After making many felicitous remarks on the pleasure of being present, express- ing gratitude at seeing so many la- dies present, Mr. Jones spoke of the God-given talents and how we should use them, quoting frequently from a number of the standard authors in answer to the question, “What is my talent?” But to make most of our life t is necessary to study our weak- nesses anvl in answer to this he again qucted from Napoleon, Arnold, Burr, and others, giving the factors which contributed to their failure.

The currency problem, next to be considered by Congress after the tar- iff bill is out of the way, already is ¢ausing the Democrats considerable worry ahd atwly. The task of revising the banking and currency laws promisés to prove sveti. more difficult for the Demo- crats than the revision of the tariff. Strong opposition to undertaking at this time a revision of the bank- ing and currency laws exists among House Democrats, as well as Demo- cratic senators. However, President Wilson is insisting that banking and currency ligeslation be taken up by the House at this session. He has called in Leader Underwood and, de- spite the fact Mr. Underwood ‘s averse to comsidering banking and currency legislation now, he has con- scnted to go ahead with it. The president, however, has by no means the unanimous support of the House Democrats in trying to force consideration of this legislation. In fact he has so much opposition that it is not at all certain he can force @ bill through the House in the pres- ent session. It is considered almost out of the question to get a bill through the Senate before the next regular session. Numerous House Democrats are threatening to revolt against any plan to force them to take up cur- rency legislation in the special ses- sion. For this attitude, different causes are assigned. One reason is that opinions are unformed and many are fearful the proposed legislation will be half baked. Some of the Democrats think that inasmuch as the tariff is about to be revised, it would be unwise to put through at the same time too much big legislation of a kind effecting large changes in the affairs of the worll of business. Others in the | | House say it would draw attention Princess Augusta Victoria is to man ry ex-King Manuel o I'ortugal. She is twenty-three years .!d and the el est child and only da: shter of Prince Willlam Hohhenzoller:, head of the branch of the family. away rrom the tariff, and that while the House is debating currency re- form, the Senate may run away with the Underwood bill, kidnap it bodily and misuse it grossly. Furthermore a lot of radical Dem- ocrats in the House are sceptical about the plan of banking legislation which is proposed and which is un- der discussion among Congressman Glass, the president, Senator Owen, and some other leaders. This plan is being attacked as akin to the Aldriez plan and a bankers’ plan. Criticism 18 even heard to the ef- (Continued on Page 5)
