BANKS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Many Applications Held Up Untfl
Congress Takes Action.

Many applications for the establish
ment of national banks in the Philippine
Islands have been filed with the Comp
troller of the Currency, but the depart
ment is not empowered to act in the mat
ter until the enactment by Congress OF a
national banking law for the islands.
There are at present no national banks in
the Philippines. Practically the entire
business is done there by a private con-
Germ A wide. field is offered in the ISL
ands for the operation of national banks.
The national banking laws are now held
not to apply to the islands. Congress
will either enact special law for the
islands or decide that the United States
laws do apply. The situation now is re-
garded as an unsatisfactory one. 1t is
held in some quarters that it will be de
cided that the United States laws hold
In the Philippines, as in Porto Rico

DIR. oBER GIVES HIS VIEWS.
He Tells of the National Dental
Schools Status.

DR.. George C. Ober, professor of 'IiIatei
ria medica and therapeutics of the Ma
tional University of Washington. who at
tended the recent meeting of the National
Associa tion of Dental Faculties at Mil
waukee as delegate from this city, threw
some light last night on the subject of the
controversy between the dental school of
the National University and the general
association. According to him. the stand
ing of the National University Dental
School has not been affected by the. action
taken by the National Association.
DIR. Ober said to The Times reporter that
at the meeting at Milwaukee the dele
gates from this city plainly saw by the
attitude of the Executive Committee that
the intention of that body was to drop
from membership the lentai school of the
National University. In view of this fact,
the Washington delegates, who were DR..
Ober, DR.. II. II. Barker. and Henry E.
Davis of the law faculty, secured an in
junction preventing the National Asso-
citation from dropping the local dental
school from the list of membership. He
attributed the desire of the Executive
Committee to drop the Washington school
to SANDER against the dental school of
the National University by parties now
unknown. DR.. Ober traced the history of
the controversy from the beginning up to
the close of the recent meeting at Mil
waukee. t-
'Unfavorable comment on the National
University Dental School was made in
some quarter" said DIR. Ober. The Ma
tional Association communicated with US.
expressing a desire to make an investiga-
tion, and sent committee. From its gen.
eral conduct | am satisfied that its pur-
pose was to give apparent substantially
to the charges, with which We We're not
familiar. made by enemies whom we do
not as yet know. This investigation was
held last year, previous to the meeting of
the National Association of Dental Fac
ulties, held at Old Point Comfort. AT this
meeting the matter was referred TO a
committee of five, and the whole matter
was subsequently tabled
Within few months a second notice
was served that another investigation
would be held. The committee came here,
and its investigation was short. The COM
mittee made its report and copy was
sent to us. The tenor of the report was
unfavorable to our school. The EXecu-
tive Committee did not make any charges,
forming US instead that that the report
constituted the charges.
AT the last meeting at Milwaukee We
appeared before the Executive Commit
tee and were promisd that the concIu-
sion reached in our case would be given
us before being referred 10 the associa-
ton. Later we were told that we would
not be informed until the question came
up in open meeting. Being certain from
the general attitude Of the members of
the Executive Committee that the inten-
ton was to make a report advising that
our dental school be dropped. we secured
an Injunction. and the report of the Exc
cutive Committee WAS never made. No
body now knows the rature which this
report would have assumed. although we
believe, and acted in accordance With
that belief, that it was unfav0rabie TO
us

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

The Christmas spirit is about the
best thing there is in all the year.
What else is there that we do that is
so unselfish as this giving Of gifts to
celebrate the returning sun? We
don't want to receive presents; we
want to make them There is no
child SO small but expresses, involun-
tarily, along with his eager hopes for
what Santa Claus may bring him, an
interest in what his little brother or
sister, or the neighbors' children,
may also receive; and who so happy
as the child that can give another a
present? Giving of gifts has a peril.
ously fine edge sometimes do people
ever make presents from sense of
duty or to put themselves in the light
of a benefactor? Never at Christmas
time; we give then to bestow pleas
ure, not to be thanked; the greatest
happiness, we all feel, would be to
observe unseen the receipt of our
gifts and the joy it might call into
some friends or loved ones face.

one blessed ten -year-old, "the reason
I always cry Christmas morning it's
