LOCAL BANKERS IN
FAVOR OF MEASURE
Glass Currency Bill, Several
State, Will Meet Popu-
lar Demand.

Formulative and nebulous as the
Owen-Glass currency bill. now pend
ing in congress, stands, when prop
erly modified and amended to be rea-
sonably satisfactory to the banking
and business interests of the country,
it will be the best currency law the
nation has ever had was the opinion
expressed by some local bankers to-
day.
Senator Owen and Representative
Glass drafted a theoretical bill as near
practical as their investigation would
permit, these bankers stated, and the
cooperation of financial interests all
over the country is expected to aid in
making it the safest and most protec-
tive measure of it's kind ever brought
before any congress.
They believe the administration at
Washington is earnestly desirous of
making law which will efficiently
serve the interests of the entire coun-
try, Incorporating into the banking
and currency system of this country
proved principles, which will provide
the most ample credit facilities with
greatest safety and consistency based
on gold. which automatically adjusts
its volume of trade requirements. They
say the object of the bill is to obtain
the greatest stability for American
commerce, thereby assuring continuity
of employment for the laborer and
favorable markets for the producer.

STORY OF RUTH is
THEME FOR RUSSELL
AT CHAUTANQUA

Professor Russell had a large audi.
ence at 1:45 yesterday afternoon when
he delivered his address "The Story
of Ruth" Prior to his speaking, the
Lotus Glee club sang for a half hour.
Their songs were varied and the so
los, duets and quartet selections were
all well received.
Professor Russell named the various
romances and love stories in the Old
Testament of the Bible and then began
with the story of Ruth. He said there
was an uneven development in the five
verses but that it had definite theme
and was worth more than history.
The story shows the utter devotion
of one woman for another. Various in
cidents In the story were discussed
and interesting points of the story
were well developed by the speaker.
At the conclusion of Professor Rus
sells talk, Miss Maud Willis gave a
reading on the Fortune Hunter"

.KEANEPOHL DREAMS
OF PARK REVENUE
Wants Glen Miller Conducted
Like Private Amusement
Place.

a special enabling act. TO be passed
by the Indiana legislature. permitting
the city of Richmond 10 build and op-
crate an amusement park. is favored
by B, A, Kennepohl. president of the
board OF public works. as the proper
means of caring for the future devel-
opment of Glen Miller.
kennepohl says that with permis-
sion obtained in this way the city
could construct an amusement park
fashioned after the revenue produc-
ing resorts controlled by private cap
ital in large cities OF the country. Mr..
Kennepohl states that all of such
kind of parks are huge financial sue
cesSes. Should the city own and op-
crate places of this kind together with
the concessions that are usually sold
10 private individuals Mr.. Kennepohl
thinks that sufficient revenue could be
raised in very few years TO not only
pay off the bonds that would be neces-
sary to build it but to also furnish a
tidy sum annually for the improve
LiSh' Vi otAe1 poi Oh lHe PARK.
Under present arrangements the
amusements and other concessions OF
the park are held under private lease
which will terminate September l.
1915. Charles Fetzer, the owner OF
the lease. states that under the short
life of the leases allowed by the city,
1t would not be a paying proposition
for private individual TO invest much
money in amusement features. II is
understood that the board of public
works on the other hand. does not
favor granting a long lease to anyone
as future conditions relative to the
park and the city cannot be so ac-
curately foretold as TO make clear
the terms of an equitable lease for a
long period of years.

as queen and his appearance as prime
minister is last. IL is really the story
of Esther, but the two are so woven
them. The story is not the biography
of Esther, but the account of how her
people were saved. There is far more
caprice in this story than in any 9TH
er in the Old Testament. for the king
himself is governed only by his i'm
pulses and all of his actions turn on
that feature of his character. But the
actions of Esther and Mordecai turn
on the strength of their characters,
and their merit and faithfulness win
even in a court where intrigue and
caprice reign. There is an instant in
the story that we feel that the situa-
tion is pathetic, when Esther goes 10
the king TO plead for her people, but
the momentary feeling of pity turns
to admiration for the heroic action
Story Becomes Dramatic.
The story becomes very dramatic
and interesting at this point Esther
goes before this changeable king and
secures favor by her personal charm
and for two days the climax is sus-
tanned Esther, who waits until she
sees that she has won a place in the
regard of the king that is higher than
Haman, and she strikes the blow that
wins over Haman. This Book of Es-
ther is warning to the world of the
terrible menace to human brotherhood
that lies in race prejudice"

STUART DENOUNCES
SALOON BUSINESS
Alcoholism Worst of the Five
Great Diseases, Speaker
Declares.

George r. Stuart, one of the most
popular lecturers on the Chautauqua
platform, appeared before a large au-
dience last night and delivered his lee
ture, I'm Tune With the Age"
The age in which we live is an age
of progress" he said I'VE are going
some. Since | was born almost all of
the modern inventions which are re-
sponsible for the progress of the age
have been made, and l have lived to
see great progress and advancement
Never before in the history of the
world has there been so much senti-
ment for the brotherhood of man. AL
most all of the fraternal organizations
nave come into existence in the past
fifty years. Never has there been
such a great value placed on human
life. There are just five great diseases
which destroy the people Of the earth
They are smallpox, tuberculosis, dph-
liberia, typhoid fever and alcoholism.
and we have found the cause of these
diseases and are stamping them out,
all but one, and that is the worst, the
destroying more lives and wrecking
more homes than any of the others"
Wrong Ways of Money Making.
There are just seven ways of max
ing money wrongfully-train robbery,
burglary, counterfeiting, grating, kid
naping, white slavery and the saloon
business. | say that the man who
takes your dollar and leaves nothing
in your pocket is not as bad as the
man who takes your dollar and gives
you bottle of liquor in return. The
latter is seven times worse than the
ordinary robber, for he takes your
dollar and gives you that which ruins
your body, clouds your. mind, Injuries
your reputation, destroys your char
acter, units you for work, kills your
love for your family and damns your
soul. All of these other wrong ways
of making money have been made un-
lawful by our government and are be-
ing stamped out, but the saloon bust
ness is f1ourishing under the flag and
doing more harm than all of the 9TH
ers together. One of three things is
true, our laws are inefficient, our Off
GERS are not doing their duty, or the
question is bigger than the govern
ment. If our laws are to blame we
should make new ones, if our officers
are unfaithful we must elect new
ones, and if our devil is bigger than
we are we had better begin to cut his
tail off. The time is not far off In
our present age of progress we can
not long endure a business so degrad-
ing and running The saloon must CO.

LECTURES UPON BOOK OF

A Strange Picture.
at seems strange. the picture OF
the Jewess in the Gehtile court, and
yet the loyalty of Esther and Nor
decai and their simple, faithful, up
right character in such surroundings
are all the more impressive. The plot
of the story is more artistic and com.
plete than that of Ruth. The plot
itself is not impossible. but some OF

of Esther is more nearly drama than

Mrs J. Redding Cole the we'll

his friends encouraged him to go on

sleeping Cromwells and defed the

a wonderful brain. At the age OF
twenty-three he wrote that wonderful

suggested a financial system, by es-

of six hours duration at the constltu-
