good? That is not enough. They car
rightfully tell us that, even though
system may minister to our physica
well-being, If it stunts us morally, II
] 1t does not positively make us better
officially, it is an inadequate system
The general answer to this asser.
ton is obvious. The very fact that
our industry, commerce and finance
serve us so IMPLY with the materials
and means for physical well-being
gives us the opportunity to build and
support our churches, to foster the
arts, to develop our great educational
system,-to be kind to one another.
But need we deal in generalities?
Do we not find in the direct effect of
our business upon the individual
much to improve his ethical stand
ards? To tougher his moral fiber?
Is 1t not good for the personal char
acter of the race to do business as
we are now doing it?
Let us take the business of bank
ing, for example. is 1t mere mech
anism or Is it vital moral force?
Does 1t do more than, by facilitating
production, raise the physical stand
ard of living, or Is there anything
Of banking that raises the moral
standard of living as we'll?
Nine-tenths of our business Is done
by means of credit. The great bulk
Of that credit is obtained from the
banks. 1t is obtained from the banks
because men have character,-be-
cause they are honest, because they
keep faith,-because they can be
trusted.
If they did not have these qualities
they could not do business with
credit, they could not do business at
the banks. We say banks deal In |
credit That is but way of saying |
they deal In honor and honesty. They |
build the business structure with the
faith of man in man.
The part banking plays in our bust
ness life Is growing That means
that the faith Of men in each other
is growing. The more men who come
to the banks with characters that en-
title them to credit,-the more men
who realize that to gain credit at the
banks, they must possess themselves
with characters hat win them un.
questioned trust he higher becomes
the ethical standards of the patton.
Is not this great N raj service
that banking renders? IL is a greatAr
justification for our present financial
system than even Its wonderful eff
cheney In providing us with the ma.
terial things of life. No greater serv.
ice could be rendered the nation.

Both Parties Grid for Battle
In Maryland During Week
Democrats. Announce Platform Based
Strictly on Defense of State
Rights; C.. @. r. Is ActiUe.

Of local option laws, IL desired: the
republicans will insist, first and fore
most on the enforcement of laws
now on the statute books.
The democrats promise, IL feasible,
reduction of state taxes: the repub-
licans win allege they did not fulfill
such promise fairly when given OPP
portunity.
C. o. p. Pianks Positive.
According to those in the know,
however. the republican platform is
not to be negative in it's nature or
restricted to attacks on the demo-
cratic regime, but is to make positive
pledges of performances on several
important lines. Attention will be
given to the subject of education
promise will be made to conduct the
states business for the benefit of
the people, rather than "the ag-
grandizement OF a particular political
party" or machine.
"Gov. Ritchie says the republicans
have no honest issue we shall pre-
sent more than one honest issne to
the people, says Attorney General
Armstrong, and these issues are
described as important and COM
Ipelling." -
Just as the democratic platform
was written i'm the main by Gov.
Ritchie the republican platform will
be the work, primarily. of Mr. Arm
strong.
Dry forces in Maryland will con-
centrate on efforts to control the
Legislature, according to an announce
ment made this week by the head
quarters committee of the MARYLAND

Senator Walsh. In this statement.
did not go into the issues, but mod
estiy stated that he felt his record,
during twelve years fncumbency, en-
titled him to consideration and that
he. would be glad to serve again. Thus
far there is no avowed candidate
among the democrats against MIR.
Walsh. and it Is possible he wSii enter
the primaries unopposed. Ten months,
however. intervene before the prI-
maries.
The national conference for progress
sive political action began formal op-
erations in the state this week, when
Benjamin c. Marsh OF washington,
d. c., addressed a meeting at Mis-
soula. d. c. Dorman, formerly prom
inent in the National Non-Partisan
League, preceded Mr.. Marsh in the
state, arranging for a series of meet
ings for this movement According
to Mr.. Dorman, the conference will
take an active part in this state In
1924, but whether a third party will
be launched, is not known.
Thus far the republicans have not
taken public action on state or ma
tional tickets, although there is said
to be activity beneath the surface.

Political leaders. republican and
democratic, ,stormed Springfield. the
| state capital, last week on the ccoa-
sion. of the state fair. and many deals
fwere' arranged, the important result
being that the tracks are now prac-
tically clear for big operations. There
was no truce between the warning
republican faction headed by Attor-
I.ney General Edward j.. Brundage and
the forces of Gov. Len Small. The
weeks developments indicate con-
clusively that Illinois has ahead of II
one of the bitterest and most spec
tacular political battles ever staged.
Big campaign funds are being raised;
the rival managers are already In
dulging in personalities to an extent
that encourages the democrats to ex-
pect that the republican party will be
hopelessly split and the next governor
VIII be a democrat.
While the candidate who will OPP
pose Gov. Small in the republican pri-
mary has not been chosen, it seems
probable that Attorney General Brun-
dage viii have to make the big fight,
and II will be such an intense strug-
gle that presidential politics will be
subordinated. There lis little talk now
ABOUT the next candidates for Presi-
'dent, all of the excitement being over
the gubernatorial race.
Back Lowden Again.
The Rrundage- -Deneen- Grove rep1b-
leans will get behind former Gov.
Frank Q. Lowden if he is a candidate
Tor the republican nomination, and
his friends here believe that he will
represent the middle west i'm the
great. national contest The Thomp-
SON ll-Lundin forces will get be-
mind any one opposing Lowdcn.
Otherwise they may decide to let ma
tional politics alone and try to put
Gov. Small over for a second term.
