TUESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER II, 1906.

financial institutions throughout the
country. That there are such is proven
by the thousands of them throughout
the land which have done business for
years and in which depositors' money
was far safer than it would have been
in their own keeping.
But when Incidents like those of the
Chicago bank and the Philadelphia
trust company. whose defaulting
cashier took his own life rather than
face the disgrace which awaited him.
are read by the public, with the stories
of the ruin brought to hundreds of
depositors. the confidence of the public
in the banking institutions in general
is seriously shaken.
And confidence is the mainstay OF
banking. The statement of many
banking institution will show that if
the confidence Of the public were with
drawn at any time it would go to
the wall. 1t is doubtful if there is ever
sufficient money in the vaults OF bank
to pay the depositors. There may be
sufficient assets in the form of col
lateral securities to do so, but they
could not be converted into money
within few hours and in that time
the depositors could ruin the bank.
Let the depositors lose confidence in
a bank and a run on the institution
would be the result. This would not
be true in the same sense of the gen.
eral loss of confidence of the public
in banks and banking institutions bu,
it results in many of the timid de-
positors Withdrawing their funds from
the banks and to that extent tightening
the money market, for the banks are
the principal means of keeping money
in circulation.
The bankers of the country who are
conducting their banks in legitimate
manner therefore welcome and seek
the most rigid laws possible for the
protection of depositors. They do
so for two reasons. One is that they
realize that every defalcation by a
man charged with the handling OF
funds of banking houses is a serious
blow to the entire business. They
therefore are interested in seeing
Stensland given the maximum penalty
Of the law that he may become an
example to deter others from at
tempting the same course.

KEEPING THE MONEY AT HOME.

The Evening Times believes in the
policy of keeping every dollar of
money at home when it can be done
to the advantage OF the people in gen
eral. Diyersification of our industries
has been the cry for years and it is
the real source of permanent wealth
in any community. North Dakota has
been largely an agricultural state and
by directing our attention to that one
subject we have developed rather one
sided prosperity.
Whens our crops do not fail there is
prosperity on every hand. When they
do fail there is serious Industrial
condition to confront. 1t has been
argued with propriety that We need a
class of consumers in the state to
create and maintain market for hun
dreds of our products which could be
added to the list of farm crops and
thereby give us greater financial re-
turns than are even received now. This
contention is correct.
We have gone begging for manufac-
turing industries which are important
and badly needed. But We have over
looked greatest industries which can be
converted into money without years
delay. The coal fields of North Da-
kota can not only give us diversified
industries but their development will
keep within the state an enormous
amount Of money which now goes to-
the railroads and eastern coal barons.
1t is fair to estimate the popula-
ton OF this state at this time at five
hundred thousand souls Each of these
will require in the course of a year at
least one ton of coal to keep them
warm. This fuel, procured from the
east. will cost the consumer not less
than seven dollars per ton, one dollar
VI WHICH Is lHe local dealers profit,
the balance of six dollars per ton 60
ing to the railroads for the long haul
across the continent and to the coal
operators of Pennsylvania and Indiana
and Illinois. II there are five hun
dred thousand tons of coal consumed
in the year it means that three million
dollars are annually sent out of the
state for fuel alone. This fuel could
be procured at home and the money
could be paid to North Dakota capital
lists who would be developing the state.
TO North Dakota miners who would
purchase their food and clothes of
North Dakota merchants. and the only
portion we need send out of the state
would be paid to the railroads for
the fuel from our mines to ]

Because They Told Us 50.

The foolish blunders that We make
Would seldom leave us long in woe
If other people didn't take
Such pains to say they told us so:
Ana yet; It's better far that they
Should tell us than to stand and blink
And. out of pity, fail to say
The things we always know they
think.
When Cousin John or Uncl. Joe
Says. after we have come to grief:
Well. now, you know, ] told yOn so"
on. what pleasure and relief
II Is to Gar"lcssly reply
Pretending we arc undismayed,
That brave men only dare to try.
While timid ones stand back afraid
We might sit weakly down and fret
Instead OF striving still to climb.
II people never came to let
Cs know they'd warned us in good
time.
We conquer often to confound
Those whose advice we held too low:
God bless the ones who come around
10 tell us that they told us so.

that city. The popularity of this play
has proved phenomenal. Checkers"

the management from the first per-

positively to send out a second COM

original cast SO far as possible. And
this has been done. The play is the

A Great Sleeper.

The tortoise is great sleeper. One
was domestic pet in an English
house, and when his time for hibernat-
ing came he selected corner of the
dim coal cellar for his winter quar-
tiers. a new cook was engaged soon
after who knew nothing of tortoises.
In few months the tortoise woke up
and sailed forth. Screams soon broke
the kitchens calm. On entering that
department, the lady OF the house
found the cook gazing it awestruck
wonder. and exclaimiMg as with un-
steady hand, she pointed to the tor
toise: My conscience! Look at the

FOR TEMPLE OF JUSTICE.
Plans BEING Prepared 10 Complete
GrOuD. ON CahitOl nm.

ftanS Belng Prepared TO Complete
Group. on Capitol hill.
Asa0eiated Press to The Evening Tinaes,
Washington, Sept. l1.-Plans are be-
ing drawn by Elliott Woods. superin-
tendent of the Capitol. for a magniti-
cent temple of justice. to be erected
on Capitol Hill in connection with the
project that has been before Congress
for years to build home for the SUI
preme court of the United States.
The chairman and leading members
of the senate and house appropria-
tons committees directed Mr.. Woods
to prepare the plans. and he will sub
NIT the drawings when congress con-
venes in December. Though 1t is not
considered likely that the building will
be authorized at the short session. in
view of the generous appropriations
for public buildings already made by
the 5Sth Congress. those interested in
the project hope to stimulate interest
by showing the plans to congressman
and acquainting them with the details
in definite form.
The building. in addition to housing
the Supreme Court, is planned as a
place for the holding Of international
courts Of arbitration. peace confer
ences and meetings of the representa-
tives of this and other governments.
such as the Pan-American conference.
a spacious hall will be provided for
this purpose.
The architectural design of the
structure Is intended to be similar to
that of the Parthenon of ancient Ath-
ems. with great columns extending
from the base to the roof in severely
classical style. Tall marble columns
around the inner walls will be the
feature of the interior, and the court
room for the highest tribunal in the
land will be of the most imposing style
of architecture.
The building. according to the plans,
will be of white granite. 1t will stand
between the Congressional Library
and the new senate Office building, and
occupy an entire square just across
the plaza from the Capitol.
The architectural scheme for the de-
velopment of the Capitol will be made
complete by this new building, which
will fill the last niche in circle of
massive structures around that in
which the national legislators meet.
When finished there will be an almost
solid wall OF marble and granite from
the House of Representatives wing of
the Capitol. including the House Office
building. Congressional Library, Tenn
pie of Justice, Senate Office building
and the senate wing. But short dis
lance away will loom up the white
new Union Station. 1t is Mr.. Woods
hope that the temple of justice will be
one of the most imposing architecture,
structures in the United States. The
estimated cost is $3.500,000. Among
the congressman especially interested
in the proposed new building is Sen
ator Allison. who, with the assistance
of other leading republicans, will make
special effort to have the appropria-
ton authorized.

If. as the Herald says. and with some
degree of truth, there is not room in
Grand Forks for three daily news

lieve the situation by withdrawing

years as successful handicap to the
growth and prosperity of Grand Forks.

which welcome the coming OF new
population and new capital could we'll

better policy, if We are to fulfill MIR.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

Grand Forks offers inducements to
the man of small means in the way of
investments in real estate which can
be found in no other city There are
hundreds of lots on the market now
which can be purchased with a small
cash payment and the balance in
monthly payments within the reach
of almost every man.
1t takes long time to pay for
property in this manner. it is true.
but the little which is put into the
property every month is Just so much
placed in the safest bank in the world.
There is no danger of real estate being
stolen by defaulting cashiers. 1t will
always be available as a visible asset.
The interest is the main thing to be
considered in making an investment.
and that is one of the greatest induce
ments for purchasing city real estate
Lots which are purchased now at the
prices asked by the leading real estate
dealers of the city will be worth twice
as much as the prices asked in couple
of years. and the chances are that they
will be worth more.
1t can thus be seen that the Interest,"
on the investment is considerably
more than fifty per cent. If the pur-
chase price We're paid at once and the
property advanced as indicated. that
would be the rate paid. But because
of the purchase under the installment
plan he only has few dollars of the
purchase money it is evident that he is
realizing an increase in valuation of
the entire price with only small por-
ton of that price invested.
Will real estate in the city advance
as indicated. and if SO what are the
reasons? are Questions which the aver
age man who has only a small amount
of money to invest will ask. The rea-
sons for the advancement will answer
the question of fact whether it will so
advance.
There is not desirable vacant
house to be found in the city today,
and dozens of families are living at
hotels and in rooms who would be only
too glad to have homes of their own
II they could be had. So long as there
is demand for houses there will be
money in building them
The great middle class. which large
ly make up the population of any city,
can not afford to buy real estate in the
business part of the city and erect on
1t the kind of residences which the
high price of the property would de-
mand. They will therefore seak the
outlying streets where the property
is cheaper and where the cost of the
buildings required would not be SO
much as in the older parts of the
city. For this reason the demand dur
ing the next few years will be for the
lots in these outlying portions where
the investments can be made which
can now be purchased at low prices,
and which, following the law of supply
and demand, will increase in value
as the demand increases.
