baltimore Resents IL.

Baltimore resents the snub II has re-
Ceived from Secretary MCAdoo and those
associated with him IN the selection Of
Federal reserve bank cities That Rich
mond should have been chosen in prefer
ence to this city-the real metropolis of
the South-was utterly without reason or
excuse. To make Baltimore tributary to
the Virginia capital in this branch of
government finance Is rubbing II in
Richmond is a fine city and a progressive
city. but its banking business. its customs
receipts and its contributions to the sup
port of the Federal government can bear
no comparison with those Of Baltimore.
Every large city on the Atlantic coast
to the north-BOston. New York and
Philadelphia-was given one OF the re-
serve banks. then Baltimore was jumped
Yet no city in the country presented a
stronger case TO the arbiters. Facts and
figures, carefully prepared and all
convincing were presented by the leading
bankers and business men of Baltimore
to the Secretary of the Treasury and his
colleagues. The strong delegations that
went to Washington were given every
reason to believe that their mission was
successful. Then. at the finish, Balti-
more was thrown out as II II had no
more right to such a bank than a cross
roads village.
Baltimore has a right to feel indig-
nant. II has a right to demand better
treatment from the Federal authorities.
II was as fairly entitled to one of these
banks as any city on the whole list, and
cutting II out is an open insult to a city
of the highest financial standing.-From

Courage Needed in Congress.

What deplorable truth it is that
many bills introduced in Congress are
enacted into laws which majority OF
the members of both Senate and House
believe to be economically bad for the
country. Ayes" which would be
noes" if members had the courage 10
vote their convictions, are responsible
for much legislation which quickly
proves itself to be bad. An agitation or
a fad among his constituents makes a
Congressman a coward who, fearing to
risk the loss of few votes in his own
particular district, votes to saddle upon
the nation, or all Federal territory, or
the defenseless District of Columbia
alone, the pet policy of the agitators,
Just now members of both parties in
the House are reported to be shivering
in their boots because of the imminent
possibility of their being compelled to
openly commit themselves on the ques-
tion of nationwide prohibition, as de-
fined in the Hobson resolution which
provides for submitting to the States
a proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton, which will prohibit the sale, man.
ufacture, or importation of alcoholic
liquor in the United States,
Supporters of the resolution are plot
ting to force roll call on the reso.
luton, placing every member of the
House on record, for or against. Rec
ognizing the far-reaching economic eff
fects involved, many members ma
jority, it is safe to say-are endeavoring
to avert a situation in which they will
be compelled to record themselves. On
the one hand, they are confronted with
serious national problem; on the
other, with the possible loss of the votes
of ardent prohibitionists at home.
Surely this is too large a question to
be determined by prejudice and scat
tered agitation. What might be an ex-
cellent thing for Georgia or Oklahoma
might not be wise for the United States

Senate Wisdom Prevails.

In confirming the nomination by Pres
ident Wilson of Winthrop More Daniels,
of Princeton, N. J., as member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
Senate again yesterday proved itself i'm
mune to stampede and sustained its rep
utation for acting on the side of wisdom.
That there should have been any objec-
ton to Mr.. Daniels was more than SUR
prising. A resident of Princeton, the
fact that the President chose him for an
Office which he regards as of such high
importance should have been sufficient
to convince any Senator of his fitness.
Yet the spectacle was presented of a
New Jersey Senator aligning himself
with Senator's La Toilette and Cummins
who organized the opposition to con-
firmation.
The sole ground for the opposition
was that Mr.. Daniels, as president of a
public service commission. operating un-
der an act for which Mr.. Wilson was
sponsor when governor, had placed
what his opponents regarded as too high
valuation on the assets of corpora
tion. He was accused of allowing a
certain amount for intangible value and
certain amount in addition for go
ing concern" In the case of a busi-
ness mrmly established, built up, and ex-
panded by an individual, a small firm
or stock company, the men who objected
to Mr.. Daniels confirmation would
doubtless have been quick to concede
reasonable intangible value and a rea-
sonable amount for going concern,
but Mr.. Daniels made the mistake in
their eyes of recognizing such values
in the case of a public service corpo-
ration. And President Wilson. presum-
ably with full knowledge of and con-
fidence in Mr.. Daniels integrity, ability,
and Judgment, selected him as a member
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission,
tribunal which is about to undertake
the physical valuation of the railroads
of the United States. The horrifying
thought that he might be disposed to
recognize an element of intangible value
in railroad was enough to offset every
thing else m his favor in the minds OF
the corporation baiters. They could not
even permit themselves to trust the
President to fill vacancy on a COM
mission to which he looks to carry out
large part of his own advanced pol
icy. AS might easily have been predict
ed, they lost their fight and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and the
country will be the gamers.

of America. An amendment to the Con-
stitution is not thing to be placed in
the balance against handful of votes
in a Congressional district. 1t is a
proposition on which every self-respect-
ing member of Congress, with the well
fare of his country at heart, should vote
his hoHst convictions. Any other
course would be nothing short OF shame
full.
If the Hobson resolution is to be
adopted, let it be adopted honestly; If
defeated, let it be defeated honestly. An
American ought rather to welcome de-
feat at the polls in small section of a
single State than to elect himself time
server in the eyes of the whole country.

sale tomorrow night in support OF James
J. O'Byrne. the Democratic nominee TO

looking to the Seventh New Jersey Con-
gressional district for a ratification of
his administrations policies.
The special election. which will be held
next Tuesday. Is considered Of national
importance. IL being the first for a mem-
ber Of Congress since the administrator
policies became effective.
: Senator Hughes is managing the cam
paign OF Mr.. oByrne. who for ten years
was his secretary. The letter from Presi-
dent Wilson says:
May not. as the time for the election
approaches. send you this line Of warm
Endorsement?
81 hope sincerely that the people of
your district will elect you TO the House
and In this way not only do you honor.
but also show their Judgment with regard

Penn.yIvania's Powerful Plea.

If no other testimony had been heard
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
ii would seem that it must be convinced
Of the necessity for higher railway rates
by the plea made yesterday by President
Rea. of the Pennsylvania. The fact and
figures he presented relating to the
finances Of that great and well managed
system are convincing. Less than 21-4
per cent on the average has been earned
in the last ten fiscal years upon the in
crease investment in road and equip
ment Unless the gap between receipts
and expenditures can be widened even
such a strong corporation as the Penn
sylvania must cease to make improve
ments and reduce its service to the
community, and the effect upon weak
lines can be nothing less than disastrous.

For Selfish Interest.

Any fool can criticise.
It doesn't take brains to find fault
1t doesn't take power to be destruc'
tive.
But to be constructive, to build up
to help, to make better, to become
stronger-takes brains, power and
perspective. There you have it
and why does anybody with the abll-
ity to construct want to destroy?
The most unsolvable problem the
writer has ever tried to figure out is
why people in Shenandoah-or any
other place-delight in destroying
and tearing down rather than con-
structing and building up.
Eliminating every other viewpoint
except the cold blooded dollars and
cents, selfish one, why do they do it?
Why do men with property here,
business men whose business de-
ponds upon the welfare of the town,
farmers whose land is valuable ac-
cording to the growth of the nearest
city, laboring men, whose work and
wage depend upon their towns
prosperity-why do these want to
knock instead of boost? Why do
they want to croak instead of cheer?
Why do they want to block instead
of assist? Why do they find fault in
stead of trying to solve the problem?
Think it over. Who are you hurt
ing when you knock, yourself or
somebody else?-ShenandOa World.

your digestion easy-just tell US and

A Roomy Seed Bed.

The abundance, energy and ability
of plant roots depends greatly on the
room and freedom they have to de-
yelop. Roots seek the course OF least
resistance. especially during the ten
der age, and at time the plant re-
quires the most assistance. If the
seed bed is shallow, the feeding area
is restricted in both food and mols-
ture. Such seed bed usually has
hard pan preventing, not only the
penetration of tender roots, but stops
the downward passage of water and
encourages the washing away OF the
surface soils and fertility during
heavy showers. A roomy seed bed
serves as a reservoir to catch and re-
tain water until it percolates into
the deeper subsoil. Hence, for many
reasons the seed bed should be deep,
a condition accomplished by blowing
and filling deep.
The process of deepening the seed
bed should be gradual, for the rea-
son that subsoils or soils not rich In
humus are not productive. but are
