FATE OF CURRENCY,
NOW BoThERS WILSON

Washington. Oct. j.-1he s!tua-
tion confronting tn. administration
currcny bill In the senate has become
4 matter OF deep concern to President
Wilson and members OF the senate
who favor early action on the bill.
Four members OF the senate bank
Ing and currency committee have
tried to devils. u plan for Fastening
action on the hill. but they have not
decided finally what course to fol
low. II the full committee refuses to
report the Diil back to the senate.
ChairmaH owen and Senators
Pomerenc, Hollis and Shafroth have
participated in the conferences.
which began soon after the visit of
Senators Owen and Sbafroth to the
white house early In the week. Il
is understood that Senators Hitch
cock. O'Gorman and Reed. the other
Democratic members of the senate
committee. hav. thus far refused to
agree to any plan of immediate ac-
tion on the bill.
Several tentative plans for forcing
the measure on the attention of the
senate have been considered by ad-
ministration leaders. These include
proposal to discharge the senate
committee from further considera-
tion Of the bill thus bringing it be-
fore the full senate. said the alter
nate possibility of having a Demo-
cratic caucus take up the problem.
In both cases, however, the
friends OF the administration bill
recognize that sentiment is divided
on the Democratic side over the pro-
visions OF the measure. It Is be-
lieved that an exodus of senators
from Washington will follow the
signing of the tariff bill and that
any contemplated action involving
the full Democratic strength of the
senate will be withheld for several
weeks.
Tho senate committee today con-
tinued to hear members of delega-
tions of small bankers of the South
and the middle West discuss the ad-
ministratiOn bill. Edwin Memories
of Meridian. Miss, and W. f. Caleb,
of San Antonio, Texas. endorsed the
general purposes of the bill, but sug-
gested a number of amendments to
make the proposed system more at
tractive to the small country banks.

PRISON SCHOOLS.

That even prison life is yielding to
modern humanitarian impulses is in
dicated in the number of prisons
that are maintaining schools for the
benefit OF prisoners. Out of SO prisons
in the United States and Canada re-
porting to the United States bureau of
ing schools, 10 day schools and 8 cor
these a civilian head teacher is in
charge. Altogether there are q even

and trade subjects are taught.
In arguing for schools in prisons,
DR.. A. c. Hill Of the New York state
education department, VINO has pre-
pared a bulletin on the subject for

at once; second, he may be slowly

third, he may be placed in favorable

TRIM THEM DowN.

While The Argus is inclined TO feel
that the majority of the voters of Rock
Island is disposed to look with favor
at the municipal commissions bond
proposition and may be relied upon to
sanction a reasonable issue, the esti
mates, amounting to 100000 are toe
high.
The commission realizes this and
will trim them down. This should be
done. 1t will have to be done. The
estimates are over 100000 too high.
The people will not support a blan
ket proposition, either. The amount
OF each bond and the purposes fol
which desired should be specifically
designated in the ballot, so that tht
citizens may vote for or against eacl
particular proposition.
The Argus believes the bond issue
taken in its entirety, If properly helC
down. Is both justifiable and essential
but the people should have the oppor
tunity TO pass judgment on each ant
every proposal and should know al
about each and every one.
Trim them down.
