RATES OF ADVER TISING
TUPELO. MISSISSIPPI, JULY A. 1918
CURRENCY REFORM.

The urgent necessity of reform of our
currency system which was presented to Con-
gress by message delivered in person by Pres
ident Wilson before the Senate and House of
Representatives is recognized in all business
circles. Notwithstanding the great volume OF
money brought into this country from our crops
there is stringency in the money market which
presages panic unless immediate relief is CIV
en- through favorable legislation.
The House committee on Finance headed
by representative Glass of Tennessee has al
ready bill which Congress will consider during
the special session. Instead of one central
bank, controlled by the banking interests of the
country, this bill provides for fifteen central
banks which shall be under the direction of
governing board appointed by the President.
The placing of this great financial power in the
hands of the President is considered by the
conservative business element of the country as
dangerous power to be used at the caprice of
of some man not always prompted by desire
to serve the best interest of the country.
Under present conditions, however, it is
within the power of few men controlling the
leading financial institutions of the country to
bring on a money stringency whenever they
can profit by such conditions There are two
evils presented in our system which this bill
should avoid.- In older countries such as Eng
land, France and Germany, it is impossible for
any set of financiers to bring about panic.
With their great central banks these countries
control the flow of money and direct it in such
channels as conditions demand. Not only are
they able to help their own people but they are
enabled to help each avoid conditions that bring
on po,icc With orr cOn1plny system of state
and national banks it is a difficult undertaking
to adjust Our currency laws so that the great
financial centers cannot dominate the money
market The present financial system has
proven Inadequate and the country awaits the
announcement of all the features of the new
bill which Congress will be called on to pass

THE REUNION AT eETTysHuac.

The reunion of the survivors of the Con-
federate and Union armies which has been in
progress on the historical battlefield of Gettys-
burg marks the so anniversary of that fateful
contest From July 1st to July 4th the Con-
federates battled against superior numbers and
were finally compelled to retreat to the South.
The result Of this battle foretold the fate Of the
Confederacy.
The bringing together of the survivors of
the two armies is the first national reunion of
the Confederate and Union soldiers. It's pur-
pose is to deliberate all lines of sectonalism and
to cement once more the bond, which existed
before the late unpeasantness. On the field of
battle the batted- scared veterans recount the
deeds of valor of their command and forget in
the enthusiasm of their loyalty to a reunited
country the causes that once made them foes.
Time has meowed their hearts and in the
sunset of their lives they are permitted to meet
as friends upon the blood-stained field of their
former deadly conflict.
few years more and the last survivor of
that memorable struggle will be gone, but their
deeds of valor shall always find place in the
history of reunited and peaceful country.

The Defence Oi Sassa as Tea.

good for the boold; not remedy for
the liver; not an invigorating slim

Joplin, hale and hearty at 80, "fit as

life, good health and youthful feeling
to association from his youth with the

The Imperial State seems to be up
against it on her bonds, or rather up
against the money trust, 3 IL per

Why not raise the rate and make it 3
per cent? Somebody is talking OF
paying a St. Louis firm something
near $50, 600 to place the bonds.
With our state officers, the owl-like-
wisdom wise legislature, and our
business-like Capitol Commissioners,
all drawing good salaries to attend to
the States business. and then pay a

ceeding. At the rate the new CaPi.

pay for it, and save the interest
Why not put the bonds with the
school certificates and pay interest
on them1 In this way the interest
could be added to .he sinking fund

for the work as it proceeds. and also

The Ami0blo Public.

The amiability Of the public is
shown in marked degree by its be-
havior in reference to official miscon-
duct. The reformer realizes tremen-
dous difficulty in arousing the masses
OF citizenship from their amiable
ietlargy. Do a city's public servants
indulge in extortion or extravagance ?
Morgan County republican., 1913-02-06

Postmaster General Hitchcock ad-
visees the reduction of parcel post
rates, and an increase in the weight
limit. He is getting sensible just at
quitting time. The rate must be re-
duccd and the weight limit increased
and then business will hum.
Morgan County republican., 1913-02-06

Rather than have the task OF turning
them out OF Office, rather than be
the taxpayers who consti-
tute the dear, good public, pay extra
taxes, give the consent of inaction to
the robbery and are silent. In this
regard the amiability Of the public is
not vicious merely, but criminal as
we'll. Mal.administration of public |
affairs continues through the conniv-
anceeof the public. Wherever there
is wrong-doing there is laxity in ad-
ministering law or corruption in
collection or expenditure OF the
revenue, each citizen is in part re-
sensible. We cannot hide behind the
public's amiable mask. Scandal in
city Office leaves taint upon every
inhabitant of that city. We are all
partakers of each official crime. The
smooth, well-fed contentment of the
public does not excuse or mitigate the
offense. The while the Roman
rulers robbed and ruined the ancient
republic they kept the populace in
good humor with games and festivals.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
And the public often is Nero-like in
this regard. Let US alone. We will
support our political servants in
luxury and idleness, we will allow
them to have their own unlawful way
rather than lose our soft seats at the
fireaide or turn our contented smile
into frown. When any citizen
submits without protest to any species
of injustice he becomes accessory to
that injustice. II he pays an exorbi-
tant charge for any service, he be-
comes thereby an ally of the extor-
toner. If he rebukes not, by voice
and vote and influence the machine
and its methods, then he becomes,
by virtue of his silence, sharer in
promoting any inquiry for which the
machine is responsible. The amiable
public has many political sins ior
which it must be held to account
The steals which came about because
OF the public's amiability are more
directly in evidence in the cities thar
in the country, because it is in the
cities the public is the more aggre-
gated. That the first city was built
by the first murderer is true. Blu
the final vision of humanity is re.
deemed and glorifed city. "Ant
there shall in no wise enter into it any
thing that defileth, neither wha:soeve
worketh abomination or maketh

sorrow nor crying, neither shall ther
