Washington, Jan

Washington, Jan. 4. XTTHEN Carter Glass was a boy, play. ing baseball on tie sandlots at Lynchburg, his nickname was Pluck" Even now the new Secretary of the Treasury receives letters. from com panions of his youth, beginning Dear Pluck"
 He acquired the name during a ball game with boys from a village across the James River. The visiting team did not play according to the rules of Hoyle, the Marquis of Queensberry or ihe National Commission and aroused the ire of Player Glass of the home team"
 Player Glass stood it about as long as the courtesy of the homo grounds demanded Then he seized the lone hat which had been used by both teams, stood at the plate, and invited attack by the entire team. The visi- tors argued a while, but did not at tack, and presently retired to the north of the James River.
 If the name of Pluck attached itself to Glass from that day so, too, did & reputation of being a whale of a tighter when you get him started"
 Comes Forward Retiring
 That's what he is. Retiring to a marked degree, Mr. Glass has gone through & long career In politics, never seeking a light, but generally coming out on top when forced into one. The late Ollie M. James. United States Senator from Kentucky, who served in the House with Mir. Glass, referred to the Virginian as & snap ping turtle" Senator James said that Glass was a. quiet and harmless look ing individual when let alone, but mighty dangerous if you poked your finger at him.
 The same spirit that caused him to defy the rival ball team carried He has not been one of the f1ashy members of Congress who seek public attention by all manner of speeches or the floor or the introduction of bills and resolutions designed to in- terest the press gallery.
 Garter Glass put his name in Ameri- can history five years ago, when he fought his way through Congress with the Federal Reserve banking act, and saw that great measure enrolled on the statute books just as he believed 1t, should have been written. without sokers or ambiguous provisions.

 Both boys went to France carry frr the summer Neither knew where the other was billeted. Both were ordered up to the front line" without having seen each other.

statute books, denounced Glass and his bill.
 It since has come to pass that Mr. Vanderlip has made a manly retrac- ton of his attack on the bill, and stated that without it there would have been panic at the outbreak of the war; that MT. Warburg until re- gently had a large and happy share in the administration of the act; that some political leaders insist that the Glass bill is merely a slightly altered form of the Aldrich bill.
 These later developments are aside from the story.
 The chairman of the Banking Com mtttee stood between two fires. There were the radicals in the Democratic party who demanded what amounted to "corn-tassel currency" and who were not backward about airing their views. On the other side, were the ultra-conservative who desired the A1drich central bank scheme. Glass insisted upon a middle ground, and he triumphed.
 Thumbs Down-Thumbs Up!
 When opposition to the bill, within his own party, threatened to endanger its passage, MT. Glass prepared to fight. Radical views which threatened to alter the principle of his bill be- came so pronounced that the safety valve on his fighting spirit was re- leased and he exploded. He shouted defiance at a. Democratic caucus on the bill stood his critics on their heads and before finishing had them applauding his views.
 Members of the House seldom, If ever, had heard him speak. Demo- crats listened, spellbound, that night. and when the caucus adjourned he was forced to walk through a long lane of his associates eager to grasp his hand and pat his shoulders.
 That speech was Glass's greatest effort. He had 8. hard task to get his bill through the House, but never was he forced to fight as he had been at the caucus. He saw his bill amend ed by the Senate, but still he was calm. He went into conference with the Senate committed, fought down every Senate amendment, and his bill, enacted in it's final form, was Virtually as he wrote it and as he in tended it.
 When leading bankers and students ot finance appeared before the com mittee they were amazed at the chair mans thorough knowledge of his sub. 1ect. It is not recorded that Esany or the witnesses obtained an advantage over him in a debate

Now. if you were O ask Mir. Glass to confirm the above account of the Federal Reserve acts preparation, he probably would deny that he had 80 great a part in it's preparation. It is more than likely that he would dis claim the authorship and tell you that the bill was written by Woodrow VII, son: but MT. Glass's modesty cannot transcend facts.

A friend told US this
story:
The other evening |
left my 'Aivver' in front of
the club. 1t got dark and
there were no lights on it.
When | came out and real
lied l had forgotten the
lights, l expected to find a
notice to appear at such
and-such a precinct and
deposit. Instead, some
friend had gone to the
trouble of lighting my
lamps so as to keep me out
of the police court"
As a matter of fact it
may have been kind
hearted policeman who lit
the lights. Most of them
are more anxious to keep
US within the law than to
collect fines from US.
Be that as it may. we'd
like to find the man re-
sponsible for the above
thoughtfulness. We always
have room in our growing
organization for men
whose hearts are in the
right place.

FEDERATION Will
STAND FIRM FOR
FAIR WHEAT PRICE

INDIANAPOLIS. July 14.-Accord-
ing to General Secretary Taylor of the
Indiana Federation Of Farmers, asso-
Citations, the organizations will stand
firm in the fight for what it consid-
ers a fair price from the millers and
grain dealers for this years wheat
crop. He declared the reasonable
handling charge" for wheat as pro-
vided by the United States Grain Cor
poration was the big issue between
the producers and the grain dealers
and that the figures for operation
costs as outlined by Secretary c. B.
Riley Of the Indiana Grain Dealers
association would not bear close in
spection.
I'm number of places where the
costs Of handling the wheat have run
up to 16 cents on the bushel, accord
ing to the figures of Mr.. Riley, frac-
tons of cents have been added here
and there, without corresponding al
lowances." said Mr.. Taylor. I'VE are
only looking for square deal in the
matter and have sent the overhead
expense items as tabulated by the
grain dealers to the federal govern
| ment authorities. When we notified
government officials that we were
receiving only s2.11 for No l wheat
in Indianapolis, they wired US that
something was wrong Without com
| ment, we forwarded to Philadelphia
| the so-called overhead expense given
us upon our request by the grain
dealers association and we are con-
fident that a recheck of the figures
| will show that the farmers should be
getting from to cents more on the
| bushel
I'VE have heard from one grain
dealer at Delphi who says he can
make per cent on his investment in
buying wheat If given a margin of
cents as his handling cost. Eight
cents and 16 cents and a fraction
make considerable difference. Unless
an adjustment is made we expect to
put the matter up to the government
officials for final settlement as pro-
vided by law. The board of directors
of our federation will meet here on
j Tuesday and we will go deeper into
the matter at that time"
