center. Good schools and univeraities
will do more than anything else to
bring good people to a city and Shaw-
nee will have n, riial« in this parti-
cular by another fall. In material
things we should make a specialty
of small factoriees and new industries.
Th kevnote to futu 'e growth that
will prove stable and beneficial to all
is the development of more productive
industries and an increase in the num-
ber of skilled workmen profitably em-
ployed.
Nineteen and fourteen ought to see
this county with enough oil wells to
place it In the proven field or else
we ought to have enough dry holes
to make us want to forget it
It is estimated that several hundred
delicately nurtured, and hand raised
political bees will be shaken out of
the head gear of the lawyers and
others attending the Bar Association
meeting at Oklahoma City today and
tonight.
Several important meetings are
taking place today at the State cap
Hal. The State Bar e*so-"'ation and
the county attorneys meeting are tha
most important, probably, but the
busiest meeting will be the state pol-
iticians who will fall together in all
the hotel lobbies early and late.
Railroad bulsness has kept up
wonderfully well in this section this
winter, and while the great drouth
in the north and west has resulted In
a heavy loss in gross receipts from
freight for the western trunk lines
business has been much better than
was expected In the early fall.
This spring ought to see a healthy
revival in the real estate business
in Shawnee. Prices are down to the
bottom and many peop.° now renting
will buy and build and newcomers
will be plentiful enough to keep all
rental property occupied.
We do not know whether to give
all the credit to the ladies or to di-
vide it between them and our mer-
chants who choose the styles and
fabrics, but Shawnee certainly takes
front rank In the number of Its
fashionably dressed women. We give
nature the credit for making them
handsome.
The new year will find many dis-
turbing conditions that have previ-
ously menaced trade out of the way
and all may safely look forward to a
prosperous 1914. At Init there will
be no future panics and but little In
wtty of cheaper living until all organ-
isations in restraint of trade are dis-
solved. —Ex.
An old adage says "When the days
begin to lengthen the cold begins to
strengthen," and that is more apt to
happen in this latitude than it is eith-
er South or North. We rarely have
any winter to speak of here until af-
ter the holidays and then we very fre-
quently get plenty and ii. is beat to
be prepared for it
Shawnee can make as much or as
little growth the coming year as her
people want to make. Her standing
as a prosperous, substantial business
city is equal to the best in the state
and her advantages are apparent.
If we will make a united effort to go
and get things we need in the way of
- further development we can get them
and in getting them we will add to
irhf • «*«*• nHH- '"*•
Shawnee is going to need the most
energetic and determined efforts from
her Chamber of Commerce this year
she has ever had, and if you are not
a member get in line to do your part
in the year's work. We need sev-
eral small factories. We want to keep
in touch with the farming community
through better road building, beeter
marketing facilities and co-operation
and encouragement for better farm-
ing methods and to do these things
successfully is going to require united
and tamest effort. This is work that
can be done and that ought to be done.
Young people are admonished to
respect old age and the admonition
should be heeded. Old age brings
with it a knowledge of the world and
a keenness of judgment which youth
cannot enjoy. The young man or wo-
man who scorns advice from the aged
displays the worst faults of youth,
conceit and ignorance.
But, unfortunately, there is a class
of old people who, through mis/or-
tunes in life, or through constantly
nursing pet hobbies or grouches, are
not only unattractive but positively
repellent to the young. Instead of
being a help and inspiration to youth,
by magnifying the difficulties of life
and taking a pessimistic view of mod-
em conditions, they became stumbling
blocks to their progress. They make
unfavorable comparisons with things
present and things past and by cynical
talk and criticism lead the young to
believe that the world is growing
steadily worse and that honest en-
deavor does not count for ai- much
as in the "good old days when I was
young."
The natural role of an old person
is that of counsel-giver, and, as such
he serves a useful purpose in the
world. But if, with advice, he pours
out a tale of woe, if he throws cold
water on the bright schemes of youth,
if he continually finds fault with new
ideas, he is a hindrance rather than
a help and it would be better if he
could pass off the world's stage and
let the actors hear no more of his
grumbling.
This busy world has no place on its
surface for a knocker and an old
knocker is as detestable as a young
one.—Ad^ Star Democrat. .
WILL ANY BANK STAY OUT?
The fact that the banks and trust
companies are applying in great num-
bers for charters under the new law
is not important news. If any of the
large banking concerns should decide
to stay out it would be real news.
But that scarcely will occur. It is
noted that none of the big banks of
New York and Chicago were among
the charter applicants, but that is
not significant as they will be found
there when .he time comes. In the
earlier stages the talk was common
that the banks might find it to their
advantage to surrender their charters
rather than raise the money neces-
sary to membership in the reserve
institutions. But most of the objec-
tion to the bill, which was strenuous
during the formative period, has
melted away and the banks, almost
without exception, have determined
to join in giving the new law a fair
test. In the light of this, it will be
interesting to know whether any fin-
ancial institution of magnitude has
decided finally to surrender its title
as "national" and whatever advan-
tages have gone with it.—St. Paul

A PUZZLE
We borrow from the New York !
Press the following instructive his- j
tory of a head of cabbage: I
The head is grown by a small far- •
Imer in Connecticut, who gets a cent
and a half for it. It first goes to the (
commission merchant, who lives on i
Riverside Drive, pays $2,000 a year
for his apartment, keeps an automo-
bile and spends $7,000 a year. Next
the cabbage is sent to the wholesaler,
who lives on West End Avenue, in an i
$1,800 apartment, keeps an automo- |
triUr and spends |6,000 a year. Thence
the cabbage goes to the jobber who I
lives'in a $1,500 apartment on upper!
Broafiway, keef>s an automobile and I
spends $5,000 a year. From him the
cabbage travels to the retailer, who
lives in a $700 apartment on a side
street, has a corner store for which
he pays $25 a month rent, keeps two
delivery wagons at a cost of $140 a
month and spends $2,500 a year on
his living. Finally the cabbage gets
to Mr. Ultimate Consumer, who lives
j a $40-a-month tenement, rides in

f ir OUf V\Q
(By George Clinton
Washington, D. C„ Dec. 30.—Now
| that the Ov, en-Glass cur-
rency btll has bee me a law, the nat-
| oral and perhaps apprehensive ques-
tion becomes. Is It to work good or ill
I to the banking and the general busi-
ness Interests of he country? Does
| one se^ro to put the plane of fetelli
fence low when he says that, with
\ the exception of half a dozen senators
j and representative* who have spoken
' directly to the point, no one can be
I found in the capital city, outside of
those who speak enthusiastically slm-
| ply because they are partisans, will-
ing to give a specific answer to the
question concerning the business re-
sults of the new currency law*
The solemn truth is that apparently
no man understands currency to its
roots. Finance Is a question which
has been the subject of controversy
for hundreds, yes even thousands of
years. There are as many views on
the proper way to make a sound cur-
rency as there are men able to express
any view at all. Of the witnesses who
appeared before the committees sit-
ting in consideration of the currency
measure, only one or two were willing
to prophesy actual disaster as the re-
sult of the passage of the bill and only
a few are willing to declare as a cer-
tainty that specific benefit would come
from Its enactrr nt Daring the debate
on the tariff bin which is now the law
there were plenty of Pepubllcans in
both houses willing to prophesy dis
aster to the business interests of the
country because of the cut in customs
The tariff was a familiar subject.
Fsw Even Pretend to Know.
During the debates on the currency
bill, many of the Republicans "sat
speechless" Others, braver, spoke
their minds, but those who thus spoke
were few in number Why was there
reticence on currency and glibness on
the tariff? The reason is as simple as
a primer There are not more than
ten men in the house and senate who
understand currency matters and all
except the ten who understand, or
who think they understand, were will j
Ing to keep quiet, lest they show their I
Ignorance or predict something wbJch •
might not be fulfilled
As far as the congress of the Unit-
ed States is concerned, the currency
law is an experimental measure Sen 1
a tors and representatives know what
the banking Interests have said in fa-
vor of the bill and against tt. They 1
realise that the doctors" disagree and
if the doctors disagree how can the
layman decide?
President Wilson s currency meas-
ure will not come into full operation
for some time. In Washington its re
suits are looked upon much as were
the results of the drawings of the old
Ixiuisiana lottery. It may be major
prize legislation It may be minor prize
legislation, or it may be blank legisla
tlon represeating the loss of all the
energy which was put Into its passage
plus the loss of business stability.
Wilson Seems Confident
There have been many matters be-
fore congress during the long yelrs
but on no question has there been
thrown so little real light as upon this
question of money. The measure ol
the arguments on the subject fs no
measure of the knowledge on to® sub
jeet. It might hurt the feelings of
Mr McAdoo. Mr Glass, Mr. Owen, Mr
Root and some other gentlemen to
learn, as they can learn if they will
make inquiry, that no senator or rep
resentative who has heard their
speeches or read their treatises on the
subject of currency has definitely set
tied in his mind that any one of them ;
is right in his contentions
So it Is that the currency measure, j
over the passage of which a sigh of
relief wont up because it brings with
It cessation of congressional labors!
'and a surcease of present sorrow?
will become the law of the land and t
go into operation without any definite'
knowledge, so far as Washlngtop of
ficials are concerned, as to whether It j
Is to 'do' the country or to do some
thing for the country.
President Wilson seemingly Is sure
that money will be easier, that Wall
street will not get its "bog's share" In
times of stress, that atabllity under
lies the law In every one of Its claases,
and yet Mr Wilson may be mistaken
He admitted before the bill was Intro-
duced that he did not understand the
currency question thoroughly Has
he been able to master it in three
months? Other men who have stud-
ied money and lta ramifications
through the avenues of peace for
years are ready to confess today that
they are still groping The lsw Is to
go into operation. There will be no
more surprise in Washington at its
failure to do what it !• intended to do
than at its success. On currency
matters the lawmakers have been
guasslng and now after all the weeka
of debating It can still be said that
perhaps one man's guess is as good
as another's.
