BONE TO GO WITH THE MEAT

A New York newspaper said the
other day that Mr. Lloyd-George. the
British chancellor OF the exchequer.
fostered schemes for "the permanent
pauperlzation Of the people"
This newspaper had in mind the old
age pension system. An old age pen
sion is the exorbltant sum Of si.25 a
week. allowed to destitute persons OF
good character who are past seventy
II is fact that in England farmhands
are lucky II they get 81 a week Most
OF them get $3.50 That is the scale
OF wages.
They who begrudge the British
poor their old age pension" said j.
Phelps Stokes. remind me OF the
slave owner Of Maiden
This canny Yankee had a slave who
had been In the family TIL he was
seventy years old. Seeing that there
was very little more work left In the
old man, the squire sent for him one
day and said pompously:

what | could do to reward your deyo-
ton. ! now give you your freedom.
You arc henoeforth your own master.

Hannibal scratched his gray wool,
shook his head, and answered with n
sly otuckle:

WHAT ~ EMERGENCY
CURRENCY FOR


New York World.
We must confess that in our quest
for an answer to the question. what
Is emergency currency for?" our
neighbor, the sun offers no enllght-
eminent.
II we accept It's lntlmatlon that
emergency currency does not
strengthen banking and commercial
credit, then, once more, what is II
for?
II we admit that with a thousand
millions Of this currency available
It has no particular bearing upon the
price OF bank credit then. agan.
what is II for?
II We confess that currency based
on state and municipal bonds and
approved commercial paper, the very
bed rock Of American credit and
wealth. Is "popullstlc initiation" then
finally, why was It devised by Mes
srs Aldrlch and Vreeland. two sound
money republicans, and why was It
accepted by a sound money congress?
One thing In regard to the emer-
gency currency act is very clear-lt
was not designed to promote strin-
gency and panic. II was not expected
to enrich money lenders. Nobody who
voted for II had any other idea than
that in times Of financial stress. Of
ten wholly irrational, II would oDer.
ate not only to strengthen real cred
It but to provide a circulating med
ium Of undoubted security when tim
idity or speculation had locked up
the real money Of the republic.
What do we see today? There Is
comparatively small issue Of emergen-
cy notes. Bank credits In the United
States, a nation at peace. with all the
world, are quoted at Z, and . per
cent, whereas, In England. France.
Germany, Austria, Belgium and Hol-
land. all but one Of them at war. they
range from 3 to per cent. We are
not making use Of our emergency
notes. So far as they are In use they
are shylocked.
The Worlds question has been
asked in all sincerity. What Is omer-
gency currency for?
The people Of Texas who have kept
posted on the mismanagement OF the
penltentlary system and who rcmem-
Der what a failure resulted from an
attempt to put the state In the rail-
road business. are not enthusiastic
over the matter Of going into the
banking business.

PROSPERITY REIGNs
IN WEST TEXAS

John X. Rosson has returned from
a trip through the western part OF
the state and the Panhandle country,
including sweetwater. Snyder, sla-
ton, Lubbock. Plalnvlew. Tulia. Am
arlllo, Clarendon. Memphis. Quanah
and other points. He advises that
feed and roughness are In abundance
Everywhere. with all the silos full
OF nutritious feed and everybody
wanting money to put in livestock,
but II appears that the banks
throughout the country are unable
to accommodate them.
II is his opinion. however. that the
money matters will ease up In
short time and the farmers will be
able TO finance a few carloads OF
stock to consume their grain and
feed stuff. More prosperous condl-
lions never prevailed In Texas than
at the present time. and II conditions
arc favorable to moving the cotton
crop at 10 cents or better. we may
expect nothing but prosperity for the
future" says Mr.. Rosson.
He attended three or four fairs on
his visit and found the exhibits ex-
ceptionally fine and everybody In
good spirits and feeling jubllant over
the outlook for the future.
People throughout the country
are taking great interest In the fat
stock show at Ft Worth and no
doubt we will have very large at
