not forget that the most immediate and

Praise for Secretary McAdoo.
Controller Williams paid tribute to
Secretary McAdoo,, who, he said, had
solved financial problems during the
past three years compared to which
the tasks of Hamilton, Gallatin, Chase,
McCulloch and Sherman seem small.
In summing up the results achieved
under the federal reserve system, Mr.
lowered and equalized, business Of all
kinds placed on stronger foundation
and bank failures greatly reduced.
"It is certain that just before us,
/ said in conclusion, "a mighty task is
to be done to reorganize and re-estab-
lish the nations of the earth. We have
the right to do it to our own profit.
But it is our duty and our opportunity
to let the word fair go hand in hand
with the word profit
Let us have the great American soul
go in company with the great Ameri-
can dollar. We have the people with
the souls in them. We have the dol
lars beyond our most exaggerated
hopes. =,
IF we put the soul of the people In
the use and application of the dollars,
the loftiest and noblest conceptions OF
the centuries will be fulfilled by us.
And, gentlemen. you govern the use

Progress Of Banking.


tional bank section Of the association.
He reviewed the progress of banking
under the federal reserve law, sketched
the commanding position the Unitd
States has taken in world finance, de-
clared that for the first time America
had become distinctly a creditor nation,
urged the bankers to take a more ac-
tive interest in politics, and warned
them against the danger of too great
concentration of wealth at the expense
Of small enterprises.
rs it not hard to grasp the thought
that this country of ours which in 1902
had already reached pinnacle among
the nations, has since that year dou-
bled the volume of its business in vir-
tually all the great cities of the landr'
asked he. III we should divide the new
wealth created annually among all the
men, women and children engaged at
work they would have not far from a
thousand dollars per year each.
Our deposits in all tho banks
throughout the United States at this
time are so huge that II there should
be withdrawn from these banks an
amount of deposits equal to the total
England. the Bank of France. the Bank
of Spain, the Bank of The Netherlands,
the Bank of Norway. the Bank Of
Sweden. the National Bank Of Switzer-
land and the Imperial Bank of Japan,
all combined, the deposits of our banks
three years ago.
IF a balance should be struck today,
the probabilities are that we would find
ourselves. for the first time in our his
tory. a distinctly creditor nation. We
hold a mortgage on the worlds physi-
cal assets. The world holds a mortgage
on our soul. on our good will and
broad nobility of purpose.

Warns Of Money Greed,

Patriotic Americans have a right to
gloat over such a showing with swelling
pride. Thoughtful Americans will find
in them cause for fear that wealth

Retirement of Greenbacks.

Immediate retirement of all green
backs and a gradual withdrawal of
national bank notes. placing the cur
rency of this country on a basis of
gold coin and federal reserve notes,
were discussed last night by those at
tending the conference of the national
bank section of the convention. The
discussion followed addresses by Con-

American Association.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, September 81
Recommendations for changes in the
national banking and federal reserve
acts were expected to be made here
today by members attending the an
nual convention of the American Bank
ers' Association. This action was to
come up before the national bank sec
tion following last nights meeting
addressed by John Shelton Williams,
controller of the currency. 1t was to
concern consolidation into the federal
reserve board of the offices and juris-
dictions under the old national bank
ing act that are partly duplicated by
the newer system.
The discussion. it is expected. will
embrace the subjects of immediate
retirement of greenbacks and grad
ual withdrawal of national bank notes
in favor of the more recent reserve
currency, return to members of the
reserve system of part of their sub
scriptions and making membership in
it optional for banks with a surplus
of less than 100000. These subjects
are declared to be among the most
important to come before the conven-
tion

REFORM :
fst Louis Republic.O
Do needed

(St Louis Republic)
 The G. O. F. has reformed. How. and how much?
 The Republican party broke square in two four years ago. on the question whether 1t should be popularly or ganized or dominated by the Administration machine through the rotten borough" system of control. The Administration held the balance of power in the Ma tiona convention by of It's control through Fed eral patronage of skeleton organizations in Southern States.
 There are 10 States in the Union casting IA cleo toral votes which have cast electoral vote for Republican since the carpetbag days. In some or them there is no Republican Congressional or State ticket nominated in the off years The total number of electoral votes is 5S1 These Southern States had 252 votes in the 1912 convention.
 It will easily be seen what leverage the absolute control of onefourth of the delegates iu Republican National Convention gives the Administration machine It was this margin that made T. R. absolute when he said in 19OS By George, if they won't take Taft .hey1l get mel"
 Finally the worm turned When 1t had completed ts revolution the party in two pieces The fathers Ire now busy with attempts patch the severed halves ogether again. Obviously the first question was that ,f Southern representation. That has just been re- luced-by 30 per cent. The vote of the Republican Solid South" has been cut from 252 to 174.
 But this is far from real 30 per cent reform In he last Republican convention the rotten borough Solid South had 252 votes of 1O7S In the next one t will have 174 out of 993 It had 2s per cent. four years ago. It will have 1s per cent. this year The diff terence for practical purposes is small that it would take a surveyor with an instrument to measure it.
 Will tho progressive element of the Republican par ty be hoodwinked by any such transparent hypocrisy as this The control of the convention by the Admin nstaton the machine without which Taft could never have been nominated, and whole brood of con sequences could not therefore have ensued-s practi caIy as absolute as 1t under the old rule.
 The reduction of sham Southern representation by per cent gives. in newsboy parance something tC holler" The reformers get their reform. The Admin istration machine retains its immortal cinch It Is tho opinion of the medicine men that everybody ought tC be happy Do the progressive Republicans want the substance of reform will they be satisfied with tho shadow?

NOT A REFUGE OF wAsTREIs
fChlcago Heraldl

The assumption of British comedy and action of nearly 100 years ago as to the character of the man who takes the kings shilling continues to color popu- lar impressions about the military services of the Unit ed States Even some readers of the Herald have writ ten about our army being recruited in the sums and as largely composed of human scum.
 short news item giving summary of the work of the army navy marine corps recruiting offices in Chicago for the year 1915 ought to help to put an end to such scandalous misudgments of the character Of the men accepted into these services They show that Is lot harder to obtain the privilege of wearing Un cle sams uniform than join the most popular social and fraternal organizations whose responsibility is nev CT questioned.
 Out of about sOOOO applicants the army acceptei only 26OO. Out of nearly 2OOO wouldbe sailors only 75S were accepted Out of $500 who wished to join that oldest of our national forces the marine on ly 414 were admitted.
 The military services of the United States are not
 refuge of physical units moral degeneates or econ omic wasrels It is really time that the notion they are should be ended and the circulation of the islander should cease.
