ASSIGNMENT OF WAGES
Is POINT AT ISSUE

Denver Nov. IA case OF unusual
interest to laboring men was argued
In the supreme court yesterday. II
involved the right o fan employe to
assign away his future wages.
Some time ago three employees of
the Burlington railroad assigned away
a months salary each not yet earned
to the Employees Credit company of
this city. For this assignment they
were given a loan OF so much money.
After the wages had been earned the
Burlington refused to honor the as
signments on the ground that the
employees had no right to assign away
something that did not belong to them.
and at the time OF the assignment they
had not earned the money. The credit
company brought suit and was given
judgment of $79 In the lower court
The railroad appealed and arguments
were heard in the supreme court yes
terday.
The Burlington claims that 1t is
making the fight for the employers
OF all labor throughout the state. that
the matter Of assigning future wages
Is a nuisance, Is detrimental to the
community and that 1t places the en-
ploye almost in the position OF being
blackmailed by the person or company
to whom the wages are assigned. The
road also claims that no man has a
legal right to sign away something OF
which he Is not owner and when an
employe signs away future wages the
employe Is not within the legal bounds
Of the law.
The road is making a hard fight to
secure a ruling on this question hop
ing to get a favorable one and thus
stop a practice that Is in vogue from
one end fthe state to the other.
Should the road secure a favorable
decision then an assignment accepted
by a loan company II It is for future
wages would be null and void and the
person accepting it could not collect
on 1t.
Under the present law collection
on an assignment is not possible un-
less the mans wife, II he is married.
also signs the assignment. A decision
against assigning away future wages
would put one more difficulty In the
way OF the loan sharks.

DARROW REVIEWS M'PARLAND'B
LIFE IN ADAND TRIAL

Rathdrum, Idaho, Nov 1.-THE
greater portion Of yesterday was taken
up in the district court in q cross
examination of Detective James Nc
Parland In the Steve Adams trial.
Clarence Darrow. attorney for the
defense, went into the history Of Nc
Parland, following 1t from his birth
to the time Of the arrest Of Steve
Adams. Mcfarland said he went to
work for the Pinkerton agency about
1869 and had been with It ever since;
became superintendent Of the Denver
once In 1887, and about 1909 became
general superintendent Of the western
division.
He said he had gained many con-
fessions from men, both inside and
outside Of prisons, and told OF num-
ber obtained outside. In obtaining
these confessions he usually told the
man the state ~ . rule dealt ubofally
with men who turned states evidence.

have said that the uncertainty Of the
position of the president made it me-
cessary for the reactionaries to play
their game of politics accordingly; thai
the demand for third term for the
president should be taken advantage
of by the reactionary element and the
sincere Roosevelt men, "beaten to it,"
in getting delegates to the national
convention for the president, care be-
ing exercised that these delegates shall
be under their control if the president
declines.
Aside from the story of the recent
conference, politicians in Washington
have foreseen exactly the move out
lined by the reactionaries as result
of the presidents attitude on the third
term issue. The administration men
admit that the situation may in some
way become acute and that the poll
tical game now being played on both
sides is ticklish one. They rely on
the political acumen of the president
to confound the reactionaries, how
ever, and are disposed to believe that
in keeping quiet at this time the presi-
dent knows what he is about.

THE NEEDS OF ELEMENTARY
KNOWLEDGE OF BANKING

The senseless runs" upon banks
whenever anything happens to cause
distrust of some one institution, or
when a single point of weakness Is ex-
posed, are mainly due to dense ignor-
ance of the elementary principles and
the ordinary methods of banking.
This ignorance is not confined to the
unintelligent and uneducated deposit
ors in savings banks, who may be In
capable Of undertaking or inacces-
sible to better knowledge. 1t Is COM
mon, almost universal, except among
people whose business brings them
into closer practical relation with
banks than that of mere depositors for
the convenience Of drawing money as
1t is needed.
1t is extremely rare that the general
deposits, even in an embarrassed bank
are not entirely safe if time is given
for realizing upon resources without
sacrifice.
In these recent days of excitment
the deposits in banks and trust COM
panies, except those shown to be al
ready in an unsound condition, OF
which there has been only one or two
have been entirely safe; but no bank
can pay a large proportion of its de-
positors all at once.
1t keeps in reserve only enough cash
to meet current demands, with suff1ci-
ent margain for absolute in ordinary
times, and depends upon the maturing
obligations of customers to keep this
up while the bulk of its funds are out
in loans and investments earning
profit. If they were not SO employed
there would be no profit in banking
and no banks for the accommodation
OF depositors.
Savings bank depositors are apt to
be blind to the fact that their money
cannot be kept on hand ready to be
paid out at any moment, except
enough of it to meet current demands
which will ordinarily be provided for
from current receipts. 1t must be in
vested in interest-bearing securities
or in real estate loans SO as to bring
in the revenue from which interest is
paid to depositors.
II they make sudden dash in great
numbers for their money their bank
will not have enough on hand, and the
balance it keeps on deposit in other

proof would Justify conviction. This is
doubtless the reason why there are so
