SOulo UlUle 10 come.
Did you ever see q
PATHETIC AND curly headed little
LUDICROUS. tot, thoroughly ex-
hausted by the romp-
ing and shouting INDUCED in during the
evening play-hour, sink into serene re-
pose with dirty, ragged, manned, and
altogether unlovabls and unpresentable
doll-always the most disreputable of it's
store-clutched tightly in the little
chubby fist, the sweet baby face, SO con-
tented, seeming even in slumber to ex-
press pride in the proprietorship of that
pitifully mutilated toy, though the
faithful little guardians mind be wan
dering in the land Of Nod? The doll,
too, seems to realize and appreciate the
love lavished upon it, and to reciprocate
the affections of it's foster-parent. The
world may whirl on, great events affect
ing the lives of armies and the destinies
of nations may transpire, men may rise
and men may fall and countries expand
or lose their being, but babe and
doll still slumber on, unconscious of the
turmoil, strife, triumphs and failures
of the world without that nursery, con-
tent to rest in sweet communion one
with the other. This is all very pretty,
and no properly constructed man can
look upon it without experiencing a
tremble in the voice, and feeling lump
in the throat and suspicious moisture
in the eye.
But when that babe, grown to man
hood enters business life, plunges into
politics, adopts journalism still slumber-
ing with his broken doll, a discarded
theory, all idea with the arms and legs
broken off, an issue ground under the
heels of progressive and alert citizens, q
naked, ,unsightly lifeless treasure-when
a grown man slumbers sweetly with
such plaything as that clasped to his
bosom, while the world progresses, ma
tions rise and fall, varying circumstances
and changed conditions demand the best
efforts of the country's craftsmanship,
the sight is no longer pathetic; it is
ludicrous.
For babe to love the most battered
of it's toys is natural, no one knows why !;
for statesman to cling tenaciously to
the most discredited of his theories is
unnatural, everyone knows why. In q
common man such an act is common er.
ror; in an uncommonly common man,
it, of course, becomes Commoner.

AMERICAN BANKERS
MEET IN NEW ORLEANS
Comptroller Ridgely Deliv-
eTS an Address.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 11.-This is the
opening day OF the twenty-eighth an
nual convention OF the American Bank
ers' Association. and the financial cen
tiers OF the Crescent City are in holiday
attire in consequence.
Myron 7. Herrick. Of Cleveland. Ohio,
is presiding over the meeting. while a
by Acting Mayor Miehle. on behalf OF
the city, and one equally as happy by
Governor W. W. Heard. on behalf OF the
State.
The principal address OF the day WIS
made by the Hon. W. H. Ridgely. Comp
troller Of the Currency. whose theme
was Changes In Banking Conditions"
In part he said:
For several years there has been a
steady and enormous increase in the
volume OF all kinds OF business which
has necessarily produced a very large
expansion. The clearing house transac-
tions have increased from So. OO0. 0O9, 600
in 1897. to $l14, 900 900 900 in 1901. an in
crease Of $50, 900 .OO0, 600 That is, they
have more than doubled in amount.
by consolidating the reports made to
the Comptroller OF the Currency by all
the national banks. and all other banks
who make any reports. I get the follow
ing data regarding the changes IN con-
dition OF practically all the banks in the
United States.
From 1892 TO 1902, individual deposits
have increased from 81. Sos 900 600 to ;s.-
OS2, 900. 900. or have almost doubled in
amount.
The loans have increased from s., 1887, -
OoO. 900 to s7.l6s. 900 900. or more than e5
per cent
The item Of due from other banks in
creased from 6s4. 200 900 to 81. $50. OOO. 600.
a total Of 1855 .O0O. 900. or rs per cent.
From 1892 TO 1902. the cash on. hand
in all the banks has increased 1888. 0OO. -
COO. or 43 per cent
1T must be conceded that the improve
ment in business and general revival Of
prosperity has been based on the sound
est fundamental conditions. The agri-
cultural. industrial. and commercial con-
ditions have justified and produced 1t all.
In the last ten years the value OF
farm lands In the Ucited States has in
creased g. 395. 900 900; the implements
and machinery on the farms 1867 ,OOO.-
COO; the live stock s769 .O0O. 900: and the
value OF one years farm products has
increased s.. 27s 600. 900. The total value
Of the farm products for the year 1900
reached the enormous sum OF 81, 739, OOO. -
600. and for the year 1902 Il will consfd-
erably exceed this
From 1850 TO 1900 the number Of man
ufacturing establishments IN the United
States has increased by 157 .0CO: the num-
Der Of employees by 10. sec. 600. The total
wages paid in 1900 was s.. 800 600 900 and
the value Of the manufactured products
was over 813, 0OO. OO0 900"

were present The principal event Of
the meeting vas the annual report made
by Thomas W. Smith. president OF the

teresting document. President Smith
suggested that it would be a good thing
for the Board Of Trade to own its home
and In order TO do so a building fund

proved
Referring to bridges. NJ. Smith rec
ommeEded that the board urge on Con
gress the reconstruction Of the Auueduct
Bridge and the building OF a new high
way bridge on the site OF the old Navv
Yard structure He also called attep-
ton 10 the necessity for the erection of
Highway bridge across the Anaeostia
River near the foot OF South CapitoI
Street.
The plans Of the Park Commission for
the Improvement OF Washington are in
dorsed, and in this connection the re-
port feelingly refers TO the death OF Sen
Etor Mcmillan. at whose instance the
Park Commission was authorized.
Referring to public buildings, the re-
port directs attention to the "disrepu-
table condition Of the Police Court
building" and recommends that Con
gress be asked for an appropriation for
the purchase Of additional land on which
TO erect a suitable court building.
Mr.. Smith pays a deserved compliment
TO the efficiency OF the police force. and
takes occasion 10 recommend an in
crease in the salaries for the members
OF the force.
The report demands an Investigation
Of the high death rate and the enact
ment Of laws the enforcement OF which
will reduce the death rate among the
colOred people of the District.
The following board OF directors for
the ensuing year was elected without
opposition: John NJ Wilson, Frank

ALESANDRIA'S MAYOR
ISSUES ULTINATUN
Fight on With the Mount
Vernon Railway.
FORBIDDEN TO HAUL COAL
Company Says II Must Shut Down
Without Fuel, BIZ n. Simpson
Says He Doesn't Care.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. u.-There
is trouble between Alexandria's mayor,
George l. Simpson, and the Washington.
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric
Railway Company The mayor is de-
termined that the company shall not
haul coal in its cars through the streets
OF Alexandria. and has instructed the
police to intercept -. suspicious cars
that pass through the streets either
night or day.
Policeman Henderson yesterday
morning boarded a car at the intersec-
tion OF King and ROYAL Streets, and
upon ascertaining that it contained coal
refused TO allow 1t to proceed further
without permit from the mayor. Short
y afterward J. X. Swartz had an inter
view with the mayor upon the subject
and told him that il was absolutely
necessary TO have coal in order TO op-
crate the southern end OF the road. He
told him that unless the company got
coal the southern end OF the road would
be tied uD.
Mayor Simpson told Mr.. Swar,z that

determincd TO enforce his order and
that no soal could be carried through
the streets OF the city on motors or any
other class OF cars during the night or
day. Mr.. Swartz stated that the com
pany had no other way to get coal to
New Alexandria, where its powerhouse
is situated.
He was Informed by the mayor that
there were three routes by which 1t
could get coal TO New Automatically
connecting the electric railway track
with that Of the Southern Railway
Company at the intersection OF Royal
and South Streets, by constructing a
connecting track with the Southern
track at Royal and Wilkes Streets. OF
by barges up Hunting Greek to the New
Alexandria powerhouse.
Afterward the railway officials made
allow them TO haul coal through the
streets in their cars at night. and each
time he emphatically refused them The
last time they asked permission Mayor
Simpson took occasion to state that the
railway company is always willing to
ask favors but unwilling to grant any
faFors 20 the city. The mayor yesier-
day afternoon called attention TO the
fact that the railway authorities prom
lsed 10 repave King Street between st.
Asaph and Washington Streets with
copblestones until their diamond switch

so.
