"The wholesalers' stocks of goods, especially cotton goods," said Mr. Hope, "are small, considerably below the average, and it looks to me like the replenishing of their depleted stocks to a. point where they can take care of spring business in any sort of a reasonable manner, is going to create a considerable volume of business for the manufacturers of cotton goods."

THE SYSTEM IS ONE OF ABSOLUTISM Congress Can Make Laws/and Judges May File Decrees, But the Little Secret Body that Controls Money is ureaier tnari rarnamcni nans, Judges or.Generals. The prosperity of the nation is in the hands of the Federal Reserve Board. It can. it has proved, destroy prosperity - no matter how hard men may work, or how propitious general circumstances are. v This Board is composed of seven men whose training has beep in the thought and precepts of thtr moneylending or salary-earning class. They are men whose interest it /Is to keep commodity prices low so that their own incomes, which do not come from production, shall have a maximum^ purchasing power. They are men versed in the axioms of textbooks. They are dealers in money. Just as any .man seeks to get a maximum price for the product in which hedeals, so they like to get the fullest possible return for I heir product? mon ey. 1 ,'ivov; HIGH IHC'Vl ill i cl.? iw in their set policy to prevent the public from knowing: what they intend to do. They breathe the atmosphere of concealment. They take no counsel with those whose fortunes they command. They have been said to hold in their hands the mightiest power ever before committed in all human history to any body of men. So they do. The effect of their edicts travels with the sun around the earth. They arbitrarily can determine whether a/man shall pay back exactly what he owes, or twice what/ he owes, or half what he owes. They fix-the prices, not in the United States, only, but, in a general sense, everywhere. They hold the master key to the dark chambers or disaster. They can fill a land with suicides or brides. They can determine the birth rate and the death rate. No Caesar ever paralleled them in autocratic use of power. Such power and such use of poxVer cannot be countenanced In a republic. \\ e have suggested that the Federal Reserve Board and the Interstate Commerce commission be compelled to hold open hearings. We have suggested that the public is entitled to notice of intent if the Federal-Resene Board is contemplating some radical and basic change in financial conditions; that the public must have the right to appear and present its side of the case. Of what value is it to be allowed to elect a congress, which must debate and argue for months before enacting even a revenue or a tariff bill, when the most both combined can do is to tax the nation, say $5,000,000,000 or $(i.'JOO.OOO.OOO in a year, whereas the Federal Reserve board, answerable to nobody, without notice of any sort, can, as it did, tax the agricultural industry alone more than $8,000,000,000 in the space of a feAf short months? Must the public have the husks of authority only? The right of petition is guaranteed them by the constitution and is never denied by congress. But this autocratic body of sevpn men is empowered to work its will without interference by petition, or hearing, or argu ment. or protest. It does as it pleases, arrogating to jtself such power as the Supreme Court has never dared to exercise. Every reader who thinks as we da that the Federal Reserve Board and the Interstate Commerce Commission should be compelled by law to give notice in advance of contemplated changes in policy, affording an opportunity for open hearings, and that a record should be kept and made public of the position taken by each and every member of either the hoard or the commission in voting on the issues involved, should for patriotic as well as selfish reasons, urge on his representative in congress, and on his senators, and on his neighbors, the extreme importance of having such a law enacted at the earliest possible moment. Otherwise the dread of panic hangs always over the heads of the people. This is one revision of the fundamental law that cries so loudly fur enactment that not a dozen congressmen in Washington can be found openly to oppose it. ANOTHER VARMINT TALE Big Bear Believed to be at Large in Union County, N. C. Union county is the latest to come forward,with a varmint story, according to the following from the Mineral Springs correspondence of the Monroe Journal. Quite a lot of excitement was caused here recently by the appearance of some strange wild, animal, believed by many to have been a bear, it visited the homes of Sam Alexander, colored, Mr. John Baker and your correspondent. No damage was dor.e except dogs and stock were terrorized. At the home of your correspondent a mule was so scared that it was impossible to keep him in the barn. Perspiration literally ran down his back, lie was so frightened. \\ hen t.ic animal reached the place of Mr. John Baker it gave vent to the most hair-raising sound ever heard in this section. It sounded more like a calf in excruciating agony than any other sound that L can recall except it was short and staccato. TL continued yelling for about two minutes. Meanwhile, a posse was formed, but by the time it had arrived on the scene the animal had gone to the woods near the old Xesbit mine. On I ready to serve o | times.
