"FREE SILVER"

The first influential leader of the 'sfree silver' movement, once so inn portant an issue in American politics was Richard Parks Bland, who was born in Kentucky eighty-one years ago today and died in 1899. Bland entered Congress in 1873, the year of the decentralization of the silver Sdol- lar, and he immediately became known as the champion of silver. He intro duced a measure providing for the free and unlimited coinage of silver by all the hints of the United States, and it was passed by the House in 1877. The Senate refused to pass the Bland bill \in it's original form. but the bi- metallists succeeded in their efforts to the extent of directing the Secre- tary of the Treasury to purchase monthly not less than s2.000,000 and not more than $4,000,000 worth of sil- yer bullion, to be coined into standard silver dollars, which would be unlim- ited legal tender for all debts. Presi- dent Hayes vetoed the bill. but it was passed over his veto, and the act re- mained in force until 1890. when 1t was repealed by the Sherman act. "Silver Dick" Bland remained in the House till his death in 1899.

President Poincare's
 56th Birthday

Frenchmen win celebrate tonor- row the fifty-sixth birthday or the president of .la republique," M- Ray mond Poincare, who was born ar Bar-le-Duc on August 20. 1880, the aon of a surveyor-general of roads and bridges. While it is often said that the President of France is but fig ,lrehead-and 1t is true that he has vastly less power than the chief exc cutive of the United States-M. Poin- care has not been content to twfddle hfs thumbs while s'la patrfe" Is in danger. While confining his 'acttvf- ties strictly within constitutional linn it's. he has nevertheless made his in- f1uence felt throughout the length and breadth of the republic. and along Frances far-flung battle-line. To the French people, in this crisis in their national existence, M. Poincare has become the physical embodiment of the spirit of France, subordinate in many ways to Joffre and Briand, but supreme in others The tongues that assailed him before the war now sing his praises. AS author of distinction, a member of the French Academy, a. lawyer of more than usual ability, and a politician and statesman of long experience, M. Poincare Is representa- tive of the many-sided genius of France. In his face Frencnmen now see reflected that calm, stern. unfal- tering determination which is the spir- it of France. From the beginning of his public career M. Poincare used all his influence for the preservation of European peace, and his work in this cause was praised by that un- compromising socialist Jaures.
 M. Poincare assumed the office of President in January, 1913. for a term of seven years. Nominally he is the head of the state, and has the power to veto any measure the deputies may pass, but in practice French Presi- dent does what his cabinet advises If he disregards the advice of the the latter resigns. The President then summons a new cabi- net, but this must be able to command the support of a majority in the chamber, and if 1t does not, must re- sign. Failing to nominate cabinet that is acceptable to the chamber, the President has no alternative but to resign his office.
