The question was asked of the young

person who asked the question indicated
plainly that it was something unusual.

then you will know what it Is TO thorough

saddle advertisements In the backs Of mag

that il couldn't be done. knew it could,

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
RECKLESS BANKING.

The failure of the National Bank Of
Illinois naturally was a great factor in
thefinancial disturbances that followed
in this state and also in Minnesota,
but the worst of that furry, with in
dividual failures also in this state and
In the West as its accompaniment, is
doubtless over, and, aside from the
usual stringencies which always come
at the close of the year, when books
have to be balanced, the state of bust
ness in general seems to be satisfac-
tory. Too much cannot be said against
reckless banking, such as caused the
National Bank of Illinois failure and
the recent suspensions in New Eng
land. One good result of these finan-
cial disturbances will doubtless be
that hereafter directors will really di-
rect, and will not be content to be
passively led by irresponsible officials
to their financial undoing. 1t is the
first step into error that is the most
important and fateful in banking as in
other matters.
It may be added, by the way, that
Comptroller Eckles also ii is to be
hoped, will realize that fact a little
more strongly and waste less patience
and courtesy upon bank officials who
disregard his warnings when the dan
ger line is reached Il is true that
/ government supervision alone is not
sufficient to protect the public against
/ reckless banking, and that directors
must be watchful and also perform
/ their duties. Ii is upon these two
agencies the public relies, and has q
right to rely. If either failsof prompt
discharge of duty, the public is the
sufferer. and the fault, which in som,
cases may be so great as to becOms
criminal, should promptly be PLACED
upon the person or persons derelct Z
their duty.-Chicago Record.
