TAKING seriously the detection of few
l Democrats in Louisiana is pleasant
pastime for antialminstration leaders and
all innocen, diversion for independents. but
most OF refuse to get excited. In fact,
little else than incredulity has greeted the
news OF the new movement. and that only
when Indifference has been sufficiently over
come TO allow even disbelief In the first
place. the secession of Louisiana from the
Democratic party TO the Progressive party
would not be a really serious blow. because it
would mean that the party would be rid of
the sugar barons long element OF trouble
In the second place the sugar industry of
Louisiana. as important as it is affects very
small minority Of the people of the State. and
the crouch Of few will not extend to all or
even 10 a large proportion. The opposition
has made the most of the incident. and now
everybody else has about forgotten it.

".An Ominous Incident"

. RESIDENT WILSON does not exaggerate
when he says in his letter to Thomas
Jones that the fight made upon the confirma-
ton OF Jones and Paul Warburg as members
of the Federal Reserve Board is IAN omin-
Gus incident" The menace of politics in the
appointment Of members of the board; the
notice given to the country that the nomina-
ton of good men will be fought to the finish;
the power displayed by demagogues and ex-
emplars of party perfidy and dish honor will
lessen the confidence of the nation in whom
ever the Senate confirms without "a struggle
Opposition to President Wilson upon every
important occasion Injuries the party and the
country. but the injury done is intintesmal
when compared with the destructive work
performed by Hitchcock and Reed and their
republican allies in this instance. 1t means
that the best man cannot be obtained without
struggle, and possibly not even then It
means that the threat is held out that here
after the man must seek this high and i'm
portant office and must seek it as chea D
politicians seek post-ofice job. 1t means
that nominations made by the President must
be fought for bitterly at the expense of
pending legislation, unless demagogues find it
to their interest to yield. 1t means that
patriotic men must be continually on guard
lest politics invade the Federal Reserve
Board and politicians dominate it, 1t means
that belief in the desire Of the Senate of the
purposes of the new currency law and to
make it a nonpolitical body OF high minded
patriotic. capable men is lessened throughout
the nation
Senators Hitchcock and Reed are chiefly
responsible for the danger which threatens
But for their demagogy. but for their hatred
OF Bryan and Wilson but for their party
treason there would have been little trouble
and little delay i'll the confirmation OF all
Mr.. Wilson's appointments. But. while we
may all deplore this. there is no poltica |
capital in it, as some Republicans are foolish
enough and unpatriotic enough to believe and
nope. Two Democrats could not have made
successful opposition 10 the appointment of
one OF the best available men but for the
support given them by unanimous commit
tee minority. Even then they could not have
succeeded but for the active aid Of other Re-
publican Senators and the silent support Of
many others. The vast ma jority of the Dem
ocrats supported the President; the vast ma
jority of the Republicans played politics.
While the voters are remembering Hitchcock
and Reed, they will not forget their Republi-
can allies.

THE PUBLIC PULSE
Editorial Expressions From Leading
Newspapers


The conditions in the United States Senate
which have induced the President to withdraw
the nomination of Thomas ID. Jones to the
Federal Reserve Board at the lattcr's request
are disgrace to that body They the joint
creation OF partisan politics, shameless dema-
gosy and personal spite. AS President Wilson
says in letter charged throughout with intense
feeling, II is the work of the Republican
minority of the Banking Committee assisted by
two OF the majority who have usually acted
with them"
the launching OF the new banking and currency
system. 1t is ominous NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
politics in the direction OF this system. ominous
OF class determinations in making up the gov
crnins board, ominous of senatorial d;ctation
and usurpation in relation to the Federal

Withdrawal of .Ir. Jones.

Doubtless the banking system and the country
at large will lose much through the withdrawal
Of the nomination OF Mr.. Thomas D. Jones as
member Of the Federal Reserve Board. 1t may
be difficult TO fill the place for which President
wilson selected him with capable and expert
enccd man But the Presidents reasons for
withdrawing tho nomination will be regarded
as satisfactory In the circumstances except by
persons who are constitutlonally opposed even
TO tho semblance OF submission. Mr. Jones had
asked for III. withdrawal because of the embar-
rassmcnt the nomination causing the
administration. and the President said he

The Panama Canal and Virginia

THE most interesting part OF the report OF
1 Collector Of Customs Hamilton is not
that showing million and half dollars col
lected in customs duties nor that showing
the increase in the exports and imports
through the port OF Norfolk nor yet that
showing the large amount or customs duties
collected by the Richmond Office 1t is the
belief expressed by the collector that re
vival of the export business all along the
line Is imminent. and that 1.-The opening of
the Panama Canal will increase greater than
ever the volume of exports and imports
through Virginia ports.
Collector Iamiton's estimate OF collections
OF 100000 in duties during the next year
is conservative one. as S1,500,O0O was col
lected during the fiscal year ending June,
1919, and an additional 100000 is almost
certain with the Panama Canal in opera ton
