Narrated by Seth F. Watson.
Written by w. R. Poundstone.

Seth F. Watson, one of Richmond's
pioneer citizens and awell known piano
dealer, as soldier in the Army of the
Potomac had many interesting and
nerve-tinsling experiences but one
memory he cherishes above all others
has to do with an event which &C.
Cured at Centerville on election day,
1864. when Abraham Lincoln was a
candidate for reelection to the presi-
dency against George B. Mcclellan, the
Democratic nominee.
ION that election day, when the
nation was still in the throes of our
great civil war;" said Mr. Watson, a
party of Arlington Democrats who were
thorough-going rebel sympathizers,
invaded Centerville, carrying with
them Confederate flags and shouting
'hurrah for Jeff Davis. They routed
the Republican workers about the
polls at Centerville and took possession
of them after brief but lively scrim
lots they succeeded in casting for Nc

seized the polls at Centerville and
they won't let any Republicans vote,
he shouted. I want posse to go with
me to Centerville and drive them out
OF town
IN a jiffy myself and about ten or
eleven other men climbed in to the
wagon and Paxton drove the horses
on a dead run for Centerville. We
were all armed with revolvers and
ready for scrap because We were
nearly all soldiers at home on furlough
to vote: When we arrived at Center

complete control of the town and we

dence inspired in addition to the actu.
al release of reserves.
The report describes the operations
of the gold exchange fund and the cot
ton loan fund. OF the latter 1t says
that it's formation rendered material
service by restoring confidence, thus
establishing values and establishing
basis for extension of credit on cotton
as collateral.
The board asks itself the question:
What is the proper place and function
Of the Federal reserve bands? and an.
swers as follows:
On the one hand 1t Ia represented
that they are merely emergency banks
to be resorted to for assistance only
In times Of abnormal stress. 1t Is
claimed that they are in essence sim
ply additional banks which should
compete with the member banks, es-
pecially with those Of the greatest
power The function of reserve
bank is not to be identified with either
OF these extremes. although occasions
may arise when either Of such courses
may be imperative. It's duty plainly Is
not to await emergencies, but by antic-
ipation. to to do what it can to pre-
vent them. IT, at any time, commerce,
industry or agriculture, are -burdeneh
unduly with excessive interest. 1t will
be the clear duty Of the reserve bank
acting through the discount rate and
omen market powers, to secure wider
diffusion of credit facilities at reason
able rates.

The Federal reserve banks are the
holders of a large part of the banking
reserves of the nation. Nothing should

reserve hanks which would weaken
this foundation The resources OF the
reserve bank to be useful for its pc
culiar purposes, should always be read
ilv available. 1t follows, therefore
that they should be mainly invested In
such short term liquid investments as
can be easily converted into cash rs
occasion may require.
The ready availability OF its 20
sources is of supreme Importance IN
the conduct Of reserve bank. Only
then can II become safe and at the
same time flexible instrument OF guild
ance and control, regulator OF inter
est rates and conditions. Only Their

being able to to protect business
against the harmful stimulus and con
sequences of ill-adyised expansions o

menace of unnatural restriction ant

At any rate, Ban johnson is turn
ing the spotlight on himself and a
fine little three-cornered row is in
prospect. Both Charley Murphy of
the Cubs and Jim Gilmore of the
Feds are aiming their typewriters at
the pudgy boss of the American
league, and getting home some hot
shots.
Murphy infers johnson is at the
bottom of stories about the sale of
the Cubs and says they are started
to distract attention from what goes
on in the rival organized league.
Gilmore is sore because johnson
inferentially charges worry over his
holdings in the Federal league has
tened the death of Robert B. Ward,
owner of the Brooklyn team.
1t looks like a lively winter, with
column after column of the usual
bunk from the magnates. And then
they'll wonder next spring what's the
matter with baseball.
There is a swell chance that Frank
Baker, former third baseman of the
Athletics, will return to baseball next
year, but not in a Mackian uniform.
Connie Mack went to Bakers home
the other day and conferred with the
home run king. That much the
lengthy manager admits. The out.
come of the talk is still unknown.
Mack, it seems, wants to trade
Baker to some other club. The dope
from the east is to the effect that Red
Sox, Yanks and Macks may be in
volYed in three-cornered deal By
it's terms Larry Gardner would go
from Red Sox to Macks, Maisel
would go from Yanks to. Red Sox,
and Baker would put on a Yankee
uniform.

versity of Minnesota football captain.
Loren Scion, fullback and chief of the
Gopher eleven, has been found guilty
of playing summer football and bar
red from athletics. In 1911 Capt.
Earl Pickering was declared ineligible
on the eve of the Chicago game.
Scion, in common with other ath-
letes, signed paper saying there
were no blots on his amateur stand
ing, and it is possible this will result
in the movement for his expulsion
from college.
1t is only another outcropping of
the antiquated rule against summer
baseball. The amateur eligibility
rules are necessary up to a certain
extent, but discretion should be used
in interpreting them. The rule
against summer baseball is dead
letter. 1t is well recognized that
every athlete who needs the money
and has the ability plays baseball dur
ing the summer time. His greatest
crime at the present time lies in get
ting caught.
There is also suspicion that pro-
fessional talent may disrupt the Hi

raised about the amateur standing of

Ike eleven. Clark was out Of the
Ohio State game last week, the re-

ing the past week stories have been
coming from Urbana about the mark
ed improvement in the work Of this
crack ground gamer, and there was
apparently no doubt that he would be
in the Northwestern game.
Now comes an eleventh hour an
that Clark will remain
on the sidelines. Something besides
an injury is believed responsible.
