WOOD UNNECESSARILY BLUE

Washington, January 3O.-(Special) According to Representative Dent, sec ond in command on the committee on military affairs, the most interesting testimony adduced during the week was that of Gen. Leonard Wood former chief of staff of the United States army.

This de- spite the preparation entended through out hundred years.
 Representative Nichols of South Carolina, hearing MT. Dents comment. declared that he would be in favor, if Woods opinion was based on fact, to vote to abandon all heretofore accom- plished projects rather than support the preparedness" programme.

"The Supply of Gold Is
 Not Important After AIT said the man who thinks away from under his nose. '"The gold mines of the world might be exhausted tomorrow wall the yellow metal on earth might be thrown into the sea-and yet in little while, after brief paroxysm of fear doubt and indecsion, bus N ness and all the other affairs of life would readjust themselves and physical symbol of exchange would come into being For the metal which is dug from the bowels of the earth is but the type and shadow of the everlasting rock of real gold upon which the traffic and commerce of the universe IS founded-and that is honor, otherwise known credit and as character.
 ssWithdraw honor, and the whole fabric of busi- ness would collapse, matter If the yellow metal, the material gold, were piled sky high in the market place. J. P. Morgan, the great banker, recognized this fact when he said the moral risk the thing to be considered in all transactionsn other words, character is the best of all collateral
 Character is collateral with the Trustees System of Industrial Banking. We afraid of risk which will stand the acid of the moral test; and perience iustifies faith Since we have been in business we have loaned thousands and thousands of dollars to wage workers and salary earners the collateral of character, and we have yet to lose a dollar.

He has been a master politician, but he
has refused ever to play politics with
the destiny of his country. The Amer
lean people are waiting for the leader
to be named here in Chicago.
They want leader whom they know
and who speaks for them. They want

They want courage to announce a pro-
gram and tenacity to fight it through.
There are millions of patriotic men
cago and praying that the two great
parties in convention may unite upon
man who will get things done. They
nave been reading speeches on pre-
for dreary .months-only to learn at
last that we have no rights except
those we are able to enforce. and that
we are not now prepared to enforce
even the right of an American citizen
to live within raiding distance of the
Mexican border We learn that more
Americans have been killed keeping
peace with Mexico than were killed in
lighting war with Spain.
Not Time for Criticism.
ut would be easy to denounce the
present administration and the failures
of the democratic party to serve the
HdtlOnlI "eHare ana the international
obligations Of America. Criticism and
denunciation are the commonplaces of
political controversy. But we believe
this hour is worthy of nobIer pur-
pose and of a better method. We re-
member that there have been deeper
problems and perplexities presented to
our government in the past two years
than at any time for half a century.
and that they were presented to men
for the most part ill-prepared in train
ing or skill for such responsibility.
Some of the responsibility for their
errors is upon us all. 1t is for US to
see that the future shall be better than
the past and it is in that spirit rather
than in one of partisan criticism that
we approach the duties which lie be-
fore US.
THE nation waits for that leadership
to come out OF the Chicago conven-
tions which will restore to ourselves
and to the people of other nations that
respect for the American government
which is essential to the well being Of
nation. 1t is no time for a divided
opposition. 1t is no time for one party
to offer to the other a partisan choice.
1t is a time when wise leaders will
listen to the voices of the nation to
choose their nominee. And those voices
now repeat one name. If there was
