CURRENCY A HARD PROBLEM
Congressmen Find They Have a
Lot to Learn.
The Tribune Bureau.
by j. K. JONES

Washington, D. c., August s.
The lingering suspicion that the
average congressman knows about
as much about
the fundamental principles in.
yolved in currency and banking
legislation as he does about the
high price OF cheese in the Sahara,
appears to have been verified.
The Aldrich commission made a
very exhaustive study OF the
problems, and in the adininistra-
tion bill before the house COM
mittee some Of the principal fea- !
lures of the Aldrich plan are found
lurking beneath additional theories
worked out by aides of the, Presi
dent 1t is opehlytalked on Capi-
tol hill that the Democratic com
mitteemen working with Mr.. Glass,
owe good part OF their differ ences
to lack of knowledge of their
subject. At recent meeting OF
/ the Democratic members OF the
house committee representative
Bulkley OF Ohio, wanted to know
"why the members of this COM
inittee were SO discourteous to
each other3" Mr.. Korbly of In
diana, who had been kicking up
the fuss that provoked the ques.
ton, denied any intention I'm his
part to make rough house, while
! Wilson of Florida, got into the
controversy, and asserted that he
had been properly behaved. How
ever. that number Of gentlemen
engaged in framing the Legislation,
are thoroughly conversant with
the subject, is unquestioned. On
the Republican side Representa-
tive Hayes Of California, is said to
, be giving good deal OF attention
to the question, though Congress-
man Woods Of Iowa appears to
be the best posted man the minor
ity has, and he has not. only been
in the banking business, but has
gone to the very bottom Of the
question, having studied the
principles and history of the cur
rency problem as it exists in all
civilized countries. The Republi-
cans will undoubtedly look to him
to prepare their case. The ma
jority Of the representatives will
be content to "take their leaders
word for it," Senators likewise,
while supposed to fbe wonderfully
wise, have lot 10 learn about this
legislation, and If they should get
through talking about the tariff,
they may be able to vote on a
currency bill shortly before .'snow

The Smile.

The girl who smiles too much makes
as great mistake as she who smiles
too little, for though she may be only
actuated by an honest desire to
please, she lays herself open to the
charge of insincerity. A smile can
transform plain face into loneliness,
but 1t only does this when it is the
outcome of some special emotion, and
not a mere aimless parting of the lips.
Smiling to order" or on any and ev.
cry occasion, is fatal to charm, and
should be carefully avoided.

ed in her demand, and finally her
mother agreed to take her If she prom
ised TO be very quiet.
She was very good throughout the
greater part of the proceedings, but
after listening patiently to the
speeches for some time she whispered

Each day he tells me he has won

That he has gloriously earned;
