DAWES WILL RETIRE
Comptroller of Currency to Be a
Candidate for Senator.
Wants to Succeed William f. Mason
IN the Upper HOuse-Gome of
the Reforms Carried Out
Under His Direction.

Charles G. Dawes. the controller of
the currency, has rendered his resig-
nation 10 the president, to take effect
october 1 next In answer to an in
qulry, IN explanation, Mr.. Dawes said:
/ have resigned because of my inten-
ton to be candidate before the peo-
pie of Illinois for the United States
senate. 1t would not be possible for
me during the next year to make q
canvass for the senate and at the
same administer to my own satisfac-
tlon the important and responsible
Office l now hold. | am influenced
solely in this action by what seems
to me the plain proprieties of the
situation"
Mr.. Dawes term of office would not
have expired until January l, 1903.
Mr.. Dawes entered the office of con-
troller of the currency January /,
1898, succeeding James II. Eclzles, and
was Immediately confronted by the
situation in the Chestnut Street na-
tional bank of Philadelphia, which
was one of the most complicated ever
confronting a controller. He found
it necessary, in the interest of the
creditors of the bank, to oppose the
general plan of a reorganization COM
mittee formed of prominent citizens
of Philadelphia. and for a time he
was severely criticised therefor. His
plan was followed, however, and it is
now recognized as having saved to
the creditors of the bank lien upon
other property which was not con-
templated by the reorganization com
mittee, from which they probably will
realize over a million dollars.
The administration of the control
ler's office under Mr.. Dawes has been
cOnspicuOusly one of business, and
this has brought to him the unstint-
ed praise of banking and business in

terests throughout the United States
Mr.. Dawes has always been prompt
in the line of duty, as was evidenced
in the matter of the Seventh national
bank of New York a few days ago.
One of Mr.. Dawes first orders.
after entering office, stopped the
practice Of the employment of ma
tiOnal bank examiners for the private
examination of banks. Early in his
term he made a ruling leyying a sec
Ond assessment upon stockholders of
insolvent banks where the first as
seSSment had been less than the law
authorized, and he established the
practice of rebating to stockholders
such portions of the prior assessment
as was determined by further liqui-
datiOn to have been excessive under
the law. This ruling changed the
long established practice of the office
and was upheld by the courts, prac-
tically without exception. Controller
Dawes also organized a system of
consolidation of ins solvent banks in
the last stages of liquidation in the
interests of economy. SO that at the
present time 81 receiverships are be
ing administered by two receivers
with greatly reduced expenses. He
also has uniformly hastened.the liqui-
dation of insOlvent banks. Upon en-
tering office the fag ends largely OF
the national bank failures of the 1893
panic were still undisposed of. Dur
ing the last four years he has collect
ed SOS. .OOO.O 900 cash from these assets,
which covered every description of
property.
One of the most prominent features
of Controller Dawes administration
has been his annual reports to con-
gress. He came to office at a time
when the monetary system of the
country was a subject of general in
terest. and the arguments he adj
vanced in his reports became the sub
iect of widespread discussion by the
press and financial journals of the
United States and England. He argued
against bank asset currency under
our present national bank system,
and opposed, with vigOr, the idea of
q prior lien of the note holder over
the depositor upon assets of insolvent
banks. During his term he prepared
very complete statistics relating TO
banking in the United States. Owing
TO the passage of the law of March
4. 1900, the national banking system
of the country has greatly increased.
During his administration he has ere
ated 7S5 banks. The number of ma
tional banks now under his super
vision is 4,O64, having assets of S5,-
$50. .794,367.

not surprised when he took the stand
in his speech against the theme of
one of the best-known Sunday school
hymns. He declared that young per-
sons should be taught more practical
desires than to become angels" Such
expressions were silly, he said.
Col Parker was not the only noted
educator who expressed himself on the
question of Sunday-schOol hymns at
the convention. Prof. l.. H. Jones, Of
Cleveland, also expressed some orig
inal views. The idea of both speak
ers was that practical ingenuity should
be instilled into the minds Of chill
'dren. Merely to want to become
an angel without working for it was
too easy, the speakers thought.
These views are along the line of
Col. Parker's ideas on education,
which Chicago people have long been
familiar with. They were developed
by him while he was president of the
Cook county normal school 1t was

of education into practice without
