Gals of the Wabash railroad here,
early today said it would be impos-
sible for them to reach Peru with a
special train over the Wabash lines
on account of submerged tracks. Ar
dent arguments were then made to at
tempt to send train to Peru by
way of the Pennsylvania, lines to Ply
mouth and thence by way of the Lake
Erie & Western Railroad. Two car
loads of provisions and two carloads
of collins compose the train, which
will start as soon as the train can be
loaded.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 90 1918
A CURRENCY RECORD.

The currency system created by the
republican party during its long per-
iod Of control has established values,
and safeguards of values, that are re-
cognized as absolutely sound the world
over. The dollar is one-hundred-
cent dollar, and no one in recent years
has been concerned lest it deteriorate
or Its security fail At the time the re-
publican party was born the currency
was issued by state banks and was far
from safe or of full worth. Bank
failures were frequent. On hearing of
such an event citizen looked over his
cash on hand to see If he was one of the
victims. The notes of many banks
could be passed only at a discount and
had to be sold by brokers, as banks of
deposit would not receive them at the
face value. Workmen feared to keep
ten-dollar bill over Sundey. Depre-
ciated money was habitually offered in
payment Of bills and counterfeits were
30 common that weekly publications
SdliCQ uCtcClOlS were OH every .CdSH-
ier's desk. The republicans ended this
sort of currency. They taxed it out
OF existence. They saved and strength
ened the gold standard, and by the
national bank system enabled the gov
eminent to borrow at per cent, the
lowest rate ever obtainable by any
country.
3 No doubt some minor currency re-
adjustments are desirable from time
to time, but they should never be in
the form of initiation at the expense of
security. The democratic party has |
record of attempted wild and danger
GUS imitation, and that it will move |
again In this direction of it has an OPP |
portunity is certain. There are signs |
OF 1t now In congress and the councils |
of the party. All that 1t proposes has
a tendency toward depreciation and the
increase of the rate of interest the gov
eminent pays, getting the money from
the people by some kind of taxation.
The annual interest charge on the pub
lie debt in 1900 was 3,545, 100. In
1910 1t had been reduced to $22,787,-
0S4, saving to the people of over
$10000,000 a year. All through this
period the republicans controlled the
presidency and both branches of con-
gress. In the same decade the money :
in circulation in the United States in
creased from $2,055, 900 to $3,276,- {
100000. The increase in national bank
circulation was from 100000, 900 to /
$705, 100000. The democratic party
claims that it can radically improve
the currency laws. In reality the ques-
tton is whether its ignorant and
wrong-headed fooling with the subject
win be injury merely, stopping short
of calamity I

Camden Primaries.

CAMDEN, N. j., Sept 23-With the
residents of Camden affected by "vot-
ing fever" the polls were all but
swamped in the early hours, and party
officials predicted the largest vote in
the city's history in today's primaries
for municipal offices Republicans,
democrates and socialists had full tick
cts in the field. Progressives failed to
complete their ticket in the required
time but they had mayoralty candi-
date in the field. The big fight CEN
tered on the mayoralty Charles H.

to success himself. Other candidates
are John T. Wright, democrat; BOWL

FOR GOOD ROADS
Enthusiasts from Many States Gather
ut Lincoln Today.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 23.-Half
thousand good roads enthusiasts in
Guiding the governors of five states
Illinois, Iowa, Colorado, Utah, and Ne
braska-assembled here today to adop
a program and take preliminary step
. for the establishment of an ocean t
. ocean highway as a memorial to Abra
ham Lincoln. With cooperation ex
. pected from state and federal govern
!. ments, and persistent work, 1t was de-
clared today that the coast to coast
roadway would be ready for traffic II
not wholly completed by the time the
Panama-Pacificf exposition opens at
San Francisco in 1715. The congress
will be in session for two days. 1t was
called at the instigation of George e.
Parisee, of Minden, Me-, working in
conjunction with the Lincoln Memorial
association which has headquarters in
Detroit, Mich, and branch offices at
the various commercial clubs through
out the west Governor John H. More
head, of Nebraska, an ardent good
roads enthusiasm, today strongly urg-
ed the cooperation of all governors.
The aim of the Lincoln Memorial as
sociation is a highway, as smooth as a
city street, and as durable as any high
way constructed to stretch from New
York city, to San Francisco. That por-
ton of the highway between Chicago
and Salt Lake City, Utah, will be the
immediate concern of the conference
which opened today 1t will not be
necessary to stake out new route be-
tween Chicago and Salt Lake City, ac-
cording to today's speakers. Neither
will be necessary to construct COM
plete new road-bed The plan under
consideration, and which it was
thought would be unanimously adopt
ed, will be to utilize existing overland
routes after repairing them and Joining
them into one highway that would be
trails, used by "freighters" before the
days of railways will form the basis
of the western half of the proposed
highway. These are: The Midland
trail from Denver to Salt Lake City,
535 miles; Omaha, Lincoln and Denver
transcontinental route, 636 miles; the
River-to-River road, from Davenport |
to Council Bluffs, Iowa, 236 miles; Tri-
Cities Rock River road from MISSISSIPPI
pi river to Chicago, 1870 miles. The |
greater portions of these old routes |
still are in good repair. However, it /
will cost many millions, speakers said /
today, to weld them into one long road
bed. Local communities along the
road will contribute and contributions
already have been received from scores
If individuals, some of them living far
rom the proposed pathway"

ACROSS THE BIG POND
Bottle Shaped Vessel Being Built t.
Carry Travellers

PARIS, Sept. 23.-From~ Paris t
New York in a bottIe-snch Is the la
test sensation. Under one of thu
archways of the Pont st. Michel, OF
the Seine, two men are working in thu
greatest mystery on the construction
of cylindrical, bottle-like craft which
is to take them across the Atlantic
The craft is of wood and tarred card
board, with strong hoops of iron. II
Is about 80 feet long and III feet
across. There Is a manhole at each
end
The master Of this curious craft
Is turned seventy, and wears a blue
suit with no shirt underneath, and no
shoes His long curls have evidently
known no BARRIERS shears for many a
long year, for they reach to his should
ers and mingle with his patriarchal
beard of white. The old man is a
Greek, Constantine Panjotti by name.
His father was a business man, and
left comfortable little fortune, which
the son devotes to alternating the suf-
ferings of his less favored compa ots
M. Panjotti's wants are few. He lives
on crusts, dried vegetables, and
boiled water, with no salt or butter.
He spends most of his spare moments
in prayer. His only assistant in his
work on the Seine is young work
man.
1.-THE new craft in the Slip" declared
Panjotti, lis only a model Later on
propose to build another measuring
1876 feet and driven by three 18Th. p.
motors which will develop a speed of
100 miles an hour.
THE secret of my invention lies in
the action of the propellors, which
will enable my bottle to revolve on it's
own axis at dizzy rate. The per-
sons inside will be on floor fitted
with rollers, which will remain COM
pletely stable. My pupil and I in
tend to go from Paris to Havre, and
thence to New York.
MY boat" he added, has no keel
If by a shock or any other cause a
leak is sprung, a stroke of the propell-
ers causes it to turn upside down, and
a leak can be repaired without the
least danger"
