BUSY MEMS BIBLE CLASS
4 The Busy Mems Bible Class
in connection with the young
mems class has bought a house
and il now occupies its rooms in
this building just west of the
Methodist Church. The class is
growing in attendance and in in
terest to those who attend. This
is getting to be a good class from
more than one standpoint. II
YOU will visit the class you will
find that you are more than in
terested in the proceedings.
The subjects of study are live
issues taken from the Biblical
account of the life of Christ, and
they are all calculated to in
spire the man who will give
them careful study with a duty
that he owes to himself and to
his fellow man. as well as to his
Maker
It is the aim of the class and
all that are connected with it,
that 1t shall continue increasing
in interest and helpfulness to
those who shall attend its
meetings. Last Sundays ses-
sion was especially an interest
ing and profitable one. We
shall look for YOU next Sunday

NIT. hence we will merely state
that they all rendered their
parts in a most creditable
manner, and many have been
the compliments we have beard
of each.
After the program BY the
graduates Rev. Word made a
very splendid address, full of
deep thought for all of US and
splendid advice to the graduates
in this class.
Following was the presenta-
ton of the diplomas by Hon.
Geo. r. Bean, who in a few well
chosen words presented each
with his or her diploma.
Prof. Wester. superintendent
of the school stirred the audience
By a short address in which he
thanked the pupils for their good
work, the parents and patrons
of the school for their co-opera-
ton. the school board and
teachers for their faithful work,
and offered splendid advice TO
those interested in the school.
This closed the school for the
term with the exception of the
commencement sermon. which
was preached the following Sun
Day in the High School auditor
ium by Rev w. NJ. Lane, pastor
of the Methodist church at this
place. Brother Lane seemed at
his best. and delivered one of
the best sermons Of this kind
that has ever been preached in
Lubbock. and il was listened to
with the closest of attention.
The auditorium was well filed.
Notwithstanding a hard wind
was blowing and made it very
disagreeable for people to be
out.
In conclusion we will state
that we believe the term of
school Just closed has been the
best session ever conducted in
Lubbock. and the superintendent
the teachers and the school
board deserve great credit for
their achievements during the
session. II has been a bard pull
in many ways. but all the OBJ
stacles have been overcome and
il is believed now that the Lub-
book High School will go on and
on TO higher attainments and
maintain its place among the
highest in this section of the
state. 1t has enjoyed afiillia-
ton with the leading schools of
the state, and this alone is much
to its credit. Not every school
the size of this has been able to
do such. which goes to show the
efficiency of the work done by
the teachers and pupils of

OF December %, 1910,
II appears what !. pufports to
have been an interview of
Mr.. Aldrich by Mr. BabsoT. Except
in a few particulars, it is substan-
TALLY repetition Of what he Said in
speech#in Indianapolis and in q score
Or moreSof other places sand periodi-
Gals. There are a $fe&g statements,
however, which have. net before
observed, that make "a rift Ia the
cloud Of confusion and through
which there is g4immer of light
worth considering.
Mr. Aldrich realizes that there
will be a widespread fear that his
proposed National Reserve Associa-
ton will be controlled by selfish
interests iniInical to the welfare Of
the government and the people. It
is very important that any such feat
should be allayed, so, after outlining
the proposed organization, he is made
to say:
Il defy any man, however veal
thy he may be, or any association Of
men, ever to get control Of this
organization, with it's three divis-
ions, against the will Of the people
of our country. Moreover, with the
management here outlined what
would any man or group OF men do
with it, even if they controlled the
stock?"
That may sound very conclusive to
the average person who knows little
about the power of combined wealth.
The inference that it is desired
To no 5g.ov
the organization proposed is such
that it would be impossible for it to
be controlled and converted into an
instrument Of oppression and rob-
berry. 1t sounds we'll to say that
such control can not be secured
against the will of the people,
But is this true? If this organiza-
ton should be completed and put
into operation, it would be of inter
est to have pointed out how the peo-
pie could prevent it from being con-
trolled by a combination Of wealth,
domestic and foreign. The people
are not disposed to accept any such
statement from Mr.. Aldrich. His
reputation as public servant is not
such as to justify him in expecting
that they Will. 1t will require some
thing more forGaful than his dog
story tc convince any but the most
thouGhtlesC thai his reserve associa-
ton is above suspicion. The story
does not apply in the way he intends.
The dog would really represent the
people, and the Limited" the
Reserve Association The question:
What would be done with the Linn
tied" if caught? is not expected to
arise.
All talk about impossibilities is
only throwing dust. 1t will be large.
but if it could be handled by one set
Of men for good, why not by another
set for evil? The man who concludes
that it can not be done, or that it will
not be done, has no knowledge of
the present financial conditions and
of the power Of combinations. 1t is
difficult to believe that Mr. Aldrich's
assurances are sincere, or that the
Interior purpose of his association is
not just what is feared.
Mr.. Aldrich was asked about his
proposed Reserve Association"
being a central bank under another
name, and about it being controlled
by Mr.. Morgan or some other man.
to which he answered:
"This is not a Central Bank. The
central banks of Europe are COM
petitors Of other banks. In France,
Germany, and England the central
banks have assumed great func-
tiOOe Thnu taxa cara Of tho han lie

-
culous as an attempt to deceive.
After quoting the above as coming
from Mr.. Aldrich, Mr.. Babson pro-
ceeds to say:
'|Thereupon he explained his plan
for local organizations or banks, and
pointed out that in these local asso-
Citations t1free-ffths of the directors
would be selected by the banks voting
as units, without regard to the size
Of the banks. He said this plan
would give the smaller banks the
advantage. The large banks might
choose Of the CONTROL
To rest any hope on the unit vote
is little short of nonsense. 1t is
even questionable whether this unit
vote, urged as evidence of extreme
fairness, does not furnish the very
opportunity that would be desired
by combination desiring to control
the Reserve Association and
enable them to do it with less money
than they could do except for the
rule
There is a particular significance
in the admission which Mr.. Babson
got from Mr. AIdrich
''EFre admitted" says Mr. Babson,
that, if some 'enterprising gentle
man desired to do so, he might
invest enough to control fifty per
cent. of twenty-five thousand banks
Of the country, and so control the big
Association
1t is we'll to think about this ad-
mission, and the manifest exagger-
alton coupled with it. The assump-
ton that it would require the con-
troll Of fifty per cent. Of twenty-five
thousand banks justifes the suspi-
cion that Mr.. Aldrich was not igno-
rant Of the danger, and that he was
trying to cover it up by making
such an undertaking so large that it
would not probably be attempted.
Mr.. Aldrich is not such fool as
not to know that there would not
be twenty-five thousand banks in
the Association. The membership
would not, in all probability, be so
great as to require the control of
even half so many banks. The
entire aggregate of National Banks
is less than $500. It is not likely
that all of them would become
members; some would stay out
from choice, and some could not get
in. How many other banks would
become members can not be pre-
dicted. The entire capital stock
and surplus of all National Banks
is less than 1,750 millions. 1t can
be safely predicted that, at no time
within two Or three years after the
National Reserve Association was
organized, would it require more
than 800 millions to control the big
Association in the way Mr.. Aldrich's
"enterpising gentleman" would
turn out to be a huge cOmbina-
ton. 1t is altogether likely that,
by the aid of the unit vote SO much
Wanted, a much smaller amount
would be sufficient If there was not
money enough in New York, London
would furnish it, Could it not be
done? Of course, it could. Would
it not be done? Of course, it
would. We would be under the
control, not only of American, but
European financiers as certain as
fate.
Here again ] would like to repeat
the inquiry which | have been max
ing for several years, but without
answer: How much Of our national
bank stock is now held by alien
fnanciers? Congress ought to see
to it that, in some way, this Ques-
tion is answered. 1t might disclose
something that would throw q food
of light upon the subject, and upon
