local railroad station is set for We'd
nesday, Dec. 20. To close the station
would mean that hereafter anyone
who wished to receive freight would
have to go to the next nearest open
station, which, at the present time,
would be Nickerson or Bruno. But
how long will each of these remain
open? If they closed both the others,
the alternative would be Askov or
Superior. Consider it! A prelim-
mary hearing was held at the bank
Tuesday evening. Another will be
held on Monday evening, Dec. 10. Ev-
eryone is urgently requested to bring
facts and figures, no matter how

ONE WAY TO RESTORE
CONFIDENCE

There is only one way to deal with
national hysteria such as precipitated
the temporary breakdown Of the
banks. 1t is to offset it by calm rea-
son, official guarantees and practicable
methods. What the people most of all
need just now is elementary and COM
petent instruction in the banking
business. They should be told by men
and officials in whom they have con-
fdence why it is that all the banks
cannot at the same time pay all their
depositors. Their money is safe, If
safely invested, but cannot be turned
over on demand without gripping
business and defeating the very pur-
poses for which banks are created and
chartered. If enough people could be
persuaded of the folly, both personal
and public, of rushing to the banks
to draw out all their money, we might
see a mass movement, as has been
witnessed at other times of financial
panic, to take back funds to the banks
for safekeeping and for beneficial pub
lie use. Root out senseless fear and
restore confidence, and the thing is
done.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-03-16
CLOSING THE BANKS

The swift and decisive action of
President Roosevelt in declaring a
banking holiday for the nation was
undoubtedly essential and came none
too soon. There has been a gradual
lessening of confidence for some time,
and this finally created condition of
panic. The lack of confidence was
accelerated by the publication of the
loans made by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to banks of the
country. Following this, the closing
of the banks of Michigan brought
about a spread of the panic until it
had engulfed the whole nation. The
bank holiday was necessary to give
the people chance to recover the nor
NAL mental processes, to protect the
banks-even though most of them
were sound and liquid-and to prevent
a raid on our gold stocks.
There was speculation against the
dollar abroad and the withdrawal of
foreign gold holdings from America.
This in itself would. have caused no
real damage. But the panicky con-
ditions had so frightened numbers of
Americans, that they were beginning
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-03-16

the currency and the credits which the
necessities of trade bring into en-
istence.
This nation has met and success
fully overcome many great tests and
it will do so in the present instance.
Nothing will help more to bring about
normal conditions than calmness,
courage and mistaken faith in the in
tegrity of the men who are handling
the banking affairs of the country.
Every person can help by cooperating
with the efforts which are being made
all the way from Washington down to
the smallest rural community to
straighten out the kinks and permit
business to proceed. This has always
happened in the United States and
will happen again.
No matter what storms American
business has encountered in the past,
it has always passed swiftly and sue
cessfully through to the calm waters
of better times. We can all help to
hasten the coming of better times by
standing Loyalty behind those who
have the task of REIMBURSEMENT in
hand.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-03-16
COOPERATION AND CONFI-
DENCE is URGENT NEED
OF THE HOUR

The present situation is a challenge
to the manhood and the womanhood of
America. 1t calls for courage, self
control, -mindedness and, above all
things, it calls for confidence in the
integrity of our fellow-man and the
ability of the best brains in the coun-
try to deal successfully with difficult
problem.
The people of this and every other
small community in the United States
may we'll congratulate themselves
that the perplexing conditions are
national instead of local. Indeed, in a
large sense, it is a world condition
we are called upon to meet and, be-
cause of the vast extent of the present
financial disturbance, we are assured
of the assistance of the ablest men not
only of this but of other civilized
countries in Strengthening out the
snarl in the money situation in order
that business may resume its normal
course. The present difficulties did
not originate in Maryland. In fact,
business was moving along in nor
NAL way here when conditions became
acute in some of the largest and most
wealthy states in the Union, notably
Michigan. The bankers of Maryland
did what the conservative bankers In
every other American state did under
the circumstances. They obeyed the
mandate of the law and closed when
ordered to do so.
The difficulties of carrying on our
everyday affairs without banking IA
cilities brings home to US in forci-
BILE manner the valuable services
which banks render to the public. I'm
der the conditions of modern life
banks have become a necessity. No
civilized society can exist and do
nestle life cannot properly function
without some kind of agency to handle
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-03-16

to withdraw gold for boarding and
sooner or later our immense stock of
gold would have been depleted had the
panic continued.
Aside, however, from the necessity
for swift action to save the banking
situation, the holiday will be of bene-
fit in another way. 1t has already
changed the psychology of the Ameri-
can people. We have come to realize
that we are all Sin the same boat"
that part of America cannot be safe
and secure unless it is all secure. The
smugness of the citizen who thought
he was a little wiser than his neighbor
is gone. 1t is much easier for the
average citizen to bear his financial
troubles if he sees the same conditions
existent all around him. Maybe this
is selfshness, but it is human nature
nevertheless. And so now that we have
all come up against the bank wall to-
gether there is a greater spirit of
determination in America to see the
thing through and win the battle
against the depression, than there has
been at any time since the stock mar
ket crash of 1929.
Indeed, there is something akin to
the war spirit arising in the nation.
People are beginning to buckle on
their swords, figuratively speaking,
and getting ready to go out and battle
against depression. All they need now
is to be told what to do. There is
grim determination on every hand
lust as there was in the fateful days
of 1917 and 1918. But best of all, in
addition to grim determination, there
is a grim sense of humor. People in
general are joking about their plight
as they go about seeking a way to
remedy it. That is the real American
spirit. 1t has won many times in the
past and it will win again, if our peo-
pie are led along a straight path that
runs toward stable finance.
