throughout the nation.

1.-The task put upon the federal
reserve board, while onerous, was
readily accepted by Secretary Nc
Adoo, who recognized the gravity
of the situation, the necessity for
action, as well as the practicability
of the plan to meet the situation, and
1T is understood that through his
guiding influence the entire fund of
S15O,O0O,0OO was made available to
the cotton growers of the South at
a very moderate rate of interest
when it is considered that the loan
is made to run year if the brrower
so desires and the borrower can pay
the lender any time.
The committee had telegraphic
advices from Arkansas, Georgia.
Louisiana, Mississippi, South Car
olina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and
Texas that each OF these States
unquestionably would contribute
their proportionate part of the
S15O.O0O,0O0 which is allotted to
the South as it's part OF the fund. 1t
is expected that all the eastern,
northern and western parts Of the
country will be willing to contribute
now that New York has spoken.
particularly so as the management
OF the fund will be placed in charge
OF the federal reserve board.
THE president, Secretary McAdoo
and the reserve board having
already approved the plan of raising
the fund, it is generally understood
that all departments OF the govern
ment will be put behind the surplus
cotton crop to rapidly increase it's
export and also to develop the sale of
the product to the New York and
Southern cotton manufacturers.

GLASS OPPOSING
PLAN FOR COTTON
Gives Reasons for Opposition to
Proposed Schemes for Relief.
BAD IN THE LONG RUN.
take to Purchase or ValOriZe
Any Crop for People.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 14.-Chair-
currency committee told the con-
vention of the American Bankers
Association today he felt confident
that proposals for government
valorization of cotton and of the sale
or government bonds to take the
crop off the planters hands would
not result in action by Congress. If
II were done, he declared, it would
not be of permanent benefit to the
cotton producer.
Outlining some recent legislative
history, he said 1t often was more
important to prevent things from
being done than to do things"
Especially is this true" he de-
clared, with reference to some OF
the propositions pending. such as
the suggestion to have the govern
'nent going into the cotton business
by valorizing this single product at
the expense of all the American peo-
pie. And so with the other sugges-
tion that the government sell $780,
100000 worth of bonds and use the
proceeds for the purchase of a sin
moment that the government al
ready is levying taxes on the Ameri-
can people to raise $1OO,OOO,OOO to
cover the deficit in the treasury ac-
casioned by the stoppage OF impor-
tations caused by the war in Eu-
rope.
Every sane ano patriotic citizen
whether of Massachusetts, or Missis-
sippi, Virginia or California, deeply
| sympathiZes with cotton planters
and would do anything within the
limitations OF reason and safe eco
nomics to aid them in their distress; {;
but 1t cannot be expected that Con
gress will resort to measures for the
relief of any single American pre-
duct, the enactment OF which meas
ure would wreck and ruin the entire
/ financial and commercial fabric OF
! the country.
/ you tndI IL is lO'
/ pleasant for me--a Southern mau
and chairman of the banking AM
currency committee of the house
! to submit to the reproaches and up
lraidings of my Southern colleagues
for being unwilling to help their
! desperate schemes OF relief, but
simply cannot with any regard foI
my oath as a representative in Con.
gress of with any appreciation OF
the responsibilities of my position
yield my judgment to such uErea
sonable and dangerous suggestions
These things ought not to D,

done. If done they would no; hel;
the cotton producer because the
latter would be seriously injured b,

WHO WILL MAKE ANSWER

WE are publishing this week let
ter from Mr. Joseph H. Perkins, for
which we ask thoughtful and search
ing perusal by the people of this
town and State-especially by the
church people and the Christian min
listers. We do not hesitate to say
that We are strongly in sympathy
with the position which Mr.. Perkins
takes in his communication. The col
umns of the WING are, however, open
to every phase of dignified discussion
and we shall be glad to publish any
properly phrased reply to Mr.. Perkins
letter. Our own notion of the minis
ter's proper function in creating the
holy Estate of Matrimony" is mu.h
outraged by the performances that
are going on in this town. If, how
ever our notion is mistaken one, we
are ready to debate the question, Ell
Their in these columns or anywhere.

A HAPPY DECISION.

THE granting of a partial increase
in freight rates to the railroads by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
was hailed this week, in business civ
c!es, as boon to business prosperity
The additional revenue, of which the
roads stand in proven need, will mean
much to multitudes of small as well
as large investors. Above all it will
mean returning employment to thous-
ands of men who have been laid off or
cut in wages by the recent necessary
economies of the roads. Say or think
what you will, the outstanding fact is
that when the railroads are not pros
pering, hundreds of thousands of our
people are made to suffer.

ment will pay an equal amount, the
arrangement being that the cost Of
slaughtered animals shall be borne
half and half. The outlay for sup
preston will be extra.
Thed evelopment of the foot-and
mouth disease in Maryland has caused
slaughtering of 1927 steers, 293 cows,
46 heifers, 1877 sheep, APO hogs 20
shoats and 81 calves. The disease APP
peared in Washington, Frederick, Car
roll, Montgomery, Howard, Prince
Georges, Baltimore, Hartford, Queen
Anne's, Talbot and Caroline counties,
the first case appearing in Washing
ton county on November and the last
in the same county this week.

MARYLAND'S DISGRACE

THE annual stateme 1T, recently
made public by the Maryland Jockey
Club, indicates that not less than
$3.50, 100000 was bet on the races at
Pimlico this year. The tracks at
Bowie, Laurel and Havre de Grace,
where meets" were also held, have
not made any statement to the public.
In other words, Maryland has four
race track gambling associations.
What is laid in bets on these tracks,
in the course of a single year, the
public will never know; but it must be
an enormous sum when the report Of
one out of four tracks shows that two
and three-quarter millions of dolla"s
We're bet at that point alone.
In other words, Maryland licenses
what every other State in the Union
but three has prohibited set of pub
lie, officially endorsed gambling
"joints", where millions 1--WE speak
now with accuracy Of dollars are
won and lost in betting. By whom?
Let Mr.. Clyde, President of the Mary
land Jockey Club, answer-''by weak.
lings and fools" These are Mr.. Clydes
own words. In reply to d question by
Senator Williams, before Senate
Committee last winter, Mr.. Clyde said:
Il have owned and raced running
horses for many years; but | never
laid a bet on d horse in my life;
leave that to 'wcaklings and fools. -
In other words, Mr.. Clyde's Jockey
Club, and Havre de Grace, and the
others, are licensed joints for fleeing
"weaklings and fools" That may suit
the racing men, but it ought not to
suit civilized social organism like
the State of Maryland. The business
of the State is to protect the weak and
foolish. That is one of its supreme
purposes. That is great reason for
the organization of society and an
ear-mark of its civilization. We can
not therefore understand the indif-
ference of the people of this State to
so vital an issue The Editor of the
WING, as State Senator, fought this
licensed gambling business all through
the last Legislature and did not mind
a little bit the opposition of its sup
porters in the Senate, and out of it.
What did hurt, him, however, and dis
gust him beyond measure, was the
lack of support from quarters that
ought to have given it vigorously and
in abundance.
We do not hesitate to say that We
shall continue, so long as we are in
public life or even citizen of this
State, to fight for all We are worth,
this nefarious business, without any
regard to the effect our attitude may
have on our political fortunes. We
do not hesitate to say further that we
shall entertain little respect for the
good citizenship or Christian civiliza-
ton of the people who fail to join us
in this fight.

XMAS MUSINGS
THE NEW PEACE
By the BentztOwn Bard.

This is the strangest peace, but awful
ly nice and still;
Plenty of calm and quiet, and tenn
ing earth's goodwill.
For these that lie in the shadows, and
these that mix with the clod,
Have found the peace worth having
the infinite peace of God!
Shattered walls and ruins, and gray
mist through the smoke;
Not much shouting or singing; the
bells that once awoke
The glory of Christmas morning with
their carols of delight
Are somehow touched with the spirit
and spell of silent nightn
This angel here in the centre-why,
look! What wings are those?
What lean and bony fingers, what
strange and gruesome clothes!
The angel of love and laughter and
beauty and light and cheer?
Oh, this is new peace, darling, and
the angels Death, | fear!
They may not mind in the little homes
where the loved Stlll walt fOr
these
That have fallen for God with the dust
and clod where the jabbering vul-
ture fees
For they will know that new peace
comes that none have known be-
fore
When Christmas falls on the desolate
hearts that have given up all to
War.
This is the strangest peace, but that is
because it is known
Only to those who fall like these in the
range of the battle zone;
For these that lie in the shadows, and
these that mix with the clod
Have found the noblest peace of all
the infinite peace of God,

Each past unbroken vow.
Old loves, and younger wooing,

Estranged from hope and gladness,
In this fast fading year;

Made aliens from your kind,
