Speaking of the honesty of banks
and few of them cause loss through
deliberate dishonesty-George Kennan
in McClure's pertinently. but perhaps
a little unkindly, recalls the expert
ence of San Francisco bank showing
that depositors are not always to be
trusted. After the earthquake, ac-
cording to the story, the German Ma
tional bank. which had lost all its
books, asked its customers to state
the amounts they had on deposit. The
officers knew precisely the amount
they had lost in the aggregate. but did
not have a record Of the individual &C.
counts. The sums specified by the
depositors exceeded the known depos-
its Of the bank by more than SIS, 900.
This showed that customers were TAX.
ing advantage Of the situation, but
rather than question their honesty the
bank charged the amount to profit and
loss and paid all demands in full.
This true story should teach the aver
age man who rails against corpora
tions that perhaps he isn't to be trust
ed himself.

The Spread of Temperance.

To drinking, says Lecky, must be at
tributed most of the crime and an
immense proportion of the misery of
his nation; and what is true of Eng
land is true of the United States. AS
the beginning of most violent crime
on big scale in English history is
parallel with the spread of strong
drink. SO in our country crimes Of vio-
lence. crimes of debauchery, political
corruption, the waste of wages. the
ruin of families, all have their home
>nd origin in the saloon. Civilization
will not be success until the saloon
is but a memory Of what men once
endured. West and south in the Unit
ed States to-day the path to temper
ance is being followed with more de-
termination than ever in the history
OF our country. In more territory is
the saloon made illegal, and in a
greater part Of this territory is public
opinion sufficiently strong to make
prohibition a success. When it is a
success, life will be brighter for the
wives and children of hundreds of
thousands of fathers and husbands.
