Gallck vs. r. J. Bordeaux, appealed from
Silver Bow, an action to recover posses

SMALL BILLS ARE
IN DEMAND NOW

New York, April 26.-United States
Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts, who is on a
business trip to this city, in talking last
night of the scarcity of bills of small de-
nominations throughout the country,
said:
"Ths lack of small bills is due in some
parts of the country to the fact that the
bankers do not take the trouble to send
in their bills of large denominations and
get small ones in exchange. This is the
case nearly everywhere except in the
larger cities of the east and in the north
western states In the northwest there
has been such a wave of prosperity dur
ing the last two years that the bankers
and merchants have had no occasion to
send their money east as they did in
previous years. They are rich enough to
keep their money at home. There was
a lack of small bills in this city up to a
few months ago, but now the bankers,
merchants and business men of every
kind have all the small bills they want.
They have gotten them by sending on
their larger bills The revenue stamps
on checks have probably had something
W
use their smaller bills.
THE reason we cannot issue the
smaller bills as fast as the bankers want
them is because we are restricted by the
law. The law allows us to issue only
$346, 900 in United States notes and the
silver certificates are restricted by the
number of standard dollars held in the
treasury. We are now printing only
small bills and have big supply on hand
but cannot issue them because of the re-
strictionS l have mentioned. So the only
recourse for the banks that want small
bills is to send in large bills in exchange
for them. In the 10 ub-treasuries
throughout the United States there is
$34200O,000 in gold but only $1S.0O0,OOO in
paper. We are sending out paper money
in bills Of small denominations now at the
rate of about $3,000,000 a week. But a
good part of this is sent out in place of
old and mutilated bills. Although there
is shortage of small bills in circulation,
the country was never richer in fund than
it is at the present time"

Justice to the Policemen.

We trust there is no truth in the
current report that the mayor INTENDS
10 make certain dismissals from the
police force in retaliation against mem
hers of select council who do not feel
inclined to vote for the continuation
of his nominee for chief of the hre
department. In his inaugural mes
sage the mayor promised explicitly to
conduct the police department on a
merit basis absolutely. HIS exact
words were:
"The establishment of a police force
which will protect life and property
and secure the fearless execution of
the laws greatly depends upon the or
SANITATION and discipline demanded.
While the present number of patrol
men is too few to give the city the
service which its population and large
area requires. still what they lack in
numbers they have in quality. l be-
lieve the force is composed OF excel
lent material. all anxious to do their
whole duty, and l shall devote to the
service the best of my energies and
Judgment. When vacancies occur or
the force is increased the selection of
those appointed will be dictated by a
desire TO secure the best men attain
able. and no influence shall prevent
the dismissal of those who by any ac-
tion or negligence fail to perform their
whole duty. The superior officers
shall be required to exact discipline
and enforce their authority and no
requirement shall be exacted except
that of honesty and fidelity. 1t shall
troll this branch of our city govern
ment that no questions of politics will
be allowed TO impair its efficiency or
prevent it's fulfilment of public conf
dence."
Here is solemn promise that mo
requirement will be eXaCted except that
Of honesty and fidelity" Such prom
Use precludes the dismissal of any
policeman on the grounds of politics
where the policeman himself has done
his duty honestly and faithfully. The
mayor has also affirmed in interviews
and open letters that his nominees to
...G select council must stand or fall
on their own merits. We do not
pretend to fathom all the intricacies of
the opposition to Mr.. Walker. AS the
mayors choice II seems to us that he
ought to be confirmed unless sub
stantial reasons can be offered in pub
lie against such a step. But this ques-
tion should have no bearing upon the
retention or dismissal of policemen.
Their place is to do their duty and if
they do 1t that should be enough.

The question whether the United
States government shall exercise SOW
ereignty over the Philippine archi-
pelago is settled. The antrim perial-
lists, in protesting against the mainten-
ance of that sovereignty. are wasting
their energies. The position of Charles
Francis Adams. himself originally a
leader in the opposition to the present
Philippine policy, is absolutely inc9n-
testable; the only practical question
for us now to consider is, What shall
we do as the sovereign power over the
Philippine archipelago" The Ameri-
can people Will not consent to aban-
don a responsibility which they have
once taken up-this. not because they
are greedy of territory, but because
they are unused to retreat. ON the
other hand, they will neither consent
to a war of subjugation nor to a policy
of subjugation after the present war is
over. The present war was necessary
to establish the first principle that
we would not relinquish to the Tagals
the responsibility of a government
which events had placed in our hands,
on the improved assumption that the
Tagals possessed that equanimity
which would enable them to be reason
able and prudent. and do with the
other people of the islands what cir
cumstances might REQUIRE. The ques-
tion of sovereignty settled, it will next
