Career of one of the first U.S. senators from Oklahoma.
Published in 1919 and written by Robert L. Owen, who, at the time was a Senator of Oklahoma and the Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Banking and Currency, this volume is a history and explanation of the Federal Reserve Act.
In this address, Robert Latham Owen makes a stirring case for peace during a time of war. Drawing on his own experiences as a senator and diplomat, he argues that the democratic principles of the United States are incompatible with the militarism and aggression of the European powers.

The hagiography generated by his disciples did neither his name nor reputation much good, since they transformed the 'Social Father' of their movement into the 'Father of Socialism', a sobriquet that ill fits him, yet it sticks to this day. Ian Donnachie's study is the first full biography of Owen for over fifty years."--BOOK JACKET.
