The Currency Law.

The Journey on which Secretaries Nc
Adoo and Houston have just set out will
take them over a wide stretch of the
country, and continue nearly two months.
Their part in establishing the new cur
rency system is very important, and we
shall see them perform their duty care
fully and conscientiously. They will not
conclude their labors until tine latter days
OF February.
More important, however. than the
running of regional lines and the desiS-
nation Of regional cities for the reserve
banks is the naming of the members of
the reserve board. That duty lies wholly
with the President, and he has now I'M
der considerable names that have been
suggested for recognition. The list, of
course. is not closed. and additions may
be made to il after his return to Wash
ington.
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston have
announced themselves free from political
bias in the premises and while the Pres
ident has not spoken his views to the
same effect may be assumed For moth
ing is clearer than that the announce
ment of board open to criticism on the
score of politics or political pull would
chill the country. and make the pathway
vf the new law Very difficult.
For this reason there is a feeling in
business circles that the sooner the Pres
ident makes his selections-consistent, of
course, with the inquiry and reflection re-
quired by SO momentous a duty-the bet
ter. \ strong board will recommend the
law. about which at present there is
some uneasiness. The debate while the
W haf no To
tied at times and developed the fact
that party pressure was necessary to
keep the majority in line. Mr.. Hitch
cock was the only democrat who with
stood the pressure. but not the only one
who desired changes made.
But the law has been pronounced by a
.epublican senator-Mr Weeks of Mas
sachusetts-as seventy-fve per cent good;
and if administered by thoroughly COM
petent board it should prove successful.
The debate is over. The law is here.
Business wants to get busy. and it is of
the first moment to everybody that
things should begin to hum again.
There is little doubt that politics will
enter into some of the recommendations
made to the President for these appoint
ments As boys will be boys, politicians
VIII some OF THEM Will
argue to the President, as they do in
personal conversation, that the demo-
cratic party being responsible for the law
should have a controlling say in its exc
cution: in other words. that the law
should be administered by its friends.
The President, however. has much
at stake he will hardly yield to any
such shortsighted suggestion. He values
the currency law above the tariff law as
a piece of reform legislation, and may
ne expected to give it start on broad
lines of public policy.

Congressional Grouches.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.


CONGRESSMAN Herman Metz, former
city controller of New York, declared
the other day in what he has since con-
fessed was a moment Of grouchiness that
he was tired of being rubber stamp
congressman" Representative ]. J.
Whitacre of Canton, Ohio, has been re-
ported as saying that all I've done since
I've been in Washington has been to sit
around and try to look wise and that
what any man has to do who isn't willing
to barter his convictions for political ex-
pediency No man who wants to be in
tellectually honest has any business in
Congress" Both of these gentlemen are
democrats The inference must be that
they do not share the reported party en-
thusiasm over Mr.. Wilson's leadership.
Probably there are many others who are
equally averse to being rubber stamps
and find it calling to try to look wise.
But it does not seem to better anything
to look foolish.

Pellagra.

Not until the publication of reports
laid before Secretary McAdoo by Sur
econ General Blue of the public health
service has there been any general ap-
probation of the seriousness of pellagra
as a public menace in this country The
fact that since its discovery in the
United States in 1907 no less than sc, 900
cases have developed in forty -four
states suffices to warrant the request
for funds to permit thorough cam
paign against this disease. Surgeon
General Blue Urges an appropriation to
rent a hospital building in one of the
southern states where the disease is
most prevalent to permit an exhaustive
study of pellagra in all its phases.
Comparatively little is known about
pellagra- The other day at Atlanta a
speaker before the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science
declared that it's spread was due to the

Supporting the President.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The practically unanimous support
President Wilson is receiving for his
policy of "watchful waiting" toward
Mexico furnishes striking demonstra-
ton of the folly of those who are at
tempting to manufacture false issues.
They get nowhere. Mr.. Wilson is Presi-
dent of no party. He is President of
the United States, and that means the
President of and for all the people.
1t is entirely immaterial what party is
in charge of the government so long
as the affairs of government are con-
Quoted SO as to promote the highest
and best interests of the American peo-
pie. Nobody questions the sincerity of
President Wilson's desire to do this.
He will be successful If he receives the
cordial support of his party associates,
and if politicians of other parties per-
init party issues to stay dead" Then
can President Wilson, like President
Monroe. devote himself to promoting
the economic development of the coun-
try. and by so doing give US another
Era of Good Feeling.

the human mind and the results OF
thorough training.

The Bull Moosers.

NO compromise reply the bull moosers
to the overture of the republicans for
reunion. Come over to us, body ana
breeches or stay where you are and take
the consequences. The fight is to a fin
ish."
This note has just been sounded in a
high. clear key in Ohio. Kansas, and
Iowa. all three for long years republican
strongholds In each a United States
senator will be chosen this year. Mr..
Burton. whose republicanism has never
cooled or wavered. will stand for re-elec-
ton, while Mr.. Bristow and Mr.. Cum
minis, aggressively progressive last year,
and still progressive in their feelings, de-
sire to return.
And the bull moosers are organizing
campaigns for seats in the next House.
They have opened national headquarters.
and candidates are to be nominated in
every district outside of the south. Wher-
ever there is bull moose strength much
or little, it is to have opportunity for
expression at the polls.
Chairman Hinebaugh in discussing
matters, says that no plans have been
made regarding Mr. Roosevelt's part in
the contest but he seems to think 1t
likely the former President will take a
hand. Ii he is betting man, Mr. Hine-
baugh can afford to lay odds on that
if he meets anybody anywhere inclined
to risk his coin on the counter PROPOSE
ton. Mr. Roosevelt will take a hand.
and be mighty glad of the chance.
1t is proclaimed by those acquainted
with the equine nature that you can lead
a horse to water, but You cannot make
him drink. The bull moose managers
may put up candidates for Office, city.
county, state, and national. but can
they make voters support them?
Those managers may propose, but for
tune will dispose. The situation six
months hence may differ radically from
todays situation, and the situation on
election day more radically still

good-it has not taken that turn yet
and the new currency scheme catches

to be presented. pleases, the row be-
tween the republicans and the bull
noosers will lose some of its edge and
interest. The democrats will carry the
next House and hold the Senate with
ease No change will be decreed by the
voters.
But if things are heading the other
way; if by midsummer there is a taste
of the old Cleveland days. and the bread
line is long and the soup kitchens nu-
merous and full, then we shall see the de-
mand for a change grow strong and win
at the polls. In that case the opponents
of the administration will take up the
strongest instrument for their purposes
and the choice will be between the re-
publican party and the bull moose party
Will the average anti administration
voter, no matter his anti-Taft views and
action last year, hesitate long in choos-
ing?

Express Reforms.

IttIUIt II ret ItSH.
The express companies, in their effort
to meet parcel post competition. have re-
solved upon two reforms in their ways.
They will reduce rates and they will pro-
vide for courtesy to their patrons on the
part of their employees. Whether they
are not too late already and are not lock-
ing an empty stable is a good deal of a
question. but the latter OF the two provi-
sions now made will commend itself to
the public. If the rule of universal cour-
tesy had been adopted years ago and sin
cerely enforced, some of the general re-
sentiment against the express concerns
would have been avoided.

tase, but II Must Be Supplemented
With Something Else.

Grain is the staple food for poultry.
and will be used for that purpose as
long as fowls are kept on farms; but
hens cannot give good results on
grain alone. 1t is beneficial to them,
says the Fruit Grower, and will be at
all times relished, but the demand of
the hens is such as will call for vari'
ETY.. In the shells of eggs, as well as
their composition, are several forms
OF mineral matter and nitrogen. which
can only be partially obtained from
grain.
Even grains vary in composition.
and when fowls are fed on one kind
for a long time, they begin to refuse
II. as they may be oyersupplied with
the clements in the food partaken and
lack the elements that are best sup
piled from some other source. For
this reason they will accept a change
OF food. which is of itself an evidence
that the best results from hens can
only be obtained by variety of food.
Corn and wheat may be used as food
with advantage, but II must be given
as portion of the ration only, and not
made exclusive articles of diet.
