to the country its national poet. con-
tribution not inferior in value to all tho
rest, for who shall measure the infiu-
ence upon the destiny Of nation. whose
poets have reached and captured the
hearts Of the people.
A recent writer justly remarks that a
nations generation for poet is not
measured by the height to which he may
scar, no more than our admiration Tor a
mountain is measured by its height.
What matters 1t to Scotland that Mount
Blanc rises far higher than its own Ben
Lomond whose clustering associations
and memories erdear it To the people as
the grandest mountain on earth? What
matters It to Scotland that other poets
have risen to greater heights than its
own Robert Burns. whose songs have
thrilled and Strengthened the love of his
countrymen for him through four geaer-
atoms Of increasing devotion?
Longfellow in spite of much adverse
opinion is rising to his place as our ma
tional poet, not by reason Of any ex-
ceptional greatness like that Of Shakes
pearc. Milton or Tennyson, but by rea-
SON of similar powers and by the Same
process tina. has secured to the Scottish
poet his place in the hearts of the peo-
pie.
Longfellow expresses his choice OF

much Of his verse clear as crystal. No
need OF n glossary of big dictionary when
reading his poetry.
1t is the simple and heartfelt lays that

INDIANS AND NEGROES IN
OFFICE.

There have been many Indians
who have held highly important civil
and military positions, and an even
greater number of Negroes who have
served creditably in similar capaci-
ties. Perhaps one Of the most con-
spicuous of these among American
Indians was the famous Tecumseh.
He was born in 1868 and killed al
the Battle of the Thames in 1918.
Although a Shawnee, he took sides
with the British and become a brig
adler general in command of mixed
British-Indian force of two thousand
or more.
Another Indian general who won
for himself name for bravery and
shrewdness was Chief Waite of the
Cherokee nation. There was a slight
strain Of white blood in the veins

position Of register of the treasury
was Judson W. Lyons, who was ap-
pointed by President Mckinley.
Prominent among members Of his
race to serve in congress was Jo-
seph H. Rainey, Of South Carolina.
He served for ten years, and was
considered one of the most infuen-
tial Of the representatives of his
time. Jefferson Long, the only negro
whom Georgia ever sent to congress,
was a remarkably intellectual and
brilliant man, as was Robert Brown
Elliot, Of South Carolina. Elliot was
graduated from Eton college, Eng
land, and was a member of the
forty-second and forty-third con-
crosses from South Carolina. In 1879
at the Chicago Republican conven-
ton he nominated John Sherman for
president, and when Sherman was
afterward secretary Of the treasury
he made Elliot special agent of that
department at Charleston, S. c.

suavity and courtliness of manner
which, coupled with his read y mental
equipment, would have made him an
ideal diplomat, and it seems strange
that his ambition never led hlm into
that character Of pubic service. lie
could, no doubt, ii he had desil ed,
have had high diplomatic appoint
ments under President Cleveland, but
to be an American Ambassador now
requires a large private fortune, OF
wnlcu the Distinguished Alabaman was
never possessed. After thirty years
in the United States senate, which
is often called "the milhonan es
club" it is to his credit that he died
a poor man.
1t was Senator Morgan S strong
and persistent advocacy OF the Mica
ragua canal for which his career III
the senate will be most remembered.
The project Of an isthmian canal to
be constructed by the federal gov
ernment owes much to the untirIng
energy with which he advocated it.
lie was so strong a partisan OF the
Nicaragua route that he submitted
with poor grace to the choice that
was finally made, but in the agita-
ton of the canal project he was the
most untlrlng Of leaders and the canal
when finished will be a monument to
his energy, though it was not cen
structed over the route he preferred.
His advocacy Of the canal showed
Senator Morgan S breadth of mind.
He gave his chief attention to this
practical matter for the advancement
OF the nation and especially Of the
south, at time when most southern
senators were absorbed with sectional
politics. His breadth and independence
of thought were further exhibited
IN his support Of the policy Of terri
torial extension in the Pacific when
it was opposed by the majority of
his party. He favored the annexa-
tion of Hawaii in opposition to Pres
ident Cleveland, and stood for
United States control in the Philip
pines despite the "anti-imperalist"
pronouncements of the democratic
platforms in three successive presi-
dental campaigns.
In the passing of John Tyler Nor
gan another link that bound the old
and the new south has been broken.
He was one Of the last Of great
generation. 1t is most regrettab e
that his death marks another indi-
cation of the decadence in the per-
sonnel Of the south s represent a ion

CURRENCY INITIATION DANGER.

The National City Bank in its
monthl y circular calls attention to GER
tain features of our currency move
ment which, unless corrected, suggest
some disturbing possibil, les for the
financial situation at no distant date.
The circular points out that bank
note issues have risen above $780,
0OO,O0O-the largest volume in the
country's history-and that this ex-
pansion is in progress at a time
when, on account Of diminishing trade
activity, the need for money is de-
creasing.
This anomaly has been realized
more or less generally for some time
past, but the City Bank reveals some
thing entirely unappreciated in it's
statement that bank notes are being
counted, to a growing extent, i'm
properly as a basis OF reserves. 1t
IS partly for this reason and partly
because Of the increase in the supply
OF government bonds available as
security for circulation, owing to the
recent refunding operations, that the
applications for note retirement have
been so disappointingly slow. In other
words, two factors, one old and the
other new, are operating to initiate
the bank paper issue, and the circular
refers to this initiation as one Of the
causes for the present exports Of
gold.
The danger is, of course, entirely
clear. If the initiation Of bank notes
is allowed to go on the cheaper form
OF money will eXpel the dearer; that
is gold expectations, which are not
at present regarded as serious, will
assume dangerous proportions later
on. The recent laws raising f ON
$3,OO0,000 to $9,0O0,OOO the monthly
limit Of note redemption have so far
completely failed to produce the ex-
pected results. 1t is still as true as
1t ever was that our bank circulation
rises and falls not with trade re-
quirements but with the varying sup
ply Of government bonds. Only
much more sweeping and effective
legislation than congress has yet
shown a disposition to enact can
overcome this evil. But, in the mean
time, the practice Of the banks in not
discriminating between bank notes
and lawful money as basis for re-
serve is something that can and
ought to be corrected at once. It is
the plain duty of the national bank
examiners to take action in the mat
ter.-New York Globe.

commanding an Indian brigade OF
two regiments and three batteries.
Originally the Cnerokees were one
OF the nations of the Atlantic coast,
and spoke language similar to that
OF the lroquOis, but were greatly re-
tarded In civilization by being trans
ferred to desolate tract Of country
beyond the Mississippi. Yet despite
their many hardships and the numer-
Gus interventions that have tended
to retard their progress, they are
among the most highly cultured OF
all the American Indians. In 1924
a Cherokee named George Guess in
vented for his people complete al
phabet, and with written language
their literature has had steady
growth peculiarly its own. They also
print newspapers in both Cherokee
and English.
Equally prominent was General
Ely S. Parker, Seneca, who was
born in 1923 and educated a civil
engineer. When the civil war broke
out he enlisted in the Union army,
and became General Grant secre-
tary and an officer of his staff. Later
he was promoted to assistant adju-
tant general, then to brigadier gen
eral, and finally became commission
er of Indian affairs.
Representative Curtis, Of Kansas,
was said to have been quarter
blood Kansa. j. N. b. Hewitt, Of
the bureau Of ethnOlogy, was said
to be part Tuscarora; and DR.. East
man, a noted agency physician and
worker, is three-quarters Sioux.
Mexico furnishes the most con-
spicuous examples of Indians who
nave risen to high official positions.
General HidalgO, who was spoken
OF IN that country as the George
Washington of Mexico, was said to
have been an Indian of full blood.
Then there was President Juarez OF
the same country, who was also an
Indian, and President Diaz, called
the "Maker Of Mexico" is also of
Indian blood.
Since the abolition of slavery in
the United States in 1868, there have
been many negroes who have held
official positions. Two have held the
position of United States senators.
Twenty-Five have been representa-
tives, two have been registers Of
the treasury, and several have been
lieutenant governors of States. About
twenty have been foreign ministers
or consuls. Several have been Of
fcers in the army, and six have
been recorders of deeds.
The first negro to fill the 20 i
ton Of United States senator was
Hiram R. Revells, of Mississippi,
Strangely enough, he was elected to
fill the unexpired term of jefferson
Davis, when the latter resigned to as
sumo the position Of president of the
confederacy. This negro was a grad
