the City-or to the men who con.
troll them. It was not self preser-
walton nol Q wish to prevent q
panic that induced them to take
charge Of thv Walsh banks, and to
leave no doubt as to the ability Of
Chicago to cope with any financial
difficulty for it's own depositors
that might arise within it's bOf-

and patriotism. They were re.

Of the city, no matter what mon.

They want no assistance when
thereis trouble athome.

costly stewardship, the associated
banks have saved the depositors ia

The agitation or rather suggestion

The agitation or rather suggestion
that the South organize and conduct
lis own insurance companies, is not
only sensible idea but carries with it
apromise to place one Of the naturally
richest sections Of the nation on an in
dependent footing and enable its peo-
pie to cease paying tribute to another
exacting and interruptions section
which has been robbing them for many
years. In speaking of the plan Gov
ernor jerks, of Alabama, truthfully and
pointedly says: "When I was in tn
newspaper work some time ago made
. vigorous fight against all insurance
compenies. They cost the state more
than pestilence and peThaps as much
sas wars. The continual drain on the
stale's resources by FIRE and life insur-
ance companies, considering the email
returns which tho people get from the
payment of premiums, when COM
pounded against us for say thirty
years, will probably account for the
difference in the material wealth Of
such state as ours and the Eastern
states where this vast wealth is accum
ulated and in many cases improperly
dispensed" Nor IL the entire draft

Con6ned alone to the gigantic system
Of insurance robbery. There are 9TH
ers, and to get busy to reach them
would be worthy Of the capable people
who, II they but will, may become the
most defiant citizenship on the face or
the earth. Take for example the
banking system ruling with Gn iron
hand. Long before the insurance
trust assumed form the country was
educated to believe that Wall street
alone was capable to store and handle
