The Currency Issue.

There seems to be still some doubt
about the program respecting currency
reform at this session. Some of the DEM
ocratic leaders are urging action. As they
see the situation, the matter Is pressing.
a new tariff measure, which will require
many new adjustments of business, is
nearing enactment and the business world
is fiuttered. Here and there sail is being
taken in Shippers are searching the
horizon with strong glasses. Hence the
conclusions of the advocates of early
currency reform, who reason that such
legislation would prove a brace against
a possible widespread disturbance.
more flexible currency, they assert, would
give confidence.
But another opinion is advanced. This
is that so wide a division exists as to
what should be done that the bringing up
of the currency question at this time for
debate in Congress would, instead of
quieting. increase apprehension. The
business world. made familiar with the
divergent views of both financiers and
lawmakers. would be stunned afresh and
its last condition made worse than the
first. Tariff difficulties plus currency diff
ficuties might cause much disaster.
a point upon which both sides are
agreed is that if the currency matter is
taken up at this session, action, if at all,
cannot be obtained until fall. The tariff
has the right of way in the Senate, and
debate will not begin until July. When
it does begin it is certain to be warm, and
for that reason it may become protracted.
II does not seem possible to call the final
roll before the middle of August, and
some experienced legislators regard the
middle of September as likelier day.
If then, assuming that the House has
previously passed a currency bill, the
Senate is not free to enter upon the is
sue until fall. 1t would be idle to expect
a law under two months, and maybe not
Until December. A currency bill could no
more be hurried through the Senate than
a tariff bill. In fact, there is reason to
believe that the currency problem will
prove knottier than the tariff, and tax
the resources Of both houses of Congress
10 the utmost to legislate when the time
comes.
But. even with the present currency
laws defective and needing improvement,
the government would not be helpless in
q stress. Secretary McAdoos announce
ment as to his powers as they now exist.

larger ma jority was cast against 1t,
due. it is charged by the suffragists. to a
desperate concentration of effort by GER
tain interests which fear the admission
of women to the ballot. Plans are laid
for the submission of amendments in
practically all the remaining states at
the next elections, and that some Of the
states will adopt them is regarded as
assured. Meanwhile determined efforts
are being made to bring the question to
an issue in Congress. before which res
olution is now pending for the submission
of an amendment to the federal Consti-
tuition granting women full suffrage at all
national elections. This resolution has
received the approval of the Senate
committee on woman suffrage. and it is
expected that it will be laid before the
Senate for action at the present session.
probably when the tariff bill has been
passed and while the houses are waiting
for the action of the conference commit
tee. Inasmuch as success has been
scored in so many of the states, it may
be that Congress will prefer to wait for
the individual states to act upon the ques-
ton before proposing to the legislatures
to write this change into the federal Con-
stitution The adoption of the amendment
now pending before Congress would. of
course. be the short cut as far as national
suffrage is concerned, but meanwhile the
women are steadily winning the right to
vote not only at national but at state
elections. whereas the adoption of a fed
eral amendment would not necessarily
admit them to vote upon local questions.
Taken altogether, the American women
are scoring a remarkable victory in the
direction of their full enfranchisement.

What's the Matter With the Boy :?

From the Detroit Free Press.
We are giving considerable attention
to our girls these days, investigating
their wage with view to ascertafning
its relation to immortality and urging
means for their protection. But the
case of the boy seems to attract less
notice. And one who is down town
evenings must observe the number of lads
who saunter about in groups, aimlessly,
it would appear, finally drifting into the
movies or the vaudeville houses, COM
ing out in an hour or SO ready for any
thing that promises amusement, because
it is too early to go home" They are
being educated on the street and the
education is in things that degrade.
There are many things that the boys
are doing today that are demoralizing
and debasing them. There is much mis-
doing that the public never hears of.
much SHINING that is breaking mothers
hearts There are many evils that the
law does not and seemingly cannot pre-
vent. Thing of schoolboys who have
already contracted the cocaine habit
and others whose stained fingers indicate
constant use of cigarettes. How do
children obtain these things. the sale
of which is prohibited? What penalty
Is too severe for those who create and
crafty such habits for the sake of
gain?

irresponsible Husbands.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The young husband who prefers the
poolroom to his home, and the company
of gamblers to that of his wife and chill
dren. is not rare in Chicago. The pool
room habit acquired by the boy sticks
to the father. When such an individual,
however. gambled before he had under
taken family responsibilities, he alone
suffered. AS a married man the loss of
weeks wages often means that his wife
must apply to charity for aid. There is
at present no law upon the statutes under
which such an irresponsible husband can
be effectively prosecuted and made to take
care of his family. The law under which
action must be taken against him is that
of wife abandonment But this man. can
not be said to have abandoned his wife
He merely neglects her.

The Philippines.

Speaking before the Philippine Society
in New York Tuesday night. and taking
his well known stand against early in
dependence for the islands, former Pres
ident Taft said:
Il would suggest to the democratic
party that it now find out just what
conditions are in the Philippines, and
let them send out impartial witnesses
there, and / am willing to stand by their
verdict, and then see if they don't de-
eide if it is not wiser to go on with the
beneficial course We have taken.
This agrees with The Stars suggestion,
several times made. The democratic
party, now in full control of the govern
ment should not act without the latest in
formation. authoritatvely obtained. about
conditions in the Philippines. AS seeker
Of power the party played the game. 1t
INDUCED in generalities and some tall
proclamations on a number Of subjects.
But in its exercise of power it should
move with caution and strictly according
to the facts. The day of generalities is
past That of particularities is here.
Not only should an investigation be
made. but Secretary Bryan is the man
above all others to direct the work, and
in person. He is not, of course. an i'm
long advocated the policy which Senior
Quezon. the Philippine delegate in Con-
gress here, is urging on the administra
ton.
But hitherto Mr.. Bryan has spoken as
private citizen, a candidate for Pres
ident, an agitator, If you please, and his
deliverances were based upon theory and
hearsay. Now he is in office, under heavy
responsibilities, and Office has a SOLDERING
effect. A visit to the islands alone or &C.
companied by friends of his own choosing
would afford him an opportunity to study
the question from practical standpoint,
and to advise his chief in the White
House.
Mr.. Taft speaks with the confidence Of
a man who has been there He knows
his subject. He has had a large expe-
rience with the Filipino people. He liked
them, and they him. When he left them
to take charge of the War Department
here they manifested great admiration
of him and expressed much regret
at his departure. He is still their friend
and well wisher. and believes that it will
be to their interest to remain longer
much longer-under the control of the
American government.
AS Congress will not consider the Philip
pine question at this session, there would
be time enough before the regular ses-
sion for Mr.. Bryan to make his journey,
take good look around under auspices
favorable for investigation. and return
primed with the latest facts. and maybe
some new views
