.athering a decidedly more conser-
,ative and conciliatory spirit than
lad heretofore prevailed. but there
was announced notwithstanding By
me Of the bankers Of great inhu-
ence that an attempt to enforce the
currency bill now being considered
1v Congress would bring about the
most dannabIe contraction Of the
currency ever seen IL any country.
This illumination should not be ac-
.epted seriNusly. I'll this explosive

y he bankers I'd account should they
attempt such all undesirable. unnra-
-onabIa and arbitrary proceeding.
IN their deliberations there was a
suggestion Of an offer 10 assist the
President III the drafting Of a new
bill. which if rendered Mil no doubt
be received with all due courtesy
but will be respectfully and en-
phatically declined.
The trouble with the bankers, the
men who have for years controlled
and dominated the finances OF the
United States, have not vet realized
the new departure il the currency
bill which is Democratic measure,
to place the control OF the
finances III the hands Of the people
and not at the dictation Of the
Money Trust and the Financial
Kings.
AS already explained in an issue
Of the Caucasian Of recnt date, un-
der the Glass-OWens bill the inter-
locking directorates are eliminated
and the board Of control which is to
be appointed by the President will
dominate the whole situation IN the
place Of the money changers Of New
York. Indeed, the Democratic cur
rency BILL which has the endorse
ment Of President Wilson. is the op-
posite Of what is desired by the
Bankers Trust and is what is eX-
pected BY and demanded in the in
terests and for the welfare Of every

A TalkatiIe DinlOInat.

New Orleans States: That Presi-
dent Wilson should feel disposed to
summary dismiss Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson is not surpris-
ing. The sentiment Of the country is
that the ambassador is entitled to
such treatment. It was said Of Tai
leyrand that he could speak seven
languages and keep silent in all Of
them, but Henry Lane Wilson
proved his inability to keep silent ia
even one language, when he re-
turned to Washington on a serious
mission, and this proved him unfit
for his position. But his latest break
is more inexcusable, for he has,
While on the pay roll Of the United
States government, spoken il a, dis
respectful and sensational manner
Of the British government.
It is evident that Henry Lane Viii
son is greatly peeVed because bis
game in Mexico has moi been sue
cessful, since he is doing much to
discredit his government and EN-
barrass the President. III this LII
shows a remarkable lack Of sense
and propriety. 1t is apparent now to
the whole country that he was not
the man for the important post he
held Many will be inclined to be
lieve that he is largely to blame for
the fact that the Mexican situation
reached the serious point it has. He
mlsrepresented the government
while in Mexico, and now seeks to
add to its difficulties by unbridled
talk at home.

The X-ray Dress.

BY an edict of the court the wear
ing of x-ray dresses in the street
has been enjoined in Los Angeles,
Cal, but as the chief Of police has
said he found present laws made
quate he would recommend the
passage of an ordinance specifically
forbidding the public appearance OF
women in diaphanOus ralment.
Is not this a restraint Of the per-
sonal inalienable rights of women?
Is Womans liberty to be crushed?
Why should not woman be per
mitted to exploit her legs through
an x-ray if so inclined and when
men are on the alert to view the
sight?

TRYING to Find Uses for AiIanthus

From the Forest Service, T. S. De
partment Of Agriculture: Excelsior
can not be made from any or ali
woods. According TO the popular no
tion it is product of wood waste,
but this is not usually the ease. For
example, the forest service, which
has been experimenting to discover
uses for ailanthus sometimes known
as paradise tree or tree OF heaven,
finds that it probably will not make
good excelsior.
There are great quantities Of this
tree in the east. and especially III
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys,
where it has been naturallzed from
specimens introduced from China
until it is now more abundant than
some of the native species. It's
wood has been used in small guam
titles for boxes and crates, but no
other use has beeu reported. Inc
Indiana State Board Of Forestry and
the forest service co-Operated N
securing a small consignment for an
factory where it was found
that ailauthus does not work up into
good excelsior because the product
was not springy and the strands
tended to break and crumble under
pressure. This may have been due
in some measure to the fact that the
wood has been kiln dried, and fur
ther experiments will be undertaken
70 see whether air dried material
after six months seasoning will be
more satisfactory.

Seven Questions About Your Boy

Monroe NeWs-Star: How have you
treated your boys during this crop
making season, Mr.. Farmer?
/. Did you let them have Saturday
afternoon off for base ball Or fish
ing?
2. Did you encourage them to join
the Corn Club?
3. Did you give each one a patch
Of corn oracotton or tobacco for his
very oWn-the money from the sale
to be his?
4. Did you encourage them to read
farm papers, go to the farmers in
stitute, and learn in other ways that
farming is as much brain work as
muscle work?
5. Are you going% have ethem
s;say sisa of ascjss5igr, scseai? the next sss-
s. Have they any pure bred hogs
Or calves to look after and be proud
Of and exhibit at the parish fair?
Z. And most important Of all, have
you made your boys work lighter
By getting him improved imple-
mcnts instead Of the labor wasting
Old fashioned kind? The Western
farm boy rides While cultiyating two
sides Of the row at once. Has your
boy walked laboriously to cultivate
one side at the time-taking the
same time to do half the work, and
the work much harder at that?
Win your boy away from the idea
Of going off to town to be some
body's clerk. Make him your part-
ner, and get him heart and soul in
terested in farm work. The idle boy
Of the cities is the peril Of our civ
iliZatiOn, and the working, healthy
farm boy is the hope Of America. Il
YOU get your boy interested in BET
ter farming, better stock, and better,
labor saving machinery, life will
take on new interest and farm work
a new zest for both Of you.

IF the reader has never seen such q
charge he can form little conception
Of lis aWe-fnspiltlne fury. Imagine
Yourself looking down from GettNs-
burg's heights upon the open. wide
spreading plain below. where five
thousand horses are marshaied III
battle line. Standing beside them are
five thousand riders. armed booted
and spurred, and ready TO mount.
The bugles sound the mount, and
instantly five thousand plumes rise
above the horses as the riders spring
into their saddles. In front OF the
respective squadrons the daring
leaders take their places. The flut-
tering pennants or streaming guld-
ons, ten to each regiment, mark the
left of the companies. On the oppo-
site slope Of the same plain are five
thousand hostile hOrsemen clad IN
different uniforms, ready to meet
those in countercharge. Under the
ten thousand horses are their hoofs,
ironshod and pitiless, beneath whose
furious tread the plain is soon to
CULVER. Again on each slope OF the
open field the bugles sound. Ten
thousand sabres leap from scab-
bards and glisten in the sun. The
trained horses chafe their restrain
ing bits, and. as the buele notes
sound the charge, their nostrlls iii
late and their hanks swell in sympa-
thetic impulse With the dashlnS

through eager ears, sabres flash and
spurs are planted in palpitatlng
flank. The madly flying horses thun-
der across the trembling field, filing
the air with clouds Of dust and
Whizzing pebbles. Their iron trimmed
hoofs in remorseless tread crush the
stones to powder and crash through
the flesh and bones Of hapless riders
who chance to fall. As front against
front these furious riders plunge
their sweeping sabres slasilng edge
against edge, cutting way through
opposing ranks. gashing faces.
breaking arms and splitting heads,
it is a scene Of widest war, a Whirl-
