done without my suggestion, consent or
approval and also without my knowl-
edge. Yours respectfully,

MEN OF MONEY.
Bankers National Convention
Meets at Baltimore.
Could Draw Check for $780,
100000 and Cash It.
OF THE PRESS
Mr.. Herrick Says Newspapers
are Necessaries of Life
Thinks They Are Not an I'm
mixed Good However.

BALTIMORE, Oct 1O.-The goth annual
convention Of the American Association
of Bankers convened at Ford's opera
house at 1O:30 this morning. Every sec
ton of the union is represented. Secre-
tary Geise of the association says that
the crowds check for $3.50 900, 600 would
be cashed
Addresses of welcome were made by
hon. John p Poe and Mr. EnOch Pratt,
chairman of the Baltimore clearing
house.
Myron T. Herrick Of Cleveland then
delivered an address on the press. He
said:
Mr. President and Gentlemen:
''We have grown to accept the news
paper as one of the necessities of life 1t
enters every department of daily action
and its circulation is as indispensable as
the circulation of money 1t supplies q
natural inherent want. Before it was, it
was wanted. Paul emphasized for COM
ing generations the condition of people
without press, when he declared that
sall the Athenians and stran gers who
were there spent their time in nothing
else but either to tell or to hear some
thing new.
Imagine a people devoting all their
time in obtaining what they can get to-
day for three cents or less. The inhu-
ence Of the press is best known and ap-
preciated when it comes directly in con-
junction with IN opposition to our
business affairs. Last year the attention
of this country, and I might say of al
most the entire civilized world, was
turned to the subject of finance. That
was what all the country wanted to know
about.
Therefore every newspaper in the
land ministered to the wants of its con-
stituents and the peculiar effect of this
journalistic attention on the bank was
such as not soon to be forgotten. 10 say
the least il was q mixed blessing If
the policy of many newspapers helped
to plunge US into our difficulties the
policy Of others helped to extricat7 US
The press was therefore like the knight
whose lance helped to cure the wounds
it made.
The press is the mystic camera which
puts before you daily photograph OF
the world with all it's good and bad; the
magic power which fills homes with the
sweet life and presence of Phillips
other equally famous BOstOnian, John l.
Sullivan, the occasional guest at every
breakfast table. 1t presents the interest
ing details Of the convention of the
worlds parliament of rel gions; also the
report of another day of the Breckin-
rid ge-P Pollard trial
''In touch and GO style. it administers
to the vanity OF one man and at the same
time II an Illustrative wanton way,
throws suspicion on the character of an
other. 1t brings to you the details of the
war in Corea; the courageous utterances
of the young German emperor: in short,
it presents all that is good or bad in the
history of the human race for one day,
written in one day. What almost super
human difficulties must be surmOunted
to write this history even approximately
