It has even since been praised as the greatest legislation of its kind in history, as the balance wheel In commercial and banking lines in this nation and as making next to impossible the old fashioned panic. Now without Jhe public having knowledge it seems a hill has passed each house and is nowready for agreement of committees which will prove a puncture in the federal reserve law. The following is from the Chicago Tribune, leading republican newspaper of the west: "If, as is expected, the McFaddenPepper branch banking hill becomes law, congress will have passed a measure opposed to the traditional American principle of local self-gov-ernment. Both houses have passed bills: all that remains is to adjust the minor differences between the measures as approved by house and senate. "Branch hanking, by an inevitable process, places control of the entire credit of a community in the hands of a few powerful bankers. Small hanks are squeezed to the wall in the competition with the vast resources' of the large institutions. Ultimately a few central banks control the economic and industrial development of great territories. "The branch system is absentee landlordism carried into the hanking world. The credit facilities of the small community are placed in th«f hands of a group of directors miles away, interested only in their own financial welfare and capable of furthering or curtailing the community's future progress as their own interests dictate. “It is the small state bank which has been responsible for financing the development of the frontier of America's resources. It has been banking on character which has enabled the young community to grow and which still enables many communities to exist. The branch bank must obey the parent institution, and the parent hank, far away, cannot know the characters of its customers. "One of the very things the federal reserve system was designed to oevrcome was such a private control of capital and credit. The result of branch banking will be to restore the evils which led to 1907. A disinterested agency, such as the federal reserve system, not a great private controlling power, is needed in cas e of bmergency to divert the natural How of funds and extend unusual credit. "Europe has had branch banking for many years. It is the accepted system there. It is also held responsible, principally in England, for many industrial ills, because of the very fact that the local borrower has not been able to get credit from absentee directors who did not know him. "It is unfortunate, w e believe, that congress has seen fit to pass such a measure in this country." Bubbling Over won the fifty-second Kentucky Derby race at Louisville Saturday and a throng of mor e than seventy thousand fans, millionaire and pauper, east and west and north and south, white and black, mingled in the cheers. Its the greatest event annually in the world for those who love the turf. Bagenbaggage came in second and both colts were from the Bradley stables. Hundreds of notables were In the grand stands. Ninety years ago this week the village of Decatur Was laid out. This was then a part of the “wild and woolly” west, where great forests were the homes of wild animals, Indians, birds and other specie. The

Progress while perhaps a little slower than in some sections, his been steady, sane ■ and wise and today we boast of a real community with a real future. We ; are proud of our city and county and wp should celebrate the event In a genuine way. The annual encampment of the Indiana Grand Army of the Republic is being held at Fort Wayne this week and the old “Boys in Blue” and their friends are planning a splendid occasion. The veterans are now few in number and their average age Is past eighty years which means that this is one of the last meetings of its kind which can be held. They were brave men, heroes who fought for a continuation of the Union, who have proven splendid citizens in every way and whose advice and generalship has proven valuable to every one who believes in this country, its traditions and its future. The encampment this week should be and will be one of the real events in this section of old Indiana. Arthur Brisbane, the great editorial writer of the Hearst newspaper syndicate will serve as referee at the fourteenth international 500-mile automobile race in Indianapolis to be held Monday, May 31st. This is a new business for the writer, who, -however, knows ,a thing or two about sports, people and things and will no doubt get by with the job in a satisfactory manner. Harry Daugherty, former attorney general who lias been indicted for graft in New York, declares he is through being the “goat” of republcan politicians and that he will take the lid off when he testifies in his trial, telling the whole truth. Os course that is worrying a lot of folks who feel they might be implicated one way or another. Are you for better homes? Then of course you are for the Bjtter Homes Exposition. It opens tonight Gn Liberty Way. Lets make it a big success, where all the folks of the community gather to talk things over, have a good time and help along a good cause. Fine weather, every body smiling, a hundred people talking about building new homes, every body interested in what they have in their homes —the exposition this week ought to be a whale of a success. __o KSSKKSESSHSKSHKKii ■ TWENTY YEARB AQO TODAY 5 H K 8 From the Dally Democrat File B H Twenty Year* Ago Thla Day K a ■ HHSaBBSHHaaaafitiSSSBBH May 17, 1906—William Kukelman has a finger bitten off by an angry horse.

PUT YOUR CITY ON THE MAP

Success is not of town or place. It’s always of the man. It's not the city where you dwell, it’s how you dream and plan. It’s what you are and what you do which brings success about, Wherever leadership exists the world will find it out. So if your town be little known, it merely waits the chap Who'll be the man and do the thing which puts it on the map. Success is not of size or crowds, it’s always told in deeds. A city gets its glory from the race of men it* breeds. The world discovers first the man, and after that it gives Attention to the distant place wherein he toils and lives. Whene’er a victor rises with the feather in his cap. The fact that he’s a champion puts the city on the map.

Somewhere, in some still humble place known only to the few. The genius of tomorrow waits the work ’twas born to do; And when the brilliant deed shall come which brings about renown The world shall make a pilgrimage unto his little town. '• 4 Then men shall come from distant lands his place of birth to. see. And where he livpd and where- he toiled remembered long shall.be. Oh, dreamer in the hidden haunts, learn this from all the grqat, For you, the place where you abide and all its people wait. Cities acquire their fame from men and not from buildings tall; Stratford shall still be Shakespeare’s town, though nations rise’ and fall. So grow a rose or write a book, do aught which wins renown. Achieve success and from that hour the world shall know your town.

report reveal*. Indiana was second. lowa third, Ohio fourth, and Missouri fifth in the numher of carloads of livestock shipped to producer agencies. The association report lays the success of tne cooperative mechanism to the close cooperation on the part of local shipping associations with state farm bureaus and the American F'arm Bureau Federation. One feature inauguarated by the National Livestock Producers’ Association which effectively shortens the economic path from producer to consumer is a lamb pool which has been conducted for two years, the report states. Under this arrangement lambs are bought and assembled by the national organization in western states and delivered to corn belt farmers for fattening. So far this year, 15,000 lambs have been contracted for by corn belt ‘feeders. Last year more than 70,000 lambs were handled. o Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith have leased the Elghi King residence on Third street and plan to move next month.
