Government Does Not
Own Reserve Bank.

In the discussion of the Federal Re-
serve banks and their operations, I'M
due emphasis has frequently been
placed on their relation to the govern
ment, and they r frequently called
government banks" AS a matter of
fact, they are not government banks"
in a true sense, but are corporations
organized under an act of Congress,
and owned entirely by their member
banks. The government does not hold
a single share of their stock. The
control of the banks operations Is
also largely in the hands of the mem
Der banks, who elect two-thirds of the
Federal Reserve bank directors, the
remaining one-third being appointed
by the government to represent the in
terest of the government and the pub
lie.
The Federal Reserve banks, it is
true, are agents of the government in
addition to their other activities, and
in this capacity they must follow the
instructions of the government in
handling transactions which they per-
form simply as agents. We believe
that it is important that the fact that
a clear understanding Of this point
should be generally had, as MANY of
the criticisms made against the Fed
eral Reserve banks have been based
on a misapprehension as to their rela-
tionship to the government.-AmerS
gan Bankers Association Journal.

Radical demagogues sometimes &C
cuse the c~apitalistic system with ia
.voring the rich and powerful as
against the poor and lowly. Fifty
three years ago an Irish lad of nine
was brought to the United States by
his parents. He went to the public
schools and then began work as an
Office boy. A few days ago, on Octo-
Der 1, he was elected president of the
American Bankers Association, the
worlds largest financial organization
He is president of one of the largest
savings banks in the United States,
the Bowery Savings Bank of New
York City. This election of William
E. Knox, who has risen from Irish
immigrant to chief of American
bankers, is the most striking remind
er of the year of the democracy of op-
p~ortunity in c~apitalistic America.

"The most annoying thing has hap

to help them in their drive and some
one cashed it. Iss't it a shame, for
simply can't afford to send another"

said Aunt Emmy, "if you made OUT the
check properly"
"Why, of course, | did," Helen said.
az made it out just as I always do, to
bearer"
Aunt Emmy laughed. mo wonder
you lost it," she said. "Any one at
all could cash d check made like
that. It's very careless of you to do
it, no matter to whom the check is
given. It would only take a few sec
onds to write the name of the payee
properly. A check made out to Bear
err may be cashed by any one who gets
it. 1t is regrettable but true that not
every one is honest. You know that
lots of people would take a five dollar
bill if they happened to find it. A
check made payable to bearer or to
cash is just as tempting to them as
a five dollar bill would be-"
"But, Aunty, it was so frightfully
mean to steal from the hospital!"
"You invited this particular theft by
neglecting to make your check out
properly" Aunt Emmy admonished
Helen. "You may be glad your loss
is no greater. Even when you go to
the bank for money yourself you
should not make your check payable
to cash. Suppose you should lose it
on the way?. The same thing that hap
pened to the hospital check might
happen to it. Better take an extra
minute and make the check out to
yourself, sign your name to it as usual
and indorse it just as though it were
one you received from someone else"
THAT seems like a lot of times to
sign your own name on one little
check, doesn't it, Aunty?" objected
Helen.

the safe side than to lose your money
through carelessness," retorted Aunt !

ESQ AMERICAN MARINES
LAND WITH CONTINGENT.

SHANGHAI, Sept. eleven
hundred marines from foreign war
ships have landed in Shanghai, and
taken up defensive positions on the
boundaries Of the international set
Element.
The order for the landing of the
marines followed a new assault in
the railway sector directly west of
the city, bringing the fighting near
er than it had been before in a
week of fighting between troops of
the rival tuchns.
Marines were ordered tc be land
ed as follows: Representing the
United States, 25O; representing
Great Britain, 800; representing ia
pan, 400; representing Italy, 100
At the same time the volunteer
corps was ordered to mobilize at
O'Clock this morning.
Headquarters of General In
Yung- Hsiang, commander of the
Chekiang forces, admitted that the
Kiangsu army launched a heavy
night attack along the railway.
Troops making the attack, it was
asserted, were from the province
of Honan, and were ordered to the
fighting front by WI Pel-Fu, mill
tary director for the Picking gov
eminent.
If this report be true, it marks
the first open participation by WI
Pei-Fu, who recently was Reported
to be preparing to take part in the
civil war.
Chekiang headquarters claimed
that the Honanese troops, despite
the weight of their attack, were
thrown back on Hwangtu, the point
at which the battle started.
Official circles in the interna-
tional settlement do not expect any
difficulty, but whatever happens,
plan to be prepared to deal with
either advancing or retreating sol.
diers. Nssg
Belligerants on both sides have
been warned that armed forces will
not be permitted to cross the settle
ment boundaries. Prohibition also
has been imposed on any armed ac-
tivity in the Whangpoo river (tha
man harbor Of Shanghai), where %
foreign war ships are anchored.

FAKE PROPOSITIONS
COST STATE HEAVILY.
Georgia Securities Commission
Advises Investors to Be Guild
ed By Bankers Advice

ATLANTA, Sept. 9.-Immense
aggregates of money would be still
in the hands Of the persons IN
Georgia who have managed to save
little by little, the competency laid
by for days of need, if only some
banker or members Of the Georgia
Securities Commission had been
consulted before investing in some
prospect" that is strongly boosted
by a glib talker.
The banker is an unbiased referee
in such matter, and, if he is
qualified, he will keep informed
upon some of the thousands Of fake
propositions by which many lose
their all, in the opinion of members
of the Georgia Securities Commits
sion. The commission was created
by the Legislature several years
ago to protect the public as far as
possible from wildcat promoters.
All licenses to sell stock must be
passed upon by members of the
commission. Permissions is given
only to legitimate concerns, proper
" organized.
All that is necessary in cases
where inveiglmg salesmeni are pre-
Isenting a prospectus Of some prone.
Using investments, members of the
commission state, is to retain ono
of the well-worked documents with
remark that before making any in.
vestment the matter will be investi-
gated.
In such case the salesman, IL
his cause is legitimate, will readily.
acquiesce to the idea, and will.
cheerfully call upon the banker to
help the matter, it was pointed out.
The banker will take his time to-
render a decision, for, it. was as
serted, it is not to his advantage
to encourage any wildcat PROPOSE
ton and he will protect his deposit
tor to the full extent.

tain of victory, while in Taylor
county indications are that Land
will also be winner.
Brick Miller, who is consider
