CURRENCY REFORM EARLY.

Governor Wilson has announced that he will
cali congress TO meet on April LIST. Originally
April 18th set as the tentative date fer the
convention Of that body, but the necessity for
early action the tariff made an earlier date
desirable and finding that congress can be ready
for action on the first of the month Governor
Wilson has decided in favor of that date
The universal desire for early action on the
tariff is founded In the knowledge that business
must be upset to some extent by the agitation OF
the question and that until producers know
exactly what rates their products are to pre-
vail they will be inclined to LET up in their
operation. with the result that the market will
be dull for season. Everything win wait on
the tariff bill. TO shorten this period of unrest
1t has been deemed advisable to begin the work
a. BOON as possible after the inauguration of the
new president The sooner the new tariff bill
goes into effect the shorter the period of de-
preston and the quicker the recovery
In other words. 1t Is desired to perform the
operation before the patient becomes weakened
By suspense As in every other operation, how
thetic is currency reform. Early disposition of
the tariff is desirable to shorten the period Of
uncertainty; early disposition of the currency
question Is desirable to establish confidence while
the operation is in progress Our currency laws

HOOPS, MlLLlONAIRE'S SON, .
BOUND FOR ASYLUM
Harold Fabyan Hoops, known to
those who make up the night life of
Chicago as Hoops, my DEAR" the
gayest of the gay, has turned his back
on the white lights and this morning
is on his way to the Elgin Insane Asy-
lum.
Hoops, who is the son of William
H. Hoops, the Wabash avenue mil
ionaire, has had a stormy time of it
during his twenty-five years on earth.
His friends were not surprised
when he was first arrested for fiirt-
ing. tits just like him." they all
said. But his father stuck to him
and got him out of the jam.
Then Harold began to hit the high
road He achieved the distinction of
knowing every waiter in town by his
first name. But Harold fell from
grace again and was arrested for
passing a bad check. And father
failed to come across with any aid.
But Harold never whimpered. He
went out to the Bridewell and served
three weeks. And Supt. John Whit
man claims he was a very good pris-
Oner.
Sunday night young Hoops was ar
rested for the third time. The elder
Hoops then went before Judge Owens
and asked that his boy be sent to an
asylum.
"Why do you all these wild
things?" asked the judge.
81 guess I'm crazy, your honor"
the boy replied. 81 often have bad
spells. Sometimes as often as eight
times year.
Then two doctors said he was in
sane, due in part to the liquor habit.
Judge Owens then asked the boy
if he would go to the asylum. Hoops
hesitated. Then fnaIy-"I'n CO." he
almost whispered. And two husky
bailiffs led him away.
