BANKS As ADVERTISERS.

The enterprise which the leading
banks of Pittsburg have shown during
late years in advertising the facilities
that they offer to customers has been
one of the striking features Of that
city's financial expansion. The char
acteristics Of it form the subject of an
article In Profitable Advertising This
includes a statement not only that
Pittsburg banks do more advertising
than the banks of any other city. but
an allegation by one authority that
they do more advertising than the
other banks of the country put to-
gether.
''That may be a difficult proposition
to prove says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
but what is beyond question is that
our most enterprising financial institu-
tions, while holding fast to their old
financial impregnability, have led the
country in using newspaper space to
tell the public what they have to offer.
While it might be supposed that every
one would know what inducements the
leading savings banks, trust companies
or national banks hold out to him, the
case has provided a notable test of the
effect Of advertising. A certain proper
ton Of the banks have stuck to the old
conservatism; but the advertising
banks have in each case led in the gain
in business and are now able to make
wonderful showings in the increase of
their deposits, surplus. profits and re-
sources.
1T is interesting and pleasant to call
attention to the fact that an important
lever in notable expansion Of our bank
ing interests has been the skillful use
OF the advertising columns in address
ing the public"

PEABODY TO PUBLIC.
Governor Issues Statement Announce
ing That He VIII Contest

Denver, Jan. 10.-In a statement to
the public Governor Peabody says:
ITO the People Of Colorado: For
two years as chief executive of the
state, have endeavored to enforce
the laws, maintaining good order, and
establishing prosperity, for Colorado.
Yet for some reason a bitter and I'M
fair political war has been Waged
against me. Investigation of the con-
duct of the recent election has con-
WINGED me that I have been fairly re-
elected governor of this state and i
am satisfied that the election returns
as first published are not truthful. 1t
is my purpose to at once fnaugurate a
contest so that all the facts about the
election may be presented FULLY ana
fairly to the legislature and to the
public.
''The frauds practiced against me
were so manifest that it was first pro-
posed to have them thoroughly inves-
tigated before the publishing or the
returns by the legislature and the
claim that this method of investiga-
ton, as originally contemplated by the
legislature is unconstitutional. IS not
well founded. Yet this claim became
so WIDESPREAD that this method was
abandoned so that even unjust critl-
cism could not be made against the
LOYALTY to the constitution and to the
best interests of the state OF those
whose desires are for the uplifting
and betterment of the commonwealth
I'VE have now adopted the very line
of action which those seeking to con-
ceaI the truth regarding the frauds
and outrages of the recent election
have emphatically declared to be con
stitutional. All I desire is the truth
and that the people shall know
THE only manner in which to reveal ls
is to continue u searching examination OF
all phases of the recent frauds and cleo
ton debauchery until the public ascertain
the contents of every ballot box and CIR
cumstances surrounding the accomplish
ment of the spurious results obtained I
appeal to the people Of Colorado to await
the result without prejudice and then TO
support with public opinion which ever
one of the gubernatorial candidates mas |
received the honest votes refuse 70
believe that the best interests Of Coiorado
can be subserved by quietly submitting 70
an alleged adverse majority which even
a partial investigation has already dis
closed is but a myth-a traveSty upon |
Republican form of government, an In |
suit to the intelligence of the public ana
a brazen, open and desperate attack on |
the perpetuity of our institutions and the !
purity OF our elective franchise For my /
self I desire no office tainted with fraud /
The anarchy of the ballot box suffer Is |
as far reaching as the anarchy Of the dy- /
namiter and shall continue my fight to /
eradicate both from the confines of Col |

The new year begins with a hopeful
financial outlook, says Henry Clews in
the Financial Review. Continuing he
says: las shown in detail in our
annual review both the agricultural
and industrial situations are exception
ally sound and promising. In both of
these great divisions of industry the
conditions which prevail are conducive
to continued prosperity, chiefly because
production has not yet overtaken con-
SUMPTION; the only exception of conse-
quence being the enormous crop of cot
ton resulting from last years excess
sively high prices. Our principal basis
of prosperity. however. is still in the
soil, and the whole country is now ex-
periencing the stimulus of a profitable
harvest. Trade, too. is exceptionally
sound. and merchants in nearly all
sections of the country are doing
large and satisfactory business; in fact
it is many months since the general
business situation was so healthy and
promising as at present"
