STRIKING POINTS IN PRESI-
DENT WILSON'S SPEECH

Ii | were not ready to fight for
everything L believe in | would think
it my duty to take back seat.
| love the democratic party, but
love America a great deal more than
l love the democratic party, and
when the democratic party thinks
that it is an end in itself, then rise
up and dissent.
There are democrats who are sitting
in the preaching strap, who are hold
ing back, who are nervous | claim
to be an animated conservative, be-
cause being a conservative under
stand to mean a man who not only
preserves what is best in the nation,
but Who sees that in order to preserve
it you dare not stand still.
Politics in this country does not
depend any longer upon the regular
members of either party. There are
not enough regular republicans in this
country to take and hold national
power, and | must Immediately add
that there not enough regular demo-
Gratis, either. This country is guided
and it's policy is determined by the
independent voters.
What seems perfectly evident to
me is this, that if you made rough
reckoning you would have to admit
that only about one third of the re-
publican party is progressive; and
you would also have to admit that
about two thirds of the democratic
party is progressive.
The republicans have not had a
new idea in thirty years; they have
not known how to do anything ex-
cept sif on the lid.
This country is bursting its jacket,
and they (the republicans are seeing
to it that the Jacket is not only kept
tight, but is riveted with steel.
There is one thing that have got
a great enthusiasm about, | might
almost say a reckless enthusiasm,
and that is human liberty Until
this recent revolution in Mexico,
until the end of the Diaz regime, SO
per cent of the people of Mexico
never had a slook-in" in determin
ing what their government should be.
The country is theirs. The govern
ment is theirs. The liberty, if they
can get-and God speed them in get
ting its theirs. and so far as my
influence goes while | am president
nobody shall interfere with them.
Have not European nations taken
as long as they wanted and spilled
as much blood as they pleased in
settling their affairs, and shall we
deny that to Mexico because she is
weak? No, | say!
! want to ask the business men
present if this is not the first January
in their recollection that did not
bring a money stringency for the
time being. have asked bankers if
that happened this year, and they
say, mo, it did not happen; it could
not happen under the Federal Re-
serve Act" We have emancipated
the credits Of this country.

HOW BANKERS ARE MADE

Those who advise the farmers to
ask for laws permitting farmers CO.
operative banks to receive deposits
are In error. AS soon as such organ
izations take on the business of re-
ceiving deposits, they assame the ex-
penses of running commercial banks.
They must have salaried officers and
loan committees, and must learn the
banking business. They must learn
it. too, by experimenting with their
own money.
Bankers are not so made.
They spend years of their lives in
subordinate positions before they can
be assumed to have that sort of sec
Ond sight withaut which no banker
can succeed.
Cooperative farmers banks have
succeeded only where they have been
organizations of borrowers, whose
sole function has been to standariZe
and certify loans for the safeguard
ing of lenders. They must not be
obliged to maintain bank office, or
a safe, or salaried force. They
must be otlicered by men who receive
no salaries, save for the small amount
of bookkeeping necessary for their
business.
Small CO operative farmers deposit
banks would embarrass the CO. opera
tive movement and yield profits to
safe blowers only.

NO FULL MOON THIS MONTH

In February the moon will not be
full and the next time the same thing
happens it will be 100000 years
hence, so astronomers declare. The
last time the moon was not in full in
February was in 1866 During Janu-
ary the moon was in full the second
time. 1t was full on the first and got
around to the same condition again
on the thirtieth. The same applies
in March, therefore, there is nc
chance for February to have full
moon.

Sympathy for the bondsmen is
likely to prevent attempts by the
state to collect the thousands Of dol
lars pocketed by past state treas ur-
ers. In the legislature the disposi-
ton is not to appropriate money for
the prosecution Of the cases and as
they cannot be prosecuted without
money. they fall By the wayside.

SELLING BY MAIL

Selling by mail can never take the
place of the present system, but it
may affect it to some extent. The
great agency for this kind of selling
is the parcel post. The man who
makes success of mail order selling
must do 80 by finding honest and re-
liable customers, and giving his Gus
TONERS honest and reliable goods.
The first requires salesmanship.
The second ought to be easy for any
man, but unfortunately it is not.
The Golden Rule must be packed in
every shipment. Some businesses
may be successful without scrupulous
honesty. but mail order selling can
never be. Every shipment must be
put up little better than the shipper
would be satisfied with if he were
the customer. Such man will get
customers, and keep them. None
other will.
