A Id rich taw is tho suggestion of A. L,
Mills, presidout of the .First National
bank'. Ho-' believes that tho latitude, al
lowed national hanks to form such an
organization and take advantage of
the opportunity to issuo emergoncy cur
rency whenever necessary should not be
overlooked, for he believes it is best to
ho prepared for any contingency
"Now' 'that thep rivilego is given
national banks to issue emergency cur
rency, whenever such action is needed,"
said 'Mr.- Mills today, "I havo no reason
to think that the need will ever arise,
but as a watt or of precaution, 1 think
steps should bo taken to safeguard the
depositors. The prevention is better
than cure- any time.
"Had we had such au organization
when;, the financial stringency struck
us last fall, it would have been a great
help, and emergency currency could
have been issued much more conveni
ently than by tho plant that was fob
, lowed."

take the view that il is worse than nso-

" Eastern buyers are not interested
and if we should quote prices now we
would have difficulty in raising them
later, while the jobbers would expect
us to lower them," said H. S. Oile to
day. "The crop in the northwest is
hort, amounting to about one-third,
or at the outside one half of last year's
.-rop. The situation is, therefore, favor
able so far as prices are concerned. Of
course, so long as we nre not selling
we cannot buy, and then' is no con

But the "allies" are licked und uo

That the "allioa" have something up

their n ctions ami their ocutiniious con

think it will he of any permanent ef

It is certain that u fight will bo made

unnoticed. It wus the first titno
many years his arrival at a national

leading to the offices of decretory Tuft

It was rumored just as the convention
opened that .Senator Horuli of Idaho

Roosevelt for a "second elective

asked to nominate Roosevelt," said

The Taft people have decided that
