A JUICY LEMON.

AS an illustration Of the way the assets
of a bankrupt insurance company are
grabbed up without benefiting the unfortu-
nate policy holders the ST. Louis Republi-
can relates the disposition of the fund be-
longing to the Columbia Life Insurance
company, as it was developed by a suit
brought by an attorney in the circuit court
of st. Louis against the receiver of the
company. This company had been in the
hands OF the receiver for several years for
the purpose Of winding up its affairs and
distributing its moneys to its creditors, and
here are the figures showing how the work
has been done: Total receipts, 1926, S57;
total expenses, 1921, 72O; balance to be dis
tributed to claimants, S105, 1877. Of the
total receipts twO-thirds go for expenses
and One-third to honest claimants. From a

THE COURT-MARTIAL.

The fact that Gov. HUBBARD has ordered
coult-martial to try Col. BEND is all in
dicatiOn that the governor stands by Adiu-
tant Gen. MACCARTHY. and that the gal
liant colonel was a little previous when he
intimated that the adjutant general didn't
know what he was about when he used the
governors name to the order. Inasmuch
as the other matters involved in the contro-
versy will be subjects of investigation by
the court-martial, public discussion of
them would be improper until they are passed
upon and determined by the court Gov. HUB
BARD has acted very discreetly in this mat
tersince his return home, refusing to discuss
it through the public press, keeping his own
counsel and has doubtless acted according
to his convictions of duty to the state
and to the parties concerned in the imbrog-
lilo. At all events there will be a suspen-
sion Of public judgments in relation to the
merits Of the quarrel between Gen. MAC
CARTHY and Col. BEND until the verdict
of the court has been rendered.

drainage. We have no disposition to die
tate to Minneapolis what it should do in
this matter, but it does occur to the ordinary
observer that the sewerage system which
the city has commenced to construct is the
wisest improvement it has ever undertaken,
and it would be folly to abandon it at this
stage because of an imaginary danger that
ST. Anthony falls will be undermined,
and the consequent destruction of its
great water power. At the same
time, i'll view of the fact that an alarm has
been sounded. and there will be future un-
eaSiness until the matter is definitely set
tied, the council will be compelled to go
ahead and make thorough investigation.
And if after such an investigation, it
should turn out that we are wrong in our
opinions, and that there really exists the
danger which is dreaded, then in a spirit of
sisterly kindness we extend an invitation to
our Minneapolis neighbors to move right
over to st. Paul, where they will find city
built on rock foundation and which will
not fall when the rains descend upon it or
the floods come against it.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

In his talk with the GLOBE this morning
Col. ROBERT S. GARDNER, the Oldest In
dian inspector in the service Of the United
States government, dispels the prevalent
belief that the Indian races are rapidly
dying out. He says that instead of becom-
ing extinct they are holding their own in
nearly every tribe. Col. GARDENERS ex-
perience among the Indians entities his
opinions to great weight and in this par
ticular his statement is confirmed by the
unprecedented census of the Indian
tribes, which shows that they are not de-
creasing in numbers to any perceptible ex-
tent. Col. GARDENERS opinion that the
solution of the Indian problem is in educa-
ton and the acquisition Of property by them
is so much in accordance with any common
sense view of the situation that there should
be no controversy about the correctness of
it. The fact that he has observed consid-
cradle improvement in the condition of the
Indians since efforts toward educating them
have been made is valuable testimony in
behalf of an educational policy.

THE BIG SCARE.

All the probabilities are that the people
of Minneapolis suffered from an unneces-
sary panic yesterday because of an appre-
hension that their great water power was
soon to be destroyed. The experience of few
years ago, when real danger did threaten
them, has had the effect of making them
more nervous than they might otherwise be.
The unwise action of the city officials and
leading property holders, who went into a
secret caucus to consult in relation to the
unprecedented danger and then refused to
communicate to- the public the result of
their deliberations, will probably have
the effect Of increasing the alarm
which already existed. The state
ment of the government engineers, who
made personal inspection of the sewer.
that there was no danger to be unprecedented
ought to have been sufficient to allay fears
and to dismiss the subject entirely from the
minds of the people. While the gentlemen
who had charge of the Investigation made
yesterday were careful to caution the news
paper reporters against sensati0nalism it
seems never to have occurred to them that
they themselves We're pursuing the very
course that would create a sensation.
All the theories about the volume of wa

BANK ROBBERIES.


Referring to the discussion which is go
ing on among bank officers regarding the
best means of preventing such thefts and
defalcationS as have of late been unusually
frequent. the New York Tribune repeats
the statement of a prominent bank presi-
dent in that city, who, in speaking of this
matter recently. pointed to a package of
small size containing $1,000, 900, and said
that it was wholly impossible to prevent the
robbery of a bank by its trusted clerks and
officers, that any one of them might carry Off
such a package without the knowledge of
the president or any associates in the bank.
In comparing the old methods OF banking
with the new the Tribune concludes that
the change in the management OF banks be-
cause of the expansion and rapid CONNER
cial system of modern times is the principal
cause for the increase of the crime of bank
robbmg. In the old days the banker made
it his business to acquaint himself with
the character, the circumstances, the
conduct, the associates and the
daily bearing of his trusted subor-
dinates. In these days such watchfulness
would be resented even by the most honest.
The Tribune says: mo man becomes a
thief on the instant or by accident. No
man, who has fair position and good
standing in society, suddenly wrecks it and
destroys his future, and puts himself within
the reach of the law, without a gradual
change in his circumstances, in his conduct
and in his mode Of regarding his duties. In
every case of defalcatiOn or fraud it comes
to light that there had been for some time
change in the conduct, in the habits, in the
associates, or in the business interests of
the guilty subordinate, which, if the officers
of the bank had noticed it, would have put
them Oh their guard. The question is a
proper one, whether the Old-time watchful-
ness and fidelity would not bring back to us
much of the old-time safety. 1t is said that
crimes would often be prevented if photo
graphs of all the persons employed in every
bank were kept constantly On hand. 1t is
urged too, with great truth, that better
extradition treaty, which would secure the
prompt return of criminals from Canada or
from Great Britain, would go very far to
prevent Offenses of this character. And
this is true. But no precautions which the
law can possibly take will ever be so effec-
tive in the prevention of WrOngdOing as
daily, constant, kindly, but faithful and I'M
sleeping WatchfulneSs of all those who hold
fiduciary positions regarding the conduct of
all those with whom they are associated"

Low Rates on Flour and Grain.

The low rate of II cents on grain and
flour, claimed to have been made from Chi
cago to New York, and 1917 cents to Boston,
by the Michigan Central and Blue lines, is
said to be not general or agents of the Blue
fast freight line in st. Paul would have
been notified, which they claim they were
not. This eleven-cent rate, if it was really
made on Saturday, is the lowest that has
been quoted in five years, when a seven
cent rate was general for two days, and
then rates were restored and tariff strictly
adhered to. The general opinion in st.
Paul is that if even one of the Eastern
trunk lines were to reduce the rate below a
paying basis, or below what it really costs
to transport the business, the different lines
in few days would be only too glad to
meet and agree to maintain rates, but as it
is there is very little business moving, and
what there is the railroads take at a small
margin above the cost of handling it.
If there should be no adjustment of affairs
that will lead to a resumption of rates, say
railroad men, there will be a very serious
decrease of net earnings shown in the state
ments of the different companies during the
months of June, July, August and Septem-
Der. The utmost vigilance on the part OF
the officials of the company and the most
vigorous economy cannot increase the guam
tity of freight which the country has to
transport. The positive amount of freight
to be moved is matter that is beyond the
ability of any railroad company to CONTROL
but each corporation necessarily endeayOrs
to carry all it can because any small profit
made over the absolute expense of moving
train is so much toward meeting other
OUTLAWS. AS the New York Central or the
West Shore puts the tariff down
it is necessary that the competing
lines shall meet the cut or lose their
business. Either horn of the dilemma is
disastrous, but it is thought best to make
the reduction, because business is thereby
retained which would otherwise seek other
channels and be lost to those roads that re-
fused to meet the cut, when rates shall
have been restored. The roads have all re-
duced salaries largely so that little more
can be done in that direction. The outlook,
therefore, is not at all eXhilarating
especially as the Vanderbilt lines seem de-
termined to continue the Eastern trunk
line war as long as possible.
