issues of the groap held up well I'M
der the pressure and operators aban-
doned their eqorts in this direction by
attacking the industrial groups. This,
however, met with little success. That

oil group was well known, as large re-
filming companies make more money
from iow-priced than high-priced

Second Hour
Stocks showed an improved tone

in oils in the second hour. With
pressure lifted from this group, the
rallying tendency became more pro-
nounced in the main body Of stocks,

them as the guardians OF other peoples property.
They treated their banks as if they were ordi-
nary factories or ~shops-things TO be sold by the
owners TO any buyer who offered a satisfactory
price. That was to ignore the fact that banking
is different from most other business in that it
both promises and for success depends upon hon
esty and skill on the part of those carrying it on.
Eepositors trust less to steel vaults than to the
character of the men managing a banks affairs,
and their relation TO a bank is quite unlike that of
customers 10 n butcher or n grocer. A change in
the management therefore has a vital interest to
them. and they have a real grievance when a man
of whom they know nothing and have no reason
10 view with confidence is substituted after no
consultation of their preferences, for those whom
they selected to be the keepers and users of
their money.
Probably it would be impracticable to let de-
positors, as such, decide. or even vote on, a pro
posed transfer of bank ownership, but there might
he good arguments for putting such transfers I'M
der federal or state supervision, just as arc the
investments and loans of every bank.
With all that has gone before serving as an
example, it is very certain that a person like
Marcino should not he able to go about the country,

Abjue Paterndlism - Deuclop Indi-
pidua[isnl.

AMERICAN people, the great majority of them,
II want less bureaucratic supervision and more
individual freedom oil opportunity, less govern
mental paternalism and more individual self-re-
lance. And it is not only the soundest states
manship, but the wisest politics for the Republican
party to take a definite stand for a return TO the
principles of the Fathers of the Republic in this
regard.
on this very subject, Senator Greene of Yer
mont recently had something to say that is bene-
fetal both to the party and to the people regard
less of party. And among the things he said are
these:
ain my judgment, the Republican party can do
more 10 rehabilitate itself, to say nothing of that
greater duty of rehabilitating the civil estate of
the nation, by coming out squarely on a platform
that unequivocally harks back to the Constitution
and the policy of the Fathers with regard to these
latter-day evils of Capitalization, bureaucracy, pa
ternalism.
ut is true that here and there in some parts of
the land there are elements of such radical dispo-
sition as would fight us on that issue. But that
is nothing new. That issue always did make a
fight in all ages, everywhere. The point is that
we have been running along for several decades
making concessions to the element that demanded
this Capitalization, bureaucracy, paternalism, in
the hope that we would keep that element quiet.
And, faithful TO the lessons of history that ele-
ment, instead of being kept quiet, has simply fat
tened and grown lusty on what it fed upon, and
now demands more and more and will not be salts
fled.
"Therc is a constantly increasing number of
people who may have been led away a little at first
by the utopian dreams of the Missionaries, but who
are now realizing the urgent necessity for a re-
turn TO the constitutional government and are
simply waiting for leadership to line them up for
it. There are hundreds of thousands of Democrats
who deplore the tendency of the Wilson admins
tration towards this socialistic form of govern
ment and who are anxious to bring their own par
ty back into line with the old policy once moro.
IF, however, they are disappointed with that, they
will join with any h~igh-minded element in the
country in a new effort perhaps to make common
warfare against the radicals.
"After all this gradual slipping back to the old
world idea OF Capitalization. bureaucracy. pater-
nalism, the pendulum of public sentiment is pois.
ing for its return swing.
off we are wise as politicians, as statesmen, as
patriots, we will take advantage of It,"
