REJECT CHANGES
URGED BY BANKS
Amendments Proposed at Chi
cago Meeting Called Dis
ruption of Reform.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 26.-Presi-
dent Wilson will veto any currency
bill sent him by congress carrying a
provision for central bank Of con-
troll of issue of currency or any of the
other cardinal features of the recon-
mendations of the bankers conference
in Chicago.
The president considers the sugges-
tons OF the bankers descriptive of the
entire currency reform plan of the dem
ocratic party and in direct antagonism
to the provisions of the Baltimore con-
vention platform which demanded
equal treatment for all bank custom
ers.
Congressional friends of the presi-
dent carried this idea of the presi-
dents position on currency legislation
to the house democratic caucus yes
terday and it was injected into consid-
Grafton of the GLASGOW currency bill
and senate tolerance of amendments
to which agreements had been given
for consideration.
The bankers recommendation will
not De COnSlueT6u Dy the mouse unless
they are presented by a republican
member, and then they will be bowled
ovr with as little discussion as posi-
| bic. The bankers will make their fight
in the senate. House members would
not even discuss the bankers amend
ments yesterday. Chairman Glass and
| other members of the house banking
and currency committee agreed in con
domination of the changes proposed.
Representative Henry, leader in the
fight for an agricultural currency, was
deserted by HIS followers and saw
them vote for the following compro
mise provision, which was written into
the currency bill without a dissenting
vote:

WILL NOT OPEN

OFFICIALS SETTLE CONTROVERSY
OVER RUSSELL ADDRESS.
Opening of Fair Will Be Deferred One
Day, Owing to Protests of Local
Clergymen-0fficials Make
Statement.

Memphis.-Pastor Russell will not
speak at the Tri-State Fair on Sunday,
Sept. 81, for the reason that the direct
ors of the fair have reconsidered opening
the fair on that day, and the gates of
the great institution will be closed tight
ly. So tightly, in fact, that no one will
be admitted, ether by paid admission or
by pass.
The invitation to Pastor Russell. ask
ing him to speak at the fair, has been
withdrawn, and the officials of the fair
have issued signed statement regarding
the tempest in a teapot.
Pasor Russell will, however, probably
conduct meeting here on Sept. 81 on
his own initiative.
When the meeting with the local pas
tors was held at the Business Mems
Club, +. d. Fuller stated that Pastor
Russell opened the Illinois State Fair
last year and spoke to large crowd.
A telegram was sent to j. X. Dickerson,
secretary, at Springfield, H., asking him
what effect the presence of Pastor Rus
sell had on the fair attendance and re-
ceipts.
Mr.. Dickerson replied that in 1911,
with w, ]. Bryan as the speaker on the
opening Sunday of the fair, the receipts
were $952.
In 1912, with Pastor Russell to open
the fair, the receipts were SASH.
The officers of the fair association is
sued lengthy statement as to their
reasons for withdrawing the invitation
to Pasor Russell.

State Secretary of Iowa w. c. T. U
Tells Liquor Men Just What Peo-

At meeting of the Iowa Retail
Liquor Dealers association in Cedar
Rapids, the state w. C. T. U. CORE
spending secretary contributed to one
of the daily papers an address of wei
come" which, according. to the local
press, was one of the chief topics Of
conversation among the liquor men.
1t said:
1t Is quite usual in greeting a body
to enumerate its accomplishments and
tell of its worth and standing. Cour-
tesy to the individual somewhat en-
harnesses US here. Shall we greet you
as those who wreck homes, debauch
manhood. prostitute womanhood, dis
grace and impoverish childhood? Shall
we greet you as those who place upon
the taxpayer the heaviest burden in
caring for the results of your traffic?
Your position In community Is
quite peculiar. We fail to find city
that enumerates among its advantages
its saloons. The commercial club of
our city advertises our manufactur-
ing plants, our churches, our schools
and colleges, but never once have the
80 saloons Of the city been urged as
a reason for industries to locate
here
Any business is judged by its re-
suits. Some time. since Cedar Rapids
had manufacturers week. Every
business in the city save yours ex-
hibited its wares. Yet your ambition
is to be classed as a line of legitimate
business. The pump manufacturers
and wood finishing concerns exhibited
their contributions to comfort and
esthetic pleasure. The clothing manu-
facturers gave evidence Of prosperity.
Did the saloons Of Cedar Rapids use
their windows or were those Of other
places loaned to exhibit their finished
products? No, you find these in the
penitentiary. where SIS per cent. of the
inmates are your graduates. Seventy
per cent. Of the insane are others.
Ninety per cent. of pauperism Is an
other class. The great burden Of
private charity is due to the saloon.
All. no, gentlemen. you are not well
coined to Cedar Rapids by its homes
and social interests. Not
many more times will you be accord
ed welcome to any city. The Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union,
with men and women of sober, earnest
purpose, is steadily working for that
day when the God OF heaven shall say
to you, 1T is enough" You know,
with us, that the time is near.
In the name of humanity. in the
name of our God, the 1000 members
Of the Woman's Christian Temperance
union of Iowa lead in this protest
against your welcome to any city Of
the state.
