Senator BristOw Claims Currency Com

lips Suggestion.

WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-Troublt
over the currency bill is ahead if Sen
ator Bristow knows what he is talk
ing about. A struggle is promised be-
tween partizans of the regional bank
ing system provided for in the Glass
Owen bill and supporters of the central
banking plan proposed by former
comptroller of the currency Frank
Vanderlip.
President Wilson has notified the
members of the senate currency COM

any circumstances substitution of
the central for the regional plan.
Commenting on the president noti-

that the senate committee would base
its report next month on Vanderlip's
suggestion. He denied that it was
a slight variation of the Aid
rich scheme.

ALL INTEREST CENTERS
ON SATURDAYS GAMES
IDAHO AT EUGENE MAY TAKE THE MEASURE
OF THE OREGON HUSKIES.
IDAHO TEAM WEAKENED
Uncertain Yet Whether Lockhart Will Be in the
Game A. c. Washington
Game at Seattle

That the Idaho eleven is facing the
biggest fight of it's schedule on the
Oregon field tomorrow afternoon is
conceded by football fans all over the
northwest who have been watching
closely the work of the conference
teams this fall. Coach Bender of w.
S. c., however, is the only dopester
who has risked an opinion as to the
outcome of the game on the Eugene
field. Bender figures that the Idaho
team is ging to be trimmed and no
question about it. The other coaches
are more conservative, merely pre-
dieting that Griffiths warriors will
have the fight of their lives but fore
casting that the Oregon team, too,
will have such battle as will be long
remembered at Eugene.
MOlds Championship Dope.
Tomorrow's game will play a large
part in moulding the 1913 champion
ship dope. If Idaho defeats Oregon
she will figure prominently in cham
pionship bets since it is conceded Dy
all that Oregon's team is beyond ques-
tion one of the best in the conference.
The Idaho lineup will include at least
four freshmen who had their first ex-
pelience in college company in last
Fridays game with Washington Stat.

freshmen, one at full and the other at
half. Her entire line will be formed
Of veterans who have had from one
o three years OF seasoning on the
gridiron. Idaho's line will include
hree and possibly four men who have
,een under college fire but once in
heir lives. A number of Oregon's
nen have been shifted this fall from
heir regular positions but their for
ner experience will still place them
t a big advantage over freshmen
Idaho Slightly Crippled.
There is a question whether the Ida
% eleven will enter tomorrow's game
n as good condition as it was when
defeated w. S. c. last week. With
'urdy unable to carry the ball at all.
even able to enter the game, Idaho
ill be far less strong at quarter
han she was last week. If Lockhart
ails to make connections with the
cam the Idaho backfield also will be
realty weakened Even if the shifty
alfback enters the battle he will in
IL probability lack the agressiveness
lat characterized him as one of the
ldividual stars in the IdahoW. S. c
ontest, since he has missed an entire
eek's work with the team.
Much Depends on Johnson.

The laws delay and how to re
form it, is a question that is cal
ling for attention. but the ac
complishment of any reform in
this direction seems to be hard
er to reach than reform in oul
tariff or currency laws. Even
lawyers would like to see some
of the dead wood trimmed from
the legal code, butt it must not be
forgotten that this code is the
work of lawyers. The legal pro
fession is a business and those
who engage in it have shaped the
operation of the legal machinery
to the advantage Of the profes
sion-to make business, just as
the banker has shaped currency
legislation or the manufacturer
the tariff laws, each to his own
interest. Can the legal machine
ry be speeded up by leaving il
for lawyers to do. And if the
lawyers may not Or will not do it
who else is there competent tc
undertake the work? The prob
lem bids fair to be with us fol

in the race for the Democratic
nomination for Congress in this
district, opposing Congressman
Hensley. DR.. Wolff is the pres

notoriety through the passage of
his bill by the Legislature last
winter including the operatives
of glass factories in the eight
hour labor law There is little
likelihood that the DR.. will beat
Mr.. Hensley for the nomination
however. The latter is building
