TO CALL DIRECTORS IN
PUBLIC EXAMINER ANNOUNCES
NEW RULE FOR STATE BANK
EXAMINATIONS. t

/. At least one director in every state
bank will be asked to attend hereafter
when the bank is examined by the state
banking department. This course is
announced by Public Examiner Kerst
in a circular issued today. It is CON
sidered desirable to have the benefit
Of this. additional evidence as to the
value Of mortgages and other loans. It
is also thought a good idea to have the
directors brought in for personal in
spection of the records. The circular
sent by Mr.. Kerst reads:
To the Directors: In order to accom-.
plish the best results from our official ex-
aminations of state banks our examin-
ers have been requested to solicit the
presence and cooperation of at least one
Of the banks directors during the exam
nation. .s. -
The active cooperation Of local mem
bers of the board will greatly enhance
the value Of our examinations, and it is
hoped that whenever the examiner makes
his appearance in your bank, you will
find it convenient, when so requested,
| to leave your other business long enough
to devote to the bank with which you are
connected as director, the time required
| to give the examiner information he may
desire and which you may have to dis
close.

The Man with a Political Future

PRESIDENT NOrthrop made a very sug-
gestive statement when in concluding
contribution to the Congregationalist
on the struggle for civic good in Min,
neapolis he said, tToday the man who
does his duty in public office is the
man who has political future ~.
DR.. Northrop had been reviewing the
recent primary campaign and setting
forth the issues involved, together with
some interesting and encouraging COM
ment on the elevation of the moral tone
and sentiment Of this community as
part Of the general uplift thruout the
country. He expressed satisfaction in
the belief that while principles are still
essential in great national contests
mere party allegiance no longer controls
in municipal contests as it once did,
and a. candidate FOR office cannot be
sure of full party support simply be-
cause he bears a party label. Courage,
fidelity, honesty and morality are ap-
preciated and called for more than ever
before. And then he concluded with the
sentence already quoted. -.
The fortunate fact is that DIR. North
rop is entirely right. It is true that
the virtues Of courage, fidelity, honesty
and morality are called for in public
servants as never before, and that with
out them there is no political future for
any man: There may be temporary sue
cess, but no political future. And this
IS is one Of the most hopeful signs of the
tlmes-that the people themselves with
whom, after all, is all power and all
chance Of preferment, have raised the
standard of their requirements in pub
lie men of every rank and are insisting
upon their fulflment.

GRAND JURY AFTER
THE PROPERTY OWNERS

Grand jury investigation has been
turned in direction that may result
In sensational developments and may
embarrass several most prominent citi-
zens and property owners. The renting
Of property to persons conducting i'm
moral and Illegal resorts was taken up
by the inquisitors yesterday, and, de-
spite the objections of some members
and of officials, even if 10 indictments
are returned, there seems likely to be
some plain expression of opinion on the
subject in the jury's final report to the
court.
Renting property for illegal uses is
an ofense against the law. In the
new, code it is classified as 'gross
mlsdemeanor' and is punishable by a
severe penalty. This fact was made
known to some Of the members of the
present grand jury some time ago, and
certain facts tending to prove open
and fragrant violations Of this statute
were brought to their notice. These
were yesterday laid before the grond
jury and several witnesses were called.

Cuba's Problem.

1.-THE correspondence between Presi-
dent Palma, Consul General Steinhart
and Mr.. Bacon, assistant secretary of
state, shows very clearly that this coun-
trry did not take the initiative in inter-
Eention. So far from having done so
the president was very reluctant to
send any soldiers to Cuba, and kept urg-
ing the Cuban government to bestir it.
self and put down the rebellion. The
letter written by the president to Min
lister Quesada was intended as appears
on it's face as warning to Cubans that
the way to prevent intervention was to
get together. It is evident that Palma
wanted such q message, for it's moral eff
feet upon the Cubans. That the letter
failed of it's object was natural, since
The rebels interpreted it as a sign Of
weakness on the part of the govern
nent. They of course knew that if the
government was able to put them
down it would do so without asking for
moral scare from the United States.
I'm fact, they seem to have accurately
taken the measure not only Of Palma s
material, but of his international re-
sources. They knew that Intervention
would result only in the United States
becoming responsible for the govern
ment, and of Palma's being ousted,
and they were quite as ready to treat
] Mith the United States as with Palma.
The publication Of the correspond
ence is valuable at this time as showing
from the start the consistent inten-
lion of the president to do nothing in
Cuba which could be construed as an
ATTACK upon her sovereignty and to
keep the: United States in position to
withdraw with credit whenever peace
should be- restored, should Intervention
. Become necessary.
The situation today:,is, in the hands
Of the Cubans themselves. They can
restore order, peace and government
and have republic if they will it.

Home Rule Charter Making.

The Journal has heretofore al.
luded to the difficulties Of framing a
city charter which would please every
body. This is said to be impossible.
For practical purposes it must be ad-
mitted. The charter which has been
submitted by the present charter COM
mission is good, clean and business
like Encouragement Of the present char
ter The commission admits that this
is its essential character. The COM
mission by no means admits that this
was all it was capable of. 1t could
have made a drastic charter. It would
not have been necessary to 60 far to
get material. There are two drafts
in existence of federal charters which
have been rejected by the people.
Either one could have been taken and
modified or the commission might have
made up charter from its own head.
It elected to do neither Of these
things, but to submit the present char
ter in home rule form and leave the
task of perfecting it to the people of
the city. In so doing the commits
sion recognized in full the home rule
principle. -, ~~,2~,a..
The Tribune, discussing the matter of
the charter is, as usual, rather unfair
to the commission. The commission
does not say that the people do not
want a new charter, but that they have
shown already by their votes that they
do not want complete new charter
thrust upon them. They want to con-
slider the matter themselves. Under
these circumstances the best thing to
do is to give them the framework in
charter with which they are familiar
already and leave to them the job of
working it up to any degree Of perfec-
ton they may desire.
The enabling act under which char
ters must be framed gives plenty of
leeway for cities to perfect their fun,
damental law according to their local
IDEAS. The principal restrictions are
that cities shall form a government
with mayor and a council Of one or
two houses and that it shall conform
to the constitution of the state Lin.
it's are also put on the issuance of
bonds, but they are only such limits
as the cities would have. to place
themselves under in order to keep their
credit good.
Any charter formed by the legisla
ture under a special act would; have tc
conform to the constitution and woulc
very likely be limited as to bond issues
by the same ideas which appealed tx
the makers Of the enabling act. Du
| luth has formed a charter under the

didates, two by the county candidates,
and three by the business interests, the
committee to work with the campaign
organization, taking part in meetings
and discussions but not voting. The
candidates, however, have been slow in
getting started and have not appointed
their representatives. The county can
didates meet Saturday afternoon in the
county commissioners room and will
probably select their two. -
A series of meetings in the country
towns and villages outside the city will
be held, beginning Oct. 10, and lasting
ten days. All candidates will take part
and every town will be visited Frank

MetropoIItan-"The Umpire"

1.-THE Umpire heralded as a Chicago
success Of major proportions, is distinct
disappointment, It is saved from sheer
banality by the versatility of Fred Mace
and his long-established ability to enter
tain, and the ingenious work and win
!someness of Guelma Baker. There is no
story. plot or progressive conference to
the production. The pony ballet cannot
dance in better than mediocre fashion,
and with one or two exceptions the sing
ing calls to mind the shop whistles salut-
ing the newborn year at 1901 on Jan. l..
In Fred Mace is a mine Of fun. He is
the whole show altho the playwright has
only utilized the fringe of an idea capable
Of vastly, greater development. The
antics Of this @clever comedian are con-
vulsingly funny thru a utilization of the
slang of the ballield applied to other af-
fairs and situations. Miss Baker has a
pleasing voice and manner. and working
with Mr.. Mace produces all Of the life
the touch and go-of the production.
The music, Of its kind, is good. The
"whistling" numbers, "You Look Good to
Father" 1.-THE Umpire Is a Most I'm
happy Man," II Want a Girl Like YOU
and "Cross Your Heart met with a
hearty appreciation. -
There is no dancing worthy Of mention,
ana the SHOW girls nardly reach the
promise Of the posters. The show fades
away into nothing when football, with
CHORUS ladies" as players is introduced
without explanation or apology. and a
strong effort made to reach Minnesota
pride thru the giving Of the gopher yells.
The. freshmen in the gallery appreciate
this nightly, but the enthusiasm hardly
spreads to the sophomores in the balcony
or the seniors and alumni down stairs
Aside from the figure Of the umpire in
the first act the production is made up Of
the stock improbabilities Of the comic
