The first speaker wns u. J. MoManus.
former county superintendent of schools,
nd at present a candidate for the repub
lican nomination for state auperintendent
of public works. After defining socialism
n the sense used by Intelligent persona Mr,
McManu said every man was to some ex
tent . xlalil aiwi he was one. himself,
although.. a republican by politics. He
thought there was a better day dawning
' for municipal government and that In a
few.yeara political party lines would be
eliminated In municipal elections. He be
llevad the commission form of government
would prove an Improvement on the pres
ent form, which wss about aa bad aa it
could be. he declared. Experience had
shown, he said, thst a higher degree of
intelligence, honesty and efficiency had al
waya been secured through the appointive
than through the elective power. He be
lieved, however, that in a city the size
of Council Bluffs there ahould be but
three commissioners in place of five, and
said he believed It likely that the law
would be so amended.
Dr. Foston, in a short address, declared
emphatically that every candidate uefore
being Indorsed ahould be municipal own
ership men from the word ko and should
be so pledged thst they later could not
go back on their pledges
He suggest-"! i
that each party place a councilmanic
candidate in each ward in the field who
was pledged to municipal ovn?rsliip,
first, last and ever.

I regular evening services and afford their
congregations an opportunity to sttend this
mass meeting.
It hod been the desire of the Ministerial
association to have had Mr. Byers speak at
mass meetings both In the afternoon and

this plan on account of the Inability of
the attorney general to reach Council
Bluffs "oeforc 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Since the campaign for law enforcement
was Inaugurated by Attorney General
Byers he has delivered addresses on this
subject in Pes Moines. Davenport and

(From a Staff Correspondent.!
DES MOINES. Jan. 19.-iSpKial ) The
conference or Episcopalians of the Slxih
missionary district of the I'nlted States
came to a conclusion" Saturday. Many of
the piomincnt men of the dc nomination
will remain over Sunday and occupy put- I j0
pits of the city. Bishop Mann will occupy
the pulpit of Ft. Paul's church tomorrow
morning and Bishop Johnson the pulpit of
St. Mark's chunh. j
Dean Beecher of Omaha was one of the
leading speakers at the conterence today
at St. Paul's church. This sfternoon the
conference considered the relation of ths
church to its educational institutions and
the Snnday school work.
One of the princlpsl addresses of the con
fetence wss by Bishop Chsrles H. Brent
of the Philippines. He declared that the
I'nlted States was traveling too fast with
the Flliplnoa in polltlce In giving them the
ballot. He was emphatically against sell
ing the Islands and claimed that such a
course would be selling the manhood of
the ration, because the governing of the
Islands Is a responsibility the nation must
discharge. He declsred that the daywlll
come when the natives will csll the people
of the United States blessed because of
th- wnik thst has been done In the islands.
Much of his address was relating to the
work of the church in missionary work In
the 'Island.
Commission Adjoarns to Seventeenth.
JtidKe Charles H. Prouty of the Inter
state Commerce commiaslon adjourned till
February 17 the hearing on the fceding-in-translt
rate on live stock from western
states. At the hearing the railroads did
not offer any witnesses. They cross-questioned
the witnesses for the Corn Belt
Meat Producera' association. The only de
fense of the railroads thus far Is that If
the railroads do not get the rates that they
do the packing housea will pay less for the
beef, and thus If the rr.tes are lowered It
will be for the benefit of the packing
houses and will not be of any benefit to
the cattlemen. The continuing of the case
will be In Chicago. February 17.

Almost every soul in the United States has asked at
some time: "Is Lawson sincere?" "Is he a trickster?"
"Is he fooling?" " What did he hope to gain by it ? "
' ' Has he made money out of the credulous ? " "Has the
System broke him or bought him ? " lie answers you.
He tells why he wrote his story ; what he hoped to
gain ; how and why he lost ; how his arm was held
from what he thought the knockout blow; and why, for
two years, none of his predictions has come true. You

Committee.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19. The currency com
mittee of the American Bankers' aasocla
tlon met here today and drafted an asset
currency measure which is to be submitted
to congress soon. The bill Is of the same
general character as the first bill Intro
duced by Congressman Fowler, and is to
be presented to the nation's law makers
with the formal approval of the associa
tion back of It.
The currency commission consists of fif
teen members. Of these nine were present
todsy as follows:
James B. Forgsn. Chicago: Charles H.
Huttig. St. iouis; Myron T. Merrick. Clevei
land: Robert Wardrop, Pittsburg: John I,.

nolds, Des Moines.
Fred E. Fsrnsworth. New York, secre
tary of the sssoclatlon, also attended the
meeting, although he Is not a voting mem
ber of the commission.
The commission has practically the same
merrtberahfp as thar- wilch recommended
the first Fowler bill to congress within
a year.
The commission Issued a formal state
ment tonight endorsing the following fea
tures of the original Fowler bill:
Any national bank In business for a
year or more may take out for lasues
and circulation "national bank guaran
teed credit notes," provided the institu
tion's fund equals 25 per cent of its cap
ital. The amount of these credit note may
be equal to 4 0 per cent of the national
bank notes which the bank may have
outstanding, but not more than -'j per
cent of its capital.
The treasurer of the United States
would receive In January and July of
each year a tax of 1 S per cent upon the
average amount of such credit cotes In
circulation.
Besides the foregoing amount of spe
cial credit notes, subject to a lax of 3 ,
per cent annually, a national bank nriy
also take for circulation additionsl credit
notes equal to 12 per cent of its capi
tal, but it shall pay on such extra Issue
a special tax of b per cent, payable in
two Installments of m per cent each

fore the bankers. Prof. J. Laur.-nie
Laughlin, head professor of political
economy at the University of Chicago,
gave the most extended exposition of
banking theories and also took part In
the general discussion.
After luncheon the work of sketching
out the measure which is to be propoi' d
to congress was taken up. It early he
came apparent that the members would
stand by the report formulated In D
cemher. 190. which was made the basis
of the first Fowler bill. Tiie commis
sion voted later to repeat Its recom
mendations of 1905, which recommenda
tiona had the backing of the association
