Arrangements would be made for the
federal reserve board to force with

McAdoo Supports Bill.
Secretary McAdoo wrote Senator
Pittman supporting the bill as war
measure, although he suggested there
might be q wide difference OF opinion
on the best method OF replacing sill
YER certificates with other currency.
"In this way, he explained, the
large mass of silver which Is serving
no useful active purpose now can be
made available for a direct war pur-
pose. There is no intention of making
any permanent change in the status
of the silver certificates. The propo-
sition is in brief to retire silver certi-
f1cates, to borrow from the treasury
the silver for use for war purposes,
and then as silver from time to time
in the future comes on the market,
to replace the silver SO borrowed by
purchase in the market at the tlEeC
price Of 81 per fine ounce and to re-
place the borrowed silver by coming
the new silver acquired for that pur-
pose into standard silver dollars.
There is no limit in which this must
be done"
No silver dollars have been coined
since 1904. For half dollars, quar-
ters and dimes, the government this

Determination on the part of the
treasury officials to urge the fixing OF
a silver price resulted from the err

COMING RETRIBUTION.

At last is seems to be getting down
through the thick skull of Prussian
arrogance, domineering stupidity and
conceit, that making an enemy of near
ly all the world was not a good thing
for Germany. The growing unity of
the allied nations in war, is sure to pro-
duce commercial unity after the war
These nations and their colonies pos
sess an abundance of raw material that
Germany does not possess. By virtue
of its submarine warfare, it has forced
the allies to tremendous increase of
their equipment in ships that will easily
control the carrying trade of all the
seas after the war, whereas the loss Of
ships to Germany, besides the stagna-
ton of her shipbuilding industry, a.
mounts to an enormous handicap The
act of Kaiser William in forcing this
war was the act Of mailman, blinded
by one thing, Deutschland Ueber AL
les The destruction of life, treasure
and domestic industry that has come to
Germany and Austria Hungary is be-
yond computation. No human wisdom
or power can ever stay the work of
destruction that has been so firmly es-
tablished through this madman's war.

his eyes wander over the city with a
dreamy, contented, faraway gaze quite

The Universal Art

1t seems to me that teaching is the
greatest of the arts, and that every one
of us, no matter what mis- walk of life
may be, is engaged willy-nilly for a
good part of his time in teaching. Sure
ly every father and mother is engaged
In 1t and / am persuaded that the vast
majority Of children address them
selves to the problem of teaching their
parents that the life of their day is
wholly incompatible with the methods
of q generation past. The master who
learns how TO handle men is taught by
the men he handles. The senator and
congressman in the throes of their elo-
quence are endeayoring to teach their
honorable colleagues what they take

is war party, born in the cradle of
war and patriotism. Without the party
and its push and punch, its patriotism,
where would we be today in this great
war struggle? Republicans are back
ing the President with more vim and
clearer display of willing sacrifice
than his own party. The records of
Congress show this as well as the
readiness Of Republican money and
fighters. They are practically inelllgi-
BILE to plum positions, etc, but do not
care wit for that. They are for the
preservation of this country's liberty
and all the blessings that go with it.
Can the country affordI to have the
Republican party go into bankruptcy
for the benefit of such a receiver ?
Guess not. And you can rest assured
that every Republican out for office
has got to prove himself 1000 patriotic
or the voters of bis own party will
plaster him with mud.
