A WOMAN SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE.

The House Committee on Rules, as it is under
stood, is going to recommend the creation of new
committee in the House on woman suffrage. The
fact that such committee is contemplated is regard
ed by some people as tremendous concession to the
political equality movement.
Possibly; but not at all manifestly. Why should
there be any question about creating committee on
woman suffrage? Is there bigger or more urgen
question before the country at this time? Is there
bigger or more insistent before the democratic
caly- governed world?
The mere incident of establishing committee on
this subject is in fact mighty small concession to
an issue which has proved so big and pressing. So
long as the House organization is composed in large
part of committees that rarely meet, that have no
business to transact that exist merely for the
of providing dignity and patronage to chairmen there
will be no occasion for excitement the creation
of new committee to have jurisdiction over real
live issue.
The Senate has provided a committee on this SUBJ
ect not necessarily because the Senate favors won1-
an suffrage, but because woman suffrage is real
issue. The Senate committee has taken itself and
its duties seriously 1t was not appointed for the pur-
pose of smothering measures looking to a recogni-
tion of the woman suffrage movement; and it will
be good politics for the House create an asphyx
ation committee.

JOHN SHELTON WILLIAMS.

1t will not be a sensation to John Shelton
Williams to have his nomination for Comptroller OF
the Currency vigorously opposed. Mr.. Williams has
been fighting for about everything he has got ever
since he has been in business or in politics, and he
aS had the success that seems to like to attach itself
to the cause of a real fighter.
1t is one of the strange things of politics that Mr.
williams should be opposed on the ground of his
afiliation with big finance when in fact the most
casual inquiry woulI convince anybody that he has
been a lifelong opponent of the powers of big
finance, and of the last of the provincial nan-
cers strong enough to maintain independence OF
Wall Street" He is charged with being the asso-
ciate of Thomas F. Ryan, when in truth he has
fought Ryan longer and harder and successfully
than perhaps any other man.
Mr. Williams is the maker of one of the mpor-
tant railway systems of the country, the Seaboard
Air Line. But that is not all After he had made
that system and made it successful, he conducted
long and sturdy fight to keep it out of the control
Of the powers of the Street When there was hardly
an important railroad left in the country that was
not operated from Wall Street, when Blackstone had
!ost the Alton when StuyVesant Fish had been forced
out of the Illinois Central when Dave Moffatt of
Denver, and Arthur StilwelI, of Kansas City, and A.
B. Stckney, of ST. Paul had one by one been driven
9at Of control of the railroad properties they had
:Teated and Wall Street had squeezed its way in,
ohn Shelton Williams was still surviving, in control
of the Seaboard. No man had to fight longer or

WHY BIRMINGHAM GROWS.

There are the best of reasons for the continued
rowth of Birmingham, the wonder city of the cen
us, whose population increased from $4,000
n 1900 to $4,000 in 1910, a matter of PAS
rer cent The production of pig iron in Alabama, of
vhich industry Birmingham is the center, was rec
I'd breaker last year, amounting to more than 2,Ooo
100 TONS an increase of 100000 tons over 1912 not
outstanding the fact that dullnesS in the pig iron
market prevailed during large part of the year.
few years ago, remarks the Age-Herald, Alabama's
ron output was considered large when it reached
100000 tons.
But Birmingham is far from satisfied with this,
nd is going in for converting the iron into steel
home SO that the people will realize the maxi
num from the store of wealth that nature has de-
oosited within the State in the form of ore. The
Age-Herald believes that the time will soon come
zen there will be little merchant iron for ship
nent outside the State. With so much coal at hand,
ere is reason why this prediction should not be-
ONE a reality nor why Birmingham should not
how forth new wonders to dazzle the census-takers.

ROCKEFELLER AS AN ALTRUIsT.

John D. Rockefeller, interviewed in Cleveland,
ave the advice that I'VE should occupy our minds
18th other things than business for the other things
are those which give keen relish to life" One
might judge from this that Mr.. Rockefeller before
he applied his own admoniton to himself, found
no relish. or very little, in the oil business That
he business is rather unattractve under certain con-
iitionS seems the more likely when reflect that a
arge proportion of his competitors got out of it a
ong time before he thought of letting up either on
himself or them. During good part of this time
ne was running a melon farm, too, and he must
stuck at it pretty faithfully for the melons cut
ny the Standard Oil directors under his manage
nent were juicier even than the best that can be
raised by following the directions of the Agricultural
Department.
At any rate, man who goes directly against
Mr. Rockefeller's present advice as long as he did
and with the same conspicuous advantage to him
self, or even modest fraction of it, can afford to
be an altruist In fact he can afford almost any
thing.

DETAILED MIsINFORMATIoN."

Congressman Cooper of Wisconsin, one Of the
veterans of Congressional service and one OF the
most able and fair-minded in either house, con-
tributed a worthwhile characterization when he re-
| ferred to the vast amount of detailed misnfoma-
ton about District affairs that is afoat in Congress-
That is in fact the chief difficulty, and has been
the chief difficulty ever since Ben Johnson made
chairman of the District Committee. Mr.. Johnsons
capacity for seeing things that aren't there, for dis
torted vision Of things that there for miscon-
structon and msconcepon of the relations OF things
is positive genius. AS a member Of long service
he made chairman of the District Committee at
time when very large number of new and unn-
formed members were coming into the House, and
when very large proportion of those with real in
formation were going out. Naturally, the new men,
berS assumed that the new chairman had attained
that position because he had some special quaIica-
tions for it. When he launched his crusade against
pretty nearly everything of local concern, it not
remarkable that some attention should be COM
manded
Fortunately, as time has passed the newer men,
bers have worn off their newness, aqd accumulated
eal information about the affairs of Washington.
Chairman Johnson is not taken so seriously as he
was and the dissemination of detailed msinforma-
ton" is not doing so much harm as was, threatened
at one period.
Mr.. Cooper has introduced now resolution for an
investigation of the fiscal relations betweel the Fed
era and the local governments, which ought to pass
for two reasons. One is that the information would
be useful The other is that it would be information,
not misinformation II would be gathered by people
with desire for facts not false alarms.
1t is-very important that Johnson and his meth
DDS be excluded just much as possible. Mr. Cooper
asks commission of two Senators, two Congress
men, and FIVE Others of whom at least two should be
WashingtonianS to make up his commission. 1t
would be non-partisan or rather bipartisan, the
membership including two Republicans and two Dem
ocratS.
That sort of commission would be competent,
and it would blanket tao activities of Johnson. The
District has ceased to hope for anything like farl
deal in any activities that Johnson dominates His
vision is too distorted and his prejudces have been
too thoroughly aroused.
The Cooper resolution offers feasible way out
of present embaTassmens. 1t may be assumed that
an effort will be made to get any such investigation
into the control of the Johnsonians, and the House
leadership will do we'll to defeat that effort. III
Johnson can't be deposed the next best thing is
to restrict as much possible his activities and
jurisdictions.
The Washington times., 1914-01-14

harder for his right to independent financial exist
ence, and none fought more successfully.
Now he is accused, in some circles where the
facts ought to be better understood of being the ally
and agent of the very forces he has all these years
opposed
The fact is that the opposition to Mr.. Williams
comes from the very forces with which he is ac-
cuSed of being allied. In due time this will be made
perfectly clear and when it is the opposition will
collapse and he will be confirmed as Comptroller
with little opposition, probably with little delay.

A RESERVE BANK HERE.

banks should be located in Washington are so COM
peIng and conclusive that it hardly to be doubt
ed that the decision will be in favor of the Capital
Every other great national banking system has its
headquarters at the national capital In the case of
the new reserve SYSTEM however, conditions are un-
like those of any other country. The Capital of the
United States is not a metropolis, as most national
capitals are. Therefore, the great bank of our re-
giona system will be at the metropolis. The national
capital is headquarters of the supervisory and ad-
ministrative authority. Nothing could be more ap-
parent than that of the regional banks should be
here. The National Reserve Board will need it here,
in order to maintain proper touch with the whole
system.
