THE CURRENCY CRISIS.

November is one-third gone, and it is perfectly
clear that currency legislation is going to be
passed before the close of the special session. Moth
ing short of the adoption of closure rule would &C
complsh that and closure rule will not be adopted
Some good and trusted friend of the President
would do we'll, first, to inform himself in detail as
to the attitude of men-Democrats and Republicans
alke-who want currency legislation but insistently
oppose the Administration measure, and, second to
lay the full facts before Mr. Wilson.
The overzealous supporters of the Administration,
in the press and the forum, have taken an unfor-
tunate attitude. They have assumed that the men
who are fighting this bill in the approved, official
form, actuated by discredtable motives; by par
tisanship, malice, perhaps the desire to serve
sinister influence that is kept dscreetly in the
background but is insinuaed to be wall Street or
the money power"
There is huge mistake. Every day that this
kind of innuendo is indulged it becomes more diff
fcult to bring agreement. The basis Of mutual con-
fdence which compromise must be erected is
being destroyed.
1t is not true that the opposition to the Admins
tration in detail is inspired by bad motives.
1t is inspired by sincere purpose to accomplish the
best results. 1t is sustained by men whose public
records do not justify such nsinuations against them
men VINO nave SOOo, clear Drains, courage, anu pa
triotism. Moreover, they are the kind Of men who
stand so we'll at home that effort at clubbing them
into line will be futile.
When Republican Administration jammed
through an Adrch tariff bill against the protests of
Republicans of this type, it signed its own death war
rant When it tried again. year later to pass bad
railroad measure against their opposition, it failed,
and suffered not only humiliation, but also exposure
of its real purposes.
President Wilson can ILL., afford to split the Demo-
cratic party on lines similar to those that marked the
Republican schism of 1909 and 1910. There is no
good reason why the currency measure should pro-
duce such result yet there is very real danger of
it if the party caucus is TO force strictly party
lineup.
The currency measure cannot be passed at the
special session. That means that there will be time
enough for fair consideration for good-natured
and earnest discussion of its last details.
very little inquiry will demonstrate that there
is good majority of the Senate-Democrats and Re-
publicans together-in favor Of currency measure
that would represent no humiliation to the Admins
traton, and that would satisfy the country. That
jory can be induced to work together and pass the
legislation; but it cannot be cemented together by
denuncation or nsinuations of wicked
motives.

Bob Richmond's Ruse.

Quite some years ago Bob Richmond
was a member Of the Louise Dempsey
Burlesque and Speciality Company.
There came a time when he wasn't.
1t happened in Cleveland. The ghost
tottered, and finally fell. and it was the
comedians intention to have the land
lord of the hotel where he and several
members Of the company stopped also
fall for the story that the perform
ers had prepared for him. But he
wasn't that kind of landlord.
One of the ladies emptied her trunk
and put all her clothes on. and AFRO
gantly passed the boniface. He was
suspicious but uncertain. So he spared
for time by holding conversation with
the female of suddenly acquired EN-
bonpOipt.
Suddenly something struck him on the
head. 1t was Bob Richmonds valise
that he was carefully lowering to the
ground from the floor above. AS it
struck the landlord the alarm clock,
which was one OF the principal inhabi-
tants of the satchel. went off. So did
the rotund female escape. Likewise MIR.

But the valise, clock ct al, are prob
ably still in Cleveland.

The late Burt Haverly was famed
for his unfailing good humor. Burt
mad a friend some years ago who was
inclined to lead him (Haverly) along
mathis that tended not to increase his
bank account, nor to elevate him in
his chosen calling.
Mrs. Haverly had warned her spouse
against this undesirable friend. and
the comedian promised his wife that
never again would he seek converse
with the bibulous one.
MIR. Hayerlys promises, made in
good faith. were. however. very much
like fresh eggs; made only to be
broken. 1t wasn't long before the
twain were seen standing in front of
the old Aulic Hotel at Thirty-fifth
street and Broadway discussing earn
estIy Oh some interesting subject, Mr..
UaVerly saw Mrs. Haverly coming, and
of course. knew WHAT was coming.
So as soon as that lady came within
earshot. he shouted:
"I,dn't my wife say I shouldn't talk
to you? Didn't she? Now run away

THE RIGHT SOAP FOR BABY'S
 SKIN

In the care of baby's skin and hair, Cuticura Soap is the mothers fa- vorite. Not only is 1t unrivaled in puriey and refreshing fragrance, but its gentle emollient properties are usually sufficient to allay minor irri- tations, remove redness, roughness and chaflng, soothe sensitive condi- tions. and promote skin and hair health generally. Assisted by Cuti- cura Ointment, it is most valuable in the treatment of eczemas, rashes and other itching, burning infantile erup- tions. Cuticura Soap wears to a wafer. often outlasting several cakes of ordi- nary soap and making it's use most economical.
