NceH of bank Examiner.

Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-The trouble OF the Bank OF
brings to our minds for
chilly again the crying need OF State
bank examiner. Our banking laws are
entirely too lax. We should have very
stringent laws governing banks OF all
kinds, and 1t was a great oversight or
mistake in our lawmakers not to have
passed the lawsthat was introduced or
a better one. 1t is fearful thing to
think of women, children, orphans,
etc, putting, probably, their ali in d
bank, and en- account OF the uIsnon-
esty or incompetency of cashier, have
their all swept from them In day.
No banker should object to being ex-
amined; If so. l shouldn't want my
money with him. l believe directors
should be held responsible for derelic-
ton Of duty when these things happen.
Directors should direct or resign. They
are usually nothing but dummies. I
hope your able paper will bring this
matter prominently before the peo-
pie of Virginia, and that we may soon
have such law as will protect. at
least, the innocent depositors They
are entitled to much more protection
than they get. Yours truly,
South Boston, Va, May 4. 1908.

Open Competition.

Editor of The Times-Dispatch:
Sr,-In your issue of yesterday (the
5tD. in the proceedings Of the City
Council, 1t is stated, to wit, that Mr..
White asked an appropriation Of $1,000
for bust OF the late wilfred L. Cut
shaw. City Engineer. and to be placed
In the City Hall. And 1t is further pro-
vided that the commission be given
to Mr.. William L. Sheppard"
"Twould not be too much to say that
this appropriation in honor Of the
faithful services of this gallant SOL
der and competent engineer would
meet with the unanimous consent OF
the people of Richmond.
Now as the proviso--to wit, that
the commission be given to Mr.. w. l..
Sheppard"-is of a different nature. and
not intending to derogate in the least
or to detract from the excellency or
competency of Mr.. Sheppard. yet why
designate any one? Why not place the
matter before others of like ilk who
monials? AS is the we'll establishcd
precedent in such cases, In the con-
struction of monuments. statues, busts
and tablets. why not leave the field
open to bidders. the only fair and Just
rule? In no way is this meant to be
invidious to Mr.. Sheppard. but it is
only fair and just to allow others to
present their claims and merits, thus
strictly avoiding favoritism or class
legislation. that great abomInation so
hurtful always in Its usage In our
economic system of fairness. And let
us In such matters exemplify and en-
phasize that great bulwark as laid
down In our Fundamental law Equal

Honor to Whom Honor 1. Due.

Editor of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir,-As ting family physician Of Mr..
Robert G. Lucas for more than four
decades, am familiar with his private
and public life. He is eminently worthy
of all the encomiums passed upon him
in your notice OF his official life. With
out his knowledge, l take pleasure in
giving my testimony to his faithful
ness to the city. 1 can recall many
instances of severe illness in his fam
lily. when Mr.. Lucas would, at the usual
early hour, repair to his post of duty
and take such time as lie could spare
from his work to5visit the sick Of his
family. For such fidelity to duty and
for such consistent moral life as Mr..
r. G. Lucas has maintained and lived
these flfty-two years OF arduous SER
vice, the Council would do honor to the
city by adopting the recommendations
of our Mayor concerning this old and
honored officer

THAT sEcREr.nysuIp.

s- In electing its secretary for the Yir-
ginia state Board of Charities, the
board should bear in mind that the
secretary will be the most important
member of that organization. This is
fully demonstrated by the history of
the conference now meeting in Rich
mond, which had its inception in a
meeting of few secretaries of State
Boards OF Charities.
Among the committees OF the con-
ference is one on State supervision
presided over by member of one OF
the Oldest and most successful boards
OF State Charities in the country. rhs
committee will present as speakers two
secretaries of State boards. one pres
ident and the other an eX-secretary,
each of whom has been president of
the national conference.

clear estimate of the type OF man
requisite for our work here. The sec
retary's duties are no mere perfume
tory routine. He must possess much
Rdaptability and have the faculty of
learning quickly. He must win the
confidence and good Will of the insti-
tutions lie inspccts and of the public
whom he represents. He must have
tact, good sense and good Judgment.
and, above all. his personal reputation
must be of the highest
IL Virginia chooses a man Of This
sort the new move for the State Board
OF Charities Will prove profound
blessing to the State. But If. from any
political influence, or lack of proper
thought, the State Board of Charities
names man who cannot take mis-
place as representative of Virginia
IN the national conferences, then when
the conference comes :gain to Rich
'nond, perhaps in 1928, we shall have
no chance to see our secretary advanced.
as so many other State secretaries have
done. to the high and distinguished
place of president of this powerful,
and important body.
The man who appears to possess
more qualification for this office than
any one se,.ayailable we can how're
