“ should rest upon the majority
party,” inasmuch as that party had
denied all amendments that might
perfect its measure, Representative
French of Idaho, stated that his
personal admiration for President
Wilson made him “ content” to
clothe him with the responsibility
ot naming the federal reserve board.
Mr French, who is a Republican,
said that while he did not agree
with many of the political convic
tions ot the President, yet he had
full confidence “ in his high sense
of public duty and patriotism

In the course of his speech ‘con
cerning the currency measure Rep
resentative Kahn of California ex
pressed the belief that the Glass-
Oweu measure would cause many
of the national banks to surrender
their charters to the federal govern
ment, and return to the state bank
system
He declared the present
national banking system was one of
stability, and said he believed that
the pending measure would drag
down the existing system without
providing an adequate substitute.
Mr, Kahn as usual made and effec
tive speech, remarking incidentally:
“ Every man who has a theory on
the subject believes that his theory
isju sta w e e bit better than the
theory of the man with whom he is
arguing the question ”

(From Coos
In discussing some early-day hap
penings the other day with A. G.
Aiken, one of the oldest of the pio
neers, he said there was a piece of
early history connected with the
shipping of the machinery for the
North Bend mill and the wreck of
the vessel near Charleston, with the
loss of three lives, that had never
been published, St) far as he knew
of. We asked him for the story and
he kindly furnished the allowing

“ About the close of the Indian
war in 1856, in May or June, Alf.
Pennell, a ship carpenter, who was
a cousin of A. M. Simpson, came to

According to Seuator Jones of
Washington, politi-s will elevate

“ For women to study the

the Washington Senator, who tur-

Referring to the manner in which
some of the railroads have buncoed
