TWO BAD BILLS If the emergency currency bill becomes a law, it will only do so through the votes of members of congress who believe it is a measure of political advantage. All our Indiana men in the lower house voted for it. We are given to understand that they have little or no confidence in Its merits; but they do believe, no one can doubt, that it means votes for them at the November elections. On its merits, the final draft is a combination of two bad bills —Aidrich's in the senate and Vreeiand’s in the house. It has the support of no Democrats, sound though some of them are on currency reform, and is opposed on its passage by representative statesmen like Fowler of New Jersey and Hill of Connecticut. Much of its original plan has been amended out of it It is patchwork and honeycomb. The principle of clearing house associations has been all shot to pieces, the reserve and interest features are entirely different from the original plan, and the securities requirement ha; been completely transformed. If there is any feature of the final bill that belonged with the original proposal, it is the idea that a so-called emergency currency, issued under the stress of impending panic, will allay the fear which it is unavoidably certain to suggest and to promote. What would be the effect upon Indianapolis, for example, if it were known that the banks had held an all-day Sunday conference and had decided to put out $1,000,000 of emergency notes? How

many would by that action be teas- ’ sured? How many, on the other hand, would by that action be scared into hoarding of funds? Does congress actually believe that the pourI ing of this special and unusual currency into the circulation, confidence < would be instilled into a people al- < ready alarmed or a people that had ■ as yet no indication of coming trou- . ble? No, congress does not profess to believe anything of the sort. It frankly pronounces the measure a re- ( sort to “faith cure.” That is to say, ; congress believes that a thing that < has no economic value will have a 1 political value because the people will accept this emergency currency . as a preventive and cure of panic. . We would fain believe that our con- i gressmen have done injustice to the popular intelligence. But our Indiana congressmen are not tyros in politics. , Humiliating as the confession is, the . conclusion is inescapable that congress offers a humbug measure to the people in full conviction that they will acI claim it as genuine and manifest a due and proportionate gratitude. And perhaps congress is right Could it be truthfully said that econmic heresy or extravagant appropriations will mark a candidate for re-election or defeat? Is it the honest and fearless public servant who can count positively on re-election over a shifty and trimming office seeker, oily with the arts of popularity? The question is one not easily answered, but it may profitably from the occasion for heart searching on the part of voters who yield to impulses of “good fellowship" and speci6us appeals of demagogy Instead of acting upon solid convictions as to character of candidates and actual merits of humbug or pernicious legislation.—lndianapolis Star. An advertisement in the Daily Democrat is as certain to produce results as the dropping of a lighted match in a powder barrel is to cause an explosion. There is a strong probability that the great railroad corporations of

this country will undertake to make : large bond issues fcr the purpose of refunding their outstanding obligations, constructing additional tracks, and otherwise enlarging and improving their respective lines. There is wisdom in this policy, provided the water is squeezed out of their oid bonds. Thus refunded, the bonds of these corporations will not be subject to such fluctuations as have occurred in the past. When railroad bonds are based upon real value, they ought to be fully as good as national bank stock. WELLENTERTAINED Were the Decatur Gentlemen Whe Were Guests of Judge R. K.

Commissioner Weriing Knows How to Raise Lemons. County Commissioner David Werling brought in the first sample of a lemon crop, the same being raised in Adams county. The lemon on display in this office is large, solid and the real thing in every way. The tree is three or four years old, it having been cared for and raised by Mr. Werling. During the winter it had a place in his home and then when the weather permitted. It was transplanted in the ground. The lemons this year are so large that a raging wind lays them low. Mr. Werling has no intention of engaging in this particular agricultural industry, but the novelty of the experiment has been fascinating.
