A Champion Batter.

"Wlld Blll'' tells this story, and
thinks the fans ought to believe him !:
"Down in one of the bush leagues,
where l used to pitch before my
name had appeared in the papers
more than a half dozen times, a
big, broad-shouldered, a:heletic-
appearing fellow appeared one day
and asked to be allowed 10 play.
'He was so big and so powerful
We decided to give him a chance.
"When he came to bat the pitcher
shot the ball straight across.
. One str,ke!' yelled the umpire.
. why is it one striker asked
the man.
+" Because l said so. Look out!
There comes another
Two strikes!' the umpire
howled.
Here, explain this thing to
me-, the fellow said. "Nhy do you
say two strikes when l haven't
struck at the ball at all ?''
Before the umpire could reply,

Don't you see the ball has gone

but I've got the money to pay for it.

Banks and The State

At the Bankers Convention last
week, Lieut.. Gov. Sanders address
ed the convention on the Banks and
their relation to the State:
"As far as l am aware" said
Mr.. Sanders, "the relation is very
cordial. The State does not bother
the banks and the banks do not
bother the State. 1t is mutually
recognized that there may be, and
possibly is, good in each. The
banks are perfectly willing to lei
the State run things as long as they
own them, and the State is willing
to let the banks own things because
at last both State and bank ale run
ard owned, at least in Louisiana,
bv one and the same source OF
power. The people. Tn. people OF
Louisiana are the State, and the
people Of Louisiana own the Banks,
and therefore the State owns you.
This may be u novel way OF looking
at it, and yet l assure you that it is,
in my opinion, the correct way.
The banks do not. and cannot have
any existence separate from the
exigence of the State and the PEG
pie. They reflect the general pros
perity or bespeak the general de-
preston. It has sometimes come
to me that perchance none OF us
give enough thought to our relation
to the State.
To the "Banker's Association of
Louisiana can only say, ever keep
before you the high standing Of the
banks OF old. Keep green in your
minds and memories the glory OF
the banks of ills State of ours,
make up your minds that you will
do as we'll in the present day as
that which ihas been done before
"Never forget that the relation
OF the banks to the State is the same,
no more or no less than any other
business, any other trade, any
other profession or any other call
ing; that We must all flourish or
fade alike; tina. what is good for one
is good for all, and That you cannot
prosper unless the entire State is
prosperous, and that the State de-
sires to see you expand and grow
and thrive as she does all OF her in
situations, all of her children. /"
