Dec. 2.— The adminis- tration currency bin in its final form was reported to both Houses of Con- gress today to be written into law. The members of the Conference Committee which labored until dawn this morning threshing out the differences between the two houses, presented a perfecte:l messure which followed closely the lines laid down by President Wilson in his demands for cufrency reform. A general desire among legislators to get away from Washington for the Christmas holidays resulted in a pro- gram calculated by Democratc leaders to place the bill before the President for his signature tonight and to clear the way for an immediate recess. In the House, procedure called for the set- ting aside of the rules in order that the conference report might. not be forced, to lie over tor a day to be seh 8 In th Senate the leaders endeavored to amo away the obstacles, chief of which was an incipient protest dy the supporters of the provision for an in- vurance of bank deposits which was stricken out of the bill in conference.

The Senate conferees were evenly divided on this proposition, three Sénators joining with the House members of the com- mittee in supportihg the administra- tion’s contention. Tt was nearly daylight a single ‘shifting vote brought the conference to a close. The conference accepted the Senate increasing the gold reserve the new notes to be issued from 1 per cent, as fixed in the House to 0 per cent a graduated tax on depletion, as arranged in the Senate.

Pa., Dec. 22.—A Bible carried under his left arm saved the life of the Rev. Dr. R. E. Me- Clure, pastor of the United Presbyte- rian Church, here, and president of the Indiana County. Anti-Saloon League, when an assassin's bullets struck the book, perforating it and Dr. McClure’s clothing. On his way home Dr. McClure was passing two men in a shadowy spot in Stuart street, when he heard a whistle. At the signal one of the men leveled a revolver at the minister and fired. The bullet went wild, but a second bul- let passed through the Bible. Unhurt, the élergyman picked up a brick and threw it at the men, who filed. One of the men lost his hat, which the minis- ter 3 over to the police. re has ben active in pros- 3 MHquor violators, and to this is attributed the ores to Km him. MUSTACHES _ ‘CONDEMNED eT 8 Blame Kaiser tor Lin- Adornment Fad. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Mustaches from an economic point of view were discussed by the boss barbers of Har- lem at a meeting last night. The. fad of raising the upper lip adorn- ment was condemned, and the recent royal comment of the Kaiser that Ger- mans must not shave off their mus- taches, and thereby become effeminate, was blamed for the waste of four min- utes—the extra time required, it was stated, to shave around the edges of a mustache. CLOCK ‘SPEAKS THE HOUR fall of German's Device Has a Phono- graph Attachment. CHICAGO, Dec, 22.—Hours of the nignt and day are spoken and struck by a clock which has just made its appear- ance in this city. A mechanism similar to that of the phonograp is so connected with the mechanism of the clock that the proper time is given. The “talking. clock” is the invention of a German and will be exhibited at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco in 1213. Post-Dispaich ig the only evening news- The paper in st.

WANTS TO CO-OPERATE Expected to Issue Statement on Signing Currency Bill, Reas- suring Business. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—President Wilson let it be known today that some other corporations besides the American Telephone and Telegraph Co, had shown a disposition to take the initiative in re- organizations to conform with the Sher- man anti-trust law. The President did not specify what corporations he referred to, though, in formal discussion of the subject with callers today he spoke of having some in mind. He reiterated that there seemed to be a very general disposition to inquire what the law was, to know what would be expected of dig busi- ness and a desire to comply with the spirit of the law. His Policy Is to Co-Operate. Mr. Wilson made it clear to his callers that it would be the policy of his ad- ministration to co-operate in every way it legitimately could to bring about a satisfactory understanding of the law by the business men of the country, and that the executive departments did not want to raise barriers against those who wanted to obey the law. The President pointed out that the Attorney- -Generul would co-operate and heartily desired and welcomed the impulse on the part of business to take the initiative. The President indicated in his manner of discussion that he hoped the Govern- ment had shown by example in the American Telephone and Telegraph set- tlement what might be expected as the future course of his administration. He has been conferring with congressional leaders on the anti-trust subject and will read a special message to Congress after he returns from his vacation, in which he will point to the necessity f and will endea vor to make clear the in- terpretation of that statute, which the Department of Justice w.. follow. ent. When. the President signs the Currency bill, he probably will accompany. his signature with some sort of a statement on the trust question. A note of confidence that the businegs men of tue country will co-operate with the Government in obtaining a compi ance with the Sherman law is expected to be sounded in the President's re- marks. He will indicate the manner in which the administration will approach the subject, express his realization of the delicacy of the task and the neces- sity for cautious and careful treatment of it because of its intimate relatios to the business conditions of the coun try. Department of Justice officials de- clare that every day representatives of business concerns are calling to learn what they can or cannot do under the law. While officials stated emphatical- ly that prosecutions would not be dis- continued where they were warranted, co-operation would be used wherever possible to obtain an observance of the law. It became known today that the de- partment is at work on plans submitted by other corporations for friendly set- tlements. Just which ones they are was not divulged. Snow in Western Missouri. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 22.—After covering most of Kansas and Western Missouri with snow varying from one to four inches deep. the storm has reached Central and Western Oklaho- ma, and the Panhandle Country of Tex- as, according to reports here. 351 consecutive Sundays newspapers in the volume of _ Spprosched it.

Mexico, Dec. 22.—Kebdel control of telegraph and railroad com- munication south and west of Chihua- hua had today reached a point where Gen. Villa belisved he would be imper- vious to any attack by the few Federal troops remaining in the North. Villa, who can neither read nor write, exer- cises from the State capital al: the func- tions of goverrment. As the cities in the rebel territory are opened to com- munication, Villa belfeves that soon the states of Sinaloa, Sonora, Durango and Chihuahua will be free of Federal con- trol. Villa Feels Secure. Although 400) Federals at Ojinaga, on the border, were reported to be prepar- ing for action, Villa believed they wotld be unable to do more than de- stroy the railroad. Villa said Chihuahua was too well fortified to fear an attack. The report that Gen. Mercado has fled across the border was regarded here as the beginning of the breaking up of the Federal troops. This city, next to Monterey the most portant in the North, is a scene of desolation, occasioned by its long siexe and its subsequent sacking by the in- vading rebels. No other large city in Mexico is more destitute. City Is Devastated. The stores, now sealed up against fur- ther looting, are almost empty. The lit- ter in the streets betrays the haste with which the Federels took what they could carry before they fled and also the cagerness with which the rebels entered the shops to obtain what was left of food or clothing. The Spanish Cathedral and the churches are empty since the priests and nuns were expelled and e the 2 of the cathedral clock and the quieting ot its belle have impogep a si- lence on the city. The streets have been plastered with} notices that crimes ordinarily considered trivial will be punished’ with execution. — 2 Officers of Federal Regiment Sus- pected of Planning to Desert, Shot. HERMOSILLO, Sonora, Mex., Dec. 22. —The commissioned officers and many sergeants and corporals of the Tenth Regiment of the Federal garrison at Guaymas were executed by shooting at sunrise yesterday in that city, accord- ing to word brought here tonight. Officers and men of the Tenth Regi- ment were disarmed several days ago by Gen. Ojeda, Federal commandant, when he discovered they were plotting to desert to the insurgents. Accompanied by three of the Federal cfficers, who surrendered to the insur- sents at Maytorena, Gen. Obregon, Field Commander of the Constitutionalists in Western Mexico, returned here last night to assist In finding the scattered groups of Federal soldiers, who had de- serted from the Guaymas garrison. Gen. Ojeda and his remaining troops are in Guaymas, as far as could be learned, but insurgent sentries reported that one of the Federal gunboats had disappeared. This was taken as an in- dication that at least a part of the Federal garrison had departed for Ma- zatlan or Manzanillo, farther down the west coast. Gunboat Wheeling Ordered to Tam- pico to Watch New Battle. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Upon receipt of dispatches from Rear Admiral Fletcher, in charge of the American battleships in Mexican waters, the Navy Department ordered the gunboat Wheeling to proceed from Vera Cruz to Tampico, where, the department was informed, hostilities between the Federal and rebel forces had been re- sumed. The English cruiser Suffolk was also reported to have been ordered by Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Craddock to proceed to Tampico. Huerta Is Replenishing His Supply of Ammunition. MEXICO CITY, Dec. 22.—A report that Huerta is short of ammunition is not true. The Government has a sufficient supply for weeks and is receiving more by every steamship from Europe. But cash payments are being exacted from Huerta by ammunition manufacturers, who will shut off his supply promptly when he ceases to pay in advance. The arsenal at Tokio is manufacturing arms ordered by the Mexican Govern- ment and will ship them soon. Japan- ese assert that this is merely a matter of business, and is not indicative of any unfriendliness to the United States. Mrs. Medill McCormick Heads Congressional. Committee.

INEGRO KILLS PAL IN LAUNDRY AFTER | THEY ROB SAFE Watchman Confesses He Shot Ex-Convict and Tells Where Booty Was Hidden. FIRST POSED AS HERO Told Strange Story of Frighten- ing Three White Men Away by Killing Their Companion. A plot to kill Charles R. Dill of 512 Page boulevard, manager of Munger’s Le undry. and rob the company's safe a, a time when it would contain a larg? sum of money was revealed Monday by Charles Anderson. a negro watchman, in a confession to the police that he had killed his confederate after the two had looted the safe in a premature rcbbery Sunday morning. At 4 a. m. Sunday the police were summoned to the laundry at 2210 Wash- ington avenue by Anderson, who tele phoned he had killed a burglar. They found the dead body of William Henry, a negro. riddled with bullets, lying at the foot of the basement sfairs. Anderson told the police that three white men and the negro entered the laundry at 10 o'clock Saturday night and that the negro kept him covered with a revolver while the white men broke open the safe with a hammer, brace and bit, and stole $139.71. Breaks Down After Six Hours. Anderson clung to this story through six hours of sweating' by Capt. Gaff- ney and Detective Sergeant O’Brien who, on account of the negro’s contra- dictory statements, refused to believe his story. Later he confessed. He said he and his father-in-law. Reece McAllister, and Henry, who lived at 982 North Twelfth street, formed a plot to kill Dill and rob the safe. They selected next Tuesday as the date be- cause Dill would remain at the laundry after hours on that day to place a lerge sum of money in the safe. They were going to overpower Dill, he said. when the safe was open, kill him and after the robbery Henry and McAllis- ter were going to tie him io a chair and gag him. After his rescue, Anderson said, he was going to inform the police * that three white men had done th work. Saturday night, according to Ander son, Henry called at the laundry and saying he needed some ready cash. They telephoned to McAllister, but’ he refused to join them, advising them te originally agreed upon. Feared Hen Wouldn’t Divide. Henry and Anderson then located the safe and Anderson, according to his con- fession, fearing that Henry would not divide the money, shot Henry as tha latter was descending the basement stairs to replace the tools he had taken from the engine room. McAllister, when arrested, confirmed Anderson's story of the plot. They are held for murder and complicity in the safe robbery. The stolen money was found wher. Anderson had hidden it after taking it from Henry’s pocket. WIDOW OF AN AMERICAN CONSUL HELD IN LONDON — — — Mrs. H. G. Watson Accused False Pretense in Getting Credit at a Hotel. LONDON, Dec. 2. —-A woman who gave her name as Mrs. Hannah Gor- don Watson, and said she was the widow of a former American Consul at Tien Tsin, China, but who, it was learned later, was in reality the widow of the late Sheridan Pitt Read of New York, was charged today at Bow Street of W insisted on committing the robbery then, irived with her titled husband and het 1d. —s daughter.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2—“Wwet” pene were warned not to expect the votes of foreign-born women and wives of drinking men in future local options elections in Illinois in an address de- liverod before the Cook County Demo- cracry last night by John T. Keating, a wholesale liquor dealer. “In one Illinois county,” said the speaker, à friend of mine made a poll. He had been told that the foreign-born women who use liquor in thelr own homes would offset the votes of the women who are opposed to the saloon. “He made a careful canvass among these women and found that without exception they were opposed to the saloon. The reason they gave was that the saloon kept their husbands away from home. We want our husbands to do their drinking at home,’ they said. “We know where they are then and we don’t have to worry about them or their pay.“ More new platinum jewelry is shown by Messrs. Heffern & Neuhoff than by any other St. Louis Jewelers. 805 Locust. TRAINLOAD OF SULPHUR Texas Mines Ship 25 Carloads in One Lot to New York.

BLOTK graph's Sydney correspondent wires: “Further particulars brought by in- coming vesseis regarding the volcanic eruption on Ambrym Island in the New Hebrides 3 it was the most violent shock need for a cen- tury. It is estimated that at lecst 600 natives perished. „The eruption commenced Dec. 5, dev- astating entire villages and plantations and transforming the whole face of the island. “Capt. Charvin of the steamer Pacci- flique describes the eruption as “hell on earth,” and other witnesses state that the upheaval was so tremendous that they expected the whole side of the island to disappear. ‘With one terrific roar, followed by a rapid succession of artillery-like dis- charges, five craters entered into full activity and streams of lava were seen rushing down the slopes like red ser- pents. Loud explosions followed in rap- id succession, and at each detonation the craters belched forth flames and lava. “At night, the flames shot up a. thousand feet in the air, brilliantly u- luminating the whole scene of destruc- tion, Hugh boulders were hurled into space and silhouetted against the brightness of the flames. “The dust, reaching 10 miles from the scene of volcanic activity, caused a great black cloud to spread from the new craters until it blotted out the light of the stars.” — iw OPEN TONIGHT AnD EVERY NIGHT UNTIL CHRISTMAS UNTIL 9 P.

Bar- tholdt’s decision bad been expected since it was stated on his authority in the Post-Dispatch, Dec. 9, that he was con- sidering retirement. ‘ So many aspirants have already ap- peared that some persons thought they saw, in their very number, a scheme to divide the opposition and renominate Bartholdt. But the Congressman, how serving his eleventh term, is believed to have seen, from the election returns of a year ago, that renomination might not mean re-election. He got 83,242 votes to 31,227 for Maurice O’Connor, a Demo- erat of no wide acquaintance, and 16,47 for Dr. A. Siebert, Progressive. Bar- tholdt’s former pluralities have been 2,000 and upward. The candidates now openly supported for the Republican nomination are State Senator C. O. A. Brunk, George Brand, Clerk of the Probate Court; State Sen- ator A. E. L. Gardner of St. Louis Coun- ty, Judge G. A. Wurdeman of Clay- ton, Charles F. Joy, Recorder of Deeds and former Coagressman from the Elev- enth District, and Jacob B. Meeker, for- mer clergyman. The name of John Schmoll, chairman of the City Commit- tee, has also been mentioned, and he has nitherto been held back by his friend- ship for Bartho'dt, it is believed he may come forward now. Urged to Run Again. In a formal statement given out at Washington Sunday, Bartholdt declared that he had given enough of his life to the public service, and that he might have withdrawn in 1912 but for the fight then raging within the Republican party, which made him unwilling te desert his post. He said his desk was piled with let- ters urging him to run again, but that he deemed it best to announce his pur- pose at this time, to leave time for re selection of his successor. He said had no opposition within his party “ cept such as results from the pardon- able ambition of other aspirants.”’ Desires to Write Books. He said he intended to give himself to literary work, and he has in mind three books which he desires to write— “World Peace,“ “Congressional Mem- oirs” and “The Trend of the Times. Under the last-named head, Bartholdt. who was last year denounced by Col Roosevelt as an arch-reactionary, may give his views on various “progressive” measures, and on woman suffrage and the prohibition movement, which are his pet aversions. He plans a, prolonged stay in Europe, but intends to return in time to take an active part in the cam- paign of 1916, as a Republican campaign speaker. Bartholdt, one of the few remaining stand-patters in Congress, is 58 years old. His continuous service of 2 years in the body has been made possible by his strength with cer- tain. controlling elements in hi own party and district, and by the ac- tion of Democratic Legislatures, which o gerrymandered the city of St. Louis as to put the greatest possible number of Republicans in the Tenth District, and give the Democrats a better chance in the other two. Record in Congress. The new postoffice and the new sub- treasury building, soon to be erected are credited to Bartholdt’s efforts. He took a leading part in Congressional leg- islation favoring the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904, and in the movement to make Jefferson Barracks a first-class military post. He has been an advo- cate of a liberal policy as to immigra- tion. He has, at different times, been chairman of the Committees on Public Buildings and Grounds, on Levees and Improvements of the Mississippi, and on Immigration and Navigation. He was for 16 years a member of the Committee on Labor. He has been a prominent figure in the peace movement, and was president of the Interparliamentary Union, which he was active in organizing at the time of the World’s Fair. He was an intimate friend of the late Adolphus Busch, and pronounced the eulogy at Busch's grave last fall. , Within the past year suffered loss of political prestige the Mulhall letters, which named him as an advocate of the legisiation sought by the National Association of Manu- facturers, and by the publication of old letters in which he requested transpor- tation favors from German transatian- tic lines. The committee which investi- gated the Mulhall matter, declared that nothing detrimental to Bartholdt had been shown, and he said, as to the steamship letters, that he did not seek free passage, but only the privilege of special accommodations H the bert suites were not taken. has A great advantage in saving money through a Savings Account in the Mer- cantile Trust Co., Eighth and Locust streets, is that it is cénstantly earning interest and coropounded semi-annually.

While the trio were arranging the rob- bery, the police, on the information of the stranger, were preparing to trap the three robbers.

Coach Ed Manley of the Illinois U. swimming team is spending the holiday season in St. Louis, and he brings back word that his Illini natators figure to win from the M. A. C. fin-floppers in the local pool on Jan. 17. Manley relies a deal on A. Raithel, who he says is the fastest thing afloat in the shorter distances. Recently Raithel splashed through 50 yards in 23 4-5s. in 75-foot tank, setting @ new, but unofficial, world’s record. C. M. Daniels retired with a mark of 25 1-58. for the distance. Since then Hus- zach of Chicago negotiated the 50“ in 23 4-5s., but he accomplished the feat in a 60-foot tank with two turns. Rai- thel’s performance in a tank where he had only one turn is more praise- worthy. The Illinois team has lost the services of the renowned Vosburg. but. with Raithel in the sprints. Lichter in the plunge and Grif- fin in the middle-distance swims, Manley has hopes of winning from the cherry dia- mond crowd. Word has been received here that Alex Meffert, for several years swimming instruc- tor at the A. C., is in charge of the new and immense I in the Woolworth Build- ing in New York City. This tank is said to be the best in America. as to size and equipment. _ bY | La. DAVIS 2 THE BLACK TRINITY. AM LANGFORD, on a summer’s day, Had a scrap with Sam McVey.

Anon, they hike across the sea And pull a scrap in gay Paree. And victory perches, on her way, Jeanette to Langford to McVey. Again in turn the crown is set McVey to Langford to Jeanette. And so it goes, ad infinitum, Can no “white hope“ be found to fight ’em? 0 7 a When Miller Huggins and Branch Rickey get through telling us how a major League ball team should be run, we would like to hear from Messrs. Mack and McGraw on how to run a cat ranch. Jack Shelton can put himself back iu running as a member of the big three“ of the local lightweight fight division, by holding safe or defeating Leo Kelly, in their bout at the Future City Club. Shelton lost an eight-round fight to Harry Trendall not long since, but the fight was fairly close. Leo Kelly has fought Trendall fre- ‘|quently here and the result is still a doubt in the minds of friends of botn as to the net advantage of either over his rival. A victory for Shelton over the rugged Kelly would restore him to parity with the others. Kilbane-Attell Go Off. Jimmy Clabby, the Hammond Und.) mid- dleweight, and Bob McAllister of San Fran- cisco will furnish the fistic entertainment for Los Angeles fans the middle of January, if Tom McCarey’s plans go off right. It was intended to have the Kilbane-Attell re- turn engagement for this date, but McCarey and Coffroth got together and traded at- tractions, much to the relief of Los Angéles Hight-goers. who have no hankering to wit- ness Kilbane in action again. Clabby has accepted McCarey’s terms and it is not thought McAliister. who {is stopping here; will be hard to deal with.

— M TENNIS RULES AIMED AT YANKEE PLAYERS Quick Advance to the Net Hin- dered by Proposed Service Changes. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Exngland has 4 undertaken the task of revising the in- f a. ternational rules governing the Dwight avis trophy. The officials of the En- a lish Lawn Tennis Asgociation, accord- ins to the official bulletin received from London, desire: To regulate the sort of surface on which the cup matches may Properly be decided. Te establish the indisputable a . mationality of any player who may be named as a member of a competing cup team. Subjects of vital interest to Ameri- cans, and in connection with the future % of the Davis Cup, were discussed at the recent meeting of the English associa- The Britons have undertaken the task "of assuming the role of lawn tennis diplomats for the world, and they pro- se to offer the new rules for adoption at the meeting of the International Fed- ration, which will be held in Paris next March. The service rule which the English Fes is an echo of the great matches at Wimbledon last July in which the > apid start for the net on the part of aurice E. McLaughlin, R. Norris Wil- m@iams and Wallace F. Johnson was dep- 2 ecated. The adoption of the rule would erlousliy handicap Americans and also 4 he Germans and Frenchmen. The rule as framed follows: The server shall, before commenc- ing to serve, stand with both feet at rest on their ground behind the base line and within the limits of an imaginary continuation of the half-court line and the side lines and from such position shall deliver the 2 2— f- ——2— as World's F ight Champion Smith Has Better Claim| World’s Best Boston Negro’s Defeat of Joe Jeanette, and Johnson’s Virtual Retirement, Make the “Gunner” Scrapper. the world—in France. In England, quite naturally, the only world’s champion is Carpentier, the French boy who whips English Cham- pion Bombardier Wells whenever hie hasn't any real work on hand. Gunboat Smith will do well enough for a champion around here in America, at least until someone else shows that he can whip the Gunner. Gunboat has no rival, or will have none if he disposes of Pelkey. He has beaten Moran, Wil- lard, Rodel, Wells, Miller and many others. Hie victory over San Langford was the greatest jar handed the dope- sters in yahs and yahs.“ That little thing alone gives him every right in the world to be regarded as champion of America. Langford was the best black fighter in the country. Any man who can use Langford, Willard and Mo- ran and that lot as a commutation meal ticket, is good enough for us.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. | President Wilson would be fully justified in punishing those officers of the army and navy who participated in or countenanced the singing eof that disgraceful song at the banquet given by the Military Order of the Carabao. It was a gross and disgraceful insult to Secretary Bryan. as well as to President Wilson himself and the a@ministration’s policy. The President is in perfect accord with Secre- tary Bryan in regard to the Philippines. This incident shows the extreme danger to free- dom and American institutions and traditions from a large military establishment. This flag patriotism is run into the ground. It is silly, childish and superficial. Patriotism is Ike religion. To be effective and real it must lie deep down in the mental and moral nature * of every individual. Neither one consists in wear- ing and worshiping signs and symbols. i To fire on e flag is considered treason, but to fire on the constitution and the Declaration’ of Independence is considered a joke. There is only one real kind of treason, and that is to fire on the Constitution and the Declaration of Inde- pendence. What makes the army? The Constitu- tion. W makes the Congress? The Consti- tvtion, What makes the presidency? The Consti- tution. What. makes the Supreme Court and all the other Federal Courts? The Constitution. Then the whole National Government rests on the Constitu.- _ tion. Congress at any time can vote the flag black, red, yellow or green, or change it as they please, but neither the Congress and the President and the Supreme Court all combined can take one word away from, nor add one word to the Constitution. The Supreme Court, by frequent reference to the Declaration of Independence—the sublimest document the brain and heart of man ever cr 4, freedom's passionate birthcry, as Moses Coit Tyler of New York calls it—has in effect incorporated it in the Constitution. ö These army and navy officers seem to forget that they have taken an oath to support the Con- stitution. They prefer the triumph of brute force to that of moral principles. They long for in- creased pay and promotion. The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna about 10 years ago published a resume of the opinions of all the leading jour- nals of Europe on the policy of the then ex- isting Republican administration towards the Philippines. It showed that the unanimous opin- fon of all the leading European journals was that our subjugation of the Filipinos and our policy at that time towards them was a direct and flagrant violation of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. One of the greatest triumphs of President wii- son's splendid administration is that he is bring- ing back the golden days of the republic in put- ting moral ideas above brute force and degrading (materialism. Wilson will go down in history as the really ‘great man who rescued the American nation from its horri€ and debasing apostasy. The t's resignation from the Military Order :of Carabao was a fitting and stinging rebuke to those men who have degraded the honor of the 1 nation. H. FAUNTLEROY. metal Search Encourages Robbery.

Delay in its enact- ment has been due to some extent to popular errors and ignofance, but much more to the ob- stinacy and greed of men who made great claims to distinction as financiers and economists. The fundamental principles of an honest bank- ing system, providing a sound currency and establishing credit upon a substantial basis, have been near the hearts of Americans ever since they first assailed the corrupt and moncpolistic United States bank. Many of the mistakes that have been made by deluded parties and factions may be traced to the exasperating injustices of superior per- sons, who were just as mistaken and not 80 honest. It was not the learned professors or the skilled. financiers who created the independent treasury in 1840. It was the plain people then, as now, accused of misunderstanding fundamen- tal principles. The new institution did not pro- duce all of the results expected of it, but it did some things. It made another central bank for- ever impossible, It broke ground for today’s de- liverance. For more than 70 years most of our pretentious financiers have advocated make- shifts, always hoping that at some opportune moment they might reconstruct on a grand scale the old monopoly of money and credit. For more than 70 years, punics, cheap money credits and other distrac- tions, many of the plain people have cherished the belief that in due time they should acquire a banking system controlled by law and not by favor, and secure a stable currency equal to pub- lic needs and free from manipulation. If, during the period, the stage has been con- stantly set for depression and bankruptcy, the fault has been as much that of the financiers as of the people. Not ten men, but tens of thou- sands of honest men faithfully represented in Congress and in the White House have at length changed the whole order of things. Such an accomplishment worked out in toil and suffering is not an accident and it is not a miracle. It is the Will of the people, made mani- fest at last after years of struggle. It is the triumph of democracy in a field where the en- counter with its own delusions was less trying than the conflict with the pompous wrongs and vicious conceits of its adversaries. . = = * J Ae SMOKING CHIMNEYS. Chimneys no longer need pour out columns of coal smoke. Invention has provided smoke consumers which pay for themselves by cut- ting coal bills. All good citizens will wish to relieve St. Louis of the smoke clouds which so often float between the city and the sun. It is gratifying to learn the city smoke in- spector means actively to enforce the law against the others—who are not mindful of the health and comfort of their neighbors. = = 1 = INCORPORATED TIN BOX OUTLAWED. The clause of the currency bill defining the true quality of the deals by inside bank rings, which are known in St. Louis as incorporated tin box deals, has been altered in text several times since the original introduction of the measure. This is the way it stands as the bill passed the Senate and went to conference: Other than the usual salary or director's fee paid to any officer, director or employe of a member bank and other than a reasonable fee paid to such officer, director or employe acting as an attorney at law for legal services rendered to such bank, no officer, director, employe or attorney of a member bank shall be a beneficiary of or receive, directly or in- directly, any fee, commission, gift or other consideration for or in connection with any transaction or business of the bank. Any per- son violating any provision of this section shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $5000 or by imprisonment not exceeding one year. ‘Of course, this applies only to national banks and such dtate banks as subscribe to the stock of the regional bank, but it makes a legal wrong of the moral wrong perpetrated when bank officers extort a rakeoff from necessitous borrowers. States should, of course, have a like provision ap- rlying to banks organized under their laws. ST.LOUISPOST.DISPATOH) 2 aust -—_— = MR. BARTHOLDT WILL RETIRE. Mr. Bartholdt has decided to take the Post- Dispatch’s advice and announces that he will not be_a candidate to succeed himself in Con- gress. The task of picking out a truly repre- sentative man of progressive thought and popu- lar sympathies cannot begin too soon in the Tenth District. The selection should be made with a view to enabling the metropolitan dis- trict that ranks fourth in the entire country to exert at Washington the influence on construct- ive policies to which its importance and intelli- gence entitle it. Mr. Bartholdt’s retirement leaves Mr. Payne as the only conspleuous member of the veteran acd inveterate stand-pat crowd at Washington. = THE MEXICAN SITUATION. Madero revolted against Diaz, Huerta against Madero, Carranza against Huerta, and now Gen. Villa, Carranza’s northern field commander, sets himself up as an independent dictator in Chihua- hua. Huerta, failing to get loans in Europe, is squeez- ing every moneyed interest within reach, and tells a German paper he can put a million armed men ‘into the field to oppose American invasion. Mex- ico City correspondents report him periodically drunk. He must have been very drunk when he made that statement. It was a piece of arrant ‘}nonsense.

Without counting restaurants and hotel tables, there are in St. Louis, awaiting the country prod-. uce farmer, 140,000 breakfast, dinner and supper tables, needing supplies three times a day, or 21 times every week. A clever statistician could, per- baps, estimate what this would mean, in tons of butter, eggs, bacon and other good things the farmer has to sell. The result would be astonish- ing. There, is a wonderful future for the Furm- to- Table“ method of marketing farm produce, if it is developed on common-sense, business lines. This 1409,000-table market means, to the farmer, that he need no longer wait on the commission merchant or retailer for his profit. With the aid of the little “ad” in the proper column, he can get in direct touch with 140,000 householders or housewives, who will gladly give him orders, for shipment by parcel post or express, for all the butter, eggs, bacon and other table products he can possibly produce. But this market cannot be opened except by the key of plain business sense. It will continue to be supplied from the counter of the city retailer, unless the country producer can bring himself to see that city prices to the country producer are out of the question. Why should the city house- wife go to the trouble of sending away for things she can get at the same price just across the way or pound the corner? However, the cost of living is so high that even small concessions in prices “look good” to the city housewife, boarding housekeeper or hotel or restaurant buyer. Let the country producer stu prices and make his figures inviting to the city his ad, which the Post-Dispatch will place in as many homes, he will easily capture this new and invitiig market. =. i i Zapata announces a solemn pledge to hang Huerta and Rlanquet, but puts in the important proviso, “When I catch em.“ — — 181 MRE. HOUCHIN’S VIRGINIA CONTRAOT. An organization opposed to convict labor has made public the terms of the contract under which the Star Clothing Co., which employs a large num- ber of the prisoners at the Missouri Penitentiary, obtained the right to the services of 500 convicts ac the Virginia Penitentiary. The company is obligated to pay 85 cents a day for male convicts and 50 cents a day for wom- en convicts. The factory buildings only are fur- nished rent free by the State. The company must pay for power, water, heat and light and half the cost of keeping the freight elevators and sprink- ling system in repair. Overtime pay goes to the convicts. themselves. A clause in the contract pays tribute to the efficacy of laws requiring convict- made goods to be labeled as such. It is stipulated that in the event the United States or Virginia passes such a law, the company may, on giving six months’ notice, withdraw from the contract. This is the company which in Missouri refuses to pay more than 75 cents a day for male con- victs. The contract system, once abolished, is tol- erated only on probation. Preparations should now be under way for substituting the State ac- count plan at the earliest practical moment. = = MAKING THE LAW RESPECTED. The Bell telephone-telegraph combine’s volun- tary agreement with Attorney-General McReynolds to obey the anti-trust law seems to prove, among other things, that active consideration of Govern- ment ownership by the Democratic House caucus is an excellent method of making the private owners of public services respect the people’s laws. * a When Orville Wright completes his task of mak: ing the aeroplane “fool-proof,” he can earn the gratitude of all the walkers by turning his atten- The Senate substitute for the Glass currency bill makes an interesting departure in prescrib- ing how the six out of nine directors of each regional bank, whose choice is given to the bank- ing fraternity, are to be selected in each Federal reserve district. Local banks subscribing to the stock of the regional banks are each permitted to name one “elector” as a member of one of three voting boards to be instituted in every district. Each of the three voting boards chooses two di- rectors in the following manner: Each elector shall make a cross opposite the name of the first, second and other choices for a director of class A and for a director of class B. Any candidate having a majority of all votes cast in the column of the first choice shall be declared elected. if no candidate have a majority of all the votes in the first column, then there shall be added together the votes by the electors for such candidates in the second column to the votes cast for the several candidates in the frst column. If any candidate then have a ma- jority of the electors voting, by adding to- gether the, first and second choices, he shall be declared elected. If no candidate have a majority when the first and second choices have been. added, then the votes cast in the third column shall be added together in like manner and the candidate then having the highest number of votes shall be deoaredg elected. This, of course, is the preferential ballot. In fact it is specifically referred to as the “prefer. ’ ential ballot” in the text of the act, being the first Federal recognition the new idea has received. Had it been devised earlier, perhaps the original purpose the forefathers designed the Electoral College to fulfill in choosing a President might have proved workable. 7 But if the preferential ballot fs a practical meth Pee — — — consumer.

The gay old devil on Olive street, With tan shoes on his cloven feet; In a full dress suit and a stovepipe hat— The devil looked sleek and strong and fat. He passed a big department store— Old Nick had been past it just before; He grinned at the girls and at them leered, He bowed to the cops“ and at them sneered. He dropped a nickle in a beggar's box, For the devil was rich and had the “rocks;”’ He gave a quarter to an army lass, He looked in the windows and said „Hal ha! These are the times for the nets to draw. Christmas time, the ‘gay Yuletide— Now are my harvests rich and wide! “The people eat and the people drink, And from no excess the souls will shrink; They dance and dance on the tips of their toes, But I lead them on and twist each nose Then he strode into a big dance hall, Where the gilded rays of the chandelier fall; . And there he gazed upon the host, And wondered of all who served him most. / „Ha!“ said the devil, “this is the place Tu run the Bishop a hot footrace; Tu catch these souls and hobble them well, And brand them each with the brand of hell. “Look at that girl, a maiden fair, With the gold of the sun Wove in her And a half a dollar to a priest for mass..

Then the devil tripped the gay Tango, And hugged his pretty partner 80; She said to him, Don't get too gay, You giddy old boy of yesterday.” Then the devil danced the “grizzly bear” With a pretty girl with nut brown hair, With red slit gown—slit to her knees; Quoth the devil then, “She is my cheese.“ „ Tis well,“ quoth the devil, my work is done g The work my craft from the first be- gun; Here a straddle and there a stride And away we go in a giddy glide. “From the river front to the far West End On these my minions I can depend; These. souls are singed by their hot de- sires— They catch their heat from my pent-up fires. “Let the sad priests chant—let the par- sons pray— From the river front to King’s high- Way: But there's not a power the soul to win From these giddy glides in these haunts of sin. “Preach and pray and pray and preach— I've a champion born to answer each!“ Then the devil laughed like a smothered yell, And Tangoed down to the gates of hau.

BISHOP ATTACKS MANIA Voting Will Not Cure Every Vice, Warren Chandler Says; Opposes Woman Suffrage. ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 22.—The de- sire of Americans to reform every.~ thing by the ballot was attacked in a sermon today, by Bishop’ Warren Chandler of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church. “The American mind,” said Bishop Chandler, seems to be infected with what may be called the superstition of the ballot. Many men, otherwige sane, are foolish enough to think re- form can be brought about by tho result of an election and in conse- quence we are having all sorts of elections on questions which ought not be in politics. “These men ought to be reforming their own lives and those of their children, and then they would lack time to be clamoring for elections on all sorts of issues. “We would not need so many re- forms if there were more religion in the homes of the land. Many women also have fallen un- der the delusion that voting will re- form every vice and establish every virtue on the earth. But the plain fact is that woman suffrage, where it has been tried, has not accom- plished any such end. “Vicious women have outvoted the virtuous and nothing more has been cccomplished than the increase of „the ballots to be counted after the polls closed. The world cannot be saved by the votes of either men or women, but it ‘will be greatly dam- aged by women neglecting the home to engage in political strife. Women cannet afford the ballot,’ \ Receptive Sweets.
