Unified Banking

Before the Delaware Lawyers AS
ISOLATION in Dover recently, r. M.
Miller, Jr., assistant cashier of the
Federal Reserve Bank, of Philadel-
phia, gave an instructive address on
Unified Banking" He said:
Congress very wisely made pro-
vision in the Federal Reserve act for
the admission of State banks and trust
companies because men of forward
vision, clean thinking ability and con-
structive administration were satisfied
that a unified banking system was
needed and that it would be possible
to operate such a system successfully
We know the value of privileges offer
ed by the Federal Reserve system to
its members and are interested in our
State institutions to the extent that
we would have them enjoy these privi-
leges through membership.
Charter rights of State institutions
are not interfered with by membership
in the system and necessary require
ments for membership are only rea-
sonable and such as belong to safe
business and are possible for every
bank to meet. The duty of every in
~corporated bank to stockholders and
depositors, as well as to the Federal
government for money employed in its
business, is sufficient reason for mem
bership of all in the Federal Reserve
System.
"Protection against shortage of
money and panics incident thereto, as
provided by the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, is enjoyed by non-member banks
also and places them under obligation
to the system.
estate banks and trust companies
which are members, are absolutely
satisfied with their direct association
with this system, which in spite OF
criticism, has proved it's value to oul
country, not only for war financing
but as a powerful agency, contributing
to the growth and development of oul
enormous volume of business"
The Penn's Grove record., 1920-10-15
Damned Either Way

President Wilson is called the boss
of "bosses' of the United States, and
such a Superman should be eliminated.
Constant repetition makes parrots who
never stop to think that the President
is chosen by the constitution to be the
commander in chief of the Army and
Navy and not pass his official duties.
Five more months and his term is
ended, but in the meantime, it should
be thought that he would not be called
to attend to private business.
This week, in compliance with the
request of the anthracite miners, he
has called a conference of miners and
operators ver wages.
Next comes the farmers appeal to
the "Nation's Father" Representa-
tives of the agricultural industry met
in Washington, D. c., last Tuesday and
protested to the Federal Revenue
Board for money. They want higher
prices and more money for their
wheat, corn and hogs. The consumers
want lower prices.
So, you see the President is damned
if he does, and damned if he does not.

Boston Greeks to Wilson

Boston, Mass, Oct. THE Demo-
cratic League of Citizens of Greek De-
scent, through its President, N. J. Cas-
savetes, has sent this message to Pres
ident Wilson,:
"The Democratic League of Citizens
of Greek Descent expresses its profund
admiration for your message to the
people of America on the issue of the
League of Nations. In your noble APP
peal we read the appeal of Demos
themes to the Athenians. That was an
appeal t. sustain Athenian traditions.
Yours is an appeal that we sustain
American traditions. The Athenian
followed Eschines andmet disaster at
Chaeronia. We pray that American
may follow your leadership and avoid
d~ishonor."

WANT SUNDAY LAWS STRICTLY
ENFORCED
Jersey Christian Endeavor Society De-
plores Present Laxity

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 8.-Reso-
buttons "deploring the dissertation of
the Sabbath in New Jersey" and "lax-
ity in the enforcement of the prohibi-
ton amendment" were passed at the
closing session of the annual confer
ence of the State Christian Endeavor
Union.
The Rev. F. w. johnson, of Newark,
who introduced both, deplored Sunday
sports and motion pictures and also
touched upon the alleged fragrant vio-
lation of the Volstead act in the State
in no uncertain terms.
The first resolution further called
upon the christian Endeavor Union
to combat the commercialization and
secularization of the sacred day." 1t
also charged the members to use their
influence with legislators to have re-
jected all so-called liberal" Sunday
bills which may come up at Trenton
this winter.
The second resolution demanded
illOoI IiSiu CllOlICIlSllI VI IIC pIUUl-
bition movement in New Jersey, petit
tioning also that national officials see
to it that the lid is clamped down
tightly in the State.
C. Walter Lofts, of Paterson, was
elected president at the annual cleo
ton today. He succeeds John T.
Sproull, of Arlington, who served six
teen years, and this year declined the
unanimous nomination. Other officers
are, vice presidents, central division,
w. Egbert Thomas, of Milford; north
ern division, Frederick L. Mintel, of
Railway; southern division, D. W. Nc
MILAN, of Pleasantville; secretary,
Miss Nellie K. Foote of Elizabeth; and

Trenton.

Rev. Charles w. Diehl, of Trenton;
the Rev. Franklin j. Miller, of Pater-
son; the Rev. w. l. Shoemaker, of
Pleasantville; the Rev. Frank A.
Smith, of Elizabeth, and the Rev.
Clarence Roberts, of Egg Harbor.
Plainfield vas selected as the meet

The Presidents Appeal

no one exceeds the President in lu-
cidity and cogency Of statement. He
manages to argue a case in the mere
form of stating it. He was never
more simple and convincing than in
his appeal to the American people to
vote for the League of Nations, for
the only means of preserving the
worlds peace, and for the completion
of the work we entered upon when we
took part in the World War.
Every particle of the opposition to
the League is partisan, manufactured
for political effect after the Congress
sional election two years ago raised
hopes among the Republican politici-
ans of defeating the President. Before
that everybody took it for granted
that an association of nations to pre-
vent a repetition of the crime of 1914
must follow the war and would justify
our participation in it. The two Re-
publican ex-Presidents were conspicu-
ously and actively engaged in promot-
ing such a combination of nations,
with power to coerce a recalcitrant ma
ton and to prevent the beginning of
the war. Nobody doubted that that
was what we went into the "a for.
All the opposition to the League has
been worked up for political purposes
since the armitice.-Philadelphia
Record.

Ground Broken for Tunnel

Last Tuesday ground was broken
for the tunnel under the Hudson river.
Lieutenant Harry c. Walker, of New
York, the Democratic candidate for U.
S. Senator, broke the ground with a
glistening pick, and Gov. Edward l.
Edwards scooped up the dirt with a
silver plated scoop. This vehicular
tunnel is to be completed in 1924. The
tunnel and bridge over the Delaware
at Camden will cost SIS, 100000.
The tunnel, with all facilities of a
city thoroughfare, will link closely to
the greatest steamship terminals in
America along the New York side of
the Hudson, with the immense rail-
road concentration centers in Jersey
City.
At the election on Tuesday, Novem-
Der I'd, the people will vote on whether
the State shall issue bonds to the
above amount to pay for the tunnel
and bridge.

Names Memorial Sunday

Washington, D. c., Oct. 8.-Presi-
dent Wilson today directed that on
Sunday, November ID, the American
flag be displayed at half-mast on all
public buildings and naval and military
posts "as a token of the nations par
ticipation in the memorial services
held for the heroic American soldiers,
sailors, marines and others who gave
their lives to their country in the
world war;"
In connection with the order the
President authorized this statement:
"There has been transmitted to me
a suggestion that l name Sunday, No
vember IA, as armistice Sunday, in or
der that the religious services held
throughout the country on that day
must be given an especial note of re-
membrane for the heroic services and
sacrifices of those who died for Amer
lea in the world war.

memories, has acquired additional sig

day of victory followed realization of
loss and the anniversary will bring
with it solemn thoughts to the minds
of every American, memories of brave
men who fell, sympathy for their liv-

viduals, must seek hope and consola-

their lives to their country in the
world war, seems to be eminently fit

suggestion to those who conduct such
services.

United States at all military posts,
naval stations, on vessels and on
buildings of the United States be dis
played at half-mast on that day as a
token of the nations participation in
the exercise. elsewhere held"
