|NDORSE WILSON'S
CURRENCY BILL
NINE DEMOCRATS, IN CAUCUS,
OPPOSE PRESIDENTS
FINANCE POLICY.
HOPES FOR EARLY PASSAGE
Majority Binds Boilers to Vote for
Measures Passage-Author Out
lines Big Features as Bill
Relates to Banks.

Washington, Aug. 30.-President
Wilson's currency bill was Endorsed
by the house Democratic caucus by
vote of 1913 to 8. The nine oppo-
nents of the measure in the caucus
are Representative Henry, Eagle and
Galloway of Texas, Hardwick of Geor-
gia, Lobeck of Nebraska, Buchanan
and Fowler of Illinois, Nicely of Kan
sas and Sisson of Mississippi.
After agreeing to the bill the caucus
adopted a resolution by an almost
unanimous vote declaring the bill to
be party measure and that men,
bers of this caucus are pledged for
the bill to its final passage, without
amendment, provided, however, the
banking and currency committee may
offer amendment in the house."
The feature of the session was the
adoption of committee amendment
as a substitute for the section on bank
reserves, which in effect simply served
to clarity the section as originally
drawn.
The measure will be reintroduced
in the house by Chairman Glass and
referred Immediately to the banking
and currency committee, which will
meet next Tuesday.
Glass Hopes for Early Passage.
1t is expected the bill at once will
be reported back to the house, which
Mr.. Glass predicted last night would
pass it within 10 days, many Republi-
cans having indicated their purpose
to support it.
The measure as it stands after adop-
ton by the caucus is summed up by
Chairman Glass, who piloted it
through the caucus, as follows:
There has not been written into
the bill from one end to the other a
single sentence except by the initia-
tive of the banking and currency COM
mittee itself, which has altered in the
remotest degree the essential provi-
sions of the bill, as originally reported
by the committee to the caucus.
1.-THE bill establishes IL regional
banks with capital of not less than
$5,000,000 each, to which national
banks are required to contribute an
amount equal to 10 per cent of their
OWN Capital SUCK anu 10 U0COu1S 1ldUlG
for an additional 10 per cent in case

"This, it is estimated, will give the
regional reserve banks a combined
paid up capital of $105,000,000.
these regional reserve banks also
are made custodians of a large part
of the reserve money of banks esti-
mated at $41O,0O0,000 in the aggregate.
They also receive the government de-
posts, estimated at from $150,000,000
to $250,000,000

reserve banks is to be a federal re-

and control

Naples, Aug. 30.-Porter Charlton
continued the voyage to Genoa on
board the steamer Re dItalia. Charl-
ton remained in his cabin before the
vessel sailed and refused to see any
body. Captain Procaccini, an Italian
army physician, accompanied the par
ty to Genoa. He says he believes
that the cynicism attributed to Charl-
ton after the body Of his wife was
found in Lake Como was not cynicism,
but that the action of a person en-
lowed with only the mind and morals
of an infant.

Just An Umbrella Member
Editorial: Minneota Mascot

On Sunday evening about a fort
night ago man presented himself
at the back door of the little house
we call our home.
He was not clad in Sunday -go-to-
meeting clothes.
He was red headed, sunburnt, un-
combed but not ill hammered.
He was hungry and asked for
something to eat.
We were having our supper and
we invited him to take pot luck.
In ordinary parlance this man
would be called tramp.
We engaged him in conversation
and he told us of the different
places he had visited.
He spoke frequently of different
towns in Wisconsin and we asked
him where his home was.
His answer struck us as ingenu-
Gus and pathetic. 1t was: Il am
just an umbrella member" You
have seen them, these travelling
umbrella members.
Wandering from town to town,
they have no home, no friends,
none of the comforts of life, no shell
ter when the cold winds blow, no
shade when the sun sends its burn
ing rays upon them and not even,
with all their umbrella mending, an
umbrella of their own when it rains.
And still these roaming creatures
are quite content.
They have their troubles, their
worries, no doubt, but we dare say
that these are not to be compared
with the troubles and worries of the
rest of us who are trying hard to
maintain the artificial responsibility
of society's social shamming.
Yes just an umbrella member"
going from town to town fixing
/ broken umbrellas.
Not much of job, you say, for
an able bodied man.
Perhaps not. But just how much
of job are half the jobs that now
engage the time and attention of
our men and women Of respect
ability?
Just compare his work with some
of the gentlemen" of your acquain-
taince and see whether or not his
place in the economy of things is of
much less importance than theirs.
We have so long worked and
thought under false social standards
that we quite forget that our view
point is likely to represent decid-
eddy prejudiced attitude.
The umbrella member is poor, the
umbrella seller is probably rich.
One is respected by society, the
other looked down upon.
The owner of the umbrella factory
may live in a palace of a hundred
rooms. He probably has in his en-
ploy scores, yes hundreds of young
girls whose very lives are being sac
rificed to his greed. They come to
him young, innocent, in the bloom
of health and youthful happiness,
but after few years they have
sewn their life thread into the UNI
brella covers and come out of the
factory like the barren spool that
has fed it's thread into the sewing
machine.
But the umbrella maker is an en-
ployer, he is rich mamie is re-
spectacle"
A few dollars make lot of DIFF
ference, sometimes always.
Our friend, the umbrella member,
did not have the dollars, and so So
ciety does not consider him re-
spectacle"
Yes, and just think of it, he asked
to be given a meal!
Well, what of it?
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1913-07-17

We know what responsibility"
thinks. 1t will say that we should
have have kicked him out Told
him to go and earn his living
work for his meals.
But we don't care a continental
what responsibility says. Re-
spectability' is the only element Of
our social system that dictates the
turning down of hungry man.
The sharing of a meal with a man
who needs it is not considered
crime outside the pale of "respec-
liability
But the umbrella member" was
not as poor as some might think.
True, he probably did not have
many passes to the realm of re-
spectabllity," that is, many dollars
or bank notes, but he had a mipd
and it was we'll stored with ideas.
He conversed with much inter-
est on several subjects during his
brief stay and we found him man
we'll informed -he had picked up''
a fund of information and seemed
to have good idea of the relative
value and importance of things.
And so, even a homeless, wander
ing umbrella member may have that
which some of his more fortunately
as the world judges situated
neighbors do not possess AN active
well equipped brain.
OF course some will say that if a
man has any brains at all he should
be able to make better use of them
than to waste them on old UNI
brella covers.
That may be true. But the fact
still remains that we are continually
finding people occupying places and
positions which we think they
should not occupy.
There is some trait, some streak
be it yellow or red-in each of
us that makes us choose this or the
ether course. We say that so and
so is crazy or that he is off in the
upper story" because he does some
thing that we do not approve of.
Now, the fact of the matter is,
that, we are all more or less off in
the upper story" And in some re-
spect we may all of us do the queer
thing"
The tramp, as he roams from
place to place, is following a bent
of his nature. He is answering the
call of the out of-doors call Of
the wild, if you please-in his
blood.
You have often heard that some
call it respectability'' and the ties
of society have prevented your
answering the call.
There is something so free and
easy and fascinating about the out
door roaming life that he to whom
it does not appeal lacks some es-
sentiai of genuine manhood.
Who has not been struck with
the picturesqueness of Indian life i'm
its natural state? We read of these
children of the forest roaming from
place to place, feeding upon wild
fowl, fish and fruit, and there comes
into our hearts an uncomfortable
longing for plunge into the Wild
You can not deny it; you have
secretly experienced just that kind
of feeling yourself.
You have had the desire but you
have not had the courage to cut
loose and follow it.
The umbrella member has had the
courage.
You have been afraid of losing
your Responsibility" and so you
have smothered your longings; you
have silenced the desire of your
heart.
The umbrella member has thrown
this so-called responsibility" to the
winds and has followed the call of
the wild.
May 1t not be possible, nay, is it
not even probable that of the two
he is the most happy?
