' 'Waterloo, Iowa, Oct . 18. Vigorous 1 defense of the pending -currency bill. the iipw tariff law and the income ta M ; I Ilk by Secretary of State Bryan , , laJ.M at the - state dairy show. ,. Speaking of the 'currency Totll, after de- ' clarinar tlat the national banks for gen T: eratlon U .held government money in i return, rojf.&ntrtbutions to the Repub- ? llcan party, continued: tHr.nCii-J :; t i "The currency j bill i U the mot- re , i markable ; currency-. measure we , ever . have had. It gives i. , 'th-bankers enough to make them Jiappy and doesn't enable them to -make enough, to make the people miserable.'. There is one fea ture about ' this bin that should enlist ' the support of every banker doing a legitimate business, Heretofore it has been necessary to put tip bonds to se cure government money, but by the pro visions of the new bill the government lends money without requiring bonds, "it lets the regional bank take col lateral from the banks within the tone and the one banks put their guarantee on the collateral. This enables the gov . " ernment to pot Into a community more money than it takes out , i.. . . - . ' Government to Issue' Honsy. "' "The government asks In return some thing every banker should be willing to concede;' namely, that the government should Issue the money Itself. Why let the banks Issue the money in times of , peace when the government must Issue It In time of trouble? - I believe the , -v banks ean well concede thta point. They . -will have to concede It whether they want to or not. . ' ."The bankers bad a meeting In Boston ' the other day and the papers said that y when the question arose as to whether v . the ..banks , should be controlled by a board of bankers, they all shouted: 'We think the banks ought to be controlled by bankers.' ..;"'... "Do you know of any other class of . society K thatwtnts to control itself? .' & v: what would you think t of a railroad fjj that said, We roust control the Inter- y, stats Commerce commission that con ". . trola us in the railroad business'? Did you ever bear of railroad men claiming .v. that they should -control one-half of . j the commerce commission or. one mem ''-V, per of the board? -you never heard It -,: Whose Money Ha vo Banks t, .,;' ; . "What do you regulate the banks for? , ' Tor the' benefit of the people who do v business . "with them, v Whose money lV.;have the banks? l Why. the people's money.' Whose money do they get from "v j, the government? The people's. s,f;-fJ-;.' '"'"It Is presumptuous, Impertinent, au---j. daclous, and the- bankers themselves ought to be ashamed Of It. ' The : way some bankers talk you '- . would Imagine that business com muni ,"' ties exist for the benefit of the banks. V : : It will be Just about as absurd to say ; ;that people eat In order to furnish a - , demand for farm products. This bill !:;t, means that the banks are to fulfill the principles of their existence and are v. ; to live for the accommodation of busi U' ness and sot for Its control, i v-'- : "We are to have la or more regional , 'it:'" ana no central bank. ; Mr. .

B fore the evening had ended, a total of ri . $40 to the fund had been donated and i i C. a Jackson, one of the speakers, had promised to donate $200. In this- con f ; necUon Mr. Jackson suggested that a :,'.; good plaa to raise the fund would be , tot each editor of the state to pay an si assessment of 25 cents a month, on each ...-! one thousand of circulation of his news. ,-paper, and" keep it up for one year.

ROMAN MEAt BREAD The ancient Roman soldiers, who ate no meat but who subsisted upon black bread, developed a strength of physique and a hardihood of nature which enabled them to exact tribute from every known nation, and to conquer the world. A modern cereal food, over-refined, catering to -the daintiness of appetite and weakenlngdigestlve powers, devel ops no such traits as were found In the Romans of old. '' A physician : has now given to the world something new in Roman' Meal, which is a scientifically balanced food composed of wheat,, rye and flax. " The flax, after being deodorised by a secret process, is caued fiaxose. Tne coaaDina- tlon of these cereals, which is coarsely ground for a purpose, is called Roman Meal, and the Log Cabin Baking Co. is now baking Bread from this Meal. Roman Meal Bread Is to be had at all grocers and delicatessen stores In Port land and vicinity, at Eo a loaf. If you cannot find It at your grocer's, ask -him for a S-lb. package of-Roman Meal, which he wll sell you for: 15c and bake the Bread yourself. It is worth while - Roman Meal may also be used for making gems, muffins, fruit, rocks, cookies, Boston brown bread, eta It con tains ell the protelds and carbohydrates and is the last word in modern "back to nature" foods.
