OF COURSE, OF COURSE

J. P. Morgan has aligned himself
with the advocates of a regional
bank of commanding size in the dis
trict which is to include New York.
Only to be expected of Mr.. Morgan,
and entirely consistent of him, but
If his recommendation is carried
out, it will go far toward defeating
the very object the new currency
bill was passed to attain.
The Columbia State, with it's usual
clearness, sums the matter up as fol-
lows:
Stupidity of Opinion
The wish expressed by the New
York bankers in their meeting with
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston,
that the regional bank to be es-
tablished in New York be of a size to
oyershadow all similar institutions
If the country, is nothing more than
another example of that stupidity of
opinion which marks the ablest men.
Everybody in the United States
should know by this time that the
reason the currency bill was passed
in response to what was no less than
a public demand for action was ex-
actly because the people of the coun-
try desired that the overshadowing
control of the New York banks
should be done away with.
The mechanics of every panic that
the country has endured have GEN.
tered in just the dependence of the
balance of the nation on New York
as money market. The only reason
why the rest of the country has been
short of funds in such emergencies
was that the money which belonged
to and represented it's industries and
activities had been poured into the
speculative NAV of the great city;
and because, when New York is
scared. it will give up last of all the
money which it has borrowed with a
liberal lack of discrimination from
every other quarter.
This condition the regional banks
arc expected to do away with by
rendering the ordinary commercial
paper of the separate banks liquid
asset through rediscount. The nee
essity of lending provincial funds in
New York in the pleasing delusion
that they may be quickly collected
at need should not longer apply, even
as a fiction. 1t would be even a
greater and more dangerous neces-
sity, were the Vanderbilt idea of a
mammoth regional bank which
should be a sort of central institu-
ton for the country put into prac-
tice.
Faced with the verdict that New
York is not to be permitted longer
to dominate and control the nation
| finances, the naivete of those bank
ers who Immediately suggest an in.
crease in such power through the
very law. framed to destroy it is sac
or amusing as we may charge then
with stupidity or credit with a sense
OF humor.

HARD WORKING MEMBER.

The Mangum Star recently paid the
following tribute TO Congressman
Scott Ferris;
Endowed with the natural ability TO
accomplish things. Ferris has been
one OF the hardest working men in
congress. and the leaders CT that body
recognize him as one Of the ablest
mea Of that body This is shown by
the fact that today he holds the chair
manship Of one OF the most important
committees Of the house, and he will
continue to rise in power.
While he has devoted his time to
hard work since becoming member
of that body. he has always found time
to answer the communications OF his
constituents, and to supply them with
whatever information they may have
asked for from the various depart
meats He is a man, too, who in poll
tics, stays with his friends so long
as they are right, but he is quick 10
shift when they ask anything unrea-
eonable. He is man. too, who be-
lieyes in the Democratic organization.
and we doubt if there is a member Of
the Oklahoma delegation in congress
who enjoys more popularity among the
people OF his district than does our
own Scott Ferris. for they recognize
him as a servant who is anxious to
serve them and who does not spend
the peoples time playing politics. He
ought to be reelected from his new
district without opposition.

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
THE BUSINESS OF CITIZENSHIP.

MY advice to all young men, is TO
study politics. Study municipal poll
tics. study county politics and study
= state politics. How can we have a
: government by the people, for the peo-
> pie II the young men Of this country
: do not study politics? Devote the
/. same sincere study to political ques-
/. tions as you do to the study Of mathe-
matics.p
: Substantially the above language
was used by Dr. George L. Spinning in
: his address to the Progressive conven-
. tion here Saturday and certainly the
: suggestion coatained in il should ap.
, peal to young men as well as older
people of all political parties.
The truth is that TO make a success
OF the business Of citizenship one must
study it as he would any other busl-
ness. In sense the government OF
/. this country OF ours. from the small
est political subdivision 20 the nation
itself. is one vast business IN which

dividual, in addition to his own private
business should give earnest attention
and pains-taking study to the business
of citizenship.
Y Success in the business OF citizen
ship requires a thorough understand
ing OF politics dn the broadest SENSE
not simply knowing about the men
who are running for this and that, and
what is contained in the platforms Of
the various political parties. but In
addition to this, accurate knowledge OF
facts and the principles underlying
political questions. This knowledge Is
not to be acquired by listening to
street corner conversation and stump
speeches or even by reading newspa-
pers. These agencies may be of some
assistance, but the person who depends
upon them entirely can never have
more than smatterlng knowledge and
consequently only superficial under
standing Of the political issues Books
and magazines must be drawn upca In
order to make any adequate study Of
politics.
1t is absolutely certain that the pro
fession of the demagogue flourishes
only because citizens lack knowledge
OF the business Of citizenship. Dema-
goguery would be unable to pull the
wool over the voters eyes if all citi-
zens knew their business as well as
the political charlataR knows his
trade. Thoroughly enlightened citi-
zenship would soon wipe political pre-
tenders from the face Of the earth.
The business man or any other man
who prides himself on knowing moth
ing about and having nothing to do
Hith politics must be reckoned as an
enemy to his own interests and one OF
the greatest obstacles TO good govern
\ nlent Education for the business OF
citizenship should begin in the
schools. the young man should con-
finue the study Of it and the older
man must make il a part Of his daily
Business. In no other way can poll
ties be made TO perform its proper
\ function Of making government repre-
sent the best interests OF business and
Of society as a whole
