Natioual bauks must make

currency. The hoarding of
money will not be countenanced
by the government. If the
Emergency currency is issued
it wjll be for the express pur-
pose^ of aiding the farmers in
the cotton states.
How much longer will it be
needful for the terrible carnage
to go iu Europe! That is what
the millions of earth are ask-
ing today. We thought we
were highly civilized, but it
looks like the world, or a great
part of it, is retrograding with
a rush. The day seems farther
away than ever when the
swords will be beut into plow-
shares. _
Dallas has a war ou idle
negroes aud vagrants of all
colors. A good move. While
the majority of small towns do
not have any trouble like this,
still if at any time there is a
tendency for enough loafers to
accumulate for the organizing
of an “anti-work’’ league,
steps should at once be taken
to ‘‘persuade” the aspirants
for such membership to hunt a
new location.
WHATLEY
There was some fear that the
European war might cause' a
postponement of the Frisco
Fair, but according to au offi-
cial statemeut giveu out by
Secretary Bryan no change in
the program is anticipated.
fence privilege is repeatedly
extended to bardeued criminals
it looks as though the thing
was just a hit overdone. All
men, at some time in life», ate
likely to make a seriots mis-
take. and commit a • crime
which society coudemns, aud
for which they are truly re-
peat ant. and such characters
should enjoy the privilege of
the suspended -euteucc. but
when it comes to being so easy
with vetoans in the world of
crime—well, it !uuks as though
their cases ought to be consid-
ered iu a different light.
There is’ no doubt but what
our immigration laws are too
lax. . The freedom aud privi-
leges of our great country are
extended, open-handed, to all
the world, and we admit within
our borders thousands of men
who are not desirable citizens.
As a rule they are the off-scour-
mg of Europe, caring nothing
for homebuilding, ptogressive-
uess or decency, coming here
because they are hunted, law-
less characters at home. Amer-
ica needs thousands of people
to come and fill out idle acres,
but it looks as though the prac-
tical thing to do would be to
place certain restrictions upon
those who wish to come aud
live with us. Then we woqld
get a more intelligent, thrifty
set, and they as well as we
would be benefited by their be-
ing here. _
The Eastern railroads have
asked for an increase in the
freight rates iu order to help
them tide over the present
stringency, and to meet iu
part, at least, the securities held
against them by European cap-
italists. The Interstate Com-
merce Commission has a-fused
to hear the claims ot the -aid
railroads until sometime in
October. Thev do not appear
to realize how near out supply
of gold is to depletion if the
solvency of the railroads be-
comes doubtful. 1‘^rope needs
gold, aud needs it badly. Upon
the slightest pretext they will
foreclose upou any and aii se-
curities which enable them Xoj
obtain it. Europe hoifL ruble

how.
The sending of millions
across the ocean to alleviate
the heathen who is groping in
darkuess is all right, and we
would not question it for a
moment, but does it look right,
just or humane, for hundreds
of innocent, though unfortu-
nate insane, to have to languish
in jails, with poor accomoda-
tions, if any, for comfort, and
no chance for mental or phisi-
cal treatment, because our asy-
lums are not large enough to
hold those who should be there-
in! If a member of a family
needs succor would it appear
the proper thing to do to fail
to give the needed relief, but
to take the same money and
help a stranger across the way!
Divine as well as human law
has at all times made it an ob-
ligation for a man to care for
his own family, after which
