Conditions IN the financial district
have not been better in years. For
this reason the confidence in the mer-
camille and general business world in
the outlook for expanding business is
growing and the substantial banking
interests are not looking forward to
any disturbance Of a serious condi-
ton. in the event of the supreme court
decision against the trusts In these
words. a financial expert summed up
conditions the other day. Businesses
OF many sorts have undoubtedly ex-
.perienced a gratifying activity This
statement. however. was made before

unpleasanness" with Mexico Il is
impossible at this time to tell whether
or not the seemingly unending revolu-
tion in Mexico and our governmental

on financial conditions. To be sure.
the stock market has shown a nerv-
Gus tendency since It became known
that President Taft has sent troops
to the border But it has not
been felt that any substantial busi-
ness interests would be affected even
by strenuous Intervention in Mexican

PROGRESS OF TIE INDIAN.

An heroic statute Of an Indian is to
be erected at an early day on some
site overlooking New York harbor The
purpose is to typify and to dignity the
first American. This end is TO be
sought, it is understood. not by repre-
seuting the aborigine. as is too often
the case. mounted and equipped as a
warrior. but rather as a hunter. that
is as one who. ia all the stateliness
Of his native character. is pursuing
the only vocation made possible for
him by circumstances and environ
ment
Sentiment and art have contributed
in no small degree toward the idealiz-
alton Of the Indian in stone, on can
vas and in literature. the effect OF the
sculptor in this Instance. however, will
be TO represent in composite rather
than idealized form the Indian as be
vas when he held this land in undis-
puted possession. and to leave upon
the public mind os-trIs and future gen
erations a truthtat impress Of an his
toric figure that has vanished fro1S

Rev. Charles Aked. John D. Rocke-
feller's pastor, has announced TO his
congregation his probable resignation,
and in so doing he gave expression TO
his disappointment at the failure Of
the church to live up to its possibili-
ties As there was no lack of money
in the ehurch-RoekefeIler himself
could have supplied, without sacrifice,
all the money the pastor could have
used-the explanation must be found
in lack Of inclination. If the pastor is
deeply interested in applied christian
ity he cannot be blamed for desiring
to escape from the pestilential moral
atmosphere which surrounds the oil
magnate The only criticism is that
he did not anticipate this very condi-
ton II he will re-read Christ's explain
