Is 10 draw attention TO the develop
ment OF the agricultural resources
OF the West and 10 direct the flow of
immigration to the irrigated lands.
Chicago has seen the necessity of
opening to the minds Of the poor of
that city OF millions hope for some
thing better than they have. With
the possibilities OF the boundless west
held out to them as something within
their reach and grasp, the very poor
are richer for the thought and better
citizens because of the worthy aSpira-
ton klndled within them.
Chicago's leading men have realized
that there must be something more
offered the people OF the slums than
is TO be offered in the heart-crushing
struggle of a great city and the hope
killing congestion of the tenement
districts and to supply that broader
vision and to lift from their lower
classes the oppressiveness of a hope
less contest. the Chicagoans have
pointed to the West and now they have
invited the West TO carry to Chicago
proof that what has been told OF this
magnificent land OF promise is neither
exaggeratIon nor misrepresentation
1t is a good thing for Chicago and
a mighty bis thing for the West.

profusion on all sides
The old veterans. as they reach Os-

this to be the encampment city. so

decorations on the Depot, No one
will regret If a few OF the old boys
are deceived into thinking this is the

foundings. will be pleased over the
mistake.
Our business houses should follow
the example of the railroad officials,
and get busy with their red, white and

The G, a. R committee. entrusted
with the dressing of City Hall in the

FEUO IN WHICH PINCHOT
is RIGHT.

The press OF the country is support
ing Clifford Pinchot I'm his contention
with Secretary OF the Interior Ballin-
ger. The head OF the interior depart
ment insists that the head OF the for
est service must cease to supervise
the cutting of timber on the Indian
reservations or make plans for the
protection of forests from fires on
those lands. The Chicago News, treat
ing on this subject, says;
Mr.. Ballinger is able to cite recent
provision of law to support his view
of the matter This is simply another
indication OF the powerful efforts be-
ing made to break down the policy of
conservation inaugurated by President
Roosevelt The special interests are
not In favor Of the work which Mr.
Pinchot is doing and through their
congressman they will hamper him
wherever they can without arousing
too much public opposition
The time to save the country's ma
tural resources is now. before the
work of spoliation is carried further
Unless President Taft comes to the
aid of Mr.. Pinchot, and his work, and
makes such an Issue OF the matter as
to force both congress and the secre-
tary of the interior to assist In car
rying out the policy of conservation,
the golden opportunity Is likely to be
lost
The Pittsburg Dispatch, speaking in
the same vein, has this
1t is pertinent TO keep 1t in the pub
lie mind that the preservation of the
forests and the protection OF water
power against corporate absorption
are of the utmost Importance The
full magnitude of this may not be full
ly grasped by the people. but it is suf-
ticiently realized TO recognize the duty
of an officer In immediate charge of
these resources TO protest against acts
facilitating their engrossal. and en-
phaslze that protest by resignation, II
1t is unfortunate for Secretary Bal
linger's position in this matter thar
he comes from a state where special
and powerful interests have been ac-
tive In seizing the forest and water
power resources. That is not of IT.
self sufficient reason for charging him
with favor To those interests. But IL
is enough to warrant very close scrut-
iny of acts that may break down the
policy.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK NEVER
BRIGHTER
(Morning EXaminer.)

The country should see an era of
great prosperity with the harvesting
of the bumper crops which are in
sight The financial writers are be-
ginning to predict a business revival
and Henry Clews, in his letter of this
week, says;
The trade outlook is promising. In
terror merchants have been buying on
a conservative basis. and the outlook
is for a good consumptiye demand for
nearly all classes of merchandise.
Building is active, and our railroads
are free purchasers OF materials for
constructive purposes. Adyices con-
cerning wheat and corn continue faV-
orabe, the only discouraging reports
being from the cotton districts, where
continued drouth and heat have caused
further deterioration in the condition
OF cotton. Money continues in good
supply at easy rates, but the west
ward currency movement has already
begun, and both the interior and Can
adian banks are drawing against their
balances in New York II is not gen
orally thought, however, that the crop
demands this season Will cause any
material advance In money rates, west
ern banks being abundantly able II
meet a large part OF anticipated re-
quirements. The condition OF the ma
tional banks appears 10 be exceptional
" strong, According to the last state
ment, the amount of loans issued by
these institutions amounted TO 5000
600 400, the highest on record, and an
increase of $42OO00,000 over a year
ago 1t is also an increase Of $613,-
100000 over the minimum following
the panic. The total of deposits was
S4,S9S. 600 600. or nearly double the
amount of nine years ago These fig
ures show a tremendous growth in
our financial strength
Much money has been In hiding
since the panic of 1907 and the banks
have been keeping in reserve unusual
ly large sums OF money. When con
fidence is completely restored, as It
is about TO be by reason of the big
crops, this money Will so into circula-
tion again and add to the business
revival,
This fall and winter and the ap-
preaching year should be periods of
unprecedented industrial activity.

iowa and Daniel of Virginia.
During the evening a political de-
bate was injected into the proceedings
and regulars and insurgents band
led accusations as to the effect their
course would have upon the political
future OF their party.
Whether the tariff bill. about TO be
enacted said AIr Hale. would be
accepted by the American people as
satisfactory and Will be followed by
prosperity, no one could tell But
whatever the result should be. he was
satisfied that for ten years people
would look with marked impatience
and frown upon any project or plan
or tribunal that would be likely to
disturb conditions.
Replying TO Mr. Newlands. Mr Hale
declared the president would have
nothing TO do with investigating tho
cost of production at home and abroad.
Mr.. Beyeridge then explained that
he had been inclined TO the same view.
but that Mr. Aldrich. having expressed
a different opinion. he would resltate
TO press his tariff commission bin un-
I'll 1t could be known what the fact
would prove 10 be.
The senator Will admit" said Mr.
Beycridge, that the language was re-
assuring to those of us who favored
the tariff commission
TOO much So" replied Mr., Hale.
Mr., Hale then sent TO the desk a
circular letter from the committee of
100 appointed at the national tariff
convention, held in Indianapolis last
spring for the purpose of promoting
tariff commission legislation. 1t an
nounced that S25000 would be re.

Beveridge.
Senator Gamble spoke at length up
on the bill. While objecting 10 some
of its features. he said that as 1t had
met the approval OF the president and
was the work of the majority party in
congress. he would vote for It.
