that, on the whole, the college gradu-

as we have. They are better than
the average, but these figures show
that they are gradually dying out.

Happy Dispatch. :

Richard Weightman, writing in the
Chicago Tribune, says that American Meth
DDS have failed in the Philippines because
we have tried to make Americans Of the
Filipinos. He declares that General Wood
is making distinct progress in his particu-
lar line of benevolent assimilation. He
inaugurated the work in Jolo, Mr.. Weight
man says, by killing several hundred of
them outright and only a few days ago he
administered the happy dispatch Of three
hundred more This tone Of leyity in
speaking Of human life is quite character
sistic Of imperialism, and the more people
talk Of the happy dispatch Of subjects
the cheaper will life become In the United
States. Our methods have failed in the
Philippines because we have ried to give
to the methods of monarch the sanction of
q republic People instinctively hate by
pocracy and the Filipinos will resent our
government even more than they would
the government of nation which openly
repudiates the doctrine of self-goyernment.

years rated among the most reliable

Tabor, a state bank examiner, was APP
pointed temporary receiver The COM
pany will liquidate, and J. Hampton
Moore, its president, will probably be
appointed permanent receiver 1t is the
belief of the board of directors, as well
as of Receiver Tabor that all deposit
tors will be paid in full
The failure Of the company was the
direct result Of the forgeries of the
late Benjamin h Gaskill. the banker,
who, it was learned month after his
death, had raised many certificates of
stock from one to 100 shares and bor-
rowed money on them
In this connection President Moore
said: Beginning in 1898, this COM
pany loaned B. H. Gaskill & Co., upon
most excellent securities, until the ag-
gregate of the loans reached $155, 900;
of this amount $4,000 was paid after
Mr.. Gaskill's death, and that left a
balance due the company of $4,000,
for which It was believed the collat
eral security amounted in value To-
s127,0o0 These securities, left with the
company several years ago, were found
upon examination to have been forged.
Their actual value was a little over
$4,000, making the loss to the company
nearly $4,000"
