Public Roads and Currency Reform

fuDllC hOduS anu Su' 'SlSJ ''S'o''''
The people are in great need OF
public roads anu currency reform, ana
both measures are being discussed in
congress, and by the people IN gen
eral.
There are many ideas and opinions
among the people as to how these
measures can be accomplished, so as
to conserve the best interests of the
people.
VII give an example that will il
lustrate the first solution of both
measure.
Say that the state of Oklahoma de-
sires to build many public roads, ana
that it requires ten million dollars
to build the roads, and that the state
has not got the money. The state
could issue ten millions in 4 per cent
bonds. and deposit these bonds in the
United States treasury, then nave the
United States treasurer to issue ten
million, dollars in interest -bearlnS
notes; and send these notes to the
state treasurer to be used in paying
the expenses of of building the roads.
This would put this national currency
into circulation among the people;
and it would be free from any private
interest or control. Four per cent
of ten million dollars is four hundred
thousand dollars. This would liquid
ate the states Indebtedness to the
nation in % years, and the state would
not owe anything. The same method
of procedure will apply to all of the
states. All of the wealth, brain and
Drawn. energies and activities of all
the people would constitute the basis
of this kind of money. Could there
be any better?
You could only destroy the basis
of this kind of money by destroying
the nation.
The currency bill. now before con-
gress, has all of the bad features of
the Aldrich currency law, and in add
tion will force the people to pay hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars in salar-
les to bank directors.
The people should meet in mass
meeting everywhere, and demand OF
congress that they give us a national
| currency, that is in the interest of the
people, and that is not in the interest
of a favored few. If We viii estab-
lish this kind of monetary system We
can build all the public roads we need
and the people will be prosperous, pa
triotic, happy and contented.
I will give an example that will il
lustrate our present monetary system.
1t is estimated that it will cost three

end of the time, Mr. Banker has thre q
hundred one million dollar bonds de-
posted in the United State treasury to
his credit getting 4 per cent interest,
on them which is one million a month
or twelve millions year, and he has a
million dollars at home just the same
as he started with. This illustrates
our present monetary system.
If anyone should say that the iden-
tical national bank currency obtained
for a bond is not converted back into
another bond, then, I answer: That
national bank currency will take the
place of any other kind of money in
the business transactions of the peo-
pie. Therefore it is the same in its
final analysis.
'1Well," says one, Eve should have
gold as the basis of our currency
This is delusion and a snare. Yea!
A transparent fraud. There is not
gold enough in the world to do the
business of the United States. There
is not gold enough in the United
States to redeem one dollar out OF
twenty.

BRITISH MUSEUM GETS
OLD ARABIC MANUSCRIPT

The trustees of the British Museum
have just acquired manuscript of
the Fada'ih al-batiniyah, on account
of the doctrines of the Karmathians
Ismailis and other esoteric and I'M
orthodox sects of Mahometanism, by
the famous theologian, Muhammad
Ibn Muhammad al-Ghazzal This is
apparently a unique Arabic MS,
as no other copy is on rec
ord. In it the author system
atically sets forth the doctrines of
the various sects and refutes them.
The work is of great significance, as
1t supplies very early account of
these sects, some of which are very
important. Ghazzali was born in A.
ID. 1859. and spent his early years in
Tus, Khorasan. He studied under the
great Imam al-Harama'in at Nish-
apur. In A. d. 1891 he became a pro-
fessor at the Nizamiya College, in
Bagdad, where he worked for four
years. He then resigned in order to
continue his own studies and effect a
satisfactory concordat Of orthodoxy.
reason and mysticism. He died in Tus
in A. d. I'LL. His influence upon the
later developments Of Islam has been
enormous. Suyuti, famous author,
says: IF there could be another
prophet after Mahomet it would GER
tainIy be Al-Ghazzali The present
MS. was copied In A. D. 1856, and is
perfect except for a few pages at the
beginning.

BEST INDELIBLE INK
FROM SMALL SEA SNAlLS

Along the rocky shores of New
England is much indeiible ink. 1t is
better than any that can be bought
a beautiful crimson in color. and when
applied to fabricsl is absolutely I'M
changeabIe.
This ink is contained in little bot
ties put up by nature herself-the re-
ceptacles in question being certain
whelks, or sea snails, of the species
known to science as purpura lapillus.
If the shell of one of these whelks
be broken there will be found, just
under the skin of the back. q slender.
whitish vein containing a yellow
liquid. The latter. when applied to
linen with small brush and exposed
to the sun, turns first green, then
blue then purple and finally a bril-
liant crimson Nothing will wash it
out.
Lestsit be supposed that the notion
of obtaining dyes from marine mol
lusks is at all new, 1t is worth ex-
planning that the famous Tyrian pur-
pie, used by the ancients, which is
the most famous of all dyes, was got
from two species of sea snails. This
color was deemed. too splendid for
any but royalty and the nobility in
the days of imperial Rome, the cost
of one pound of wool dyed with It
being $175.
The dye was separated by tedious
process, the whelks being pounded in
a mortar and the liquor thus obtained
diluted with a mixture of water and
urine.-Boston Herald.

PRISON LIBRARIES NEED
TRAINED MEN IN CHARGE

Tommy Try and What He Did"
and 1.-THE School Girls Garland'-to
cite actual titles-are poor prison diet
for men who ask for books. on trades
and English grammar. Florence Ris-
ing Curtis, of the University of Illi-
nois Library School, in THE Survey"
makes an interesting plea for the
intelligent use of libraries as instru-
ments Of reformation for the fifty
thousand men and women in the
State and national prisons, of whom
three-fourths are confined for from
one to ten years.
A study of the catalogues of twen-
ty-three prison libraries shows that,
with few exceptions, they are far be-
low the grade of the average public
library of the same size; the classes
of history, biography and travel,
which should be especially strong, are
often filled with out-of-date and I'M
readable books. 1t is surprising that
detective stories figure largely in the
fiction lists, for it would seem du-
bious policy to furnish stories of
crime which suggest ingenious plans
and point out the weak spots in the
method of their execution.
These Libraries have received in
bulk a large number of the old Sum
day school collections Of out-of- date
religious and temperance books; they
are decidedly lacking in readable in
formational literature = biography,
travel, science and books on present
day invention and progress. Such lit
erature is especially needed here. for
it is the experience of those in charge
that prison men tire of stories and
crave more solid reading.
The prison libraries need, first OF
all, trained librarians, who know how
to select books which provide infor-
nation and recreation; how TO care
for these books and how to get them
read.
