BRANCH RESERVE BANK.

Formal notification has been
given by the Reserve Bank
Board that branch reserve
bank for District Five is to be
located at Baltimore. 1t is a
partial Fighting Of the organiza-
ton juggle whereby Baltimore,
the real commercial, industrial
and financial focus OF District
Five, was ignored and the re-
serve bank placed at smaller
city having less than one-ffth
the financial, commercial and
industrial Importance Of Balti-
more and having no foreign
commerce worth mentioning.
Baltimore accepts the reserve
bank not as the last word in the
controversy, but as move in
the right direction.
A branch bank, after all, is but
a branch bank. A branch bank
located in the city Of Baltimore,
which, as all the rest OF the Uni
ted States knows, is the real
business and financial metropolis
OF Reserve Bank District Five,
VIII continue to b. tributary to
and must in the ca1-up be lost
in the main bank located at
Richmond. No matter how nre-
ponderant part Baltimore may
play in big financial transac-
tions, such, for instance, as the
fiotation of the $2,ooo,ooo,ooo
Liberty Loan, all credit goes to
Richmond. Baltimore does not
even get official mention.
The branch that is to be To-
Gated at Baltimore should be
completely independent. There
is lopsided improperly in OBJ
liging a reserve bank in a large
city ike Baltimore, with for
eign commerce scoring into hun
dreds of millions of dollars, a
manufacturing indushialism cap
italized at more than $4,000
600, and with trade interests
reaching into twenty States, to
do business as an annex of a
main bank in relatively small
and in all respects a lesser BUSH
ness and financial center than

WHO ARE THE REAL
PATRIOTS?

Who are the real patriots at
Annapolis? This question is
now being asked by the people
of Maryland who have followed
up the workings of the Legisla-
ture since the fight last week on
the war loan measure, when
those supporting the administra-
ton were claiming to be on the
patriotic side of the controversy,
while those opposed to the adj
ministration made similar
claim.
In the beginning of this fight
it appeared six Of one and half
dozen of the other, but so much
politics, and politics with big
"P," cropped out on the part of
the administration crowd, though
denied at the time, but since
brought to the surface, that one
is more inclined to believe that
the real spirit of patriotism was
on the part Of those who OPP
posed the administration. The
position of the administration
forces on the Soldiers vote bill
and Wilson ballot law repeater
convinces one that there must
have been at least some politics
which actuated them in their
position.
The Soldiers vote bill and
rider attached thereto repeating
the Wilson ballot law is sup
ported in the House where the
real fight took place on the war
loan measure by the same men
who opposed the administration
in that measure and is being
fought by the same men who
backed up the administration ir
its original fight on the war loar
bill. What is the significance 81
this? What must it mean? Ii
our judgment it means nothing
more nor less than there wa.
politics in the original fight fol
the administration, and that il
now comes out in full view O
the public. While no one doubt!
or can doubt but that every maj
in the Legislature of MARYLAND
is a true blooded patriot whei
it comes to the question OF de
Tending their country by wor,
or action, but all of their patriot
ism cannot take away from
working of the present Legis
lature that politics was mixed III
in the administration fight OF
the war loan, and now on the
Soldiers vote bill and Wilson
ballot law repeal rider.
The war loan measure has
been settled to the satisfaction
OF all parties, with the faint Of
politics removed. The latter
measure is still hanging FIRE al
this writing. The real patriot,
in our judgment, is the Legis-
lator who will not only vote to
give our soldiers in the trenches
the right to vote in the trenches,
but to give every citizen of this
great State the right to exer-
else the right of franchise free
and untrammelled from any
crooked methods or devices
such as produced or have been
the result OF the Wilson ballot
law.
