CHICA0O BANKS DO NOT FEAR 4
PAHiC.

The Eagle IL glad to be in position
to say that Chicago bankers are In nc
fear Of a panic as result Of prevailing
conditions on Wall street Chicago IL
In the happy position of possessing al
heads Of its banking institutions the
ablest financiers in the country. II
takes pleasure In giving the views OF
some of these gentlemen In regard t.
the situation. Before this 10 done II
may be said In general way the
slump on the New York Stock Elk
change did cause considerable excite
ment on the local exchange, and the
stringency Of the New York money
market, as we'll as the break all along
the line of New York securities, was
for a couple of days the all absorbing
topic Of discussion among Chicago
brokers and financiers.
Officials of a number Of leading Chi
cago banks have, however, declared
that the present situation does not
foreshadow a general panic, and Its
effect will not be particularly notice
able outside Of the stock markets. The
fine condition of the commercial situa'
ton, they say, will prevent repeti'
ton Of the experiences OF 1929
Among those who expressed them
selves thus was Mr.. James ii. Eckels'
former Comptroller Of the Currency
and president OF the Commercial Ma
tlOnal Bank. "Such fiurries as have
been witnessed to-day do not touch
upon general commercial business"
said Mr. Eckels. From every point Of
view commercial business remains
where it has been-thoroughly sound
1t will continue to do so. There IL
money to be had everywhere, even In
New York. To-day will probably prove
the turning point, and ! think to-mor-
rows conditions before the close OF
business viii show an Improvement"
Edwin a. Potter, president Of the
American Trust and Savings Bank,
said: mo, / do not think we are near
ing a financial panic or crisis. OF
course, the present stringency Of the
money market may inconvenience leglr-
innate business interests by curtailing
available funds, but the spectators
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1902-10-04

will bear the brunt of the stringency.
The present business and commercial
conditions are excellent
Isaac n. Perry. president of the Ma.
'tional Bank of North America. said:
II can see no indications of hard times.
The large amount Of money tied up in
subtreasuries is in measure respon-
sible for the present stringency, but
the principal cause Is the increased de-
mand for money for the movement of
crops and large financial operations
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1902-10-04

Serious thought Is suggested by the
fact that suicide has been unusually
prevalent OF late. Each mornings
newspaper contains a list Of people
who have made away with themselves.
What can be the cause mt work? Some
OF the suicides, 1t Is true, kill them
selves because they can find no work
an anomalous situation In an era Of
prOsperity-but most Of them seem to
be actuated by feelings of anger or re.
sentiment or spite. Some of them kill
other people and then kill themselves.
There Is an implication In this sltua-
ton that the American people are de-
teriOrating In moral hber-that they
are becoming morbid and unstable Of
character. But, granting this, we are
still ut sea rs to the primary cause Of
the trouble. What IL making the
American people morbid and reckless.
~ impulsive? Are we coming to that
world-weary condition which once per-
vaded the society Of France when
whole dinner parties would rise from
the table to go and drown themselves
In company?

brains than street car horse, but 1t
takes time, sometimes years; some.
times all the years that are left. When
the foreman ended his vacation and
started for the shop he discovered that
his job had vanished. He also learned
that corporations IRE not sOulless, for
he was told TINT he had worked SO well
and faithfully, had done his full duty
so patiently, that the concern had re.
tired him on full pay for the rest Of
his life, be II year or forty years.
Not beggarly pension, mind you; not
pensioned poverty, which Is just as
hard for an old man to bear rs young
one, but full pay, and the firm wrote
to him: Go where you please, and II
you ever get stranded away from home,
just telegraph the company" 1t was Q
fine thing to do. 1t was n bit Of un.
asked appreciation that must have Its
effect on the other toilers In the con.

Of his home. he may be happy, but the
chances are that some day he Will be

Americans IRE built that way, and the
fact that ambition doesn't cease when
the limbs grow weary ana the thatch
gray, IN no manner lessons the kindly
tribute that the company paid to the
old foreman.
a census report shows t,at there IL
considerably less illiteracy among chill.
dren between 10 and II years OF age
! than there was ten years ago, and this
II rightfully interpreted as evidence Of
the increased efficiency Of the school
system. In many States the number
Of such children who cannot read and
write Is hardly apprecIable. Starting,
for example. with the Territory Of
Oklahoma, which has n percentage Of
1926 Of literates. the range upward Is
to M.6G In Nebraska, there being TWEEN.
