The Terror Plot

The plot to assassinate government officials
and men prominent in business and professional
circles by bombs calls for only one answer: HEMP
and bullets for the radicals who are striking at
the American government
This country may be tolerant It was so fol
many years while German propagandists and
plotters sought to undermine our morale and
wreck our nation.
But it also believes in strict accountability,
evinced by the stern and relentless manner in
which it curbed the Huns in this country.
The latest manifestation of the workings of
radicals, seeking to kill members of the cabinet,
Judges, and leaders in business and the profess
sions calls loudly for drastic punishment of the
evildoers. The time has passed for good nat
ured tolerance of bomb plots and forbearing at
titude toward the men who engage in them.
There are no mitigating circumstances. The
hand of tyrant does not rule this land, infring-
ing upon the rights of the people, forcing them
into poverty by exploitation, and denying them a
full participation in the government. Here the
people are kings. They are the government.
There is no reason why hand should be raised
against the republic And the anarchist and
Red" who tries to assassinate an officer elected
by the people should be forced to pay the supreme
penalty for his attack on the representative of
the people.

sioners. John Addington, George Hob
man and John Cox, fixed q site about
three-fourths of mile north OF Cen
terville, but the county court refused
to accept this, and appointed three
other commissioners, who fixed It as
above.
A court house for temporary use,
OF logs, was built, and a log jail. Then
q permanent courthouse Of brick was
constructed, and the town was in,
corporated. the earliest In the county.
The citizens now looked to q long
career OF prosperity for their village.
But they were disappointed. Gen.
terville wanted the courthouse, and
in the midst Of bitter strife, secured
the passing Of an act, In 1916. which
authorized its removal to the latter
town The act provided. however. that
Centerville must provide buildings az.

government, as those which stood az
Salisbury.
The buildings at Salisbury were tax
en- down. and the town rapidly went
to decay. Building material, espec4al
" brick, were too precious to waste.
so they were brought to Richmond
and the bricks in the first building
on the southeast corner of Main and
Pearl streets, now Main and Fifth.
were brought from The old courthouse
at Centerville.

Why the Victory Loan Must Not Be Left to
the Banks

Great damage to the business interests and
the national welfare is bound to arise if the banks
of the country are either permitted or forced to
buy the greater part of the Victory loan issue.
The disposition here and elsewhere to look upon
the banks as the medium to absorb the Fifth Lib
erty loan must be curbed at once, if the whole
country, employer and employee, is not to suffer
from the consequences of this folly.
Rey B. Westerfield, assistant professor in the
department of political economy, Yale University,
in an article in the Annalist says: eff the banks
are forced to subscribe to the greater part of
the Victory Loan there will follow reduction of
quidity of assets rise of the price level decrease
of bank credit available for necessary revivifica-
ton and stimulation of industry
He says the banking safety is threatened by
the financial Stacking of men and women who will
not do their duty toward the last war loan of
the government In his discussion of the fact
that the subscriptions by the banks will reduce
the Iquidity of their assets Mr.. Westerfield
says: Deposits of commercial banks are demand
liabilities. The deposits of member banks with
the Federal Reserve Banks and the Federal Re-
serve notes are likewise demand liabilities of the
Federal Reserve Banks which must stand ready
on the instant to redeem the Federal Reserve
notes in lawful money to meet the drafts of the
member banks and to discount such rediscount-
able paper as the members may offer for sale.
But the cash kept on hand and with it's reserve
agent by any bank is nearly equal to the sum of
its demand liabilities. It is, therefore necessary
that large part of its earning assets consist of
items which can be converted into cash very
readily. The safety of our banking system hangs
upon this liquidity of assets.
'This leads to consideration of second
strong objection to asking the banks to bear the
burden of the Fifth Loan, viz, that it will cause
initiation of bank credit and with consequent up
lifting force on the price level. The strongest
objection to the financing of war by bond issues
