First National Bank Closed

The First National Bank ofScot-
land was closed last Saturday at
noon, by National Bank Examiner
Silsby who is now in charge as
temporary receiver. A statement
of the bank published the day be-
fore it closed, showing condition on
January 26, 1907, showed that the
bank was apparently in very fair
condition, but of course the value
Of the securities given can not re
told until the investigation by the
examiner is completed. The First
National Bank was organized Jan.
lst 1904, succeeding the Bank of
Scotland which was organized un-
der an old territorial charter, and
ruin fof many years by G. c. King.
Mr.. King also owned a controlling
interest in the stock of the new
bank and was its president, and J.
p. Resner, cashier. A short time
ago the bank was re-organized MIR.
King having contracted to sell
his stock to Mr.. Andrew Resner,
but it appears that this deal had
not been completed at the time Of
the failure and THAI considerable OF
the stock is still held by Mr.. King.
In the new organization V. s. Bar
ker was made president and J. P.
Resner cashier. Last week a re-
port from Sioux Falls appeared in
the daily papers to the effect that 4
judgment of over $1,000 had been
against the stock holders
Of the old Bank of Scotland, but
though Mr.. King promptly settled
the Judgment the suspicion arous-
ed by this report, together with
rumors of other matters pending
against the Bank of Scotland,
caused heavy Withdrawals by the
depositors Of the First National
which it was feared, though perhaps
without reason, might be held for
the obligations of the old bank.

Realizing that the bank could not
stand q run the examiner was call
ed and after consultation with the
officers he decided to take charge
Of the bank. The last bank state
ment showed deposits aggregating
over $105, 600. OF these about
half were time deposits and
the other half deposits subject to
CHECK. In the bank we're over
fifteen hundred dollars Of school
money, Mr.. Resner being school
treasurer; about $1,000 Of county
funds, and . large amount Of
government money belonging to
the Indian fund. Il is hoped that
9 satisfactory settlement can be-
made SO that the bank can be re-
opened, but if not a permanent re-
ceiver will be appointed and the
affairs closed up to the best posi-
bic advantage to the creditors.

CITIZENS RIGHTS ABROAD.

The question of the international status Of
citizenship is eminently appropriate for consid-
GRAFTON at The Hague. Baron d'Estounelles
de Constant has wisely reminded us that the
object OF the Interparliamentary Union and SIM
liar bodies Is not only to secure the settlement
Of differences by arbitration instead of by war;
but also still more to prevent the occurrence OF
serious differences. Now, the status of citizens
of one country in another country is one of the
most prolific sources Of international differences
as the United States has ample reason to know /;
and if that status, If the rights, privileges and
immunties of citizens abroad could be definitely
determined, the harmony of international rela-
tiOns would be materially promoted
The subject is, however invested with pc
culiar difficulties. "Old PANS" resoundng
"Civs Britannlcus Sum" is still remembered
and it still forms, and 1ttlngly forms the key
note of national sentiment in other lands than
England. There is no subject on which a ma
tion is more sensitive than that of the treatment
of its citizens in foreign lands. The value Of
a nations government is largely gauged by the
degree of protection which it affords to its cit
izens wherever they may happen to be. To ask
q country to relax It's vigilance or to withdraw
its protection would be an uncommonly delicate
matter. To accede or to seem to accede to Il
demand to that effect is something which n
government would naturally hesitate to do and
which it might be extremely perlous for it
to DO.
Another difficulty arises from the differences
of theory and practice concerning citizenship
among he various nations. Citizens are diff
ferently regarded and treated at home. How,
then, can we expect uniform treatment of them
abroad? Some countries still insist upon the
rule "Once citizen always a citizen" denying
the right Of expatriation, while others are in
clined to cancel the citizenship of absentees and
to compel their involuntary expatriation after
certain limit has been reached or passed.
Among these varying views and practices it
would rot be easy to find common ground of
agreement sufficiently definite and specific to be
Of value.
1t may, however, be possible, as it is doubt
less desirable, to enforce to some practical ex
tent the salutary principle that in citizenship
as IN other things man cannot eat his cake
and have it, too 1t is indisputabe that there
are some gross abuses of citizenship. nerbane
We might say especially of American citizenshin
Thus. it is an abuse of privilege for a man to
come hither and get naturalized, and then on
back TO live most of his time in the old conn
try, trusting to his American citizenship N
secure him immunity from laws which he for
merly found burdensome. 1t is an abuse for an
American citizen, natural born or naturalized
TO defy the laws of the foreign land which ba
visits or in which he lives trusting to the 1ro
lection of the American government in so doing.
1t is an abuse for an American even thouph
natural born, to settle permanently in another
land and claim immunity from its local laws on
the ground Of American citizenship Yet pre-

Richmond's affiliations are closer with New

ROckland, and no harm could have come from
recognizing Staten Islands geographical isOla-

The proposed appOrtionment is not perfect,
and no appOrtlonment of the state can be made
which will be more than relatively fair and
equal But the new scheme is a marked i'm
provement over the old one in that it does not
emphasize inequalities, but accepts them only
when they are plainly unavoidable Partisan
ship and personal politics play very minor
role in the redistribution of representation,
which is undoubtedly as equitable as could he
hoped for in view of the rigidity and compICa-
tiOns Of the apportionment article of the consu-
tuition. The spirit in which the Senate has
responded to Governor Hughes's recommenda-
tOns is highly gratifying 1t has tried hon
estly and succeeded admirably In subordinat-
ing personal and party interests to the primary
duty of giving the various parts OF the state
their due share of representation. This course
may challenge old ideals of partisan e1pedlency'
But in the end 1t will be found to be the safest
politics and wisest craftsmanship.

The appOrtlonment agreed on by the Repub-
hcan Senate caucus seems to meet-and In all
probability Will meet-the objections success

It attempts 10 distribute representation more
evenly among the various sections of the state
and 10 respect more strictly the Injunction that
districts must be- as far as practicable COM
pact It does not realize the requirement
that districts must be contiguous But no
apportionment of the state could possibly be
made under the restrictions of the cOnsfitu-
tion which would fulfil all the conditions which
II prescribes. COntiguity was not secured in the
act of 1906. Yet for that admitted failure the
law was not challenged, and it seems safe to
presume that the courts will not insist on a too
literal compliance with the ideal of contiguity
If the new districts are found to be- on the whole
compactly arranged and-what is more i'm
portant-to assure a fair division of represen-
tative power
1t might be argued. indeed, that the trainers
Of the constitution of 1895 practically annulled
the requirement of contguity when they drew
Up their own plan of appordonment to hold
good until after the state census of 1905. They
made Senate district Of Suffolk and Richmond
counties, which can be considered contiguous
only by stretch OF the imagination. Queens
is as contiguous to Richmond as Suffolk is
yet the Queens Richmond district was one of

Of population was, however, the chief offence
charged against that district, since Queens had
more than enough population TO entitle it to a
Senator alone. In the Encouragement approved
by the Senate caucus Richmond and Rockland
are coupled together. They are less contiguous
and compact than Richmond and Suffolk or
Richmond and Queens. But unless a more or
less liberal construction of the letter of the
constitution is permitted, no apportonment OF
any sort will stand, and we shall find ourselves
in the same predicament that PENNSYLVANIA now
faces-its Legislature having fatty ignored
constitutional provision prohibiting the attach
ment of any part Of a county 10 another county,
on the ground that the rules Of apportionment
laid down by the constitutional convention
were contradictory and defeated themselves It
