FRIDAY, JANUARY IA, 1910.
THE PINCHOT MATTER.

More or less of a furore has
been created in political circles
by the dismissal of Chief For
ester Clifford Pinchot, culminat-
ing from the antagonism between
Secretary of the Interior Balm
ger and Mr.. Pinchot.
From standpoint of Republi-
can politics the affair is regarded
unfortunate, in the light that
any disagreement may be to
some extent disrupting.
The Ballinger-Pinchot matter
does not occupy the entire field.
Father Cannon's czarship in Con-
gress has also been challenged
and all effort is being made by
those opposed to break his rule.
All this is soup for the opposi-
tion press. They gloat over it,
dilate upon it, see in it possi-
bility of dissatisfaction which
might possibly defeat the Repub-
lican party in the next Presiden-
tial campaign.
While party dissension has
often brought about defeat in a
state, city or county, it is much
less liable to do it in a nation as
great as this. 1t rather trends
to a leveling of conditions; to
sort of housekeeping, which,
though it may leave certain peo-
pie and certain elements tempo
rarily disgruntled, it mollifies
others and is gradually swal-
lowed up by interest in events of
greater Importance.
Mr.. Pinchot was considered
competent, earnest and capable
in his position of chief forester.
He was popular with many and
unliked by others. He threw
down the gauntlet and invited
what he got. 1t is not impossi-
BILE that Mr.. Ballinger's case may
receive further consideration.
Along the same lines it is likely
that Speaker Cannon's reign is
nearly at an end in Congress. If
not it should be.
This country is too great to
stand for any mans idea that he
is the whole thing, and the fell
low who grows to believe that
he is bigger than the govern
ment has reached a condition of
idiocy or an age of senility in
itself an influence sufficient to
enforce his retirement. The peo-
pie of any party do not elect a
President whose administration
they desire to be dictated.
The INDEPENDENT has nothing
of criticism to offer on the dis
missal of Forester Pinchot, nor
does it believe it will have any
special bearing upon results of
future national campaigns. We

Because of his peculiar interest in and

acceptance of the invitation, inviting the

Mr.. Carnegie is going to contribute so
much that he will figure as the patron of

Reports from over the state today indi-

In Memphis there is reported some

Attracted by a low wall, which in
termittently came from his front porch,
j. p. Clements. Of 9S1 Seaboard avenue,
opened the door to find that some mys-
terious nocturnal visitor had presented
him with a suit case.
Before he started to pick up the suit
case Clements waited another minute
and then he heard the wall again. This
time it appeared to come directly from
the suit case. Surprised. Clements
opened this ordinary, brown leather
suit case and found:
One blue-eyed baby boy Cten days old,
so the police matron says).
One bottle with a rubber tube and
nipple-the bottle bore traces of hav-
ing recently contained milk.
Two hand-embroidereid baby dresses.
Clements first yelled for his wife to
come 10 his assistance and then he
started out on a dead run for the cop
on the beat. Patrolman Harris i'm
mediately went to the residence TO in
vestigate the case.
The dresses and suit case bore no
marks, which might serve TO identify
them-the baby looked to officer Har-
ris just like any other baby of that
age would look.
In fact, after a sleuth-like investiga-
ton the officers only clue turned out
to be the fact that two mysterious car
riages had drawn up In front OF the

BANKERS FAVOR CHANGE
IN THE STYLE OF MONEY
Commend MaCVeagh's Sug-
geStion of Smaller Dimen-
SionS and Fewer Designs

Local bankers who were seen Monday
were generally in favor of the plan Of
Secretary Of the Treasury Macveagh to
systematic the designs of United
States notes and gold and silver certifi-
Gates and reduce the size of paper cur
rency.
Nineteen miscellaneous portraits and
designs appear upon the current issues.
The plan is to reduce them to nine US
ing the portraits of the most noted fig
ures in American history and using the
same portrait on one denomination
throughout. The faces would be put in
the center of the note enabling the hold
er to determine the denomination at
glance.
For instance, a portrait of Washing
ton could denote the 81 bill, and so on
The present size of paper currency is
3.O4 inches wide by 1928 inches long, and
it has been suggested that this dimen-
sion be reduced to 1-2 by 6. Secretary
MacVeagh things this change would
save the government $612.6O3 a year.
1t would require for new plates the
sum Of 100000, but this expenditure,
the department thinks, would be offset
by the saving. No legislation would be
required TO authorize the change but
the department would like to know how
the people regard it.
The secretary points out that the
change in size might cause some incon-
venience in handling, as both dimen-
sions would be in circulation until the
old ones had been retired.
J. K. Ottley, vice president of the
Fourth National bank, favors the
change.
THE expense, of course, would be
the first consideration" said Mr.. Ott-
ley, but if the government could have
over 100000 a year by the change it
would be economy in the long run. ]
think that we undoubtedly have too
many designs. Having fewer portraits
and placing them in the center Of the
bill would aid greatly in the quick iden-
tification of currency, and would be
further safeguard against counterfeit
money.
The only objection would be in the
temporary inconvenience of handling the
two dimensions of money, but that would
be remedied by the retirement of the
old style of currency. No change, as for
that matter, is free from some draw
back"
Mr.. ottley thought the change would
be beneficial also for national bank
notes.
Charles z. Currier president of the
Atlanta National bank, favored better
system.
---"Our money is the prettiest- in the
world" said Mr.. Currier land II looks
good to me as IT is but I think fewer
designs would improve matters. The
Bank of England notes are practically
without design, and are much thinner
than ours. If the government could
approximate that style, l believe 1t
would be better.
And if the government could save on
the change, I think that would be good,
too"

HAS MORSE A PRESS AGENT
FURNISHING INSIDE" DOPE
Latest "Broken Health" Story Under Atlanta Date Line Is
Printed by the New York World and Contains Also Some
Statements Conflicting With What Warden Gave Out Re-
Gently

More and more it looks as il the At
lanta correspondents of certain New
York papers are working the Charles
w Morse story for a good thing,
considering the way dispatches ABOUT
him and his punishment in the Atlanta
federal prison continue to be printed un-
der Atlanta date lines
The latest is column story on the
front page of the New York World last
Sunday, so written as to give the impress
sion that the statement made to The
Journal few days ago by Warden VIII
liam H. Meyer did not contain the whole
truth.
SOME OF THE CONFLICTS.
Morse was not put on bread and water
diet while he was in solitary confinement,
stated Warden Meyer; but the World s
special dispatch says he was. Morse's
refusal to tell where he got SAG was
polite but firm" stated Warden Meyer;
but the Worlds dispatch declares he de-
fed authority and denounced Deputy
Warden Harrison for bounding him
from the day he entered the prison.
Morse's health was not damaged by
his two-day sojourn in a solitary cell,
declared Warden Meyer; but the World g
dispatch says he came out a CHASTITY
sight, looking 10 years older than when
he went in" and adds that, his condition
so aroused the prisoners that it wouldn't
have taken much to start a riot
OFFICIALS CAN'T TALK.
In the absence of Warden Meyer. who
is out of the city for several days, the
story was read to Deputy Warden Har-
rison. 1t Is most likely he would have
had something to say in reply to II, if
he could discuss prison affairs concern
ing an individual prisoner. But he can't.
The same rule binds him that compelled
Warden Meyer to keep silent concerning
Morse until the attorney generals office
gave him special permission to make a
statement.
The paragraph saying that Morse de-
nounced him was read to Deputy Harri-
