from the flooded territory today

between 700 and 1000 persons are
marooned in gin houses and large
plantation residences safe from the
food, but in-urgent need of food and
clothing.
At all Of the marooned colonies
FOOD today was scarce. a rapid fall
in temperature and a cutting wind
today heightened the suffering es-
pecially in the tent colonies along the
river banks. Nearly all those affect
ed were negroes Three hundred
were gathered at Koppes bridge who
had been rescued with nothing but
the clothes they had on and an oc-
casional quilt.
Tonight at Horse Shoe Bend above

heard the singing and praying of 80
negroes facing death in a rocking gin
house on an island a mile and a half

Houston, Texas, Dec. 7.-Tonight's

with the possibility that a heavp toll
OF drownings reported but not yet

WILSON WANTS BILL
PASSED BY DEC. 70
Hopes Action Will be Smooth to
Allow Christmas Recess.
SWANSON IN DEFENSE.
Owen Measure and Urges the
Hitchcock Draft.
Washington,

Washington, Dec. S.-Senate
changes in the administration cur
rency bill so far will not cause any
protraCted discussion when il goes to
conference with the house, in the
opinion of President Wilson. With
administration leaders, he hopes for
passage by December 20 and smooth
action in conference that will permit
the full Christmas vacation for Con-
gress.
Senator Swanson, one of the ad-
ministration supporters on the bank
ing committee, defended the admin
istration bill in the debate today,
generally analyzing the measure,
which he declared was the best rem
edy under present conditions. He
urged prompt action and praised the
President highly for insisting upon
currency reform.
PANIC OF 1907.
Senator Swanson attacked the CON
ditions of the New York banks dur
ing the 1907 panic and drew Wig
orous protest from Senator O'Gor-
man, who quoted from the hearings
before the banking committee to
show that country banks had no
trouble in getting funds from New
York during the panic.
A general debate over vital fea-
lures of the proposed revision de-
velo, d during the speech Of Senator
Nelso.., one of the Republican com
mittee members who helped in the
preparation of the bill, submitted by
the> Hitchcock faction Of the senate
committee.
Democratic senators forgot party
divisions and drifted over into Re
publican chairs and throughout the
afternoon the debate resembled
committee conference. Senator Mel
son advocated the adoption OF many
of the important features of the
Hitchcock bill and declared the Owen
draft and the Glass bill which passed
the house, were defective.
FOR PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
Public ownership of the stock of
the proposed regional reserve banks
would greatly strengthen the bank
ing system of the country. Senator
Nelson said, by bringing new bank
ing capital into existence. He OBJ
jected to the double liability features
of the Owen bill, as applied to the
stockholders of the regional reserve
banks. Stockholders of local banks
are held under double liability, he
said, and to hold them to that liabili-
ty again in the regional reserve
banks would impose too great bur
den upon them.
With the debate on the currency
bill under way in earnest, Demo-
cratic senate leaders tonight grew
optimistic and expressed the belief
that the measure would be passed
we'll before the Christmas holidays
Some of the administration support
ers even declared they hoped for a
final vote on the bill before the sen
ate adjourned next Saturday night
and it was considered practically GER
tain that Congress would be in a pO-
sition to take the usual holiday re-
cess from about December 20 to Jan
uary 3

The legislature wants to know
a lot of things about the conduct
of the State Game and Fish Com
mission, especially about the let
ting of the SEEMING privilege in
Lake Shetek. That's right and
proper. State boards are ac-
countable to the state for their
acts, and the legislature should
find out all about it. Any at
tempt to screen itself will do
board no good. Let the light
in on every public transaction;
if any transaction will not stand
the light it's crooked.

Samuel Ristey of Minneapolis
has purchased t h Glenwood
Gopher Press, and assumed

Ristey is an experienced news
paperman and will give Glen
wood good paper. It is nearly
year since the owner of the

ward. During the time that has
passed, S. E. Wright, for years
the efficient foreman of the me-
chanical department., has pub
lished the Gopher Press, looking
after all departments in cred
liable manner. Mr.. Wright will
remain with the paper a few
months to enable the new owner
to get his bearings, and will then
go into business for himself.
The Herald wishes both Mr..
Wright and Mr.. Ristey success
in their journalistic labors.

Tnt HOME SCHOOL

On another page The Herald
gives space to a set of resolutions
adopted by t h e Commercial
Club, relative to the HON e
School for Girls. The action of
this civic body, representing the
business interests of the town,
is timely and appropriate. The
function of a Commercial Club is
to further the material interests
of the community in which it ex-
lists. The Girls School is of in
terest to the city and the state.
1t started under favorable aus
pices and should continue under
conditions not less so. The work
of this institution is of great
value to the public and it would
be unfortunate were it to be
hampered by insufficient equip.
ment and appropriations. The
committee named by the Com
mercial Club is composed of
sterling citizens amply able to
cope with the situation. The
legislative committee is made
up of men of character. ability,
and experience in public life.
They can and undoubtedly will
agree on the proper course to
pursue to further the best inter-
ests of the institution. Every
citizen of Sank Centre has now.
and always has had, the welfare
Of the school at heart.
In this connection it may not
be out of place to say that The
Herald has jus t received a
marked copy of the Red Wing,
Republican containing lengthy
editorial criticising t he Home
School. This article is so unfair
and contains so many unreliable
statements that The Herald de-
'clines to dignity it either by re-
producing it here Or by qaoting
from it. The -allimus of any at
tack emanating from that source
is patent.

The Minnesota legislature will
probably take the full ninety
days allowed it by law to COM

behind it the record of a good
