NEW-FASHIONED BANKING.

The refusal of the clearing house
association of Chicago to handle the
business of the newly organized day
and night bank of that city puts a
snag in the way of the progress of
the new idea in banking and may
check the present tendency to go in for
extremes. Every period of prosperity
brings its new ideas with reference to
finance, not only with regard to those
who would change systems and stand
ards, but in the field of practical fin
ance as well. The world grows and
makes its progress from the new idea !;
nevertheless the banking business is
as old as time-experience has been
piled up through the centuries Bank
ing practice may vary but funda-
mentals are largely the same the
world over. Something of conserva-
tism is essential in any bank, says the
Minneapolis Journal.
In New York the idea originated
that an all night bank would be profit
able. Wealthy men backed the enter
prise Apparently 1t has been a sue
| cess. There are some lines Of bust
| ness that find such an institution a
| convenience. 1t offers facilities to de-
posltors not afforded by other banks
which close in the early afternoon
A bank, however, makes its money In
some other way than in cashine
| checks for night-owls.
In Chicago the day and night bank
is a sort of adjunct to a real estate
business, which takes it even farthe,
] away from the old-fashioned idea.

Animals Tails.

Though most animals possess tail,
either in the full or the incipient stage
Of growth, few Of them use it to the
same extent as the kangaroo, the scor-
pion, the horse and the giraffe. What
was it's destined use? That it was not
destined for ornament is shown by the
fact that in certain vertebrate 1t is
proved to be an extension Of the verte-
bral column. A satisfactory solution
is to be found, think, in the hypOthe-
sis that the tail in animals is nothing
else than the taproot of vegetables,
which has become obsolete or useless
owing to the fact that the living being
has long since adopted another method
Of struggling for existence.-Brooklyn

TOO MANY LAWS.

AT the meeting of the American Bar
association in ST. Paul today Judge
Alton b. Parker. former democratic
candidate for president spoke wisely
and well on the subject of new law
making by the various state legisla-
.tures. The increasing tendency of
Legislative bodies to enact new laws
has been the subject of much discus
sion.
Not only are there new laws for old
orenses, as Judge Parker says, but a
great majority of the new bills are in

Fourteen years ago a bottle manu-
facturer, Claude Boucher, in Cognac
France, was forced to close his fac
tory by the continuous strikes and eX'
actions of his employees. He then set
to work to invent a machine for the
manufacture of bottles. This machine
is now in use in various parts Of the
country. One-quarter Of million bot

single machine produces $4,000 bottles
in twenty-four hours. and any one can
learn to run it in a week. The bottles

the nature of hold-ups of one kind ana
another. Few new laws involve a new
nrinciple. or a fixed policy. The crea-
ton of new offices for politlcal pur-
poses always necessitates the creation
oof new laws to conduct them even
to the penal point.
In his speech in part, Judge Parker
says:
when we shall learn that legislative
bodies must be made up of mediocre
ties so long as quantity and not quail
ity of laws is regarded as the essen
tial requisite; when some of the temp
tation to legislate shall be removed by
less frequent meetings of such bodies;
when trained official craftsmen shall
be employed to give the necessary
laws legal and literary form; when
executives are forbidden, rather than
encouraged, by public sentiment to in
terfere with the orderly course OF
w-making-when these simple steps
are taken, it will be permissible to
look forward with hope to the times
when hysteria, blackmail, parusanshlp,
personal ambitions and selfish inter-
ests will not add ten new laws to
the statute books when only one IS
needed. At all times in history the
safeguards of the law have been
thrown around life and property. AS
the result of the laws, slowly built up
and carefully tested, men have been
able to progress, to command con-
stantly spreading freedom and to pro-
mote civilization. In the future, as
in the past, the law must recognize
what has been done; it must look for
ward continually to the protection of
men from violence and anarchy, and
their property from spoliation. This
can best be done by having few and
just laws, and by grounding them
upon principles and doctrines which
have commended themselves to man.
kind.
eff the ill-effects of idle and mis-
chievous over-legislation manifested
themselves only in the belittled char
acter of our law making bodies, the
result would still be deplorable. But
they are most apparent, in the attitude
of a people which starting at its own
shadows, comes to depend more and
more upon the so-called strong man;
in that dissatisfaction with courts be-
cause they find temporarily popular
legislation either unconstitutional or
unavoidable along the lines desired; in
the opportunities afforded to the shall
low agitatOr, the dangerous revOlu-
tionists or the opulent demagogue, and
in that inability to think sensibly and
to act with decision in matters of grave
Importance having to do with the
maintenance of our popular institu-
tons in their pristine purity. These
are the vital matters-those which
really count-in the making and the
maintenance of national character, in
the creation of that respect for law
which is always the sheet anchor of
a great people, and in conserving that
still more unusual quality of waiting
with patience for the slow and sure
victory which comes with devotion to
fixed principles and policies.
with more than twenty-five thou
sand pages of new laws added to the
statute books each year, it is appar-
