Considering the depression which has
prevailed generally during the past year" I"
the commissioners observe in connection
with this showing, "the statements and
reports herein contained are matters of
congratulatlon showing, as they do, the
strength and soundness of the financial in
stltutions of the State. and that healthy
and steady growth has been made"
Referring to the banks III liquidation
the report says:
real estate market, banks in liquidation are
not making the progress we would wish, and
IT IS delicate question for this commission to
determine whether it is for the best interest of
those concerned to force the sale of lands on
the present dull market, or whether we may
not reasonably hope that by little patience
better results will be realized in the near future.
The following reference is made to the
new bank act, with a recommendation of
further amendments, so as to bring about a
complete separation of savings banks from
other financial Institutions:
Since our last annual report the law govern
ing this commission has been amended. CIV
ing the board increased power and greatly
adding to its responsibilities.
!, Asst has been less than two months since
the new law was put in force, it is yet too early
to speak OF its workings, but We have every
reason to hope for good results. We would
recommend that the law be again amended TO
prevent the practice of permitting savings
banks 10 be conducted in the same room with
commercial banks, and governed by the same
officers. We believe the practice 10 be per-
nicious and fraught with danger. On this
subject the recently amended banking law of
the State OF New York reads: "No savings
bank hereafter incorporated shall do business
or be located in the same room OF in any room
communicating with any bank or National
banking Institution
In the same act 1t is made unlawful for a
majority of the board of trustees of any saw
lngs bank 10 belong TO the board of directors of
any other bank or National banking institu-
tion- We respectfully recommend that our
Jaw be so amended as 10 conform to that of
New York in this regard.
We would further recommend that savings
banks be prohibited from taking from any in
dividual deposits TO exceed in the aggregate
$4,000, and that in commercial banks no
oihceF, director or employe should be per-
mitted TO borrow from the sink with which he
is connected sum TO exceed 10 per cent OF its
paid-up capital.
This is the seventeenth annual report,

following:

eign banks, .; private banks. is; National
oanSs, 81; banks in voluntary liquidation, 3;

A WOman's Character.

Remember this, young man-Be
careful how you speak of a woman's
character. Think how many years
she has been building it, of the tolls
and privations endured, of the wounds
received, and let no suspicious follow
her actions. The purity of woman is
the salvation Of the race, the hope OF
future greatness and the redemption
of man. Wipe out her purity and
man sinks beneath the wave OF de-
spair with not star to guide his life
into a channel of safety. Think,
then, before you speak, and remember
that any hog can root up the fairest
flower that ever grew, SO the vilest
man can ruin the purest WOman's
character.-EX
