The Inconvenience incident to the

The issue is clear. Governor Cox

eve Must Not Forget We
Owe Debt to Wounded"

Many elements have made our Re-
public enduring; not the least of which
is a sustained gratitude. The richest
traditions of our land are woven from
historic threads that tell the bravery
of our soldiers of every war. They
make the first impressions of history
upon the minds of our children and
bind the hearts of generations together.
Never in all time will the performance
of our soldiers in the late war be sur
passed. From farm, forest and factory
they gathered together in the training
camps-from countryside and city
men whose hands were calloused by
labor, others whose shoulders showed
the stoop of office task-the blood of
many nations flowing in their veins
and the same impulse ran from the
front trench in Europe back to the
first day in training.
We must not forget that war breaks

''Federal Reserve Act
Constructive Legislation''

The Federal Reserve act was origi
mated, advocated and made law by q
Democratic President and Congress-
against the bitter protests of the Re-
publican stand-patters, who almost
without exception voted against it.
Among these men are the familiar
names of Senators Lodge, Penrose and
Smoot, the inside Senate cabal respon-
slble for the existing status in the
leadership of their party. The Fed
eral Reserve act is admitted to be
the most constructive monetary legis-
lation in history.
AT stroke it transferred the power
over money and credit and all they
represent from one financia! district
out into the keeping of the people
themselves and instead Of one center
to which all paid tribute there are
twelve citadels of financial freedom
where every citizen has an equal right
and where the principle that the credit
of American business shall be free is
the basis Of administration.
Every citizen should be alert to
guard this great institution which is
his guaranty of credit independence.
1t should be kept from the hands of
those who have never been its friends
and who by changes in few obscure
phrases could translate it into
greater power for evil than it ever has
been for good. 1t is almost unneces-
sary to speak Of the Federal Reserve
system in connection with the winning
OF the war, as, next to the conservation
OF our manhood and womanhood itself,
the greatest factor was the marshaling
into one unit through the Federal Re-
serve banks of the stupendous wealth
of America.
Improved Consular Service
To those Of vision who look out be-
yond our shores into that commercial
domain where we are so justly entitled
TO enter in a time of peace, latent

of the globe an ever widening flow of

service.
The certain increase in foreign trade
would seem to demand it. This sug-
gests another change. Our ambassa-
dors to foreign countries have had as
signed to them a military and a naval
attache. The staff should be enlarged
so as to include an officer of the gov
eminent whose exclusive duty would
be to make observation and report de-
velopment and improvement in educa
cional and social problems generally.
Government bureaus during the wal
had close contact with the business
organization of the country. That ex-
perience revealed the modern need OF
reorganization along purely business
lines. The advantages Of democracy

has been moro or less demoralized
through financial temptation fr m
other activities which pay much bet
ter. We owe too much to the next gen
Grafton to be remiss in this matter.
Very satisfactory progress Is being
made in several states in the teaching
of native born illiterates. The moon
light school in Kentucky has, in fact,
become a historic institution. The
wealths, and bands of noble men and
women are rendering great service.
Local Self-Government
There should be no encroachment by
the Federal government on local con-
troll. 1t is the healthful, reasonable
individualism of American national life
RpubIic to think for themselves, and
besides, state and community initiative
would be impaired by anything ap-
preaching dependence. The central
government, however, can inventory
the possibilities of progressive educa-
ton, and in helpful manner create an
enlarged public interest in this sub
ject.
There will be no attempt in this
campaign to compete by dollars with
our opposition. So many people have
been in the morey-gethering bust
ness for the reactionary cause that the
millions already in hand are more or
less a matter of general information.
All that we ask is that both parties
deal in the utmost good faith with the
electorate and tell the plain truth as
to the amounts received, the contribu-
tors, and the items of disbursements.
The public judgment in elections
should be rendered after the fullest
hearing possible.
Each side has the right to properly
present its case. This is a legitimate
expense. There is no narrow divid-
ing line between the legitimate and
illegitimate in political campaigns.
One contemplates the organization and
maintenance of such facilities as
are necessary to advise the people of
the facts bearing upon the issues;
the other carries the deliberate pur-
pose to interfere with the honest rem
dering of verdict.
How misguided some of our people
are! Recognizing that readjustment
must be made, they believe that they
Will fare better if they cast their
fortunes with those with whom they
dealt on the base of campaign CON
tributions in days gone by. They do
not sense the dangers that threaten
The sort of readjustment which will
appeal to our self-respect, and ult-
mately to our general prosperity, is
the honest readjustment.
Any unfair adjustment simply de-
lays the ultimate process, and we
should remember the lesson of history
that one extreme usually leads to an
other. We desire industrial peace.
We want our people to have an abd-
ing confidence in government, but no
readjustment made under reactionary
auspices will carry with it the con-
fidence of the country. If I were
asked to name in these trying DAYS
the first essential overshadowing every
other consideration, the response
would be confidence in government.
