Secretary Shaw on Banking.

DECEMBER 20 The Journal made editorial
~ comment on what purported to be an inter-
view with Secretary Shaw in Chicago, in which he
was represented to have expressed sympathy with
President Walsh of the Chicago National bank and
as disposed to shield him from prosecution Mr..
Shaw now says in letter to The Journal that
he repudiated practically all Of the interview, but
he admits that when asked whether Mr.; Walsh
would be prosecuted, he replied "For what?' and
that when informed "for loaning more than 10 per
cent of his capital to any one borrower he replied
that while this forbidden by the statute it was
not a criminal offense and that very many banks
were offenders in this regard.
The Journal in it's original comment was
careful to say elf he is quoted correctly, because
it did not seem likely that MIR. Shaw would take
the stand credited to him with reference to line
Of banking policy which had resulted in such serious
trouble to the Chicago bank In this letter from Mr..
Shaw however, we find this statement, ''I told him
(the reporter) that while this Qoaning more than
10 per cent of the banks capital to one borrower)
was forbidden by the statute 1t not criminal
ofense and that very many banks were offenders in
this regard, or words to that efect' The rest Of
the interview had reference to Mr.. Shaw s criticism
Of western bankers for withdrawing their money
from New York just at this critical time, and Mr.
Shaw reputation of that part is accepted
But conceding that Mr.. Shaw misrepresented
In this particular, his letter confirms the report
to his estimate Of Mr.. Walsh's action as banker
and we repeat it does not strike at all favorably
as standard to set up before the bankers of the
country statement concerning banking meth
DDS calculated to beget confidence in our banking in
situations. We inclined to believe that Mr..
Shaw in his readiness to excuse Mr. Walsh, has
accused bankers Of something that is not COM
mon as he would have us believe and If it is it is
hone the less vicious altho merely statutory and
hot criminal offense. It is an ofense which strikes
1t the root of honest banking and ought to find no
pologst in any degree in the office Of the secretary
pf the treasury of the United States
We venture to express the hope that the financial
world at large will not base its estimate Of the bank
mg methods of this country upon the clue afforded
Dy this statement of the secretary Of the treasury
1t certainly is not the sentiment Of business men
generally that bankers shall be excused for borrow
me the funds Of their banks either in large OF
ii small quantities and banking institution which
.ould satisfy the public that officer employee
ould borrow any Of its money would commend Itself
terry strongly to the approval and the support O
he public

Evidently the Standard Oil crowd is annoyed by
the persistence Of the Missouri attorney at
tempts to obtain information about the greatest
in the world. Being not only the greatest but the
most secret trust it naturally is indignant at this
brazen effort to violate its privacy. But Attorney
General Hadley is a brave man and he has brave
fighter behind him in Governor Joseph W. Folk. Be
tween them they may be able to bring the Standard
Oil gang time The entire people will cheer them
their way if they can do nothing else.

Philadelphia.

NEW YORK has discovered PHILADELPHIA For a
hundred years it has been the custom to hold
up Philadelphia as 'tslow,', but when at the last
election Philadelphia up and threw her bosses
in the Schuylkill river New York. for the first time,
discovered there was such community ana that
compared with New York it was far from slow. The
New York Investigations have unearthed these facts:
Slow Philadelphia is the kingpin in baseball foot
ball. rowing, fencing, cricket and boxing Philadel-
phia business men are smart steel traps, their
word is their bond and they keep their appoint
ments punctuay; Philadelphia is the greatest all
around manufacturing center in the world; Phlla-
delphia has the most exclusive society in the coun-
try, society to which dollars is no open sesame;
Philadelphia has the SWEETEST club in America and
it is not composed of millionalres but was named
after David Rittenhouse who famous astrono-
mer; and the first director of the United States
mint; Philadelphia has the greatest street in the
world, Broad street, 120 feet wide and twenty-one
miles long from its start in the suburbs to its finish
at the League island navy-yard
Philadelphia has a city hall which would take in
the New York city building as spare room; Phlla-
dephia has in Paramount park an area OF 5000 acres
which in natural beauty is unsurpassed In America.
These are not the only things Philadelphia has.
She has middle population housed much better
than is possible to house the salaried man in New
York Modern houses rent in Philadelphia for less
suit that the clerks and small business live in
the city, pax taxes in the city and take interest in
all the city's affairs This is an advantage which
shows in the rapidity with which the reform move
ment was organized in Philadelphia last fall. The
voters were there and it but necessary to show
them how to recover the control Of the government
when they got up and did it. 4 -
Another thing that Philadelphia has and OF
which she is not bit ashamed is Sunday free from
the sale Of liquor. While New York palters with
Raines hotels and puerie efforts to compromise the
whisky question, Philadelphia attacks the evil with
courage and success as Minneapolis is now doing
There is no crowd in Philadelphia which fears thu
city will be ruined by the loss Of liquor sales tn
Sabbath. Philadelphia has 100000 people, tn
greatest manufacturing population in America, tn
most reasonable rents, the best housed workingnen
the highest average wages, phenomenal saving
banks-and the dry Sunday. Is there any connec
ton between these facts, and if there is is slow oil
Philadelphia, which is proven not slow after all
right or wrong about them?

Pastor Wagner on America

NJ RS. CRAIGIE, in her lecture here, wittily
said that Tolstoy recommended not the
simple life-that is too expensive the simpfed
life. There is a difference between seeking the !
simple life outside your sphere of existence and
simplifying the life you are already leading. When
Horace Greeley raised turnips for five dollars
apiece and sold them for five dollars load he may
have been leading stThe Simple Life as some peo-
pie in America interpret it, but it could not be said
that he had simplifed the life of Horace Greeley,
editor. He had on the contrary immensely compli-
Gated it by adding ingredients which he did not I'M
derstand and which brought him pain as we'll
pleasure
Mr.. Charles Wagner, in recent article the
simple life in America, amplifes an idea quite sim
liar to this. He admits that he found here great
deal Of artificial life But these he believes were
but surface indications. The better America, he
declares is simplicity Gin what is the best Of her
America loves the life that is genuine and SUBJ
stantial, the life in-which the things most highly
valued are moral qualities, uprightness, energy and
kindness well those fundamental family senti-
ments which the cement Of society," tsThe best
Of America he found to be not scattered minority
lost in the midst Of decadent masses, but 1scount
less and compact phalanx Of upright men, In spite
of all appearances to the contrary he concludes
America loves simplicity.
The basis Of all simplicity Of life is the exorcism
OIL lmpOLeHI envy. IneTe are no 1mpaSSaDle gulIS
between classes in America and therefore no reason
why the poorest and humblest should eat his heart
out in envy of the more powerful. By effort he may
make their position his In this country people
constantly passing from class to another La
borers are becoming employers, workers are becom-
ing superintendent, pupils are becoming teachers,
servants becoming rulers Life is kaleidoscope.
There are fixed stars. While some who pass from
humber to more powerful sphere are giving
unfortunate evidences of their incapacity to with
stand good fortune it is just true that others
are giving daily evidence Of their love for the
essentials Of life to the exclusion of its frills
There are more people living below what is
apparently their station than there are living above
it. True there no, "stations'' in America but
there are modes Of living, and when nine out Of ten
who have achieved fortune choose simple
homelike existence in preference to one Of snowy
frivolity they justify Pastor Wagner in his judg-
ment that the best Of America loves simplicity.

The Irish Literary Revival.

# HE 5UNHAPPYS=po1itieal experiences Of, the
Irish people have occupied so much of her
attention in the past one hundred years that some
Of the greater things about ireland have been for
gotten. Her folk lore, which is particularly RICH
has been neglected, her music nearly forgotten and
her language had about Joined the Latin and the
Greek when frenzied and sympathetic movement
for it's recovery was begun. A Gaelic league has
been organized in Ireland and people are being in
duced to speak the ancient language even urged to-
patronize only those stores where the Gaelic is
spoken. ."s=.s. =&.' nil ....rsg~E z@
The language Of the ancient Celtic peoples was
represented by two groups the Gaelic spoken in Ire
land, Scotland and Man, and the Cymric in Wales.
The Welsh have retained to great extent in the
rural localities their pure Celtic speech, but it has
largely disappeared from Scotland and in scarcely
less degree from Ireland The Scotch do not appear
to care what becomes Of the ighland speech if the
highlander can get the 'baubees'' Of the tourist,
but the Irish are intensely in earnest in their de-
mand for revival Of the mother tongue at home.
There is now I'M Ireland a Gaelic league with
membership Of more than 5O000 the language is
taught in 1000 schools and nearly every newspaper
in Ireland takes fling at printing column in
Gaelic. The literary revival has been quite marked
DR.. Douglas Hyde, the president of the Gaelic
league, has made some excellent translations Of
:. Gaelic poetry, a number Of American platform
4
the rare old Irish stories President Roosevelt has
become interested in The movement and has made
translations Of Irish poems for private circulation
Whether the revival of Irish is a cause an
effect is hard to say, but there is certain nerde
pendence between the revival of Irish language and
Irish industries Wherever the literary revival has
been the most marked there has been a revival Of
national spirit and with that quickening Of ma
tional trade and manufactures :.. .-.'...
It is estimated that $50 100000 leave Ireland an
nually, much Of it for things which could well
be bought at home and that employment might be
given to 100000 heads Of families if the Irish people
would but support home industries instead of i'm
porting their Clothes their blankets their soap and
even the matches with which they light their pipes
These things are mentioned because they are all
made in Ireland and importation is not necessity
All that needed to make certain local industries
flourish is little national spirit and this the en-
thusiasc study Of the Irish language and literature
is rapidly supplying. The literary revival is seer
then to have practical side, but it is claimed tina
it has no political affiliations.

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL
The Cost Of Insurance.

THE legislative investigation Of the insurance
business naturally has reused people to ask
ssWhat do get out Of it9'' IL the investigation
Of abuses results in the abolition Of those practices
complained Of in what way do the people benefit
thereby aside from the moral satisfaction Of seeing
rogues punishedq The only way the people at large
could be permanently benefited would be in reduc
tion Of the cost Of insurance. If Insurance. has
been too high as result of extravaganza and COR
ruption, then a result to honest methods should
result in reduction Of the cost.
Is insurance too highq A recent discussion OF
the subject between Mr.. Miles M. Dawson and Rufus
w. Weeks, high officer Of the New York Life has
been held in the Independent Mr.. Weeks reached
the conclusion that while company expenses might
be diminished result Of recent exposures, an
anticipated decline in interest rates would fully
offset this saving and that premiums cannot be
reduced.
Mr.. Dawson, on the other hand, is of the opinion
that participating rates are too high If straight
or non-participating contracts represent, they
must the actual cost Of insurance then Of the
more fancy kinds of insurance are absurdly high. Il
The difference between them is supposed to come
back to the insured IN dividends, but in the three
New York companies it never did This was largely
because the trustees squandered the surplus in
inflated salaries and expense accounts, in feeding
campaign committees and in buying legislatures.
It must be understood that all the mysterious
payments thru Hamilton and others were defense
measures The officers Of companies knew they were
playing fast and loose with trust funds. They knew
that the Legislators knew it and they bought their
acquiescence in the game. 4
So the difference did not come back in dividends
nor in any other way, and the buyers Of fancy
insurance have the satisfaction Of knowing that
Mccall, MeCurdy and Hyde had good times with
their money
The problem of reduction Of rates is not one
that the state take hold Of, The companies
are private and the state cannot arbitrarily say
what shall be premium rate. The state can, how
ever, throw such safeguards about the investment
Of trust funds and make such examinations from
time to time will disclose what is the actual con-
dition OF each company. Competition between com.
panies will do the rest.
# rates are not reduced on paper they will be
reduced IN effect by the return Of much larger
4 annually in dividends This will be particularly
true if the tontine gamble is prohibited and the laws
!. against rebating are enforced. a>%v
