There il now no doubt but that the
''lid'' will be put on in Aberdeen. go lar
as the saloons and general business are
concerned, and that it will be introduced
next Sunday. There is also no doubt
but that the city has the right. under the
general law, to specify what places shall
close and what places may keep open,
and under its powers regulating the
hours of closing and opening.
So long is the general government
grants licenses, the states allowing spec.
ial traffic will have to grant licenses for
police reasons, and 60 long as the states
grant licenses the towns and cities not
having the local option law in force will
have to grant licenses, to enable them 10
control and police the traffic. This in
itself gives the city the power to decide
what dave and hours certain classes of
business shall close and what classes
may keep open.
As all laws are made for the welfare OF
the citizen, and the citizen not made for
the law, the question naturally arises as
to what is best for aberdeen. with its
cosmopolitan population and its many
people, especially young men, without
any places OF resort; no club rooms,
reading rooms, parks. or III tact anything
in the , ay OF places of rec cation OF re-
freshment. This Is the problem that
confronts the city authorities and this is
the problem they are trying to solve.
Under the circumstances the authori.
ties will have to more or less modify the
powers granted them, and in designating
the hours that certain places shall close,
and what lines OF business may keep
open, they will be governed by what
they deem to be the best for all con.

New York Clearing House Moves to

SEVERAL OFFICIALS RESIGN

New York, Oct. 21.-The clearing
house committee announce that the
F. Augustus Heinze, Carles w. Morse
ana y. F. Thomas interests had been
eliminated from the banking organiza-
tlons OF New York city, and in the
nght OF this fact the Clearing House
Association announced its readiness
TO lend all necessary aid to any of
the banks which have been under sus-
plcion, the clearing house investiga-
tlon having established their sol
vency.
1t is believed that this action will
prevent any crisis in New York bank
ing circles.
William H. Havemeyer, one of its
directors, was elected to the presi-
dency of the National Bank of North
America, succeeding Alfred H. Curtis,
resigned.
1t is understood that the Mercantile
National bank will undergo a process
of slow liquidation.
\ AT a special meeting of the board
OF directors of the Mercantile National
bank, Seth NJ. Milliken was elected
president of the bank, to succeed F.
Augustus Heinze, resigned. At the
same time William-Skinner and Gerish
H. Milliken we're elected additional
vice presidents, Gerish M. Milliken
being added to the board of directors.
The clearing house committee met
with the directors of the bank, and
the two boards were in session for
about four hours. Later William
Sherer, manager of the Clearing House
association on behalf of the associa-
ton, gave out the following state
ment:
"a committee of the clearing house
has examined the several banks of the
association that have heen under criti
cism and find them solvent. The
clearing house committee have decid
ed to render them such assistance tC
meet their deposits as the committee
may think necessary"
Neither the members of the board
of the Mercantile National nor the
clearing house committee would ado
to these announcements. The state
ment of Mr.. Sherer however, is takel
to mean that the clearing house com
mittee is perfectly satisfied with tn,
reorganization of the Mercantile Ma
tional and will see that the bank i
enabled to meet any crisis that tn
widely published stories about it
condition, following the collapse o
the Heinze corner in United Copper
may force it to face.
While none of those connected wit
the Mercantile National or the clear
ing house would. discuss any phase
the matter, it is known that it is tn
belief of the clearing house commi
tee that the election of Mr.. Millike
as head of the bank will remove tn
