PRODIGIOUS POWER.

If there were anything more needed
to show the prodigious power of the
house Of Morgan, George F. Baker
and their allied banks, the two ex-
hibits recorded by the Pujo commit
tee on Wednesday would provide the
material in fullest measure.
The first was a detailed statement
formulated in Bakers own bank, the
First National showing that that in
stitution had had shares in syndicate
transactions amounting to 81 42S,675.-
900 in the last 10 years. The second
was a list of 13 of the strongest ma
tional banks in the United States,
with their principal stockholders,
proving that a community Of inter
ests' control these banks directly and
many others indirectly.
Now what all this proves is that
the giant grasp Of the Morgan group
Of financiers. a grasp which has in
cluded about all the valuable and
profitable issues of securities of the
past 10 years, comes mainly from the
control of the great national banks
and that Is where the interest and au-
thOrity of congress comes in.
Nobody asserts that these financial
rulers have committed illegal acts in
their rise to power. Morgan is an
honorable man-so are they all hon
orable men, for the most part. But
they have collected unto themselves
more absolute control OF finance than
any group ought TO have. That con-
troll must be disintegrated by new and

A HANDSOME SOLDIER.

Adjutant General Nathan B
Forrest of the United Sons of
Confederate Veterans told at
banquet in Memphis a military
anecdote.
"A handsome young soldier"
he said smiling, ''lay in the last
agony upon battlefield. To
the friend bending over him he
murmured hoarsely:
Tell Caroline my last
thoughts were of her. Say I
died with her portrait pressed
to my lips
He gulped and added: Tell

At least it is well that Rudolph
Spreckles called attention TO the pos
sibilities of danger in the
Warned order, Treasury circular
No. 81 directing that Gus
toms money be deposited in national
banks No one would think for mo-
ment that President Taft would
knowingly countenance any plot to
damage the Wilson administration by
laying a mine timed to bring on FL
nancial blowup after the advent OF
the new government. But Taft has
been badly fooled before and he may
have been hoodwinked in this in
stance. On the surface the treasury
order seems dangerous in that it could
easily work as Spreckles points out
Now that the warning has been given
IT will be astonishing if the present
administration does not take steps to
see that no harm results from Its
move. Otherwise Wilson may have

In the view of the East Oregonian
many good people. among them the
Christian Scientists
q
Department. alarmed over the
proposition of a
national department of health. They
would sacrifice much to save some
thing that is not in danger.
The fear of a medical trust result
ing from the domination of the de-
partment by the allopathic physicians
is what brings forth bitter opposition
from various elements that have
gathered in the League for Medical
Freedom.
But President-elect Wilson has de-
clared that while favoring the depart
ment of health he does not believe in
placing 1t in the hands of any partic-
ular school of medicine. He would
give representation to all the schools
The idea of the department if Wilson
has his way will be for it to work for
the public health, not TO advance any
especial theory Of treatment. That
the president will have his way in the
matter goes without saying because
he will have the appointment of the
cabinet member who heads the new
department II created.
That a department of health cap
ably and fairly conducted could ac-
compIish wonderful good for the
country cannot be questioned. The
government now does such work for
the animal industry and aids almost
every other line of human activity but
does noting for human health. 1t is
