RICHMOND SELECTED OVER
BALTIMORE FOR THE RE-
GIONAL BANK.

The committee, consisting Of Secre-
taries McAdoo and Houston, and John
Sketon Williams, selected Richmond,
Va, for the reserve bank over Balti-
more for this, the fifth reserve bank
district This selection has given rise
to very general criticism all over the
country for many reasons. The popula-
ton Of Richmond is only about one
hundred and twenty-five thousand, as
compared to Baltimore City, with a
population of about six hundred thou
sand. In plain words it is a comparison
Of country village to large city.
Washington City is also in the same
district with almost twice the popula-
ton Of Richmond.
This consideration of itself, it would
seem, ought to have been an all sufficient
reason why Baltimore ought to have
been the location of the reserve bank for
the district Bat besides this the bank
Ing business and capital of Baltimore is
many times larger than Richmond, and
will continue to be much larger busi-
ness and banking centre than Richmond
for many years to come, and most prob
ably for all time. 1t is third, if not the
second great port Of entry on the At
lantic Coast and its export and import
trade and business is very large and is
constantly increasing. 1t has made and
is now making great Improvements for
this trade.
Richmond is also an inland city and
can never have, or expect to have, an
import business. 1t will not, probably
in century, have the population that
Baltimore now has 1t looks like, as
some of the newspapers say: "Tacking
Large Dog to Very Small Tail"
In addition Baltimore City is leading
railroad centre, and is constantly grow
ing in this direction, while Richmond
in this respect seems full grown and
very small.
The important question is why such
a selection was made? 1t seems to us
that it can only be explained on two
grounds One is the overweaning sci
fshness and BIG headedness of the Bal
timore people. They seem to think
that in every public question in the
State, Baltimore is all of it, This is es
pecially so as to the counties. Balti
more does not regard the counties at all.
A few bankers and business men of
Baltimore took it into their heads that
they could get the reserve bank, with
no regard to State influence. They
went before the committee to name the
reserve bank and asked for no other in
fuence The Mayor Of Baltimore, the
Governor of the State, the two United
States Senators, the six members of
Congress; none of them were asked by
this Baltimore Committee to add their
weight and influence. The result was
that the committee lost out. The City
Of Baltimore and the whole State re
ceived body blow and it is even said
that we were struck below the belt.
However it was, Baltimore City and
the State have been greatly injured by
the selection of Richmond Other pa
pers say, and probably truthfully, that
the secret is that j. Shelton Williams
one Of the committee, lives in Richmond
and controlled the selection. Even if
this be true, the influence that Balti-
more could have brought to bear if it
had been utilized, this influence

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

lars, free.

How to Save
Your Eyes
Try this Free Prescription.

Do your eyes give you trouble? DO
you already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands of people wear
these windows" who might easily dis
pense with them. You may be one OF
these and it is your duty to save your
eyes before il is too late. The eyes
are neglected more than any other or
gan of the entire body. After you fin
ish your days work you sit down and
rest your muscles, but how about your
eyes? Do you rest them? You know
you do not. You read or do something
else that keeps your eyes busy; you
work your eyes until you go to bed.
That is why so many have strained
eyes and finally other eye troubles
that threaten partial or total blind
ness. Eyeglasses are merely crutches;
they never cure. This free prescrlp-
ton, which has benefited the eyes OF
so many, may work equal wonders for
you. Use it short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as
if by magic? Try this prescription.
Go to the nearest wide-awake drug
store and get bottle of DIPLOMA tab
let's; fill a two-ounce bottle with
warm water, drop in one tablet and
allow it to thoroughly dissolve. With
this liquid battle the eyes two to four
times daily. Just note how quickly
your eyes clear up and how soon the
inflammation will disappear. Don't be
afraid to use it; it is absolutely harm
less. Many who are now blind might
have saved their eyes had they started
to care for them in time. This is SIM
pie treatment, but marvelously effec-
tive in multitudes of cases. Now that
you have been warned don't delay
day, but do what you can to save your
eyes and you are likely to thank us
as long as you live for publishing this

sLOUISIANIAN ON
FLOOD CONTROL
Senator Elect Broussard
Believes Problem is
Solved.
NOT A ONE-STATE JOB
Newlands Bill, Giving Federal Gov.
eminent Power to Handle River
and Flood Problem the
Right Method.

Washington, April 11.-Represent-
alive and Senator elect Robert F.
Broussard, who will address the Lou
siana Bankers association at Shreve-
port on April IA on River Regulation
and Flood Control" believes he has
found the reason why better results
in the matter of protection against
floods have not been obtained in the
past.
During 100 years past the people
of the valleys of the Ohio, the Mis-
souri, and other tributaries have been
cutting out the forests, opening up
farms, and, in the name Of progress
and development, doing all the things
they could do to accelerate drain
age" said Mr.. Broussard today, "In
this way a greater and greater pro-
portion Of the drainage Of the Mis-
sissippi watershed comes down IN
the shape of floods, and smaller
and smaller proportion in the shape
Of dry season flow. This, of course,
means higher and higher flood levels
in the spring and lower water to
float boats on and supply unuer-
ground moisture during the remainder
of the year.
Meanwhile, the flood fighters in
the lower Mississippi valley have had
to fight harder and harder, and to
raise their levees higher and higher.
Some years ago we of the lower
Mississippi valley succeeded in get
ting the federal government to help
us build and maintain the levees.
"Since then the river and flood
problems of the remainder of the
country have, like our own flood
problem, become more acute.
Last year the Ohio valley suffered
enormously. This year California
and the far west have had their
share of the flood troubles.
'In between, Texas and other
states have complained bitterly of the
damage done by drought.

ct would therefore appear that the
river and flood problem is national
one, and should be dealt with in a
national way; that Louisiana and
Mississippi and Arkansas should join
