Daughter Home From School

Now that school is over, you can
forecast daughters future by watch
ing what she does.
Does she sit in the hammock and
read mushy novels while poor, tired

floors, makes the beds and worries

Does she talk about a career for
women while little brother runs about
with holes in his pants and hair I'M
combed?
Is she afraid that the stain of toll
upon her dainty fingers might queer
her with her best young man?
IL so, put ii down as a 10 TO ]
shot that sis will end by becoming a
fretful, disconnected female, nag
ger as a wife or a bachelor girT
whom children will fear and wise men
keep away from.
But IL she pitches in 10 mas relief,
sings as she dusts and sews and
cooks, tides up the old home till il

There is a lot OF sense in fairy
stories. AS between the bare-armed
maiden in the rear of the home, with
the roses OF honest industry in her
cheek. and the dolled-up indolent on
the front porch the prince never was
fooled, not for a minute.

A Good Beginning

There is obviously no politics in
the federal reserve board as made up
in the nominations sent 10 the senate
by President Wilson.
Paul NJ. Warburg. OF New York. is
recognized as perhaps the aDlest
scientific banker in the country A.
c. Miller of California, is widely
known as a specialist and publicist
In finance and economics. w. z. q.
Harding OF Alabama is a recognized
leader in the banking and business
activities OF the south. Charles 5.
Hamlin of Massachusetts is an an
ministrator OF extended experience in
the treasury department of the Uni
ted States. Thomas b. Jones of Hi
nois Is retired lawyer who is best
known TO the president as a trustee
OF Princeton university. These, with
Comptroller John 5. Williams Of Vir-
ginia, himself a practical banker. and
Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo OF
New York as ex-officio members, com
plete the board of seven.
The president has had a hard task.
The federal reserve act, TO go into
effect under the direction of a nation
al board. will doubtless stand for the
future as the greatest internal con-
structive work OF the Wilson admin
istration. BY its operations this ad-
ministration will be chiefly judged
hereafter, and by the character and
ability OF the reserve board will the
operations of the act be largely de-
termined for complete success.
1t was therefore most important for
the president that the utmost care
and the best judgment should be ex-
ercised in making up this board. II
was OF the utmost importance to the
country, whose banking and currency
are thus brought under a reform ,he
most fundamental and far-reaching
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1914-06-22

instituted since the national bank act
OF the Civil war period
We think il will be generally ad-
mitted that this task has been well
performed. Great care and good judg.
ment have been exercised. The worst
fear OF all was that a political board
might be named, and the politics OF
a majority OF these seven men is not
known beyond their own private
circles. The best hope was that a
board would be named which would
command the confidence OF the coun.
trys banking and business interests,
and this has been realized in spite
of the difficulties of getting high
grade men willing 70 make large per
sonal sacrifices for public-salaried
service
The nation Is thus assured OF a fav-
orable start for this great experiment
in financial reorganization The new
law will not prevent hard times. II
will not end those periodical swings
between prosperity and depression
which characterize modern industry
everywhere
But by mobilizing bank reserves
outside OF Wall-st IL will end the ALI
ance of the couptry,s banking power
with its speculative excuses; II will
prevent a recurrence of such panics
as brought on general bank suspen-
sions in 1907, 1898 and 1873. il will
stop the pyramiding OF reserves for
disastrous credit mutations; it will
substitute for fixed circulation based
on government bonds an elastic cur
rency; it will divert a centralized
banking credit from the favored use
OF special interests 10 the general
business use without favor.
The president has done his part "a
make the reform a success. II re-
mains now for all others concerned
10 do their part.--New York World.

 The total for the campaign now has reached S92S1.50. There was d marked determination in the atmosphere of the luncheon yesterday to the effect that the goal of s24.5o0 must be reached.

ment made in 1907 by Governor Conier with six railroads operating three-fifths of the mileage in the state. and to my
 connection with that agreement. and
 says it contained the same provision with respect to the immunity of the railroads from liability for past excess charges, as 1t contained in the O Neal-Henderso agreement. In his reckless zeal to make a point he allows himself to remain hlnd to facts which ordinary intelligence di- rected to the subject would reveal n him. Governor Corners agreement wi5h the six railroads did contain the same provision in almost the identical lan- guage, with respect to the immunity Of the railroads from this liability for excess charges in the past, as Is contained in the 0 Neal-Henderson agreement. But mark the difference between the effect of the two agreements and the difference in the situation of the parties at the time the respective agreements were made. In consideration of this provision in the tomer agreement six railroads agreed te put in force. and did put in force. the statutory freight and passenger rates for which Governor Conner was fighting. al- though they had previously filed bills to enjon the same, with the result that tine people saved about $l50o00 q year, or an aggregate of at least $5.000.0OO up to date.
 W hat do the people save under the O'Neal-Ilenderson agreement? Nothing. The 21a-cent rate was already fin force when the agreement was made, and no agreement whatever was made as to tine freight rates. which are the same as they were before the litigation began. The 212
 cent interstate rate was no concession, because all the Louisville and Nashville traffic officials swore that if they had to rut the 21a-cent intrastate rate in Force permanently they would have to put in a 2R-cent interstate rate Besides, the interstate commerce commission has de- clared that the interstate rate cannot exceed the sum of the local intrastate rates.
