President Ban johnson PeeVed at
Dismissal of Jake StahI.

Ban Johnson, president of the
American League, has come to bat
with hot criticism of President Nc
Aleer of the Boston Red Sox for the
manner in which Jake StahI was
fired as manager of the worlds cham
pions.
Ban deeply regrets that Mr.. Nc
Aleer acted so hastily" and declares
''there was no reason for relieving
Stahl of the Boston management at
this time" The league head also says
it was unjust to humiliate Jake in his
home town.
Johnson lays great stress on the
fact that StahI won the worlds
championship last fall, and was enti-
tied to great consideration from the
Boston club and the American
League.
1t might not be a bad plan for Ban
to let the Boston owners run their
team as they see fit. Since being pro-
vided with a twenty-year job at $685.
900 per annUm Johnson has not only
been president of the league, but has
also attempted to butt in on many of
the clubs and their private affairs.
His most recent bull, rapping Joe
Birmingham of Cleveland as a man
unfit to manage a club in the Amer
lean League, did not make much of
a hit with the fans. Birmingham has
his team going along well and is an
idol in Cleveland. JomsOn's utter
ance came after an almost open war
between the Cleveland and Boston
players. AS far as can be learned,
the Red Sox were mainly to blame,
but Stahl was never censUred by the
American League car.
AS a matter of fact, StahI was not
a wonder as manager of the Red Sox.
Last year his team was not upset by
accidents, the batters ClOUted and the
pitchers were effective. In the worlds
series McGraw, with weaker team,
almost won because he Outguessed

Reb Russell, dandy southpaw of
the White Sox, has at last succeeded
in trimming the Athletics, and it only
took him an inning and a third to
turn a trick that had baffled him for
Is frames.
In two previous games Reb held
the Mackmen to three hits per bat
tie, but lost both times, principally.
because his hackers were shut out
by the alien pitchers.
Yesterday in the second game of
the doUble-header Reb took Lange's
place on the mound with two on and
two out in the eighth. Red promptly
laid Eddie Collins away for the third
out. The score was the to 2
against the SOX.
A wide throw by Barry, pass, two
outs and single by Weaver put over
the tieing run and left a pair of Socks
on the path. Red strobe to the plate
and maced one of Chief Bender's In

ing in the Commoner of February 49, 1870 under the
caption, "The Liquor Question in Nebraska"
1.-The right of the government to regulate the sale
of liquor be questioned and the right to regu-
late includes the right to prohibit the open saloon
Some deny the right of the government to close the
saloon; others insist that the government has no
moral right to license the sale of liquor but with
large majority it is matter to be decided by cond-
TONS The people, acting through the instrumentalty
of government, have, for their OWL protection, the
right determine the conditions under which liquor
shall be sold in any community county state, and
it follows that the people of the nation have right
act upon the question whenever they in their WISDOM
think it proper to do so, for whatever constitutional
objections may be urged to any proposed legislation
it must be remembered that constitutions are in the
hands of the people, and be altered whenever the
people see fit to alter them.
Be Fair to the Taxpayer.
"* The county is the unit for the enforcement
of the law and liquor drinking increases crime, it
is only fair that the people who pay the taxes should
have voice in determining the system to be employed
for regulating the sale of liquor.
cat the international congress held in London in
July, 1909, in which twenty-five nations repre-
sented, Lord Alverstone chief justice of England
stated that 90 per cent of the crime passing under his
observation traceable to drink; and Judge Pol
lard, of of the public Of St. Louis, and
Colonel McEIardy, of Edinburgh, Scotland put the
proportion at eighty-ve per cent in their respective
communities. Have the people who suffer from the
crimes committed, and who bear the burden of prose-
cutting the criminals, right to be heard when the
matter of regulation is under consideration?
ITO favor county option it is not necessary that one
shall favor prohibition in his any other county
Ones devotion to popular government ought not to
depend upon his approval of any particular policy of
government. Democrats for instance, will not lose
interest in free institutions merely because the Re-
publicans obtain control of the government The
people have right to govern themselves and their
right does not depend upon HOW they exercise that
right.
mo one doubts the town cty's right to act upon
the liquor question: the right of the precinct the
right of the state. Why question the right of the
county?

act of the county suspends the right of the precinct

authority
A Confession of Weakness
1T is also objected that county option is only step
toward state Prohibition This would not he a valid
objection, if the fact admitted If the peone
OF state have right to prohibit the sale of LIQUOR
over the entire state they have right to authorize the
counties to prohibit within their borders If the conn
ties can justly claim the right to regulate the liquor
traffic. in the absence of state Prohibition it is not
just to deny them this right merely out of fear that
the exercise of the right may lead to the adoption of
state Prohibition. man must be very anxious to
continue the open saloon to deny to the people of
county the right to act the subject merely because
he is afraid that the exercise of that right may lead the
people OF the state to ask for state Prohibition And
it may be added it looks like confession of weakness
on the part Of the liquor interests If as they contend
Prohibition is failure the attempt to enforce Prohbi
ton by counties ought to make that fact apparent and
thus lessen the chance of state Prohibition And then
too the liquor dealers ought to recognize that they
can not logically oppose Prohibition if they OBJ
pose county option If those interested in the sale of
liquor insist that liquor should be sold in county
although majority of the voters of the county object
to it, how can they complain if their own logic is
turned against them and the people of the state insist
that no liquor shall be sold in any county, even when
majority OF the people of the county ask for it?
A Struggle With Great Corporations
** Whenever community attempts to deal with
the saloon question: instead of having deal with one
of its citizens it finds itself in struggle with
great corporations which operate over large area
and have pecuniary interest in cultivatng the appe
te for drink; instead of settling the question by con-
sultng its voters it must engage in a war with
foreign power
"The saloon-not every one, but rule-is in
alliance with vice It is constantly urged to debauch
politics, and to prevent the intelligent consideration of
public questions. The liquor interests interfere in all
matters that may remotely affect their interests
THE Democratic party not afford to act the
mouhpiece of the liquor interests 1t have moth
ing in common with the selfish, mercenary and
scienceless crusade that the liquor interests have
ganzed against the home and the state-aganst pri-
vate virtue and public morals"

the state in turn is subject to the provisions of the

whether those groups be towns, cities, precincts or

CENTRAL BANK IDEA
ALONE is OPPOSED
COMMITTEE CONSIDERS EVERY
OTHER CURRENCY PLAN.
MANY PLANS ARE SUGGESTED
Morawetz Proposes System of Regional
Reserve Banks-Kuhn-Loeb Man
Favors Central Reserve
Organization.

Washington.-Th there is something
radically wrong with the American
monetary system was agreed to by all
witnesses before the Glass subcommittee
of the house banking and currency COM
mittee, which began series OF hear
ings with the purpose of devising a new
currency scheme to be recommended to
congress. All the witnesses told the
committee that what the country needed
was a more elastic currency and con-
centration of reserve funds, but opinions
as to how these ends could be accom-
plished were variant.
A. Barton Hepburn, chairman OF ths
board of directors of the Chase National
Bank of New York, advocated central
bank similar to the one proposed by the
National Monetary Commission, 81 per
cent of the stock to be owned by the
government, if necessary.
Victor Morawetz, director of the finan-
cial affairs of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad, proposed system OF
regional reserve banks to which the
power of issuing currency should be linn
ited while Paul Warburg, of the bank
ing firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of New
York, insisted that a central reserve or
ganization differing materially from a
central bank was the only feasible rem
edy.
Chairman Glass announced that mas
much as the Democratic platform de-
clared specifically against the monetary
commissions central bank plan, the ma
iority members of the committee felt it
was their duty to seek substitute.
Representative Bulkely questioned the
witness as to the guarantee of bank de-
posits.
III you, think the gtias .see of depos-
its would stop runs on banks, the sooner
you get that idea out of your head the
better" said Mr.. Hepburn. when the
people want money, they want it, and
nothing else will satisfy them. A guar
'antee would count for nothing at all"

ington.-Enormous profits by
the First National Bank of New York
City We're recounted by George +. Baker,
chairman of the board Of directors of
the bank, as witness before the house
money trust committee. Mr.. Baker fur
nished the committee with records show
ing that since its organization in 1868,
with a capitalization o1 - 900, the
bank has made profits amounting to
more than $S0,OO0,0OO
In the four years since 1908, Mr.. Ba-
ker told the committee, the bank had
paid dividends of 226 per cent, or more
than twice the total capitalization,
which is now $10,0O0,0O0. When the
capital was increased to that amount in
1901 a special dividend OF $9,500,00O
was declared, Mr.. Baker said, to enable
the stockholders to take up the addi-
tional investment In 1908, in order to
provide $1O,O00,000 of capital for the
organization of the First Securities Com
pany, to take over the business which
the bank could not do under the law
Mr.. Baker said special dividend OF
$10,0O0000 was declared. This was in
addition to the regular yearly dividends.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel Tor the
committee, from the figures supplied by
Mr.. Baker, calculated that since ne as
sumed the presidency of the First Ma
tional, in 1878, that institution has paid
dividends of 1850 per cert on its orig
nal capitalization.
Mr.. Baker flatly opposed the sugges-
ton made by Mr.. Untermyer that ma
tional banks be required to make pnblic
their assets, in order that depositors
and stockholders might know the nature
of securities held by the banks, the wit
ness declaring that he saw no possible
good that could come of such pro-
vision.

LANDS OUTSIDE LEvEES
RIPARIAN LAND OWNERS ASSOCIA-
TION HAS PLAN.
Estimates That After First 90 Years
Land Would Produce $50 Per Acre
Every Five Years-Comnit-
tee to Washington.

Natchez.-In the absence of the of
fcers of the Riparian Land Owners As
sociation, whose lands lie on the east
bank of the Mississippi river, between
Brunswick, in Warren county, and the
southern state line, members would have
nothing to say about the report sub
mitted by the acting chief engineer,
practically recommending the purcha
of the lands that could not be protect
ed by levees, suggesting $40 an acre as
the average value of said lands.
In the petition addressed to the Mis-
sissippi River Commission, the associa-
tion stated that the owners of these
lands expressed a Willingness to sell to
the federal government at an average OF
$19.12 per acre, there being S6,2S6 acres
involved, the total value at the above
rate being $1,650,447. Some OF this land
is capable of producing bale of cotton
to the acre. In 20 years all of this land
could produce cottonwood timber that
would be merchantable and would pay
$50 an acre.
In the resolution attention was called
to the fact that IF the government
should pay $35 an acre for the open eul
tivated lands of the east bank, they
would eventually pay a profit of 500 an
acre" and every five years after the first
90 the timber could be cut and net the
same price-S6O an acre
Capt. John f. Jenkins, secretary of the
association, said that a committee will
be sent to Washington to appear before
the senate and house committees in be-
half of the association.

Jackson.-State Auditor Duncan l..
Thompson has prepared composite
statement showing the condition of 1872
state banks and 81 national banks iii
Mississippi.
The statement shows that the aggre-
gate resources of the banking industry
in Mississippi on December IS amounted
to $111,539, ,359.07, an increase of $12,-
2s4, ,069.64 as compared with the com
posite statement prepared on June Z,
1911. This is net increase of about
10 per cent for a period of eighteen
months, although the number of state
banks in operation decreased from 342
to 1872 during this period.
Undivided profits of the state and ma
tional banks on December Is were 49,
318, ,412.44, indicating that size the melon
now being sliced among stockholders on
the business of 1912. This indicates net
earnings of nearly IS per cent, but many
of the banks put goodly sums to surplus.

HOLD UP TAFT APPOINTMENTS
Republican and Democratic Leaders Fail
to Agree.

Washington Efforts by Democratic
senate leaders to make an agreement
with the Republican forces for a Joint
committee to 60 over President Taft's
recent appointments and select certain
acts that should be confirmed by the
senate met with failure.
Attempt at compromise was the re-
suit of meeting of the special commit
tee appointed by the Democratic caucus
in December to evolve method of ham
ding the hundreds of appointments that
have been sent in by the president since
December Is. Leaders informally pro-
posed to the Republicans that five mem
bers be selected by each party to take
up the task Of wedding OUT the pend
ing nominations. A number of Repub-
licans were called together to consider
the proposal and promptly rejected it.

MANUFACTURERS
EXPRESS FEAR

WILL INVADE COUNTRY.
UNDERWOOD MAKES REPLY
Says Committee Not Legislating on Fear
or Northumberland Manufac-
factu1ers Most Dreaded by
Americans

Washington.-Fear that foreign prod
ucts would invade and injure the Amer
lean market were expressed in the tes-
timony on the metal schedule of the
tariff before the house committee on
ways and means. The committee heard
arguments from representatives OF mann-
featuring and producing print
ing presses, the zinc industry of the
Rocky mountains and the Joplin fields,
the wooden screw manufacturers, OF
which the American Screw Company con-
trolled 40 or As per cent, and the $40,-
100000 output of machine tools and
numerous other products presenting a
virtually solid front against revision OF
the present tariff rates.
Keep on the tariff as 1t stands or it
will work hardship to American in
dustry," was the consensus of the senti-
ment of witnesses, all under oath, pre-
scribed by the chairman.
Chairman Underwood pointed out that
the committee was legislating for reve-
nue. for the present and not figuring on
what might happen in the future.
This committee" said Mr.. Under
wood, Cannot legisiate on your fears
and on the conditions that you say you
expect The committee ought to legis-
late to meet conditions when they arise. ?
Germany's constant hoyering near the
customs line as serious competitor of
the American industry was the constant
source of complaint in testimony. Rep
resentatives of the printing press, ma
chine tools, tinseI wire and other articles
told of the menace of German competi-
ton, and several manufacturers COM
planned that foreign competitors were
quick to copy in detail all American
improved methods.
