MR.. scHIFFs CURRENCY TALKS.

Mr.. Jacob H. Schiff, giving warning of the
need Of reform of our currency system, ought to
know, and beyond a shadow of doubt does know,
that need and the evil that come to both capital
and labor if the currency reform doesn't arrive be-
fore it is TOO late.
But Mr.. Schif hasn't said in his recent inter
views that this country was on the verge of in.
dustria commercial and financial ordeals. He
did say so in 1907; and in very few months this
country was in the spasms of panic. This year, on
the contrary, he says that danger is much re.
mote than it was in 1907 and that the right kind OF
currency reform would be almost sure to make il
still more remote.
Mr.. Schiff does not say that the currency 1egis.
laon now before Congress ought to be passed in the
shape it is urged by the Administration. Mr.. Schi
has said that currency reform measure such the
Administration has placed before Congress ought to
be passed in due season, after it has been PROP
ERLY AMENDED.
iii was great injustice to Mr.. Schiff for some
people to try to interpret him warning of pend
ing panic, it was great injustice to him for party
leaders and organs to attribute to him full indorse
ment of the Administrations currency measure
when he had merely declared that the President:
plan was seeking to do the right thing, but that be-
fore it should be put into execution it should be
made the right plan.

MORE THAW CASES.

Apparently as. long as Thaw's money holds out
his legal proceedings can continue, now in this State,
in that State and then again ia the United States
courts The governor of New Hampshire signs the
sxuadition papers for the return of Thaw to New
York., where ne is under indictment for conspiracy.
But the United States District Court in New Hamp-
shire scan keep Thaw out of New York perhaps for
many months. And after that there is still the United
States Supreme Court And still, after that, if Thaw
S then sent back to New York, there begins again
he long course of proceedings over the DID, old case.
In the brief time that Thaw was on the other side
# our northern boundary, Canada, it must be con-
hssed, did far. better asswe as quicker job with
he business than was ever done overhere.

A RELIEF FUND THAT CAN WAIT.

Persons whose sympathies easily moved need
not be in hurry t, start relief fund for Senator
Jackson because the disbursing officer of the august
legislative body in which he sits has decided that his
pay check stopped working and that of Senatoreect
Lee began on the date of Mr.. Lees election.
f., Despite the fact that the new tariff bill has at
tached ballast to the high cost of living, it is
probable that Mr.. Jackson will be able to worry
along through Christmas without having to see Uncle
about his watch. And, of course, the SeEate can
straighten out the tangle and relieve the Senators
suspense whenever it gets ready to do so. Mr.. Lee
doesn't need the money, anyhow, if he possesses
tithe of the means generously credited to him by
William H. Anderson.
Opinions given by Senator Kern, Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Folk and others show pretty clearly that nobody
knows exactly when Mr. Lee ought to take his seat.
That being the case the Democratic majority in the
Senate may be expected to be guided by party exi-
gencies as we'll as Interpretation Of the law.

CURRENCY CAUCUS.

The calling of Democratic CAUCUS in the SEN
ate, to make the currency bill party measure and
hitch it firmly to the partisan chariot is most sig
niicant sign 1t is good deal more significant than
casual commentators have quite realized thus far.
There is insurgency among Democrats in the COM
mittee, and the caucus is to do what the committee
is unable to do Force the Administration measure
upon the floor of the Senate in the form the Admins
traton wants it. Can the caucus force the passage
of the measure in that same form?
1t is just as we'll to understand that the currency
measures situation is precarious in the extreme.
The Times called attention the other day to the re-
markable parallel between the 1910 effort of the
through Congress unchanged, and the present ef-
fort of the Wilson Administration to do approximately
the same thing with currency measure. The Taft
railroad bill fell into the hands of Senate that re-
fused to be managed and as result was almost
completely overhauled.
Will the currency measure have like fate2
The Democratic control of the Senate is close that
a very modest measure of insurgency makes it pre-
carious. On one side the President has received
what his supporters construe as general indorse
expected that last Tuesdays election would so
strengthen the Administration hand as to bring the
currency bill out of the committee with all the Demo-
Gratis at its back. But nothing of the kind hap
pened, from which it is not an unreasonable infer
ence that there is no. placatng driving the insur
gent Democrats; they will have to be appeased by
concessions to their very earnestly entertained views
OF the matter in. hand.
There is a vacancy in the Senate from Alabama
which lost one Democratic vote Senator Jackson Of
Maryland still clings to his seat and there is seri-
Gus question whether Blair Lee, Democrat has been
legally elected to take his place. whether he get
credentials from the Republican governor of the
State, and whether if he gets them the Senate will
accept them.
If Senator-elect Lee should be refused his seat
Senator Jackson would continue to serve. There is
general agreement on that point. The Maryland
Legislature will meet in January, and could very
promptly pass law providing for special Senatorial
election to fill the Rayner vacancy. But that all
means delay. 1t is two months before the Legisla-
ture will meet; it would have to provide for the
formalities of nomination. and then an interval be-
fore the election Altogether, it is very possible
that Blair Lee will not be seated in the Senate for
three months yet. And it is by no means difficult to
calculate serious possibility that Lees vote may be
absolutely necessary to pass the currency measure.

HE HAD THE IDEA.

An immigrant, taking examination at Middletown,
N. Y, to determine whether he should be admitted
10 citizenship, was asked:
"Who is the governor of New York;"
Charles F. Murphy"
And who is Martin Gynn?"
He is the one they put in after Sulzer was laid
off,"
The papers were duly issued. Which shows that
bur courts getting much less technical than they
used to be and disposed seek out the real merits

CITY MARKET FAILURE.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: A few years
ago, when some well meaning people
imagin ed that the establishment OF q
public market would reduce the cost of
living, Decatur established one. And
the people seemed interested for
awhile, and the patronage was liberal.
BY and by, the twentieth century folk
found 1t no joke to get up early In the
morning and to carry home q heavy
basket with country produce, and they
quit going to market, and as the pa
tronage fell of, of course, the farmers
quit coming to market. And now the
council has ordered the sheds taken
down. The lumber will be found use
full for other purposes, and Decatur is
waiting for somebody else to come
around and tell her how to reduce the
cost of living.

CAMPAIGN STILL ON,

With the advent of real hot sum-
mer weather, the need for the spring
clean up and paint up of the house
and its surroundings becomes even
more apparent than it was a week ago,
when the slogan clean up and paint
up was adopted in Ottumwa. Flies
which had hardly more than put in
their appearance, have begun to multi
ply and only the strictest precautions
Immediately taken will hold them
down. Garbage piles which up to this
time have been nothing more than an
eye sore are now offending the nostrils
and worse yet are breeding flies and
disease germs.
It is never too late to start but at the
same time you can never start earlier
this year. Get to 1t! Take day OF
if necessary. Clean up and paint up
your house and fight disease like you
would any other dangerous foe. Elm
mate the cause. Clean up.

JAPAN ACTING WISELY.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil Japan is
acting prudently in the alien land
question precipitated by California.
Suggestion comes from the land Of the
mikado that the government is not
wholly pleased with the situation and
that it Is proposed to inaugurate q
campaign of education to show that
there is no warrant for discrimination
such as it is alleged California has
inaugurated.
Education Is right. The Japanese
may learn some things In this connec-
ton which will be immensely prohta-
Bile to their country. Californians gen
orally agree that the Japanese who
come there for settlement are not re-
liable. 1t is alleged that they do not
highly regard responsibilities and OBJ
legations. If there Is ground for these
allegations 1t should be removed. Moth
ing but character endures. Nothing
goes so far toward the making OF a
good neighbor as integrity. Nothing
wins appreciation so well as square
dealing and high sense OF obligation
to the dictum that II am my brothers
keeper"
The people of this country are will
ing to be shown. II. the Japanese PEG.
rle who come to this country can show
our people that they are ready to fall
into and practice the spirit OF sdemoc'
racy as manifested by our best, type
of citizens, there will be very little

them. @
