Politic and pull won out in the location of the regional reserve banks. There Is no other way to express It. Daep rooted and deopsealed partisanship hare triumphed when sober business judg ment, geography and right should have obtained. That about tells tha story ot the twelve cities selected as regional bank oenters. according to the Consensus ot opinion In public life today.. ' - If the repeat ot tha free tolls clause of the Panama canal act .paMea. In JN1 Is the goal the administration la attempting to accomplish, then Frtejdeni wnson s -visit to Senator Stone, chairman of the foreign relations committee, during his confinement to the house recently on ac count of illness, becomes plainly under standable, for Missouri get two reservo centers, Kansas City and Bt. 'Louis, greatly to the astonishment of every member In congress except those ot tha Missouri delegation, who Had, been pre viously advised of this most- unusUal hap pening. While It was not by any means deemed certain that Omaha, would become a re gional center, Nebraska's commanding position, not only geographically but the stability' of Its banks, thelr'-riumbar; and the, further fact that there had been but few 'failures In the prairie state for a de cade, gave those Interested in the location of one of these reserve centers In Ne braska hope that tha committee having tha naming ot regional benk centers would select Omaha aa ona of tha twelve clUes. Two In Missouri Shock. Those who have been supporting the hands of the present administration were thunderstruck today when they read the results of the committee's work and found that Omaha had been attaohed to Kansas City, and at tha same time real ised that St. Louts had also been desig nated by the same token as one of the twelve places for reserve bank purposes. And yet when the complexion of the committee Is understood, the decision of the gentlemen having the selection ot reserve cities In charge, however remark able, ought not be unexpected, according to a senator who has been as hard hit as anybody In the decision ot the or ganization committee. All Southern Men. Secretary tacAdoo, who was appointed from New York, halls from Tennessee; Secretary Houston, who Is' accredited to Missouri, Is a Texan at heart, while John Skelton Williams, the comptroller of the currency, Is a Virginian born and bred. This may account for the selection of the number of cities in the south over and above those that had a right to he con sidered In the' running. Democrats are up in arms over the se lection of Richmond as against Bait! more, nor can they understand how Dallas waa selected as against New Orleans. These are things that probably require a good deal of explanation, and in all probability a resolution or two will be Introduced calling for more complete de tails than contained in the committee's announcement given to the public last night. To have failed to give the great inter mountain west a .bank located at either Denver, Bait Lelte City, Portland or Seat tle, after passing over ' Omaha, caused the greatest amount of speculation t$day among the members of congress who were seen by The Bee correspondent. Great Wdt Ignored. Why Omaha was Ignored and Kansas City and St. Louis named created no end ot talk; but why the committee Jumped from the Missouri river to San Fran cisco, Ignoring all the cities above men tioned, like the peaoe of Qod passes all understanding, and It has left a whole lot of Intensely sore spots. To Senator Hitchcock the brushing aBlde of Omaha's: claims for a regional bank was no surprise; In fact, he is frunk to say that It was what he had expected. There are other things about the whole matter, however, that did sur prise him tremendously and likewise aroused his resentment. "While I am not so much surprised that .Kansas City got what she did," 'said Senator Hitch cock, "I am surprised and disappointed that Omaha Is put In the Kansas City district. I consider that a violation ot the spirit and even the. letter, of the law, because the law provides-that In arranging the district they shall con form to the banking customs and bust new transactions of the communities forming the respective districts. Omaha and Kstnaaa City. 'In other words communities shall be connected with bank centers with which they are accustomed to doing business. Omaha has no connection of thla nature with Kansas 'City, all our relations be Ing naturally with Chicago, 'for tha cur rents of business run east and west and north and south. It is an actual disloca tion of these currents to set our reserve city at Kansas City, where our banks have not kept any deposits and have no reason to do so. I shall follow out 'my Intention to make a protest to the fed eral reserve board when It la formed. That board Is the only authorit that can reacn tne action or tne organiza tion committee Just taken. I expected that we .would be placed. In tha Chicago district because of our relations there and because tha law specifically, two. vldes. ihat these things" be taken into account." 3 .But there are ,-othars,vJn; .-Washington who believed that Nebraska would beVse- DuBehj F Bails A Sanatorium This Institution Is the only one In the central west with separate buildings situated in their own ample grounds, yet entirely dis tinct, and rendering It possible to classify cases.

Con gressman Sloan had every reason to ex pect this and he expressed absolute dis appointment over the failure of the com mittee to take Into consideration the state's commanding position. Par Outclassed by Mlssonri. Mr. Sloan said: "While I would have liked to have seen Lincotn aeoure a regional bank, of course, naturally, Omaha commanded larger attention be cause of Its enormous business Interests, its railway connections, north, south, cast and west, and because of Its strong bann ing power which has stood tha pressure of hard time, and unlike some cities which I will nof mention. Ought to have been one of the first to be selected. 'The pity ot It all Is that Nebraska was regarded by the committee as ,so much less than even a portion of Mis souri." representative Magulre, who. naturally had an .ambition that Lincoln 'would be selected, frankly stated thai; he expected Nebraska would no. recbnlxed'as, a locu tion for one' of the reserve banks. "Ofj course,"'. said Mr4 Mngulre, "Jour bankers and our people will be. pleased to know that they ire not led up With some far western bank. At one time-1 una? retopa that we were in serious danger or being attached to a western reterye center, arid? that would not have been acceptable to our people at all. x cannot, noweyar, reconcile the selection of Kansas City and St. Louis. That; to my mind. Is wrong, and i shall nohcsltate to say to." riartqn n Mltengr.
