the industries of the country, is the
charge made by Senator James E.
Watson of Indiana, and it has startled
the National Capital.
For the ptesent he confines his

appointed by the President Here
it is:
Stuart Chase had general charge
in Chicago of all the investigations
of the meat-packing industry. and

married in 1915 and together with
his wife, spent their honeymoon do

investigation of social character in
Rochester, N. Y. They collaborated
in writing a book called "a honey
moon Experiment" which plainly
shows the socialistic views of each.
Since that time he has been of a
great contributor to magazines and
newspapers of a socielistic character,
and has written many articles against
what he is pleased to call capitalism.

the express purpose of furthering
the doctrines of socialism. About him
in the Federal Trade Commission
headquarters, were grouped such men
rs Victor Berger and Irwin st. John
Tucker, both of whom have been in

men devoted to the destruction Of

ideals of>socialism.
Samuel w. Tator, who. with Stuart
Chase, had general charge of inves-

Cheney.

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 20.-The stock
holders of the Wage Farmers Savings
Bank held their annual meeting of
the bank, at which time President
L. E. Williams rendered his annual
report. The report, which was very
heartily received by the large num-
ber of stockholders present, showed
that during the twelve months, end
ing September 80, last, the institution
had increased its assets by $241, ,266.26
and had added more than four thous-
and depositors in that period. This is
a net gain over the increase of the
preceding twelve months of $74,014.4S
and a gain of 1,700 depositors over
the total number of new depositors
secured during the preceding year.
The bank now has combined assets
to the amount of $779.2S5.00 with
more than fifteen thousand depositors,
distributed over twenty-eigh states.
1t is the largest and probably the
most widely known Negro banking
institution in the world.
The bank was started with re-
sources of $4,000 and in the nine
teen years of it's existence has in
creased its initial assets seven thou
sand six hundred and forty times.
Each year it has declared a dividend
of twelve per cent. 1t has been the
largest and leading Negro financial
institution of the state for years and
has promoted many of the< more
prominent projects in this city among
Negroes. 1t is at present the chief
promoter of the Consolidated Realty
Corporation, a half million dollar
concern which is developing the block
on West Broad street, adjoining the
bank, in which a hotel, department
store and theatre will be built and
which gives promise of being one Of
the largest and most successful en-
terprises ever launched by Negroes
anywhere.
Recently, the interests of the bank
have been extended to several out
of town projects. The foremost of
these are the million and a half
dollar Peyton apartments taken over
by Negroes in New York City, the La
fayette Theatrical Syndicate which
conducts chain of Negro playhouses
in the Middle West and East, and
several living houses recently erected
in the North for Negroes.
Since closing the last annual state
ment in September. the bank has
added up to date $21000.0O to its
assets, and if the present rate of in
crease is maintained throughout the
next eleven months it will surpass
the million dollar mark by September,
1920.
The bank is headed by L. e. Will
liRms president; Sol. c. Johnson,
vice-president and R. A. HARPER,
cashier.

Springfield, ILL.,, NoY. 2O.-In a
mass meeting of the Republican Edi-
torial Association of Illinois, held
here, at which Gov. Frank o. Low
den was strongly endorsed for. Presi-
dent, one of the principal speakers
was Will H. Hays, chairman of the
Republican National Committee. The
address of Mr.. Hays had a post re-
markable ring of true and vital
Americanism. He said in part:
"The Republican party. guaranteed
by its past, underwritten by its pres
ent, will measure its future steps for

Let all well wishers of good gov

squarely; correct the cause where
