THE CURRENCY BILL
,
WILL NOW CLAIM THE ATTENTION
01 THE SENATE
? <
TOO MANY ABSENTEES
Ah Soon ns Tariff Kill Was Passed
Senators ami Congrossnien Left
Capital on Vacations Which May
Cause lH'lay in Deinocnwy's Work
of Platform Fulfillment.
Political Washington, relieved of
the long drawn out consideration of
the tariff bill, will focus its attention
this week on the second of the Democratic
reform measures?banking
and currency legislation. Through
the administration currency bill easily
passed the House, its pathway in
the Senate admittedly is full of obstacles.
At present the Senate banking
committee has not yet begun consideration
of the bill Predictions fit the
Capitol are general that tho Senate
committee will be at work for a
month on tho measure.
While there was unanimity on tariff
revision, widely divergent views
are held by Democratic Senators on
banking reform. A strong desire for
a single bank with branches, under
government control, instead of a regional
reserve system of hanks, has
made its appearance in the informal
discussion. Other changes of a farreaching
character generally as
doubtful if a bill satisfactory to the
Senate banking committee can reach
tho floor of the Senato before tho
middle of November.
At the White House there is a confidence
that tho bill will ho passed
this session or placed on the statute
hooks before tho first of the year.
The President wants thorough consideration
of tho currency hill and
any improvement that (he Senate can
make upon the measure as passed by
tho House will be welcomed. Ills disposition,
however, is to strongly oppose
any undue delay. President
Wilson believes a general decrease
in the cost of living that will bo felt
by the rank and Hie of the country, is
not alone dependent on tariff revision,
but upon prompt reform of the
nation's monetary system as well as
careful amendment of the anti-trust
laws.
The President's view of the effect
of the tariff is in accordance with
expressions from Representative Underwood
and other Democratic leaders
that while the reductions in some
cases will be immediate, the general
benefits will not at once bo apparent.
Even though the tariff laws might
bring many imports into this country
at low rates or free of tduty, the evils
of price fixing, underselling and other
discriminations in restraint of
trade might* in the President's opinion,
defeat the fruits of tariff reform.
The way in which Senators and
jrcfi-M uaunuiu ves ki,i ciwuy iroiu wasnington
after the last decisive vote on
the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill
was a caution. Many of the members
who departed did not wait for the
technical repassage of the measure in
the House after the Senate had taken
its last vote. It was understood that
the Republicans would not raise the
point of no quorum on that procedure
of technical parliamentary consummation,
but if this understanding had
not held, or if its terms had been misunderstood
by the Republican leaders,
President Wilson would not have
been able to sign the bill last week.
Now it is easy enough to appreciate
the desire of the average Senator and
Representative to get away for a
breathing spell and for attention to
private affairs in the lull after the
tariff achievement. It is further truo
that the departure of the average
(Senator or member who lives within
a few hours' journey of the Capitol
does not signify seriously, as he can
get back to Washington in a jiffy
when the S. O. S. signal is sent out.
But thero are a great many legisla
tors away who can not get back to
Washington in a Jiffy and who ought
to have remained at their posts until
the urgent deficiency bill was passed.
What good excuse the latter class
of members can give for leaving at a
critical time, when the Republicans
have served notice that they intend to
raise the point of no quorum to block
a big supply bill, it is impossible to
perceive. It would seem that legislators
who are paid $7,HOG a year
could stay at their work as well as
school children who get no salaries,
but the average percentage of attendance
of able-bodied lawmakers in
Washington by no means equals that
of able-bodied pupils in the public
schools.
Most of the Representatives who
left Washington for distant polnas
Friday and Saturday, in the face of
an appeal from Floor Leader Underwood
for them to stick around until
the deficiency bill had been passed,
will have to come back at their own
expense to make the needed quorum
that is, if the quorum is to bo got.
By remaining at the seat of government
a few more days they could
have saved themselves trouble and
expense and the risk of being embarrassed.

PHILLIPINE FREEDOM
?
WILSON'S SCHEME GUAItANTEES
NATIVE COXTKOL.
Gov.-Gen. Harrison AnnouncoN President's
Plan to Give Natives a ^lajorlty
on Commission.
Ultimate independence for the Filipino
people is contemplated in the
policy of President Wilson announced
a few days ago in the inaugural
address of Francis Burton Harrison,
the new governor-general of the
Phillipines. The first step in the
President's policy toward the islands
is to have a majority of the Phlllipine
commission composed of Filipinos,
thus giving tho islanders immediate
control in the higher body
of the Philliplne Congress, which corresponds
to the Senate in the American
Congress.
The Manilla manifesto will he soon
put into effect, when Ameriran Commissioner
Frank A. 'Branagan and
Vlce-Governor Gilbert, are retired in
the near future. Their places will
be filled by natives. Two new American
commissioners, however, will be
named to take the places of Commissioners
Worcester and Elliott, recently
resigned. This will give the Filipinos
six commissioners in the higher
legislative body of tho Phillipines and
tho Americans three, insuring native
control, as the Filipinos already have
a mapority in the lower body.
Up to this time the commissioners
have boon named by appointment
and there have been five American^
and two natives 011 the board.
Under American rule Filipino civilization
lias advanced far beyond any
standard set in the Orient under
Spanish control. A general school
system has been established. The
judicial system is comparable with
that of most American states and the
archipelago has enjoyed prosperity.
In the new policy the future of the
islands is placed in the bands of the
natives and the next steps toward independence
will depend on the mea.sui'Q
of ability demonstrated by the
Filipinos in their first efforts at selfgovern
ment.

Although Atlanta has the reputation
of being a wideawake and modern
city, her people every once in a
while get taken in for a scheme that
would be recognized as an antiquated
fake in Social Circle or Frog Level.
An elderly lady on North Side was
visited a couple of weeks ago by aprosperous
looking real estate agent who
talked about Texas investments and
on leaving handed her a* numbered
certificate.
'This may not he worth anything,"
ho told her, "but keep it carefully. In
connection with the sale a number of
lots will be disposed of by chance, and
there is a possibility that you may
hold the winning number.". Duly impressed,
sho put the certificate in the
China vase on the mantlepiece in the
sitting room, and forgot all about it.
A day or two ago another stranger
apepatfed.
"Yott*varo Mrs. So-and-So? You
aro the holder of certificate No. 4 87?
Well in that case I congratulate you
as you have won a handsome lot in
Buncoville, Texas. By letting me
have $.r> to pay for recording the title,
you can tako immediate possession."
Tho lady joyfully paid the cash, and j
after tho agent had gone, called up
her friends to tell them of her good

tho year when these flim-flam artists
come around, and the only safe way
is to have nothing to do with them or
their little schemes. We all remember

TO DRIVE THEM OUT
CHARLESTON'S ALLEGED TIGERS
BEFORE GRAND JURY
290 NAMES HANDED IN
Judge How-man Makes Strong Charge,
Telling (.'rand Jury Possession of
Kevenue License is Prima Facie
evidence of Violation of Dispensary
liaw and enough for True Hill.
Two hundred and ninety indictments,
each one for violation of the
law by the illegal selling and storing
of liquor, were handed to the Charleston
grand jury Wednesday morning
by Solicitor John H. Peurlfoy. In
a special charge to the jurors, in
which he explained their duty to
them, Judge Bowman cited to them
Section 838, of the Criminal Code of
South Carolina, telling the Jurors
that was as far as they need go and
they were to bring in a true bill on
tiiia cviut^uuc. !
Section 838 of the Criminal Code,
cited by Judge Bowman, is as follows:
"The payment of the United
States special tax as a liquor seller,
or notice of any kind In any place of
resort, or in any store or shop, indicating
that alcoholic liquors aro
there sold, kept, or given away, shall
be held to he prima facie evidence,
that the person or persons paying;
such tax, and tlie parties displaying!
such notices, are acting in violation ,
of this chapter (Chapter XXIX, Regulations
in Reference to Alcoholic
Liquors)
Judge Bowman having charged the
grand jury that this was sufficient
evidence on which to bring in true
bills against the persons indicted, the
prosecution placed in evidence with
the grand jury, it is understood, a.
certified copy of the names of the in-,
dieted persons as they appeared on
the hooks of the United States collector
of internal revenues the middle
of September, the certification being
made to all the names by D. Clinch
Ileyward, collector of internal revenues.
Tliis list of licenses constitute
prima facio evidence under the law.
However, it is understood that the
prosecution does not desire to stop
this and several witnesses have been
summoned to appear before the jury
to testify. One of the witnesses summoned
to testify against the persons
indicted is Chief of Police James R
Cant well. Thus far the Law and
Order League has not presented to
the grand jury any of its cases
against gambling House keepers or
other persons violating tho law
against whom evidence has been connected.
All tho indictments turned
over by Solicitor Peurifoy were for
alleged illicit liquor selling.
Tho grand jury has held three sessions
in the present matter, but has
done nothing. With the indictments
handed them by solicitor and the witnesses
having been secured for them
by the solicitor, with the evidence, it
is likely that tho jurors will take
some action immediately. *
