Butte Creek, Mich., Nov. 2—In his address before the American Purity congress here this afternoon, Anthony Comstock freely reviewed his long fight against vice, and particularly against obscene literature and obscene books and pictures. He told of attempted attacks upon him which had been made, he said, as a result of his efforts against the favorite methods of the publishers of indecent literature. He was a graduate, he said, of the most famous membership from colleges and schools, and the diploma was a full set of obscene pictures. Mr. Comstock severely criticised the late Robert Ingersoll for his support of book-sellers who objected to the congress of the so-called Comstock law, and also criticised United States District Attorney Crane and Mrs. Caroline Bartielle Crane, a widely known woman lecturer of Kalamazoo, Mich. Her, Crane referred to both, he said, whose motives could have been other than honest. He cited names and dates to sustain his assertion respecting Comstock's characterization of Mr. Ingersoll as an enemy of purity. Mrs. M. Evelyn Crinnigen, one of Chicago's greatest women orators, in favor of enveloping physiological instruction, followed Mr. Comstock. She paid a high tribute to and overrode the University of Athens through the distinction of conferred the first M. A. degree given a Greek woman, spoke of the necessity that their community with nature and the objects of true purity in public life. Rev. Joseph M. McCarty of Kalamazoo, Mich., spoke of the need to find their purity even with the plant of procreation, and the privilege of allowing girls to travel alone. **IT'S CONTINUED TODAY.** Horosvet's annual sale of men's outerwear; all new garments, carefully selected and purchased.

The endowment of that university is part of that amount of $150,000, which is to be distributed among various colleges. --- ## Column 2 # CLOUDS HAVE SILVER LINING ### T. J. WALSH, RECENTLY RETURNED FROM EAST, SAYS PROSPERITY REIGNS. ### Former Democratic Candidate for Congress in Montana Believes That William J. Bryan Is Choice of Party for President. Hon. T. J. Walsh of Helena arrived in the city last evening and will spend several days in Butte attending to legal business before the federal court. Mr. Walsh, who was the democratic candidate for congressman from Montana last fall, has recently returned from a trip to Chicago and other large eastern cities, where he has been observing the financial and political situation at close range in the financial end of the great United States. He was a delegate to the national convention of the Civic league, which recently convened in Chicago, and while there met people from nearly every part of the country. With these he conversed freely and from them gained a wide knowledge of the present conditions existing insofar as the financial condition of affairs is concerned. **General Prosperity.** "I was impressed with the peculiarity of the situation which has for the past few weeks confronted the American people," said Mr. Walsh, last evening at the Thornton hotel. "While in Chicago and elsewhere I visited the city during the very time that the financial flurry was at its worst. From my general observations, I could observe that the country was in a most prosperous condition. The crops of the entire republic crops were abundant and money seemed everywhere to be plentiful. But in the financial centers of the east, money was scarce and a panic seemed impossible of being averted. "I heard a great deal of the controversy which is supposed to have existed between the Amalgamated Copper company, the Standard Oil, and certain Republican politicians. However, I ascertained that in New York the officials of these companies considered a factor which it was much desired to prevent from any situation. **Obstacles Swept Away.** "Be that as it may, there is no doubt in my mind that the financial situation of affairs is but transient. From present indications, whatever it was, the closing of the mines of Butte is only temporary, and that when the clouds have passed, the future will be even brighter than the past. "Among all classes of people in the east, there seems to be general confidence and the belief that we shall be able to overcome all obstacles which confront us. Since previous experience in the financial and commercial world of enterprise, the recognized great stock market in New York was accessible by the general depression of times, will be found to have a more kindly hand. "In regard to the situation in Montana, I must say that from what I have observed in my travels about the state, the situation in Butte is serious enough. The closing of the Amalgamated copper metropolis in Helena times affects the entire state to that extent, but on the other hand, I have found not the least inconvenience or any great want of money in places prevailing in the financial centers of various cities. I think the various western Montana cities prosperous enough, and this [illegible] attests the great wealth of the communities in New York. **Political Activity.** "In any case there is considerable political activity, notwithstanding the fact that the state elections are now yet nearly a year distant. In New York, William J. Bryan is now just as widely known, and must be largely credited with being the New York democratic vote. His recent speech seems decidedly to have inspired the democratic possibilities in the forthcoming campaign. On the other hand the great conservative body of democratic sentiment does not appear to favor Bryan in the least. We hear our own Congressman O'Connor attack Bryan's line of influences south, but after all, I think that the decided matter is that Bryan is stronger to the democrats in this state." When asked regarding his general opinion, the American people is truly remarkable. Mr. Walsh said that the future of the democratic party for the coming year seemed to him to practically be assured. He is assured that the general trend of opinion in the east during his recent trip, that the feeling seemed to be that Bryan was capable of securing one million votes, and that without any opposition. "Do you think Roosevelt will be the democratic candidate?" he was asked. **Concerning Third Term.** "Really," replied the prominent Montana attorney, "I have my own private predictions, but in my own opinion I think that beyond all doubt that the great mass of the American people take him at his word and that much of his strength will be rendered in the fact the people believe him to be a man of sincerity, and there would be no call against Roosevelt's position. In face of his declarations, he would be pledged in his own record to credible ardent supporters." When asked concerning Colonel Roosevelt's candidacy, Mr. Walsh announced that the great moneyed interests in the east were deeply concerned and may venture forth into the political atmosphere for the coming year, ruminating ultimately whether to endorse or oppose Roosevelt's marked political. **Congressional Rumor.** When asked as to the probable results of the coming session of the national congress, Mr. Walsh had little to say. He paid a glowing tribute to the ability of Colonel Joseph M. Dixon, senator, and expressed his conviction and certain suggestion that Mr. Frey would be made a member of important committees in the lower house. "In a general," said Mr. Walsh, "any member of congress will be able to render great service to the people of Montana." Mr. Frey is in the city at the present time, and in answer to as much of an inquiry regarding congressional affairs, refused to be interviewed and said emphatically that he had "positively nothing to give out." In a prominent local republican, however, the following opinion is being stated that he was playing "Foxy." He is asserted to fairly plainly state that through his nearly putting associates of the government, he intends to be loyal in his own confidential position. He is supposed to have considerable information about the Washington prospect, and it is considered likely that he will be the choice for some appointment of the presiding officer of the lower house. --- ### Personal O.

Nolan is stopping at the Thornton hotel while in the city on business before the federal court. Mrs. Harold Compton arrived and will spend the winter here.

New York, Nov. 3.—The second of a series of three conferences between New York's large financial interests was held at J. P. Morgan's library, adjoining his residence, tonight.

Concerning yesterday's meeting, Morgan stated that it had been arranged primarily for a discussion of the prospects of moving the grain and cotton crops. "A prompt movement of grain and cotton to the seaboard," he said, "and the early loading on board ships for export, means a great deal in the present situation, indirectly, because as soon as the cotton and grain is loaded, we can draw again and this will relieve the situation, having once controlled."

FOWLER'S IDEA OF NEW CREDIT SYSTEM *(Continued from Page One.)* and contracting with the ordinary demands of the smaller trade, precisely as checks and drafts do in the broader field of commerce. "The picture is presented for enough so as to give the people of the republic a pretty clear perspective of the real situation. "First, the condition is now general. Second, there is no financial issue in country. Second, if the gold certificate of United States bonds and silver certificates or the reserve money which circulates as bank reserve, which in agricultural districts of all sections, make up the year's business, I am confident that there would be broadcast over the land were in the face of so great prosperity that there would be no money panic this fall. "The proof that the nation is producing. During the past four months there has been turned over the banks in this country approximately $250,000,000 of currency. It is understood that a total of $950,000,000 approximately was been turned through, it is very notable the banks, would serve as a basis of credit which would be a check. The coming present crisis would have been averted. "The credit currency we give the United States $100,000,000 of credit currency." "Canada has a credit currency which gives the United States $100,000,000 every fall. The banking power of the country at its every fall, $25,000,000 per capita. We would extend for the United States $250,000,000 of credit currency. But we have now done: "If the banks in which the $250,000,000 was stored, could have been brought out, as they should have been, to create more credit currency by converting book credits, and they had proceeded, they could have taken in their book credits into bank note credits, the credits would have been extended to any degree in any way, and the books of the country would have been supplied with currency with which to sustain the bank book credits. "It is not a difficult step to take. Simply by authorizing each bank to issue a bank check upon itself, which is a current credit, that is, could use for endorsement without requiring no endorsement. By this process the book credit and the bank notes would have been converted into bank-note credit, and the [illegible] required for both forms of credits, the bank check, which we are using, and a banking bank note will be held on our. The bank debt is the author's—it is not a troublesome step. There has been only a matter of bookkeeping. **In Other Countries.** "An issue of credit currency adequate to the normal demands of trade would have been issued, and the whole public privilege followed by every civilized nation. But this has not been done. Mark this: The banking power of the republic is $10,000,000 billion—the sum of $50,000 and now exceeds $25,000,000,000. Against this enormous volume—the credit power of the world in 1896, which Millard referred to in his address—the banking power of the entire world outside of the United States does not total more than $4,000,000,000. Is it curious? And yet, while the United States is in the currency, and yet, while the entire United States has but the banking power of the entire world, it has not a flexible currency, not a commercial credit, although the four-sevenths of the world's supply; it is said to have advantage of $3,000,000 current credits. On the same basis we are entitled to issue $150,000,000, and twice that. "If this principle were broadly adopted, as generous as this should be, our bank reserves might ten- to fifteen-fold its annual rate, from 20 per cent to about 20 percent and our banking operations would be ten-fold: "Can anyone give a single reason why we should use a checkbook for a hundred million people on the very same bank on which we are banking upon? Isn't it peculiar that the United States of America, more than ample to insure its redemption in gold? **What It Would Mean.** "Let any one say why the leading country could exchange one billion in the banks on July 1, 1907, to give the holders of the certificate books about 1 percent, while our reserve money circulates from the great fund of advantage reserves being about equal a small portion of its gold. It is this alone and is sufficient to justify a total of over $50,000,000 of credit gold credit. "France has a current currency it contracts twice a year at the rate of $1.25 per capita, or $7,000,000. "The same volume would give the United States, on the same basis a check of arts and trades in this city of $125. --- ## Column 6 # DOCTOR DODD HAS MOVED ## NEW OFFICE, 115 N.

The claim that they were simply being followed and there was not tenable. Both Mason and Kline were well acquainted with Harper. A coroner's inquest will be held on the death of Walker tomorrow. The telegram which Supt. Crane sent from Durango contained information that Harper was killed, and were on Harper entirely at variance with the actual conditions, confusing many people. Harper was the first to communicate from Durango, however, and after giving several miles to reach a telephone. He stated that he and his two companions from Durango and in pursuance of the killing of Walker under the charge the shot was fired in a definite way, that it, that instead of going south at the mouth of the tunnel, but that, instead, there was a mistake in reading the means of the rope holder by which they had climbed together, and he further also stated that four bullets wounds were found in the walker's body.

He confirmed this, and on inquiry it was found that he fired two or but one cartridge from his pistol but that it was never found. He had fired a mark yesterday. Harper further testified he claimed that the action of the Hopesco people were entitled on the basis, and that the Durango coroner would be respected by government orders to subpoena witnesses as to whether or not the boundary lines of the Durango jurisdiction could be reached. On going in the direction which Harper and Mason reported to make their report, they had simply worked and abandoned their plan call together. --- ### FAMOUS OLD RELICS ARE TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION [Special Dispatch to the Miner.] Helena, Nov. 4.—The personal property of the late Thomas Strange, a Montana pioneer, who fought in the war against Indian warfare, is to be sold at auction tomorrow.
