Overlooking Birmingham

Strong advocates of Cincinnati Louis vile and other cities, who were left out are protesting. Great suprise Is expressed along all as to the division of the south ern territory. While it is admitted that Richmond got a bank on the merits of her very creditable showing, there Is much wonder that Atlanta should have been chosen over Birmingham. "The fu- ture should have been taken into consid- eration in selecting the centers for these banks" said a senator today. Birming- ham is destined to be the greatest city in the south, everyone admits this who visits that section, and she should have had one of these banks.
 There is general and widespread de- mand for reconsideration of the board s decision, which, everyone thought, would blow over in few days, but which now really appears to be gaining in volume.
 Secretary Houston comes in for his part of criticism because his home state, Mis- soui got two banks. Senator Burton, though from Ohio, declares that it is im- possible for trade to turn westward from Pittsburg to Cleveland, and Senator Hitch cock points out that Omaha is included in the Kansas City district instead of the Chicago district, and that trade did not blow that way
 It Is admitted that the federal reserve board is sure to find storm of protest breaking over it the moment that body gets it's commission, but there are few that entertain the hope that there will be any change in the locations as selected by the organization committee. The Presi- dent has indicated that there would be no change, though he admits that It is within the power of the federal reserve board to make changes if they see fit It must be taken into consideration that Secretary McAdoo and John Sketon Will 1tn.. x,,,tx lIa, .~f sl. both be members of the federal reserve board, as they were members of the or ganization committee and they are likely to exert enough influence with the new body to make the selections of the organ ization committee stand.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Burglary at GiIder's.

T1HE entrance of the butler
brought the inspectors thoughts
back to the matter in hand.

He f1dgeted from place to place, his

shadow that threatened to blight the

a sense of relief he put out the lights
and went to his chamber. s.

for vengeance on. himself. And .inte
his thoughts now crept a doubt, one
that alarmed his sense of justice. A
horrible suspicion that he had misjudg-
ed Mary Turner crept into his brain
and would not out. He fought It with
all the strength Of him, and that was
much, but ever it abode there.
Mary Turner herself, too, was In. q
condition utterly wretched, and for the
same cause-Dick Glider. That source
Of the fathers suffering: was hers az
well. She had won her ambition Of
years-revenge on the man who, had
sent her to prison. And now the Joy
Of it was a torture, for the puppet Of
her plans. the, son, had suddenly be-
come the chief thing in her life.
She had taken it for granted that he
would leave her after he came 70 know
that her marriage to him was only a
device to bring shame on his father.
Instead he loved her. That fact SEEM
ed the secret-of her distress. He loved
her. More, he dared believe. and to
assert boldly. that she loved him. Had
he acted otherwise the matter would
have been simple enough But he
loved. hen-loved her still. though he
knew the shame that had clouded her
life. knew the motive that had led her
to accept him as husband. More-by
a: sublime audacity he declared that
she loved him. -
There came a thrill in her heart each
time she thought Of that-that she
loved him. The idea was monstrous.
Of course. and yet Here, as always,
she broke of, q hot flush blazing in her
cheeks. =..
Mary Turner was just ready for bed
when a note came BY messenger who
waited for no answer, as he told the
yawning maid. AS Mary read the
roughly scrawled. message, she was
caught IN The grip Of terror. The man
who had saved her from death had
yielded to temptation As he. had
saved her so she must save him. She
hurried into the gown she had just
put of. Then she went to the tele-
phone book and searched for the num-
Der Of elders house.

TO FIX AREA OF LID
Conference of Lane, Sells and Special
Agents to Be Held This Week
On Indian Question.

/ Washington, Oct. 25.-At a confer.
ence to be held at the Indian office
next week plans will be perfected for
the enforcement of "dry" laws in the
indian country in Minnesota, covered
by the treaty of 1856. The extent of
the region in which the laws will be
enforced will be determined by Indian
Commissioner Sells after a conference
with his superior officer, Secretary of
the Interior Lane.
Mr.. Sells is now in the West. He
has been informed of the denial by
the Supreme Court of the application
for rehearing of the Bemidii LIQUOR
case, and will return to Washington
next week to act in the matter. Of
ficials of the bureau in the field,
among them Harry A. Larson, who
are engaged in the work of suppress
ing the liquor traffic among the In
dams, have been asked to come to
washington to confer with secretary
Lane and Commissioner Sells.
1t is the understanding that no at
tempt will be made to prevent the
sale of liquor in territory occupied
solely by whites. The government will
depend upon state and local officials
y enforce the laws against the sale
IT liquor to the Indians, and maintain
n adequate force to prevent the
smuggling of liquor into the reserva-
ions.
The decision of the Supreme Court
folding that the prohibitory provision
# the treaty of 1855 is operative will
20 into effect November II. On that
late the Supreme Court mandate will
20 to the lower court in Minnesota.

This statement reads very much
like one of Lindbergh's own self lau-
dations. If Brer Scheers and the con-
gresham are the "whole country" it
is probably true that Lindbergh has
forced the alleged money octopus in
to hiding and they are eating out of
his hand.
The Herald stands on the fact that
the record of accomplishment pub
lished and circulated throughout the
district is complete record of Mr..
Lindbergh's services. If not, why
hasn't the Reconsideration named
something specific he has accomplish
ed for the district, state or union, or

THE RooRBAcH.

The most despicable creation in pol
itics is the campaign roorbach.
1t is never used by honorable men il
politics. But when friends of some of
fice-holder see their pet knocked of
his lofty pedestal and his job slipping
away, the roorbach is often re-
sorted to, and false and malicious
statements are put in circulation fol
the sole purpose of besmirching the
chances and character of the man OPP
posed to him.
The circulation Of roorbach is in
itself an admission that the candidate
who is supposed to be benefited is in
a precarious condition politically.
Reliable report reaches the Herald
that this method of attack is being
made on DR.. ]. A. Dubois in some por-
lions of the district. One attacks his
religion, and in still another he is
credited with making the statement
in speech at Bemidji recently, that
"the Germans will lose the present
war and it will set them back 500
years."
In the first place DR.. Dubois has
entirely too much sense to make fool
statement of that character either in |
public or private.
He is high-minded, patriotic cit
izen, and strong supporter of Presi-
dent Wilson and his policies relative
to his handling of the delicate stu
alton in Europe, and like all other
good citizens, while he regrets the war
he is not taking any part in the con-
flict.
The Herald has not Intercepted the
Doctor but the allegations are UNI
qualifdely false, and were put in cir
culation by some low brow in des-
perate hope that the political hide Of
the present congressman may be !
saved. ,
The roorbach and the coward go
hand in hand. A. M. w.
