"A Banking Nation

COMPTROLLER CRlSSINGER'S address
- at Gainesville, Fla, was delivered be-
fore the Bankers Association of that State,
and dealt in the main with the obligations
ana opportunities of the bankers themselves.
But that is not to say that the address is
lacking in popular interest. On the contrary,
one portion Of it should be of special signif-
canoe to all Americans-not so much be-
cause 1t presents any really new or start
ing truth, but because it directs attention
to fact Of high economic Importance that
is too often ignored.
That fact, without elaboration is set forth
in the following sentence: 81 mean that the
American habit of depositing In the bank
and of making payments through it conSt-
tutes the most effective possible mobiiza-
ton Of the credit resources of the country"
Few of us, perhaps, realize how largely this
American habit" contributed to the ma
tons wonderful response in the emergency
that thrust upon Americas shoulders the
financial burden OF the world war. "If our
banking system" says Mr.. Crissinger. had
not been equal to that strain, the burden
would not have been carried, and the re-
suit might have been very different" But
1t was equal to the strain, and not altogether
because of the excellence of the system it
self; popularizatiOn of the banks as Mr.
Crissinger points out was a tremendous fac
tor.
The comptroller declares that the United
States is the leader among nations in the
proporttonate number OF hank depositors.
That is fact not to be viewed too exclusive
~ as result or effect Of great national
wealth; it must be considered also as one
OF the potent causes OF wealth. The bank
depositor is happily described by Mr.. Girls
singer as "a contributor to the great fund
OF community credit" These contributors
fortified the country for the financial side
of its part in the war; today they are keep
ing in a state OF mobilization the credit re-
qurcd for the country's Industrial and COM
mercial recovery. They are performing an
important community service, in most cases
quite unconsciously, and at the same time
laying or strengthening the foundations of
their individual personal fortunes. Bank
patronage should be understood more clear
- as part of effective citizenship

the message Of enrichment to the people
themselves. ana 1t Is tho rightful part of no
ono to question what the pooplo may under
take on their own account. In its simplest
terms we have in this movement an inteli-
gent. wclldirccted effort to create among
the people OF the State clearer understand
Ing of their community needs. u stronger i'm
pulse toward meeting those needs and or
ganzed local efforts to that end.
Upon what aspects of community life
Will special emphasis be placed? The an
swer may be found in the following main
divisions OF campaign interests: rural
schools, rural health. roads, the church, the
home and agriculture. In short, whatever
IS OF vital concern to the people, whatever
fundamentally affects their community life,
will come within the field OF this Statewide
campaign And that aspect of the campaign
which Is richest in promise Of great accom-
piishment is that it is not to be Il campaign
among the people, but of, for and by the
people; from their local organizations, their
united effort their loyal, intelligent cooper
alton in this movement for Il better Virginia
must come splendid contribution to the
common good.

Fortune With the Blantous

wv HEN John Nance Garner, Democrat,
w representing the Fifteenth Texas Dis
trict in Congress for the past twenty years,
got up in the House the other day and, at
ter bitter speech denOuncing his fellow
Democrat, Thomas Lindsay Dlanton Repre-
sentative from the Seventeenth Texas Dis
trct for the past SIX years, declared that he
expressed the mind of 433 other members of
the House when he said that Blanton was a
disgrace 10 the lawmakng body and ought
TO be unccremoniously kicked out, the pub
lie naturally jumped to the conclusion that
Blantou's political future had been cffec-
tually cooked" by this exposure OF his un-
popularity with his fellow members, and that
his Texas constituency would take the hint
and vote an imperative mandate for him
10 stay at home at the end of his present
term.
But this attack upon their Representa-
tive appears not to have lessencd their re-
gard for him in the least. On tho contrary
ii is freely predicted that he will be re-
nominated and reelected by an Increased
majority. Not only so, but the chances are
that the Democrats of the Thirteenth Texas
District will re-enforce Blantons sinking
cause by sending his sister, Miss Lucy Webb
BlantOn, present State Suporinte ndent OF
Education. to Join him in Congress Re-
Gently J.. w. Parrish, who represented that
district in Congress, lost his life in an auto
mobile accident and special election has
been ordered 10 fill the vacancy. Miss Blan-
ton has announced her candidacy for both
the unexpired and the regular terms, and
the political wiseacrcs of the State are
pretty generally agreed that she will win an
easy victory for both terms She has been
twice elected State Superintendent OF Edu-
cation by overwhelming majorites and,
judging by her past popularity, these polit-
cal forecasters have accurately read the
signs OF the times.
SO, instead Of Bianton being driven out Of
Congress by his fellows. fortune seems TO
be about TO do him the splendid turn of
sending another member of the same family
10 help him bid defiance to his enemies
When Lucy Webb Blanton takes her seat
by his side as the ConGrcsswoman from the
Thirteenth District OF Texas not even the
Game Cock from the Rio Grande distric, will
have the temerity TO point the finger Of
scorn at him.
