FIVE THOUSAND WORDS AT

From an exchange we take the
statement as follows:

Yet, despite this fact, M
Shakespeare has arisen to contest
the honors of the one who had
only 5000 word tools for his use.
Shakespeare did not travel, or
speak many tongues,
Perhaps his power lay in stay
ing with himself. in digging in his
own mind and soul for knowiedss
and wisdom, and in making no
effort to find unusual words
wherewith TO convey his mean
ing
1t would be interesting to know
just what he would have done
with our vast vocabulary Of words
If he had been given one OF the
new dictionaries.
But it is more Interesting In
realize what he did without these
words. And 1t is worth thinking
about, whenever we are tempted
to complain, that we lack the
necessities for making a success
in any one direction.
The mind that is bent on a pur-
pose and the soul that is ansme
with aspiration, and the hear
that is strong with courage
MUST attain success, Nothing
can prevent It.
The man who is possessed Of
these three things will fashion
his tools, and hew his way
through rocks. and build bridges
over rivers, and cut stairs In
frowning mountains, and climb
over them TO the goal beyond All
elements OF success lie in our

FIFTEEN REGIONAL BOARDS WILL SUPERVISE LOCAL FL
 NANCIAL MATTERS.
FEDERAL BOARD LAST POWER
Governing Body, Impartially Picked, Will Supervise and Have Power to Issue Expansive Notes-Tax
 for Emergency Paper.

Washington, June 17.-With the of the proposed banking and currency measure which Senator Owen and Representative Glass, as the respec- tive chairmen of the senate and house banking and currency committees, have been preparing in cooperation with Secretary McAdoo of the treas ury, herewith is presented an accu- rate outline of its essential features.
 The bill will be ready today to be submitted to Democratic and Repub- lican members of the two committees for suggestions for improving it.
 Under the terms of the bill the country will be divided into 15 geo graphical subdivisions, in each Of which a regional reserve association may be formed. The fedtral board of reserve, which it proposes to estab- fish at Washington, would be vested with authority to increase the num- Der of such regional associations.
 The national banks in each of these subdivisions would be required to par ticipate in the formation of the re gional reserve associations, while state banks which meet certain con ditions and requirements of organiza- tion would be permitted to participate as member banks of these associa- tions.
 Nine Directors in Each District.
 There will be nine directors for each regional reserve bank. Three of these directors will be bankers elect ed by vote of the directors of the member banks divided into three groups.
 Three other directors will be repre- sentative business men, to be elected by the member banks. while the re maining three will be appointed by ths president of the United States.
 Each of these regional reserve asso- citations will be the reserve agency for the member banks in it's respec- tive division of territory. State banks desiring to join these associations and the national banks required to do so each will subscribe to the capital stock of the association in its region in an amount prorated on it's capital and surplus.
 The bill will provide. however, that no regional reserve association may be formed with capitalization below a definite figure.
 The bill will not contain any pro vision for a guarantee of bank de

preparing to call upon the mine op- orators for their side of the contro- versy. Ex-mine guards, detectives and special agents and miners and union operators throng the lobby of the hotel, where the committee is in session, and crowd the room where the hearing is being held.
 Contradiction and explanation of the stories told all last week by the men and women who lived through what former Gov. Glasscock called a reign of terror" in the strike district was the program of the operators, and they had witnesses on hand. The com nesses be held down to the lowest possible figure. but the attorneys fos the operators insisted that their case called for a great mass of testimony.
 Chances of bitter resentment and an occasional muttered word among the scores of men gathered about the committee hotel bear witness to the i'll feeling that still prevails here. The story of Lee Calvin, ex-mine guard, relating to the shooting up of the strikers camp at Holly Grove, has crystallized much of the ill feeling, and even among the attorneys before the committee an occasional glance of bitterness shows the undercurrent of resentment
 The presence in Charleston of John P. White, president of the United Mine Workers of America, resulted in several conferences among union of ficials. He was in Charleston princi- pally to make an appearance and give bail in the criminal cases brought against the mine officials in the fed eral courts for alleged conspiracy un- der the sherman law.

SITUATION SERIOUS AS SENATE INVESTIGATOR PREPARE TO
 HEAR OPERATORS.
BROKEN WORD IS CHARGED
Alleoation of Discrimination in Re Employment of Miners is Made by Workers-Miners Presi-
 dent on the Ground.

Charleston, w. Va, June 17.-With industrial war again declared in West Virginia. the senate coal strike inves- tigating committee confronts a situa- ton critical and complicated. Word from the isolated sections of Paint Creek and Cabin Creek that the strike was again on drifted into Charleston from half dozen sources, and repre- sentatives of mine operators, miners and state officials sought in vain for word from the little camps along the creeks.
 The union attorneys appearing be- fore the committee said that they were certain the men had declined to go back to work but they were un- able to make any estimate of the num- Der of men who struck. There were comparatively few union men in the field, they said but they believed both union and nonunion men decided to quit
 numbering 15,000, have threatened trouble and 1t was feared the new outbreak on Paint and Cabin creeks would precipitate a struggle there.
 The miners meeting at Eskdale and Kaytord voted to renew the strike on the ground that. the operators had not lived up to their agreement to take the strikers back to work without dis eliminating This claim and the story that mine guards had beaten up four men on Cabin creek on Saturday caused the decision.
 With feeling between miners and mine operators again keyed up to a high pitch, the senate committee is

Tiny Electric Dynamo.

The smallest electric dynamo in the world was exhibited recently before the French Academy of Science. So small Is this dynamo that its base would not occupy all the space on an American penny. The instrument Is a perfect miniature of large ma chine, and Is a practical model in ev- cry respect. It works with a hum that sounds like the buzz of a mos quito. It weighs only one-fifth of an ounce, and is six-tenths of an inch high and long and only half an inch thick. The little dynamo can be used not only as a generator. but as a mo tor. consuming. in this latter case. two amperes of electric current at . pressure of two and one-half volts. A small pocket battery will operate it.

 Federal Board Last Power.
 The proposed federal board of re- serve to be established at Washing ton will be superimposed upon the en- tire system of regional reserve associ- ations This federal board will have broad powers of supervision and reg ulation.
 The plan calls for nine members of this board. Three of them will be elected by vote of the regional re- serve associations, four will be ap- pointed by the president and the eighth and ninth members will be the secretary of the treasury and the secretary of agriculture.
 Through this federal board of re- serve treasury notes will be issued to the regional reserve associations for the proposed additional or expansion of currency. These treasury notes will be secured by a first lien on the capital stock and gold reserve of the regional reserve banks.
 Upon demand of the regional re- serve associations, the federal board of reserve, acting on its own discre- tion will be authorized to issue treas ury notes.
 These notes will bear a nominal rate of interest for the first four months. After that the interest will advance as a progressive tax as rap idly as 1 per cent a month.
 Each member bank having to bear part of this tax upon the additional currency issued through its regional reserve association and the progress sive tax similar in principle to the progressive tax upon emergency cur rency that may be issued under the terms of the existing Aldrich-Vree- land law, will supply the banks with an incentive to redeem the treasury notes as rapidly as the short-time prime commercial paper, utilized in connection with their issue, natures.

MRS. GAIT TELLS ALLIANCE AT BUDAPEST OF WORLD PRO
 GRAM IN CAUSE.
STRONG MOVE ON IN CHINA
Advises That Countries Having De- pendencies Send Women to Study Conditions Relating
 to Women There.

buudpeSt, June ll.-1here are dlS- tinct woman suffrage movements in the Philippines, China, India, Ceylon, Burmah, Sumatra, Java the Holy Land, Egypt and even on the south east and west coasts of Africa In China, the youngest republican and the oldest country on the globe there are nine women members of the Can- ton state assembly. Throughout the supposedly unenlightened parts of the Orient suffrage for women is at hand.
 These were some of the many in tensely interesting details related by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York, president of the International Woman Suffrage alliance, which opened it's business sessions and be- gan the real work of the weeks con- vention here.
 Mrs. Catt has just completed an IS months tour of the world, to which she was assigned when she was elect ed president of the worlds greatest gathering of women at the Stockholm convention two years ago.
 "I was astonished at the wonderful strength and growth of the suffragist movement in countries where I did not suspect that a sentiment for it even existed" said Mrs. Catt, in her report. ''I found a distinct womens | movement in every part of the world I visited. mainly seeking educational improvement, but 1t was surprising to learn of the large number of women, especially in the far east, who have espoused the idea of the vote, and who look forward confidently to the time when it will be enjoyed equally by both sexes in their communities. It seemed to me as if these people were suddenly being evolved from the tai low candle age to the electric light age, without having gone through the oil lamp and gas periods They were making for the same ideal exactly as the more enlightened women of Amer ica and Europe are contending for. "The movement has progressed so far in China, for instance, that l had the pleasure in the province of Can tou oi oielihe III tiiO oHoOhhbiy' o iNiA'N of state parliament, where there are nine women members. Just now the women of China are carrying on a most aggressive campaign for the na- tional vote"
 Mrs. Catt urged the adoption of resolutions recommending that all countries which are overlords of col onies or dependencies send out com missions composed of women to ascer- tain what is being done for women in these dependencies. She argued that such reforms as are being carried on in such dependencies are for the ben eft of men only. and in some in- stances the bonds of oppression are being more firmly riveted upon the women. Investigations of such condi- tions by men would be ridiculous and useless, she said. She explained her suggestion applies particularly to England, but that it affects also the United States, France, Germany, Spain and even the Scandinavian countries.

With the immense increase in volume
of traffic at both Washington and Bal

time that boats can now make, II is de-
clared that whatever the railroads do,
the two cities are reaSonabl yassured OF

There seems to be some misunder-
standing in Washington on one point in

AS a matter of fact, the tariffs that

continue under the tariffs as now filed.
What We demand to know Is, how
the railroads can support their general
