BANK EXAMINATION A FAILURE.
Jefferson Bee.]
The Grinnell bank failure, and 9TH
ers of similar nature where the specu-
lations Of cashiers have run undiscov-
ed thru a great many years, lead to the
conclusion that the work OF the bank
examiners is next door to failure. 1t
seems to lack thoroughness. Where is
the instance where the bank examiners
have gone into bank which was APP
parencly sound, and put thir finger on a
leprous spot and closed its doors? OF
course. after rumor has bullentined an
institution, and scandal has put its
mark upon 1t. then it is easy enough
to discover the discrepancies. But 1t
occurs; to us that the proportion of in
stances where either state or federal
bank examiners have discovered on
their own initiative. and without out
side aid, the rottenness Of banks, Is
wofulIy small.
There is surely way to make bank
organizations more effective and pro-
tectiye. Most cashiers who decide to
steal, make use of dummy notes. OF
course examiners cannot be expected
to be familiar with local signatures,
and are readily deceived by this arti-
flee. But suppose the examiner should
come into bank and making use of a
simple form of notice. send word by
mail to every man whose note appears
in the bank in some such form as this
"Sir: A note signed by you for -
appes RS among the securities of the
bank. In case this Is correct, do
not make any reply. In case your OBJ
LEGATION to the bank is not as stated.
notify me by return mail" OF course
in sound banks the examiner would
not get any answers, but cashiers who
knew this course would be adopted
would be shut out absolutely from any
possibility of covering up theft by
dummy notes. such examination
would take time and cost money, but
IL would be genuine examination, and
would mean something when complet-
ed. And the people have right to
the best sort of protection that money
can blly

REsuRRecrlNe THE PAST.

The false issues raised in the stand
pat convention of Iowa republicans
were so dead and so deeply buried
after the national platform work at
Chicago that one who will resurreGt
even the memories OF the dead at this
robbing. but those Of us actuated by
the motives OF an historian feel that
we must refer to the past occasionally
as the present produces incidents for
comparison. 1t was only few months
ago that any reference to reciprocity
with Canada was enough to set hun
dreds Of Iowa republicans to waiting
and weeping for the poor American

mentioned some advantages to be
gained from a trade treaty with Cam

as free trade with Canada.
Now the republicans of Massachn-

Ing that 1.-The establishment of recipro-
cal trade relations with other countries
and especially with Canada and New

welfare of the United States, and es-

except the exaggerated adjective vital

made any opposition to 1t, and know
that in this am in entire accord with

The refusal of the national platform
makers to limit reciprocity to NON
competitive" products and the presi-
dents declaration that I'VE believe In
reciprocity with foreign nations on the
terms outlined in President Mckinley's
last speech" pounded upon the grave

BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.

Chicago--Weather conditions have
favored a steady volume of retail trade,
altho there are indications that the
purchasing power of the people has
been reduced. owing to the unusually
large number of workers on strike and
in involuntary idleness. Wholesale
dealings in staples reflect the growth
in the general demand, particularly FOR
are received for fall delivery. The
new business reported reached good
aggregate in dry goods and woolens
clothing and footwear. Sales have been
fairly large In mems furnishings, hats
and caps and in cloaks and suits. The
grocery trade makes satisfactory
comparison with year ago and ship
ments for the interior are gaining. Mer-
camille collections show we'll on country
bills, but there is some delay In the
city.
MinneapoIis-Un good weather
conditions, trade has been fairly active
and gives promise of becoming more so
as threshing time draws near. Prices
are holding; firm and collections are up
to the average. A good fall trade seems
assured is harvest results are up to
the presene indications. Lumber ship
rnents for the week were 100000 feet,
against s,60s,000 feet in 1908.
st. Paul--The weather and crop con-
ditions continue favorable, and while
the dispost ton to proceed cautiously
until the crop is assured, is still man
lifest, dealers show some inclination to
buy more freely. Groceries improve
steadily ard a satisfactory business is
reported il, hardware and the demand
for machinery increases.

A THIRD PARTY PROPAGANDIST
[Brooklyn Chronicle.]
On the way from Grinnell to Monte
yuma last Monday two men got on the
train at the junction. One of them
soon got up and wanted to know how
many In the car wished him to sing Il
temperance song. In answer to his re-
quest for show of hands one lady
voted for him to sing, whereupon he
sang q song which told Of drunken
man and wife who were scared by
yowling cat into reformation. The
singer proceeded to comment on his
song until the train had nearly reached
Montezuma speaking in a tone of voice
so loud that all We're compelled to lis
ten: and as the train was moving and
there was no other car into which to
escape he had good attention. He
was egotistical, making himself the
hero of all his stories, but his speech
was not otherwise a bad one. After the
speech he took up collection Tor the
Friends temperance work In the state,
of which he said he was the head, and
after the collection he announced that
his name was kellogg and that he was
the prohibition candidate for congress
In this district, against Major Lacey
and that there would be two mass
meetings that day at Montezuma at
which himself and companion would
speak. While there may be some dis
pute as to the propriety of addressing
and unwilling audience on train there
can be none as to the expediency to
taking up a collection before announc-
ing his political mission, and the I'M
conscious admission that he was run
ming against Lacey was sentiy
amusing.
