ZMf RirjrCl CVRRESCT TLAfS.
Events of tho last two weeks nave
awakened a new Interest Hi the ques
tion ol reiurm in banking methods and
the lsntie of emergency currency. Thla
Interest promise to be sufficient to
secure some action by congress at the
coming session.. Congres bas been
particularly deliberate la dealing with
currency propositions and, In view" of
the character of many of the schemes
for asset-currency proposed In the last
half -dozen years, It la perhaps as well
that tho national legislators have
failed to reach an agreement. But It
appears that conditions are now shap
ing so as to make some action almost
imperative. '
Out of the mass of propositions
offered for improvement of the cur
rency system, promising a safeguard
against the recurrence of panic condi
tions, that proposed by Secretary Cor
telyou and Comptroller of the Cur
rency Ridgeley Is meeting with most
marked favor by financiers as being
the simplest remedy offered and one
that may be put into operation with
less red tape than-any other. This
proposition. In effect, Is to promote the
issue of additional bank currency by
permitting national banks to aubsti
tute other securities for the govern
ment bonds now lying in the treasury
as security" for government deposits,
providing the government bonds thus
released are used as the basis of new
bank note Issues. The present bank
note 'circulation has failed period
ically to serve the purpose of a genu
ine credit currency, adjustable to
money requirements, because it is
bound to a practically fixed volume of
i . ... .
juiemiueui creun in ma rorm Ol a
funded debt. The bond-secured cur
rency is unquestionably safe, but it
lacks the element of elasticity desired
in times of emergency.
' If other securities could be used
In securing government deposits con
ditioned on the use by the banks of
the government bonds thus released
for the issue of new bank notes, the
adoption of this plan, at present,
would enable the national banks to
issue something like $200,000,000 in
notes. The money stringency would
doubtless have been averted, at least
to a large degree, if provisions for in
jecting the element of elasticity-into
currency supply had been in force. This
plan would also test; with the secre
tary of the treasury the power to regu
late the supply of currency by calling
In deposits, thus forcing the redemp
tion of surplus bank note circulation
when conditions justified reduction.
Another proposition, particularly
urged by the New York Chamber "of
Commerce, by . George... E. . Roberts,
lately director of the mint, and by
other financial experts Is the estab
lishment of a central bank of Issue.
The stock in this bank would be held
partly by the government and partly
by the banks of the country; 'govern
ment representatives would be supreme
in its management; it would issue
currency, rediscount for other banks,
bold public money and act as . the
fiscal agent of the government in re
deeming its paper money and making
Its disbursements.
One or both of these plans will be
before congress this winter, with a
fair prospect of leading to some action
by congress that will furnish the re
lief desired and make impossible
another currency panic ' In times of
unexampled prosperity. -
THE WORLD'S BCTv TIER SHOP.
Although the United States is gen
erally considered a country of meat
eaters, the Department'of Agriculture,
In a recent report, has produced
statistic showing that our jer capita
consumption of meat has been steadily
diminishing for twenty-five years,
while- In most foreign nations con
sumption has been constantly Increas
ing. This data 1 used by the govern
ment authorities In emphasizing the
necessity of keeping up ourlefxport
trade. This trade In 1900.'am6unted
to one-eighth of our meat production.
The surplus meat produced In the
United States In that year was enough
to feed either the United Kingdom or
the German empire for half a year,
or both for three months. If such an
immense quantity of surplus meat food
were to be confined to this country by
the refusal of foreign countries to buy
It, the consequences would be finan
cially disastrous to the farmer, range
man and packer.
According to the bulletin, the value
of meat animal on the farm and
langea of the' United State on Jan
uary 1. 1907, was $2,152,000,000.
Add to this the value of the live stock
farms, the value of the packing plants,
with the machinery used In the pack
ing plants and on the farms and a
total of $10,62 5,000,000 is secured as
representing the capital directly af
fected by our meat Industry. Thls is
equal to five-Blxths of all the capital
invested in , manufacturing In the
United States in 1904 and almost
equal to the capitalization of the pet
earnings of all steam railroads in 1904.
As explanation of the Increase in
the price of meat la furnished by the
showing that the available per capita
supply of meat declined two-fifths be
tween 1840 and 1890 and the decline
from 1890 to 1900 was 35 per cent.
Ia the earn time, the exports of
American meat increased from 1,000,
OOOiOOO pound In 1885 to 2,047.000,
000 In the year ending with June 10,
190T. The value of the country's meat
exports have increased from $161,446,
164 la 1890, to $239,090,807 In 1907.
The per capita consumption of meat
In the United States baa decreased
about 80 per cent sine. 1840. - .It is
now placed at 185 pounds. The per
capita in Germany I 108 pounds, in
the United Kingdom, 121.3; in France,
79; In Australia. 263; in Italy, 46;
In Cuba, 124; In Belgium, 70; In
Sweden, 62. The decrease In the
United States is due in a great part to
the hljher prices and changes in the
dietary habits of the people. The more
extensive use of fruits and vegetables
bas modified the habits of many citi
zens. In the possession of meat ani
mals, the United States outranks all
other countries. It is estimated that
this country has 74,200.000 head of
cattle, 53,000,000 sheep and 66,600,'
000 swine, or nearly 35 per cent of
the world's supply. In addition to
being the granary of the world the
United States is also the world's
butcher shop.
VOTE FOR LOSfiOl WATlOK.
It is taken for granted that every
one in Omaha Is in favor of consolida
tion and that the only opposition to
merger is that worked up by the office
holders in South Omaha.
To carry according to the terms of
the consolidation law, the merger must
receive a majority of the votes cast on
the proposition in each city and it be
hooves voters in Omaha to record
themselves for consolidation the same
as voters in South Omaha.
The question of merger Is "Ques
tion," occupying the first space at the
top of the voting machine. This ques
tion should not be overlooked by any
one voting in either Omaha or South
Omaha.
Vote "YES" on "Question" and for
a Greater Omaha. ,
A W ORD lO RIPCBL1CAXS.
The campaign locally has developed
the fact that the democrats have no
hope or expectation of carrying their
ticket in Douglas county, a a whole,
but that they have been centering their
efforts on two or three candidates in
order to run them far enough ahead,
if possible, to win out over their re
publican competitors.
The democrats are insisting that
this is an "off" year, they are playing
the "nonpartlsanshlp" dodge, they are
trying to inflame personal and fac
tional jealousies among republicans
all because they know no democratic
candidate can carry Douglas county
except with republican votes.
The democrats have shrewdly chosen
to go after those offices which are
most Important In point of Influence
and patronage. . Having gotten a taste
of the loaves and fishes in the city hall,
they would like to extend their domin
ion into the court house In order to
accumulate the sinews of war for the
presidential campaign next year.
These facts are recited to remind
republicans of what ia at stake In this
election, which ia but a preliminary
skirmish to the big battle of 1908.
While the success or defeat of any one
candidate on the ticket may not appear
to be vital, the unnecessary loss of an
important office would turn over to the
political enemy a 'factor worth having
In the next fight and give the demo
crats not only that place, but all the
subordinate appointive positions as
well. On the other hand, a clean-cut
republican victory now would do much
toward lining up the republican forces
and correspondingly demoralizing the
forces of the democratic opposition.
Nebraska will, without doubt, be
fighting ground In the presidential
campaign and Douglas county repub
licans should get ready now to do their
full share In holding Nebraska in the
republican column.
. What an unwarranted assumption
Candidate Loomla has made to the- ef
fect that Elmer E. Thomas as a mem
ber of the populist state committee
should be fully apprised of all that Is
doing in the interest of the fusion cam
paign. Neither the populist state
committee nor the democratic state
committee has been on the political
map, all their powers and duties hav
ing been self-assumed by one Allen In
the dual capacity of chairman of the
democratic state committee and
brother-in-law of Colonel Bryan. So
far as the .two fusion state committees
are concerned in the campaign just
closing they might as well not be.
We congratulate our amiable demo
cratic contemporary on the skill it has
displayed in playing both ends to the
middle on the question of consoli
dating Omaha and South Omaha. We
congratulate also the Junior Yellow
on its complete fall-down at the crit
ical moment, showing its utter disloy
alty to the real Interests of a Greater
Omaha. .

There have been no bitter personal
attacks made against candidates on tbe

It is not because the local democratic

The Hon. Champ Clark of Pike county,
Missouri, pretends to exalt his horn and
that of his state because he has discov

novelty. Thousands of Missouri democrats,
especially In the Osarka, vowed In 1898 that
ber'e shear until the Peerless waa elected.
These devotees are not so faithful as they
look. Vanity has got the better of them.
They have given up all expectation of
Mr. Bryan's election and cultivate their
beards for themselves.
Good Reason for Thankfulness.
Philadelphia Record.
In serene disregard of the eruption In
Wall street the president sends out his
annual proclamation calling on the nation
to pause awhile November 18 to thank
God for past blessings and to pray for a
continuance of His merciful regard. The
trouble In Manhattan Is In large part due
to a breakage of the commandments In
that particular quarter. That there has
been no greater consequent shock to public
confidence in other parts of the United
States gives a new proof of the soundness
and solidity of general financial and Indus
trial conditions. There Is good reason for
thankfulness.
LEGITIMATE BANKIJTG.
Principles to Bo Observed to Prevent
Panics.
New York Outlook.
In our Judgment, banking panics cannot
be prevented unless the following principles
are observed:
First All business rests on credit that
Is, confidence In the common honesty of i
the average man.
Second. When .this confidence is de
stroyed, business I. arrested and financial
panics and failures Inevitably follow.
Third. Confidence Is not destroyed by
publlo exposure and condemnation of dis
honesty and breaches of trust, w by at
tempta to prevent or punish financial mal
practice through the law; it a destroyed by
the malpractice Itself.
Fourth. Banks of deposit are not
private concerns to be administered for
private profit; they are public service cor
poratlona, and their officers and directors
are trustees for the depositors.
Fifth. It Is natural. Just ,and whole
some that fthe public should lose Its con'
.v."" ' i" umiruai ny wunarawai
of deposits when bank officers fall to main-
tain th. highest .tandard. of tru.teTah?p I
In the use and mve.tment of deno.it.
Sixlh. By education, by publ'c sentiment 1
and by the Influence and .unnor .7 1 '
colleagues, th. bank director should be
mad. to feel that h. fills, not a private
office, but a position of public trust. Rigor-
ous enforcement of efficient law. should
compel those banker, who do not volun-
tarily observe this principle of trusteeship
to practice It or be punished for breach of
trust - i
The great body of American banker, are
men of the highest honor. They can be
trusted. They ought to be protected
against the misdeeds and dishonorable
standards of a few unscrupulous bankers ' tlon of the taxing body. For Instance, the
who regard a bank surplus as merely their British chancellor of th. exch.qu.er, con
own personal balance to he drawn upon at vlnced that vast sums escaped tha Income

over the state. Political lines are not

the effect will be no one can say. It may
result In a great many of the voters stay

his citizenship he should exercise his right
to vote. He should carefully weigh the
merits of the candidates and vote for
the one that represents his principles and
who will discharge their public duty In
the most acceptable manner. The people
do not need to be told how to vote, but

The uprising of the Ctes on the Cheyenne
river recalls the old days when there waa
much of that sort of thing In that part
of the country known as the frontier. The
location of the latest disturbance is prob
ubly In the neighborhood of the activity
along the Cheyenne river In November and
December of 1890, culminating In the fight
of Wounded Knee. The preliminary move
ments were in charge of Lieutenant Colonel
E. B. Sumner, who conducted a memorable
conference with Ulack Toot. The officers
engaged In tho attempt to taka the Indians

The War department has announced that
It will not consider any amendments or
changes In' the approved pay bill. It was
! stated that as far aa the War department
last year ana none will ne presented tins
year. The whole matter la now In tho
hands of Messrs. Capron and Dick, the
originators of the bill. The only thing the
War department fs now concerned with Is
the preparation of the Information called
for by the committees. The acting secre
tary of war and the acting chief of staff.
In commenting on the matter, said: "We
believe that the pay of officers of the
army should be readjusted, and that there
Is a general sentiment In the War depart
ment tn favor of It. In fact, we know of
no one who Is opposed to It. But to In
troduce this question In the Increase pay
bill Is a very different proposition. This
bill is not an army bill, but a joint bill
effecting other services Just as much aa It
does the army. It was positively agreed
by the conferees and approved by the presi
dent that each of the services affected
should leave Its Internal differences to be
adjusted within Itself at some futuns day.
-nd that the Increase of pay asked for
uM v. k. ., ..i.h. i. hm,.
omcer, who a stirring up thki trouble In
the service papers and elsewhere are- no
doubt animated by a sincere desire to
further the Interests of their own arm, but
Instead they are doing the entire service an
immense harm. If thev continue their al
tatlon thera Is rreat danger that the bill
will fall."
Where a soldier dies within the continental
limits of the United States the law provides
for the burial of the atdy and certain
other expenses, such as the cost of a
'casket, hire of a hearse, and other reason
able ajid necessary expenses. The burial
ia held at the nearest post or nat'onal ceme
tery, and the expenses of transportation are
likewise paid. When, however, the family
or relatives of the deceased request the
authorities to send the body to some other
place than the nearest military cemetery,
under the above condltiona, the government
Is not responsible for the expenses Incurred
other than the usual fixed charges, as the
gqvernment or Its agents no longer have
supervision of the disposition of the body,
and the expenses imust be borne by tbe
relatives.

Brooklyn Eagle: Thera . comfort fer
housekeepers who liave bests complaining
of the high price of meats. The Cudahy '
Packing company of Omaha announced the
other day that It ' will make a. rut of W
per cent In the price of all meata. The
cut goes Into effect today.
Philadelphia Press: The one point where
the mass of men will profit in-the strin
gency now passing will be In the falling
prices of commodities. Cudihjr'i H per
cent meat cut will be tho 'Orst of many
The Omaha meat packer hns born wise
In advance of his rivals 'and co-partners
In tiie Meat trust, as he has been before.
Wall Street Journal: Tho day of the
consumer appears to have come. For ten
years he has been paying a steadily rising
prlco for practically everything, with few -exceptions,
that has entered Into the Hat
of his needs. Now that prices are falling
he begins to realise how rnueh more a
dollar will buy than formerly. He Is In
clined to push his advantage because lie -recognises
that the weakness of the seller's
situation la much more pronounced than '
formerly. . For once, after a long while, the
consumer is king. '
Bt. Paul Dispatch: Tha hope of the
salaried man Is that the law of supply
and demand will begin to operate, as far
as the trusts will let it, and call halt to
advancing prices. Therfr Is such a thing
as charging more than the traffic will bear,
as the copper magnates have learned, to
their cost, and general commodity prices
ire not Immune, to such regulation. When
the effect of the Increase In the number of
wago earners have bas been taken advan
tage of to tha full, and prices reach such
a stage that Individuals must economize
by reducing the amount they buy. the ad
vance must stop. If trade combinations
persist In demanding more than ia thul
due, the .day of decline Is merely post
poned, and the ultimate extent of the fai:
is Increased. 1 .
