THE noRLps MONEY SUPPLY.

THE " OhLD'S MONEY SDFPLf.
The financial statistics presented in
the annual report of the comptroller Of
the currency are almost bewildering to
the ordinary person but they will be
pursued with interest by those who
would be informed as to the worlds
money supply. The compilation of these
statistics evidences great care and in
dustry and undoubtedly they can be re-
garded as in the main trustworthy, and
so far as the United States is concerned

The growth of banking in this coun-

Oklahomans who oppose the prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic by federal en-
actment have the merit of standing up
for the right Of local self-government in
the face Of the power Of congress to bar
them from the union. Such insistence
upon states rights, however, is not
usual in territories desiring statehood
but it is nonetheless commendable.

DISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANTS,

The National Civic federation is con-
sidering the subject of immigration and
will hear the opinions of number Of
prominent men on the matter. Mr.. Sar-
gent commissioner general of immi-
grafton, in an address before the fed
Grafton. again urged the expediency of
provision being made for the better dis
tribution OF immigrants. He stated that
of the 1,2O6,4S who entered the coun-
try in the year ending last June about
two-thirds of them went to six states
and of course most Of these to the large
cities of those states.
This is a matter which congress
should give attention to. 1t is the con-
gested condition of the alien population
in the big cities that is mainly respon'
sible for the demand for additional re.
strictions. While the west and the south
have needed the labor which the immi
grants could provide, they have
swarmed to the cities, swelling the
ranks of common labor where more was
not needed, to their own detriment as
well as those with whom they competed
for work. The proposed remedy for this
is to supply information which will en-
able immigrants TO go where labor is il
demand, instead of taking chances II
the cities, and II is not doubted thai
many of them would avail themselves o.
such information. The plan seems en-
tirely practicable and there is reason t.
think would prove most beneficial.

State Superintendent McBrien thinks
he and his appointees should be exempt
from solicitation for contributions TO

ficiaries who have shirked their share
of the party burdens complain because
the exhibit reflects upon them by COM
parison with those who have gladly con-
tributed in their full proportion. The fact
is no one is entitled to commentator
for making public this statement, be-
cause it is nothing more than the law
requires and has been the regular prac-
tice ever since the corrupt practices law
went into effect in 1899. That the list

HARVEST DOLLARS BY
RAISING SUNfLOWERS

JEF'FERSONVILLE. Ind. Oct. g.
SunfiowerS are n profitable crop in this
section. and preparations are now being
made to harvest this seasons yield,
winch VIII amount 10 several hundred
tons Some of the seed is ground into
condition powders for stock, but the
most is made into olive OIL. This oil
IS closer imitation of the real thing
than any substitute yet found.
CottonSeed oil is a rank outsider COM
pared with the humble though valuable
sunfiower
The father of the sunfiower industry is
John Mcdonald. who has made enough
money from il TO retire from farming.
Mr.. Mcdonald went into the business
fifteen years ago.
When his neighbors saw him turn
his farm into a flower garden they
thought he was crazy Mcdonald went
ahead, and when he harvested his
crop he sold the seed for cents
a pound. realizing $50 an acre
The laughing ceased and in the course
of few years nearly every farmer in
Bethlehem township was raising sun
flowers.
Complaining time is sunfiower-plant-
/ ing time, and the two are cultivated
much in the same way. The only enemy
of the sunfiower is the sparrow, and
thousands of the birds are now being
killed and trapped As they are very fat
the farmers are eating them.

West Wants Regulation.

THE way I figure it out is that most
OF the demand for rate legislation is in
the West. The East apparently cares
little about it. but the West Is determin
ed. As most of the new members of tho
House are from the West. there should
be even Il greater majority for President
Rooscvelt's policy than there was last
year
1T is probable that a new measure will
finally go before the House which VIII
differ in some respects from the Esch-
Townsend bill, which passed last ses-
s-:sS==s Experience will probably show de-
fects in that bill which will be remedied
IN the -,ew measure
What is wanted is law that is not
dra site enough TO do the railroads seri-
Gus harm. but which will be effective
enough 10 protect the people. This is the
sort OF bill that Will eventually grow out
OF the elaborate discussion the rate Ques-
ton Will receive.
LAS for the tariff, / think there will
be no change The country Is prosper.
Gus. ant when II comes to show
down | think il will be round that. while
there are number OI Intelligent men
who favor tariff revision, those who be-
lieve there should be no change are
In the majority. This. in my opinion
is particularly true or the Westerners
Il am in favor OF free trade with the
Philippines however, as / see several

Those who have been out there and
have seen how the English and German
merchants are getting all the trade VIII
agree TO this very readily.
