BANK CHECKS. Continued }

The subject of Endorsement of check
Is very important one.
Without an endorsement check can
not be cashed
AS every person handling checks should
do all no can TO facilitate and make easy
the process of handling and banking
checks, it Is desirable that all endorse
checks in the same general way.
For instance, if one person endorses
n check lengthwise OF the check, or upside
down, it causes delay and annoyance to
all subsequent holders Of it.
When you receive IA check and wish to
endorse it, either for the purpose of
cashing IL or depositing 1t in your bank,
yeAi will do we'll to follow this rule:
Holding the check in both hands face
to, raise the right hand over the left and
toward the body. This will bring the
check lengthwise TO your vision. The
end away from you will be the top.
III the check is drawn to your ORDER,
presuming that your name Is Walter
smith, and yon wish to make 1t payable
to John Jones' you endorse it as follows:

This method OF endorsement Is the gen
eral rule and permits of three or four later
endorsements If necessary before the
check reaches the bank upon which IT is
drawn.
Never endorse check drawn TO anyone
else's order unless you have full and com
plete authority to do so.
Though the courts have held that per-
son who endorses "A check for the identifi-
cation of another is not responsible for
the goodness of the check, it is advisable
not To endorse one unless You know the
party drawing it to be absolutely beyond
question as TO responsibility.

Nearly all the large transactions in Wall
street between brokers are settled by GER
titled checks
A broker wishing to settle balance
with another draws check has il certi-
fled by his bank and then presents it to
the other.
THE HANDLING OF CHECKS.
A check is payable Mt bank, not in the
order in which il is drawn, but in the
order in ntwhich IL is presented.
For instance, If John Jones, having
only 800 in tho bank, should give
check for 500 to James Smith today and
another check for 800 TO William Rob
inson tomorrow, and Robinson should
present his check first and have IL cashed,
smith would not get his money from the
bank.
When person issues n check it is sup
posed that he has money in the bank TO
meet IT,. In order that there may be no
uncertainty and delay, business practice
demands that it be presented within
reasonable time
Reasonable time is generally construed
To mean within twenty-four hours of it's
receipt.

His letter is dated at Sulphur Springs
Ark. on Feb. 5. and is, in part, as fol-
lows:
private DalZell, in recent article In
Inc washington Post, wrote long tale
OF woe. He mentioned our 1900, 900 en-
forced oilers, our 100000 tramps. the
overcrowding of our penal institutions,
the increase of landlords and tenants,
the hopeless increase of debt and a long
list of other lamentable conditions"
In conclusion, he said:
Civilization. as Napoleon said OF
armies. travels on it's stomach. ard 1t is
very hungry now. for the most part.
But where can it be filed? Hence all
this unrest, all this wild war talk and
discussion of silver and gold AMI the
tariff by people who have neither silver
nor gold, nor anything to pay customs.
Relief shall not come in that way. 1t
never did at this stage of society. twill
come in the old way. in war and not
otherwise. either insurrectionary. which
God forbid. or foreign, which heaven
hasten, if it shall quiet this people and
give them rest. II only the honored rest
Of patriots grave, fighting for human
ity."
Replying directly to the sentence
quoted. Mr.. Sovereign goes on TO saw
that what the people of the United
States need is an agitation at home that
will force them to test against their
own social and economic disorders, but.
that 1t should come through insurrec-
ton, with all its revolving horrors, is
proposition repulsive to all the higher
impulses of humanity.
Continuing. he says:
Instructions, like great conflarra.
tons, start with spark and are
quenched only with a deluge. One req.

starving and debt-burdened people. ia
more potent in exciting war than a
thousand reasons against insurrection
