Newark Ledger. (Dem)
The late Legislature has been charged
with laziness. It has been said that but
few important measures were enacted,
and the time was used in adjournments
and useless ways From the number OF
bills signed by the Governor. the meni-
bers were not idle all the time. We think
the charge or laziness Is almost without
foundation. Notwithstanding the fact that
over half the members returned to their
homes every day. they were busy which
is proven by the number OF laws enacted
not counting the defeated measures which
took time. The late Legislature has dons
as well as it's predecessors. Give the Leg
islaturemen all that Is due them. There
has been acts OF omission and commits
sion, which will oe brought against them
later The body was Republican, and at
their door all blame will rest for extrava-
ganco and wasteful use Of money. This
they must bear. as these charges win be
charged 10 them. This charge has bccn
divided upon the Democratic members,
but as they were the minority party the
blunt OF the charges must rest with the
Republican members. The minority seldom
iuiNo tht HldJoiiA9s AHt Hdloii'9 tVNiH We
feat any measure, and therefore, the Dem-
ocrauc members cannot be blamed II the
Republican members gave their support
TO measures when they should have de-
feated them. But at the best the whole
business will be a nine-days' talk
Therefore let tho Legislature Of 1907 go
down TO history for what 1t is worth.
There has been better ones and ones not
as good. What do the majority Of the peo-
pie care? Very little Those who are dissat-
shed can take the past as a guide to The
futre. and they can act accordingly at
future elections.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

THE end of the first quarter of the new year
Il finds as the only disturbance in the busi-
ness situation the furry in Wall street and the
attempt of panic agitators to create distrust and
throw the blame upon the President There is
still more or less uncertainty, but there is no in
dcation that the solid foundation OF our business
prosperity has been threatened.
The commercial record for the three months OF
the year has shown greater volume OF business
than during the same period OF last year, when
it was supposed that prosperity had reached the
high water. The real work of production goes on
unhampered. The factories are unable to meet
the call OF the iobbing trade. The demand Of the
country is larger than the supply. Prices are
holding good and the distribution OF wealth in
lhe advances in wages is being felt in many quar-
krs. AS the worker and the lsborer earn more

FINALLY pEPENDs ON VOTES.

TN ANY movement for reform one man cannot
4 carry the whole burden upon his own shoul-
ders Governor Hughes has learned that lesson
by experience lie was elected to the executive
chair on the strength of his promises to remedy
abuses that were revealed in New York by the in-
surance inquiry and TO relieve the general and
long existing complaints of the domination OF the
public service and other corporations of the af-
fairs of New York Mr.. Hughes stood for GER
tain measures and had he not taken such an at
titude he would have met with overwhelming de
feat at the polls But the voters trusted him and
he has endeavored as best he could, TO make good
his promises Measures were recommended by
him to the General Assembly in accordance with
his pledges Most Of these bills are tied up in
the committee rooms of the Legislature When
the people elected Mr. Hughes Governor they
evidently did not choose members Of the General
Assembly who were in entire sympathy with him.
Seeing that the reform measures were doomed TO
defeat the Governor has taken the people into
his confidence, and the other evening he explain
ed his position TO a mass meeting OF voters in
New York city. He told of the alliance between
the political machines Of both parties and the
corporations and how difficult it is to have any
measures enacted into laws that the large inter-
ests are against. He pointed out that huge busi-
ness enterprises are a creation OF the Legislature
and. therefore, the Legislature should by COM
mission keep watchful eye on the conduct Of
business
There is lesson in the experience of Governor
Hughes for other States. The real source Of
power is in the legislative bodies, whether such
- I 80,
measures for the interests Of the people are to be
adopted the voters must watch after the legsla-
tive end. For instance. had the voters of Della
ware been alert we should not have had such
members as the last State Senate contained.
The watchfulness OF voters can be tested at our
own city election soon to be held Members of
City Council made a valiant fight for home rule
for Wilmington. They won a small victory. It
is now up to the people to see that a City Council
is maintained that will work for the interests of
Wilmington and not for private business inter
ests. The place to do this is at the primaries
Let the record of each man who offers himself as
a candidate at the primaries Of either party be
thoroughly examined The aspirants will be for
or against the interests Of the masses.
If municipal progress is to be continued it is
highly important that men in sympathy with
these views shall be elected to Council Especially
is this true when the vast amount OF money to be
spent for public Improvement purposes is consd-
cred.
The voters who sleep at their posts when nomi-
nations are made should not complain if they
should wake up and find that the private interests
have captured the booty in the shape of securing
the nominations OF those who will willingly obey
their slightest nod
Wilmington should have officials for Whining
ton, and not for private interests or for public
service corporations.

OF the Phoenix National Bank, This
bank has individual deposits OF $212,-

with approved reserve agents OF more
than $4,000, which is twice the
amount necessary under the fifteen
per cent law. Every dollar OF the
banks deposits are amply secured.
Not only has this bank cash assets in
the nature of legal reserve funds. but
1t has other cash resources that bring
the total TO over 81. 900. which Is forty
per cent Of the deposits OF the bank.
The bank depositors are secured by

4. A matter of special interest 10 the
public just at present Is the condition
of the banks of the city and county
and for this reason the statement OF
the condition OF the Maury National
Bank and the Phoenix National Bank
, published in The Herald today will
be thoroughly read and digested OF
course these statements will show some
decrease in the amount Of deposits
and loans. In times OF stress and
financial unrest there will naturally
be some liquidation.
Depositors who have fairly large
amounts on deposit and who also have
notes in bank will naturally apply
their deposits in a measure to the
payment of their notes and thus re.
duce both the deposits and the loans
There is In addition a measure of
Withdrawals even under the present
restrictions.
The chief matter to be considered
at this time, however, Is the amount
of cash on hand for the payment OF
depositors. The banks in the smaller
cities are required by law to keep on
hand as legal reserve for the pay
ment of depositorss15 per cent Of the
amount of the individual deposits.
Both banks here have much more than
the legal reserve required.
The statement of the Maury Ma
tional Bank shows deposits of 1885,
900 in round numbers. The legal re.
serve for this amount would be $751;
$50, but this bank has on hand In the
bank in actual cash $75,250, and has
in addition a reserve OF cash In other
banks, which is counted also as a legal
reserve, 100000, making reserve
of $4,000. This total reserve is more
than As per cent of the deposits. or
three times the amount required by
law. In addition to this cash OF
$177 900, the $3S5,O00 OF deposits is
secured by other resources amounting
to $409, 900, and an additional liability !
Of 100000 the amount OF the capital
stock. 1t will be seen that in spite
Of the strenuous times the bank con-
tinues TO make money. Undivided
