New Kind of Commercial Paper?
1chicaeo Record Herald


1t can not be considered entirely I'M
reasonable to expect from congressman
who take it upon themselves to intro
duce bills for the reform Of our bank
ing and currency system that they
should know what they are talking
about. And at this particular time.
when the business men of the United
States are pleading with congress FOR
immediate relief from our antiquated
and inadequate currency system, 1t Is
discouraging to find that some OF our
Representatives in Washington do not
know what they are talking about.
For instance: Representative Henry,
who has attempted to place new OBJ
stacle in the path Of real currency re-
form by introducing an independent
bill on the subject, says in statement
accompanying the bill; Wall street
bankers are demanding legislation on
the currency question SO they may
make a market for leir commercial.
paper (much Of 1t based on rotten Sc
curities) and have currency issued on
their assets.
Commercial paper is not based on
securities, either sound or rotten. 1t -
based on the credit of the merchants
and manufa ctures Of the United States
who give their commercial paper notes
for money borrowed at the banks to
help carry on their business. Is that
credit rotton? The banks in or out Of
Wall street have not found it SO.

Have You a Good spilIway?.
Minneapolis News.l

A dam built without spillway
means backing up of impounded
water until the pressure becomes lr-
resistible and the dam is swept away
with destruction below.
In way man is like a stream OF
water He has about so much energy
which must somehow find vent. Ii he
dams up the natural flow of his animal
spirits without providing spillway he
.akes the risk of inviting a ruinous
food
You have often seen how chap who
in sports or play, who figures as the
comInunity's shining example of near
perfection in conduct and habits. who
is SO i:rerroachable as to seem almost
inhuman. suddenly goes all to pieces
yielding in a rush to appetite, passion
or greed.
One OF these instances came into
view in western city recently. he
was a high official in bank, the SUI
perintendent of a Sunday school,
leader in good works and man OF
whom it was said that he had no bad
habits, never took a vacation and was
always dependable. One day he disap-
peared. And with him went the saw
ings of many of his friends, and by his
fight two homes were wrecked.
He had builded his structure OF char
acter without a spiliway. An unusual
flood Of temptation came and the dam
gave way, leaving ruin in It's wake.
Get u spiliway.
This doesn't mean that you have TO
be vicious or extravagant or sinfully
sef-.ndulgent. 1t means simply that
you reed fad. hobby, side inter
est something to which you can turn
when you wish to relax the tension OF
you1 ordinary work.
An automobile, if you are well-to- do
enough to afford one; a garden; a bali
and hat-anything which supplies a
wholesome channel for the outflow of
surplus energy or serves as safety
valve will do.
But get something of this kind and
throw YOUR leisure into it. The old
Adam in you can be drained off harm
lessly: but the dam without spillway
is CanSerouS

money II he were on the inside Of it.
1t is expensive to smoke and il bad
for the liver. 1t costs reputation to
gamble or curse or get oreide. Lazi-
ness is an expensive habit. But the
thing that pays least OF all is a per-
petual crouch. A constitutional crouch
is the costliest thing on the face Of the
earth. 1t doesn't get you anything but
it loses everything worth living for,
A man can't have religion and
crouch at the same time. He can't run
die shoestrings and sell a pair a day on
that sort of business capital. He can't
play any game on earth and play it
we'll with a crouch. There isn't any
thing man can do with one Of those
things except be disagreed BILE and start
an argument that killing isn't murder.
A rattlesnake carries a perpetual
crouch. People take a long stick knock
the snake on the head firmly and suf-
iciently as to the purposes Of the act,
cut off the rattles and wear them for
rheumatism. But so far nobody has
found any sort of use for the human
being with rattlesnake disposition.
Maybe il is because he hasn't any
rattles. And at any rate there are laws
which frown on proceeding against him
with long club and willing spirit.
Perhaps, when it is all over and the
goats and the sheep have been herded
according to program there will be
bunch of mavericks left who do not be-
long in the sheep pen and whom the
goats will buck against receiving. Ii so
they will be those who snapped and
snarled thru this life with a perpetual
crouch.

Acn ANcE FOR REFORM.

There still remains on American
railroads several nuisances. One is
the smoking car which is permitted by
many railroad arrangements to emu
late the hog pen on the farm. Another
and most annoying nuisance is the
GRANDDAUGHTER.
Considered individually this butch
err Is usually a shrewd young fellow
looking for business. Nevertheless ne
Is an annoyance. The travelling man
Auds him a convenience because the
travelling man knows how to deal with
MIN and he knows the travelling man.
It Is the ordinary passenger whom he
leases beyond endurance. the woman
with baby or two under whose eyes
he thrusts his fruit basket and who
must quiet the kids some way or other
unused to travelling who must with
stand his assaults and hold argument
Is to whether he ought to buy the
cheap book sold at q big price, and
morn serious todn all, IL is Otlen the
easesthat the young girl travelling alone
finds't the smart young train butcher an
annoyance. if not an annoyance d
/ danger.
Z Some train butchers drive a secret
trade in literature which would result
In q year or so OF seclusion for it's
vendors were the proper authorities
( to handle the case. 1t would be unjust
. TO make this assertion general. The
dissemination Of forbidden books and
pictures is not common thru this me-
s alum, but it is altogether too common
ct that.
Sising the matter up. pro and con,
! the best thing to do with the train
butcher Is to abolish him and set him
aoing work more adapted to his abil
ities and more in line with the con-
-Venience and comfort OF the public and
IN conformity with the debt Of the
railroad company to the passengers
who pay it money.

A VARIABLE QUANTITY.
lcedar Rapids Gazette.l

The Marshalltown Times Repuoli-
can, commenting upon the varying es-
Inmates as to the cost Of operating an
automobile. adds this query:
But why doesn't some actuary com
pile fairly representative figures on
what it costs to own and run a $1,000
automobile?
Probably for the simple reason that
there is Just as much difference IN the
cost of operating thousand dollar cars
as there is in the cost Of operating
anything else in which human tastes
are such an important feature. PROB
ably, also because it is very hard TO
estimate the amount of money tina.

tomobile is a good deal like running
home or a business. Some 1anallles

me INSANE IMPULSE TOWARD no1oRlE1,

Not long ago a crazy woman threw
herself in front Of the racehorses at
the finish OF q great race in England
and had her brains dashed out before
thousands OF Mortified. spectators. Yes
.terziay another crazy person followed
her, example and died under the horses
heals.
Thase suicides mean nothing more
than other suicidal freaks of the in
zane. They attract attention as other
morbid and abnormal acts which result
In tragedy and horror. One Of the
suicides imagined she was giving her
life for the sufragist cause. The other
had some insane idea that his act
would break up horse racing as a
pastime. But back OF the desperate re-
solve Of both and their desperate ex-
ecution of their purposes was an abb
normal craving for notoriety. That
was the main moving spring Of both.
Unbalanced men and women do pc
culiar and desperate acts under that
impulse. Three presidents of the
United States have been assassinated
because degenerate and unbalanced
men were nerved to the act by pas
sion for notoriety.
When men and women become con-
stunned with q desire for notoriety they
and others are in danger. It is not
only In such matters as open murder
or public suicide but in minor matters.
The differeacs between the man who
holds monkey dinners. the woman who
endeavors to attract by shocking pub
&c attention thru her manner or her
dress is distinctive more than diff
ferent.
Some way or other we seem to nave
lost the definition between being noted
and being noticed. There is as much
difference between note and notoriety
as between fame and Ill fame But the
world seems to be forgetting that.

ABSORBING MINNESOTA.

Some of the people residing in the
southern tier of counties in Mime
sofa want to be made part Of Iowa.
They figure it would be worth SIC
an acre to have their land in Iowa in
stead Of in Minnesota, and they are
right about it. Have you noticed that
when southern Minnesota farm Is
advertised for sale the public is re-
minded that it is only fifteen miles or
twenty miles from the Iowa line? 1t
is worth some thing to be even within
a days journey of the state where
crops never fail. So far as the Free
man Tribune is concerned 1t would
welcome the southern tier of Mime
sofa counties to Iowa. II we get that
tier it would not be long until the next
tier, which would then be on the line,
would want to come into Iowa. AND
after the present second tier was ao-
mitted then the next tier would want
to come in and it would not be many
years until the entire state would be
part of Iowa. Great scheme ana IL

AS BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN.
TSicuX City Journal


Some men don't vote and others
ought not to-" says the Davenport
Times. but that isn't a valid argu-
ment against manhood suffrage. is
it," No: not an argument against
manhood suffrage. 1t is something in
support of manhood suffrage. The
point with the Times, it is suspected
relates to womanhood suffrage, and it
is Well TO admit that some women
would not vote and some of them
ough, not to vote if they had the
chance. 1t has been urged, as the
Times may have noticed. that under
the weight of responsibility imposed
by the elective franchise the women
would be diverted from the frivolities
of society. There is no better war
rant for such supposition than is al
forGed by the example Of men, either
as principals or spectators. ABSORBED
