the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Answering its own question the Mem
phis newspaper takes a most optimis-
tic view OF the future and dismisses
II with the assertion that there seems
to be the smallest possible reason for
worry. But such an attitude is 4
shortsighted one. While there may be
small reason to worry. for the Ameri.
can people are optimists, there is
abundant reason for study, deep
study and far seeing preparations Cor

Lord Robert Cecil of the British
cabinet thinks Germany is trying to
influence American public opinion
toward a tolerant attitude of German
purposes and aims. He need not
bother himself with such thoughts,
for the American public has adopted
the attitude expressed by Senator
Lodge a few days ago when he said,

ever satisfy u.s."

HOUSE DELEGATION.

There win be two changes in Ten
nessee's delegation in the next house
of representatives as q result OF the
recent primary. William Taylor, re-
publican, will succeed Alabama Dick
Austin, republican, from the second
district. Sells was renominated by
the republicans OF the first district.
Both the first and second districts
are largely republican and no demo-
crat has been elected from either
since the late Bob Taylor achieved
that distinction just forty years ago.
Since then several republicans in
Guiding pe.tibone, Anderson, ALI
Taylor, Brownlow, Massey and Sells
have sat from the district. 1t is a
difficult matter for a republican in
either district to retain long lease
on his seat. Conditions are little
better in the second. Austin has
served ten years and he succeeded
Hale who had but two terms. Gibson
sat for ten years and was retired.
Only Walter Brownlow and Leon.-
Edas Caesar Houk have died as mem
kbers from the two republican districts
since the war. Both, during the
height of their political careers were
the bosses of the republican party
in the state. 1t is said that Austin
aspired to the same distinction rs
did Hale. Brownlow died in the four
teenth year of his service and Houk
was in congress sixteen years when
through accident he took dose 81
poison and died.
The only change in the democratic
delegation will be in the fifth district
where Judge Ewin l.. Davis, one Ct

to confront this nation after the war
as we are certain to win 1t.
1t Is true that America has suffered
no such economic disturbances as
have befallen the nations OF Europe
and that our problems will not be
those of material reconstruction. The
returning armies, as the Memphis
newspaper says, will be quickly as
simulated by the industrial forces OF
the country. Industries probably will
continue to throb with afterwar or
ders just as they are now working
overtime to fill war orders. These
favorable conditions are the bright
scenes on the panorama of the future.
But it is fallacious to say that we
will have nothing to worry about after
the war.
| After the war America is going to
experience the greatest political trans
formation that has occurred since the
creation of the Republic, and it Is
going to take some sound and earnest
studying, If not some actual worrying,
on the part of the nations statesmen
and citizens to bring about safe
passage through that transformation
period. This is not meant to forbode
calamity. Far from that. The new
America ought to be brighter and
better home for freemen than ever
before And 1t will be, If the journals
and statesmen and deep thinking
citizens don't fall into the error of
thinking that everything will take
care Of itself.
Socialistic principles will have
more believers after the war than be-
fore. That does not necessarily mean
disaster. But it will be disastrous If
some socialistic principles are permit
ted to gain ascendancy too rapidly
and II others are permitted to become
commonly held. America is not ready
for an overnight adoption Of social
ism, but there will be more believers
In Socialism in America after the war
than ever there was before. Many of
them are going to be veterans of the
armies that will return. They are 60
ing to be ferceful leaders who will
press their views, not as destructive
radicals but as men who will inspire
confidence in their opinions and win
followers to their cause. This brings
before us a problem that we must
study, and, il need be, about which we
should worry.
To what extent shall the thought OF
America be influenced by the soldiers
returning from Europe and to what
extent should public opinion be 80 in.
fluenced for the welfare of the ma
ton? 1t would be absolutely foolish
to hold that no such influence will be
felt. Former soldiers are going TO
dominate politics as well as business
in America for two generations or
longer. Our faith in the men who are
fighting for the preservation Of the
major principles of liberty causes us
to feel confident that in civilian life
they will be as safe to depend upon
But there is no reason to believe that
the transformations that are to follow
the war will be wrought without ser
ious study, and even severe clashes
between political parties.
1t is all right to be optimistic and
to hope for the best. But it is wrong
to shut our eyes and cultivate false
idea of security regardless of AN
avoidable conditions.

out it received yesterday. The heavy
selling may not have resulted from
liquidation of weak accounts, but it
most assuredly did establish short
interest, thereby giving the list some
support that it would otherwise not
have enjoyed.
SO far as gossip goes there was no
indication of any let-up in the control
of money: it was not offered with any
more freedom. nor did the rate show
any depreciation.
Pressure on the Rails.
Immediately on the opening the list.
with few exceptions, started on a
small rally, due largely to efforts of
shorts to cover their contracts and take
in profits. The gains did not reach ma
terial proportions.
Before the end of the hour some
pressure on rails and evidence of re-
newed selling caused an easier feel
ing. the strength in shippings, oils
and motors and the strength in South
ern Pacific checking the weak spell
and bringing some recoveries.
New Low for Steel.
Just at fl o'clock the market SEEM
ed inclined to softness, when Steel
made its new low on this
movement, 9S3s, and fractional recess
sions were noted elsewhere.
Then the change for the better came
again and for two hours it was a rela-
lively firm market, with slow frac-
tional recoveries, but with no mate
rial gains.
Coppers and standard rails seemed
to show the best strength, while Mex

EARLYCLOS|NGHOUR
OUTLOOK UNFAVORABLE
BY I. A. FLEMING.

From replies Of different banks to
the question as to their willingness
to go on record in favor of closing an
hour earlier. it would seem as II the
proposition would not be favorably
acted upon at the next meeting OF
the District of Columbia Bankers AS
sociation.
Many banks seem perfectly willing
and anxious to close at 2 o'clock.
Some even would consent to the early
closing, provided a fair number of
banks agreed to do the same. others
are insistent that it shall be gener-
ally adopted or not at all.
The need for early closing still ex-
lists. but not to the same extent as it
did sixty days ago.
Help of the kind needed by banks is
much more plentiful; the elimination
of unsuited help from banks and hll-
ing the places with those qualified has
also expedited work.
Moreover, the banks are enjoying a
breathing spell just now that will
probably last until the LIST of January,
when the work of the new year will
keep employees busy from then on UNI
til the coming of the fifth liberty loan
campaign. In the meantime there Will
be applications from some of our fight
ers for reinstatement. which will
further increase the supply Of expert
assistance.
The court yesterday authorized one
of the heirs to the property at 18th
and I streets to accept as her share
'one-sixth of the bid made for the prop
erty by the Liberty Savings Bank. This
completed the transfer OF the corner,
slbject only to clear title.
The stock of the Liberty Savings
Bank was listed on the local stock
exchange today, and called" for the

conditions the outlook is more en-
couraging.
Bank stocks figure rather promi-
nently on today's session of the local

tional, 1S5, and American Security and
