poor LO" ASSERTING HIMSELF.

Lo! the poor Indian" is to nave a national
council all his own at Columbus Ohio, next month
prove that he is not disappearing show, rather,
that he is on the threshold of the best period in his
long and interesting career.
This movement to demonstrate that poor Lo'
is making good is under the auspices of the Society
of American Indians, whose leaders include Con-
gressmen teachers farmers, lawyers DOCTORS artists
scientists, politicians. The president, the Rev. DR..
Sherman Coolidge, is fullboded Arapahoe, born in
tepee. One Of the vice presidents, Congressman
Carter of Oklahoma, formerly chief of the
Choctaws. Another prominent member, DR.. Carlos
Montezuma, Chicago physician, belongs to the once
hair raising Apache tribe.
And so it goes down many fascinating page,
marking the Indians march out of the dark ages.
As matter of fact, tine Indian is wide awake to the
Importance of the fact that he is comparatively we'll
to-do and that this is the land of wonderful oppor-
tunities 1t is the chief function of the Society of
American Indians to keep reminding the redskn of
his fortunate position and his chance not only to
hold mis- own against all corners, but to make himself
widely respected and thoroughly useful citizen.
The Indians are 265 900 strong and they can boast
of being worth about So 500 head-no small boast
indeed!
A dramatic point in the Indians destiny this
council will be, no doubt; an object lesson which
Eastern cities would enjoy offsetting the still lively
impressions of the popular councils once held under
the auspices of Buffalo Bill.

MURRAY EMPHATIC

HE WILL RESIGN
Comptroller Declares He Ex-
poets to Finish OFF,
cial Term.

II have no intention of resigning, ana
II 1 live / will finish my term" said
Comptroller of the Currency Lawrence
o. Murray, in reply to a question re-
garding the reported conference OF
Chairman Charles Hilles with President
TAFT to force the Comptroller's resig-
nation because of alleged sympathy for
Colonel Roosevelt.
1T is nothing but an attempt on
the part of some one to play politics
at my expense"
About one year ago the resignation
of the Comptroller was in the hands of
Secretary MacVeagh. The resignation
was not accepted. it being made clear
to Mr.. Murray that the Administration
desired to retain his services.
The Comptroller was appointed by
Colonel Roosevelt when the latter was
President. His term has one year to
run. the Comptroller being appointed for
a definite term, and otherwise holding
a peculiar office in that he reports to
Congress as II he were Cabinet officer.

MONEY AND THE BUSINESS EXPANSION

Money is once more making its autumnal pill.
grimage Westward ito move the crops" Two dec
ades ago used to be Eastern money that loaned
to the West for this service; nowadays it is Western
money that has been loaned to the East for general
financial operations andanat the West recalls during
the crop-moving season.
Whichever way it may be, however, the stress
which is imposed on the money market at this season
always emphasizes the necessity for adaptable
money system. During part of the year there is a
vast addition to the volume of business to be
acted. 1t needs more money. There ought to be
facilities for providing that money Transferring it
from East to West and later transferring it back from
West to East is cumbersome process. 1t causes a
squeeze when it is taken out Of Eastern investments
forces money rates higher and impedes business.
Later when it flows back Eastward after havin done
its work in the West it tends to inspire speculation,
booms, and excesses.
Elasticity in the currency supply, that would per-
NIT the actual volume Of money to be adjusted to
the demands, is the ideal solution. 1t is unlikely
that the coming will impress this fact most
vigorously for the reason that there is an accumua-
ton of highly legitimate demands, all of them un-
usually heavy, for money. Business everywhere and
in all lines is expanding; prices are high; and the
crop to be moved is record-breaking That means, in
short, unprecedented needs for cash. 1t means an
unexampled demonstration of the impossbility OF
putting big, growing country in monetary strait
jacket and then expecting it to grow safely and

CAN BE NO COMPROMISE.

The New York World, editoriay demanding that
the Democratic national organization step into New
York and wrest control from Murphy, says:
There can be no compromise between the Wood
row Wilson kind Of Democracy and the Charles F.
Murphy kind Of Democracy. There is no common
ground on which they can meet. Murphy has no
more place in a Democratic party led by Governor
Wilson than Barnes or Penrose or Lorimer would
have. He cannot be- e>prevented from supporting the
ticket or voting the Ticket but ne can be prevented
from beating the ticket in the State that has more
electoral votes and power in the Electoral Col
lege than any other"
The World is partly right, partly wrong. II, is
correct that there can be no compromise between
the Woodrow Wilson kind Of Democracy and the
Charles F. Murphy kind of Democracy" That is
true; there can be no such compromise; yet there
MUST BE JUST THAT KIND OF A COMPROMISE
in many States if Wilson is to win.
That compromise must be made in New York.
in Indiana, in Illinois, in Massachusetts, in Pennsy-
vania If Wilson shall carry any Of those States
Governor Wilson, warned by the rising tide Of
sentiment for the honest Embossed Progressive party
which in New York is asking support for Roosevelt
and for Straus, was compelled to make a belated
declaration against attempt to perpetuate the
promise between the Wilson and the Murphy kinds
Of Democracy. For almost two months-from the
day of his nomination down to September IL, at
Syracuse-Mr. Wilson DID try to preserve just that
compromise. He kept out ofsNew York politics. No.
body appealed more earnestly to him to get into it,
than did the World; but he would not He moved
only when he was forced to realize that not to do so
would leave him deserted by all the better element
of his party, standing as the candidate Of Murphy
and Tammany.
The World is wrong however, when it says that
Murphy "can be prevented from beating the ticket"
in New York.
Murphy cannot be prevented from beating the
ticket He has the power to do just that. Four years
ago, with Murphy traitor to Bryan, Taft actually
carried New York city by $4,000. If the World
doubts that Murphy and his machine did that then let
it commune with Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan is the man
who was hit, and he knows what hit him.
The World is right in demanding that Murphy be
smashed 1t ought to be done for the good of New
York and for the good of the country. 1t is going
to be done; but it will be done, not by the Wilson
element Of Democracy, which postponed the doing
until it too late, but by the Progressive party,
which set out to destroy bossism within the Repub-
lcan party and has been Unanswered into tine fortu-

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EXHIBIT

Of the commodities most often dealt in both in Amer

absence.
