This homely admonition represents
accurately President Roosevelt's view
OF the situation at Portsmouth. Peace
is In sight, but yet is not an accom-
plished fact. Profoundly as he is
gratified at. the results already
achieved by the plenipotentiaries, the
president realizes fully that the most
important work remains yet to be
done. Until that is accomplished, it is
scarcely the part of wisdom, he thinks,
to do more than whistle SOFTLY"

THE NEW RAILWAY MOTOR

Within the next two months according to promise
an entirely factor will be introduced in the rail-
way service of this neghborhood Southern Pacific
management reports that gasoline motor cars will be
placed its line between Los Angeles cities east

The Herald has noted at various times reports of
experiments made by the Union Pacific Railway com.
pany with motors constructed the shops in Omaha
The account of that character to the effect
that the Union Pacific was equppng of its spurs
with the motors, and that experiments would soon
be made on the Southern Pacific system in Southern
California Now have the above statement to the
effect that the motors will be installed for regular
service within few weeks
The gasoline motor is sort of between an
electric and big automobile. 1t looks very much
like the former, but is propelled as is the latter It
runs on ordinary railway tracks, requiring no such
appliances as poles wires trolley. In the matter
of propulsion it is simply an overgrown auto
1t is the purpose Of the Southern Pacific company
as reported to utilize the system for rapid and
frequent service through the line of cities and towns
stretching eastward seventy miles from Los Angeles If
all goes WELL is expected the motor service will dis.

VIOLATING THE BANKING Law

There is grave need Of either a change in or an
enforcement Of the national banking law. One Of its
clauses, II stands provides that one person,
firm corporation may borrow funds Of bank in ex
Of 10 per cent Of its capital This clause is vio-
lated continually and openly
Particular attention is called to this condition by
the recent failure of the First National bank OF
Topeka, Kas. which carried with Il two other banks
in Illinois. All three banks have principal debtor
G. j. Devlin, big coal operator. The capital of the
Topeka bank was sSO0O0O yet Devn and his companies
It $1,000 00O0--half the combined capital, surplus
and deposits whereas under the law the limit of the
Devn line of credit should have been only $4,000 OF
the two Illinois banks Devlin the principal stock
holder and by far the largest borrower.
There be no question that this condition Of facts
menaces the banking industry seriously True Devlin
controlled twenty or thirty companies most Of them
merely incorporated forms Of his personality and
it may chartably be supposed that the national bank
examiners misled by them in their certihcations
to the banks condition But the banks officers knew
the facts and they certainly at fault in permitting
borrower absorb half the banks assets and to run
many times beyond the borrowing limit the law has
fixed
But it is pleaded the 10 per cent limitation is i'm
practicable. The comptroller cannot enforce It. Big,
safe customers must be more literally treated So?
Then repeal that clause; modify it. II It is too small
limit fix that Is more reasonable. For the United
States say that it enforce law such as this
is puerile. The United States may revoke any banks
charter when it will.
Under the present system it as If the comp
roler deliberately ignored this clause and tolerated
violations and evasions of it. Certainly the situation in
Topeka would indicate. The law permits him no
such discretion it fixes 10 per cent limit and he
has but to obey the statutes till they repealed
amended. Any evasion or violation is criminal.
There is something peculiar about this Topeka fail
ure and especially this phase of It, Seemingly
is "up to- the comptroller and his examining force to
explain bit.

RICH YOUNG DRONES

Nothing is more common in the daily news now than
story of crime scandal involving the of rich
parents. life of indoent luxury to
abnormal development of base qualities
1t demonstrates the old saying about Satan finding
mischief for idle hands," The vigor of youth must
find outlet in direction, and there only
two general avenues for it's escape-one in useful
ployment and the other in the pathway that leads to
ruin.
The chief aspiration of the average father is to give
his better footing in life than the parent himself
enjoyed That aspiration is commendable far as it
relates to education acquaintance with the world and
better conception of the and abuse of the means
of enjoyment great mistake is made however, in the
assumption that life of and luxury is desira-
BILE legacy for any young
Striking examples Of the mistakes thus made by
fathers appearing almost daily in the newspapers
Z Los Angeles being exception locality producing
them. This city is relatively new and family fortunes
running through generations almost unknown here
AS consequence the rich young men of Los Angeles
usually sons of who began the bottom of the
ladder of fortune and labored hard and long in the
ascent.
An apt illustration in point is in the case of
citizen who reached the millionaire round in fortunes
ladder after struggle that ruined his health. He died
in middle age, but with the satisfaction of knowing
that his family were favorites of fortune. son,
reared Gin the lap of luxury, entered upon pace of
disrepute that led to criminal court.
The most pernicious legacy that father can leave
to his is large wealth unaccompanied by training
in the line of usefulness 1t is grand has been said
have the strength of giant but cowardy to use it
giant So it is grand to be the possessor of large
wealth. but ignoble to it in a life of idleness and
dissipation.
The average rich young man of the present day is
the most dangerous spoke in the social wheel. With
useful occupation to exercise his mind, the base
side of life lures him from the path of rectude By
regular stages passes from the level of drone and
profigae to that of dissolute and perverted crea-
ture, discredit to his family ncumbrance in the
busy world and ultimately nuisance to himself
