DISCIPLINE BANKERS
CLEARING HOUSE FROWNS ON
"HIGH FINANCE"

NEW YORK. October 21.-A feeling OF
contentment and satisfaction prevailed In
banking circles after the history-making
Sunday meeting Of bank presidents. which
succeeded In finally eliminating the
certain of the clearing house banks 1t
was generally believed that by this action
the cloud that has hung over the finan-
cial situation has been dispelled. and that
beginning today a more hopeful feeling
would pervade the situation in the stock
exchange and on the street.
Besides choosing new officers for the
banks in question, and announcing that
each and every one was in solvent
condition, a most important step was
taken. This was the pledging of fund
of $4,000 600 by score of individual
banks to extend aid to banks and render
such assistance to meet their deposits as
the clearing house committee may think
necessary.
New School Methods.
The meeting Sunday was the most nota-
BILE gathering of bankers that any occa-
sion in recent years has brought together
The deposits of the banks represented at
the conference amounted to 81 $50. 600, 600.

These fifteen men decided upon the
measures for eliminating of the Interests
that have been under criticism, which
mea sures later in the day were carried
out.
The methods that have been elimin ted
from the local banking situation. It is
stated, are development of the last
decade. They consist of the buying of a
bank, then putting up the stock repre-.

TARIFF REVISION.

The Springfield Republican speaks of
Mr.. Taft's candidacy, and the tariff issue
more particularly as part Of it, in a
very sensible way. 1t says: Both par
ties are afraid OF the tariff when they
become responsible for the actual reyi-
sion Of it, for within the past genera
ton each has had terrifying expert
ence in connection with those amazing
schedules. The Republicans have incon-
testibly shirked their duty in permit
ting the present altitudinous monstrosi-
ties to 90 so long without Topping oil
their neeks, but perhaps they are to be
congratulated upon having worked up
heroism enough to declare that is, some
Of them---in favor Of revision after the
next presidential elevtion Among these,
standing conspicuously, are Messrs.
Roosevelt and Taft, and more especially
perhaps Mr.. Taft.
THE war secretary is criticised for not
being more pronounced. He should have
insisted upon Immediate revision, it is
said He should have specified the very
schedules he would attack. OF course,
under present conditions, Mr.. Taft could
not wisely have pronounced in favor Of
revision at the coming session, wisely,
that is to say, from the party point OF
view No party will nowadays revise a
tariff up or down on the eve OF presi-
Dental election. Is is hardly worth
while to ericise the secretary on this
score. Nor is it sensible to attack him
for not going into the details OF SEIZED
ules and rates ad yalorem. The main
thing is that he makes tariff revision
one OF the reasons for his presidential
candidacy. Determine on reyision--eith,
er way-and the schedules viii have
their day in court. They will make
themselves heard, as the Standard Oil
and Wall street and the railroads have
not been able to the past few years, with
all the Unlimited resources of the sub
sidized press bureaus and the free pass
Even now, Mr. Taft's opponents with
sure instinct are endeayoring to brighten
the friends of particular schedules by
demanding that the secretary designate
those that he would reduce Senator
Foraker is on the stump shouting,
what schedules, so as to be heard in
every fairfield and fattened hamlet in
Ohio. There is yet to be a contest with.
in the Republican party on this question

sort goes into the next national Re

He was one Of Lchi's best citizens,
a young man Of good habits,
public spirited and yet reserved;
honest with all men. While the

trust that friends may add to

the deepest sorrow. The thought
of II future meeting with those

"Alas for him who never sees
The sun shine through his cypress
trees,
Who hopeless lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day

known,
hat Life is ever Lord of Death.
And Love can never lose it's own. "
