Relation and Prosperity.

In an address At the Central Y NJ
c. A., Philadelphia, Roger w Babson
founder and president of the Babson
Statistical Organization. Wellesley Hill
Boston, recently Standardization and
business are both based on the fact
that men trust each other. Man was
lot civilized until he could trust his
elbows and man could not conduct
business until he could trust his asso-
'!ates, But it is mans religion that
makes him worthy of trust. Religion,
therefore, gives us safety in business.
And more than this il is the source of
Inspiration in business, It causes men
10 develop and create. Periods of
prosperity are due entirely to mans
better individual outlook on life. And
when we have an exceptionally pros
porous period we can be sure that it
is caused by one of two things Either
mans outlook has been changed by
suffering or, as 1t usually Is, II has been
changed by religion" These observa-
tions are most interesting. More and
more is the worth of Christianity in
Ill the affairs of life being recognized
The Church is gaining ground

FORT GAY, W. VA.

As the old year has passed away
and gone and we are entering into an
, other new year will write a few lines
to the Big Sandy News as it has a
welcome in every home in the Sandy
valley.
Rev. Lawrence Dickerson of Ches-
line, Ohio, who has been visiting rel
atlves and friends in Fort Gay and
Louisa returned to his home last week.
IIC was a native of Wayne county but
lett in 1856. People OF Fort Gay were
certainly glad to have Rev. Dicker-
son and wife with them again. He
preached very interesting sermon at
Baptist church. -.
Rev d. l.. Reed and wife have just
friends and relatives. at Portsmouth
and Columbus, Ohio. j..
Mrs. Addie Price returned home

Glad to say that little John Hardin
Is better at this writing. 'r
Sorry 10 say that uncle Richard
Wellman of this place has passed away
from this world TO be with Jesus He
died last Sunday morning at the home
of Mary WEIGH after about 2 months
Of great suffering. The Lord trans
planted his life from this world to be
with Jesus. He said before he died
that he was ready TO go any time the
Master called for him. e.. II
Mr.. Wellman was citizen of Wayne
county and had lived long life He
was near the age Of 10 years, He was
taken to Paintsville, Ky, Sunday for

A dispatch from Marion, Ohio, to

A dispatch from Marion, Ohio, to the
daily newspapers says Senator Chas
Curtis, Republican whip" of the Unit
ed States Senate, will introduce a bill
amending the Federal Reserve system.
zi6 had been in conference with Mr..
Harding when the announcement was
made, The amendment. or rather the
death blow to this greatest of all our
Jaws. provides for doing away with the
Twelve regional banks and substituting
one central bank"
This means returning the control of
money into the hands of the bunch of
pirates commonly known as Wall
Street vultures 1t means return to
normalcy. 1t means the end of safety
from panics.
Before the Federal reserve system
came into effect, the twelve thousand
banks of the United States were forced
to keep reserves in certain authorized
banks in New York city, giving those
Bankers such enormous and dependable
deposits that they ruled and owned big
buBiness, manipulated markets, crush
ed competitors. staged panics, purchas-
ed elections, and committed all sorts of
acts detrimental to public welfare
The IL Federal banks took this pow
ser away from New York bankers Now
each district handles its own money,
paying no tribute to New York The
dead money tied up in reserves has
been released to the extent of one half
or more of the former amount Panics
&. ARE Impossible Money is flexible in
supply, instead of the opposite condi-
ton under the old law which made it
to contract when expansion was need
ed and to expand when contraction
should have occurred
Now it is proposed to centraIize
money control at one point instead OF
Twelve with one board of directors in
stead of twelve boards These direc-
tors will be named by the power be-
hind the throne. Instead of twelve
boards distributed throughout twelve |
districts, each board composed of far
ners, commercial men and bankers |
equally divided, we are threatened with |
one central board of directors, doubt
less to be composed entirely of bank
=ers-
No greater calamity could befall this
country from a business standpoint.
The people must send up such pro-
lest that Congress will be afraid to
perpetrate this demand of the bosses.
The people can scare Congress into
doing right If they will assert them
selves. Otherwise the chances are not
good.
Gov Cox and others warned the peo-
pie on this matter, knowing the men
who were fighting to get hold of the
But the voters failed TO
1sce the danger.
