Society PaDes Way
For Dress Reform
Campaign in City

A plea for the assistance Of the
mothers OF tho nation was made by
Mrs. Myrtle Gleason Cole Of Fargo in
Commercial club rooms on Monday
afternoon. IF daughters were given
to understand that the so-ca1led Paris
fashions, which they strive SO hard
to initiate, are not fashions followed
by the well-bred ana refined women
of France, out the creations in which
the women Of the underworld revel,.'
Mrs. Cole stated, perhaps there
would not be the continuous snors
skirted, silk-stockinged, b~ob-tailed
parade Of both old and young on the
public thoroughfares of our American
cities"
Mrs. Coles talk at the mass meet
ing of women, representing the most
prominent women's organisations in
Grand Forks. was made possible by
the Service Star Legion. It was for
the purpose Of arousing sentiment in
the coming dress reform campaign,
which the Service Star Legion is soon
to conduct
Judging from the warm applause
with which Mrs. Coles address was
greeted, the Service star Legion will
have considerable support in its efforts
towards creating an interest In more
modest dressing among the girls and
women Of Grand Forks.
It was suggested al I the Monday
meeting to call a meeting Of the local
high school girls at some near date,
when krA Cole could speak directly
to the girls, expressing her views and
presenting the Arguments in favor OF
the more modest dressing movement.
Other societies to whom MrA. Cole
will perhaps, talk r the Grand
Forks County Nurses association ana
the Grand Forks Business and fro-
fessional Women's club.
MR-H. K Chidlaw Is chairman o.

local Service Star Legion, and on the
committee she Il being assisted by
MesdAmes W. e. DeLong, l. a. Car
ter, Andrew Peterson, William Crom-
bic, Ella Jarvis and G. ". Duncan.
There was an informal social hour
following the meeting and members

tee served light refreshments. Over

ance.

Len SMALL FIRST
He Is Governor of Illinois Sec
ond, Says Family.
Pressure by Relatives Caused
Abandonment of War Plan. ,

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE sud-
den collapse of the war" plans OF
Gov. Len email, of Illinois. was due to
family pressure. It was learned here
today.
The governor, it was reported. has
abandoned all plans to delay his trial
on charges of misusing $2,500.O00 in
state interest fund.- and to test the
legality of his arrest. In this decision.
the governor entirely ignored the
wishes of his legal advisers He fl
nalIy surrendered, his intimates said.
to the pleas of Mrs. Small and LEM
bers Of the family.
His Wife Much Disturbed.
You are Len Small first and govs
ernor of Illinois next was the atti-
tude of his family. The strain of his
family, it was said, had seriousl. con-
cerned the governor. Since the issu-
ance of bench warrants for the gov
ernor's arrest, Mrs. Small has gone
into retirement at the family home
in Kankakee. 1t was her wish, it was
said. that the gov rnor abandon his
war plans and go into court with
Nthe sole purpose Of repudiating the
charges brought against him in the
Sangamon court.
The governor, thru counsel. late
yesterday accepted the offer of States
Attorney C. Pred Mortimer. to a
change of venue from this county.
The acceptance VAS based on four
clauses, the principal one of which
retained the right to file any future
action on any phase of the case ex-
cepting change of venue.
All four clauses were accepted by
the states attorney in a reply made
public here. The states attorney de-
clared his first offer had held no
CATCH" the governors counsel hav-
ing taken exception to certain word
ing.
Decide on September 6.
Mortimer also agreed to the COVER
nor's suggestion that the attorneys for
both sides agree upon another county
in which the case shall be tried. He
announced that Judge Z. S. Smith.
who issued the bench warrants for
Smalrs arrest, would designate the
circuit Judge to decide the petition
for a change of venue. This petition
will be heard Tuesday, September s.
The jurist will be either Judge Frank
w. Burton or Judge Norman L. jones'
The habeas corpus proceeding.
which the governors counsel had in
sisted would be his trump card" is
apparently abandoned by the chief
executives most recent move. His
attorneys however, retained the right
to file this action in asking for the
change of venue. The states attorney
also agreed that the governor had not
waived his right to this action. The
test" however. Is nova very remote
poss; bility.

RAINS CAUSE FLOOD IN OTTAWA
Santa F'e Branch to Lawrence Washed
Out-Afarais Des Cygnes Flooded.

Santa F'e Branch to Lawrence Washed
Out--Marais Des Cygnes Flooded
ottawa, Kan, Aug. las the re-
suit of a waterspout in the north end
of Franklin and Douglas counties last
night and freight wreck west of town
early this morning, Santa Fe train
service was badly demoralized here
today. Estimates of rain fall north of
here last night run as high as seven
inches.
A quarter of a mile of track on the
Ottawa-Lawrence branch near Vim
land was washed out, preventing trains
running this morning. Seven cars of
a freight train eastbound are off the
rails at H-U tower, two and a half
miles east of town. No. Is, westbound
thru train, is held up here and the
morning plug from Emporia stopped
west of the wreck.
As the result of the heavy rains in
the north end of the county, creeks are
out of banks and roads covered in
places. The Marias des Cygnes reach
ed the 15-foot stage at 10 O'Clock and
was rising at the rate of a foot per
hour, but little flood trouble was
feared here. The rainfall in Ottawa
amounted to only 10 of an inch.

GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS.

Persistent attacks on the federal re-
serve banking system continue to ap-
pear in certain quarters. 1t has been
proposed to remedy some of the evils
complained of by increasing the size
of the reserve board by making the
secretaries of agriculture and COM
rnerce ex-officio members, along with
the secretary of the treasury and the
controller of the currency.
The reason given for the suggested
change is that the board as now con-
stituted places too much authority in
thu hands OF bankers who permit the
credit facilities of the country to be
utilized too freely by eastern finan-
cial interests for speculative purposes
instead of putting them at the dis
posal OF legitimate producers and dis
tributors.
In the entire history of the federal
reserve system there is nothing to
bear out this contention. Credit has
been dispensed impartially with no
group or interest profiting over any
other as a result of bank policy.
Federal rates of rediscount have been
published for every federal bank, and
for all of them these rates have been
closely in accord for the entire banks
existence. If rates charged by MEM
Der banks have been exorbitant the
blame does not attach to reserve bank
officials. Their charges are in no way
subject to reserve bank regulation.
The published rate of rediscount is
one below which member banks can
not with safety continue to lend, but
there are no means by which this rate
may be made to serve as an upper
limit as we'll
1t is the almost universal opinion
of those who have observed the oper-
alton of the federal reserve system
during the past six years. that it has
suffered rather from too much con-
nection with the government than
from too little. The close tie between
the banks and the treasury doubtless
played an. important part in permit
ting the recent movement of initiation
to go as far as it did and perhaps still
more with the delay in changing the
policy and forcing liquidation.
The fewer the genuine political rep
resentatives in the SYSTEMS governing
body the better and safer it's admin
istration is likely to be. Credit con-
trol is not function that can prop
erly be performed by government Of
ficials constantly holding one ear to
the ground.
Too much government interference
in banking is likely to prove no less
disastrous than has it's meddling in
other lines of business.
