How Better Than Pills :?

The question has been asked: In
what way are Chamberlain Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one hardly
realizes that it is produced by medi'
cine. Then, they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite ano
strengthen the digestion.

IT IS THE LAW

A MOVEMENT has been started in
"A New York City to eliminate from
moving picture and other theaters films
that hold up the prohibition law to ridi-
cule, jokes at the expense of that law,
and derisive remarks concerning those
charged with its enforcement. Manag-
ers of theaters and movie houses are to
be invited to conference looking to
action that will ''inculcate respect for
the Constitution. The suggestion is
well timed. Regardless of the merits
of the prohibition amendment to the
Constitution, and of the laws based
upon it, they should be enforced until
amended or repealed. Relief from an
obnoxious statute is not to be obtained
in its violation. Strict enforcement is
the surest way to bring home to the
public whether they want the law con-
tinued in force or repealed. If the
decision is adverse it is an easy matte,
to elect Members of the Congress who
will enact the necessary corrective
legislation. Just at present the prohibi'
ton laws have precisely the same status
in our criminal code as the laws against
murder, robbery, and arson. The Off
GERS of the law ale charged with the
equal duty of enforcing them all, ano
it is the duty of every citizen to lene
his aid in preventing violations.

"The Federal Reserve System should
be free from political influence, which
is quite as important. as its independ-
ence of domination by financial COM
binations." But the Old Guard in the
Senate is again assured control after
March 4, with Republican House
and Republican President. The lead
ers of the Senate are men who favor
ed the Aldrich plan and voted against
the Federal Reserve Act. They do not
feel the need of direct authority under
the Chicago platform to return to "the
original Republican programme OF
single central bank"
1t is dangerous move, for it threat
ems the very foundation Of the FEEDER

THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
IN DANGER.
fFrom the New York World)

iFrom the New YORK World)
During the Presidential campaign
Gov. Cox repeatedly gave warning OF
purpose among Senator Harding's
political hackers to undermine the
Federal Reserve Act. Senator Curtis,
Republican whip of the Senate, fresh
from conference with Senator Hard
ing, now confirms Gov. Cox's charges.
The scheme, openly fathered by
Senator Curtis, as he describes it,
"will look to establishing the original
Republican programme of single CEN
trail bank with branches" This Is
nothing less than the Aldrich plan OF
single central bank which was re-
jected at the time of the adoption OF
the Federal Reserve System. 1t is the
kind of central bank under the con-
troll OF large private financial inter-
ests that Republican standpatters III
the Senate advocated and sought to
establish. Because they were welded
to the idea Of central bank, they
voted, with few exceptions, against the
Federal Reserve Act. Evidently their
homes have been revived by the events
of Nov. 2, 1920.
There is nothing in the Republic
can platform to justify this pro-
gramme of destruction. AT Chicago the
Republican Party cautiously declared

WHY A PANIC rs IMPOSSIBLE

(From the Minneapolis Journal)
Not infrequently we hear persons
who have given no considerable
amount of thought to financial and
business problems predicting that this
country is going to have a panic. On
the other hand, Governor Harding, OF
the Federal Reserve Board, writes thai
1--WE cannot have panic. His reason
ing, of course, is not new, but it should
be repeated at this time and the sub
stance of it understood more general
ly.
Governor Harding compares finan-
cial panic to a panic in theater,
caused by sudden fear and rush
for insufficient exits. A business paic
occurs when through fear, deposit
tors all rush to get their money out
of the banks at the same time. Banks
normally have ready to pay out about
twenty per cent of their deposits on
any day, and can live only by lending
the remainder at interest. They form
erly had to meet panic demand by
selling notes and securities on fall
ing and disorganized market. If they
failed in this they went down. drag
ging with them business houses de-
pendent on their banking facilities.
The Federal Reserve system pre-
vents panics by providing market
for notes and securities held by banks,
to which they can 60 when depositors
make an unusual demand for money.
Being able to raise the money i'm
and without loss to them
selves, they can meet all demands.
The fear of depositors that they can
not get their money is thus removed
and the cause of panics destroyed.
Having the gold reserve of the Gov
eminent and Of all the national and
other member banks in its care and
limiting issue of notes to transactions
in sale of commodities, the Federal
Reserve banks are always able to meet
such demands. .-
Even the prophets of evil, those
foul birds Of the financial world, are
rendered harmless by this wise de-
vice.
Governor Harding thinks no cause
for gloom exists in the present slowing
up of business and in the movement
of prices toward normally. When the
fall has gone to the right point, he
says good buying wave will set in
and better times will be with us. He
thinks the present situation cannot
hold long, for America has abundant
goods to sell and they are needed
everywhere.
Governor Harding is right The
Federal Reserve system stood the
shock and strains of the war and
is withstanding the strain of present
day liquidation as well. We should

TREY LACK A LEADER.

Every good citizen desires the sue
cess of the Harding administration.
Up until the last year President Will
sons policies had enough Republi-
can support in Congress to carry them
through. and it is to be hoped that
the Democrats will not interpose par
tisan obstruction to the policies of the
Harding administration.
But even generous treatment on the
part OF the opposition will not insure
its success.
The Republicans have no leader who
can command an undivided following.
Senator Penrose talks as though he
intended to be the power behind the
throne. The Senator has fall COM
ing to him.
