Political Comment
American Banking Strength.

IN the number of its banks Of all
the United States is far ahead of any
other two countries. And in both re-
pects it is growing with great speed.
There were 6,521 national banks in OPP
Grafton in the United States at the end
Of the fiscal year 1907, on June 30.
These banks had q capital Of 1898 ,0OO,-
900 and had a circulation of 5000 ,0O0,-
BOO. In each case there was a large
too, the highest figures ever reached
were touched.
Naturally, there has been a great ex-
p%ansion in national banking since the
enactmSnt of the law of March IA, 1900,
which makes 1t possible for banks to be
organized on a capital of $4,000 the
previous minimum having been $780,
900. This act has melted a large ex-
p%ansion In the small towns of the
South and West. There have been
B,510 banks organized since the pas
sage of that law, with a total capital
Of S207, 100000. The Middle West has
DS5 of these, the Far West has SO7, the
South has $50, the East has $50, with
a few scattered through New England
and the island possessions. Texas
has gained more new banks in the past
seven years than any other State, or
9S1, with ST, 5000 capital, and Okla
homa and Indian Territory have 295
new banks, with a capital Of $1,000
900.
In the entire extent of its banking
power-capital, surplus, deposits and
circulation-the United States is more
than two-thirds as strong as the rest
Of the world in the aggregate, b Unit
ed States total in these four items be-
Ing over ST., 900, 200, 900, while that Of
the rest of the world is approximately
S23, O00, 900. 900. This is a striking evil
dence Of the industrial and financial as
tendency of tbs country. Moreover,
our lead on all those items is inSreas-
ing rapidly. Our internal trade is far
greater than is that of any other two
countries combined, and this calls for

In various shapes, is expanding far
faster.

Cost of Living md Labor.

According TO a report just issued by
the United States Department of Labor
1t is shown that while the cost of
many items Of living has increased,
wages have advanced at a greater
ratio, while hours of labor have been
reduced. A great mass Of facts and
figures accompany the report and the
deductions al be tested by any who
may be skeptical. On the average la
Dor, for fewer hours, is earning more,
with a larger margin of wages over
the advanced cost of living. Employ
ment was never more abundant and
idlers are few. The comparison is for
the year 1906 with the average of the
ten years covered by the last census.
An advance in wages Is shown of 24.2
per cent, an increase In the number of
employees of 40 per cent. with a re-
duction in hours of labor of &c per
cent. BY the same comparison the re-
all price of the chief articles of food
have advanced 1871 per cent. For an
hours labor a workingman gets 7.3
per cent more food supplies than in the
previous decade.
Practical analysis like this disposes
of the assertion frequently heard that
for the masses the cost of living has
outstripped income. Often the many
articles that cost either the same or
less are overlooked. Flour and sugar
are no higher than In the last census
ten years. Railroad transportation is
lower. First-class newspapers are
cheaper and better than In former
years. The National Department of
Labor goes over the subject item by
item, and locality by locality, and its
conclusions are reached with unerring
exactness. This has been a perverse
season in vegetables and fruit, but the
just average of prices cannot be ascer-
tanned from a few exceptional articles.
When the whole field of the income
and outgo of a home Is covered. as In
this careful, unbiased report, the sit
uation Is seen to be favorable.-St.
Louis Globe-DemOcrat.

AGASSIZ AT PENIKESE.

Commemorating the hundredth ami
versary Of the birth Of the great a
uralist, Agassiz, one Of his pupils, Pres
;dent David Starr Jordan, of Leland
Stanford University, describes In the
Independent the summer school which
Agassiz conducted at Penikese Island.
off the south coast Of Massachusetts.
The ~schoolhouse was an old barn,
which seryed both for lecture hall and
dining-room, M b lecture n din
ner went together. At the end Of one
of the three long tables, says Doctor
Jordan, with a movable blackboard a.
ways at his side, sat Agassiz, and when
the dishes were being feared away the
lecture would begin.
On the second morning occurred the
memorable event Of that summer. .Agas-
siz arose as the dishes were taken out,
this time without chalk In his hand,
and began to speak-with that wonder
full touch Of eloquence which Is denied
to most men Of science-of his pur-

lows few In and out Of the building,
grazing his shoulders In their flight.
He told us that the people of America
needed a better education-One that
would bring them into closer contact
with the realities Of nature, and there
fore with truth. He told us how this
training of people to think clearly and
rightly and righteously ought to be &C
complished, and dwelt on the results
which might come to our country from
the training and conservation Of fifty
teacherstyoung men and young women,
armed with enthusiasm and with youth
on their side.
This summer at Penikese was to be
no ordinary piece Of school work, still
less a merry summers outing. We
were there for q mission work OF the
highest possible Importance.
He spoke with intense earnestEesa
and with great dramatic power. and
this was heightened by the deep re.
ligious feeling characteristic Of his
m1nd For to Agassiz each object In

LABORER AND KING.

When George III. of England, In
ern counties, his progress was not that
Of a monarch, but of a squire, to whom
fresh air and exercise were necessities
Of daily life. Society In the Country
House. narrates that the king inquired
about Addison's birthplace, and found
bis pleasure in visiting places enriched
by literary associations. He refused to
be feted and stipulated that there
should be no state entertainments.
During this journey the king gave a
proof Of his kindness and courage,
which may be a matter Of surprise to
American readers. He had recently
visited Berkeley Castle. In CONVERSE
ton with his companion, on Edward
Ills murder In that building, the king
seemed wholly ~preoccupied.
A minute or two later, with the re-
mark that he would ride on a little by
himself, he spurred his horse, and met
a laborer AIDING by the side Of a wagon.
Attempting to steer his horse between
the rider and the cart, the king was
somehow hit on the leg by the rider and
nearly precipitated into the wagon.
Manners, his companion, seeing the
accident, quickly rode up. Doubling
the thong of his hunting crop, he lifted
1t against the man, exclaiming. You
scoundrel! Don't you see 1t Is the
kingT
The countryman. petriied with sur
prise, remained speechless. and in I'M
minent peril Of the courtier's lash.
Don't strike him on any account 2"
exclaimed the sovereign. "My knee Is
hurt a little, but it was altogether an
accident, and will do me no real harm"
On reaching the ext stage. his mai
esty insisted On himself applying the
liniment which had been procured.
1t proved to be a severe and painful
confusion but the king would not con-
fess himself disabled, and continued
the journey as II nothing had occurred
to interrupt It

thoughts and conduct in the presence of
Gods ideal expressed in nature was
TO him the most foolish form Of sacri-
lege.
What Agassiz actually said that
morning can never be said again. No
reporter took his language, and no one
after all these years can call back the
charm OF his manner or the simplicity
and impressiveness Of his zeal and
faith.
At the end he said abruptly, as he
sat down, II would not have any one
pray for me now"
For a moment we were surprised, not
knowing what he meant. Then 1t fash
ed over us that he wished to say that
he would not like to call on any one
else to pray In his place. And he con-
Guided with the hope that each one of
us would utter his own prayer in ST.
lence.
After this, during the summer at
P~enikese, with Its succession Of Joyous
mornings. bright days and calm nights,
with every charm of sea n sky, the
master was with us al day long, all
the time ready with help and encour-
agement, always ready to draw on his
OWL wide experience In Europe and
America, always ready to give us from
his own stock of knowledge.
Whatever he said was translated into
language we could understand. The
boundless enthusiasm which surround
ed him like an atmosphere was always
present. The thing he had in hand was
the one thing best worth doing; the
people round him were the men best
worth helping; and the 'bit of sod un-
der his feet" was "the sweetest to him
I'm any world"

A Serious Matter.

Industries affected. Modern business is
so complex and tariff schedules are so
involved and ~far-reachlng that to tin
