PANIC SPECTRE vANlsHEs.

Whatever else the coming year may
bring forth in the way OF business
changes, practically all the prophets
agree that a money panic is not on the
program.
The Inauguration Of the new federal
reserve system, competent authorities
argue, has eliminated this ominous
spectre from the financial skies. 1t Is
not cure all for commercial ills but
it renders impossible the repetition of
such crises as we had in 1893 and
1907.
The country has been provided with
a currency system that is adapted tt
meeting the varying demands of bus
iness and the danger of breaking down
OF credit has been reduced to a mini
mum. The business community can
therefore move forward with conf
dence
Even if the past year did not bring
all the prosperity desired, it saw this
monumental step toward financial sta
bility taken and that is a kind of pro-
gress of immeasurable value to the
country.

congress had been put to sleep for a
period OF some twenty years. Surely
he knows the quality aId temper OF
the dry leaders better than to suppose
they win let one defeat send them from
the field They are just about as like
ly to let up on congress as the suffs
are to cease their insistent demands
for votes. Commenting on the general
progress of the dry wave, the Wichita
Eagle says:
There Is chance for argument both
ways whether national prohibition is
soon to be a fact But there is little
doubt that national temperance, and
even world wide temperance is gradu-
ally becoming fact
One of the potent reasons why in
temperance is becoming thing of the
past is because the press-the news
paper and magazine and book press
keeps hammering into the public mind
the wastefulness, and the folly Of in
temperance.
The news press is supposed to be a
distributor of new facts, new ideas,
new information, all sorts of mental
novelties, but It is also a repeater
reiterator, ding-donger on old themes
and by this very dingdonging it keeps
a fact in the public mind until the
fact soaks in.
This is one feature Of the printing
press in which the press has an adj
vantage. If the whole public does not
get the idea in day, in a week, a
year or a decade, the press can hold
the idea steadily before the public for
a century.

the selection of timber for the various
appointive places at his disposal with
out regard to the conventions and
ethics. That is to say, none of the
men so far chosen for places under
him were applicants for the jobs. All
were pursuing the even tenor Of their
way, attending to their own business
when he sought them out and asked
them to accept the places at his dis
posal. This is wide departure from
the custom established at the birth of
the republic and religiously adhered
TO through all the intervening years.
1t is SO much of an innovation, in fact,
that the army of place seekers has
been caught off its guard and bids fair
to be run down between bases.-Okla-

THE NEW INDIAN SUPERVISOR.

The appointment ofMr. Gabe Parker
to be superintendent bf the five tribes
will create feeling of general ap-
proval in this country. Mr. Parker is
a man of splendid attainments and
high character He is an Indian, and
understands the needs of his people.
He represents tribe which needs the
most attention Mr.. Parker has not
been in Washington long enough to
be spoiled, and we predict that he will
insist on progress rather than to fol-
low the original governmental practice
OF keeping everything in status quo.
We are wondering just what Mr., Park
er win do, however, when he receives
orders from Washington to follow this
or that line Of conduct which he knows
to be wrong, and which probably orig
mated in the brain of some twelve
hundred dollar clerk who has never
been west of the Allegheny mountains
Wniie lnere mas DeeH WlueSpredu uo-
mand for the appointment of Demo
crat to this position to relieve Mr.. Kel-
sey, everyone admits that Mr.. Kelsey
has been very good officer, and the
reason why more progress has not
been made in the settlement of Indian
affairs is the lack of energy and intel
iigence in Washington, rather than in
Muskogee. We believe that Commis
sioner Sells and Secretary Lane both
want to do the right thing, but they
are only two men out OF several hun
dred. They want to progress, but the
several hundred clerks under them are
daily praying for no change -Musko-
