CRITICISM IS NOT ABUSE.

The Glidden Graphic recently said
Bishop Potter may have made q mis-
take. But he is at least entitled to
the credit of having made an effort and
in our humble judgment four-fifths OF
his critics misjudge him, and, worst Of
all. many of them have not enough
Christian charity to credit him with
honorable motives" To this the Bur-
lington Hawkeye takes exception thus:
"On the contrary. Bishop Potter's mo.
vites have not been impugned by any
newspaper that The Hawk Eye ha,
seen. Bishop Potter is an honest, ear
nest Christian gentleman. but he Is
credited generally with having made
very serious blunder in opening a
saloon with prayer and praise"
The Hawkeye. has the advantage of
history. Few newspaper commenta-
tors on the subway saloon charged
Bishop Potter with dishonorable mo-
tives. 1t was neither the bishop nor
the Improvement In saloon condillOnS
that shocked the country, but the asso>
citation Of the church with the liquor
traffic. There has been little question
Of his motives which are generally ac-
knowledged to be good. Criticism of
movement is not abuse of Its promo
tiers. The country will watch the Pot
ter experiment more closely for the
newspaper comment upon 1t pro and
con, and the newspaper which criticize
ed it will gladly record every measure

per cent Of these cases these failures
and losses to citizens and communities
might have been prevented, or reduced
to comparatively small loss II the
proper officials had performed their
whole duty in examining the real
assets and liabilities Of such banks.
One OF Jim Fisks favorite remarks
was, IF you want to keep a man hon-
est, watch him." Old Gorgon Graham
says the same thing in other language
in his letter to his son in the Chicago
stock yards. Some one introduced in
the last legislature bill to this effect:
That mt stated periods a certain num-
Der Of the directors of each state bank,
said directors not to be officials of said
bank, should examine and make to the
auditor Of state a sworn report OF all
assets and liabilities of the bank In
which they We're directors. and that
this report was not to be given to the
public. Evidently the nub of the bill
was to compel directors to look after
their own. and other stockholders and
depositors' interests. Such law
could properly be amended to include
all Insurance companies, mutual and
otherwise, operating under state char
ter, as well as all investment compan.
les, trust concerns and all other corr
porations that do business with and on
other peoples money.
Such a law is all the more necessary
at thu present time because the exam
nation was made not only by bank
directors. but of the county and state
officials books, as well as the numer-
Gus mutual benefit concerns in Iowa,
are the merest farces. To illustrate, a
certain secret society in Iowa found
when they made final real examina-
ton of the books of a suicided treas
urer, that he had individually paid in
teresE to the order on note that the
maker thereof had paid fourteen years
before, but which had never been can
cellei, the maker of the note holding
a receipt of the suicide. dated fourteen
years before, stating the note was mis-
laid, etc The suicide had kept the
money but as the interest was promp-
tly paid, twenty-six examining COM
mittees of the order had failed to de-
tect the fraud. One defaulting county
treasurer got away with $4,000 of the
county's money. his criminal practices
extending thru the term of six different
county supervisors.
1t has come to this that all officials
should expect examinations, as rigid
and careful as though they were dead
and final accounting to be made. 1t
has come to this that all such exam
iners should proceed at stated intervals
to examine any and all assets and IL
abilities of corporation as though all
of their officials were criminals and I'M
der arrest. These two statements are
thus made as strong as possible, to di-
rect public attention to the lax meth
DDS at present in vogue. No honest Of
fetal need fear such examination. No
committee doing such examining work
in this exacting manner need fear
running the reputation of an honest of
ficill. Friendship should end when
such examinations are begun, and be
renewed only when the records are
found right. There's even kindness in
F'isls's hardened saying: ITO keep a
man honest, watch him."

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW
The lesson OF Bank Declarations

Here in Iowa especially and the
country over generally during the past
two years, there has been an unusual
number of bank failures and defalca-
lions, with the usual suffering to con-
fiding stockholders and depositors.
These failures in only few instances
were brought about by poor business
methods or investments. but at least
ninety per cent of them by the dis
honesty of the cashier or other officials
of the bank; and also in at least ninety
