Dowie called upon his followers from
all parts of the country to move to
Zion. and they came. He had adopted
advaned ideas of health, cleanliness,
and sanitation from the Mormons and
improved upon them.
Zion City seemed huilded literally
and really niton the sands. There was

Always an Eye to Business.
"Russell Sage is as easy to reach

said a newspaper man whose work

a century. "I u.-ed to wonder why it
was so and whether Uncle Russell was
more democratic than the other fel
lows. But 1 have finally settled upon
the reason. It is not fraternity and
equality, but business. Sage has money

Shortly afterward Stevenson and
Dowie quarreled. Stevenson went to

Zion's rule of arbitration. He pot a

and finally the case was compromised,

marvelous success. Yet at times his
desire to extend his religious views
had seriously hampered his business
ventures.
June 2, 1001, standing before a preat
crowd in the Auditorium at Chicago he
declared himself Klijah III. He did
not press the point strongly at first,
but the ICIijuh idea kept working and
b," desreeo people came to understand
that Dowie claimed himself to be
Klijah the Restorer, the reincarnation
of Klijah the Destroyer, who was fed
by the ravens and finally was trans
lated. He declared that Elijah the
Destroyer reappeared again as John
the Haptist. who was Elijah the Pre
parer, and that he, Dowie, was the third!
and last manifestation of Elijah. He
called ujion his people to believe this
and they believed.
This idea was what interfered with
his business. He startled Chicago over
si year ago by sending down swarms of
his followers from Zion City to make
visitations from house to house and
fell about Elijah III. But not much'
attention war. paid to it until, early
lajt spring. Dowie announced that in
October he Intended to take his host
a ad restore I.'ew York. His invasion
f New York was the most spectacular
'hing Dowie ever did. He took over
.':.ie of his followers, put them on
ten special trains, and rushed them
down to New York, where for a fort
night he conducted meetings in Madi
son Square garden and in Carnegie
hall.
That trip drained Zion City of its
surplus working capital. It took over
$30o.nno out of the new town and left
it in bad financial condition as far as
working capital was concerned. Then
came the rush of creditors and pos
sibly the end.
Blushing a Lost Art.
A well-known New York societj
wornan says blushing is a lost art
among American women. This state
ment is called out by a cable report
frein London which says that a young
woman there had met with great sue
ce.-s teaching her sisters how not to
blush. "What a great many women in
this part of the world need." said the
society leader quoted, "is someone to
teach them how to blush. I can't re
member when I have seen a blush in
years, except in the faces of very sen
sitive young men, or perhaps a few
Tery few, schoolgirls."

WHO KNOWS. INDEED?
The Kansas City Journal, a republi
can paper, recently objected to the as
set currency plan. A Kansas banker
wrote to the Journal calling its atten
tion to the fact that the 1'nited States
is steadily reducing the national debt,
saying: "It is fair to assume that in
time there would be no United States
bonds with which to secure a bank cir
culation." and asking. "Are we. then,
to have no paper money issued by the
banks?"
In reply. th Journal beats consid
erably about the bush. It declares that
it has never asserted that note issu
ing is not a proper function of the
banks. It explains that "the nearest
It has come to such a statement was i
the declaration tha probably nine-j

a function oi tne government.
Then th Journal points out that j
in France and England the note-issu- !
ing function is restricted to a single'
gieat financial institution, being "prac-I
tically" under the control of the gov-J
eminent; and it adds that the Kansas
banker will probably say that the;
Journal has made the. argument for a.
great United States bank similar to the
Bank of England, com hiding: "Well,
the wisest financial minds of America
have never ceased to regret the wreck
of the federal bank accomplished by
Andrew Jackson, and who knows what
this currency agitation may yet bring
forth?" "
To be sure, who knows what this cur
rency agitation may yet bring forth?
In the opinion of many of the smaller
and yet intellige-nt bankers ed' the coun
try, asscl currency means, ultimately,
branch banks and branch banks means
a great banking monopoly, and. ulti
mately, one great banking institution
exercising direct control over all the
banking institutions of the country, and
thus placing the people more complete
ly in the power of the financiers than
thev are even in this day. That is tne

to the Journal a question very perti- ! ve: tigat ion into the aii'-K'-d v.ror.g-do-
nent in its application to republican
newspapers whose editors objert to
asset currency. Vv nen there ate no
longer government bonds upon which
banks may issue notes, or when ihe
bankets will not use them as a basis
for note issue, what will be the plan of
the government for providing the peo
ple with currency? Is it not true mat
the choice will sooner or later rest
between some form of asset currency
and bimetallism? Between a currency
issued upon wind, so far as the bank
ers aie concerned, and yet for which
currency the government stands spon
sor and a currency issued by the gov
ernment based upon the coinage of the
constitution? Is .i not reasonable to
believe that these republican editors
must sooner or later choose between
an asset currency, and a currency is
sued by the government and redeem
able in gold or silver under a itstora
tion of the bimetallic system.
