Stripped Of all externals, the ques-
ton which Messrs. Cummins, Hadley.
Borah and the rest Of those interested
in the recent Chicago conference are
asking Messrs Barnes, Root, Penrose,
Crane, Devine, Stevenson and the
other Old Guard politicians who have
absolute control Of the party ma
chinery is whether or not they are will
ing uow TO confess that they were
wrong in their handling of the Repub-
lcan national convention Of 1912. To
be specific:
Mr.. Root is asked to confess that he

from Massachusetts,.
Messrs. Crane, Penrose, Barnes,
Stevenson and the rest are asked to
confess that they stole two votes from
California, fourteen votes from Wash
ington, six from Arizona, twenty-six

And the whole republican machine,
little and big. is asked to confess that
il stole the nomination of the presi-
dency from the rank and file Of the
party and gave it to Nh. Taft, whom
the party disowned.
How much time, effort and money
have these real republican leaders de-
voted since the preparation Of the
theft at Chicago TO justification, de-
tense, praise and denial of that crime?
How many printed pages have they
emitted in support Of their work /?
How many thousands Of the peoples
dollars have they spent in postal trans

Crop Prospects and Prosperity

While congress is wrestling with and
sweating over the tariff and monetary
reform the farmers and fruit growers Of
the northwest are preparing to harvest
the biggest crop that a bountiful proyi-
dence ever made possible since the
white race supplanted the red man.
From the grain sections, the Big Bend
and Palouse country, comes confrma-
ton strong as proof Of Holy Writ tia,
the wheat yield this year will exceed
any year 10 the past.
From personal observation and re-
liable reports we know that the fruit
crop, embracing every variety. is above
the average, and best Of all, ready
market and a fair price for orchard
products is confidently expected, for
the reason that the fruit yield in less
favored sections Of the country was
damaged by late frosts. The past
week wound up the cherry shipment.
In round numbers this valley shipped
ffty cars, the returns for which we're
highly satisfactory. Apricot shipment
will commence very shortly and the

SPECIAL NOTICE.
The Need of Currency Reform

Tho taken up secondary currency
reformation IS Of more vital importance
to the people Of the United States
than tariff legislation. A stable, elastic
and sound currency cuts larger figure
in the general prosperity Of this coun-
try than any legislation that may come
before the present congress. The pres
ent currency and banking law is
largely the outgowth Of the war Of the
rebellion and has been out Of date for
forty year. II has laid up against its
defects every panic since 1870. It is
claimed by some to be responsible for
the export of our stock Of gold.
Whether these contentious are well
founded it is not our present purpose
to discuss, but the one evil growing
out Of the present banking and cur
rency laws on which there is 10 ground
for dispute is the concentration Of our
stock Of money in two or three centers,
New York, Chicago and Boston. The
panic of 1907 was due no less to its
concentration than an inadequate sup
ply. Its concentration in New York
and Chicago beyond legitimate re-
quirement caused over speculation and
the panic resulted from over specula-
ton. If the new law is 50 framed as
to prevent the concentration Of money
at a few points and 50 that the volume
can be increased and diminished as
the demands Of business may require
it will not only stabilize values but it
will make panics much less likely.
The banking interests are opposed
to the board Of control being made up
entirely Of government officials. In
reply to this one may well ask why
should the bankers be in control Of the
board. The monetary system should
be conducted and managed in the in
terest Of all the people, which includes
the bankers themselves. If in the
control Of the bankers it is open TO the
suspicion Of being conducted and
managed in the interest Of the bankers.
Bankers are no more open to the
charge Of selfshness than any other
class. But since selfishness is one Of
the human frailties where is the sound
objection to putting the control Of our
money matters in the hands of non
partisan board, free from any banking
alliance. The immortal Scotch bard
has well said, when self the wayering
balance shakes It's rarely right ad-
justed."
The currency bill proposed appears
to be sound in the main points, and
having been fully considered By a
special committee Of congress for four
years and better understood By the
general public than ever before there
is no reason why it should not pass at
this session Of congress.

Importers asked for further excep-

feathers of game and pest birds. They
suggested also that the prohibition be

had likewise forbidden the Importation

Representatives of the Association ior

amendments. Edward Howe Forpush

which had been brought against him
for false arrest by persons who had

Most significant OF recent party de-

Gallinser. and with almost unanimous
approval committee of five was APP
pointed TO confer with House leaders
with view to holding joint caucus
as soon as possible to clear away the
party difficulties. 1t was the prevail

with representation from the Senate
as well as the House following the
suggestion from President WILSON
adopted by the Democrats and that
headquarters should be established, a
publicity campaign inaugurated and a
definite campaign policy outlined as
carly as possible.
