TAKE OWE THE LID.

It has now been nearly four months
since the First National bank of To-
peka collapsed. yet the depositors and
the public know nothing more as TO
the real causes of the disaster than
they did two days after the calamity
happened They know that one officer
of the bank borrowed S1,20000 of its
s.. 500 600 deposits and that is all.
Why isn't the lid taken off of this
business2 Why are not the depositors
allowed to find out through whose fault
they were defrauded? 1t is evident that
a colossal wrong was perpetrated in
loaning such a great sum to single
man. and it seems probable that there
has been criminal action somewhere;
yet nothing has been done towards fer
reting this matter out and exposing the
criminals Why?
The deDositors and the public gen
orally have right to know how this
thing was manipulated. and where the
money went If such a thing can be
done and the wrong-doers be not even
exposed, what confidence can the peo-
pie place in national banks?
Is some influence at work in the de-
partment at Washington to keep this
matter quiet? AS a rule when such a
colossal wrong is perpetruted some ar
rests follow alrost immediately. n
+ the receiver of the bank could not place
the blame. why did not the treasury de-
partment send on an expert accountant
from washington to locate it? The de-

PRACTICE AS WE'LL AS PFECFEFD,T.
About two weeks ago the State Jour
nal raised the question whether Alice
Roosevelt would have to pay duty on
the presents which Asiatic potentates
have been heaping upon her-to the
value of hundred thousand dollars or
SO. It is not at all unlikely that some
OF the presents are of such a nature
that Miss Roosevelt does not prize them
at all for their intrinsic value, but only
for the association connected with them
and it is rather difficult to pay duty
on sentiment.
The same question appears to have
presented Itself to the collector Of the
port at San Francisco. whose duty it
viii be to pass on the matter Of course
the presents were given to Miss Roose-
welt solely because she is the daughter
of the president of the United States
AS such it would seem unjust to com
pei her to pay the custom charges. At
the same time she is a private citizen
of the United States, and as such she
is not entitled to any special preference
IN the matter of importations. These
questions probably worried the collector
Of the San Francisco port, and so he
checked them up to Secretary Shaw at
Washington. Then Secretary Shaw did
the worrying.
Finally the secretary of the treasury
shifted his burden to President Roose-
welt himself and then it was speedily
settled. Charge the regular duty, of
course said the president in effect.
Therefore when Miss Roosevelt
reaches san Francisco with her trunk

the collector of the port to please pay
him something like sixty thousand dol
lars for the United States treasury be-
fore she takes her presents horne with
her. This win be more than the salary
Of the president OF the United States
for a whole year.
