That The money question is the is
sue is no longer sincerely denied.
Thomas b. McAdams, president Of the
American Bankers association, has
sounded the warning, Recently. in adj
dressing the Texas bankers, he said:
When you see men Of such OUT
standing success al Thomas A. Edison
and Henry Ford seriously advocating
bringing into play il this country the
instrument which, perhaps, has produc-
ed more chaos than the war itself in
Europe that IS. the printing press for
creating money ii Is time for the con-
sentative business men TO wake up and
say MOI IF the silver movement,
which at least proposed a concrete me-
tallic basis for money. was rejected as
unsound. infinitely more important Il
it 10 reject plans proposing intangible
credits as a currency basis.
Banker McAdams considers it all
right, Of course, for the printing press
is print national bank notes, federal
bank notes and any other kind Of pa
per money as long as the bankers can
control it, initiate il and debate it as.
their greed may induce them to do.
The printing press. however, in Eu-
rope and the world at large, is not re-
sponsible for the chaos in money mat
tiers: a conspiracy of the gold monop-
olists is The source and tap root of the
trouble. And when the wctimized ma
lions wake up to that diaboGc iniquity
they will make short shrift Of the gold
standard and may be of the ntena-
tional bankers conspiracy 70 boot!
Intangible credit. as Banker Nc
Adams calls II. i Ill right with bank
ers as long as it puts manufacturers,
merchants. farmers and workers in gen
eral into debt slavery to the bankers
combine, but it is all wrong when i
Gberates The people from the usurious
yampyrism Of that wolfish clique whose
sabotage on the credit job brot destruc-
i've ruin ID the country's business and
public affairs for the past tifs years.
Ii intangible credit is good enough
With The bankers when backed by Sc
curity accepted BY the bankers, then
that same security is a good enough
basis and foundation for a credit sys-
tem carried on directly BY the people
thru i system Of mutual banks, operat-
"a 1t cost, throwing the professional
bankers in the discard as was done
with The liquor dealers thru the prohi-
bition amendment. Let US put stop

tured their own raw materials into fin
ished products. They built their own
houses, spun their cotton and wool into
cloth, tanned hides into leather, made
shoes and harness, produced their wa
gons and furniture. canned their own
fruit, made ham and bacon. In fact,
they lived practically independent Of
each other. Relics Of those days are
Today strongly in evidence here IN the
South; because they are the last to
pass from their own home factory into
The large manufacturing centers like
the North, they are offering us oppor-
tunities to establish ourselves on an IN
basis by still knowing how
to do all these home industrial activl-
ties. But that's another story. To-
day these little commonwealth are all
broken up the cloth weayers have
passed into the big Industrial plants
and are now wage workers, where they
own no job but are paid just what their
masters will give them for their daily
service. With modern machinery comes
larger industrial plants that can pro-
duce more efficiently, more abundant
" and also place the wage-worker IN
tc closer slavery TO his master. Do
any Of you thinkers doubt but that the
ownership of the land will pass into the
hands cf money-changers and people
who have money to invest for profit :
do any Of you thinkers fail to believe

slaves on big scale farms, as the indus
tries are operated now? Yes, it is COM

will. HOWE By buying the land and

Spirits Guided
Railroad Line
Says Builder

New York, June 16.-That ev-
cry foot of the 1000 miles Of rail
road he has built was constructed
according to advice of spirits and
that he changed the direction of
the Kansas City Southern SO as
to have his terminal at Port Ar
thur, Texas, instead of Galveston
because the spirits warned him
to avoid the latter place is the
assertion Of Arthur e. Stillwell,
who says he has been president
of many railroads and was pres
ident for seven years of the Ma
tional Surety company.
Making his revelations last
night at a meeting of spiritual
lists, he said that he had not re-
vealed his relations with the spir-
1t world before because he "did
not want people to think me a
nut"
when 1 was building the
Kansas City Southern / was
warned not to build the terminal
at Galveston, because it would
lead to disaster" he said. "They
told me to terminate it at Lake
Sabine where l built the terminal
of Port Arthur. Four days after
the terminal was completed the
tidal wave wiped out Galveston. "

SOUTH IRELAND
ELECT|NG TODAY

Dublin, June 16.-(By Associ-
ated Press) The voters of South
ern Ireland went to the polls to-
day to elect an Irish parliament
as provided under the terms of
the Anglo-Irish treaty. Under the
recent agreement between the fac
tions favoring and opposing the
treaty, coalition panel of can
didates was presented to the peo-
pie, apportioning representation
in the parliament at approximate
ly the same ratio as shown in
past tests of strength in the Dali
Eireann.
A number of independents,
however, have entered the field
in an attempt to overturn the
panel on the treaty issue, and it
was on this phase of the struggle
that interest mainly centered as
the polling began. Estimates
were that at least 15 of the in
dependents would be successful.
Publication last night of the
terms of the draft of the Irish
constitution, on which the new
parliament must pass, was not ex-
pected to influence the vote. The
comment of the Dublin morning
newspapers today is mostly fav-
orable to the constitution.

The Education of an American
Citizen" DR.. Sisson said he con-
sidered teaching the most Inn
portant OF all the professions.
I'VE have just begun to realize
in this country the truth of Pla-
to's statement: Education is the
principal business of the state, :"
he said. "The most important
thing to teach is the meaning of
American citizenship. There has
been too much loose talk about
100 per cent Americanism' we
must have more real, human, vi
tai, spiritual Americanism in our
Schools" said DR.. Sisson. He de-
plored the short length of serv-
ice of the average teacher and
urged the graduates to stay with
the profession. A teacher in his
fifth year is merely on the thresh~
hold of his real power and abil-
ity, he said.
A total of 164 students have
been graduated during the year.
In addition to these one hundred
have been granted elementary
teaching certificates.
