Aid For Currency Bill

In the words of the Springfield

and intelligent observer, the back OF
the opposition" to the Glass owen cur
rency bill. insofar as 1t was selfish
and virulent, destructive and reac.
tionary, lis broken" even in the

while suggesting q few amendments,
expressly and emphatically says he
prefers the bill to any halfbaked al
Tentative, and John v. Farwell. pres.
ident Of the National Citizens league,
who Is satisfied that the bill, though
defective in some particulars, Is es-
sentially sound and designed to
make commerce instead OF specula-
ton the basis OF our currency sys-
tenn" Is as significant as it is encour-
aging to consistent and fair-minded
advocates Of banking and currency
reform.
A New York paper that has fercely
attacked the bill does not hesitate to
and. with one change, ought to pass
at this session"
The changed attitude OF certain
critics Is symptomatic. II Is real
lied that the alleged defects Of the
measure are not fatal. and that It's
adoption would stimulate business
and remove obstacles to prosperity.
No piece Of important legislation Is
ever born perfect: time and expert

most Of the controversies regarding

established without opposition? Has
the course of commerce law and rail.
road regulation been smooth one?
Let the senator's further amend the
bill under sincere and competent
guidance. but let them understand
that the mere wreckers and obstruc-
tionists are beaten, and that the bus
mess community demands and ex-
poets a currency reform act here and
now, and not in the dim future.-Chi.

Farms

Farms may be roughly divided into
two kinds-the gentleman's or non'
paying farm and the common or gar
den farm. When you have saved UP
enough money to keep you in your
old age always buy farm. Besides
getting rid OF your money, death VIII
come as a welcome relief-thus you
will accomplish a double purpose.
The abandoned farm Is form OF en-
tertainment INDUCED in by many to
whom faro, horse racing and Wall-st.
are not exciting enough. Besides,
Just as in human beings, no matter
how low an abandoned farm may
have sunk there is always some good
in ii.
To rehabilitate an abandoned farm
and put II on it's feet Is great pleas
ure. First, remove all the plumbing,
replacing il with gold-plated pipes
and a belt line Of shower baths; after
this has been finished will be time
enough for you to imagine where the
water works are You will usually
find them pleasantly situated at the
other side of the county seat. BY go
ing to the local political gang and
carrying one or two elections you Will
eventually get a stream Of water run
ming into your pipes which will ex-
cite the envy of every one within
reach OF your megaphone.-Life.

Secret Opposition Menace
To Popular Government

OF $4,000 and passed In nearly every
precinct and certainly In every coun-
ty In the state.
The submission of the amendment
for direct legislation In Nebraska was
characterized by the same tactics on
the part OF opponents of the measure
that have been exhibited In every
similar contest. Although both Re-
publican and Democratic parties were
specifically pledged to this amend
ment, the passage through the leg
islature was secured only after a
long and bitter fight In which the
public service corporations. the LIQUOR
interests, and others formed q power.
ful lobby, and succeeded In emascu-
lating the amendment by requiring
petitions amounting to five per cent
of the voters In each OF two.fifths of
the counties OF the state, and q total
number which shall be Is per cent of
the total number of votes cast at the
last general election-in practice q
total of about 10000 signers--which il
almost an impossibility to secure.
These are the things which the
new league proposes to fight, and at
its meeting here II will invite every
philosophical citizen to become a
member OF Its propaganda by the
payment OF nominal membership
fee of 81 year. A form of organixa.
ton will be decided upon. officers
elected, and place selected for the
next annual meeting.
