The Asset Currency Scare.
Ft. W-orth Record.
At the San Antonid convention,
the proposition to condemn the
asset currency scheme created
quite a breeze, but finally it was
placed in the platform. Prior to
the convention former Gdvenor
Hogg pronounced some interrog-
atories which he invited Judge
Parker to answer, and ambng
them was one relating to assert
currency. The Houston plat-
form condemns assert currency.
It is related that Governor Hogg
inquired of Senator Culberson if
the latter had voted for the as-
sert currency bill. Apparently
there is some misunderstanding
about the question arid The Rec-
ord has been requested to state
the facts in the case.
No asset currency bill has been
before either branch of-congress
for discussion. Mr. Fowler* a Re-
publican member from New Jer-
sey, introduced such a bill and it
was referred without reading to
the committee on banking and
currency, and like hundreds of
bills relating to the currency, is
quietly asleep in the pigeonhole
of the committee doom. No Dem-
ocratic member of the house has
eyer ^.adyocated it and the .meas-
ure up to this time has failed to
elicit sufficient interest among
the Republicans to warrant the
committee in reporting it to ^he
house. It is just as dead a duck
as any of 10,000 bills that were
introduced during the last session
of congress to die of inanition.
Many people have confounded
the asset currency bill with the
Aldrich bill, which *as killed in
the senate. The Aldrich bill
sought merely to provide for the
deposit of the government funds
in national banks so that the
money might be in constant circu-
lation instead of being impounded
in the treasury. It • is already
the custom to deposit these funds
in the banks, such depositories
being required to deposit in the
treasury United States bonds as
^security for the deposits. Under
the terms of the Aldrich bill a
much larger amount could be
spared from the treasury. One
of the provisions of the bill was
that the banks should pay a
small interest on these deposits,
and another provision wa§ that
the banks might deposit as col-
lateral for such deposits securities
other than United States bonds,
or, in other words, just such se-
curities as banks receive for their
loans in the ordinary course of
business. For instance, it pro-
vided that in addition to United
States bonds the secretary of the
treasury might accept approved
state, municipal and county bonds
and the bill was amended so as
I to include railroad bonds and
many other fdrms of securities.
| It was the ^tension of the list of
depositable securities that made
the bill so objectionable that even
| the Republican senate could not
tolerate it. The bill did not pro-
; vide for the issuance of notes
1 based on such assets, but simply
provided for loaning the money
to the banks alot^the same lines
of the proposition which has oft-
j en been made in the. Texas legis-
i lature to deposit permanent funds
among national banks in this
state.
It may be that the Aldrich bill
will again come up, but it is
doubtful if it will, for when it
was before the senate it was quite
evident that the great majority
of the senate was opposed to it
as it came from the finance com-
mittee, and the more it was
amended the more objectionable
it became* As for the asset cur-
rend}T bill, there need be no fear
that it will ever pass the house,
and certainly there is not a Dem-
ocratic member wh# would ever
think of supporting it.
Therefore we suggest that
there is no occasion 4or alarm
about either of these bills in Tex-
as.' Of course we are opposed to
them, just as we; are opposed to
10,000 foolish bills which make
their appearance in every con-
gress, but which, as a matter of
fact, never have the remotest
prospect of passage.

A Hero.
Ft. Worth Record.
There is a deputy sheriff in
Harris county who is entitled to
one of the Carnegie hero medals,
because he .was man enough in
his official capacity to restrain
the hand which in the capacity
of a private citizen would have
struck down th,e slayer of his
brother. A few days ago Wil-
liam Hillendahl was shot by a
man named Lentz, at a country
store seven miles out from Hous-
ton. The news was sent to town,
and the response from the sher-
iff’s office was by Deputy Theo-
dore Hillendahl, one of the brav-
est and best boys who evej- wore
an officer’s badge. On the road
to the scene of the tragedy he
met the slayer of his brother.
Drawing his pistol he staVted for-
ward to revenge the killing, but
remembering his official fluty, re-
membering the position ,he occu-
pied, remembering that the -gun
he carried was given to him with a
commission {hat with it lfe would
enforce the law, he shoYefl it back
in the scabbard and turned the
slayer over to another officer un-
harmed and unhurt. There are
few men who would have done
this. He did it, and having act-
ed as a good peace officer should,
he went to the bedside of his dy-
ing brother and .watched until
the last breath passed the lips.

GREAT SALT LAKE.
East Texas is not in it with Ra- No Living Thing
i it and No
Danger of Being Drowned.
The water of the Great Salt
Lake, Utah, is clear and trans-
parent, with a bottom of fine
white sand and a margin of jn-
crusted salt. It is one of the
purest and concentrated brines in
the world. Its waters give sus-
tenance tc no living thing; there
is not the smallest insect or worm
about it. Investigation proved to frighten the most timid bath-
that it had been cut off and was er, and the bathing is the most
left between the house and yard j perfect sea bathing in the whole
gate haggled to pieces. The act, of North America or in Europe,
seems to have been one of malice. No human body can sink in it.
This )^ar promises to be one of j Your body will persistently rise
venna, when it comes to shipping
lumber. The output of six mills
is now being shipped from here.
This place is a sea of stacks of
lumber and alive with wagons
and teams.
Last night about 9 o'clock Mrs.
Alex Clarad}' was awakened by
some one, as she thought, pulling
her hair, and told her mother
the best years for Ravenna that
has ever come to her. Every team
and man in the country can get
work hauling lumber for cash,
too—whenever they have time
out of the crops. Lots of them
are taking advantage of this and
they have cash in their pockets
all the time. The pat and wheat
crops have been good; but the
berry business seems to be a little
overdone for the local demand,
and yet our farmers seem to be
backward about organizing to
ship to foreign markets. The
corn is just simply enormous and
promises to burst and run over
many a crib. The cotton is more
promising than it has been for
years. So with all around bumper
crops and the lumber hauling
business calling for teams and
men every day and never getting
enough—all of this added to the
fact the people were scared-last
year and saved every particle of
feed stuff they could and do not
now owe for it—it does seem to
us that the people can keep wear-
ing smiles.
. Boy Stabbed.
Trenton News.
In a difficulty last Wednesday
between Henry Walters and Den-
ver Patton, two boys. aged about
14 years, Patton was cut across
the thigh with a pocket kriife, in-
flicting a wound about seven
inches long. The trouble arose
over some matters at a molasses
mill on the farm of Y. B. Reed.
An eye witness states that the
Walters boy acted in self defense.
The Patton boy is getting along
nicely and will be up in a few
days.

up, the shoulders above the sur-
face, or you may even sit down
in it. Its wonderful buoy^hey
must .be experienced to be real-
ized. No knowledge of swim-
ming is necessary; one may enter
the lake without the slightest
fear; all you have to do is lie
down and float. But to swim in
it, that is another thing. When
your hands are put underthe water
to take a stroke, your feet, like
Banquo’s ghost, will not go down.
It is impossible to keep more
than one end'of your body under
water at one time. Nearly half
a million people bathe in / the
Great Salt Lake in a year; they
come from all over the world, and
tourists are beginning to realize
that Salt Lake City with its
magnificent surroundings pre-
sents the greatest scope of novel-
ty, and is destined to be a lead-
ing watering p^ace.
Salt Lake City and Great Salt
Lake are best reached via the
Denver & Rio Grande and the
Rio Grande Western. Via this-
route the traveler has a choice of
two lines through the Rocky
•mountains—via Royal Gorger
Leadville, Canon of the Grand-
River and Glenwood Springs, or
via Marshall Pass and the Black
Canon of the Gunnison; and if a
roijnd trip ticket is secured read-
ing both ways via “The Scenic
Line of the World” and “The
Great Salt Lake Route,” one line
may be used going and the other
returning. Through sleeping
and dining cars from Chicago
and St. Louis to San Fransisco
and Portland are run daily via .
this route. Tourist rates now in
effect. Write S. K. Hooper, G.
