What Aldrieh Wrought

n. o. Messenger, political prophet
for the Washington Star. in an article
on the outlook for the fall elections,
says that one appeal Of the Republi-
can party to the country will be on
the record Of that party for construc-
tive legislation, and he declares that
the Democrats will nod their heads
sagely and point to their own record
in that regard, citing the federal re-
serve law as an example OF what
that party can do in the way OF con-
structive legislation.
The Democratic party has claimed
full credit for the federal reserve law
since the day that President Wilson's
signature put it in operation. But IN
this connection it is we'll to recall
the letter Of Charles A. Conant, one
Of the ablest exponents of sound
finance whom this country has pro-
duced. This letter was addressed to
the editor of the New York Times.
was written shortly after the death
of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich. and
not long before Conant himself joined
the choir invisible. After paying MS
respects to Aldrich for the frankness
with which the late senator was will
ing to discuss important questions
pending before the Senate, his thor
ough grasp Of detail, and his never
failing courtesy to those who held
different views, Conant said of Aid
rich:
The Times has already paid trib-
ute to the controlling share which
Mr.. Aldrich had in framing the plan
of the National Monetary Commits
sion, which became the basis OF oar
federal reserve law. 1t is we'll that
the clash of partisan claims in this
matter should be stilled in the pres
ence of death and the truth admitted
that the principle of central bank
ing system owes its early recognition
to the open -mindedness of Mr.. AID
rich. He was late in coming to the
conclusion that the old bond secured
system of currency was unsound and
out Of date, but when the facts were
forced upon him by his visit to Ell
rope in the summer of 1908 he opened
his mind fully to the light. 1t is not
often that a man Of 81 years, with a
! long public career Of adherence to
! other views, so promptly and com
| pletely accepts new gospel"
1t is we'll within the memory of all
how firmly the Democrats were op-
posed to the currency legislation of
Mr., Aldrich when they were in the
minority in the Senate and House
but a minority which was powerful
enough to block that legislation. l,
was not until they came into power
and such stalwart leaders in the
American business world as Charles
C. Glover of Washington, D. c., Frank
Nanderlip, and others. Republicans
almost without exception. had put ir
words Of one syllable, and spelled
out, the necessities for currency re-
form, that the Democratic party
adopted it, and then like the proven
hial jackdaw, strutted around in bor-
rowed plumes. And the law they
passed still possesses many unsatis-
factory features, with a score o1
amendments proposed and awaiting
Congressional action.

field-that of cleaning cars at Union
station in Portland.
Harold Farley of the Texas force
at Bath, says the Times. is entitled
and is receiving the congratulations
of his friends and many who are not
acquainted with him. but who ad-
mire his Maine style of patriotism.
which prompts him to be willing not
only to talk, but to fight for his
country.
Monday night q crowd of work
ers were talking over the war news,
when stranger, whose name no
one seemed to know but who is en-
ployed at the Texas yard, made the
remark as is claimed that America
and Britain ought to get trimmed,
for they were everlastingly sticking
their noses into the affairs of other
nations.
The statement so grated on the
patriotic feelings of Mr.. Farley that
he instantly smashed his clenched
fist into the strangers face, knock
ing him back and also knocking the
strangers hat from his head.
Farley picked UP the mans hat
from the ground and threw it at
him, when the stranger remarked
that he should have him arrested.
A policeman who happened along
soon after the affair met Farley still
mad and excited over the incident.
The policeman on hearing the story
said that if the stranger should
come to the station, they would
promptly lock him up and inquire
into his pedigree.
The mans number was known to
some of the Texas people and the
matter may be looked into further
to learn how it happens that this
man holds such sentiments and why
he is working in an American yard.
