BOOKKEEPERS AND BOOKKEEP
ING.

The cashier of prominent uptown
bank said yesterday that such a
thing ss a perfect system of book
keeping had never been devised and
probably never would be. "When
you think of it, he said, ''bookkeep-
ing is simply a question of mental in
genuity. What one brain can devise
in the way of safeguards another
brain can usually undo, speaking in
general way. The daily papers, in
condemning the banks because of the
moderate salaries paid to bookkeepers
overlook very important fact. The
banks pay the market rates to expert
bookkeepers, which are anywhere
from 81, 800 to $4,000 a year. An al
most unlimited number of men can be
obtained at these figures, and paying
more money would net make the
banks q bit safer, for the simple rea-
son that men Of strong mental powers,
great business capacity and unswerv-
ing integrity are not, as a rule, con-
tent to be mechanical bookkeepers in
large institutions. I do not, of course,
mean to disparage bookkeepers in
any way The point is that the men
who make good bookkeepers are I'M
reliable and steady-going
persons, who are not Influenced by
great ambition and who do not aspire
to lofty places. 1t is not required of
a bookkeeper that he shall have very

The people of the Pacific slope are
fully aware of the fact upon which
is based our solidity, and indeed our
very existence as a state, and that
commercial reciprocation is the foun-
dation of all prosperity. The enlight-
ment of the world, with all the phys
ical and intellectual advantages it
implies, is the mathematical exponent
of its commerce. Let me assure you
that your fellow citizens of the Pa
cific are profoundly imbued with this
fact, which is the handspring of their
aspirations in seeking the closest and
broadest and the cheapest channel of
commercial union with the states of
the Gulf and Atlantic seaboard, the
British islands, and Europe. As pro-
ducers of raw material we of the
Pacific possess unquestionably the
most varied, the richest, and most
abundant supply offered by any other
geographical area of equal extent. If
you demand a metal or mineral, or a
ceral or fruit, give us cheap trans

'I suppose Senator WOlcott is one

But he was, and we decided to put
him on board the morning express.
The wrecking train had thrown the
engine out of the road and cleared

that his father lived in New York.
But she gave the conductor an ad-
dress for a wire.
"We didn't think that he would last
the journey, and about half way

hand hard, and then lay back still.

The Tampa Tribune says that
"the TELEGRAPH evidently agrees
with the Tribune in it's estima, e
of Senator Pasco." The TELE-
GRAPH cannot find grounds upon
which 10 base the hope of the state
deriving any benefit from contin-
uing a man in Office who, during
a term of twelve years, has accom-
Plished nothing beyond the placing
of few personal friends in petty
offices. The Tribune, in speaking
of Mr.. Pasco, ventures the asser-
ton that "thcre is not a single pa
per in Florida that can mention one
act accomplished by the so-calIed
statesmen from Jefferson that
would commend him to the good
graces of the people of this state"
And-we pass.
