Z REAL LIVE ISSUE

John shelton Williams. the comm,
troller Of the currency. is giving new
life and inspiration TO the guaranty Of
bank deposits
Mr. Williams has been banker.
and he is said to be one Of the great
est financiers that has ever occupied
the Office OF The comptroller OF the
currency, SO ii is safe to say that this
guaranty would not hurt, but would
help every bank in the country
1t would be a nationwide benefit.
for il would make financial panics and
bank failures impossible, and would
save thousands and thousands of our
citizens from bankruptcy and ruin.
The leaders of democracy have for
long time demanded it, and it has
been one of the planks in the national
democratic platform for many years.
Mr.. Bryan, during the last session
OF the Florida legislature, made an
address TO both houses in joint ses

With faith there is nothing impos-

Moses led the children or Israel

the people followed their leader.
When their faith waned, calamity be

their leader. God smiled on them and
they were cared for in that their ev-

So must the American people place

A BIG COMPLIMENT

congratulations 10 Bro Aarris Of
he Ocala Banner on the way he clean
ed up and knocked our the NeH York
Herald in his comparison OF Lincoin's
and Wilson's cabinets. We read it
all in The Herald, which had the good
newspaper sense 10 feature Mr. Har-
ris letter on rs editorial page. The
reply Of The Herald wa weak. necn-
9equent ana pirlng II completely
begged the question ami was Obvious
" afraid OF thu ISSUE The writer oil
the Herald article was either an old
man who thinks along prim ana prop
er conventional lines OH everything
relating to the civil war and would
hold it treason to entertain al origi-
nal thought on the subject, or a young
man under the spell OF that great
mass of highly-coIored History fiction
and romance that has grown up
around the leading figures Of that pc
riod.
IN either case he needs to learn
that when comparisons are instituted
between the men Of the past and the
men of the present, the glamour OF
sentiment must be stripped away
from the former as an cbscuring and
distorting veil. hurtful to truth and
fatal to fair appraisement The diff
ficulties surrounding the cabinet of
President Wilson are at least several
times the size of those which sur
rounded the cabinet OF President Lin
coin, and there isn't a reason in the
world for believing thai Lincolns adj
visers could have better discharged
the cabinet possibilities of today
than Wilson's advisers ere doing Mr.
LincOln's task, large as it was, hadn't
half the magnitude and complexity OF
Woodrow Wilson's task and the same
is equally true Of the two cabinets
We enlarge those men of civil war
days because we look at them through
the sOftening and magnifying haze OF
time and exalted station. but their
contemporaries did not so regard
them and abused them as fiercely as
the critics now do Wilson and Baker
and Daniels
We also congratulate Editor Harris
or the way he trimmed Henry Wat
terson because of his recent illtimed
and unjust attack on President VIII
son and revealed the Louisville editor
to himself as the victim Of his own
pique and offended selfeteem AR
Watterson is now old ana garrulous
and much given to repeating himself
"a phrase-maker for the most part
when he mounts a hobby and we adj
wise him to fight the enemies Of his
country and let the president OF the
United States alone Woodrow Viii

BAk ER'S DEFENSE

The Commoner says that Secretary
Bakers defense is more than com
plete. 1t gives the secretary immeas-
urably stronger position that he oc-
cupied before the attack He has not
only siIenced criticism but he has
taught his critics lesson. They will
hereafter know better than to make
public letters of complaint without
first consulting the war department
as to the facts A friend of the adj,
ministration would do this without
waiting for a lesson.

Some day the Henry George single
tax theory will be put into practice in

suit in more lands being owned and

present system the man who improves

holds the unimproved lands gets os
