Why is a state bank examiner?

Why Is a state bank examiner?
The question comes naturally to the
mind of inquring persons who are
able to take calm and disinterested
view of the cataclysm that has just
shaken financial centres of Philadel-
phia, in the apparent insolvency of
the Real Estate Trust company.
Seven million dollars or more rip
ped out of what was commonly un-
derstood to be one of the rock-ribbed
institutions of so conservative COM
munity as the sleepy city on the Della
wares banks, vanished in the gilded
dreams of one of the alleged "solid
citizens" a pillar of the church, the
trusted guide, counsellor and friend
of unsophisticated clergymen, deacons,
Sunday school superintendents and
others of the guild labeled truly good.
who are "stuck" for a considerable
part of the huge sum indicated, gives
pertinency to the query propounded.
What are the uses of the state
banking commissioner and the dozen
or so of examiners" who are paid
good salaries to prevent, or, at least,
guard against just such smashes in
fiduciary institutions as have thrown
staid old Philadelphia into commo-
ton not poralleled since the Keystone
bank collapse of fifteen years ago,
followed, as it was, by series of
surprises" that eventually landed
an "honest" city treasurer in the
penitentiary, sent dashing financier
into exile and irretrievably ruined
other regulations?
What, we repeat, are these so-call-
ed "bank examiner" supposed to be
doing when such enormous losses can
be sustained by hapless citizens, who
place their trust in the assurance of
the state that their interests are being
safeguarded, and therefore are not
worried by the ''plungings," in re; |
estate or otherwise, than have become
a favorite diversion of eminent capi-
talists, church members and poll.
ticians?
1t is given out in recent dispatches
that Governor Pennypacker's state
banking commissioner, Mr.. Berkey,
was about to begin an examination of
the methods of the failed trust COM
pany. Two years have elapsed, it is
said, since such scrutiny was last
made. 1t may be doubted, perhaps,
if such an examination would have
ben especially useful or profitable,
for it is remembered that not long be-
fore the crash of the local trust COM
pany, less than two years ago, one of
Mr.. Berkey's subordinates inspected
its affairs and reported everything cor
rect. A few weeks prior to the col
lapse another inspection by the state
official revealed conditions that caused
him to notify the persons responsible
for the conduct of the bank that they
would have to repair certain specified
deficiencies or close their doors. The
warning was too late, and depositors
suffered.
That's the trouble. Our state
watchdogs sleep until the burglary is
effected; then they bark Justify, while
saddened victims mourn their losses.
But examiners who don't examine are
quite the thing in these days of Re-
publican control of the states sub
stantial interests; but the price paid
by this latest neglect of the work
they are employed and paid to per-
form seems big one.

THERE are stout people who
want to be thinner, and there are
many thin people who think they
would look and feel better if they
were fatter. The chemists tell us
that both these classes can have their
desires gratifed if they pay careful
attention to hygienic laws, which tell
them what foods to eat and what to
avoid. There are many fat-produc-
ing articles, some of which come upon
our tables every day. These are the
ones the stout people ought to shun
and that the thin ones ought to in
dulge in most frequently. Potatoes,
peas, baked beans and all sweets,
such as cake, pies and puddings, ale,
beer and wine all possess fattening
qualities and should be avoided by
stout people. On the other hand,
they are the foods and drinks the thin
people who desire to be better round
ed out should freely indulge in. But
as these articles are such as most per-
sons like, the question arises, what
shall they eat instead ? Lean meats,
fish, poultry and home raised fruit,
together with vegetables, like celery,
beets, string beans and egg plant, will
furnish any one with an ample var
iety to choose from. The fat people
should also refrain from drinking
large quantities of fluids at meal time,
such as chocolate, coffee and tea, but
to use water freely instead. But most
people are so addicted to some of the
foods we have mentioned that rather
than abstain from them they will bear
with their obesity.

EVERY reader can imagine the
exceeding regret and dissatisfaction of
President Roosevelt and the pack of
lesser spelling reformers that trots
at his heels that they cannot COM
mandeer the newspapers of the Eng
lish-speaking world of the 100000
600 English speaking people to do
their bidding. Poor Public Printer
Stillings must obey orders and print
the next long message in the language
of Artemus Ward and Petroleum V.
Nasby, but the rest of the world will
continue to use the language of Shak-
espeare and Milton all the same, and
our oldfashioned world will Jog
along, holding fast to that which is
good and rejecting the Roosevelt
Carnegie dictation just as they would
any other impertinence.

THE Reading railroad has be-
come alarmed at the high price it is
compelled to pay for railroad ties
seventy cents-and, like some other
Eastern roads, has been casting about
for a cheaper but equally acceptable
tie and has begun series of expert
ments to get over the difficulty. The
officials of the road say that so soon
as steel tie is devised that will meet
the requirements of the situation they
will adopt it and gradually equip the
main line and its branches with the
new device. 1t is feared steel tie
may make too rigid a road bed, and
also produce more noise, and also may
not be able to provide the allowances
of contraction and expansion required.
AT the same time, the saving, which
it is estimated will be thirty cents on
each tie, is believed to be so great an
inducement to inventors that event.
uallyly a satisfactory article will result
from their experiments.

OLD cisTERN
Discovered in Trulock Building, Built
 Thirty Years Ago.

 The cistern was built by R. $. Thompson some thirty years ago, when he had 8 hardware store i'll the building. It is remembered by some of the older citizens of Pine Bluff how MT. Thompson was wont to boast of the good water from this cistern In spite of this fact Mayor White and the other health ofhcefs have declared it unsanitary and it will be pumped dry tonight al 10 O. clock The cistern will then be filled with dirt, and the possibilities are that it will never be heard of again.
