Declares New Currency Law Will Give Business
the Protection It Has Needed for So Long
and Also Will Shield the Masses.
Continued From Page 1.
ribe a curr President Wilson and
■is Democrats, he declared, deserved
Hie thanks of the entire country. He
paid tribute to the five Cabinet mem
iiers from the South, declaring they
are reflecting great credit on this
section.
Tn presenting Mr. McAdoo, Mr.
Maddox declared the Secretary had
employed “underground” methods In
some of his operations; had "bored''
New York and New Jersey, but would
doubtless be entertaining to his At
lanta audience,
Mr. McAdoo’s Speech.
The reference to the Hudson tun
iel brought prolonged applause. Mr.
McAdoo spoke as follows:
"Fellow Georgians and old Marfet
tans who are seeking reserve banks:
1 am not vain enough to mistake the
cordiality of this reception. It Is a
<lelightful experience to greet an au
dience that wants something. I take
this to be a tribute, not to mo, but to
the President whom we have the
honor to represent. Congress has
given us a polygamous duty. We must
find light on twelve brides for Uncle
Sam.”
Mr. McAdoo proved himself an able
raconteur, and several excellent sto
ries at this juncture relieved the se
rious tenor of his speech.
“At least, this trip of ours,” he re
sumed. "has revealed the fact 'hat
there Isn't a single dependent city in
the United States nnd that the pas
sage of the currency bill was unnec
essary. 1 think it is a cause of felici
tation that we have adopted a con
stitutional credit, for the currency bill
s just than Any bill or any measure
that did not recall the financial cata
clysm of the past is a 100 per cent
bill.
Protection to Business.
The banks that are protected by
this Federal reserve system are the
t anks that the people arc going to put
theft money in. This bill is a pro
tection to the business Interests -not
to the borrowers’ interest necessarily
of this country. The purpose of this
bill is to protect the business men.
The bill and the party which gave it
birth are the first to prove themselves
alive to the real interests of the na
tion’s business.
"What has the Democratic admin
istration done? .i'e have settled the
tariff question. We have given you
an Income tax law. I am glad to be
able to collect that tax. You are all
in favor of it. I can see. Our peo
ple—you Atlanta people, especially—
don’t want unequal opportunities.
"We have arranged to have the
crops moved in the fall. This is the
greatest step ever taken in making
the American people brave and Inde-
Strong Southern Feeling
Against Wall Street Cited
In a keen, logical argument on
facts, Senator Hoke Smith, one of the
framers of the currency bill, Satur
day evening in the United States
Court room in the Federal Building
presented Atlanta’s Anal and strong
est argument for the establishment of
a reserve bank here.
"I strongly counsel that under this
currency law the Southeastern sec
tion of this country should be made
a separate reserve district with a '
separate reserve bank,” said Senator 1
Smith.
"Some gentlemen have put the
South in the false light of not being
a self-supporting section. I believe it
Is a self-supporting part of the coun
try and 1 will prove It to you. It
would be more financially Independ - 1
ent with a reserve bank.
Only Twelve Banks Allowed.
“This bill requires the establish
ment of not less than eight reserve
banks, but it allows the establish
ment of twelve. There were those
men In Congress who wanted only i
one central bank to serve the entire I
country
"Then, if the country were pros- I
perous, the bank would be prosper- ;
ous and self-supporting.
“Convenience is emphasized in this '
hill. It says that these hanks shall
be located 'conveniently' to the terri- ’
tory they serve. I advocate such a i

has often made them financial cow
ards. We have at the head of the na
tion a man of singularly infallible
judgment. He will exercise that judg
ment for the general good.
Politics Not to Count.
“The currency question is not a lo
cal question, or a sectional question,
but a question of exalted patriotism.
The banks must be located where they
will best serve the welfare of the
.American people, not of any particu
lar section. We don't propose to
permit politics to influence us one
lota.”
Comptroller Williams followed with
an eloquent tribute to Senator Bacon
as a good and faithful servant. Then,
referring to the regional bank ques
tion, he said:
"I propose to save time and admit
everything In your regional bank ar
gument, although your lowest figures,
as T recall them, were twenty-one bil
lion dollars.”
Mr. Williams predicted an era. of
wonderful prosperity for the great
Southeastern section of which Atlanta
is the geographical and commercial
center.
Praises Senator Smith.
"I wish to toll the people of Geor
gia that they have in Senator Hoke
Smith an opponent of special privi
lege and monopoly,” said Mr. Wil
liams.. “He has fought that prepon
derance of wealth in New York City
which improperly used its vast wealth
for unlawful speculation to make a
few men rich to the impoverishment
of the many.
"When President Wilson put hfs
signature to the currency bill he
sounded the death knell of the money
trust.”
Secretary Houston introduced him
self with tile declaration that he hail
ed from North Carolina, a valley of
humility between two mountains of
conceit.
He discussed the bank question only
In a general way, told several Inter
esting stories an<l concluded with >i
feeling tribute to Senator Bacon.
Always Welcome Here.
In closing. Toastmaster Maddox re
marked that the bank organization
committee always will find in Atlanta
a hospitable bank where the regional
reserve board may have cashed any
drafts they make upon it.
Secretary of the Treasury William
G. McAdoo, at the conclusion of the
banquet, turned to Colonel Robert
Dowry and said:
"Colonel, I want you to give me a
menu of this banquet. I want to
send It to my daughter and have
her keep it as a memento of one of
the most pleasant and enjoyable eve
nings I have known.”
The Cabinet officers will leave for
Cincinnati Sunday.
bank tor Atlanta, to serve the terri
tory of South Carolina. Florida, Ala
bama. Mississippi, Eastern Tennessee
and Western North Carolina.
"Injustice has been done this sec
tion by calling it a borrowing sec
tion. They brilig our bills payable
forward to show that we are bor
rowers in enormous amounts. If you
will deduct 75 per cent from those
bills payable, you will have about
what we owe. The result would be
almost negligible.
Gigantic Reserve Funds.
"You can deduct from our bills pay
able the gigantic reserve funds our
Southern banks keep in New York.
Philadelphia and St. Louis, and the
amount of their deposits that have
gone outside the State, because when
the reserve bank is located here these
funds will be brought back here and
kept all the time.
“You gentlemen seem to feel that
the emergency borrowing clause in
the bill is a sort of fire escape and
should not be used except as a last
extremity. I say the emergency bor
rowing clause Is put there to permit
banks to borrow from the reserve of
other banks and thus avert the pos
sibility of their beinjf any fire, or in
other words, failure.
“As a matter of fact, you couldn’t
locate more than two banks in any
,given section of this country where
they do not call upon other sections
of the country for financial aid at one
time or another during the year.
Even New York Asks Aid.
"You can’t locate any given sec
tion of the country that has not called
for help from other sections at some
time during the last five years. Even
New York has asked help in that
time.
"The Cotton Belt States are enti
tled to two of the eight or twelve
banks you gentlemen are going to lo
cate. It is not simply through pride
that we ask this, but because we’re
growing rapidly in production. We
want a chance. We want practical,
open recognition. This currency bill
could not have passed in Congress
without the active support of South
ern and Western Senators.
“In the Senate the bill was report
| ed from the House carrying provision
| for only four banks That was in
creased after a hard fight for six and
I then to eight, for the sole purpose of
! making sure that the South should
j have at least one. possibly’ two, of
! these banks.

"Atlanta Is the third largest insur

HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, CA„ SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 115. 1914.
Senator Smith’s Plea for
Reserve Bank in Atlanta
<( T STRONGLY counsel that under this currency law the
1 Southeastern section of this country should be made a
separate reserve district with a separate reserve bank.
"Some gentlemen have put the South in the false light of
not being a self-supporting section. I believe it is a self-sup
porting part of the country and I will prove it to you. It would
be more financially independent with a reserve bank.
"Convenience is emphasized in this bill. It says that these
banks shall be located ‘conveniently’ to the territory they serve.
( I advocate such a bank for Atlanta, to serve the territory of
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, eastern Tennes
see and western North Carolina.
* ‘ The Cotton Belt States are entitled to two of the eight or
twelve banks you gentlemen are going to locate."—Senator
Hoke Smith before the regional bank investigators.
the Senator's next remark that At
lanta also is the second largest mule
market in the world.
McAdoo Gets in Quip.
“Do you mention that with pride?”
asked Secretary McAdoo.
"1 believe the time will come." con
tinued Senator Smith, seriously, “when
the South will not buy a pound of
beef, nor a horse, nor a mule, in the
North.”
Senator Smith then stated that At
lanta's 1913 building record exceeded
that of any city in the South. He was
Interrupted by W, P. G. Harding, of
Birmingham, who presented figures
showing that Birmingham’s building
operations exceeded those of Atlanta
in 1913.
”1 hadn't verified it,” explained Sen
ator Smith. “I was told, and believed.
But we’re friendly to Birmingham.
We'll even give them a branch of the
regional bank when we get It in At
lanta." ,
No Second Choice.
"What would be your seb.ond
choice, if the bank could not come
here?" asked Mr. McAdoo.
“I have no second choice. There is
none.” replied, the Senator.
"But if there had to be?” insisted
Mr. McAdoo.
“I would choose Washington."

"By no means. Washington Is the
only other choice outside of Atlanta.
We wouldn’t have voted for the cur
rency bill at all if we had known there
was a possibility we wouldn’t get a
bank.”
AV. P. G. Harding, of Birmingham,
in closing his statement, said:
Attacks Money Trust.
“There is a strong sentiment here
in the South against the money power
in Wall street and in Chicago. The
financial powers there are out of all
proportion to the volume of com
merce.
“We want business and money in
proportion to it, at home. The sim
plest form for us would be a North
and-South district, so we could easily
get money in our own district when
we needed it.
"Sentiment plays a big part in the
business of the South and it is an
element that you gentlemen can not
afford to Ignore.”
“We can not consider sentiment.”
said Mr. McAdoo. "AVe must get ad

South without regard to sentiment or
sections.”

Good Night! Last
Word in Stockings
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The very
latest is the "good-night" stocking.
A watch dial, with the hands an
nouncing 1 o’clock, is embroidered on
the stocking about halfway between
knee and ankle. Underneath the dial
are the words, “Good-night,” in white
letters. A woman was seen wearing
one of these stockings in the Ritz
Carlton. One leg was crossed over
the other and, thanks to the split
skirt, the clock and inscription showed
plainly.

POOR HARO HIT
BT GOLD WAVE;
APPEAL FOR AID
City Warden Declares Poverty Is
on Increase in Atlanta Despite
Prosperous Times.
The cold wave has brought to City
Warden Thomas Evans several hun
dred appeals for help and a continua
tion will mean real distress in many
parts of the city.
“The appeals are not unusual for
weather this cold,” said Warden Ev
ans. “The unusual thing is that they
have been that high almost every day
since Christmas.
"Poverty In Atlanta is on the in
crease, in spite of the general pros
perity. Since Christmas there have
bee..'from 35 to 75 requests for help
every day. Up until this year the
number never exceeded 25 a day, ex
cept in extreme cold or when snow
was on the ground.
Needs Are Real.
“The increased needs of Atlanta’s
poor this year are real. They have
been constant, and I have investigat
ed the cases. They come from wom
en and children who can’t make a
livelihood.”
Unless the weather office slipped a
cog, Sunday is to start out as a fine,
clear, cold day and continue in a gen
erally fair and bracing mood until
nightfall.
It should be a very pleasant day,
unless some water pipes (overlooked
Saturday night after due warning)
explode with grievous effects when
thawed out in the cold, gray dawn of
the morning after.
Cold to Last, Says Expert.
Weather Forecaster VonHerrmann
predicted that a temperature of about
22 degrees would be experienced in
Atlanta and vicinity, and that the
cold would be pretty well maintained
throughout the day, without much
wind.
Prospects for Monday looked fa
vorable for the same sort of weather,
with perhaps higher temperatures.
The worst part of the cold snap, Mr.
VonHerrmann said, was over with the
freezing rain of Friday and the raw
wind of Saturday morning, although
other parts of the country will be ex
posed to inclement and uncomfortable
conditions for some time after At
lanta is well on the way tj, fine
weather again.
Whole East in Grip
Os Severe Blizzard.
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The great

| Revenue Cutter to
Carry Aeroplanes
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The
Hearst newspapers learned to-day of
a plan to increase the efficiencA- of the

The main reason given tor the need
of such craft is. the present difficult
method of locating derelict steamers.

"Priests” of Sect That Maltreated
Epileptic Jailed—Victim May
Lose an Eye.
MURPHYSBORO, ILL., Feb. 14.
As the result of an attempt by "Holy
Rollers” to “beat the devil out of" a
convert, Walter Ellis, a preacher of
the cult, and Adam Cripps, one of his
disciples, are in jail here awaiting
trial on a charge of assault with in
tent to kill.
The victim is Noah Hickman, of
Alto Pass, who has been a sufferer
from epilepsy. He attended a meeting
of the "Holy Rollers,” and was set
upon and beaten till he was insensi
ble. He was rescued by a relative,
who heard his screams for help. His
physician says he will lose one eye.
Ellis, who sits howling and praying
in his cell, announces that the Lord
is coming in ten days to burst open
the doors of the jail and set him free.

LONDON, Feb. 14.—The Prince of
Wales, whose hobby is collecting an
tique silverware, is the victim of an
Oxford tradesman, who sold him for
$7,500 what purported to be a fine
Queen Anne silver cup. This week
Gug Laklng, the King’s armorer, saw
the piece, and pronounced it a repro
duction worth about SSOO. <
As a result the Oxford tradesman
has lost a royal customer, and the
Prince has decided to consult Laking
in the future before closing such
deals.

Hair Remedy.” ready to use; but
listen, avoid preparations put up by
druggists as they usually use too
much sulphur, which makes the hair
sticky. Get “Wyeth’s” which can al
ways be depended upon to darken
beautifully and is the best thing
known to remove dandruff, stop scalp
itching and falling hair.
By using Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur no one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair. It does it so nat
urally and evenly—you moisten a
sponge or soft brush, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time which requires but
a few moments. Do this at night and
by morning the gray- hair disappears;
after another application or two its
natural color is restored and it be
comes glossy and lustrous and you
appear years younger.—Advt.
The Doctor told Wm. J. Sulli
van he suffered from the
worst form of Bronchitis,
but the medicine he pre
scribed failed to do any
good. In fact, nothing
helped until Duffy’s Pure
Malt Whiskey came to the
rescue, as it always does.
Naturally, he refuses to lis
ten to the "just as good”
talk of dealers.
“I had a bad cough for over six
years. I would cough every morning
on getting up. My aoctor said:
'You have Bronchitis in its worst
form.’ Medicine he gave me did
me no good, and after trying every
thing else I was advised to try Duf
fy's Pure Malt Whiskey before meals
with egg and milk. After three
months my cough disappeared and I
have not been bothered with a cough
or cold since. My weight has in
creased steadily, so I now weigh 185
