SENATE PASSES
MONEY BILL

The Democratic party reached an
other important milestone in their leg
islative program yesterday when the
Senate passed the Glass cur
rency bill by vote Of 81 to 81. The
Democrats were joined in the final
, vote by six Republicans and one Pro-
gressive.
While the measure passed may not
meet all expectations congratulations
arc due to the nation over its final
passage.
The bill has been pronounced 80
per cent. Coos by competent hostile
critic, and that is about as near per-
lection as it is possible to get it by
human effort alone. Another more
friendly critic--like the one just re-
.rerrcd to, a banker--saw 81 IL per
cent of good in the measure; and
since this utterance it has undergone
amendments, by which it has possibly
been improved. 1t may be bettercG
still more in conference. and the at.
tainmcnt of 80 per cent. perfection
is not beyond the bounds Of prob
ability. BY affecting long demanded
reforms in our banking and currency
system of the Democratic party will
have earned praise not only for Going
so we'll what had to be done, but for
daring to do it. The currency ques-
ton has been before the country
for 40 years. and in all that time
the Republicans have not found
in themselves the courage to per-
form the task.
Great relief will come to the mem
bcrs of Congress who have beer
hard worked without recess for q
wear. and to the President, whose
tension has been without ease since
hc started to enforce the two grcai
Dcrlorcratic measures, reform OF the
tariff and reform of the currency
Both Congress and the President
will have well earned the rest whicf
the proposed recess to January III
will give them; but. best of all, Wi
no the relief which the currency hll
will bring to the country. The sim
ulc fact that it is complete WI
give an immense assurance 10 ousi
ness.
