Resent Being Told

A LARGE element of the citizens did not wish
L n to become Methodists, even in part and it was
their resentment against being told that they would
have to do as Bishop Cannon said, as much as it
was their appetite for alcoholic beverages which sus-
tanned the rebellion.
Although Bishop Cannon is regarded rather
widely as having been shrewd politician. he was,
on the contrary, dumb Leader Curry of Tam
many hail. and of a similar type in that he thought
he could shove the citizens around and make them
like it,
In Washington they date the defeat of prohi-
btion from day when most of the dry members
of the house of representatives eaped their feet
and cheered for several minutes the news that a
T-year-old boy, a hitch-hiker had been shot dead
by a prohibition agent. The fact that the boy did
not know that the with whom he was riding
a Virginia bootegger driving to Washington to
call on his customers known to the statesmen.
But it did not abate their enthusiasm.
When they got through cheering, however, an old
man among them, who was not wet but appar-
emily just man, got up and told them, in round
numbers, that they were lot of savages and dis
grace to the country. A senator had been shot
through the head by a prohibition agent chasing
bootegger some years before and had died of his
wound But that tragedy somehow did not mpart
the moral shock that felt the day the drys in
the house cheered the killing of a 17year-old boy.

What other reason would there be for the tradi-

answer ready at hand. The fact is that next to

It wouldn't be safe to have a 4-year-o young

Whisky Grade Worse

DROHIBITION never was popular, but it had such
great political strength in those days that people
did not think they would live to see repeal so, al
though repeal is strong in the country and the
President even has gone so far as to provide a pa
rioc motive for the taking of drinks it should be
plain that the citizens subject to changes of that
which is called their mind.
The legal hooch which is being sold by the liquor
industry is a much grade of goods than the
bootleggers were providing in all the big centers
where the bootlegging industry well regulated.
In New York they had ceased to go to the messy
bother of cutting case-goods, which were coming in
in such quantities that prices fell little as $40

I never did have any beautiful illusions about
whisky at its BEST although I have encountered a
popular fallacy that seVenteen-yearold Bourbon
a mild, nutritious beverage with high food value
and just the thing for teething babies This was
contrary to practical experience in the so-called old
days
The prohibition movement is not dead, but just
playing dead. 1t is a smart policy their part to
let the liquor interests poison chisel and cheat the
citizens until they find themselves in a frame of
mind to be steamed up against the migrate industry
which found it impossible to turn square

Crisis Seen By Haney
For Banking System

lcial banks, and has taken over
q large part Of the Reserve
banks functions. SO now it Is
talking turkey"
You may be sure that 1t Is going
to have its way. Either we are
going to see Government-domi'
mated commercial banks parti.
cipating in a great credit initiation
or we are going to see the Admin.
istration enter the banking bust.
ness and initiate bank credit.
This is the chief factor in the
bull market in stocks.
The whole thing Is built on
credit. The chief assets Of the
banks are Government debt
(bOnds), and the bigger the Gov
ernment deficit the bigger the
sO-called reserves" Of the banks
Our money is purely credit money
and the larger the Government
debt the more money we have.
Thus we are on the way. We
are on the way to initiation, and
the banks are going to have to
come along.
We should note that the Gov
ernment spokesman says that
much of our trouble came from
too easy credit" He says he
would not advise "loose credits OF
unSound banking"
Then he says "but."
He adds several interesting
statements. One is that he would
rather see "too much credit" at
this time than "too little credit"
That is certainly a dangerous doc
trine. Which is better, too much
debt or too little debt?
He says that bank credit should
be used to prevent lack Of food
clothing and shelter, and that
everyone should enjoy some OF
the luxuries of life" You would
pay taxes to help the needy, but
if you were a depoSitor in bank
would you want it to lend your
money for such purposes?
I ask these questions in all sin
cerity. We are at the cross roads
in our control Of banking and
credit. We all want a soundel
and wiser banking system, but dc
we want the possibilities Of a po'
too much credit? Just think II
over for yourself.

SELLING PARES
COTTON GAIN

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 O.N.s),
After running up 81 bale to new
highs for the season, cotton
futures today ran into heavy liqui
dation and profit taking which
cut early gains in half.
The $1.50 a bale rise in Liver
pool was the stimulating factor in
initial dealings.
New speculative buying featured
dealings early in the morning.
An important factor in the cur
rent rise of raw cotton values is
the continued good business being
transacted in Worth Street. To
days turnover, while under the
heavy volume of recent sessions,
was fairly large and prices main
tanned a strong front all along
the line.
At the highs this morning. the
market showed an advance OF
more than SIS a bale from the
level prevailing about 10 days
ago.
At noon the list was up 8 to 9
points, with March up 8 at 11.91,
May up 9 at 1906, and July up 8
at 1928.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7 G.N.SO.
Sharply higher prices were asked
in hogs today and some weights
were held at IS, although nothing
sold higher than $4.75. Buyers
were not inclined to boost the
market too much. Most Of the
good hogs sold at $3.50 to $4.75.
Lightweight steers sold steady
to strong and the heavy were
weaker. Cows and heifers were
steady to strong and the market
active. Stockers and feeders

planted" by the Government.
This came out at a meeting in
New York day before yesterday.
A representative Of the New
York Federal Reserve Bank
undertook to defend the bankers.
He stated that eligible borrowers
had never had any difficulty in
getting loans, and that emer-
gency loans had been made in
some cases followed by borrow
ers' going into receivership.
The bank representative also
argued that a central bank Of
issue should not be under politi-
cal control. 1t should serve the
public interest in the manage
ment of money and credit, he
said, but plainly he thought that
politics and the public interest
are two horses Of a different
color.
So we are at the cross roads.
The Administration wants bank
credit pumped into business
for relief purposes and for
stimulation. The bankers want
to see business expanding in q
sound way before they expand
loans, and object to extending
the StOckhOIders' and depOsi-
tors money for purposes which
do not offer reasonable as
