CRISIS HAS PASSED Chicagoan Wins in Beauty Test
“We Have Taken a Big Dose of
Medicine,” He Says, “and It
Will Do Us Good.”
"In my opinion, the United States,
mid particularly the South, is on the
threshold of a year of splendid pros
pects and vast possibilities, ’ said
Colonel Robert J. Lowry, president
o! Die Lowry National Bank and
chief official of the Atlanta ( leaning
House Association. Saturday.
Colonel Lowry had been discussing
the new currency bill and its rela
tion to the South. He also had said
something of the tariff—and the fast
that Colonel Low'ry is a stout protec
tionist makes all the more significant
his optimistic outlook for the coming
> ear.
Thinks Crisis Is Past.
"Now, I wouldn’t be giving this to
you straight," Colonel Lowry went
one, "if 1 didn’t admit that, in my
opinion, the country has just come
through a crisis. 1 am sure it was
not generally realized how grave the
situation was. But I believe it is
well over, now—a thing of the past,
and an added tribute to the ability
of the American people to cope with
any situation that may arise.
“Being a protectionist, I can’t help
but hold to the opinion that the new
tariff was put over at an inopportune
time for our Southern manufactur
ers. The New England factories had
enjoyed the benefits of protection for
decades. In former years, the South
did not require any particular pro
tection from the product of the cheap
labor of Europe. Now there is a
Southern manufacturer at every
crossroads—and the protection is re
moved from all alike.
Cites Power of the South.
"But even that circumstance will
not retard the prosperity of the
South. I feel sure of that, because
1 have lived long in this section and
I know’ its natural resources and its
wonderful recuperative power. If the
new tariff proves a handicap, why,
means will he found to correct the
trouble. I have every confidence in
the power and wisdom of the people
of the South. They are essentially
capable of looking after their own af
fairs.
“But I certainly can not conscien
tiously minimize the recent period
of unrest and uneasiness the country
has just been through. Two great
measures were- pending. Business did
not know how to regard either. I’ll
tell you—it was like the administra
tion of a dose of medicine in a case
of illness. The dose was powerful;
in some ways it was bitter; it was
hard to take. But I believe firmly
that its effect will be most beneficial.
It is characteristic of our people that
when there is a big job to be done,
or severe medicine to be taken, they
like to do the job, to take the medi
cine, in a hurry and get it over with.
Praises the Currency Bill.
"As to the currency bill. I am ex
tremely optimistic in regard to its
bearing on the South, and particular 1
]y on Atlanta, for I have little doubt
that Atlanta will be selected as one
of the regional banking locations.
"This bill, as at first framed, did
MRS. HEARST HONORED.
ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 27.—Governor
Glynn to-day announced the appoint
ment of Mrs. W. R. Hearst as a mem
ber of the commission to represent
New York State at the Panama-Pa
cific International Exposition to be
held in San Francisco. Mrs. Hearst is
the first woman appointed on that
commission. The appointment was
made under tHe recent act of the Leg-
... islature, adding three new members
not appear to many of the more con
servative bankers and financiers to
be desirable. 1 may say that it look
ed pretty bad to me. But the tenor
has been changed so radically that,
as it was enacted, the currency meas
ure provides a sound and progressive
basis for the future of our Amerkan
banking and currency System.
“And perhaps the finest part of it
all is the evident relief and confidence
that have succeeded the unrest and
disturbance while the two big meas
ures were pending.
"The thing is settled now. Even
those who do not agree with the reg
ulation of tlie tariff and with the pro
visions of the currency bill are tak
ing their places w ith an air of confi
dence, ready to go ahead and make
the best of it.
Predicts a Record Year.
"The best of it ought to be pretty
good. It ought to be just about the
test year this country ever saw, and 1
have the South particularly in mind—
and our own State—when I say that.
AVe are particularly blessed here in
Georgia with a stawlart, robust pros
perity that can not be shaken by the
storms of finance. I have no doubt
that Georgia was less affected by the
recent crisis than any other State in
the Union. in a way of speaking,
Georgia is a young State—young in
the development of its natural re
sources; a young giant, just feeling
his strength.
“I’m a conservative, you know, and
I don’t fall into the hurrah line as
easily as some of these youngsters.
But this time I can’t see any reason
for not joining the chorus. Whatever
I can do to help things along will be
done with all the might there is in
me.
