DISCUSSLS CURRENCY BILL
George M. Reynolds Addresses Min
nesota Bankers.

Duluth, July 11.-George NJ. Rey-
nolds, president of the Continental
and Commercial National bank of
Chicago, spoke before the Minnesota
Bankers association here on THE
Administration Currency BillF and
had both praise and criticism for the
measure.
Mr.. Reynolds said that as a result
of personal interviews with President
Wilson and others at Washington,
charged with the responsibility of
preparing a currency bill, he had
been impressed that 1t is the desire
OF all concerned to devise the best
plan which IL may be possible to en-
act into law.
Mr.. Reynolds pointed out that the
seven members of the proposed fed
eral reserve board would all be APP
pointees of the president, to the ex-
clusion from the deliberations of the
board of bankers and business men
generally, and that this would be
calculated ito place our whole sys-
tenn of banking under the domina-
tion and control of a purely political
board"

LIMITED FACILITIES
OF THE HOSPITAL.

BY reference to the July report
of the Alexandria Hospital it will he
seen that the limited facilities
provided and the lack of room and
beds for hospital to care for the
sick in a city the size of Alexandria
are entirely inadequate, in the event
of an epidemic or during any unusual
period in which disease may be prev
alent.
In all large cities it is usual to pro-
vide hospital facilities, so that there
will be one bed for every 100 inhabi-
tants.
Alexandria with $4,000 inhabitants
PROVES but So hes, an average OF
444 persons to one bed in the hospital
an2 when it is taken into considera-
ton that the Alexandria Hospital re-
ceives and cares for the majority OF
cases in Fairfax and Alexandra
county, with their growing popula,
tions, it can be easily figured out tina
the proportion of beds in the insti-
tuition in this city is entirely made
quate to meet the demands upor

CONDITION OF
THE COUNTY.

The Alexandria County Monitor in
an editorial today declares that it was
unfortunate in using the: word banE-
ruptcy in describing recent issue
of Alexandria county's financial con-
dition." We are glad 10 know that
simply the use of the word was UNI
fortunate, as we have always con-
tended that Alexandria county was
not half so black as it is painted by
it's two newspapers.
We agree with the Monitor that
the county's resources are almost UNI
limited, in comparison to other COM
munities Of the same size and char
acter in the state. 1t has within its
borders taxable property, which if
assessed equitably would,with both a
low assessment and low tax rate,
yield sufficient revenue into the coun-
ty treasury to provide for all man
ner Of plalic improvements and leave
balance on hand.
The Monitor says:
"But those resources for the pres
ent are beyond our reach. They are
made unproductive by an assessment
which values lands lying side by side
at $50 an acre, when held by real
estate Spectator; and at $500 an acre
when held by the builder Of home
However wealthy an individual or q
community may be in potential riches
he is in temporary bankruptcy, il
those riches are not available to meet
his obligations"

Governor Su]zer, of New York, will
form another sad chapter in the po-
litical. annals of the United States
It is the same old story-the desire to
get rich by yenturing in the uncertain
stock market. According to. state
ments published this morning, the
Governor is confronted with serious
charges which he may successfully con-
trovert, but the aspersion which has
been cast upon him will not be eradi-
Gated with whitewash during his mum
dane existence. Few men in public
life have been so greatly admired as
has Sulzer, but the trouble in which
he finds himself seems to have been of
his own making. It was so with a
number Of prominent men in the early
seventies wien the credit mobilier
bomb was exploded in Congress. a
fragment struck the chair of the
then vice-president and the effect, of
the shock followed the latter to the
grave.
The tattooed man, the late James
G. Blaine, was lampooned with the
greatest energy by his political en-
emies while opposing Grover Clevc-
land for the presidency in 1884, and
the cartoons of that day played no
little part in causing his rejection by
a majority of the people of the coun-
try.
Not all who enter the political field
can be charged with questionable ac-
tons, but unfortunately many emerge
with furnished skirts, and the entire
profession is held responsible for their
acts.

district, and Dr.. Charles 3. Munson,
of Arlington district. George w.
Zachary is the tiler of Alexandria

According to the Alexandria Coun-

year, however, his vote was necessary
to dceat Superintendent Hodges de-
sire that all three Of the trustees
whose terms expired be re-electd. Dc

The shakeup was the outgrowtn OF
the discovery" by the board OF

trustees had been paying their super
intend $500 year in addition tt
the s1.2O paid in by State and 1ht
board of supervisors. The supervisors
claim to have not known that this
