Tales Worth Narrating

Senator Clark of Montana was taking
a flyer in oraSory Wednesday, in the
Senate debate on the Statehood bill,
when he came to a sudden stop.
Many Senators were. paying careful
attention TO his words and approaching
the appropriateness of his gestures.
Other Senators, although occupied with
letter-writing or conversation, were
quite aware of their Montana col
leagues able effort. All were startled
by the Sudden interruption
Turning their eyes toward Mr. CIark's
desk, they found him bending low over
it and running his eyes to and fro over
the mass of papers there. His hands
would pass over this page and under
the other one, yet no end seemed in
sight to his search.
His sudden stop and his evident anx-
iety soon aroused the kindly interest of

What Will He Do With It?

The son Of rich man having
reached the age of twenty-one, has
been presented by his father with
check for 100000 What will he do
with it?
The answer depends. wholly on the
character OF the young man If he is
OF reckless disposition, the sum
might easily prove his ruin. Il
natural financier, with instructive
shrewdness. it might serve as the
foundation OF an immense accretion.
Ii lazy and of moderate tastes. it
would be sufficient, IL certain com

all his days without impairment CT

There are false notions CT riches
because of the exploitation of the
extremely wealthy, especially those OF
New York. In that city millionaire
is considered to be in modest circum-
stances. and is cut of from. the in
dulgences deemed to be d part of the
regular program OF magnates. But

the interior cities aad in villas es

s2ent may have far less even than
800, 900 and still be reckoned rich.
BY the available standard of measure
nlent he is rich.
Many young men have far more
than the income to be derived from a
check OF this magnitude and think
themselves poor. Others have yearly
incomes equal TO the sum of the
check, and yet cannot keep the pace
set for them by their comrades.

New Educational Problems.

From several leading institutions OF
learning comes the intination that
the cost of tuition is to be Increased:
The proposed difference might easily
represent the barrier between ambI-
tious students and the possibility OF
taking a course. Therefore, the neces-
sity is regretted by nobody more than
by the faculty and trustees, for among
these gentlemen there is a feeling that
the graduates most likely in after
years to be OF credit to their alma
mater are those to whom the course
represents struggle and a constant
regard for the costs
The case of Harvard may be cited
as typical. President Eliot announces
that 81, 500 900 is needed, all of it to
be used as an endowment fund. The
salaries that are now available do not
tempt the highest class of talent or
do not constitute an adequate recon-
pense. Reaching a professorship at
mature age and after long experience
IN the capacity OF assistant, or even
more humble station, the educator
finds that he can command $4,000 a
year, perhaps. Considering the chang
ed conditions which have made living
more expensive, and which, have vast
ly enhanced the rewards in other pro-
LESSONS, this is not enough.
Harvard does not desire to advance
tuition from $3.50 to 5000, but in the
failure of the desired fund to mater
ialize will be forced to do SO. 1t is
strange that some of the millionaires
looking about for objects upon which
to lavish their philanthropy do not
espy the necessity and hasten to the
rescue However, if the graduates of
Harvard were to take the matter up
and contribute to the average amount
of few dollars each, the problem
would be solved
At worst, there is comfort in the
thought that the masses do not
depend upon the great universities,
Every boy and girl in the land is in
reach Of some school OF sufficient
dignity and standing to- meet the
usual requirements. Some of the
States maintain universities in
which all the expenses are mod
crate, although standards are high.
There is a sprinkling of small col
Ieges, not in any respect the equals
OF Harvard or Yale, but far superior
to the high school And the average
boy and girl stop before the point
of graduation from a high school. So
education in certain quarters may be
high and getting higher, but the cause
Of education will not languish, for all
that.

Fighting Nj. Williams.

That a leader of minority in Con-
gress has q hard row to hoe will be
admitted. John Sharp Williams is
the present leader. He has the adyan-
tage of knowing that on all ordinary
occasions his people will follow him.
When once in awhile they fail to re-
gard his beck, and side-step little.
there are reasons which can have
nothing to do with the fitness of the
leader
Leadership Of the minority is not
any affair of The Times, nor, except
as it is interesting in a spectacular
way, of anyone outside the minority.
However, just at present there is a
tendency to attack Mr.. Williams. and
it comes from within his own party.
The public has curiosity as to the
reason. Is there a man ambitious to
become successor? If SO. why does
he not speak out in meeting? People
are told that Mr.. Williams is not the
proper material for the place. No
evidence is cited to support the con-
tention, and no better material is
named. They are left to presume that
jealousy is at the root of the matter,
and they hest tate TO ascribe to any
member of the minority so unworthy
an emotion.

OPPOSITION DEVELOPS
TO CROSSTOWN PLAN
East Washington Citizens Advocate Building of Proposed
Line by Capital Traction Company Not Great Falls

a strong sentiment in favor of the
plan of the Capital Traction Company
for a crosstown street railway de-
veioped at the February meeting OF the
East washington Citizens Association,
held last night at 314 Pennsylvania ave
nue. southeast.
The principal reason for favoring the
Capital Traction Company as against
the Great Falls and Old Dominion Rail-
road Company, also an applicant for d
cross,town charter, appeared to be that
the former company is owned and con-
troIed by local interests. whereas the
latter is not.

vented from attending the meeting by

port Of the committee was adopted. This

Storage Yard Project.
The proposition to establish a railroaa
storage yard on part of reservation
and Canal street was strongly objected
TO by the members of the association
who spoke on the subject. The estab-.
lfshment of this yard, they said. would
not only increase the danger to the
lives OF persons living in that section Of
the city.
Instead of carrying out the pc Iicy of
aboIisiling grade crossings, this plan
would mean the esta blishment III such
crossings, on Second, Third, Fourth,
Fifth. L, and III streets The sense of
the meeting was that the association
should go on record as opposed to ths
proposed storage yard.
The association indorSed heartily the
proposed juvenile court and the bill for
SO. $50, now before Congress, for the i'm
proyement Of Pennsylvania avenue east.

A Hole in the Law.

Washington is peculiarly fortunate
IL the character Of the men who
operate its savings banks. Other
wise the working people OF the Capt.
tai must have been robbed dozens OF
times. For there is not now and has
not been for many, many years
single legal provision against the
misn1anag cement of savings banks III
the District or single security for
their depositors.
National banks and trust companies
are here, as everywhere else in the
United States, subject to examina-
ton by the Comptroller of the Treas
ury and directly under his control.
All national banks are organized un-
der a general banking law; all trust
companies are chartered by special act
OF Congress; and both institutions
are SO controlled that their depositors
are effectively secured. The stock
holders may lose through misman-
agement or dishonesty. The deposit
tors cannot
But if half a dozen men. Of any
reputation Oh. none, choose to found
savings banks on every corner in
Washington there is no law to guard
the unsuspecting citizens who might
deposit their savings in that keeping.
Ii those banks had, each one, a CAPT
tai stock aggregating $50, GOO, they
might, each one, receive deposits ag-
gregatiag 100000; and not one of
them need have paid in more than
enough money to buy the banks fur
niture and get credit from the sta
toner.
Recognizing the need of a public
showing to correspond with the state
ments made by the national banks
of the District, some of the local
savings banks publish their condi-
ton in the newspapers whenever the
Comptroller makes a call upon the
national banks and trust companies.
These statements have never been
questioned. Yet, they depend for
their public acceptance entirely on
the good faith Of the officers of the
savings bank-not on the report of.
governmental examiner-and they
need not be made at all.
Congress can avert this danger
simply by placing the savings banks
OF the District under the supervision
of the Comptroller OF the Treasury.
II it were to follow the lead of the
States it might craate for the District
the office OF superintendent of banks.
The objection TO this latter course
would be the creation Of a new
salaried Office, very little matter
compared with the security OF several
thousand depositors in banks at the
National Capital. But not even that
objection could be urged against an
act providing that the Comptroller
shall inspect these institutions exactly
as he inspects the national banks and
the trust companies.
If there is any virtue in the pro-
lection extended to depositors in the
national banks and the trust COM
panies, that protection should be ex-
tended to include the depositors in
the savings banks also And if Con-
gress means to lock the stable door
1t should do SO while all the horses
are known to be in their stalls.
