Sensational" Banking.

Ser satiOnalism in banking has attracted
the notice of financial newspapers and gem
orally calls forth their condemnation 1t
would seem that some banking houses of
cci siderable standing are resorting to
means of gathering in deposits that are
deemed reprehensible by the more sedate
banking interests. The Wall Street Journal
says:
Banks are sending out solicitors and is
suing thousands of circulars in order to get
business by offering inducements that are
apart from the huyirg and selling of credit
in its proper grading 1t is credit with the
chrome coupon attached To go into
thousand and one schemes of exploita ton,
to offer extraordinary inducements to at
tract deposits. to adopt the methods of a
fourth-class promoter. or of the circulation
manager of the yellow newspaper, is to
bring banking in disrepute.'
Over sensa tionalism in banking or baking,
o. brewing or any business is apt to bring
it's own punishment On the other hand,
man who is so conservative" that he
wants business to walk up to his office,
knock twice. send in its card take off its
hat, wait three days to be received and
then get handshake like frog on ice,
will probably have trouble with his land
lady at the end of the month. -'.-
Success lies somewhere between sensa-
tionalism and sloth. The golden mean is
what man should seek. Conservatism" Is
a good. big. mouth-fillng word, but it is
susceptible of many definitions. 1t may
mean one thing with one man and other
things to another man. 1t takes on differ
cnt meaning to the same man at different
times. Men who are unprogressiye ana
dry-rotted will defend themselves behind
the word conservatism" Caution may be
carried to such an extreme that it becomes
ccwardioe. But this is not to be construed
into a defense of rashness or heedlessness.
Bankers are advertising to increase their
business If they advertise judiciously and
run their business rightly the chances are
they will prosper. If they advertise In
way to offend the general sense of propriety
and conduct their business wrongly the
chances are they soon will not have a
business.

Death.

In what strange forms death sometimes
comes. The grim scythe bearer has no set
form of approach. Someti he comes
boldly in at the front door, sometimes
knocking and sometimes not. Sometimes
he comes stealthily in at the kitchen way.
and sometimes climbs the porch to steal
ones life after the fashion of a second
story worker. Now and then he heralds
his coming with trumpet and often he
does not even whisper a warning. He en-
ployes many tools and agents in his dark
trade. Sometimes he uses a little germ
wriggling in a glass of unboiied water.
Sometimes he uses a grade-crossing, and
often he rushes about in an automobile.
Accounts of strange deaths occur in every
issue of the newspapers. few days ago
a dispatch told of a young woman praying
by the grave of sister. when the tomb
stone fell and killed her.
+ A news item the other day told the pa
thetic story of a man who died In Park

the 'help-wanted'' advertisements. He was
looking for work. The news item concern
ing the mans death says: He was a mem

him. but 1t will arrange for his burial"
1t is nearly always the case that men
will give a man coffin to rest in, rather
than bed to sleep in. And yet a shroud
costs much as blanket. 1t has long
been a matter of remark how much more
literally will treat dead man than a
live man. We even have a rule to speak
| no evil of the dead. whereas we find it very
hard to say a good word for the living.

Two Royal Babies.

The world will share in the happiness of
the King of Italy as it recently did in that
of the Car of Russia. Each ruler desired
a son. and the wishes of both have been
gratified. The cars happiness would be
greater if affairs were not so unpromisins
for his country. but nothing exists to neu-
tralize that of King Victor Emmanuel. He
is showing himself to be a man of excel
lent capacity for affairs, conditions in his
country have greatly improved since he
assembled the throne, his domestic life is
described as ideal, and now with heir
to the crown nesting on the queens bosom
nothing seems wanting to insure either the
thrones stability or Italy's continued pros
perity. If there is peace congress called
to settle the difficulty in the far east this
young man should be elected honorary
member. with leave to bring his rattle
along.

SIGNS of Militarism.

Why do not the anti-imperialists suppress
the soldier songs? Some of them really
ought to be suppressed. Mllitarism
seems to have made captive many must
clans, though this fact seems to have been
overlooked by the political campaign liter
att.
First there came reams of so-called
coon songs, treating of chicken water
melons and 'possum. There was the
Georgia Camp Meeting "Whistling Ru-
fus" and a whole catalogue of the like.
Then the Indian had an inning, and "Hia-
watha" and all his tribe came in. Now it is
the soldier. OF course, he was always pop
ular in degree as a song subject. for there
was the Sword of Bunker HILL" the
'Bowld Soger Boy and their kin of the
long ago. and Dolly Gray" "Only a Vol
unteer," and Man Behind the Cum of
the not so long ago.
But now the music windows are martial
with songs that have not. but might have,
for their titles, always Shoot to Kill
"See the White of Their Eyes III Be
Buried In an Unknown Grave" Darling
Don't Kiss Another While I'm Gone
Bullets Are My Food" advancing From
the Foe" and the Waves OF the Flag Are
Rolling"
Another sign of the spread of hated mill
tarism is that the ladies wear military
heels on their Cinderella shoes, carry gum
metal watches. stick pom-poms in their
hats. wear belts, sashes, buttons and buc-
kles. use little swords for hat pins. and get
into an engagement wherever possible. This
is all in honor of the army. Showing the
ravaging growth of our desire for sea
power there are sailor blouses, REFER suits
and navy blue.
