HAS THREE BILLS
SENATE BECINS TUSSLE ON CURRENCY
PROBLEM
?
COMMITTEE DISAGREE
Senators Will Have to Pass on Three
Separate Hills, Fostered by the
House, the Senate Democratic
Committeemen and the Republican
Members of the Committee Aided
by Hitchcock.
Three separate currency bills, all
based upon the same general theory,
will be laid before the Senate by the
divided banking and currency committee,
which has been split into two
distinct factions. Unable to agreo on
amendments the committee will present
the Glass-Owen bill as originally
endorsed by tho administration
and passed by the House. Tho measure,
with amendments assumed to
be acceptable to tho President, will
be submitted by Chairman Owen and
fivo other Democrats of the committee,
Senators Pomcrene, llollis, Heed,
O'Gorman and Shafroth. A bill materially
changing tho structure of the
House measuro will bo presented by
tho Republicans, Senators Nelson,
\\'ool> ? lll'lcfnu' \T/?T mi ?i f1""*"
. . VX/..M) . ' .??VW II , iUVUVCUl (UIU v. 1 ll ford,
and Senator Hitchcock.
All three of the proposed hills contemplate
the issuance of a currency
secured by commercial paper held by
the banks of the country. Each proposes
the establishment of reserve
banks, which will issue the currency
in exchango for commercial paper to
the banks, which will hold the reserves
behind their deposits, mobilized
for use in any emergency, and
which will rediscount the paper held
by banks in the system, thus always
keeping available ample credit and
currency for use to ward off financial
crises. Each bill proposes to put the
entire system under the control of a
Federal reserve board to bo appointed
by the president.
Although agreeing as to the purposes
to be accomplished by the proposed
legislation the three plans differ
in almost every point as to means
provided to carry out these purposes.
As it passed the TTouso the GlassOwen
bill proposed tho creation of
12 regional banks. Tho Democrats
of the Senate committee cut that
down to eight, the minimum number
to four, holding that tho smaller
number could more effectively concentrate
the reserves of the country.
The twelve regional banks proposed
by the House bill would bo owned
by tho banks, through compulsory
subscription to the stock, and the
banks would elect six of tho ninej
directors of each regional institution.
This plan was retained by tho Democrats
of tho Senate committee, although
it was further provided that
if the banks did not furnish enough
capital to run the system tho stock
might be sold to tho public.
On this point Senator Hitchcock
and tho Republicans departed from
tho administration theory of creating
a "bank of banks" and materially
changed the bill. They provided that
tho reserve bank's capital should be
subscribed by tho public, tho banks
taking whatever part tho public
would not take, and that tho government,
through tho Federal reserve
board, should appoint five of tho nine
directors of each regional bank. This
was tho proposition which split the
Sonato committee into two camps.
In tho House bill the paper made
eligible for rediscount and as a basis
for currency is commercial paper,
based on actual merchandising transaction,
maturing in not less than
ninety days. This provision was retained
by the Democrats, but the Republicans
broadened materially. Under
their bill a part of tho member
banks rediscounts may be mado in
paper maturing up to six months.
Under the House bill and tho draft
by tho Senato committee Democrats,
tho regional bank directors would
have discretion as to redlscounting
for member banks without limit. In
the Republican bill, each member
bank is given tho right to secure rediscounts
up to the full amount of its
capital and under a tax to twice that
amount.
Doth tho House bill and tho Owen
bill would allow country banks to
loan on one-year farm mortgages.
The Republicans amended this to allow
banks to loan one-third of their
time deposits on five-year farm mortgages.
Tho Republicans eliminated from
tlio bill a provision which would have
required national banks to maintain
separate departments to handle savings
account business. Numerous
other difference, principally on minor
matters or relating to tho language
of tho measure, are apparent.

"Will Send Him a Friend,
Tho Washington correspondent
who sent out tho report that Governor
Bleaso would not bo in tho Senatorial
raco, also said tho Democrats
thero woro elated over tho report, as
Bleaso's election would embarrass
President Wilson's Administration,
Tho President nebd not worry, the
people of South Carolina will not
send any one but a friend of hla to
the BenaU.
There Are Two of Them.
Mr. Vanderllp, who is employed by
Wall Street interests to run the New
York City National Hank, may bo, as
ho claims, tho greatest President of
the greatest bank in the greatest city
of the greatest State of the greatest
Republic, but does it follow that the
people of tho United States in their
political capacity should bow down to
him and let him dictate our financial
policies to suit him and his Wall
Street master? Wo do not think so.
The World says "there is a President
at Washington who is greater
even than Vanderlip; who speaks not
for a class but for all; who represents
no interests but public interests;
whose responsibilities aro to tho people
and not to Standard OH stockholders,
and tho field of whoso activities
is not Wall street but tho world.
"Whether the mighty Vanderlip is
to bo heard for himself alono or in
part for thoso who have made him
what he is, we beg him not to bo
ridiculous. When it conies to nn issue
in this country between President
Vanderlip and President Wilson, we
know as well as wo shall know a year
hence what tho result must be."
It is hard for men like Vanderlip
to reconcile themselves to tho new
order of tilings at Washington. They
have been used to having a man in
the White House who did their bidding
without question. Hut it is dif
iovent now. woodrow Wilson is the
master, while the Republicans who
preceded him as President, were the
servants of Wall Street and men of
the Vanderlip type. And it is hard
j for them to realizo the fact, but they
will realize it before President Wilson
and the Democratic Senato and
House gets through with their reform
measures. Verily tho people
are at the bat.
? .
The Reform Wave Rolls On.
Tammany has just received the
worst defeat in its history but Tammany
has a habit of surviving defeat
and of riding into power again after
a year or two of exclusion. All of
which goes to show that the forces of
reform and good government must
keep everlastingly at it if any permanent.
good is to result. We hear about
a wave of reform, but what is needed
is not a mere wave that rolls majestically
along but soon passes leaving
nothing very lasting in its wake except
a memory. The forces of evil
never take a vacation and neither
must the forces of civic and political
righteousness if permanent good is
to be accomplished. Some wise person
once said with a good deal of
truth that "eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty". In like manner it
may be said that eternal vigilance is
the price of civic and political purity.
The results in New York, aj^d similar
triumphs from time to time in other
cities and states where continued and
unblushing corruption had become intolerable
prove that decent peoplo are
in the majority in almost every place
and that they havo the power when
they choose to exert themselves.
"Where is My JU>y To-night."
In well nigh every community
there are parents who do not know,
and who seemingly do not care
where their boys spend their evenings
or the company they mingle with.
Such parents are guilty of criminal
negligence and they are mainly to
blame if their boys, because of that
neglect, go to the bad. It is the duty
of every father and mother to safeguard
the morals of their boys, and
to do that they must exerciso wise
vigilanco and authority. The best
safeguard is to make the home life
pleasant and attractive and to invite
young peoplo of good character to
meet their children in their own
homes. Hut no homo can bo made
attractive and winsome if the parents
almost every night in the week aro
absent at some club or other meeting,
and it is just there where the fatal
weakness lies in many a home. Chil-1
dren aro the most precious treasures
a home can have but lota of parents
aeem to have no sense of value. If
they had, they would look more carefully
after the treasure.
?
Why Some Children Are Had.
In many cases where parents com
plain of the behavior of their children
they forget that their children
' have good cause to complain of the
. behavior of their parents. It is un
reasonable to expect children to bo
> distinguished by good conduct if the
i example set them by their parents is
i not good. Children are born lmlta!
tors and not all the precepts one may
i utter arc equal to the example given.

HANDS IN REPORT
INSPECTOR TELLS OF SOUTH CAROLINA
COMPANIES
SIX FOUND DEFICIENT
?
In llis Statement to War Department
lie Tells of Changes Needed in the
Otlier (Companies in Order to Hring
Them to the Efficiency Demanded?Makes
No ltocommendntions.
The war department at Washington
Wednesday wrote tho governor of
South Carolina a letter bearing on
the recent inspection of South Carolina
troops and while tho department
declined to make public tho contents
of this letter before it has been
received by tho governor, it is understood
that in plain terms it calls attention
to tho very unsatisfactory
condition of tho troops at tho present
time, says a dispatch to The
Mm vv. i iivui. v / w i i /(i > iu o11 ti 11 ivn
of the army luado an inspection of the
troops in compliance with orders
from the secretary of was between
October G ami October 21, 1913.
The object was to determino tho
condition of tho twclvo companies
which had been inspected and reported
as unsatisfactory at an inspection
made in March and April, 1913. "1
do not wish to make any recommendation
in regard to these companies,"
the report says. "Thero may be considerations
affecting them or important
reasons for retaining them that
are not fully known to mo. The following
expression or opinion regarding
their present condition and reasonable
prospect of improvement is
based upon the idea that the United
States desires to encourage military
instruction in every way; it does not
want to withdraw opportunity for
military instruction in any caso where
it seems reasonable to suppose that
tho government may receive even a
fair return for the money invested or
tho efforts made.
"Based upon this idea it is my belief
that tho companies located at
Chesterfield, Bamberg, Barnwell,
Bennettsville, Conway and Lancaster
are in such condition as to render it
extremely improbable that the govcernment
would ever recelvo from
them any kind of satisfactory service.
The company at Walterboro, I believe,
has improved to an extent such
as to warrant its continuance without
change in the commissioned personnel."
The companies at Ellorce, Darlington
and Comnanv CI. Sornnd Tnfnnfrv
at Columbia, have an enlisted personnel
that would promise considerable
improvement with changes in the
commanding officers the report says.
Company 13, Second South Carolina
infantry, is referred to as being
"not in as good shapo as any of the
last three mentioned," and it is intimated
that hero should bo a change
in its commanding ofllcer also.
"Company 13 First infantry, at Liberty
Hill, has no armory or proper
store rooms," the report goes on. "Its
membership is scattered over the surrounding
country. The showing of
this company under all its disadvantages
was fairly good, and its enlisted
personnel in physiquo and appearance
and drill was ahout as good as any I
saw Ah n_ drill inBlriiflnp Uu oontoln
was quito as good as any."
An analysis of this in tho absence
of specific and more direct information
which is contained in tho letter
from tho war department to the governor
of South Carolina, leaves llttfo
room to doubt that, taken as a wholo
and with special reference to tho companies
at Chesterfield, Romberg,
Barnwell, Bcnnettsville, Conway and
Lancaster, the federal authorities are
not satisfied with their showing. This
is the state of their condition even after
tho warning order which several
of tho South Carolina companies received
from tho war department last
summer.
Tt will bo noted also that the companies
at Elloreo, Darlington, and
Companies C and R at Columbia must
show improvement before their general
condition will ho satisfactory to
tho secretary of war. It is assumed
that upon receipt of this letter from
tho secrotary of war to tho governor
e o ^, 11, /~i ^ ? 1: ~ i. -- A ' - ' *'? * >
ui uuuni vjtii uuiiii i>y nm iciiiur, tno
matter will assume definite shapo. It
will then bo known also whether or
not any of tho South Carolina troops
are to lose their federal appropriation
or whether they will continue as at
present.

About a Wiir With Mexico.
Capt. Chas. Petly, of Spartanburg,
says: "You need not fear a war with
Mexico. Nobody wants it hut capitalists
who havo invested millions in
that country, army and navy contractors,
tho powder trust and war
advocates who would not fight if
thoro wore a hundred wars in progross."
That sizes up tho situation
exactly.

Tramps cost t ho United States
$200,000 a day, according to the estimate
of Prof. William Pulley, of the
chair of economics in Tale university.
In a roco.it address at Springfleld,
Mass , he called attention to the
tramp evil and declared die only wa>
to eliminate the undesiral-lo loafers
is not to give a penny o? a hi to to
eat to a tra np unless ho works for it.
Tho tramp is naturally voracious,
Prof. Pailey observes, and once he Is
compelled to work for what ho eats
ho will seek steady employment so
that he can command what ho desires
as his food.
".Jails aro of no value In solving
tho tramp problem," says Prof. Pailey.
"Tramps discuss jails as most
people do summer resorts and then
select tho town in which they will
commit a depradation so as to have
a winter home."
There are four grades of tramps In
the United States, according to Prof.

Kobol Chief at Tuxpam Answors Ad?
iniral Fletcher, Saying Caprice or
Vengeance Does Not Control Him.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, commandIng
tHo American fleet on tHo oast
coast of Mexico, lato Friday cabled
the navy department a messago ho
had received from Gen. Agullar, tho
Constiutionalist leader, who has occupied
tho vicinity of Tuxpam, giving
assurances that American and
other extensive oil interests in that
territory would bo protocted.
Admiral Fletcher is under orders
to tako such steps as may bo necessary
to protect foreign lives and
property, reports from Tuxpam having
indicated that the Constitutionalists
were threatening to destroy the
tanks of British oil interests. This
led to talk of the possibility of landing
marines or bluejackets from tho
American battleships, and develop- j
ments in tho situation havo been
awaited with intense interest. Gen,
Aguilar's message, sent in reply to
Admiral Fletcher's demand that no
harm should come to foreigners or
their property, said:
"I am governing on a constitutional
basis, my attitude being to guarantee
the interests of all foreign and
domestic oil corporations existing in
the territory I occupy, fulfilling in
this manner <he rlemnn/la
(ion and not being governed by caprico
or vengeance."
Officials tbink thin means that
(hero will bo no troublesome complications
as a result of Agullar's occupation
of the oil Hold territory. Destruction
of tbo tanks would have endangered
lives of many Americans
and other foreigners. Two British
cruisers liavo been ordered to tho
scene, but, in tbo meantime, tho United
States lias been asked to guard
British interests.
Frequent conferences Friday botween
Secretary Bryan, Counsellor
John Bassott Moore and Acting Secretary
Roosevelt and two visits by
the Secretary of State to tho White
House, accompanied by Mr. Roosevelt,
were the outward marks of tho
deep interest felt in official circles in
tbo Mexican situation.
It developed that the welfare of
the Madoro brothers and their relatives,
who bad sought asylum in tho
American consulate at Vera Cruz,
was the feature of these conferences.
There was a strong desire on the part
of the administration to learn whether
any resistance had been offered by
tbo Mexican authorities to the removal
of tbo refugees aboard a battleship,
and it was quite apaprent that a
sense of relief was experienced when
It was learned that it had not been
necessary to mploy force.
Late in tho day tho department received
a cablegram from Admiral
Fletcher announcing that "Daniel
Madero and five companions were received
this morning on board
tbo Louisiana as refugees." Tt was
said at the navy department that no
special Instructions had been given
in regard to tho treatment of tho
refugees, though Admiral Fletcher
bad been told to confer with John
Bind, who had been authorized by
President Wilson himself to extend,
protection to the Maderos.
