WASHINGTON, July 23.-Capt. J.
C. Sanford, of the engineer corps, has
submitted to the war department a re-
port on the Improvement of the Mis-
souri, river at and above Sioux CITY,
Ic, and of Yellowstone river, Montana
and North Dakota. A dyke was built.
says the report, from the upper end of
Wescott island and another 900 feet
above 1t. At Griffin, a dyke was also
constructed. Snags and other OBJ
structions were removed between Car
roll and Sioux City, and several works
Of construction carried on. At Bis
marck harbor seven dykes were re-
paired. A change in the channel at
Sioux City rendered it necessary to re-
wise the projects of Improvement

the mouth of the Floyd river, and for
repairing existing dykes on the
city front at points to be here

1t is instructive to notice how gen
orally Republicans are inclined to ac-
cept without further investigation the
suggestion of Mr.. Stickney that we
ought to have a great national bank.
1t is instructive because Of the unfail-
ing tendency which it discloses in the
Republican mind to approve anything
that even appears to luUk toward CEN
tralization. We must not be under
stood as inferring that this was Mr..
Stickney's idea. He, on the contrary.
was led to his conclusion by a study
Of history and finance in which, while
we cannot share his conclusions, we
recognize fully the ability of his in
quiry and the line of argument by
which he has convinced himself that q
national bank is necessary to a sue
cessful system Of national finance. The
average Republican seems to view the
proposition in exactly the same light
that calls for Mr.. Stickney's satirica1
criticism. He says that the chief ar
gument against a great national bank
ing institution is offered by men who
shout: Rah for Jackson" Because
Andrew Jackson fought and DESTROYED
the old bank, they are against it. Now.
it appears that there is a large class
Of people who, if the project should be
revived, would with equal celebrity come
to it's support, for no other reason than
because Jackson opposed it.
The Minneapolis Tribune says: eve
admit that there has been a popular
prejudice against a central national
bank since President Jackson won his
fight against the second bank of the
United States. But this prejudice has
had it's foundation in ignorance
or selfinterest." Has 1t though ?
1t is our opinion that no one
time or study the state papers accom-
panying the fight against the bank that
Jackson succeeded in destroying, with
out being convinced that there are at
least two sides to the. question Ac-
cording to Mr., Stickney's account, the
opposition to the bank and it's final
fall was due to nothing else than the
refusal to turn over a position in its
employ to spokesman. We have but
to turn our eyes to what is now going
on at Washington in the line of ap-
pointments to public place to under
stand the danger existing today from a
similar source. When other great es-

Tess that underline present admins
tratlon, the,nwhale tendency Is away

1t will alsb beO we'll to consider the
close connection 9hat exists between the
great national bank Institutions Of the
world and forms of government that
are essentially un-AmerIcan and mon
archical. While the friends of the con-
centrated SYSTEM point with much en-
phasis and satisfaction to the exist
ence of central Institutions closely con-
nations Of the world, they do not note
the circumstances of their origin.
All the banks cited, with the eXcep-
ton of the Bank of France, are really
portions Of a fabric of monarchical
rule. Sovereigns or finance ministers
VINO found themselves in difficulties dis
covered way out through national
banks that assumed debts or made
loans in exchange for the tremendous
~ valuable privilege of a monopoly Of
banking prestige; for that bank
which is understood to have the gov
eminent behind it has a vast financial
advantage over any other institution
goes without saying. AS to the Bank
OF France. the. exception is only appar-
en-. While the government of France
happens to be today republican in
form, the origin of the bank is tied up
as closely with autocracy as the rest
of them. 1t is a valid question and a
serious question whether such an insti-
tuition is consistent with the demo-
cratic idea. For our part, we are in
cllned to be very positive that it is not
safe to trust to bank established by
q SClfCIdl pOllllCal duCnOrlIy anu rest
ing upon political powers.
After the spectacle that this congress
has exhibited in; it's dealing with the
tariff, Of shameful rapacity and yield
ing to all the interests powerful enough
to control the great industries and alb
sorb their profits, we think it enough to
ask the question, what would be the re-
suit if a measure were brought forward
having in view the granting of valuable,
but unwiSe concessions to national
bank asking such favors, backed by a
possible contribution of a few million
dollars to political campaign fund?
Believing, as we, do, that, while bank
ing is conducted as it now is, the con-
solida ton Of banking interests is desir-
able, we are as firmly convinced that
this should be brought about by nat
ural evolution, through the work of the
banks themselves, and that great ma
tional bank established and supported
by the government would be far more
dangerous now than it was in jack
sons day.

THE FAIR ESTATE CONTEST.
Another Phase in the Litigation Des-
tined to Defeat the Cravens Claim.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12.-Still
another phase of the Fair litigation
now figures in the courts in the form
of complaint in intervention filed to-
day by Miss Virginia Fair, daughter
of the late millionaire in the already
pending suit instituted by the special
administrators against Mrs. Nettie Cra-
ven, designed to defeat the Craven
claim to valuable properties alleged to
have been conveyed by Fair to her in
the now famous pencil deeds"
Miss Fair charges that the deeds are
forgeries and the result of a conspir-
acy. She asks that as the claims of
Mrs. Craven tend to cloud the property
CT which she is the owner of an I'M
divided of one-third interest, Mrs.
Craven be compelled to deliver up for
cancellation the penciled deeds and that
they be cancelled under the direction of
the court.
Further action regarding the admin
istrators' suits to quiet title to the
same lots was fOreshadowed to-day by
Superior Judge Slack, who directed No
tary Public Eugene Levy to take Mrs.
CraVen'S deposition regarding her
claim. No time was set for the taking
of the deposition, but it will probably
be done within the next few days, be-
cause the trial is to be begun next
week. Several attempts have been
made to secure Mrs. Craven's deposit
ton, and although she has been exam
ined under oath in regard to the deeds,
she has not yet signed a deposition. 1t
is said that if she swears that the ac-
lyr1n t1-la n ont, 70 hn dc n r
tached to the documents when they
were presented to her by Senator Fair
she will be liable to a criminal prose-
cution, and will have to stand a SIM

K. II WADE DEAD.

Los ANGELES, March Tx. H.
Wade, General Manager of the South
ern California Railroad Company, was
found dead in a bath tub in a bath
room adjoining his apartments at the
Hollenbeck Hotel this morning. He
had died some time last night, but his
body was not found until this morn
ing. 1t is supposed to have been a case
of apopleXy. His wife, at San Diego,
has been notified.
1t was the habit of Mr.. Wade to take
a bath night and morning, and he
went into the bath room last night, and
evidently was stricken soon after dis
rcbing, as the soap and towels had not
been moved. His absence from the
apartments was not noticed until he
failed to appear at breakfast, when a
search revealed the cause of his abb
sence.
The result of the Coroner's inquest
was death from apoplexy.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12.-Julian
Pinto, lawyer, is lying in the Receiv-

victim of a bullet wound inflicted by
his mother-in-law shortly after l
o'clock this afternoon
The shooting took place at 1923 Mar

as his living apartments, are located,
and was the result of a quarrel begun
early this morning and renewed this
afternoon.
Several days ago Mrs. Pinto, in an

Pinto and his mother-in-laW, it would
seem, have not been the best of friends,
and this morning they had an angry
dispute, which continued until Pinto

When he returned to his wife's room
shortly before l o'clock he again en-
countered Mrs. Latham and they pro-

Suddenly Mrs. Latham, it is claimed
drew pistol from her dress pocket,
and before her son-in-Iaw could turn
and seek a place of safety, she pulled
the trigger. The bullet struck Pinto in
the mouth, breaking several of his
teeth, carrying away a piece of his
tongue and severing several arteries
before lodging in the back of the neck.
