MERIT, NOT PULL.
Will Govern in Secretary Paul Morton's
Department, He Says.

Washington, Dec. INERT and not
political influence official prestige
should alone determine assignments
to duty in the navy, in the opinion of
Secretary Morton. and the secretary
has addressed a letter to the superin-
tendent. Mr.. Brownson, of the naval
academy expressing his emphatic dis
approval of the efforts to influence
the department in the assignment of
midshipmen from the class soon to be
graduated to certain ships. The let
ter reads:
"The department has been ap-.
preached in various ways, directly and
indirectly, by influence seeking to con-
troll the assignment of midshipmen,
singly or in groups, from the class
about to be graduated from the naval
academy, to certain ships which they
or their friends have been pleased to
specify. The department does not
hesitate to express it's disapprovaI of
the spirit thus evidenced before even
the beginning of an active career in
the service, which seeks to secure duty
in accordance with Individual pref
erences, rather than the good of the
service as interpreted by the depart
ments order.
''The department is of the opinion
that the young men referred to are not
fully aware of the gravity of the at
tack made by such requests on the
principle involved-that the indi-
yidual exists for the good of the serv-
ice, not the service for the individual
and they should be warned that the
department will regard with disfavor
the bringing of any influence, official,
political or social, seeking to control
or divert in their behalf its orders to
duty"
The secretary has repeatedly re-
fused to intervene in the regular as
signment of officers prepared by Rear
Admiral Converse, chief of the bureau
of navigation, and this. he declares.
will continue to be his policy. The de-
partment has the full support of the
president in its position.

Kansas does not seem to be quite
broke" yet. According to a bank
report given out by State Bank Com
missioner Albright today, there is a
little less than 10 millions of dollars
on deposit in the Kansas banks. This
is just a little less than there was in
September. In the meantime Kansas
has been paying off some of her OBJ
legations. The merchants have been
buying goods, and the farmers have
been drawing money out of the banks
and putting it into cattle and improve
ments on their farms.
The statement given out today is
the report of the condition of both
state and national banks at the close
of business on November 10. Con-
cerning the report Bank Commissioner
Albright says:
''In comparison with the previous
official call made September 6. 1904,
the number of banks has been in
creased by seven. There are in this
report $50 state banks, 23 private
banks and 163 national banks. Loans
