MOUNTAIN RANCHES.

In the mountains of this part of the
world, are to be found some as beautiful
mountain ranches as there are anywhere.
While there are no mansions adjoining
these mountain homes, yet that does not
detract from their beauty during the sum
mer months, nor does it lessen their com
handing position as to the range for
stock grazing purposes Most of these
ranches have been taken up within the
last year or two and there are many more
desirable ones still untouched.

extensive stock ranging, these now al

BANK DEFALCATIONS.

BANK DEFALCATIONs.
Defalcations of bank officers and
clerks are not so uncommon as to excite
great surprise, but when they rise to the
magnitude of 800, 900, they rather take
away ones breath. Yet it is perhaps
easier to mystify the accounts and make
away with that sum in a bank which
constantly handles fifty million dollars
than $40, 900 in one which has only five
millions to look after. Still more diff
cult would it be to spirit away $1,000
from small bank in small town
where the eyes Of the superior officers
can see everything that goes on, and
where even the neighbors can discern
any signs betokening that bank clerk
is living beyond his salary. Every bank
defalcation, large or small, ought to
teach lesson, ought to make the next
one more difficult of accomplishment,
ought to contribute something to
the protection of the banking
business and of society. The
American Bankers Association has
for years maintained bureau for the
detection and prevention of forgery and
sneak thieving. By careful study of the
methods, mental processes, and haunts
of the rascals that "work" the banks
from the outside, the bureau has largely
reduced the amount Of successful frauds
and has landed in the penitentiary most
of the fraternity who perpetrate them.
The Alvord case and the Schneider case
show that there is work for a bureau
which shall apply itself to frauds Matched
say that this is duty which each bank
must perform for itself. But suppose it
is not done. Is it not cheaper to have
the necessary work done, or at least
mapped out, Systematically by the as
ISOLATION, than not done at all?
Government Examiners.
Some people think that this is the duty
of the National Bank examiners. Ac-
cordingly, whenever defalcation oc.
ours, especially if it has been Of long
continuance, there is a general disposi-
ton to censure the examiners and to put
blame on them for not detecting the
shortage at it's beginning. But the truth
is, that system Of public examinations
was never intended to deal with frauds
concealed by false bookkeeping. To go
beyond the bookkeeping requires per-
sonal inspection of all the assets, and
not only that, but investigation of the
solvency of the banks debtors. A
few years ago bank failure occurred at
Albany, where the books showed the
proper surplus, and where the bills re-
ceivable corroborated the books {; but the
bills were themselves fictitious. The
} makers of them were men of straw
The Conservative, 1900-11-01


lead him to especial investigation which
may have important consequences, but
as rule he has to assume that the books
are correctly kept, and that the assets
are what the books show them to be.
Such an assumption may be erroneous,
but generally it is the condition upon
which alone he can get through his work
at all.
The public have not yet learned in
what manner Mr., Alvord accomplished
his gigantic frand. Ordinarily the note
teller's desk would be the last place
where such fraud would be looked for.
It would be idle to speculate on the de-
tails before they are actually disclosed.
The only thing that can be said at pres.
ent is that Alvord had been in the banks
employ so long that he was implicitly
trusted. Nobody suspected him. It is
often said by high bank officials, "You
must trust somebody; if you lose oc-
casionally, it is one of the necessary
evils of the business This excuse
will not pass muster in a case where
$500, 900 goes wrong. The Alvord case
proves that nobody should be implicitly
trusted in the sense that his accounts
should not be subjected to occasional
scrutiny with the object of finding out
whether they are right.
Checks Necessary.
No bank officer or clerk, however
high, has any occasion to feel mortified
if his department is made the subject of
special investigation at unexpected
times, any more than the bank itself
has for feeling hurt by the government
examinations. The feeling of implicit
confidence in old and tried officials may
be credit to human nature, but it is
not the kind of credit that will make
good deficiency of $700,00O. Probably
the Alvord case will lead to minute
examination Of all the note tellers' &C.
counts in all the banks, but that is not
sufficient The Alvord case will in time
be forgotten, and the business will fall
back into the old routine, with general
confidence in command of the situation,
unless some system of checks is devised
which shall be self-perpetuating. It is
the proper function of the clearing
house association to devise such system
and to see to it's enforcement. There
are some outside pointers that might be
helpful. Usually the defaulting bank
official betrays by his style of living the
fact that he spends more money than
his salary can account for. 1t is said
that Alvord kept horses and carriages
and naphtha launch, and was living
at the rate of $4,000 year, his salary
being $S, 500. If this be fact, it ought
to have been known to the higher bank
officers and to have put them on inquiry.
We can all be wise after the event.
Anybody can lock the door after the
horse is stolen. What is needed is

ton will be the capital and center of all
negotiations. With Mr.. Bryan's scheme,
there will be capital at Manila as
well as at Washington, president in
the Philippines as we'll as in the United
States, one set of ministers there as we'll
as here. AS result all foreign nations
will be face to face with an unparalleled
situation which will be fraught with
greater danger to the United States
than the establishment Of permanent
sovereignty in the islands. If Mr..
Bryan would exercise the same kind Of
protectorate that Great Britain, Ger
many and France do over some of their
dependencies, there might be no dan
ger-but in each of these countries
there is no such thing as real indepen-
dence. A resident minister of the pro-
tecting government practically controls
the affairs and policies of the protected
country.
Filipinos Need Supervision.
Another serious problem will confront
the successful consummation of Mr.
Bryan's plans. He will have been COM
PEELED to meet the condemnation of the
moral sentiment of the country for al
lowing those men again to come into
power in the Philippine Islands who
have encouraged the Filipinos in that
class of warfare which is distinctly bru-
tai and has cost the lives of so many
American soldiers. He will be obliged
to recognize those unscrupulous Filipino
leaders who sent lying circulars all over
the islands appealing to the masses of
the people to rally to the standard of
Aguinaldo and to drive the Americans
out of the country, declaring that
we were infinitely worse in character
and nature than their former rulers, the
Spaniards, and who systematically en-.
deavored to poison the minds of the
ignorant natives in their opinions of
American men and women and the
American government.
I am one of the many who have a
very high idea of the Filipinos' capabil-
tiles when we'll guided, and who frank
ly give them credit for all that they did
in time of peace before they lost their
heads and in fanatical and extreme
jingo spirit determined to fight the
Americans, listening to no reasonable
plans for settlement of the difficulties
and consequent establishment of as
large degree of autonomy as possible
under American sovereignty. It is not
possible, however, to close our eyes to
the tremendous problems and complica-
tions which will face Mr.. Bryan if he
is elected, and which will bring about
even greater chaos than there has been
at any time in the past.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using any thing else for indi-
gestion or biliousness. Doctors
we're scarce and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermenta-
ton of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they
took when feeling bad and dull
with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses of
Green's August Flower, in liq-
uid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. For sale by W. j. Dan

Enjoy a Banquet.

The Log Cabin degree of the
local Knights of Pythias feasted
last evening at a social function
that lacked none of the essentials
of successful entertainment.
Work in the degree was conferred
upon a class of eight candidates.
When the goat was completely fa-
tigued the knights adjourned to a
banquet table, and, under the guild
ance of Toastmaster Il. A. Ramsay,
clever speeches alternated with ci-
gars and other accomplishments.

IT WAS with a great deal of sat
isfaction that the people of Flor
ence received the announcement
few weeks ago, that a dancing
club of the highest order was to be
esta blished and maintained here by
no less competent an instructor
than Prof Reese, of Canon City.
Prof Reese's well known success
in his line was considered a guar
tee that the dances would merit
classification with the leading So
cial functions of Florence. In the
face of this, some of the incidents
that were witnessed on the streets
last evening Immediately after the
dance are regrettable, at least, and
it is to be hoped that Prof. Reese
will take steps to avert their future
recurrence, even at the sacrifice of
a portion of his class mem bership
