CURRENCYREFORM
PLAN SUBMITTED
PROPOSITION OUTLINED BY FOR
MER U. S. SENATOR ALDRICH,
HEAD OF COMMISSION.
PROVIDES FOR PURLIC DEBT
Changes Are Made to Meet Criticisms
Provoked by Senator Aldrich's
Scheme.
Washington.—Former Senator Nel
son W. Aldrich of Rhode Island sub
mitted to the national monetary com
mission, of which he is chairman, a
revision of his plan for monetary leg
islation. The commission may use
it as the basis of its recommendations
to congress. • ,
The basic principles of the revised
plan are substantially the same as
those embodied in Mr. Aldrich’s first
proposal sent to the commission last
January, which he said he expected
would serve as a basis for national
discussion.
Briefly the plan still provides for
the organization of the National Re
serve association with capital of ap-

proximately $300,000,000, in which the
United States government and the
banks owning shares in the associa
tion shall be the only depositors. The
plan of dividing the United States
at first into fifteen financial districts
remained unchanged.
In each district the banks shall
form local associations of their own,
which in turn will be represented in
the branches and finally in the cen
tral organization through a system
of election of directors, which, it is
said, will make it, impossible for any
section or set of bankers to control
the whole.
To provide for the $730,000,000 of
2 per cent, government bonds now
owned by the national banks and
used as the basis of note circulation,
which are to bo absorbed by the re
serve association, the following plan
is proposed:
Upon the application of the reserve
association the secretary of the treas
ury shall exchange the 2 per cent,
bonds which the association will buy
from banks at par and accrued in
terest, for anew issue of 3 per cent,
securities, payable fifty years after
the date of issue.
The reserve association will pay to
the government a special franchise
tax of 1 1-2 per cent, a year on the
amount of such bonds. The govern
ment’s actual interest charge on the
2 per cents is not actually 1 1-2 per
cent., since the banks pay back a
half of 1- per cent, as a tax when
the bonds are used as the basis of
note circulation. This will imburse
the government for the extra interest
it will be called upon to pay as a re
sult of exchanging the 2s for 3c.
Record Sale of Rice.
New Orleans. —What is believed to
be the largest sale of rough rice was
consummated here when the South
ern Rice Growers’ association sold
100,000 bags of the staple to the Lou

an estimated price of $3.25 per bag
graded as No. 1 Honduras. This rice
will be distributed among the twenty
six mills of the milling company.

A Psalm of
Deliverance
SaaJsy Sdtoei Lsuon far OcL 29, 1911
Specially Arranged tor This Paper
LESSON TEXT—Psalm 88.
MEMORY VERSES—IO-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—"The Lord hath done
great things for us; whereof we are glad.”
—Psa. 126:3.
PLACE IN HISTORY-Just when this
Psalm was written is unknown, but In Its
spirit it belongs to the return from the
exile, the times of our last two lessons.
Psalms 121, 122, 126, 130 are among th#
Pilgrim Psalms.
"Psalms of Deliverance” came as ft
vivifying power into the hearts of the
returned exiles, who in the midst or
their joy were overwhelmed with diffi
culties, and hardships and discourage
ments. The reality was far differ
ent from the ideal pictures in their
minds. They had seen Victory glori
ous in the distance, but were not
plunged into the turmoil and smoke
of battle. They were tempted to say
to the prophets that Pliable In the
Slough of Despond, angrily said to
Christian who had urged him to go
on the pilgrimage to the Celestial
City: "Is this the happiness you have
told me all this while of?” But songs
of deliverance keep the celestial hope
ever in view. They point out the
way to the things hoped for, and show
“the evidence of things not seen.”
"Thou has been favorable unto thy
land,” shown by bringing back the
captivity of Jacob. This was a most
marvelous event and not even to be
hoped for in the natural course of
things.
“When the Lord turned again the
captivity of Zion,” caused the stream
of captives that flowed to Babylon to
turn back and flow to Zion; "like the
streams In the south,” in suddenness
and overflowing fullness.
The loving kindness of God proves
that he has forgiven their past trans
gressions. "Thou hast forgiven the
Iniquity of thy people.” Canceled It,
as an account of debt Is canceled,
or taken away as a heavy, crushing
burden. Covered all their sin. Blot
ted out of sight, covered It with a
mantle, so that they were In God’s
sight as those who had never sinned.
We need forgiveness as wide as the
sin. And we find In the Bible as many
terms expressing forgiveness as we
found for expresing sin, —Forgive, Re
mit, Send away, Cover up, Blot out;
Destroy, Wash away, Cleanse.
The returned exiles gained anew
knowledge of God’s Word, anew
world experience, they lost the inde
pendent nation, but gained the inde
pendent church, from which blossom
ed the Messiah, the Saviour of the
world. The old, eternal law of sin
and death was Irrevocable, never
ceased; but the changed character
permits anew law to override the
consequences. In the words of Dr.
John Thomas of Liverpool: “Every
man who knows anything knows that
one law can be neutralized by anoth
er. There is a law of gravitation
which keeps this Bible here upon the
desk. That law cannot be altered, it
cannot be stopped; it will draw, and
draw, and draw, whatever you may
say or do, but it can be neutralized
by the law of my will. I can lift the
book and make the law of gravitation
to appear as though it were not. That
is exactly what we say about the par
don of sin and the arrest of its conse
quences.”
God has done much for them, but
they longed for more. So many evils
remained, the nation was yet so im
perfect, so far from what it might be.
Illustration from Dr. Chapman’s ad
dress to the Harvard students. “Re
member, friends, that it is God’s
standard your life and mine must
come up against. A friend of mine
went to see an old washerwoman, and
as he entered the house the sheets
hanging on the line in front of the
house impressed him as especially
white, spotlessly white. He went into
the house, and was there for some
time. It had commenced to snow in
the meantime. When he came out,
he noticed that the snowflakes had
been falling on the clothes, and that
the sheets did not seem white at all,
but yellow rather. He spoke to the
old washerwoman. ‘Why, what’s the
matter? They looked so very white
when I came in, and now they don’t
look white at all.’ The old woman
said: ‘What can stand against God
Almighty’s white.’
There is a charming little booklet
called “Expectation Corner,” an alle
gory on prayer almost as good as "Pil
grim’s Progress.” A poor man in
Redeemed Land mourned over his pov
erty, and was taken at last to see
the Lord’s treasure houses. There he
found a room called the Missed Bless
ings Office, full of blessings marked
for him which his weak faith would
not expedt, so that his door was
closed when they were brought. He
saw another storehouse, called the De
layed Blessings Office, full of good
things for which the receivers were
not prepared, or which were not fully
ripened for their best use. They were
growing and would be sent in fullness
of time.

When Friendship Counts.
The doors of the deformed man are
always locked, and the key Is on the
outside. He may have treasures of
charm inside, but they will never be
revealed unless the person outside co
operates with him in unlocking the
door. A friend becomes, to a much
greater degree than with the ordinary
man, the indispensable means of dis
covering one’s own personality. One
only exists, so to speak, with friends.
It Is easy to see how hopelessly such
a sensitiveness incapacitates a man
for business, professional or social
life, where the hasty and superficial
Impression Is everything, and disas
ter is the fate of the man who has
not all the treasures of his personal
ity in the front window where they
can be readily inspected and ap
praised.—From the September At
lantic.
A Broken Bone.
Your first duty, after notifying a sur
geon, is to provide support for the in
jured member in the form of an im
provised splint. Flat pieces of board,
as broad, if possible, as the limb and
slightly longer than the broken bone,
canes, umbrellas, in fact anything that
will accomplish your end may be used.
In adjusting these, pad with any Bolt
material that Is at hand; straw, leaves
or cushions made of grass may be
used. Avoid any pressure on the in
jured part, cover It with a cloth, and
keep wet with clean, cold water. —Wo-
man’s Home Companion.
Salve to Conscience.
It was at a concert, where the re
moval of hats was not obligatory, still
the woman with a conscience wished
to be accommodating. She turned to
the woman sitting beside her and
said:
“Does my hat bother you?”
“Not in the least,” said the other
woman sweetly, so the woman with a
conscience settled complacently back
to listen to the music while persons
on the back seats twisted their necks
out of joint trying to see around her
hat.

HE GETS AWAY WITH IT
Variety Actor Tackles Second Grave
digger In Hamlet and Steals All
the Laughs.
A company playing “Hamlet" was
forced to find an actor to play the
Second Gravedigger on account of the
illness of the second comedian of the
company. The only actor available
was a variety performer, who had no
reverence for Shakespeare and no re
spect for the traditions of the classic
drama. The Second Gravedigger was
a comedy part, and he knew that he
could “get away with It.”
When the First Gravedigger threw
off the first waistcoat, revealing an
other underneath, the audience tit
tered. The removal of the second
waistcoat brought a loud laugh, and
ths third produced a roar. The First
Gravedigger was delighted. He had
never played to such an appreciative
audience, and visions of good notices
in the papers and a possible Increase
in salary began to loom up before his
eyes. As he threw off the fourth
waistcoat he turned partly around,
and the cause of the unusual hit was
disclosed to him.
The Second Gravedigger, being ac
customed to build laughs on lines and
business of other actors, saw his op
portunity and seized It. As fast as
the First Gravedigger would throw
the waistcoats on the ground, the
variety comedian would pick them up
and put them on. The .new business
was much funnier to the audience
than the old, with which It was thor
oughly familiar.
Not content with having stolen the
laughs from the regular comedian In
this scene, the new man went fur
ther. When the ■ First Gravedigger
said to him, “Go, get thee to Yaugh
an; fetch me a stoup of liquor” (to
which there is no reply in the text),
the assistant sexton replied:
“Yaughaii told me to tell you that
you couldn’t have any more liquor
from him till you paid for the last you
got.”—The Bookman.
• Thi* Time for a Friend.
“’Tis a wise man,” said Robert Ede
son, “who knows when to ask ques
tions. The other night 1 was standing
Inside the railroad station when an
Irish cab driver came up to me and
asked me how soon the next train
came in. I told him and he said thank
you and went away. In about fiv
minutes he came back with the same
question. ‘I told you not more
five minutes ago,’ I said. ‘I know it,
he answered cheerfully, ‘but it’s not
a friend of mine outside th’t has t
me th’t wants to know this time. It’s
watch his horses and can’t come in
an’ ask yez himself!’” Young’s.
