Bring Out Your Money.
President Roosevelt, in his letter to j
Secretary Cortelyou approving of the j
issue of $100,000,000 interest bearing
certificates and of $50,000,000 in Panama |
bonds, gives the people of the United
States a bit of advice which it would
be well for them to follow.
"What is most needed just at pres- j
ent," be says, "is that our citizens j
should realize how fundamentally j
sound business conditions in this ooun- j
try are, and how absurd it, is to permit j
themselves to get into a panic and !
create a stringency by hoarding their
savings instead of trusting perfectly
sound banks."
Precisely. It is the doctrine which
The Inquirer has been preaching from
the start. There is nothing the matter
with the banks, nothing with business
conditious, but there will be if this ab
surd policy of hoarding money and
keeping it out of general circulation
continues. Denude the banks of
money and lock it up at home and
you put an end to prosperity, becauso
business cannot be run without money.
"There is no particle of risk involv
ed in letting business take its natural
course," continues the President.
"The people can help themselves and
the country most by putting back into
active circulation the money they are
hoarding. The banks and trust com
panies are solvent."
And to prove that they are solvent
and that the United States Govern
mens has every possible confidence in
their integrity, the government al
ready has deposited $60,000,000 with
them and the proceeds of the sale of
the Panama bonds and of the certifi
cates of indebtedness amounting to
$100,000,0000 more, will also go into
the banks.
This marks the faith of the govern
ment in the sound condition of affairs,
and the President asks the people to
evince their faith in the same way.
"I appeal to the public to co-operate
with us," hesays, "in restoring normal
business conditions. The government
will see that the people do not suffer,
if only the people themselves will act
in the normal way."
The masses have had every confi
pence in President Roosevelt. They
have followed wherever he has led.
Now is the time for them to show
their confidence in a practical way.
Let them restore their money to the
banks from which so many thousands
of them have withdrawn it. And if
there are still those who doubt, then
by all means let them take their dollars
from the hiding places and purchase
the new government securities, upon
which they will be paid three per cent,
interest.
This is a good deal better than let
ting the money lie idle at home and
subject to risks of loss. If the govern- |
ment of United States cannot be trust
ed, then the world will come to an end
and there will be no use for money.
But if the people have a duty to per
form, so have the banks themselves.
Let them put a stop to their own hoard
ing of currency at the earliest possible
moment and there will be an end to
this abnormal and wholly senseless
situation. When a depositor finds that
he can get all of the money he wants
from the funds he has on deposit at an
instant's notice, he is perfectly con
tented to do without. He doesn't want
that money, in fact. And that is all
there is about it.
The government has taken a step
which should put almost immediately
a large amount of ready money in cir
culation. It is for the banks and the
people to co-operate. Absolutely the
only thing needed is confidence.—

"Im Married Now.
Considerable interest is being mani
fested in the coming of that funny
commedian George F.Hall, in the new
musical vaudeville mixture, "I'm
Married Now." It is the clever work
of Mr Ilall and the specialties intro
duced by the capable company. This
company will appear at opera house
in the near future. Watch for the
dates.
A tickling cough, from any cause, is
quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop's Cough
Cure. And it is so thoroughly harm
less and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells
mothers everywhere to give it without
hesitation even to very young babies.
The wholesome green leaves and tend
er stems of a lung-healing mountain
ous shrub, furnish the curative proper
ties to Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. It
cairns the cough, and heals the sore and
sensitive bronchial membranes. No
opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh
used to injure or suppress. Simply a
resimous plant extract, that helps to
heal aching lungs. The Spaniards call
this schrub which the Doctor uses,
"The Sacred Herb." Demand Dr.
Shoop's. Take no other. Sold by all
dealers.
An Appeal for"The Bread Line" j
The Bowery Mission "Bread Line,"
of which 1,000 men who are out in the
streets for the night are given a break
fast of hot coffee and rolls every morn
ing atone o'clock, is one of the most
pathetic sights in all the wide world.
Long before the hour of opening, these I
poor, starving men stand in a single!
line that some times extends 112 r blocks
in length, waiting for coffee and rolls.
During the last winter, this breakfast
was given to a total of 144,000 homeless
men and boys, and up to date nearly
nearly half a million of the homeless
have had their weary tramp restfully
interrupted by this unique ministra
tion. The first of these breakfasts is
given on Thanksgiving morning, and
the last on the following Easter morn
ing. Altogether the Mission supplied,
this year, over 233,000 meals and 10,072
lodgings to homeless men and boys.
It is for this grand, philantropic
work that wo ask your kind and prac
tical co-operation. The homeless,
friendless, disheartened and dispairing
men and boys of the Bowrey are not
native New Yorkers, but men and boys
who, until within a year, lived happily
at the old homestead with father and
mother, and perhaps wife. They are
stranded here, and in dispair appeal to
the Old Bowery Mission, which, for
over thirty years, has been to the un
fortunate, as the rescue cities of old, a
heaven of encouragement,rest and pro
tection. Shall we turn them away? It
rests with the good people of the coun
try to decide the question, and may
God graciously help you to decide it
right.

Very Interesting Entertainment
Promised.
What will prove to be one of the
most interesting entertainments to be

composed of a quartette of talented
and pleasing young lady artibts and
this concert will offer to the music

spending an enjoyable evening. The
program will consist of piano, violin
and vocal solos, duets, etc., and will bo

pany comes highly recommended by
the public press, and no one can very
well afford to miss the opportunity of
hearing them. For benefit of Presby
terian church.
"Sis in New York."
"Sis in New York" is coming Wed
nesday, Nov. 27, to the Emporium
opera house. Sis and her ludiana
neighbors have been so long before
the public entertaining and delighting
those who have an ear for the quaint
brand of comedy found just the same !
nowhere else save Posy County, Hoop
pie township, Indiana, needs no intro
duction. This season's edition of fun,
frolic takes Sis and her rural friends
into New York and she is carefully
kept busy dodging the autos and cars
for she insists on walking in mid
street in case any of the big buildings
should fall.
The Broken Dollar Store.
Mrs. Mary Conway, widow of Lewis
Conway, who was killed in the railroad
yard at this place some weeks ago, has
opened a Broken Dollar Store on

A FATAL COLLISION!
Three Men Instantly Killed
and Burned.
Last Saturday, about 1:10 p. in., a
collision took place at Howard Siding,
five miles west of this place, between
two freight trains. Extra train No.
•165 stopped at Howard to take water,
when train No. 84 came thundering
down grade at a rapid speed and crash
ed into No. 465, demolishing ten cars
and killing three men—conductor
Casper Fey, of St. Marys; brakeman,
John H. Curry, of Johnsenburg and
flagman Thomas J. Welsh, of Renovo,
but a native of Emporium, being a son
of our townsman, Mr John Welsh.
Young Welsh was married, his wife
being a daughter of Krebbs, of
this place. They have no children.
The other poor unfortunates were un
married. Immediately upon the pil
ing up ofthe cars the wreck took fire
and two of the men were roasted, al
though dead when the flames broke
out. Casper Fey, the conductor, was
not burned. He was thrown against
the engine aud crushed to death. As
soon as possible the r\ & E., fire bri
gade of Renovo, the Kane and Renovo
wrecking crews reached the scene.
The men could be seen before the fire
engine arrived, lying in the wreck
dead.
The bodies were recovered late in
the afternoon and brought to Empori
um and placed in charge of Under
taker Laßar's assistant, Mr. C. W.
Rishell, to prepare for burial.
Pending an investigation it cannot
be told how the accident happened, or
the cause. Mr. Welsh was noticed by
theengineer William Brennan, come
to the door as his train was almost up
on the crew, and hastened back into
the caboose, evidently to warn his
companions, when he was canght with
the rest. What caused all three of the
men to be in the caboose at this time !
will always rem'ain a mystery.
The remains of Mr. John H. Ovrty,
aged 29, were shipped to Johnsonburg,
while those of Casper Fey were taken
to St. Marys. The remains of Thomas
J. Welsh, aged 32 years, were kept
here and the funeral held at St. Mark's
Catholic Church Tuesdey morning, at
nine o'clock. The funeral was under
the direction of Mr. William Deitzler,
one of Undertaker Laßar's assistants.
Father Downey delivered appropriate
sermon. The funeral was very largely
| attended by relatives and friends many
coming here from Renovo and other
towns.
Women and the Saloons.
An article in The Sun yesterday, un
der the caption of "A Glimpse at the
Dark Side," is a sad commentary upon
the lives and conduct of some of the
' youths and girls of this city who fol
low the deplorable practice of street
roistering and saloon visitation. It
also is glaring indictment ofthe pro
prietors of such places as lend them
selves to the business of thus graduat
ing young folks in immorality and be
getting the causes and the circumstan
ces that finally lead to' the local police
courts and worse. It was shown by
this disclosure that there are saloons in
this city where the side door entrances
swing open in voracious invitation to
boys and girls whose ages, if nothing
else, would be a barrier to their en
trance if the proprietors of these places
sought either to consult a sense of de
cency or the law. As to the latter,
there is very evident lazness shown by
the ward officers whose duty it is to
pay vigilant attention to the provisions
of the license statutes and report vio
lations of the same to the court. The
court only at the last license term call
ed attention to the fact that complaints
had been made to it that some of the
hotel men of this city and out-lying dis
trict were permitting the indiscrimi
nate intermingling of the sexes in
i their places of business and that this
! custom must stop, else revocation of
i license would follow.
To the credit of some of the landlords
l of this city let it be said that women
are not allowed in their places. This
j ought to be true of every one of them,
and the man who is not willing to con
serve to this rule ought not to have a
! license. There can be but one c«nse-
I quence in the custom of permitting
women to frequent drinking rooms—it
it invariably leads to more flagrant
evils, for both themselves and their
male companions—Williamsport Sun.

Help the Editor.
A n editor puts forth this plea: "My
friend, help the editor in his wide
eyed search for news. When your
friends come to visit you, if you are
ashamed of it, tell him; when your
wife gives a tea party, if you will have
recovered from the effects of the gossip,
drop in with the news; when a baby ar
rives fill your pockets with cigars
and call; if you goto a party, steal
some of the good things and leave
'em with the item in our sanctum. If
your wife licks you, come and let us
see your scars and tender sympathy
through the paper. If your mother-in
law has died, don't be bashful about it,
give in all the common place news. In
short, whatever makes you feel proud,
sad, lonesome or glad submit it to our
twenty-four c irat wisdom and our mat
ted locks part and stand up on end
with gratitude, which will pour from
every pore with moisture from a dew
besprinkled earth."

Big Improvement in Money
Situation.
NEW YORK, NOV. 19 —As evidence of
the marked improvement in the finan

nouncement to-day that the Twelfth
Ward Bank, one of the institutions
which suspended payment during the
early days of the crisis, will re-open for
business to-morrow. The announce
ment wai made in the form of a brief
notice posted on the door of the bank.
The local sub-treasury to-day receiv
ed its first official advice from Wash
ington regarding the government's is
sue of §100,000,000 of Treasury certifi
cates. Subscriptions for nominal
amounts were taken, but nothing was

to have been formed to take up a por
tion of the issue.
No deposit is required with subscrip
tions to the Treasury certificates and
banks and brokerage houses in the
financial district announced their will

Frantz, who had been left to throw the
switch. Forgetting about the caboose
coming he stepped out on the track and
was knocked down. One arm is brok

recovery.
Mr. Frantz is single and makes his
; home with his parents at Brockport.—
