served his people faithfully, ably
and well at Washington. The Fifth
district has every reason in h
world TO feel proud of its represent
alive in congress. This is one OF
the most important districts In h
nation, and it is a source of gratih-
cation to the democracy TO know
that 1t is represented by a man
whose ability, lofty purposes, and
high moral and mental character
are such as to secure and retain the
respect of every u in public or
private life with whom he ONE IN
contact. William 5. Cowherd is a
product of Missouri and the Fifth
district. lie is a Missourian by
birth, by education and by adop-
,ion; a lit man to represent the
greatest Missouri district in the
halls of congress. He has been in
public life for several years, and the
highest eneonlium hat can be
passed upon hum is that the cloud
of suspicion w rose over a pub
lie or private act of his. In the neat
of campaigns even, the republicans
have never been able TO ''trump
up' a single charge against him

-FOUR GRADES OF swINDLEs.
BY Which the People Of This Country Ha,
Been Heavily Robbed.

by Which the People Of This Country Have
Been Heavily Robbed.
Thomas ]. Fitzmorris, of the Omaha
Bee, read an interesting paper on The
Fruits of National Methods" The pa
per was a denunciation of the alleged
riotous extravaganza of some managers
of national building associations. With
in the last twenty years he estimated
that the people of this country have
been robbed of 800, 0O0. 900 through the
medium of four grades Of swindles or
gained on the benevolent plan. Ma
tional Building and Loan Associations. -
he proceeded, differ from these frauds
only in degree. They bear the mask
OF legitimate cooperation. Their prom
ises are equally lavish. and their per-
formances as melancholy for sharehold-
ers." The result was that state after
state had enacted laws restricting their
methods or prohibiting their operation.
Graveyard insurance companies were
highly respectable compared with these
fraudulent national building associa-
tons. They were not satisfied with
their harvest of dollars, but sought to
fortify themselves with state laws after
the manner of Minnesota. II was a
death struggle in which honesty
triumphed. The attempt TO en-
large upon the plan of local
associations" said he. has proven dis
astroUs. For years to come the name
building and loan association will be to
every victim by-word and reprocch.
The locals must therefore strive to re-
gain the public confidence shaken by
the nationals"
William c. Shepard, of Grand Rapids.
Mich, spoke on Collective Capital. -
He thought it probable that the tend :
ency to Capitalization of capital now SO
marked throughout the world will re.
ceive no decided check until IL has
reached the full limit of human en-
durance. Said he: Let the concern
trated capital of savings banks, trust
and investment companies make a rate
of interest slightly lower than that now
current and accept smaller payments in
their loans, and the cooperative saw
ings and loan associations would fall
before it," Three fundamental con-
ditions of building and loan ASSOCIATIONS
were given by the speaker as the CO..
lection of small capitals into a CON :
mon fund. the control Of the fund by
representatives, and the equitable dis
tribution of the gains. The delegates
enjoyed two hours of recreation in the
form OF a trolley ride around the city
