CHAIRMAN CUMMINS HLITMINAT-
ING STATEMENT

from becoming a party issue. 1t has been
recognized by them that the question is
one of too great moment to be decided
pro or con merely because it may be taken
up as an issue by one party or another 1t
should be decided merely as a matter of
right or wrong without reference to what
party or what individual may be for or
against it. We believe that very few if
any of the opponents of the proposition
have had their course determined by the
fact that it has had the presidential sup
port. On the contrary, all signs indicate
that it has been supported by very many
because it is advocated by President Will
son. Such people have used every effort
to make it a party policy, the policy of
the party of Free Trade, and largely be-
cause they see in it long stride in the
direction of Free Trade.
Chairman Cummings of the Democrat
ic National Committee, has come out
squarely in favor Of the League of Ma
tons Covenant as party policy of De-
mocracy. That party is going to appeal
to the nation on that issue. That settles
it. The League of Nations Covenant has
been adopted as party policy by the
party Of Free Trade. And that settles
both the covenant and the party.
Doubtless Mr.. Cummings thought he
was threatening some dire calamity when
ne intimated that if the United States
Senate should reject the League of Ma
tions Covenant, President Wilson would
be a candidate for reelection. Glory be!
We hope that the Free Traders go to
the country on the issus of the covenant
and that Mr. Wilson may be the candi-
date But, before he permits his party
to commit suicide, Mr.. Cummings had
better read few thousand of the letters
received by Senator Reed endorsing his
stand against the betrayal of our country,
into alien hands.-American Economist.

REMARKABLE RECORD OF BANKS
While railroad forces have increased
and they are burden on the taxpayers
under government operation, banking
has paid heavier taxes, redered greater
service and has not increased fees.
Banking rates of interest have been
lowered during the war period, and the
volume of community work has doubled
and trebled, for nearly every bank be-
came headquarters for war drives.
OF course, no one thinks of bank as
being conducted except on strict business
lines, and no one stops to give bank any
particular credit for anything it does for
the individual or the community.
But assured of healthy banking condi-
tions, and an abundance of MONEY! and
credit to meet all natural and legitimate
requirements, industrial enterprises
throughout our country can proceed with
confidence and security.

Most people go through life confusing
causes, effects and unrelated circum-
stances and drawing wrong conclusions
from the tumble Because Shakespeare
was a poacher does not mean that you
can become a second Shakespeare by

However nOn-material you may be,
don't ever let any wild-eyed dreamer con
vince YOU that the possession of money is
undesirable. He merely means he can't
get it.
There's nothing half so sour in life as
the awakening from loves young dream.
Don't expect too much of your friends.
