CHECK ON BANK FRAUDS.

Every Employe Should he Compelled to
Take . Yearly Vacation.
Every president or other superior
officer of bank should be required to
take at least one months vacation in
course of each year. This should be.
regarded as matter Of courtesy, but
should be insisted upon by everv board
of directors which has the true inter
ests of his stockholders at heart. The
bank presidents who are members Of
the clearing house committee should
set all other bank officers good ex-
ample in this respect. During the
month that the president is away his
work must be done by some one else.
During the month that the cashier is
absent some one else must perform his
duties. The same with the head book
keepers and others in superior places
In the banks employment. There cam
not, says the New York Sun, be
more healthy ventilation Of banks
methods than to have compulsory
annual vacations Granting the yaca-
tions Of presidents and others, the next
obvious thing is to shift all the In
ferior employees Of each bank at inter-
walls more or less frequent, but always
less than . year. The advantages of
having . man, or rather . human
machine, perfect at one ledger are en-
tirely. over-borne by the freedom
from fraudulent risk and the fexibility
Of method insured by changing the
mere clerks around. A clerk of ten
years service in bank should b able
to fill any place in It under the eye Of
president. But how will he ever at
tain the necessary knowledge If his ten
years labor has been on one ledger
marked A to e?
Lastly, there Is an absurd fiction that
bank clerks time Ii his Own oatsids
of business hours. This aAould DO ex-
ploded by the latest defaleation. If the
directors OF hank happen to find out
that the president is taking ssflyers"

DioNlFlED BUT ILL-MANNEREu


Such. In tho opinion OF : western Lawyer.
e the Federal Supreme Court.
II am q lawyer from western city
in Washington on business" said Al
fred Fremont to q writer for the Wash
ington Star. 81 have seen the sights
on other visits and find myself with an
idle afternoon. I recall that the SUI
preme court is in session, the most au-
gust judicial tribunal in the republic,
whose members are the very embodi-
ment of the majesty and dignity of the
law. I conclude to go there with q
reverent feeling, hoping for baptism
of the spirit which will inspire me to
better efforts in my profession. enter
the chamber with mu1led tread. There
sit their judicial majesties in awful ar
ray in their great high backed, padded
chairs and most of them apparently
asleep. But I reflect that such po-
sition with closed eyelids is conducive
to abstract attention and reflection.
They are pondering deeply the argu-
ments of counsel, a man of age and
dignity who has perhaps spent months
in preparing for this occasion, which
to him is the high-water mark in his
professional life. Suddenly one of the
Judges rouses himself and makes some
remark to his left. 1t is evidently ir-
relevant to the case, for both laugh and
pass it down the line to right and left.
It provokes comment and retort back
and forth and smiles and mods until
the whole court is engaged with itself,
while the poor lawyer, on his feet, not
daring to notice the inattention and
discourtesy even by a momentary
break in his speech, plungcs hopeless
ly on, realizing that his carefully pre-
pared argument is receiving no atten-
ton. When the irrelevant subject is
exhausted the judges settle back into
impressive, high-browed silence, which
is broken again and again as they lean
over and talk to each other right or
left or call page or examine docket,
write note or retire to the ante-room.
''But this is not the worst, for just
as the clock strikes four-at the very
first tstrokeSwithoutev even so much as L
beg pardon or May l interrupt you?'
the chief justice breaks in: Adjourn
court in the very midst Of the speak
e-'s sentence, and all the judges jump
up and are off as though they were SO
many laborers in trench throwing
down their picks at the stroke Of the
hour. The constitution insures them
their offices during good behavior :
What pity good behavior had not
been defined to include courtesy and
politeness toward the bar, whose mem
bers, appearing before them. are OFF,
GERS of the court, charged with the
equal duty and dignity of maintaining
the laws and securing justice! Why
should there be two codes of ethics or
etiquette for the same court. one re-
quiring from the most venerable prac-
titioner the utmost Difference, while it
permits absolute rudeness from the
court? These men of the bench are re-
fined gentlemen, observing the forms
and usages OF polite society, and how
such rudeness can have become the
practice of this great court is prob
lem to lawyer from the west. where
judges are models Of judicial courtesy
and dignity"

Fattening Poultry.


By the term 'fattening' is meant. not the
mere laying on of an excessive quantity of
fat or oil but rather the addition of just
so much fat as is necessary, combined
with as mitch flesh the bird can be rea-
sonablv got to carry. There are those who
say that a fowl is the better If taken up
out Of the poultry yard and killed without
any process of fattening; but this IS open
to question.
With regard to the food IL will he seen
that the system Of feeding ordinarily en-
poyed VIII not answer for fattening. Such
grains as maize. rice buckwheat and bar
ley are invaluable for fatteniug poultry.
for i'm them the elements which go to make
bone and feathers and muscle are not 50
strongly present as in some others. Buck
wheat and barley are of themselves the
least valuable Of these four for fattening.
but they have qualities Of flavor which are
most useful and the deficiency in the one
direction can h. overcome by the addition
Of "a little fat In France some of the prin-
cipal f8tfeners make buckwheat the chief
article Of food. whilst others use equal
proportions OF bUckwheat and barley meals
Food for fattenine poultry should always
be given in the form Of meal. as the diEes-
tioq ~ soft food is much easier than grain.

Farming. East and West.
East Washingtonian.


Mr.. G. n. Seeley returned home the 9TH
er day from an extended visit with his
parents III Rushvllle H.. and a tour
through the states of Illinois, Minnesota
and Iowa. Mr.. Seeley is an intelligent
man and a close observer, and having
been q farmer himself naturally picked
up some points that may be Of interest
to the people of this section of the coun-
try He noticed that a great change had
taken place in farm methods during the
quarter OF a century that has elapsed
since he left that region of country. Land
that was considered worthless has by the
aid of fertilizers been made 10 produce
abundantly. Then it was poor farmer
indeed that did not own from 80 TO 800
acres Of land; now he is a prominent and
prosperous land holder who holds d clear
title to eighty acres.
The old settlers had to toll, deny them
selves indoors and cut, in order 10 acquire
homes Of their own; the idle and shiftless
had to move on. Some Of those early
settlers have made much more than a
living they have added field 10 field until
the enhanced value of the whole has made
them wealthy. Some have just lived.
held on 10 their soil and are quite well-to-
do. A large per cent. could not thrive.
and have sold out. crossed the plains and
sought new homes in the West. Homes
there are being earned and acquired even
now. but the ways are far different from
living and waiting. Land is worth from
800 10 sl25 per acre-land, too. that with
out the aid of fertilizers wouldn't raise
white beans. The poor man TO get a
farm there must exercise industry, intel
Igence economy and self-denial. Here
he may have something just as good for
rhe asking.
In order TO appreciate a new country
one must occasionally take a glimpse a.
the business methods well as the his
tory of the older ones. In Illinois the cow
yields golden profits. and her attention
turns into money The calf is raised.
hogs multiply. the sheep increase. the
chickens help, all farm animals improve,
the pastures grow more annually, the
fields return more and more and the sur
plus is applied where needed or laid up
for a rainy day.
Mr. Seeiey is not discouraged over the
outlook In Garfield county. He says bet
ter methods of farming will make every
acre of our wheat raising soil pay hand
somely. Within ten years the great ma
jority of Garfield county farmers will be
prosperous and contented, laying up some
money every season.
