NO QUESTION ABOUT II

No matter what the other planks
may be in the platforms to be adopt
ed at Chicago and St Louis, the over
shadowing issues in the coming pres
idential campaign vii be American
ism and all that this term involves
Chicago Herald.
This is nonsense. All the parties
that meet this year win be for Amer
icanism. There is no more issue here
than there is in honesty, truth, cOur-
age, humanity. Everybody is for
these, and Americanism too. We
cannot see why this continuous howl
for Americanism and preparedness
unless there is something more than
the good of the country in it for
somebody There is practically no
body opposed to either Of them, and
for one man to set up a claim to a
monopoly Of either Americanism or
preparedness is conclusive proof of
his impertinence. There is some
thing more than appears on the face
in this tremendous purpose to fore
stall popular opinion upon prepared
ness, in trying to make a political is
sue out Of it. Any man who holds
himself up for preparedness par eX-
cellence is an exaggerated ego.-Ohio

OLD COX LIEUTENANT IN
SADDLE

The first act of Rud K Hynica up
on assuming the mantle of state re-
publican leadership at chicago was
to knife the Ohio primary choice for
Republican nomination for president.
Prior to the refusal of the Hamilton
county delegates to join in the unit
support of Burton and Burton only,
the absence of real leaders of the
state at Burton headquarters was
noted. Newspapers commented on
the fact that only the Willis crowd of
amateur advisers was in evidence
At times Willis himself was the en-
tire reception committee and in his
support he kept the pact made with
Burton and Daugherty at Columbus
Daugherty as candidate for senator
is pledged the Burton support and
Willis is counting on it in his race for
governor. The Hamilton county
crowd has othe senatorial arrange
ments. The organization is for Her.
rick and against Daugherty, and is
not particularly interested in the
fight on Willis because he has been
to them what they wanted Burton
supporters are chaling at the deal
the deal they got in Chicago and
charge that Willis and Harding
might easily have avoided the humil-
iation put on them by the delegates.
Now it is made to appear that the act
Of Hynica was in keeping of a pledge
to the old leader, George B. Cox, to
to retaliate on Burton for his acts
against the boss in the days gone by.
AS a result there will probably be a
real contest for state supremacy with
the old Cox crowd on one hand and
the Burton contingent on the other.
Herrick and Daugherty, leading SEN
ers, and Willis, regardless of past
promises, will be where he thinks
he can do the most good for himself.

FORMER
G. o. T.. Ohlcial Praises New Bank
Law--Prospcrity and Security
Due TO Reserve Act

In an interview made public last
week in New York, William Barret
Ridgely, former Comptroller of the
| Currency declared that the recent
prosperity of the United States rests
upon safe and sure foundations. The
enaction of the new banking law by
the Wilson administration, Ridgely
admits, is largely responsible for this
fortunate outlook.
Mr.. Ridgely served as comptroller
under presidents Roosevelt and Taft
and is a son-in-law of the late Shell
by NJ CullOm, for thirty years a Re
publican Senator from Illinois.
He said:
The balance of the trade in favor
of the United States for the first nine
months of the current fiscal year
down to the end Of March reached
the enormous sum of 81 ,491, 100000
more than double that of last year
and something over three times that
of the same period of 1913 and 1914.
This is at the rate of $4,000, 900, 900
a year in round figures. During the
whole history of the government,
from Washington to Mckinley, a per
iod of over ll0 years, the total bal
ane of trade in our favor was less
than 100000, so that in one
year the balance in our favor is more
than four times the amCut ii was for
this long period.
Figures are Gigantic
1t is difficult to contemplate figures
of such gigantic proportions with
anything like calmnoss ard to esti-
mate their effect on the present and
future business of the country with
out too much being carried away and
impressed by them. During the last
year our production Of gold has CON
tinued at our normal rate of about
500, 1000 per year and we have
imported about $35, 900 in 1915
to estimate of $50,00O,000 in 1916.
Copper has more than doubled from
$238, OO0, 600 in 1915 to an estimate
Of S540, 100000 in 1916. Lead in
creased from S48,OO0,OOO to $751;
900, 700. Zinc increased from SAL
100000 to 0,00O,000.
Due to Federal Bank Law
This explains why we have been
SlDlt 10 take DdCh American SeCuI-
tiles from European investors by the
hundreds of millions, with so little
disturbance to our own markets.
The change in our condition
due to this enormous business is
our best guarantee against any
sudden or abrupt change when
the war ends, We have cleaned
house, paid our debts and laid
up prodigious fund against fu-
ture contingencies Of almost
equal Importance is the i'm
proyement in our financial sys-
tenn, due to the establishment of
the federal reserve bank, which
gives us the machinery and or
ganization for utilizing credits
and such a mobilization of our
reserve money so as to make i'm
possibleany such sudden de-
rangcment of our financial mat
ters a swe have frequently seen
in the past, 1t was extremely
fortunate that this reform in
our financial machinery was in
operation soon enough to be of

@IEDERAL RESERVE LAW AP-
PROVED

A New York Company sent this
question to several hundred business
firms:
Are you satisfied with the Fed
eral reserve law?"
Answers 1914 yes, 157, no. This
banking law denies Wall street the
power to create panics. 1t protects
public welfare. Wars have been nee

Reserve Law wrought Wilson and a
Democratic Congress gave it birth.
