A BANK FOR BROKERS.
NO ARSENIC. PLEASE, F. R
USURY UNNECESSARY.
INVEST, DO NOT CAMBLE.
i the
la response to warning* froi
Federal Reserve, banks withdrew o
Friday, $25,000,000 of call loan
The idea was “to discourage specu
lation.*’ That speculation keeps big
banks and their gigantic profits alive
but that is another story.
When loans were called, the rate
moved from r. to 9 per cent Banks
calling Joans sacrificed G per cent on
$25,000,000 and made an additional
;i per cent on about four billions.
Even a child on the farm could un
derstand that systematic usuary
must l»e harmful. Even as base n
thing as a speculator, buying Amer
ican securities, should
too systematically.

It is probable that investigation of
the Federal Reserve Banks, and its
accidental or intentional promotion
of bank profits, through usury, will
follow the laicst Federal Reserve ac
tion, responsible for a loss, widely
scattered, of three or more billions in
a few hours.
Why do not Stock Exchange men
protect themselves and their cus
tomers from financial tyranny. They
could establish a great bnnk, especi
ally for their own purples. Com
pelling brokers to make call loans at
that bank, on conservative margins
of security, at a fair interes*. rate,
and dividing profits among stock ex
change mmehers, they might do
something that the Federal Reserve,
evidently cannot do.
Controlling a monopoly of call
loans, they could sell $1,009,000,000
worth of stock in an hour.
If a father, to cure his children of
overeating, put arsenic in their food,
you would say, “Something wrong
with that father.”
When a paternal Federal Reserve
Board, mistaking itself for the na
tional government, to cure what it
considers over-speculation, ruins
thousands of investors by forcing
usurious interest rates, you say,
"Something wrong with that Federal
Reserve Board.”
The board is unnecessarily excite J
nbou four or five billion dollars of
brokers* loans.
Learned financiers should realize
that there is money in this country
outside of banks control.
Hr. Eckcr, vice-prseident of the
Metropolitan Life Company, has
show* that the income of American
wage earners is sixty billions of dol
lars a year. And they spend fifteen
billions less thun they earn.
Those fifteen billions nre three
times the total of brokers’ louns. A
nation that has every year fifteen bil
lions of spending money might bor-
iow a third of its excess annuul
wealth for investment, or even
.-peculation, without making criminal
usury r'vcssary.
Wall Street went to work last
week convinced that the world had
not quite come to an end, and
a benevolent regulating Federal Re
serve might be endured.
Some for whom this is the begin
ning of the Spring lumb season, the
unhappy wiped-out minority that
tried the "law down, go broke’
pericnce will know better next time.
Other* will know better later.

One sacred day a week is not pe
culiar to the Christian. The Moham
medan observes Friday and the He.
brew keeps the seventh day as dis
tinct from the other days of the
week. From the very beginning the
followers of Jehovah kept thii
for worship and other religious pur
poses. It began in recognition of
the God’s completed work in creation.
When the Ten Commandments were
promulgated at Mount Sinai new
principles were not enunciated but
formal attention was called to thnt
which had already been recognized
th,. right way of living. The Sabbath
his ever been the day when special
thought was given to the Almighty
and man’s relationship to him. Such
meditation naturally expresses itself
in worship and then in deeds in a
cord with our prayers.
In addition to the three passag.
indicated above turn to Genesis
2:2. 3; Matthew 28:1-10; Acts 20:7;
Matthew 28:1-10; Acts 20:7: and Ro
mans 14:4-6. Then very helpful in
formation will be found in your gen
eral or Bible dictionary under the
words "Sabbath,” "Sunday” and
"Lord's Day.”
All the principles in the Ten Com
mandments nre binding for all time.
"Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep
it holy” was the direction of Jehovah
to the Israelites through Moses. Not
what man regards as convenient or

this fourth commandment for the
requirement i« six days of sufficient
ly hard work to provide for the ma
terial things of life.
After the resurrection of our Lord
the first day of tho week was ob
served by common consent as the
Christian's Sacred Day. Each first
day of the week commemorates that
resurrection even as does Easter. A
study of the Acts of the Apostles
gives numerous references to this
change of time and the reason is
adequate.
The Sacred day had been robbed
of much of its blessings by the bur
densome prohibitions. Criticism was
heaped on the disciples because they
picked and ate corn as they went
through the fields on the Sabbath.
Jesus defended them. There is place
for works of necessity and mercy on
this ‘‘pearl of all the days of the
week.” There is religion in service
more than in mere formal wor
ship. One test for the right use of
this Day is th c physical and spiritual
condition with which we fate the re
sponsibilities of the working days of
the week. The Lord's Day can be n
blessed delight. John was "in the
Spirit on th e Lord’s Day” when he
had the wonderful vision on Patinos
and we, too, should so use the Lord’s
Day that we will come into conscious
piritual relationship with Him.

Lady De Batho died recently at

Lily, she was known wherever Eng

due largely to her marvelous com
plexion, pink and white, NATURAL

out. Even little girl; are daubed and
