R. ROSS DONNELLY, 4 "4 , WASHINGTON LETTER.' From Our Regalai Correspondent. The Democratic members of the House committee on bank ing and currency have agieed to support no financial bill except that offered by Representative John Sharp Williams the Demo cratic leader in the House. This will serve to complicate styll fur ther the financial situation in the House, all hough the Republican leaders 'still profess their ability to crowd through the Aldrich bill when it comes over from the Senate. There are some indica tions, however, that the Aldrich btlj will be a much better meas ure when it comes from the Sen ate than it was when it come from Mr.. Atdrich's committee. Senator Johnson, of Alabama, made a speech this week in w hich he advocated the adoption of on amendment requiring the coun try batik to keep two thirds of their legal reserves in their own vaults, one half in gold or legal money, the.other half to be the same, or, else in the securities stipulated in section 2 of the Al drich bill as the basis of emergen cy curr-ncy. Mr. Aldrich, who is anxious to secure all the Demo cratic support possible for his Inn, haw signified his willingness to accept Senator Johnson's a mendinent and thus a new Sena ator seems likely to break all pre vions records by getting an a- mend meat he offers to an impor tant legislative measure adopted during his first year in the Sen ate . : Another amendment to the Al drich bill will receive the support of numerous. Democratic Sena tors who are as favorable 'to it as some of the Republicans are opposed. It will provide that on ly the bonds of such railroads as have had their physical value ascertained and certified by lis!) Interstate Commerce Commis sion shall be accepted by the Sec retary of the Treasxry as the ba sis for emergency currency.' This is a good business proposition, for if the Treasury Deparnient is to accept first mortgage bonds as security for national bank cir culation, it ought certainly first to ascertain the value of he prop erty on which the mortgages are based. Altogether, the -.Aldrich bill may not be such a bad meas ure after all, after- the .Senate and House have both gotten through with it, although it is equally possible that its outhor will then have difficulty in recog nizing it. Rep. Lilley. ol Connecticut, has preferred charges in the House a gainst the Naval Affairs eommit tee, and has introduced a resolu tion providing that a committee be appointed to investigate the influence bronght 0 bear on this committee in favor of submarine boats. : When the committee re ported its bill to the House this week it provided for the building of eight submarines and two bat tleships. The President and Sec retary of the ;Navy had urged that provisions be made for four battleships and fouraubmarines. Moreover, the committee so wor ded the provision that only one company could compete -for the contracts. The only proper way to provide for such vessels is to leave sufficient discretion to the Secretary of the Nnvy.eo that he can expend the money for the best 'boats "Offered in an open competition. Mr. Lilley'a resolu tion was referred to the commit- n flu oI Speato Cannon is chairman, and that comitiitU-e now announces that it sees no occasion that it sees no occasion to conduct an invest'ga tion. Whatever may be the facts and the appearances 'are bad. , 'this attitude on the part ol the WATAUGA COUNTY, X. C THURSDAY MARCII 5. 1 90S. rules committee cannot b u t bring discredit on the Republi cans and it is surprhiinj that the Speaker and the other House lea ders are not sufficiently good pol iticians to appreciate the facts unless of course they appreciate that an investigation would bring to light facta even more discreditable than the suspicion. The political fight in the Re publican ranks wages as fast and furious as ever. The latest cnarge Drought uy the Tntt peo ple is that the anti-administration forces have purchased quan tities of space in the patent in side of certain newspapers-, con trary to the wishes of theeditorr and proprietors of those papers, anr are u.sinyr this space to vilify Roosevelt and Taft. William Al len White, who has always enjoy ed a good reputation for veraci ty and fearlessness, is the man who prefers the charge. . : The Brownsville affair is about to be brought tea close. Sena tor Foiaker has been putting off the evil day as long as possible, both because he hoped thus to gain favor with the Southern Re publicans, who are chiefly; of the colored persuasion, and because he hated to have the. country witness the fact after all this te dious and expensive investiga tion he had been ableonly to con vince the large , majority, of the Military Affairs committee that the negroes "shot up" the town of Brownville. 1 Of course the in vestigation has bei'n profitable to Mr. Foraker personally for all last summer, when the com mittee was sitting, Mr. Foraker was living in his magnificent home in Washington, and yet he was bhargiing the Government f 6 a day as hotel bill. ; This is a lact which the astute Senator from Ohio did not expect to be come public, but the fact is clear ly set forth in a public document which gives an itemized list of the expenditures paid for out of the contingent fund of the Senate. The present indications are that two Senators out of a total mem ber of thirteen will say on the fi nal vote that they believe the negroes innocent. They are Fora ker and Bulkley. .Two, Dupont and Scott, will probably sny that the guilt of negrnes has not been proved, while nine will say that they have no doubt of the guilt of the negroes.

As Col. Henry. TTatorsan Now Sees it. : Col. Waterson nincen-ly believ ed Johnson was the strongest canidate to wiu a,s diil not a fen good Democmts. But Col. Wa terson now sets a good example that will be followed by all anti Bryn n Democrats who are suro enough Democrats. He says; "The fact is that opinion gen erally is shaping up to the per suasion that Mr. Bryan in a y have a chance this time ol elec- biuu. vi 111a iiuiuiimuuii iy me Democratic party there is scarce ly room for any doubt, and seri ous and even hopeful considera tion might as well be given to the possibilities of his being elec ted, for, as we have remarked be fore, the important thing for the Democratic party is to elect a President and thus open oppor tunity for the employment .and development of the tal-nt in the Democratic ranks now buried especially in the South under the overwhelming weight of Re publicanism which has so long rested upon the laud. The time has come, in view of the practi cal certainty of his nomination and of the discord in the Repub lican party, to give serious con sideration to the possibilities of Mr. Bryan's election. A good many of us have been saying that there is no, such thing as a possi bility of his election, but the con ditions have changed mightily since our estimate of Bryan's chances was made and we may be too heavily influenced by our preconceptions ol the 1896-1901 period. This is 1908, and Theo dore Roosevelt has been cutting his wide swath and the field is very different from what it. used to be. The times are stormy and there is no telling Vhat may hap pen. Bryan's hour may be about to strike." The Charleston Post, referring to bets that Bryan will be elect ted, ventures the assertion that "there will be more betting on Bryan before long unless we are, mightily mistaken." The truth is, as Col. Waterson cas's, "times have changed," and the growth of Bryan strength and the resent ment all over the country to Re publican politics makes it cer tain that, the Presidential con test this year is going tQ be a hnrd-fought one, and that the winner will not be known until the vote is counted. If all Demo crats follow Waterson's exam ple nnd begin now to plan to help elect Bryan, he will be inaugura ted in Washington on the Fourth of next March. News and Obser ver. At times hen ypu don't feel just right when you have a biid stom ash, take something right away that will assist digestion; not something that will stimulate for a ttme but something that will positively do the very work that the stomach per torms under ordinary an ' normal conditions, something that will mnke the food digest. To do this you must take a natural d'gestant like Kobol for Dyspepsia. Kodol is a scientific prcparau a of egeta"le preparation of vegetahln acids with natural digeuf nts and contains the same juices f, he found in a healthy stomach. T!ach dose will digest more thifn 3,000 grains of good food, his sure to afford prompt relief; It di. gests what yomeat and is pleasant to take. Sold by J. M. Iiodges. One night last week a young mau in Gastonia went to call on his sweet-heart. Hanging' up his over coat in the hall . he stepped into the parlor, saying, "let me show VOU a trick." at. the nmn I time drawing a pistol froin his pocket. It went off and the ball I crashed through his head. Death! resulted about two hours later. An Edito.'s t'andtd Statement. The News is heartily in fayorof State prohibition. In making this statement we had as well go a step further and say that we are nor, and never lieHn, a total ab stainer. The writer has always taken a nrink whenever he want-t ed one and could get ona-and does not care a rap who knows it. He frequently goes for mouths without tasting whiskey and on the other hand sometimes sits down with congenial friends and imbibes a quart with the great set complacency. Hours thus spent are very delightful but we are free to confess that "there is a difference in the morning." Con stituted as Ave are, being '-hale fellow well met," ready always to "weep with those that week and rejoice with those that rejoice," to be dry with those that aredrv and to drink with those that are wet, we feel that, personally, pro hibition is the thing foru?. We also believe that there are thou sands of other men similarly con stituted. If Whiskey is easily get atable they will drink it. and if notge.t-at-ablo they won't go to any great trouble to get it, We are all better off without it, so let's "let'er go. "-The Lincolnton News; Bert Barber, of Elton, Wis , says: "I have only taken four doses of your Kidney and Bladder Pills and !tney have done for me more than any other medicine has ever done. 1 am still taking the pilU as I want a perfect cure," Mr. Barber refers to De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills. They are sold by J. 'M. Hodges. Talking about Mie great chmigt that has taken place in buiiiif'8tf matters within the Inst few mouths, a man who employs a good many men at times, said: "People got. the idea in their bends that there never would be any more-hard times. .The com monest, unskilled labor was ho indebendont thatyou could hard ly keep a force.

Thej best remedy known today for all stomach troubles is Kodol, which is guaraleed to give prompt relief, It is a natural digestant; it digests what you ca it iseasy to take and is sold here by J. M.
