THE WASHINGTON TDCES, FItfDAY, FEBRUAUT 23. 1012. 1t CAMPAIGN RB CURRENCY REFORM IN UNITED STATES National Citizens' League Combats Idea of Money It- Trust. The campaign for currency reform legislation has become cxtromoly acttvo nnd Is being carried on In many parts of the country. In reality.

It Is a campaign for tho national rcscrvo association plan which former Senator Aldrlch Is credited Tlth being: tho author of, or for a plan that will, at most, not vary greatly from that proposition. The active work Is being directed by tho National Citizens' League, which has headquarters In Chicago, and of which Prof. J. Lauronco Laughlln is chairman of tho executive committee. According to statements sent out by tho league, it now has organizations In forty-ono States.

An educational campaign on tho need for monetary reform Is being carried on In many sections by speulierH of tho league. Prof. Laughlln Is speaking In the South, Prof. V. A.

Scott, of tho University of Wisconsin. 1b muklng speeches In various States, and other speakers aro busy. Combat Falso Idea. The speakers for tho national reserve association plan or tho Aldrlch plan are trying to brush away tho idea that if this plan is put through a fow powerful financial Interests will control it. Tho National Citizens' League Is Issuing a publication known as "Banking Reform," and much of this Is devoted to combating the Idea that a few ilnanclcrs could control tho reservo association plan.

Some of tho spoakors for tho lcaguo are riaicuung uio mca mat more is a Moniy trust or monoy power. Dean Joseph French Johnson, of tho New York University School of Commerce, for instance, made a speoch before tho Economic Club of Boston recently in which ho talked lightly about tho bogey of a Monoy trust. Howcer, tho National Citizens' League as a whole is not treating tho Money trust issuo in that fashion, hut Is dealing with it in hrouder and more serious manner. The league Is not de riding tho movement in Congress to investigate the so-called Money trust. or money power.

It Is taking tho position that such an investigation would be helpful. But it is at the same tlmo trying to promoto tho idea that tho true way to break up the community of interest amonc certain powerful financiers is to provide the country with a proper banking and currency plan. Rests With Congress. It Is alleged that this community of Interest really arises from a defective and Inadequate banking and currency system and that Congress will do more to break It up by providing a proper system than by stopping at a mere Investigation of a Money trust or money power, or whatever ono may call it. While it is well understood that there is no probability of comprehensive currency legislation at this session of Con-piess or before the Presidential election, the activity of the National Citizens' League and tho organized cam-imign it is making, suggests that cur-lencv reform is going to become an extremely live issue at Washington in 1913.

Crisco fried chicken For frying chicken, heat Crisco very hot; then drop in a few pieces of chicken at a time. They will fry so quickly that the batter instantly forms a crisp crust which prevents absorption. This preserves the full flavor of the meat so that you secure the real chicken flavor. In addition to producing better results, Crisco's high frying point makes your fried foods, drier and more healthful.

The first time you use Crisco for frying, you will appreciate that Crisco fried foods look better, taste better and are more easily digested. Thla high temperature, at which you can fry in Crisco, is impractical with lard. When you try to heat lard to such a point, it will both scorch and burn.

Feb. the re- port of tho chemist examining tho contents of the stomachs of eight babies who died under mysterious circumstances In tho Brooklyn Nursery and Infants' Hospital Is complete, tho authorities will tako no further stops today in tho matter.

While convinced that the eight infanta who have died thero slnco Sunday, wero poisoned, and that oxalio acid mixed with milk was tho cause, the fart that meningitis might possibly have been the actual cause, resulted In ordeis being given for tho chemical examination. Coroner's Physician Wuest insisted today that theie was no question but that poison caused the deaths. Ho pointed out that if It had been tnenglnl-tls every child In the hospital would have been ill. whereas those killed and those still 111 were Inmates of the same department. While at first tho detectives who are working on tho caso believed that some person with a homicidal mania had tried to kill all of the children In tho hopsital, they leaned today to tho belief that If It Is Anally proved that oxalic acid caused tho deaths it got Into the milk by accident and through carelessness on the part of some of the employes.

President Taft has set out to win the nomination for a second term by tho gastronomic method. Ho has been free ly charged many times with applying tho club of Federal patronage to tho purpoRA of getting Taft delegates, but tho latest thing la that ho is applying tho White Houso culslno to this end.

When this nows dawns on tho Houso Democrats it Is expected that some ono will rise un and demand an Investigation Into tho proprloty and validity of tho appropriation or public victuals to tnu private end of securing a rcnomlnatlon ior me l'rcaiucncy.

McLaughlin, who represents tho Ninth district. Juki why Mr. McLaughlin Is not Invited has not been officially announced, but it is an interesting circumstance that tho Mclaughlin district is permeated with Roosevcltlsm. Some folks aro showing a disposition to connect tho two facts. The Invitation to the Michigan delegation has served to direct attention, too.

to the fact that tho West Virginia Republicans wero lately asked in to dlno at tho White Action Essential. Gossip about tho Capitol Is that nu-morous delegations aro to be Invited to dine at tho White- Houso between now and the mlddlo of spring. In fact, tho nows of tho hospitality shown to ono or two delegations almost makes It csson-tlal for the President to ask other Stato delegations whero ho expects to get support. Otherwlso tho gentlemen may feel they havo been slighted. This Is ono rcspoct In which tho ardent adherents of Roosevelt hero admit that the colonel will bo lacking.

While the colonel is feeding his friends and tho enemies he would win over on tho husks of the "charter of democracy" President Taft is serving out largo hunks of roast beef, baked potatoes, and, presumably, apple pie, not to mention copious draughts of black coffee and cigars.
