MR. HowErI.s GOOD MANAGEMENT
NJ Howell was formerly New-York agent Of
the Hudson River Shoe Company. OF Poughkeep-
sic and now lives in that city. A month ago
he resigned as president Of the sherman
Bank on account. It is said. OF opposition
from some OF the directors to certain re-
forms he wished to bring about In the banK
management Mr. Howell carried the bank
through the financial panic ana the MauiSo',
Souarc Bank complications Of last summer ana
when he resigned he was complimented by the
state Ranking Department for his eflcient work.
Mr. Howell said yesterday that the deposlts
doubled I'm the time he had charge or the Dank.
and that he had charged off $4,000 Of the banks
surplus for bad loans made previous TO MS
administration. Mr.. Howell made an effort. after
the failure Of the Madison Square Bank, 70
secure its consolidation with the sherman on
condition that certain loans TO directors OF the
former Institution were paid up. The scheme
fell through.

president of the Sherman Bank In place OF Mr..
Howell. About the same time w j. Arkcll was
elected n director and DR.. Parker. or the United

the March statement Of the bank the Item OF
liability of directors as per scnedue Vas
Makers is placed at $24,9IO %. or ABOUT ~ per
cent of the total capital and nominal surplus.
While there is no impropriety in the large per-
centage Of the loans TO directors. the hgures are
considered in financial circles as fulIy up 70 'he
limit which is regarded as wise.
Bank Examiner Albert c. Judson was seen at
the Park Avenue Hotel but would make 10
statement to the condition or the paiIts.

all depositors will be paid in full; as TO the
stOckholders we must walt till our examinations

HE SAYS THE BANK is SOLVENT.
Louis c. Fuller, the new president of the Sher-
man Bank said in the afternoon: Il can say
positively that the bank is thoroughly solvent
and it's capital is unmpared. The bank ex-
aminer's report will satisfy the public as to the
sound condition Of the bank. The loans nave
been placed with great care and consist largely
of paper discounted for merchants and business
men in the neighborhoCd. Mr. Fuller said that
no could not understand why the Clearing House
Committee should refuse 10 allow the United
States National Bank to clear for the Sher-
man. He did not believe that there would Nave
been any trouble II DR.. Parker had been here.
DR. Parker Is now in the West for rest. Wnen
he returned Mr. Fuller thought that the Clearing
House Committee would change its mind. ana
permit the clearing 10 be made by the United
States National.
Mr. Fuller explained that the reason why the
Sherman Bank wished to change its clearing
agent was to have the $4,000 which is now held
by the Central National as security for its work
transferred to the United States National Bank.
so that II could be counted in the Sherman
Banks reserve by the State Banking Super n
tendent. II could not be so counted at present.
because the Central National Bank did not per-
nit the superintendent 10 examine It's affairs.
while the United States National did so.

 speet as will not sometime yield undel sufIieient pressure, It is true enougi of these men of divided morality tha every one has his price, IL Ia men wh' are moral from principle. who arr righteous all the way through. that car be trusted.
 No notion in more firmly imbedded if the popular mind than that man wht habitualiy breaks nine commandment' can be trusted to keep the tenth-thal a drunkard won't lie; that a gambler won't steal; that a libertine. the most absurd humbug Of all. may be depend matters. All these partially immoral men may live and die with a moral record clear in other respects for lack | Of sufficient temptation. but they ara just the men who have got a price when the time comes. Of one of the senators whom nobody doubts to be thick in the | sugar scandal man who knew told me this summer that his private life at Washington was notorious: that he | was leper. Do you expect principle, devotion to public interests. Of such a man2 Only to that point where other interests are not stronger. Did you ever know "A libertine who wouldn't lie? Then all have got to say Is, no sufficient pressure has ever been brought to bear upon him to make him lie. For such men to pose as the devo- tees of any virtue Is nonsense. They are broken reeds. and no broken reed Is to be trusted. You can't ring the bark of a tree and have 1t sound. You | can't weaken the pier of bridge and have it safe. But there are men that won't lie; men you cannot buy. and they are men whose cloak of morality Is woven like Christ's without seam, who are not good in sections. but who stand or fall to God on one great prin- ciple of the eternally right.
 From childhood up we hear too much talk about the weakness and imperfec- ton of human nature. and men think Well. I will take my share of weak ness out in this line" It is true that In inward character, in grace of out ward life, no man reaches perfection, but in times rough working morality there Is a perfection which every man can attain and every man must attain before he is trustworthy.
 With the nations scandal for pie ture to look at isn't 1t worth our while to remember this in our business and our politics. No man will be true to his constituents in the long run who isn't true to his wife. A man who will gam ble, though he were the Prince of Wales, put your bribe high enough and in the right shape to confuse his con- ventional code of honor, and he will take it. In that stiffening of our own moral life let us remember that honor Is not of conventionality, but of God, and that 1t is an all-around honor or 1t is no honor at all, but just a whim.

GOOD ROADS.
The Local Option Law of 1898 TO be
Submitted In Some Counties.

JEFFERSON CITY, Oct. 13.-The
good road movement is taking strong
hold upon the people of Missouri
and it is probable hal m the nea
future the highways of the State
will be in a condition to be proud of.
In Galloway and Phelps and other
counties the local option road law
will be submitted to the voters at
the regular election in November.
This is a new law, to be found in
the Session Acts of 1898, page 225.
In substance it provides that on
the petition of 100 qualified voters
of the country the County Court
shall make en- order OF record that
this act shall be submitted to the
voters of the county, and if upon
such vote a majority of the votes
are cast for the proposition then the
same becomes the law. When the
law is adopted the County Court
shall appoint a Supervisor of Roads,
who shall hold Office for n year.
He shall have general supervision of
all roads in the county
A poll tax of 50 is imposed upon
every male inhabitant of the county
over q and under 60 years, which,
together with a tax of not less than
10 and more than 90 cents on the
800 valuation of real and personal
property shall be paid to the County
Collector and by him turned over
to the County Treasurer and by the
treasurer placed to the county road
fund. The work on the roads is
done under contracts entered into
by the Supervisor and approved by
the County Court.
| The law does not apply to incor-
| porated cities, towns or villages.
