency bill so
speedily passed by the Democratic
House While the Journal has not
INDUCED in personal criticism, it
has, it must confess, been impati-
ent with senators who have stood
in the way of prompt action, be-
lieving that it was best to pass a
bill, if not entirely perfect, in re-
spouse to universal demand. for a
change in the financial system of
the country.
Senator Reed has mailed to the
Democratic newspapers OF the state
letter fully explaining his position
a copy Of which was received by
the Journal yesterday and, in re-
Spouse t. his request, it appears
elsewhere in this issue.
1t is exceedingly easy to criticise
public officials, and it is pastime
often unjustly INDUCED in by news
paper writer's.
1t is piece of real news to the
Journal to learn that the currency
bill was born on Wall street and
originally intended to serve Wall
street interests.
The country was under the inn
preston that it was an admins
tration measure" having the abso-
lutte approval of the president.
AS historian. dealing with the
bill. Senator Reed gives some start
ling facts in his letter.
The country asked and got tariff
reform. 1t wantsato 60 along with
tariff reform, currency reform, but
it wants a measure that will meet
the needs Of the people.
Senator Reed took the risk of
criticism to be right as he believes
he is right in taking time now to
weed out the viicous things in the
bin and SUPPLYING safeguards.
Senator Reeds letter deserves a
careful perSuaI.-Hannibal Jour-
nal.

CROWNED WITH A SILK HAT.
West African Savaees Have 4 Queer
Way Of inaueuratina q Kina.

West African savaees Have a Queer
Way Of inaueuratins q King.
In "The Fetish Folk of West Africa"
Mr.. Robert Fl. Milligan describes the
grotcsque ceremony of inaugurating a
native king:
The king was chosen from among the
people BY the elders. and he was select.
ed for his wisdom. The ceremonies of
his enforcement were such that he re.
quired not only wisdom, but also cour.
age. physical strength and a superb di.
gestion. The mans first intimation
that he had been chosen by the elders
was an onrush of the entire tribe-not
to do him honor, but to abuse and in.
suit him in every possible way.
They would hurl opprobrious epithets
at him. curse him, spit upon him, pelt
him with mud and beat him. for. thew
said. from this time on he could do ali
these things to them. and they would
be powerless to retalate. 1t was their
last chance!
They also reminded him of all his
failings In graphic and minute particu.
lars II the king survived this trent.
ment he was then taken to the former
kings house. where he was solemnlv
invested with the insignia of the king.
" oihce In the shape Of silk hat No
one except the king was permitted to
wear a silk hat
Following the Inauguration ceremony
the people came and bowed before the
new king IN humble submission, while
they praised him as enthusiastically IA
they had before reviled him. Then no
was Ted and feted for a week, during
which time he was not permitted to
leave his house. but had to receive
guests from all parts of his dominion
and eat with them all. These ceremo.
MES ended. he turned to the compara.
lively easy and commonplace duties Of
his kingly office. This custom. like
many others. has passed away under
the influence of civilization.
