Smash the ''Money Trust"

The extraordinary revelation oi J. Pierpont Morgan's power over twenty-five billion dollars of wealth in this county brings an acute con- sciousness of the need for some re- form of our banking system which will check the enormous concentra- ton of wealth in New York. Gotham is our greatest commercial city and there must always be more wealth there so long as it holds that com manding system.
 That the amount of wealth which is concentrated there is so dispro- portionate to the city's importance in the financial scheme is due to our antiquated banking system, under which stocks and bonds are preferred to commercial paper as a basis of credit and under which the idle funds of country banks flow to Wall Street for speculative uses.
 MT. Morgan regards the enormous powers vested in him as a personal trust, but we observed that he has administered it to his personal pro- fit. He has never been dishonest about it. We can hardly say he has been unpatriotic about it. He has merely taken advantage of the weaknesses of our banking sys- tenn. It is time to reform that sys- tenn so that Moryans will become an imposslbslity.

THE argument, and the main ar gument, against sending money out of town for those things which can be purchased in the town is a very simple and unans werable one, says the Prescott Courier. If everybody in the town did it there would soon be no vestige of that town left on the map. Hence, those who do thus send the money away are doing just that much to wipe the town off the map. The dollar sent away re- turns no more forever. The dollar expended at home is regular vis- itor, calling much oftener than you have any idea of.

What is a Progressive?

Just now the word progressive is being claimed as political trade mark by so many and various group of people that perhaps we ought to pause long enough to find out what it means. First, let us tell what a progressive isn't. He isn't has been from any of the parties who is looking for a new lift toward the crib. He isn't one whose progressive ness is limited to deeds of mouth.
 A progressive, we submit, is a citizen who is not only willing that others should have as fair a chance as he has, but is anxious to do his part toward making that kind of a deal possible.

EIGHTY ELK ON WAY
 TO ARIZONA RANGES

Two car loads of wild elks from the national park in Montana are en route over the Sante Fe to north ern Arizona where they will be placed on the range under govern ment protection. The Denver Post
 as the following about the ship ment:
 Two carloads of wild elk from the national park in Montana were unloaded at the Denver Un- ion stockyards last night and will be shipped out to Winslow, Ariz. this evening. There were eighty elk in the lot, all yearling. The animals are being shipped to Ariz- ona at expense of the state to stock the game preserves.
 The elk were captured by Henry Anderson of Gardner. Mont, and started on their journey to Arizona just week ago in charge of Robt. Downey. Owing to the difficulty of caring for the animals, which have been used to an open range, 1t has been necessary to stop over at least twenty-four hours for every day of travel. They are taking their daily rest at the stockyards in Denver be- fore renewing their trip in their journey in the cattle cars tonight In spite of the difficulty of transporting the wild animals only one of the herd of eighty has succumbed to the hardship of the continued unloading.
 The government is giving wild elk from the national park in Mont ana to all the states which desire them. The sta is required to pay for the expenes of their capture and freight to the destination.
 Already herds of eighty were sent to Pennsylvana, West Virgin ia, Moth Dakota, Washington, Or egon and Californa from Gardner, Mont. Smaller herds have been distributed by the government to about fifteen different points in Montana.
 According to Robert Downey who is caring for the elks on their long journey there is no danger of the animals in Montana. starving from the effects of hard winter. "All the elk in the national park are fat and in the best of condition," he says. "This carload will average between 35Oand 400 pounds apiece. The railroad journey is much hard CT on them than the snows on the range"
 The action of the government in supplying elk for the different states is the result of the recent move mention the preservation of the huge herds which were starving to death each winter.

The old idea that the minute the first

cries than the old undraped homes.
Of particular interest this season
are the cretonnes, ranging IN price from
as low as IS cents and y cents up to
y cents and even ST.
During the height of the quadri-an-
nual spasm, known as Presidential Elec-
ton, there were some very amusing al
legged facts brought to light in regard
to this line of fabrics. It was said that
foreign scrims and cretonnes could be
bought for II cents and IS cents, equal
In quality to American made goods at
5 cents to even 10 cents a yard higher.
All who have seen the foreign scrims
and cretonnes at the stated prices are
unanimous in declaring that if they were

there is a vast range of these lightweight
materials which resist the action of the
sun to q really remarkable extent.
It IS a well known fact that the sun
shining through the glass not only has
a tendency to Jade a fabric but has, in
a modified form, the effect of a burn

Grass rugs, which have been for some
years popular on porches, etc, are now
taking a step up into the bedroom.
The one objection to the rug in the
past has been that the grass was rather
harsh to the tread, but improvements in
the weave have been made during the
past season, using the finer but closer
warp, that have eliminated this objection
and undoubtedly the grass rug viii be
used more largely during the coming
season than ever before.
While we are speaking Of bedrooms
and porches, It is. impossible to over
look the growing popularity of wicker
furniture
A few years ago the stores carried
a little of this with fear and trembling,
but today wicker furniture is a staple

A rug that has constantly been grow

known as a Gobelin fabric from its
close resemblance to the Gobelin tapes
Try, including the raised or embossed
effect of the figures.
These rugs have no pile and are
therefore much cooler in appearance
than the pile fabrics. Moreover, the

pastel effects, are to be found in very

It is also possible to have this style
