The System’s record of achieve
ment through a world war, an fe
tation period ot dlssy heights, and
non tha ot aerious and costly liqui
dation. It la a matter ot greatut
importance that very earnest and
patriotic thought be given to the
two questions: How far hae th*
lysttm succeeded, and In what par-
ticiilar has It failed, to give onr
country aa, strong and os useful a
Dnanclal system as human mind
can devlaet
The hope and expectation of
those who framed the Federal Re
serve Act that the machinery sab
op for the origination, distribution
and automatlo retirement of cur
rency Issue, which should be en
tirely responsive to the needs of
trade and the varying conditions of
buafeeas, have bean wonderfully
well realised. Every possible ef
fort must be exerted to pmterve
the Federal Reserve System Com
political alliance and to kup Its
powerful Influence entirely devoted
to the building np of the greatest
banking system In th* world.
The flrat bank of the United
9tatei waa established In 1791 and!
(ailed to obtain a . renewal at Its
charter la 1311, the opponents
charglag that th* bank was a
"money trust" controlled by tot-
signers, a tool In th* hand* ot tha
Federalists, and that tha act char
tering the bank waa unconstitu
tional. Note the me of the worda
"money trait” We hava the Idea
that this la a modem term. The
suspicions which animat* the
demagogue today hav* not chang
ed In a century.
The second bank ot Uta United
Btatea was chartered ln 1816 and
failed to obtain a renewal of Its
charter In 1331, the reasons being
a widespread belief that the bank
waa nnconstUntlonal, the hostility
ot the states, the opposition of tha
state banka, the rise ot democracy,
and the envy and hatred which the
poor always feel toward the rich.
Both baaks functioned well and
accomplished much for the coun
try during crucial times The
downfall of both wa> caused sim
ply and solely by attempts to place
the determination of banking poll-
cles in tha hands of political an-
thoritle*. *
The delicate handling of cur
rency and credit, to the Ugh end
that the beat Intereata of all may
b* served with special privilege to
none, cannot be left to otberi titan
those who are competent through
proven Judgment and experience.
The danger of politics In the Fed-
oral Reserve System Is a real one;
upon ua !• placed the grave re-
■ponalbtllty ot forever keeping the
great system clean.

Why
W HY waste time in useless “shopping around” when the
advertisements lay before you the choicest wares of
every progressive merchant in town?
Why use needless effort in an-endless store-to-store quest when
the advertisements enable you to make your choice of the finest
merchandise without even leaving your home?
Why pay more than you ought when you can Btretch your
dollar to the elastic limit by taking advantage of the bargains
and good buys that are daily advertised in this paper?
Why risk disStiUttfactum by buying unknown, unbranded
goods when you can assure yourself complete satisfaction by buy
