Lyceum Course.
Mr. S . H. Bryan,, of Atlanta,
Ga ., representative of the Alka
hest Lyceum Bureau, spent two
days the latter part of the past
week in Roxboro assisting ProL
B. V. Henry in arranging for a
Lyceum course in Roxboro for
the
has selected an unusually' strong
course, consisting of' five nnmhen
no one number containing fewer
than three persons. If this course
can be definitely arranped our
beople have something good to
look forward to during the com
ing season. We regret to learn
however, that the course isr notl
L J . . I
ye ass urea unless at least twelve
more season ticket subscriptions
can be secured.
The fact that the Lyceum ap
peals most to the cultured and in
telligent citizenship of a commun
ity, and that it has become a per
manent institution in our town
and has grown with the remarka
ble growth of the town for the
past few years, speaks eloquent
ly of the progressiveness and in
telligence of our cttizenshipand
we hope that those who have not
already done so will see Prof,
Henry at once and subscribe so
as to procure the course.

FINE PROGRESS MADE ON
THE TARIFF BILL. i
Cheaper Grade of Blankets Du
tiable 25 Per Cent Ad Valo
rum. ." ,,
Washington Sept. 15. Most
of he knotry problems in the
wool and paper schedules were
disposed of today by the House
and Senate conferees on theDe -
mocra tic tariff bill, and a, good
start made on the sundries; sche-
i du e. ' i - l!
One of ttie important agree-,
ments of the day occurred when
the Senate conferees accepted the
House paragraph making the
cheaper grades of woolen blank
ets dutiable at 25 per cent kl
valorem. The paragraph - on
Woe len yarns was compromised
by splitting the difference be:
tween the two houses, the House
having voted a 20 per cent and
the Senate a fifteen per cent du
ty. Similar treatment was iven
the duty on tops, made dutiable
oy the House at 15 per cent duty
and by the Senate at 5 per cent.
Some of the Changes.
Slight changes were made in
the Senate's rates on woolen,
stockings and the House para
graph on oriental rugs was adopt
ed. Angora goat and mohair:
were passed over, the conferees
not being able to agree.
Slight reductions were made in
the Senate rates on paper. The
only paragraph in this schedule
not disposed of was that dealings
with picture cards and booklets
liraographicW rted.hTs
was passea Dy ior iunner con
sideration. Freight Discrimination Denounc
ed. A delayed speech in support of
the tariff bill was made in the
Senate todav by Senate Thomas,
who had prepared his speech
for delivery during the tariff de
bare but was prevailed uuop to
withhold it so that passage of the
bill might not be delayed. He
warmly defended the sugar sche- J
dule and declared that much of
the agitation against free sugar
by the beet sugar interests was
tassd on a misapprehension.
Over capitalization of corpora
tions and discriminatory freight
rates were denounced by the
speaker as causes of the high
cost of living. He characterized
the watering of stock as legalized
robbery, and declared, if it were
necessary to get equitable freight
rates, he favored government
ownership of railroads.
SenatorSimmons Leadership.
Senator Simmons has given
evidence of wise leadership in the
tariff in the Senate. At various
times in its progress influential
Northern periodicals such as the
Independent and Leslie's Weekly
have contained articles compli
mentary to him. After the final
vote was announced Senator Gal
linger, of New Hampshire, thank
ed Senator Simmons for- the
"courteous, kindly and consider
atenJanner', in which the debate
had been conducted. The fight
withthe exception of one or two
instances has been free from
bitterness, Mr. Wilson himself
very cordially said: . "I want to
express my special admiration for
the devoted, intelligent and un
tiring work of Mr. Underwood
and Mr. Simmons and the. com
mittee associated with them."r

PASS THE CURRENCY RE
; FORM BILL.
yNo tariff bill could possibly be
enacted which would please every
one. And the same is true of
ny currency or banking reform
bill: Opposition to - measures in
ihe tariff bill came thick and fast.
They'are coming in as to the cuf-
rency and banking bill. Such
was, to be expected and occasions
no-surprise. w
'CCurrency reform is needed, has
been needed for a long time, and
theb'ill which is now before Con-,
gress is considered by the great
majority of people as being as
satisfactory a bill -as can be de
vised; though it is to be 'expected
that as it goes through the mill pf
legislation there will be small de
taitschanged here and there. But
inprjnciple the bill rings clear.
Three things about it which
shbulcH be held in mind, these
stated by -Secretary of State Bry
an are as follows:
FirstThe bill recognizes the
sovereign right of the goyern-
mehc' to issue money.
- "SecondThe bill provides
thath&' people, through -their
governmental agents, shall regu
late; the issue of the currency pro-
videcf foi. This giyes protection
froa a selfish,ttse othe regulat
ihiower 1Third 1 hev bill extends to
StaleandNationaL banks alike
the' help wjitch the Federal gov
etninept offers in times of emer-
;;;iatfea--Sccretary Bryan
say$ V)i tne proposea measure:
'Mf the details of the bill can be
regarded as foothills, these three
provisions stand out like moun
tain peaks. If the people can se
cure the three advantages named
above; ihey can afford to accep t
any details that a majority of the
Senate and House -nay write into
the bill. A detail can be changed
when experience shows it to be
unwise, but a change in a funda
mental principle is more difficult."
And he declares that the more
the bill is studied the more cor
rect will be found the principles
upon which it is built.
Tne need pf a new currency
measure is recognized, and the
opposition which has arisen to the
measure proposed, in some of its
parts, is largely from bankers in
the great financial centers.
Among the general banking in
terests, especially in the South
and West and Northeast, there is
expressed a large degree of satis
faction with the pending bill. As
viewed by the country at large the
bill should be' passed with as
much dispatch as possible, with
any changes as to detail agreed
upon, and later, if it is found ne-
ceslaryTamendments to it can be
enacted. The thing now is to
pass the bill which is offered.
