AFTER THE WAR.
Every day people in every line of
business are heard to speak of their
future and the future of the country
“after the war.”
The United States today actually
stands the richest nation of the earh.
Her dollar crowns the market as the
standard.
The officials and authorities on fi
nance of the nation are already specu
lating on our future. The American
Association of Bankers held their an
nual meeting in Seattle last week, and
Mr. Law made the following predic
tion:
“On November 14, 1914, the Federal
Reserve Banks were opened, starting
too late to afford relief during the
financial stringency, as the retirement
of emergency currency was by that
time in full swing. Unfortunately,
this contraction was not sufficient to
meet the reduced requirements of
commercial depression combined with
speculative inactivity, and for the past
six months at least we have been suf
fering acutely from redundant cur
rency, a condition in many respects
more dangerous, than a stringency.
“The Federal Reserve system had
not yet been fully tested. The countrv
still awaits the action of two most
important factors in its operation,
namely, the entry of state banks, as
members and the removal of govern
ment deposits from the independent
treasury. It cannot be questioned that
all commercial banks, no matter
where their charters are derived, to
gether with the secretary of the treas
ury, should finally cooperate with the
system, if we are to coordinate all
elements in our sphere of commercial
finance.
“We hav e reasons to believe that
our financial position will strengthen
steadily as the European war pro
gresses; that our devoted president
will be successful in preserving neu
trality. When war ends what will it
mean to us as a nation? We shall be
rich enough and generous enough to
contribute liberally toward the help
of the needy; to assist in the recon
struction of some of the ruined na
tions; to give employment to the mass
of emigrants who will probably rush
to our shores; to compete vigorously
with the stronger nations in seeking
foreign trade.
“Shall we have made heavy sacrifices
and assumed serious risks for the sake
of humanity, or shall we have ceased
advocating the cause of the oppressed
of the other countries. Shall we find
that on account of the enormous prof
its exacted from the dire necessities
of the belligerents, we have devoted
our attention more to material gain
than to the moral and spiritual influ
ences which should accompany our
traditions regarding human liberty:
We are on the eve of world-wide
changes in every department of life.
The responsibility rests upon each of
you who are the leaders in thousands
of communities to use your influence
| with wisdom and conservatism in
shaping sentiment and the conduct of
affairs.”
i
' Is it necessary to use a megaphone
to call your attention to the fact tha
every time you patronize a Mail Order
■ | House in some disant city you take
money out of circulation in your own
community, there by reducing to that
extent the prosperity of your neigh-
• ( bors, including yourself in the long
run? Think it over carefully and get
j back into the all home trading pro
cession.
Laws should be enacted compelling
young physicians to practice on cats —
because one life out of nine wouldn’t
be missed.

head that he ought to eat a little brain
food occasionally—but he can’t explain
why.
