In Matter of New National
Banks Flickertails Are
Away Ahead.

AS an illustration of the more rapid
development of North Dakota over it's
sister state, South Dakota, figures from
the report of the department of finance
of the United States are very inter-
esting.
This report, just issued, shows the
number of national banks organized
between March IA, 1900 and Dec. 81,
1906
In South Dakota during that tim.
there were organized fifty-two banks
with a capital of less than $4,000.
The combined capital Of these banks
is $1,310,O0O. During the same period,
in North Dakota there were ninety
five banks organized having less than
$4,000 capital each. and their COM
bined capital is $2.41O,0O0 The diff
ference is s1,1O0,O0O.
During the same length of time, in
South Dakota there were five banks
organized having a capital of more
than $4,000 and their combined capt.
tai is $250,000. In North Dakota there
were seven banks organized. with
total capital of 100000. The differ
ence there is $150,000.
The total capital of banks organ
lied during the period in South Da-
kota is $1,560,0O0 while in North Da-
kota the new banks organized have
combined capital of $2.S10.O0O. The
difference between the capital Is ST.

returned against George w. Perkins,
member of the firm Of ]. P. Morgan
& Company, and Charles S. Fairchild,
former Secretary of the Treasury, in
the New York life cases, but the gen.
eral public seems to approve. Analy-
sis OF the transactions upon which the
indictments were found shows that,
except for its illegality, it was rather
praiseworthy one. 1t made a profit
for the policy hol.ers but none for
either Perkins or Fairchild. The net
benefit to the policy-holders was
$4,000. But, technically at least, the
law was violated and the public rea-
sons that if these men could disregard
the statutes for good purpose other
men might do the same for an evil
one. There has been much clamor for
Insurance indictments and now that
the District Attorney has secured these
against two such prominent men,
others may be looked for. 1t is nc
small matter to get Il grand jury to
pillory a member of one of the most
powerful financial firms in the world
and its consent to do so must be re-
garded as another triumph for Will
lam II. Jerome who was so unmerciful-
ly criticised for his refusal to prose-
cute Perkins on the Republican CAMP
align contribution charge. Against
whom the next proceedings will be
taken is a source of much worry to
more than one man prominent, now
or formerly, in insurance circles.
Many incidents and transactions

CATION disclosed official acts which,
constructively at least, We're unlaw-
full, and all of these are being gone in
to by Mr.. Jerome. Some of them,
of course, do not furnish sufficient
grounds for legal prosecution but
others undoubtedly do. 1t is fact
worthy of note that the Equitable Life,
contest for the control of which pre-
cipitated the entire insurance scandal,
has so far come out of the affair with
out criminal proceedings against any
one with it and apparently had less
to conceal than other prominent COM
panies.

part OF the big powers in finance. The
editorials referred to may be accept
ed, therefore, as evidence of desire
on the part of someone powerful
enough to secure their publication, to
put the president in the position of
being deliberately false to his word.
That the president may again be the
standard bearer of his party is re-
garded in well-informed circles here
as a possibility, but if this comes
about it is felt that it will be as the
result of the impelling force of con-
ditions in which the president could
not, with honor to himself, decline to
accept the responsibilities forced upon
him. In view of this belief there mas
been much discussion here of late as
to what the next year will bring in
republican national politics. 1t is be-
lieved that it was result of realiza-
ton that discussion of the subject had
reached the acute stage that caused the
announcement by Secretary Taft which
is accepted here as tacit bid for the
nomination. Whether it will be taken
seriously enough to relieve the presi-
dent from the embarrassment of hav-
ing himslf debated constantly as a
prospective renominee is a question
The statement coming from a member
OF the Cabinet, naturally could not
have been issued without the approval
of his chief, and to that extent is ac-
cepted in political circles here as
practical notice from Mr.. Roosevelt
that he does not interpose any OPPOSE
ton to the ambitions of others in his
party to reach the exalted Office he
now holds. What chance Taft would
have to secure a nomination does not
appear to be seriously considered thus
far. 1t is recognized that he will have
to count on powerful opposition fror.

ator Foraker appears determined to
make as much trouble as possible for
both the president and the secretary

not pass without notice that Mr.. For
aker seems to have considerable sup
port in the Senate in his attitude on
this question and that he is being
given free hand by his colleagues.

POSSIBILITY FOR THE THIRD TERM AS PRESIDENT

as president. Whether this is his am
bition no one can say except through
conjecture, for, If the president has
any such plans for himself, he has
never, so far as is known, taken any
one into his confidence in the matter.
The presidents future is indeed very
much discussed in his home city just
now although he still has more than
two years to serve as chief executive.
One of the leading newspapers in this
city, perhaps the leader in respect to
political affairs in which it has ex-
ceptional sources of information, in
remarkable editorial recently charged
that Mr. Roosevelt desired and was
seeking another nomination to the
presidency. This editorial, which was
almost bitter in its tone toward the
president, intimated the writer's opini-
on that the favorable attitude of the
White Hous toward labor leaders had
no other object than the securing of
labor support for the next campaign.
Another editorial in the same paper,
in guarded but sarcastic language,
practically declared that Mr. Roose-
welt had permitted unwarranted ex-
tension of pensions to Civil War veter-
ans in order to keep the "Old Sold.
iers" vote in line. The paper in which
these two expressions of opinion hos
tile to the presiden. were allowed to
appear IS noted as an exponent of the
views of Wall street, and it's attitude
may generally be accepted as that of
the capitalistic world. Opposition to
the president in financial circles has
been growing for some time and has
not been lessened by the fact that he
has loyalty and heartily approved Sec
rotary Shaw's course in refusing to
pour out Government funds to aid in
stock market speculation. The result
of the secretary's refusal is seen in the
recent decline in prices on the Stock
exchange and this, added to the fact
that there are now pending many i'm
portant Governmental Investigations

unenviable notoriety which attended
his arrest and the subsequent hearing
which extended over several days and
which attracted the attention of not
only the entire United States but of
Europe as we'll. The nights when Car
uso is billed to sing are now, as they
were before, the gala nights at the Met
ropolitan opera house. The crowds
are bigger, more brilliant, and more
appreciative than when any other per-
former dominates the stage. This in
itself appears to prove that the public
has excused Caruso because of his
great accomplishment and it seems
hardly likely that the feeling toward
him as an artist can be affected by
anything that the courts may choose
to do.

The Inauguration OF Charles L. Hug
hes, the insurance Investigator, as the
republican governor of New York, has,
of course, been looked forward to al
most with anxiety by the old-time ma
chine republicans who have been eager
to know his attitude towards those
who get out the vote on election day..
That he would demand that every as
pirant for public place be capable and
of good character, no one has ever
doubted; but whether or not he would,
even If all other things were equal,
give preference to the party machine
workers, has been question. By his
first acts Mr.. Hughes has shown that
he intends to be governor himself, that
neither county committees nor the
State committee itself, can name men
for positions with any confidence that
these recommendations will be ac-
cepted. At the same time, it has been
shown that If the man so put forward
by the party leaders in available from
the standpoint of ability and character,
the governor will consider the machine
approval of the applicant as something
in his favor. The opening of Mr..
Hughes term appears to mark the
beginning of new era in republican
politics in New York. 1t did not pass
without notice that President Roose-
welt invited the new governor to Wash
ngton few weeks ago to talk over the
situation and that Hughes accepted the
invitation, thereby putting himself
in the position of being Roosevelt
man." This incident was accepted by
the Odell-Platt warehouses of the
party as conclusive evidence that the
president desires to have at least
voice in republican affairs in his native
state, and some have gone so far as
to say that he wishes, in the larger is
sues that may arise to be in absolute
control. And, In this connection, the
old story is revived that Mr.. Roose-
welt desires to go to the United States
Senate at the expiration of his term

a Baptist newspaper, Rev. T. E. f.
Miller, pastor of the First Baptist
church of Grand Forks, presents re-
view of the religious conditions in the
state OF North Dakota for the past
year, and also speaks of the outlook
for the future. In part Mr.. Miller says:
THE most significant religious event

figures in the now famous case of
Signor Enrico Caruso, the matchless
Italian tenor. With the affirmation of
his conviction by Recorder Croft, came
the belated intelligence that Third

who prosecuted Caruso in the lower
court; and that recent act of Of
ticer Cain, Caruso's chief accuser, may
be made the subject of inquiry by the
District Attorney. Gains trouble re-
suited from a case not entirely unlike
that in which Caruso figured so dis
astrously and in which the officers
position is, in a measure, the same. In
the Caruso he was unable to find Han
nah Graham, the principal witness
against the tenor, when the case was
called in court and as a result he be-
came the chief reliance of the prosecu-
ton. In the present case an Italian
who had accused fellow countryman
OF forcing unwelcome attentions upon
the accuser's daughter, was given a
severe beating for his interference.
Cain arrested the assailant but when
the prisoner came up for hearing
the officer informed the court that the
complainant could not be found. An
other witness, however, appeared be-
fore the magistrate with physicians
certificate which declared that the
complainant was confined to his home
as a result of the injuries received at
the hands Of the prisoner and that he
had not been able to leave his home
since the assault was committed. Up
on the receipt of this information the
magistrate called the officer to account
and Immediately referred the matter
to the office of the district attorney for
an investigation and if necessary for
action. Cain is now attached to an
obscure station in the outskirts of the
city, having been transferred from
Central Park, where he had been sta
toned for many years, Immediately
after the conclusion of the Caruso
hearing.
The resignation of Deputy Mathot
was undoubtedly an outgrowth of the
Caruso case. His strenuous zeal in
prosecuting the famous tenor, his re-
markable attack upoi the prisoner and
the crowd which flied the courtroom
as "curs" and "perverts" and "men
of misfit morals" in summing up the
case before the magistrate, and his
subsequent indiscriet utterances in
which he declared that the police have
records which will show that "a bis
hop, clergyman and other persons far
more prominent than Caruso" had
been involved in similar affairs in this
city, earned for him the deep displeas-
ure of his superiors. Rumors of his
impending retirement began to circul-
ate at that time and they were veri-
fled when the announcement came that
he would leave the force with the be-
ginning of the New Year.
The full effect of Recorder Groff's
decision upon Caruso cannot. of course
be told now. 1t was believed for
time that he would have no further
opportunity to seek redress but it now
appears that the case will be taken
to the highest court in the state and
that in the meantime the $40 fine i'm
posed by the police magistrate will
remain unpaid. Upon the present time
