The savings banks are tottering
on all sides. 1t was not to be expec-
ted that the storm which engulfed
railroads, insurance companies and
business men should pass them un-
touched. The most lamentable fact
is that these concerns have been rotten
for years, and should not have been
allowed to impose upon the public.
Indeed, it is question if all savings
banks, trust companies life and fire in
surance companies and such corpora
tions should not be compelled by a
national law to have their accounts
audited by a professional auditor
whose qualification should be suitably
vouched for. There would be fewer
defalcations covering a long period
were the accounts of all corporations
and business firms annually audited
by disinterested expert.

day evening for Kansas. Their destination was
Wichita, where his brother resides When there
he will cast about and see what is best We regret
to lose as citizen as worthy and accomplished

him and his wherever he may be.

City, on Monday.
Mr.. 0udet, who edited for short time in 1S4S a
German paper in Canton, and for longer period
in Wooster, called upon us on Monday. He is
