of coinage and currency to
the Federal Government, ever ex-
pected that they and their people
would be ham-strung, handicapped
and forbidden access to the money
their Government made; and be
forced to so to banks and bond syn
dictates for money to carry on their
inter1hAl improvements; it was thor
ouGhly understood that the sole
purpose of conveying to the Federal
Government the sovereign power
over money vas to have a uniform
and just operation and distribution
of money system.
AS a guide to such a system and
protection to the States, they de-
clared there should be "No regula-
ton Of commerce or revenue so as
to give preference to the ports of
one State over those Of another"
When the States made our COnsti-
tuition they refused to give the Fed
eral Government power to erect a
bank, voted such a proposition down,
three times, when introduced by
such men as Robert Morris, who was
then the known representative of
the shipping and commercial inter-
est of the country.
Yet these institutions unknown to
our Constitution, opposed and
fought for fifty years by all the
great leaders of Democracy were
shown by the recent money trust
investigation to be the masters of
all our enterprises, and in absolute
control of our financial and domes-
tic affairs, and in connection with
other criminal corporations had laid
off our country into spheres like
conquered dominions by the ancient
Kings, and had set some Of their
satalites and satraps in control Of
each subdivision or section, and no
State, county or city, and no indi-
vidual corporation, or association
was allowed to do business except
upon the cruel terms they dictated.
Although banks had no home in
the Constitution, they found their
way into our government through
the cunning contrivance Of Alex
ander Hamilton over the solemn
protest of Jefferson, the father and
founder of Democracy. They never
had even q constructive constitu-
tional right to live until after the
Civil War when what is known as
lie 0IGSubdCh OSC10IO1 VI C11S Oo~
preme Court, went out of it's way
to link banks to the issue of green
backs and currency as an element of
sovereignty and proper function
of government.
The principles underlying Mr..
Henry's amendments are SO grand,
so fundamentally just, and provide
such safe, sane and comprehensive
system of relief from present panic
breeding conditions, and open up
such a wonderful avenue of progress
and development that the party will
make q serious, if not fatal blunder,
to vote them down.
They do not disturb the main
principal of an asset currency, but
seek to apply that same principal to
the States, to the industrial world.
The people only have summary
OF the measure as outlined in Mr..
Henry's interviews, and in my judy
ment when they get a full concep-
ton of the measure there will be
ground swell in the demand for it's
passage.
No scofIing and derision that the
money trust and their minions may
thrust at Mr.. Henry will impair the
enthusiasm with which the people
will rally to his support. For they
we'll remember that the same
smooth, smart set met his demand

WATERS ARE TO COVER
AN HISTORIC OLD TOWN
Rising of Gatun Lake Will Oblit-
crate Gorgona, Founded
Centuries Ago.

The native village of Gorgona, which
will shortly disappear under the waters OF
Gatun lake. has been a landmark in the
very old. The name is believed to have
come from the currents in the treacherous
Chagres at this point. as in Spanish gor.
coma means dangerous waters.
From it's earliest times the village has
been d trading place for those who piled
the Chagres. from the Atlantic to the
mountains. but it came into considerable
local prominence after 1880, when the
river was made navigable for boats OF
light draft, larger than canoes, as far as
Cruces. Prior to that, transit had been
Porto Bello earlier, to Nombre de Dios),
all the way by the old paved trail.
With the opening of the Chagres below
Cruces. the trade route shifted to this
forerunner of the canal. Gorgona became
a favorite stopping place for the boatmen
usually, on the up-trip; they rested there
over night. before attempting the severer
currents in the rise to Cruces, six miles
beyond.
Within a few years the "Gorgona road
to Panama, a rough and mry trail
broken through the jungle, became a note.
worthy competitor of the paved trail from
Cruces; during the gold rush Of the mid.
die century its use saved hours for the
eager travellers, and Gorgona came to be
largely the head of navigation. When the
Panama railroad was built up the valleys
of the Chagres and the Obispo to the con.
tinental divide, Gorgona was the base OF
operations for one section. Material and
supplies were hauled up the river in light.
draft barges. and track was laid from the
village, north toward Aspinwall and
south toward Panama

Regarding War College Course.

Secretary Daniels has directed that in
future when naval officers above the
grade Of lieutenant come up for examina-
ton for promotion the examining board

treasurer in July and was candidate
tor sheriff in the primary to be held next
year. according to his friends On July
II Schenck published long article i'm the
Democrat which criticised Lindsay II
stated in substance that Lindsay was at.
tempting to direct the affairs of the board
OF county commissioners. This statement
referred TO the action Of the board al
lowing the new county treasurer $500 for
deputy, following his declaration in the
campaign that he would conduct the Of
flee without help if elected.
The article also stated that Lindsay
mad voted for socialist candidates and
worked for the socialist ticket in the
election last autumn while holding of
lice as a democrat. The Democrat stated
tnat Lindsay was candidate for
sheriff, but supposed he would not run
on the democratic ticket after becoming
a socialist. and stated that it woulu op-
pose his candidacy.
Disowned by Socialists.
1t further stated that Lindsay had
been disoWned by the socialists because
he had failed TO prosecute suit for
libel which he brought last year against
the sheriff. who, he alleged, had accused
him of voting the socialist ticket This
suit was for 10000
Bec:-usc of the fact that Schenck lives
in East Sulphur and Lindsay i'm West

the publication of the objectionable ar
ticle until late yesterday. when Schemes
drove over to the west side Lndsa y
saw him sitting in his buggy and APP
preached. waving a copy of the Demo
crat in one hand and the shotgun i'm the
other He demanded that Schenck not
only retract the statements but literally
cat the page containing the offensive ar
ticle, and when the editor refused Lind
say opened fire.
A crowd collected immediately and
became so threatening toward Lindsay
that he was hurried to Norman and
locked up.

Made a Legal Holiday.

Five years after the first celebration
the New York legislature designated
Labor day as y legal holiday. to fall on
the first Monday in September, and
since that time other legislatures have
passed similar acts. 4 law making the
day legal holiday in the District of
Columbia was passed by Congress in
1894.
Today being half a holiday, means
much to the thousands Of employees of
the government in this city. as they will
enjoy rest of two and A half days.
Their enjoyment will be greatly increas
ed as Uncle Sam today handed each of
his workers a half months pay.
Celebrations begin early Monday morn
ing. although many who spend their
holidays on the river will start this aft
crnoon or early tomorrow morning.
Motor cycle races mead the program
arranged by the Central Labor Union
for it's celebration to be held at Bennins
race track. The first event on the pro-
gram will start at . o'clock. Following
the motor cycle races field games will
be held, while a band concert will be
given from , until u o'clock.
