WHAT MORSE DID.
Philadelphia Press. }

The conviction and sentence OF
Charles W Morse for bank looting
though he was not in direct official
management OF the bank, has IN
doubtedly encouraged the Federal
Grand Jury in Pittsburg to call for
a close examination of the national
banks broken by speculation and mis-
management there.
Morse acted throughout by advice
He tried to detach himself from a di-
rect share In bank details. He went
on the stand and testified that he was
not banker" and had left all to
A. II. Curtis, the banks executive
officer, convicted with him, whose
sentence was suspended Morse
testimony and the questions of his
counsel showed that he thought that
he had successfully evaded respon-
sibility.
What he and his brokers did
through Curtis in the bank was to
use the dummy" Kate A Whiting
Morse's stenographer, and an office
clerk of 10, L. E. Whiting, signed
notes for vast sums, appeared as own
ers of stock and ostensibly carried on
transactions in buying and selling
5ndIES Dg lLOuSdUQSs WHICH were
aided and supported by the bank
High finance for twenty years past
has seen much of this. Great cor
porations are organized with Office
boys and clerks as directors. Loans
are made under legal advice to Office
boys. Speculation and ownership
in corporation shares are yelled I'M
der the names of stenographers
This has grown so common that it
has ceased to attract attention and
has become a familiar expedient
Judge Hough, in the Morse case, by
a mastery and comprehensive charge,
pierced through all these evasions.
He fastened direct responsibility on
Morse. He held the "financier" res
ponsible and criminally responsible
for the dummy"
Unless this charge is reversed in
the courts above, and it is not likely
to be, this brings the scope and sweep
of national bank laws and their pen
alties to bear directly on those who
use these methods to evade the Fed
eral statutes against speculative
banking The doctrine laid down
by Judge Hough is sound 1t is not
new. The like has been enumerated
before. But this view of the respon-
sibility of the Spectator and finan-
cier who uses a dummy" has not

very large proportion of the entire
cotton supply of the South This
would naturally attract buyers and
spinners from all over the world, for
here they would be able to find at
all times any grade of cotton they
might require and in any quanti-
ties it might be desired This it is
claimed, would take the control OF
prices out of the hands of Liverpool
and New York, and make New Or
leans the dominating factor in fixing
the price of the staple The plan en-
ables the farmers, to a very large
extent, to control the situation. They
could feed the market gradually and
in proportion to its needs, instead OF
Cutting it in the middle of the sea-
son and thereby forcing the sale OF
their cotton in spectators at most
Improbable prices.
These spectators make the cotton
producers pay through the nose, "
for the risks they run and the chan
ces they take In carrying the pro-
ducts until 1t is needed by the mills,
and 1t is calculated that the large
profits made by them would go to the
farmer under this holding plan. The
farmer, instead OF the Spectator,
would carry his cotton, he would be
able to do so at much cheaper rates

THE NEW ORLEANS WAREHOUSE
New Orleans states.)

One of the results of the great
convention of the National Farm
ers' Union which held special
session in New Orleans during the
current week, has been to rivet pub
lie attention upon the plan proposed
by Mr.. w. B. Thompson for holding
cotton. One of the acts of the con-
vention was the appointment of a
committee of sixteen MEMBERS to be
divided equally between the farmers
and the commercial interests here.
This committee Is to confer together
upon questions of mutual interest to
the cotton growers and the CONNER
cial- interests with view to bring
ing about cooperation in the work
of upbuilding the prosperity Of the
cotton section Of the country.
The Joint committee assembled yes
terday and listened to an address by
Mr.. Thompson in which he outlined
his plans for the establishment OF a
great holding warehouse In this city.
The plan suggested by Mr.. Thomp-
son does not interfere with the ware
houses established in the interior by
the Farmers Union. but it proposes

capacity of from 100000 to 5000, 600
bales, where the farmer may store
his cotton at the lowest possible cost,
receive a warehouse certificate which
will be as good as a Bank of England
note. and then hold the cotton until
he gets ready to sell it. 1t is pro-
posed that the cost will be low by
reason of the following facts:
First, the warehouse, being a quasi
public institution under the control
Of a commission provided by the
State, it will have no taxes to. pay,
no part of the profits viii be ex-
pended in paying dividends, for there
will be no stockholders, and hence no
dividends; such fees as are charged
will be expended for the maintenance
and operation of the warehouse, for
taking care of the bonds that may
be required for building it, for put
ting in such labor-saying appliances
as will greatly reduce the cost of
handling the cotton and generally
in providing for the farmer safe stor-
age and handling of his cotton at
rates based upon the actual cost of
the undertaking.
One OF the advantages of such a
plan, it is pointed out. would be to
concentrate here in New Orleans a

The Record today publishes the

as a candidate for county treasurer
subject to the action of the Demo
cratic primaries. Mr.. Sutherland has
lived in this valley since 1888, being
a native OF California. He was the
first county treasurer of Chaves cou1
ty after the organization of the cOun
ty, and served two terms. Believing
then, as he does now, that two terms
IN succession should be enough for
one man. he did not run for a third
term. Mr.. Sutherland is a successful
ranchman, competent and of unques-
toned integrity. He objected to any
f1Owery or extensive write-up. He pre-
ferred TO stand on his record as
plain Jim Sutherland without flour
ishes. The people of Chaves county
know him, and the result is in their
hands at the primary.
