Schools. Fads and Superintendents

Taken on Faith,

Back of the latest Philadelphia bank fail
ure looms large the fatal fault of bad ex-
animation and direction. The institution,
headed by man of unblemished reputa-
ton and high standing in church circles,
was completely at his mercy, for his board
of directors was in no degree more than
body of dummies. endorsing whatever he
did and accepting his statements at their
full value. Between the president and the
directors stood the bank examiner, and 1t Is
upon him that the blame should primarily
fall. although his failure to do his duty
does not excuse the directors for their
amazing Indifference to details and their
absolute trust in the banks executive
Nipples method was simple. He loaned
money to the final amount of seven millions
to the promoters of enterprises which
were distinctly OF the wildcat variety.
Most Of these were projected by one man,
whose financial eccentricities, it seems
were fairly well known in the business
world. No directors of ordinary intelligence
would have approved such loans, and it
may be doubted II even the bank examiner
with his perfunctory scrutiny of the in
sttution's affairs, would have passed them
But Nipple. knowing the frailty of the real
securities he held for the loans prepared a
bogus list, containing gilt-edged names
This list, apparently. was all that the bank
examiner and the directors saw. 1t was re-
garded as satisfactory evidence that the
banks funds were being safely invested
Here is the fatal flaw in the management
The examiner and the directors should
have insisted upon seeing the securities
themselves, and not been contented with
a mere list. 1t is inconceivable that the &C.
tual securities would have been accepted as
sufficient collateral. 1t is hardly possible
at the same time. that the president of the
bank could have provided substitute Sc
curities to take the place of the real ones
The mere demand for the certificates of
stock and the bonds and the notes them
selves would probably have precipitated ex-
PLANTATION and exposure.
So the whole case reverts to the question
OF personal prestige. How many financial
institutions in this country are being run
upon the mere reputation of one man for
honesty and conservatism and good judg-
ment? How many banks are being directed
and examined on that principle? In how
many banks are transactions approved upon
the mere presentation of lists?

Bryan in Madison Square Garden.

VIII Mr. Bryan's Madison Square Gar
den speech be a keynote. or only a grace
full response to an enthusiastic welcome
Even as ready a man as the Orator Of
the Platte stands in need of the latest
information. He has kept In close touch
with home affairs while on his travels.
and especially since his arrival in London,
but everything has been moving so swiftly
here he may not have the situation as
clearly in mind asN is necessary to the
sounding of call to battle. AS short a
time as twenty-four hours spent in con-
versation with lieutenants and admirers
should profit him greatly.
We may believe. however. that those
with suggestions will put them cautiously
and automatically. They will approach
the throne with every show of profound
Difference. They know the sovereign.
They have seen him in power, and shorn
of power. They have felt the edge Of
his steel
If there is anybody in need of a warn
ing on the point let him be referred to the
experience of David B. Hill at Lincoln
In 1900, when the New York leader visited
Mr. Bryan on the eve of the democratic
national convention and requested modi-
f1cation of the latter's views on the sub
ject of silver. Mr.. Hill pointed out with
some frankness that another declaration
for free silver meant another defeat; that
the east would not accept free silver un-
der any circumstances. But Mr.. Bryan
was adamant. The east must take him.
or leave him, just as he was. The east
left him. as 1t had done in 1895.
AS Mr.. Bryan would not permit his plat
form censored. it is not likely that he will
permit his New York speech to be censored
He Is again cock of the walk. His party
must take him, or leave him. just as he is.
He is confident that it will take him. 1t
has. in fact, confessed bankruptcy without
him. Other refuge has 1t none. Its helpless
Soul hangs on him. Why, then. should he
hide his views, or deny them, at the in
stance of anybody?
This is not to say that Mr.. Bryan is
headstrong enough to speak out of time.
1t is highly important that before speaking
he understand the general situation thor
oughly But that he can be bullied or
wheedled into a shuttle. either on the sub
ject of free silver. or that of government
ownership of railroads. or on any subject
is not within reasonable expectation. His
courage is his greatest asset. If he were
otherwise as well equipped he would meas
ure up to some of the absurd appraisements
of his infatuated followers.
