velopments in the legislative situation on Capitol
Hill as will indicate whether the Administration is
going to pass its currency bill any currency bill
The crisis is hand and it is all but certain that it
President Wilson is to win and pass currency meas
ure before December l., that fact will be made ap-
parent within the week. For him to succeed will be
of the greatest importance to his Administration. To
fail will mean that this question will 60 over to the
regular session; that the Administrations prestige
will have suffered; that its hold on Congress will
have weakened, and finally, in view of these facts,
that currency will occupy distressingy long period
of the regular session, to the exclusion and embar
rassment of the big program of further achievement
that the President is understood to have awaiting leg
islatve attention.

pend the turn in the whole tide of national affairs,

TAMMANY's BACK TO THE WALL.

Folks who have been there watching politics for
generation, unite in declaring that never since the
expose of the Tweed regime has New York had so
detailed and satisfactory look at the inside Of Tam
many's political machinery as this year. 1t has just
been piling one revelation of nastiness and crmln-
aIy and vndctveness and graft atop of another, un-
Ill nobody could be startled at any revelation that
might cap the climax in the last days.
About all that remains is the possibility that a
convicted and sentenced murderer may yet confess
WHO BOUGHT THE MURDER, and that State
senator and party leader, doing term in the pen
tentiary for taking brbes. may conclude to call the
roll of the bribe-takers.
Tammany has its back to the wall. 1t is not mere
ly that Murphy management of Tammany is fighting
in the last ditch Murphy management is the kind of
management Tammany has TO have to enable it to
live Murphys crime as ramnlany views it, is in
coarseness; getting caught at all in doing the
things that make up the Tammany system.
This is the ONE great chance to destroy Tal1nany.
The city has outgrown that institution. 1t has never
got its grip firmly fixed the outlying boroughs, and
Manhattan borough is not the whole city, politically,
as it once was
The destruction of Tammany on Tuesday would
be the greatest single accomplishment for the
of respectable politics that this country could witness.

GOOD PRESBYTERIAN POLITICS.

There will be no Democratic caucus, to dictate to
the Senate the details of the currency bill as 1t shall
pass the upper body. Why should there be'
The President does not control the Banking and
Currency Committee, and it is possible he will not
control the majority in the Senate.
No difference. After the Senate is done amend
ing it. the measure will 60 to conference, whose
majority of members from both houses will promptly
restore the bill to the form the President wants.
That was predestined when the Currency committees
we're made up. The doctrine of foreordination
stands prominent in the Presidents political as we'll
as RELIGIOUS creed.
The Washington times., 1913-11-02

The week beginning today promises to be mo-
mentous one. Not since the week of election Just
one year ago have so many affairs of great public
concern been crowded into so short space
The first series of really important elections since
the Presidential polling of 1912 will give the first
general indication Of the slant of the national mind
toward the policies and achievements of the Demo-
cratic party. 1t may be said that this week marks the
end of the first probationary period We are TO learn
what the country thinks about what it has seen done
thus far.
In all probability, this week will see develop
Inents in the Mexican situation that will compel a
de6ntve statement TO the world of the program of
this nation in dealing with the crisis there This de-

at all and behind my classes. What should l do about
L:
The Times knows no better answer to that appea
than state this young mans case to the public He
is big, intelligent robust young fellow, with sin
cerity and ambition He needs to find way to carr
$50 a month, and isn't particular how he does it
provided it is honorable.
There are hundreds of students in Washington
who earn all or part of their expenses doing what
ever they find to do They are very apt to be the
most earnest and deserving students. In the OF
this particular young man, The Times is able to give
him the best of recommendations; he wants chance
not charity; and he wants to work for it. His will
ngness to work may be judged from the fact that al
one stage of his academic career he actually held
position in which he worked from s p m to a. m
and carried his studies! 1t was physical mpoBi
bility to do such thing for very long time, OF
course.
There are without doubt scores of opportunities
in this big city for young of this fiber to earn
his way. The Times asks that anybody who may read
this, and who is in position to give such an oppor-
tunity to young man, will communicate the fact to
this Office. If you can't use enough of his time to
justify paying the amount he needs to earn indicate
what you do; many students divide their working
time in order to increase their earnings.
