SENATE DEMOCRATS
OPTIMISTIC OVER
CURRENCY OUTLOOK
Leaders Confident Measure
Will Be Passed Before the
HOlidays-Debate Well
Under Way

Washington, December s.--With the de-
earnest, democratic Senate leaders to-
night grew optimistic and expressed the
belief that the measure would be passed
well before the Christmas holidays. Some
of the administration supporters even de-
clared they hoped for final vote ON the
bill before the Senate adjourned next
Saturday night and it was considered
practically certain that Congress would
be in a position to take the usual holi-
day recess from about December 20 to
January s.
The currency debate progressed rap
idly today and cleared the atmosphere
materially. Senator Swanson of Virginia,
made lengthy argument in support of
the administration bill, and by a criti-
csm of the conduct of the New York
banks during the 1907 panic drew replies
from Senators OGorman of New York,
and Weeks of Massachusetts. Senator
Nelson of Minnesota. one of the republi-
cans of the banking committee. began
"a speech in support of the bill presented
by the republican wing of the committee.
He will continue tomorrow.
At tonight's session Senator Weeks
reply to Senator Swanson resulted in
free for all discussion of the measure on
both sides of the chamber.
No disposition to delay or unduly pro-
long debate was eviderced on the re-
publican side. \ belief that the regular
holiday recess would be taken was made
apparent on the House side by the pas
sa ge of the usual resolution for the pay
ment of House employees on December 20
instead of December 81
Forget Party Provisions
Democratic senators forgot party dl-
visions and drifted over into repub-
lican chairs and throughout the aft
ernoon the debate resembled COM
mittee conference. Senator Nelson ad :
vocated the adoption of many of the
important features of the Hitchcock
bill and declared the owen draft and
the Glass bill, which passed the House,
were defective.
Public ownership of the stock of the
proposed regional reserve banks would
greatly strengthen the banking sys-
TEN of the country, Senator Nelson
said, by bringing new banking cap
lital into existence Eie objected to the
double liability features of the owen
bill as applied to the stockholders 81
the regional reserve banks. Stockhold-
ers of local banks are held under dou-
BILE liability, he said and to hold them
to that liability again in the regional
reserve banks would impose too great
burden upon them.

VISION OF VULTURES.
Discovery Made by One Bird Taker
Advantage Of by Fifty.
rom the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
Compared with our human eyesight, the
vision of birds of prey is marvellous. The
bird student is often amazed at the i'm
mense- distances at which hawks, eagles
and vultures can distinguish objects. 1t
is a well authenticated fact that vultures
do not find their food by the sense Of
smell.
Many years ago Charles Darwin expert
mented with the carrion birds Of South
America, and found that SO long as the
food was concealed from sight, no matter
how putrid and ill-smelling it was, the
birds failed to detect it. Other observers
have reached the same conclusion.
l was detailed for service with some
troops that were moving along the Mexi-
can border. One evening we camped
near small stream on the western slope

A Reform That Failed.
the New York World.

From the New 1Ofk Norlu.
The trifiing matter Of cost threatens the
worthy scheme to provide every child in
the public schools with free soap and
towels. Soap, 1t seems, can be had very
cheap, according to the philanthropic
member of the board of education who
Matched the idea. But with separate
towels for each pupil and two towels
apiece every week, the first bill for sup
plies would run anywhere from $4,000 to
500 600, according to the quality OF the
towels As the towels must be washed
as well as the children's hands, there
would be laundry bill of $2l7,00O or SO
q year.
That is always the way. Beneficent re-
forms perish at the hands of cold reason.
If it did not cost anything to make the
world over in a hurry We could all have
sanitary perfection and social justice and
progressive politics to our hearts con-
tent, and everybody overnight could be
made clean, healthy, happy and well reg
Mated by means of beneficent law.
Some people are always ready to spend
other peoples money, but the other peo-
pie insist upon reasonable economy.
That's the misfortune. So much could be
done If everything were made free
