modern system Of national banking.
Recently, we have seen the Democratic
Party lcgalize the Wall Street international
Money Trust. and vastly expand it, by broad
eHng the base upon which it rests.
The huge pyramid of bank paper now rests
upon buttress planted IN each section Of the
countrywide RcQi01Dnl DaJlh
Supplemented by the Aldrich- Vreeland act
Of the Republican Party, this new system Of
Democratic NATIONAL bank currency. not only
makes into money the $750,OO0.O00 of due
bills, issued by the former Republican national
banks, but authorizes the issuance of currency
on all the rotten Wall Street notes, stocks and
bonds that have been issued by the free boot
ers Of Morgan Rockefeller finance
One thousand million dollars Of money has
already been authorized, and is being issued
OH the basis Of this collapsible mountain Of
Wall Street paper.
The machines which cut, engrave and
stamp this new Money, are running day and
night, Just as the machines used to Go, at
Richmond during the Civil War.
General Toombs said that Jeff Davis ran
the machines all day to get money for the
Confederate Government, and that the n9gers
ran the machines all night, to get the money
due on their Wages.)
Not content with the stupendOus advantage
of turning their paper property into Money,
and getting interest twice upon the same In
vestment these Morgan-P Rockefeller banks are
demanding that their Special Privilege be
enormously enlarged
Instead of being required to maintain a
Gold Reserve to secure outstanding currency,
these patriots demand that the legal reserve
required by law, consist Of 5anh notes!
In other words, these modest, unselGsh, and
consistent gold-standard men are insisting
that the Government 0UO2C their millions Of
duc-6Hs to rest upon OTHER MILLIONS
or I'IEIR DUE' Bills.
Yet these are the Wall Street patriots who
denounced Peter Cooper. Allen G. Thurman,
Greenbaclers and Populists, when they
pleaded for return to the tiDao-A0nored 8ys-
tenn Of Government MOncY.
We asked for a Treasury Note currency,
guaranteed By the Gorc2mn2ent based upon
all the qrca1th Of all the people, and redeema-
bic in the payment of all debts. in the satisfac-
ton OF all contracts, and In the payment Of all
taxes.
In other words, we wanted currency that
should be equal to Government bonds, based
on the same national credit, and issued IN
small notes, in order that all the people might
enjoy the benefits.
Everybody now sees that the Warburg- Aid
rich Currency Syestem-which the Democrats
submissively accepted as a condition of their
political success-Was made by the Few, and
will be controlled, by the Few for the benefit
of the Few.
The Agricultural classes are left out in the

Various plans for this urgently needed re-
lief are being proposed.
Allow me to suggest one which nobody has
mentioned, and which can be most quickly and
permanently established:
Let tie Democratic Paaty redeem its time

PER CENT FEDERAL TAX ON THE
NOTES or STATE BANKS!
That pledge has been made, again and
again. You will find it in the Democratic
platforms of the various Southern States, at
the time the Farmers Alliance put fire on the
terrapin's back.
When the Greenbackers and the Populists
made it so hot for the Southern Democrats, in
the Nineties, nearly every Democratic news
paper clamored for the repeal of tax on State
bank notes.
Congress could now rush bill of that sort
through within two weeks. or in less time,

protected millions.
The repeal Of this tax would Immediately
enable the State Banks to issue currency, be-

but they have been dormant because of the
prohibitive 10 per cent tax.

It would require months, perhaps, to enact
into law a system of Rural Credits.
Whenever any such system is proposed the
patriots Of the Money Trust, and of the Re
gional Banks, viii fight it to the death.
The reason why President Wilson, Mr..
Bryan and the Democratic leaders, generally,
broke the promise of the Baltimore Platform
is, that the Money Trust Democrats are OPP

Those national banks that are dissatisfied
with the Regional, can incorporate as State

On the contrary. my plan is one that has the
law already made for it: is one that would be
permanent; and is one that will relieve all

they be the cotton-planters of the South, the

Roman Catholic Threats Against

THE following editorial paragraph appears
in The Western Watchmaan, the Official
Catholic paper of ST. Louis, Mo.
The Sisters will remain in the Indian schools.
and John Hall Stephens will be replaced on the
committee and subcommittee Indian Affairs.
He halls from Texas and is probably of those
whose fathers changed their names when they
arrived in Texas, lust to offset impertinent in

Do you understand it?
Mr.. Stephens insists that these Roman
Catholic ''Sisters" should come under the law
as the other teachers do, and stand the Civil
Service examination.
Mr.. Stephens contends that these Sisters"
while teaching Government schools, and
pocketing Government money, shall not wear
the livery of the foreign Pope.
But the towards in Congress have crouched
to the Romanist lash, and have overruled Mr..
Stephens.
And now the Romanists demand that
Stephens be kicked from the Committee!

ERUPTION COVERED BABY

Green Farm, Greenwood, Del
when my girl was a baby of two
months her back was covered with red
spots as large as a penny. They CON
tinued to spread until they covered
her from head to foot. The spots were
inflamed. She could not sleep; they
itched all the time. She was a pitiful
sight. Her clothing aggravated her.
The eruption made her very cross and
fretful.
"a salve we used did no good. She
was bad for about two weeks when
my husband bought a cake of Cuticura
Soap and a box Of Cuticura Ointment.

spots began to heal and she began to

DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.

1t seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, rvousne
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee is dis
missed and Postum used as the regu-
lar table beverage.
The reason is clear. Coffee con-
tains a poisonous drug-caffeine-
which causes the trouble, but Postum
contains only the food elements in
choice hard wheat with a little mo-
lasses.
A Phila. man grew enthusiastic and
wrote rs follows:
Until Is months ago I used coffee
regularly every day and suffered from
headache, bitter taste in my mouth,
and indigestion; was gloomy and irri-

ENTIRELY A PRIVATE AFFAIR
Group of Surveyors Really Had No
Right to "Peek" at Couple Far
Out on the Lake.

Far out on Lake Erie, nearly a mile
from Edgewater park beach, there
was a speck of black on the water.
Nearer shore there were other and
larger specks. Close in the specks be-
came boats, containing fishermen and
other people. There must have been
a hundred, all told.
On the hill that borders the park
beach a party of city engineers were
at work.
Resting for a moment, an engineer
looked out over the lake. He saw the
farthest tiny speck.
Il wonder what that boat is doing
way u there" he unused. And he re
marked to the others about him.
So they brought one of those things
surveyors look through to ascertain
distance and straighten a line. They
turns at looking, they saw as plainly
as if the boat rested only a few hun
dred feet away.
A man wearing a white shirt and a
girl wearing a white waist were in
that boat. They sat together on the
center seat. An arm of each embraced
the other.
A stir. The girl used her other arm
to reach into the mans pocket. She
extracted a cigarette, lighted 1t, and
then blew smoke in the mans face.

opportunity and advanced on Namur.
Mulhausen. Colmar and the little strip
In Lorraine, which were not defended,
as 1t might be possible that the en-
thusiasm and popular clamor of the
French would force an invasion of
their lost provinces of Alsace-Lor-
raine. But 1t is highly improbable that
a determined advance in force will be
made on this line even should popular
clamor demand it.
The German Plans.
Germany on the other hand has not
only France to attend to but Russia
as well. In considering her plans she
also must take into account Austria.
Should Russia be allowed to mobilize
fully and concentrate. it is probable
that she would be able to overwhelm
Austria, first attacking on the Lem
b~erg-Bucharest (Roumania) line. 1t
Is probable that Germany is acting
with rapidity against Russia.
What press dispatches have drifted
through indicate that 10000 Germans
landed some three days ago between
Hango and H~elsingfors In Finland.
This force In all probability consisted
OF n army corps and one cavalry di-
vision. some additional heavy artillery,
engineers and aeronautical troops.
From Warsaw to st. Petersburg
there are IL Russian corps. but as
these are not fully modified one Ger
man corps is probably as strong in
men as two Russian corps just now.
The German corps which landed in
Finland and therefore behind St Pc
tersburg Is undoubtedly designed to
hold the four Russian corps In that
vicinity to keep them from going to
the assistance Of the other Russian
corps further to the south.
Again it was reported that the Rus
sian government has decided to evacu-
ate Warsaw, which was officially de
MED at St. Petersburg. Weighing this
evidence, it seems probable that
there has been a German advance from
1ntersburg In the direction Of Wilma
to hold the four Russian corps sta
toned In that district from doing any
harm or going to any other place.
Possibly three German corps, whose
stations are close to Wilma, are en-
gagged in that operation.
If the vigorous fighting of these four
German corps, the one in Finland and
the three against Wilma, Is strong
enough, eight Russian corps might
probably be isolated and fully occu-
pied with their own affairs and not
able to move or concentrate anywhere
else.
Austrlans Invade Russia.

had been assembled in Galicia and that

Dr.. Hilary Roberts Mason of Port
land, the well-known authority on eu-
genics, said on the Atlantic City board
walk:
*Look at all these thousands of
bathers. Do you see one shapely and
beautiful human form among them,
male or female? No!
This woman is too heavy-hipped
and too narrow-chested. That man
protrudes where he shouldn't-in the
chest. And so it goes. Among all
these thousands not one perfect speci-
men,"
DR.. Mason ended with an angry
laugh:
'The survival Of the fiittest may be
a true doctrine, but, dear me, what a
lot Of escapes there's been!"
The Penn's Grove record., 1914-08-21

$4,000 of these were cavalry. This
means that the three Austrian corps
stationed in Galicia, or a little less
than 0 10000 combatants, with nine di
visions of cavalry, about $4,000, have
gone into Russia, but just where is
left to the imagination.
Six corps, three German and three
Austrian, and from $4,000 to 10000
cavalry + probably advancing to-
wards Brest-Litovosk. By the time
these arrive there it is difficult to see
how the Russians car have more than
three full corps and 10000 to 10000
cavalry. Austrian troops have ad-
vanced along the eastern frontier that
is just north of Roumania-
1t seem probable that on the
French frontier at the present time
Germany has nine corps of the active
army, assisted by one Austrian corps
on the German extreme left, near the
Swiss border. There probably are
nine more corps of the first reserve
and nine more of the second reserve
also on the French frontier, which
with all their auxiliaries amount to
well owe 1000, 900 fighting men.
1t appears that if these million Ger
mans care to remain on the defensive
on the French border it will take a
pretty goodly number of attackers to
get them out Of their intrenchments, il
they ever can do it. Providing Aus
tria and Germany are directing their
main attack against Russia, France to
reap any advantage must strike quick
ly and hard IN a line as short, in a mil
itary way, as possible toward the Kiel
canal.

The grasshopper knocked humbly at
the door Of the ants prosperous-look-

What do you want?" said the ant,
in a thin, hard voice.
"A little food, and shelter from the
cold winds" replied the grasshopper.

"And, may l ask" said the unsym-
pathetic ant, how comes it that you
have wasted the summer"

fore?" said the ant, smiling her sweet

kiel Canal Big Factor.
The Kiel canal is the deciding fac
tor in the control of the sea. 1t is 800
miles from Namur. Many Of Germany's
great supply points are in the interval
between. An advance on this line
would be near the sea, where England
could help with her ships. Once the
Kiel canal is captured humiliation of
the German fleet might result, which
would give command Of the Baltic sea
to France and her allies and allow the
unrestricted transport of Russian
troops and material Of war to the
north German coast.
It therefore would appear that the
strategy of France will aim at the cap
ture of the Kiel canal, because it is
the most important point s~trategically
which Germany possesses. By this
line of action France would utilize to
the utmost England's great sea power.
In addition, by a direct invasion in
the direction Of the Kiel canal France
would Paris and her communi-
cations better than by any other route.
An advance via Mulhausen and Stras-
burg would be extremely dangerous

to see France do. Hence we see why

StrateglcaI Problems of Warning
Nations Are Now Recon-
ing Apparent.
KEEL CANAL IS BIG FACTOR
Capture of Waterway by Enemies Of
Germany Might Prove Turning
Point of War-Importance
Of Paris and Berlin.

Notwithstanding the m~eagerness of
details from Europe, the strategicaI
problems for Germany and France
have become more apparent during
the last few days.
France must protect her frontier
against German invasion and at the
same time she must proceed as fast
as possible towards the Kiel canal.
That canal is apt to prove the turn
ing point In the war If the triple en-
tente gets control of 1t, according to a
military expert writing for the Chica-
go Tribune.
Germany, on the other hand, must
protect her French border and the
Kiel canal and drive her forces into
Russia as fast as possible.
The question now presented to Ger
many and France is where to attack.
The capture of Paris alone at pres
ent probably would not bring about .
cessation Of combat on the part Of the
French, as the sinews of war have
been well provided further to the
south.
Berlin is not Germany even to any
where nearly as great an extent as
Paris is France. The straight line dis
lance from Namur (the fortress before
which the Germans have established
touch with their French antagonists)
to Paris is $50 miles; to Berlin, 400
miles; to the Kiel canal, 300 miles.
The distance from Mulhausen to Ber-
lin is about 400 miles; to the Kiel ca
nal, 500 miles.
But the distance from Paris to Null

Namur to Mulhausen is 220 miles, and
