SENATE PASSES
 LIQUOR MEASURE
Bill Regulating Interstate Shipment of IntoXicants Adopted by a Viva
 Voce Vote

Washington, Feb. 10-The Sen- ate tonight, by viva voce vote, passed the Webb liquor bill al- ready passed by the house, as a substitute for the Kenyon Shep- pard bill.
 The Webb bill would prohibit shipments of intoxicating liquors from one state to another when intended to be received or sold in violation of law of the state to which the shipment is made.
 Friends of the legislation DOW will seek to have the house con- cur in the Senate bill, which diff CTS from the bill passed by the house only in number. Should that be cone, the bills would not be considered in conference, but the measure passed by the Sen- ate will go to the president for signature.
 The substitution of the Webb bill for the Kenyon-Sheppard bill came at the close of prolonged debate and was by viva voce vote, no roll call being demand ed.

NERVOUS GIRLS

Most persons who live in large cities work too hard and play too hard. The result. an exhausted nervous system, is pitiful en ough in middle age, but it is tragic in the young. Nature never inten- ded a young girl to know she has any nerves. And yet we con stantly hearing that some young girl has broken down. Over study gets the blame much often CT than too much amusement, but in most cases there are several causes at work: necessary school work, unnecessary and silly dis sipation, and an inherited ner- vous system that is feeble.
 A mother who has herself be- come a nervous bankrupt cannot bequeath strong nerves to her daughters. She must learn that only t h e wisest management will bring them to healthy Wo- manhood at all.
 The strain of getting mod ern education is all that m t young girls can stand, School duties ought to occupy almost all the time that Is left from absolut- ely necessary rest, sleep, and re taxation in the open air. If the girl adds parties and dances with their late hours and late suppers, she sdepletes her reserve force rapidly, and some degree of ner- vous breakdown is sure to follow. She is fortunate whose mother is old-fashioned enough to think 1t wrong for schoolgirls to t a k e part in that sort of dissipation.

THE "WHISKEY BILL"
Rushed Through the House Monday Morning By
 Vote of 73 to 21.

The House of Representatives presented an interesting scene Monday, when the Senate bill af- fecting the liquor interests of the State came up for final passage.
 The galleries were filled and al- most the available standing room on the floor was Occupied by in- terested men and several women.
 The bill, wise heads" say, means Statewide a prohibition after Dec. 31 1913, when it is to become operative. It was intro duced in the Senate by 19 Senat- ors and shot through that body to the House where it finally pass sed, amid cheering, Monday by a vote of 73 to 21.
 The measure is now up to the governor for his approval. He is in Washington and is not ex- pected back until after Wednes- day.
 It is not thought that acting Governor Oldham will take up the bill, unless Governor Robin son does not return before the five-day limit allowed the execut- i've for passing on bill.
 The measure forces prospect i've saloonists to obtain the ap- proval of a majority of h e white adults" in a given con- munity, to a saloon, and bars negroes from signing.
 The constitutionality of t h e measure will probably be tested.

George R. Vending, Jr., Is Named
For Post At Buenos Aires.

The Louisville Times says: Dispat-
ches from Washington tell of the ap-
pointment Of George r. Vending, .Jr.,
as Vice Consul General to the Argen.
tine port of Buenos Ares. Mr.. Wend-
ling is recently quite well known here
as the fiance of Miss Jean Bruce Halde-
man, eldest of the three charming
daughters Of Mrs. John A. Haldeman:
and niece of Gen. William B. Haide
man, Bruce Haldeman and Miss Isa-
belle Haleman. @
Mr.. Vending is now connected with
the Fidelity and Deposit Company of
Maryland, and during his term OF ser
vice with that great corporation has
held many important assignments Of
duty, his most recent charge being the
field work in the State of New York.
His business record, and the fact that
he is the son of the famous lawyer and
lecturer. George r Vending, Of
Charles Town, w. Va. makes his APP
pointment particularly interesting in the
East, while his coming marriage with
Miss Haldeman, and the fact that be

of Buenos Aires to assume great local
interest.
The marriage of Miss Haldeman with
Mr.. Vending win take place some
time in the early fall, it IS said, and the

The Blue Sky Law.

Among the many sins of on1is-
sion and Commission perpetrated
by the last Legislature seems to
have been the enactment of the
so-cal1ed Blue Sky Law, which
is being denounced by the Board
of Trade and pretty nearly every
other business organization in
the State as inquisitoria1 and de-
structive of stable and crooked
enterprises alike
The excuse that it has been
found to work we'll in Kansas
doesn't hold water, for there the
law has been modified so as not
to shackle honest corporations.
Already many sound concerns
have withdrawn from West Vir-
ginia as a result Of this i'll advised
piece of legislation.
'Caveat Emptor'' is a sound
business maxim. Not that reas-
enable safeguards should not be
provided to save the credu1ous
SPECTATOR from crooked schemers
But this piece of1egislation looks
like paternalism run mad.

Seeks Immediate Action.

Moreover, as / understand it, Mr..
Wilson has not tied himself in hard
knot on this particular meaure- He
doubtless thinks it is a very safe, and
sound measute-he has had something
to do with it Eut he probably would
like to see it improved, if it can be,
and probably it can be. All.that he
demands is that there shall be immed-
late action upon upon what he calls in
his scholarly way this 'exigent reform
If it is bad. let us all get together and
make it good. Everybody says that
currency reform is absolutely necessary
to the welfare and safety.o the coun-
try.
This is the view that will be taken
by thousands os persons all over the
country. There is money enough to do
the business, but under the old system
it has not been found available. This
is what Mr.. Wilson means by his sug-
gestion that the money must be mobi-
lized. Eminent financial men who
have been here since the present Ad
ministration began have protested that
currency reform should go with tariff
reform. This is what Mr.. Wilson
meant when he asked the Congress
yesterday: ''Shall we hasten to change
the tariff laws and then be laggards
about making it possible and easy fo1
the country to take advantage of the
change?
Will the President be able to force
through currency measure at the
present session? He has determined
upon it, and that means great dea,
in the present state of public feeling
and the general disposition of the ma.
jority to have no other will than his,
HE knows his crowd, and has very
de6nate idea of what he wants to &C.
complish, even if he do not know ex
actly the best way to get at it. He

The One Point Indispensable.

No currency legislation should be-
framed which is not acceptable to bank
ing and business Judgment" says the
Chicago Tribune, which then proceeds
somewhat gratuitously to belaber Mr..
Bryan.
Banking and business Judgment is en-
titled to a full say. Wilson asked it for
counsel months ago and some of the
leaders in banking and business didn {
respond in good part, but tried to get
up hurdles in the form of panic hints
and threats.
But the business of banking is more
than the business of bankers. It is the
business of everybody, for every man.
{ woman and child is affected when mon
=ey is tight, credit pinched and business
choked. Hence the say of the bankers
isn't by any means the only say with q
right to expression in peoples gov
eminent. -
No man and no small group Of men
any longer have the irresponsible pow
er to tighten credits aud choke business
when they are scared or peeved if we
are to have in this country freedom and
justice.
Such power has existed in private
hands. If it must exist, only safe
place for it is in public hands, RESPONSE
BILE, through the ballot box, to the
American people.
Bankers and business men, Of course,
should be consulted, and they are being
consulted freely. 1t is to be hoped.
also, that they will be satisfied. which
they can be if they will put aside the
idea OF special privilege and take pot.
luck with the rest of the folks.
Bot upon one point there can be nc
faltering orscompromise, for it would
be fatal.
