CONSIST Oi Sn aud Items readily con-
verted into cash"
The idea Of the comptroller in making
this statement public is to show the fal-
lacy OF the theory that everything is
going to rack aud ruin because banks
are closing their doors here and there.
If people who have money Oh deposit
were not panic stricken and did
not join In wild and unlustiti-
able runs, many banks which
are now closed would have remained
open and be doing healthy business.
The Comptroller thinks that to give
publicly to such cases will show the
public the folly Of being frightened
without cause.
A WORD ABOUT MIR. ECKELs.
One Of the most unique figures Of the
present administration is James II.
Eckels, whose ability in the discharge
OF his duty as Comptroller Of the Cur
rency has so thoroughly disappointed
his critics, and confirmed the judge
ment of the President In his appoint
ment. Little was known OF Mr.. Eckels
before his appointment. He was a
practieing lawyer from Ottawa, ILL.,, a
writer on tariff subjects, aud friend OF
the President. Mr.. Eckels was born in
Princeton, H., In 1883. he graduated
from the public schools Of that city In
1876. Later he entered the Albany
IN. W Law School, and graduated in
lsSO. He returned to Illinois, and prac-
ticed law up to the time of his appoint
ment.

The Newspapers.

The newspaper is essentially a
commercial enterprise-the prepar-
alton and putting upon the mar
ket of something to sell. 1t is of
the same nature as an ordinary
merchants. The rule in every we'll
regulated shop is that the clerks
shall not discuss religion, politics or
any disputed topic with the Gus
toners. Where the editorial de-
partment of newspaper enters in
to the enterprise the commodity
offered for sale is opinions, and a
constituency is therefore presumed
to be in the market which is willing
to pay for seeing the opinion, in
print. But the fact is that no pa
per limits its solicitation of trade to
any special constituency. It solicits
advertisements from all classes, it
prints news for all classes, and in
various other ways appeals to all
classes. Editorials which please
only one class and displease many
others are a drawback to the paper,
without being an advantage to the
reader.-Boston Review.

Gus little respect for the man who,
when he wants to win worldly ad-
vantages, uses worldly argument,
making the admission that the
heavenly one is insufficient for prac-
tical purposes-the man who claims

scends to the boycott. Elk.
