INVITES A PANIC.

Former Senator Aldrich Of Rhode
Island, who for many years was the
Republican leader In the Senate, and
who is author of the currency scheme
favored by the Republican party,
made a vigorous Onslaught on tho
pending GlassJOwen bill q speech
before the National Conference on
Currency Reform at New York one
day last week. He characterized the
Wilson administration measure as an
endeavor to obtain BY partisan legis-
lation the triumph of the doctrine
and principles which had received re-
peated condemnation of the people at
the polls" He said 1t was socislistic
and revolutionary. His strongest at
tack was directed against the govern
ment note issues and the central gov
eminent board of control. He said
it would mean unlimited currency,
and that this theory was due to the
influence of Mr.. Bryan Finally, he
predicted the worst financial panic on
record If the bill should pass and re-
suit in considerable transfer OF ma
tional bank business to the state bank
form, He said 1t was the first attempt
to give to a government board the ac-
tual management Of a great business.

RULES OF CONDUCT.

Thomas Van Alstyne, an engineer
graduate of Cornell, was killed a year
or more ago in the discharge of his
duty. Among his papers were found
these rules OF conduct which he had
drawn up and entitled my Guide"
They are admirable in spirit and form
and worthy of general adoption:
ITO respect my country, my pro-
fession and myself. To be honest
and fair with my fellowmen, as I ex-
pect them to be honest and square
with me. To be loyal citizen 4
the United States of America. To
speak of 1t with praise, and act always
as trustworthy custodian of it's good
name. To be man whose name car
ries weight wherever 1t goec.
ITO base my exp Citations OF reward
on solid foundation Of service rem
dered. To be willing to pay the price
of success in honest effort. To look
upon my work as an opportunity to be
seized with joy and made the most OF
and not as a painful drudgery to be
reluctantly endured.
ITO remember that success lies
within myself-in my own brain, my
own ambition, my own courage and
determination. To expect difficulties
and force my way through them. To
turn hard experience into capital for
future struggles.
To believe In my proposition, heart
cnu1 n o,.r In nf 1y,,
ism in the presence of those meet.
To dispel i'll temper with cheerfulness,
kill doubts with strong convection
and reduce active friction with IN
agreeable personality.
To make a study of my business.
To know my profession in every de-
tail. To mix brains with my efforts,
and use system and method in my
work. To find time to do every nee
full thing by never letting time find me
doing nothing. To hoard DAYS as a
miser boards dollars. To make every
hour bring me dividsn1s, increased
knowledge or healthful recreation.
To keep my future unmortpa aged
by debts. To save as well as to
earn. To cut out expensive amuse-
ments until can afford them To
steer clear of dissipation and guard
my health of body and peace OF mind
as most precious stock in trade.
Finally, to take good grip on the
joys of life. To play the game like a
man. To fight against nothing SO

deayor to grow in strength a gentle

tory and Not the MuIct Law
When Passing Resolution.

Members Of the w. C. T. u. of Iowa,
having noted the interview of John e.
Craig at Keokuk, respecting a resolll-
ton passed by their convention last
week, asking the president not to APP
point him federal attorney, have call
cd attention to the language of their
resolution which charged against Mr..
Craig that
When mayor of keokuk he allowed
the saloons to open in violation of
law, etc.
Mr. Craig. in his interview, said.
that he went out of office before the
mulct law went into effect so that he
could not have permitted the saloons
to open in violation of law.
The w. G. r. u. members, reports
the Des Moines Tribune, says that
they had in mind the prohibitory and
not the mulct law. Allusion was made
to the muict law instead of the pro.
hibitory law, by the newspapers, and
the mistake was not that of the w.
10. T. U. whose resolution does not
name the mulct law
It is stated that the charge that
Mr.. Craig "is now the legal adviser of
saloonkeepers and violators of the
law, was based on a Keokuk news

MR.. HILL AND THE SOIL.

In the address which James j. Hin
delivered to the members of the
American Bankers Association at
their recent convention In Boston he
turned again to the soil, as he has SO
frequently done in the public ad.
five or six years 1t Is the American
soil and its possib Titles, its vital reIa-
ton to the growth and healthful con
dition of the American people upon
which Mr.. Hill places his reliance
The Washington Herald In noting this
calls attention to the fact that in his
addresses Mr. Hill rarely speaks
about the great railway systems which
he created. But he makes Ii plain
that he looks upon the Eoil as the
productive source OF whatever pros
perity his railroads or othe- Amer
can railroads may obtain. He loves
the soil not merely as practicaf
farmer, but as profound thinker.
He seems almost to be delvins his
hands in 1t, nursing 1t affectionate'y.
He pleads with the American people
to persuade them to turn again to the
soil and to put check upon the dis
position now SO strong to make Amert-
can agriculture subordinate to Ameri-
can manufacture
Mr.. Hill, however, is not alone
among great railway executives In
this view It has been maintainea
with eloquence over and over aga. n by
Howard Elliott, then speaking to the
people of the Northwest: by William
Brown, who is establishing eat
farming stations along the lines of tie
great railroads; by Frank Trumbull
chairman of the beard of the Ches.
peake & Ohio, and by President w
w. Finley Of the Southern Railroad

stantly occupied in concentrating "a
the American people what the oppor
tunities as yet untouched which lie
in American soil, really are and how
greatly the destiny of the people de
ponds upon the acceptance OF those
opportunities
