PRACTICAL
LESSONS IN
BANKING
NO. 6.

1t may be that some
people do not run an ac-
count with a bank be-
cause they think their ac-
count would not interest
the bank. The reverse is
the case. There is no
bank which will not glad
ly receive a new account
and extend the new de-
positor every courtesy and
consideration, even if the
account is small.
They do this as a mat
ter Of policy if not as as a
matter of sentiment. 1t
is impossible to tell how
an account will turn out
or develop. The account
which starts modestly
may some day become
large, and it is that un-
certainty about the future
of an account that makes
it necessary for banks to
treat all people alike,
courteously a d con-
siderately.
The Savings Ba n k,
however, makes a spe-
cialty of handling small
accounts, paying a per
cent. compound interest
thereon. Here there is no
depositor who has a de-
post to make, so small
that it would not interest
us. One dollar will start
an account.

Home Rule Up Again.

The contemplated resignation OF the
Balfour ministry may bring the Irish
home rule question again to the front in
British politics. Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman the other night made a
speech which indicated that the liberal
party would stand for home rule. 1t
caused a great stir. Already Lord Rose
berry has denounced the idea of bring
ing forward home rule and has declared
he will not serve under such banner.
This has brought out a speech from Sir
Edward Dyer Gray, who,- with Mr.. As
quith and Mr.. Lloyd George represents
the young progressive liberals, who
were not up to their ears in the last
home rule battle. He says the liberal
leader has been misunderstood, that he
did not mean home rule on the lines of
Gladstone, but a large control Of Irish
local affairs on the. lines Of the Wynd-
ham; bill, and the Dublin proposals of
Sir Anthony McDonnell, theIrish under
secretary This is just what Balfour
and the unionists want-a split in the
liberal party on the home rule issue. It
is the only issue on which the unionist
party can unite tt is hopelessly split
on the fiscal question, but if it can force
home rule to the front it may be able
to pull victory out Of defeat. :
It is improbable, however, that the
liberals will permit the specter Of d
home rule plan, to which England would
never agree, to stand in the way of an
almost certain victory. The Irish party
may insist upon home rule as an ire
ducible minimum, but it cannot bind the
liberal party in advance. It may, how.
ever, If the issue becomes acute, find it.
