ton. The rapid progress made toward
majority of the delegates having convinc-
ell the Taft people that the denomination
is no longer in doubt, plans have been
started for unifying the republican party
and storing the ammunition that will be
used upon the democrats.
There was a most confident feeling at
the White House and all the way through
the Taft lines today that sufficient har
insure the reelection of the President in
November. 1t is the prevailing belief
that the struggle for the denomination
will have been settled so long ahead of
the Chicago convention that republicans
everywhere will have ceased fighting and
will have adjusted themselves to the bat
tie with the democrats with Taft as the
leader. The talk of a bolt does not
meet with any favor at the White House.
The i'll feeling that exists now will
be wiped away with the absolute GER
tainty that Taft is TO be the nominee, and
that the only course for a good republ
can is to fall in line for him. 1t is not
thought that the bitterness of the mo-
ment will last long after the June con-
vention. The President himself believes
that he will have back of him a solid
party. without detection. that will assure
him another term i'm the White House.

Indians as Bank Depositors.
The policy of the administration toward
Indians who desire to withdraw their de-
posts in banks is outlined In q letter
written by Secretary Fisher and approved
by President Taft. Richard c. Adams,
great sachem of the Brotherhood of North
American Indians. with headquarters in
Washington, wrote President Taft let
ter requesting that the Indians be per-
mitted to withdraw % per cent of their
individual funds in banks. the purpose
being to get their lands in condition for
spring crops and to purchase implements
and supplies. By request of the Presi-
dent, Secretary Fisher has answered the
request Of Mr.. Adams as follows:
Under the present method of handling
individual funds the Indians are given
every opportunity possible to demonstrate
their ability to handle their money. II
the superintendent of an agency thinks
that the applicant has the requisite bust
ness ability to judiciously handle his
funds. without restriction, the funds, in
whole or in part, deposited to his credit
will be turned over to him. However,
from past experience it is known that the
issuance of an order allowing all Indians
to withdraw large amounts of their in
dividual funds would not best subserve
the interests of by far the larger number
of Indians who are ciaSsed as fncom-
petents' and who do not have sufficient
business judgment to manage their af-
fairs. Purchases for this class of Indians
should be made under governmental su-
pervison as heretofore 1t is the policy
of the department to give to every Indian
who actually desires to farm every OPP
portunity to use his funds in making nee
essary preparation"
