WHAT THE GLASS BILL PROVIDES. to A: The following explanation of the, Glass currency bill is from the pen of Congressman Buckley of Ohio: The Wilson-Glass bill will free the currency and credits of th country from the domination of any business group; place the reserves of our hanks where they will do the most good; prevent the piling up of the country hanks' resources in Wall street to support stock exchange operations; provide a safe and sound government currency adequate in volume to the country's business, and make it pos sible for the small business man to al taiu through competition such credit accommodation Us his business and character merit. 'The problem is not an easy one, and financial sharps have been puzzled for years to suggest the sort of re form that is needed in our banking and currency laws. The Aldrich monetary commission worked two years trying to solve the problem, and failed. Hut the present bill meets with favor and bids fair to be favorably reported from our committee after all details shall I have been thoroughly threshed over and passed within the next rew weeks. The Glass bill provides for elasticity of currency, mobilizing of reserves and government control of the nation's financial affairs. What will be its effect? Eirst, there will be fewer financial panics. No manipulation of the mon ey market to create artificial strin gency will be possible, because inter est rales, Volume of currency and ex tensions of credit will all be controll ed in the interest of the public by a government hoard. There will be no ground for the fear and distrust which .sonictitncs bring on panics, because everyone will know that enough cur rency and enough credit will always be available to meet all legitimate needs. The working man will always get his nay in government currency as good as gold and will not be asked U accept clearing house checks or credit substitute because employers will al ways be able to get the currency which 'their business justifies. The small business man will he able to borrow at a lower rate and to se cure, more adequate accommodations because the banks will feel more free to invest in the 'commercial paper of their local communities, knowing thev cm immediately realize on this paper ny rcUiscountuig whenever they need to do so. Scarcity of large masses of credit, rather than "dearth of cold, hard cash," is the cause of recent failure of large bond issues. Commenting on the statement of J. 1 Morgan Jr. that the call for money exceeds the supply. Mr. Muckley took issue with the financier. "Too much capital is now tied up in fixed investments," he said. "Eixcd capital is worse than capital in an un productive hold, rixcd investment issues lately have not been absorbed. and large issues of bonds are in the hands of underwriters, who have been unable to p.iss them along. This con dition obtains in Europe also probab ly even in greater fnrce than here. 'lt is due. 1 believe, especially r.urope, io me laef that great masses of capital were spent in the Balkan war an utterly unproductive field. It took years to overcome similar strin grncv following the pouring of mon ey into the Kusso-Japaucse war, I he present condition appears to me to be a lack of large mass credit, raider than a scarcity of cash. The actual circulation of currency in thi; country has decreased very little, flue tuatiug from time to time." RIGHT WAY TO KEEP PEACE. The exposition directors gave a ban uct to Auibas,tdor Mutler Monday niirht, as the San 1'iancisco Exam iner. It was ,t line ban net, as be came the hots guest of honor. and the distinguished Grape juice was un avoidably absent. But there were nlher thing-, ntuong them eloquence and poetry. The ambassador spoke feelingly and well. But no one cap tured the car with nun e folic it ions ij'nra-es than did Duley Field Malonc, . ird ;ii-"ti:t M-reiary of state. He i::.:;y oi t.ic nations will dissolve in gifyle thing wc call preence, and theif ivere all in evidence. So much by way of deserved en coiiium. And now for a friendly sWiii, .Mr. M alone, after reference to the" inision of Dr. M idler, said: Wc of the East may and do reali.c tllat the building of battkVuips the calling of peace conferences and the outcry of the nations wil ldissolve in one solution a world agreement of I peaceful trade relations. This is very fine .sentiment. One dihlikcs to break the wings of a but terfly so pretty. Hut Mr. Malonc's dream is not real. He is simply inter preting Mr. Ilryan, who was once a military man himself, but now sees visions of any number of dogs of war eating out of his hand. It is just in trade relations that the seeds of war lie snug, ready on the instant to bloom into red flower. It is because the great canal will mul tiply our trade relations with all the world that we must build battleships n:d stand on guard. The answer to amiable prophesies of imminent universal peace is the iki of cannon in the Balkan hills, the mustering of troops in the conti nental empires and kingdoms, the bloody revolution in Mexico, the for cible war preparations of Japan and he feverish unrest of the whole world. There is no universal peace and here will be no universal peace. Man is a fighting animal and grape-juice cannot change him. The republic will have peace with honor just so long as the American flag flies above enough ships of battle to protect that ovor from the peril of attack and the stain of defeat. COURT HOUSE NOTES.

Junction City With a philosophi cal turn of mind, the editor of the Junction City Times write.-:: A .Ou roc Jersey sow belonging to E. W. Thorn, of Riverview, gav-? birth to 13 pigs the other day. One of them died, however. It was just as well as plates were only laid for 12." Bone Is Badly Cracked. Scio The reporter for the Santiam News writes the rather more express ive than elegant style: "Mrs. Emma Small is not doing as well as was ex pected last week. She has a badly in jured back and coupling. The doctor cracked." Man Beats Railroad Squarely Woodburn A Woodburn man has found a way of getting the best of the so-called ever shrewd corporat ion. The regular fare to Portland is $1.10, bnt he reaches the Oregon me tropolis for 75 cents, and he rides on the "cushions" at that. This is the way he gives for turning the trick. Buy a ticket to Oregon City for 60 cents: get off at Oregon City, take an electric car; pay 10 cents fare to Oak Grove; then 5 cents to Portland and get a transfer to any part of the city. Those who have tried it say it works perfectly. The regular fare to Port land over either the Oregon Electric or the Southern Pacific is $1.10. This Is "Pog-on" Bad Luck Lebanon Roy Taylor, one of the men pufting down cement curbs and sidewalks, had $39 worth of bad qcjc Monday when he attempted to shew an inquisitive dog qff a soft piece pf cement work with a rock.

It cost $39 to have the window replaced. Lebanon Cri terion. Registration of Land Title. In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Linn County.
