CHICAGO Nov. 1.-Two word pic

Twenty-three bankers are to be called

defense that his acts were justified BY
custom. Walsh's attorney In his open

banding act IS 50 out of date that every
bank in the country must violate its
provisions in order TO make money.

Progress Of Dentistry

Dentistry, or anything concerned
with the extraction Of the human
tooth, has always been regarded as
theme for grim or farcical humor. Not
so many years ago dentists the world
over were a class "subdued to that they
worked in" Their business was de-
struction and extraction, and the benef-
icent science Of construction and pre-
servative dentistry was left In the
hands of few pioneers. To the vast
relief of humanity at large, the den
tist and his profession have now been
raised to the level of Asculapius and
his art, a consummation celebrated on
Saturday by a jubilee dinner or the
Chronological society. The society has
been asked to become an integral part
of the academy of Medicine, and the
offer was taken by the president, Mr..
Lloyd Williams, as a high honor. II
was a very proper suggestion, but Is
in no sense an act Of condescension.
Dentistry, indeed, has advanced pro-
portionately more rapidly than medi-
cine, and even perhaps more than sur
gerry: and doctors are only just be-
ginning to understand how large a
part teeth play in the general health
of the community. The Japanese have
attributed a large share in their Won
derful bill of health during the war TO
the insistence on the care Of the teeth.
On the other hand, lamentably large
proportion of recruits in England have
to be rejected on the score Of bad
teeth; and our new medical inspectors
have recently given some wholly re-
markable evidence on the hygienic re-
suits of toothbrush drill in charity
schools as contrasted with public ele-
mentary schools. Responding to the
reputation of his science, the new dem
tist has become a dignified and most
useful professor of surgery. In no 9TH
er branch of surgery Is the level Of
skill so high; and to this pitch he has
developed in a few years from pre-
decessor Of lower ambitions and at
tainments than any Bob Sawyer Of the
Dickens period.-London Globe.

PRESIDENTS SONS.
Good Records of the Twenty One Who
Have Grown to Manhood.

TldNC ~
Strictly speaking, only 21 presi-
dents sons, concerning whom there
are available records, have grown to
manhood.
Six Observation-Disclosures, Mad
ison, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan "a
bachelor) and McKinley-left nc
children.
Two-Jefferson and Monroe-left
daughters only. President Johnson
had two sons, but both died before
he was president, and so do not count
The sons Of 1S presidents-Johr
Adams, John Quincy Adams, Van
Ruren, William Henry Harrison, Ty'
ler, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, Grant
Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Benja-
min Harrison-have lived to mans
estate. The sons Of Cleveland and
Roosevelt are still boys.
OF the 21 presidents sons who have
reached manhood nine have bulked
large in the public eye on their own
account, and all but one or two have
been solid, substantial citizens.
The prominent nine are John Quin-
cy Adams president, diplomatist and
representative; Charles Francis Ad-
ans, publicist and statesman; Robert
Tyler, register Of the Confederate
treasury; Richard Taylor, who served
with distinguished gallantry on the
Confederate side Of the civil war
John Van Buren,, prominent in state
politics and just entering national
politics when he died; Robert Todd
Lincoln, cabinet minister diplomatist
and president Of world famous cor
poration; Frederick Dent Grant, dip.
lomatist and general in the army
Henry A. Garfield, lawyer, banker
and professor Of politics in a great
university, and James r. GARFIELD
state senator and United States civil
service commissioner Of corporations
In the department of commerce and
labor, now in the cabinet.
Besides the nine who have climbed

who had the unique distinction OF be-
ing the son Of one president and the
father Of another. He was a man OF
force and Of great influence In his
own state, though he was not prom.
inent figure in a national sense
Counting him in, and he surely
made good" as the saying is, ten, ol
only one less than half the presidents
sons who have reached manhood, are
entitled to be named on the roll OF
honor.
Practically all Of the presidents
sons who have grown to mans estate
have been good citizens; their lives
have been clean, wholesome and
credit alike to their parentage and
their country, while ten Of the twenty
have won unusual distinction. II
would be hard to find any other class
of prominent Americans whose sons
have done as we'll as those Of the
presidents.
