PLACING THE BLAME.

Speaking at the mid-winter meeting and
dinner of the New York Credit Mems association
David X Forgan, president of the National City
Bank Of Chicago, said;
ut is the American country banker that
causes the panic Something happens in New
Y orlf-it always happens in New York because
nothing big enough to matter could happen
anywhere else-and the First National Bank
Of Albany let us say. gets uneasy and says
that while it doesn't want to dlsCommode New
York, it. must withdraw its reserves. Its the
system that's 10 blame
Mr. Forgan is inconsistent. First he lays all
the blame on the American country" bank and
then he Fays it all on the system. The truth of
the matter is that both are to blame and no less
than these the New York banker is to blame.
The First National Bank Of Albany gets uneasy
because it knows that it has grounds for getting
uneasy when something happens in New York"
and the New York banks and their chief custo
mefs-t the stock speculators-are to blame be-
,,ttt,st- -,ift.fr-frrt- something
happened The system is to blame because it
allows the New York banks and the spectators
TO make something happen Sometimes the
First National Banl. of Albany, Buffalo. or
kalamazoo gets uneasy without cause, nut that
also is partly the fault OF the New York banks,
the SPECTATORS and the system for having been
the cause Of jusufable uneasiness in the past.
Sometimes the country" banks, by demanding
high rates Of interest in times of financial stress
and by sending funds needed at home to New
York to get those rates complcate matters and
broaden the scope Of the trouble originally
caused by tho something" that happened" in

CURRENT COMMENT
Thoughts ON the Machine.

Passing over Mr. woodrow Wilson's speech
at the Staunton banquet and ignoring for the
moment the various interpretations put upon
that unlucky utterance by various persons and
newspapers it occurs to us to take a look at
actual facts they exist in Virginia today. If
we really have in this State heartless and un-
scrupulous political machine which rules and
dominates the people, battles their preferences
and substitutes the authority OF the intrenched
few for that of the voting masses where is that
machine located and what some of its re-
cent manifestations?
Certainly, If there is a machine in full work.
ing order it ought to be doing business. 1t is
all very we'll to run to President-Elect Wilson
and poison his mind against the ring and it
is only natural that unfriendly newspapers
should ring the changes in the theme and make
vast nightmares of nothing just as Frankenstein
Contrived his monster out of odds and ends.
but nobody seems to think of asking where
and what the ring is and what have been it's
achievements The anti-Martin papers say that
our senior senator is the head and front of all
this iniquity, that Flood and Swanson are his
right hand instruments and that among them
they control Virginia affairs, suppress the vir-
tuous and the worthy and eXalt the wicked.
But only last year Martin and Swanson sub
mitted their pretensions to the popular prima-
ries-and if the people don't control them
what do can they Control?-and they We're
elected by about $4,000 majority. If this means
anything at all it means that the people are
in accord with the machine that there
isn't machine at all ". a. Jones, Carter
Glass Judge Watson, and A. j. Montague were
chosen for congress at the primaries. Do they
belong to the machine? If not, how does it
happen that the machine triumphs one day and
the people the neAtE ana the IaCts DclnB what
they are how can anyone say with straight
face that there is any machine at all unless get
ting elected makes a machine of the successful
So far as we can see Mr. Glass and Mr..
Jones as much machines Senator Martin
Senator Swanson. They get their nomna-
tons by the same means and with the same
regularity. They not able to prevent
the election OF Martin and Swanson last year,
though no one can say they didn't do their
best, but on the other hand Swanson and Mar
tin were equally unable to prevent the election
this year of Montague and Watson This looks
to very much like a dogfali and proves that
the machine exists only in some minds For our
part we believe that the people rule in Virginia
completely as they can anywhere and that
the machine is It mere chiFgera for malcon-
tents to juggle with and credulous dupes to take
riously.-Staunton News.

COMMENDABIE ACTION.

The determination of the floor committee of
the Richmond Blues TO prevent vulgar and sug-
gestiye dances at their soirees at the armory is
to be commended 1t is difficult to enforce the
regulations despite the fact that 1t would seem
that guests would be willing to respect the
wishes of their hosts in this regard. but the
committee has succeeded in eliminating the most
offensive of the new dances, The remarkable
thing to our mind is that some people, present
on invitation and through courtesy, should abb
solutely refuse to abide by the terms of the in
vitation. They do not seem to be aware of the
fact that ordinary courtesy requires them to
comport themselves in another's house in man
ner consonant with good taste and to forbear to
indulge in actions which their host disap
proves.

TRUE DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

Those protectionists who are fearful lest the
dear people" be compelled to pay higher taxes

Misrepresentation
Is Expensive.

Deception or attempted decep-
ton is wrong. 1t is also foolish.
Attempted deception, deception
that does not deceive, is still
more follish.
Successful business men are
not foolish. They do not attempt
deception. Aside from its being
wrong, they know that it is fool
ish, that it is expensive, that it
will not pay.
That is the reason that adver-
Using is truthful, that it is de-
pendable, that you and other
readers of this paper have con-
fidence in it. That is the reason
that advertising pays.
Even Ananias never paid
money for newspaper space in
which to circulate his assaults
on truth. He was deal of liar,
if his reputation is deserved, but
he wrote no false advertisements.
If that ancient purveyor of ca
nards has . modern successor the
present day exponent of prevari-
cation is not an advertiser
Goods that are advertised per-
sistently must have merit. Ad-
vertising that is continuous must
be truthful. You can protect
yourself by buying advertised
goods of merchants who adver-
tise. There is too much at stake
to deceive.-Holland.
