ALDRICH HURTS THEM.

The politicians who are engineering
the Democratic currency bill through
Congress appear to be very much dis"
concerted by the denunciation of their
measure by former Senator Aldrich, 1t
will he remembered that Mr.. Aldrich
was chairman of the Currency Commls-
sion which for several years investi-
gated currency matters in the different
nations of Europe and made study OF
fhe currency situation in the United
States. That commission finally re-
ported bill which was surprising in
many respects by reason of it's unpopu
larity and its unfitness to the Ameri-
can situation. Still, it was an intelli-
gent effort to express concretely the
opinions Of the members Of that COM
mission, from the information and
facts which its members had gathered
in these Investigations. And as
such it was received by the
American people; as an honest
study into the financial and currency
questions. The bin was endorsed by
the National Bankers Association in
it's convention at New Orleans, but
that endorsement was withdrawn al
the annual convention the next year,
Mr. Aldrich s censure of the present
currency bill takes the form Of de-
nouncing it as 'socialstic, unsound,
revolutionary, and the resusitation of
Bryan Is greenback heresy.' We think
that Senator Aldrich is fairly justified
in the points of this denunciation.
The sneer that is passed upon him
that since he does not like the present
administration partisan bill che should
have responded to the demands Of the
business world for better measure
while his party was in power is a
fair thrust Mr.. Aldrich should have
done so. He should have had better
bill, and he should have pushed it
stronger than he did. In place of re-
porting 1t on the eve Of his retirement
from the Senate he should have re-
ported better measure at least year
before. and urged it upon Congress so
that there would have been no need Of
the Democrats pushing at the present
time partisan measure, which he truly
denoupces as socialistic and partisan. It
is robbing bill also, which we cannot
believe would he supported by the Fed
era courts, and since these courts Will
undoubtedly be called upon to adjudi-
cate certain confiscatory provisions
carried in this bill, in case it passes, we
believe that Senator Aldrich' s criti-
cism of it would be affirmed by the
courts. In the meantime, his criticism
of the bill appears to carry dismay to
the ranks of the administration back
ers of the present currency bill

GETTING DOWN TO FACTS.

Advices from Washington are that
those who expect any material reduc-
ton in tho cost Of living through the
passage of the Democratic tariff re-
vision are doomed to disappointment,
so far from expecting any reduction,
officials of the Department of Agricul'
ture take such a dark view of the pros
poets as to say that even higher cost
of living may be looked for. This by
reason of the fact that the estimates
Of the food supplies, counting crops
and meat resources, show serious
shortage so far as food crops are con
cerncd, while the price Of meat con
tinues to advance. The talk. therefore,
that this partisan tariff bill would
lessen the cost of living goes for moth
ing, and to those who put faith in that
sort Of talk it must he disconcerting
to have to face the proposition that no
relief whatever is in sight, but rather
the indication is that the cost of ling
viii be increased,
Coincidently the years cotton crop is
poor. and cotton goods may be advanced
in price. Wooden goods. as has been cx-
planned by the manufacturers and by
the makers Of clothing cannot be re-
duccd in price because wool is higher
the world over than ever before. In
food and clothing, therefore, no relief
is to be expected by reason of the
passage of this bill. Those who have
&c c,t
were persuaded of this all along; and
they have indulged in no vain eXpecta-
tions Of the relief which was promised
by the partisan politicians with no
ground whatever to stand on for the
promises as made.
1t is quite true, however, that there
has been some reduction in the price of
sugar by the bundredweight, and gen
orally al wholesale. But what does a
reduction Of 40 cents per hundred, OF
way of relief to the consumer who buys
his sugar by the pound, taking per
haps not more than % or 80 cents worth
at pure hase. In such case the retail
buyer gets no more for his quarter or
half.dollar than he got before, since
the dealer takes to himself the differ.
cnce in the former wholesale price as
compared with the wholesale price now;
and since this is the universal practice
there is no relief in sight, even in the
one matter of sugar, while in every
thing else there is more reason to ex-
pcct advance than reduction.

MANY NATIONS HELPED.

The sensational destruction Of the
liner Volturno by fire and the loss Of such
grievous number of her passengers,
will doubtless be the subject of many
a sermon and study for generations to
come. There were certain features
connected with the rescue that give a
cosmopolitan character to the affair
quite unusual All of the ships within
reach Of the doomed steamship, when
the wireless called, Immediately hur-
ried to the rescue of the Volturno
These ships were of the great sea- going
nations. The English were represented,
the Germans, the French, and the Rus
slams; so that practically the sea going
nations of the world were concerned in
this rescue. The great difficulty was
that of launching the boats in the
rough sea so that the passengers could
be transferred. The German boats from
the Grosser Kurfuerst saved the great
est number of lives, with the Gar,
Of the Russian-American line the closest
second The French La Touraine also
made goodly record, and the English
did nobly.
A great high sea was running; it was
night, and eleven ships were close to
the blazing hulk. 1t was a sensational
situation, the like of which was never
seen upon the seas before in the his.
tory Of the world. In spite Of the diff
ficulties and the dangers, the boats
went back and forth, and such nerve
and skill were displayed that in the
whole work of rescue not an accident
happened. 1t was great work all
around, from the response to tho wire
less call until the last of the living
passengers had been transferred to
safety on the ships of the nations there
and then gathered for the rescue of
humanity in peril. Nothing finer was
ever seen, and no greater skill was
ever displayed than in this magnificent
work Of the rescue Of the Volturno's
passengers, who were crowded on the
deck in peril of being burned alive.

HUGE WEDDING GIFTS.

The enormous wedding gifts gwen by
Henry Clay Frick of Pittsburgh to his
son and his daughter-in-law are well
calculated to arrest the attention of
the world. and to draw contrast be.
tween two men who made enormous
wealth in IRON and steel at Pittsburgh,
Mr.. Frick is one Of these men, Mr.
Carnegie is the other. Mr. Frick has
so far shown little disposition to con
fer any benefits upon the community
at large in return for the great oppor
tunities which were given to him to
amass money. He has spent his money
chiefly in his own interest and in the
interest of his family He gave his

is true that such demands as these arc

and in law, and yet there can be no
doubt that such displays as these of
Mr.. Frick tend to foster the feeling
that favors the robbing of the rich
In the other case, Mr.. Carnegie has
made an entirely different use Of bis
money. There is, OF course, good
deal of feeling against Mr.. Carnegie,
this originating largely because he
showed no disposition TO share his
wealth with those who had helped him
to make it. The same is true also of
Mr.. F'rick. But Mr. Carnegie has con
ferred extensive benefits upon the pub
lie by his enormous gifts; his educa-
tional gifts. his gifts for original re-
search, his hero fund. his gifts of libra
ries, his cndowments for professors,
and in general his benefits to the cause
of education and humanity have been
stupendous, beyond all precedent here.

tasteful, but on the whole, Mr.. Carne-
gic's henefactions have greatly helped
humanity and will help humanity worry
much more in the long ages to come.
1t is far, therefore, to draw a COM
psrIson between the two men. and TO
say that Mr. Carnegie was. as far as
all public knowledge goes, by all odds

WON'T CORRECT THE BLUNDER

1t is not easy to see why President
Wilson and Representative Underwood, d,
the chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, can reconcile it with
their sense of fitness, OF law. and of
good faith, TO refuse to correct the
blunder in the tariff revision law which
vainly promises TO give preference of
D per cent on imports of goods car
ried in American ships. 1t is evil
dent on the face Of it that the law is
imperative as against any country with
which we have commercial treaties
which give their shipping the same
status as American shipping, as most
Of these treaties do
When the Treasury Department was
first confronted with this problem, de-
cision was promptly reached that the
treaties must govern, and that where
the law undertakes to give preference
TO American shipping it is invalid; but
that strict Interpretation of the law
would give all the commercial treaty
nations the same reduction of ) per
cent, which would cause a loss Of many
million dollars year TO the United
States treasury. With this ruling the
State Department conceded.
But Acknowledgement McReynolds
disagrees with the State and Treasury
Departments in their Interpretation of
the law as stated. The State and Treas
ury Departments believe that all ma
tons which have treaties such as indi-
Gated will be entitled TO the same re-
duction on import duties as those given
to American ships. The Attorney Gen
eral. however, thinks that the rebate
can be allowed on imports carried in
American ships only when brought
from countries with which we have no
commercial reciprocity.
The difference between these two
views is that in the first case the re.
bate would havo 20 be allowed on all
imports. In the latter case it would
be allowed on no imports from any Of
the commercial treaty nations, but only
on imports carried in American ships
from countries where we have practi-
cally no commercial relations.
The effect of this, however, is neg
ligible, since If American ships are
to be favored only as TO imports from
countries that do not send us any I'M
ports to amount 20 anything, the inef-
feetiveness of the treaty is Just the
same as to them as il is with respect
to those countries where we are
obliged to allow their shipping tho same
privileges as our own. The difference

VOTING IN WEST VIRGINIA

One Of the phenomena of the times
is the falling OFF in the Progressive
vote this year as compared with last.
Many instances have been given OF this
falling off, which are construed as
meaning that the Progressive party is
disintegrating. We do not believe,
however, that this is the true explana.
tion. The Progressive party, as VIC
have often stated, is the personal party
of Colonel Roosevelt. We are convinced
that if he were the candidate again,
as he was last year, the Progressive
party would rally to him as it did be.

FOUNTAIN PENS
TAKEN BY THIEF
Midnight Visitor Breaks Into Type
writer Shop and Gets Away With
$GOO Worth of Goods.

Breaking through a rear window.
a midnight burglar entered the Type
writer shop, 1922 Z. Jefferson
boulevard, and carried away approx
mately $500 worth of fountain pens.
Tuesday night
Wednesday morning when B. A.
futile opened the store everything
seemed as usual and it was not for
sometime that he observed that the
pen showcase had been broken into.
The police were Immediately notified.
futile learned that the intruder had
entered the store by removing a pane
OF glass in a window near the rear Of
the store.
The work shows the best piece of
burglar daring seen in South Bend for
sometime as it is believed that it was
accomplished by a single looter. The
fountain pens were both light and
valuable and were selected by the
rObber.
The showcase in which the pens
were kept was not locked and after
gaining admittance to the shop il was
not difficult To get the goods. With
the light furnished from the street
lamps tho intruder was able to make
his entrance and exit without tearing
up things He is supposed to DE a
professional as his methods show
perfect work. The safe had a small
amount CT money in it but was not
touched
During the forenoon several detec-
tives arrived on the scene and began
thorough investigation. Letters
were mailed TO dealers in stationery
articles in nearby cities as we'll as the
larger ones, informing them of the
robbery. by futile. the president and
manager of the shop, in an effort to
recover the goods and capture the
thief
COincident with the robbery which
was committed during Tuesday night,
the Sells-FlotO Circus Co. discharged
80 men in the city before they left
Tuesday morning. and many of them
were here late Tuesday night. De-
tectives are working on a clue that
one of these men may have been the
thief.
