The report of the royal commission
on Indian finance and currency, which
has just been issued, settles some
controversies and starts others, but
it does not clear up the mystery or
the boarded gold of India.
From time immemorial India has
absorbed gold as a sponge absorbs
water. The flow of gold to India
has always continued. In the last
twelve years she has received $780,
OO0, 900 in gold, partly in sovereigne
and partly In bullion, in addition to
enormous quantities of silver. 1t all
goes into the country, but very little
ever comes out. Lord Rothschild OBJ
served some years ago that he had
noticed that none of the smooth gold
bars sent to India from England
ever came back. What happens to
this great stream of precious metal,
which continuously disappears like
those rivers in desert lands which
lose themselves underground?
The testimony of experts is con-
flicting. Some say it is boarded,

THE PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARIES TOMORROW

Peculiar interest attaches to the primaries in
Pennsylvania tomorrow Candidates for United
States Senator Governor and members of Congress
will be held throughout the State by Democrats,
Republicans and Progressives The interest will
centre in the candidacy of Senator Penrose for re-
election.
Penrose is a reactionary Republican. Pennsyl-
vania was carried by Roosevelt by a plurality of
51,sO7 in 1912, largely account of the unpopu-
larity of Penrose. Roosevelt received 174,121 more
votes than Taft Has Pennsylvania changed in senti-
nent since 1919? Has Penrose regained the power
he lost in 1912?
In that year there were 447 ,426 Progressive party
votes and only 27S,3O5 for the Republican cand-
date How will the poll of the two parties in to-
norrow's primaries compare? No need to speak of
the Democratic primary, for in Pennsylvania this
year there not appear to be the ghost of show
for the Democratic State ticket.
But will the Republican pendulum swing back to
Penrose? There is a powerful opposition to him
within the party on account of his personal record
and affiliations, but in Pennsylvania national issue
such as the Panama tolls question the tariff over
comes personal objections
The nomination of Penrose would probably mean
his election II would surely mean that if in the
primaries tomorrow the Progressive vote should suf

perspiring in Washington when they ought to be at

allow only six or seven weeks to complete the work
of the session. including the appropriation bills and
the trust bills all other legislation to go by the
board
The House can rush this business through in six
or seven weeks, but how about the Senate? That
deliberatve body takes its time and moreover it
has trust legislation of its that differs materially
from that of the House.
One body cannot adjourn without the other and
there must be agreement the provisions of bill
before it can become law. Therefore either the
session will have be indefinitely prolonged or trust
legislation must fail which is the likeliest thing to
happen.

by Leigh Gordon Giltner who has
already done several short things for
Women's Stories, bids fair to be a
notable success in this kind of fiction
Georgette Lane, like many another
girl has overrated her histrionic
ability, and after a few months of
unsuccessful searching for tiny
niche in the stage world, she reaches
the end of her rope. If chloroform
and the coroner seem the only things
left her, yet Georgette resolves to
make a gallant last play, and with
her remaining few dollars she has tea
in a luxurious uptown hosiery with
roses and pink candle shades on the
tables. Whereupon adventure comes
her way. A day later she finds her
self playing the role of Mrs. Tony
Van Allen, society leader, with an
adorable husband, huge establish

worth of mackerel off the coast there in ten days by

quantities not to disturb the established market

This is only a trifng incident of the States fish
