system, nevertheless he is not blind to the fact that time and iong-continued ex- perience are necessary before 1t Is dcvel- oped into thoroughly efficient piece of financial machinery. Occasionally it has been reported that the United States could not have given to the allied nations and to the world the stupendous financial aid which 1t has given had the federal reserve banking act not been in opera ton. But. In Mr. Rich's view. it would be hardly fair to say that the federal reserve act Is the sole cause that is leading the great nations of the old world to turn toward the United States for financial aid. On the other hand, it Is req soma ble to take the view that as these demands increase, as they are sure to increase. then the federal reserve bank system will provide the machinery by means of which We can much more effectively handle the foreign and domestic situation than would have been possible a year ago.
 Mir Rich explained to his South Dakota hearers his reason for this view, which IS that the federal reserve act has delivered our great banking strength from bondage and given it wise freedom and thorough elasticity. A year ago We had this power. bt 1t was not available as it is now. All sorts of artificial and original financial mechansms were created just after the war began in order to enable the United States to meet the emergency. That Is explained by the fact that under the old national banking system it was practically
 impossible to mobilize at any one point resources and reserve.
 Great Demands to Come
 Mr. Rich said to the people of South Dakota that he is persuaded that Europe s demands upon the United States VII Tor some time be very heavy. Yet he has no fear about our ability thoroughly to meet these demands. In South Dakota they are harvesting, as they are in other parts of the northwest, record making crops, and the nov cement of these crops from the harvest fields to the markets will entail great financial demands yet, in MT. Rich's opinion, that strain we will be able ca silly to bear. Before the end of another year there will be understanding through out the entire country as there begins 10 be understa nding in the great financial eenters of what the stupendcus financial power of the United States is. The red eral reserve banking system has been put in operation, Mir. Rich says, in the very nick of time. He called attention to statement recently made by Moreton Frewen which was reported in one or the London financial periodicals. Tn these words; Here is Uncle Sam, With the power of 100 J. P. Morgans now in the bill discounting business and prepared to do the worlds business. Therefore every

There are still in this country settled
districts remote from the reach Of the
telegraph. People so situated, even if
the gap is only fifty miles, can imagine
what the situation was before the
coming Of the wire" After it's gen.
eral Introduction gaps Of hundreds Of
miles were common. But the greatest
gap was between Europe and Amer
lea. Fifty years ago this time Field
was trying to bridge that gap with his
cable. Starting from the other end,
news of progress was wired back to
Ireland, then came to America by
steamer. Finally, when the western
world was all expectation, messages
ceased, and anxiety lasted for weeks.
Then news came that the cable had
parted in midocean over three weeks
before. For another year Europe was
ten days away from us.

The sad plight of England in raising

The sad plight of England in raising
q volunteer army to go against the
finest troops in the world is not with
out wholesome effect in this country.
Several large employing concerns have
offered liberal inducements to mem
bers Of the national guard to respond
to the call to drills and instruction
camps. The employers take the ground
that they, too, are serving the country
by helping guardsmen in their employ
to prepare for the national defense and
at the same time maintain their posi-
tons in the Industrial field. Not very
long ago it was not unusual for en-
ployers to warn guardsmen in the serv-
ice that absence could not be excused
On account of military duty. If the
defense Of this country is to be wholly
or practically so in the hands of the
"citizenry," then all citizens should con-
tribute in some way. The burden
should not fall entirely upon young
men, most of whom have their way to
make in the world. To put all the bur-
den upon the strictly military element
would be to penalize youthful manhood
and youthful enterprise and ambition.
That system would. be no more demo-
cratic than the odious CONSUMPTION sys-
tenn of continental Europe

tunity. An instance of this can be
seen in the war on the teachers
union. Good folks who should know
better are led to believe that fighting
the teachers union is fighting the
Catholics. Another instance is the
case of the postof1ce employees who
have two organizations, one affiliat-
ed with the A. F. of L., the other
harping about the union men being
Socialists, thereby misleading the
Catholics.

groups, too numerous to mention,
stand alone, just why is beyond me.
Possibly their leaders prefer being
