Would DemOrnlize Business.

The hardest competitor in any line
Of business is the incompetent or dis
honest man who does anything to get
business. Such people get into the
banking business even now, but their
number and influence for mischief
would be greatly increased II they
were backed up by unlimited credit. In
other lines there may be some question
as to the duality or service offered by
rivals, but all bankers deal in the same
made joint liability, there Is no req.
son why they should not go to the
bankers who offer the greatest induce
ments to attract them. The careful
banker would have no offset or protec
ton against demoralizing competition
and he would be placed in the strange
position of being liable for his com
petitor's obligations.
All efforts to make it appear that the
interests of bankers are on one side OF
this question and the interests Of de.
pOsitOrs on the other are untrue to tho
facts. Nothing that in the long run Is
harmful to the banking business, that
puts it under strain and tends to low.

depostors or the public. 1t cannot be
advantageous TO the community to have
It's savings and working capital pass

the unfit, which is the true process OF

Stop That Cold

To check early colds or Grippe with 'Preventics'
means sure defeat for Pneumonia. To stop cold

The fact that the first bank failure
in Oklahoma after the law went into

CAREFUL Banking Best.


Under present conditions there are
compensations In favor of careful and
conservative banking. There are peo-
pie who are not influenced in their Sc
lection OF bank by the highest rate OF
! interest offered on deposits, and who
have their suspicious aroused by the
tender of exceptional inducements.
They know that such offers put a
strain upon the business, and they de-
liberatey prefer to place their money
! with a banker who will not subject
himself to such strain. These deposit
ors esteem safety above all other con.
sideratlons, and they are numerous
enough to exercise very wholesome
restraint upon reckless tendencies in
the business A banker now prizes the
reputation of doing safe business,
and cannot afford to have a reputation
for imprudence and speculative in
check by these powerful considerations,
the pressure of competition carries the
business near the danger line even
now. There Is too much competition
! for deposits, and the ambitions of the
more venturesOme members of the fra
ternity, and the pace they set, puts the
whole system under strain.
But what are likely to be the con-
ditiOns in the business when the public
is no longer concerned about the man
80 Ill
wards for conservatism and restraints
upon recklessness are removed? The
considerations which in the past have
tended to safeguard the business and
advance its standards would be gone
The public would care nothing for the
personality of the banker Instead of
| looking to the institution which receiv-
ed the deposits, the depositOr would re-
| ly on an outside fund. A banker
might bet all the deposits on hose
races without the fact becoming q
matter of any concern to his custom
ers.
And how would the conserva tive
prudent banker fare under these con-
ditions? The legitimate reward fol
maintaining that character would be
| lost to him. He would get no deposits
unless he bid as high for them as his
rivals. for the government would stand
behind the latter, and assure the pub
lie that they were just as safe as he
and tax him to make them so. III
short the reckless and incompetent peo
pie, who are now either excluded from
the banking business, or held in checl
by the distrust which a discriminatin;
public feels towards them, would make
the pace to which everybody else il
the banking business would be obliged
to conform or get out of the business

Special TO The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, June 9.--Initial steps
toward the abandonment of the present
city hall, which was built on the very
outskirts of Venice, and the establish
ment of a high school in place of 1t.
were taken at the meeting of the trus-
tees last night.
Ocean Park has no high hsoool at
present. The absence of one is detri-
mental because it keeps families with
children Of high school age from set
Ting here.
Chairman French OF the board OF edu-
cation explained to the correspondent of
The Herald today that if there is a
local high school 1t will not interfere
with, but rather will help the PROPOSE
ton before Ocean Park, Santa Monica,
Sawtelle, Playa del Rey, the Palms and
one or two other communities. to con-
solidate into one school district, which
then would support a polytechnic high
school.
The proposed local high school would
be Immediately merged into the poly
technic. superintendent Rebok of the
Santa Monica schools said this after
noon he is still working theoretically
on the consolidation project, and does
not apprehend the Ocean Park local
high school movement will retard the
plans in hand.
Since Principal whistler of the Ocean
Park grade school his accepted the
principalship of the Santa Barbara
ward school, the Ocean Park board has
been on the lookout for successor to
him who will be capable of managing
both the grade school and the proposed
high school, as the attendance upon the
latter would not be large at first. If
the high school project fails, Mrs. Nellie
d. Tyler, who is now a first grade
teacher in the Ocean Park school, will
be elected principal to fill the vacancy
caused by Mr.. Whistler going to Santa
Barbara.
The first step necessary toward trans
ferring the city hall to the school de-
partment is to get the donors of the
land upon which the hall stands to con-
sent, because the restriction was placed
upon 1t that ii should be used for no
other purpose than that of a site for
city hall This was acted upon last
night, and the donors will be requested
to give quit-claim deeds TO the city.
Trustee MacKinnon said today that a
new site for a city hall probably would
be acquired close to the center of Ven
ice, which is the geographical center OF
Ocean Park. Several sites are under
consideration.

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, June e.-Flying sig
nails Of distress, the Lucy Neff, 759
tons, Captain Harding, sailed into port
here last night. The vessel is 122 days
out of Bath, Me. Her cargo OF 6OO
tons of calcium is consigned to the
Tillamook Navigation company OF san
Francisco.
The voyage of the Lucy was an ex-
ceptionally tedious one, and had 1t not
been for the fact that the vessel was
we'll stocked with provisions and wa
ter, the sufferings of the crew would
have been frightful. AS 1t was the
only unpleasant part of the journey
was its length.
Captain Harding reports he is ninety
five days out from New York. He
was eleven days passing through the
straits. On his way up the coast OF
South America he touched at Caronel
Chile, for coal. When in latitude
north, his crankshaft cracked, and four
days were lost making repairs. In
latitude 8 north the vessel suffered
a complete breakdown, and the re-
mainder of the journey was made I'M
der sail.
The vessel will remain here until
temporary repairs are made aud Will
then be lowed to San Francisco.

Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, June 9.-The city coun-
ell met this morning and finally passed
the ordinance which has been under
discussion for some time, requiring tho
telephone companies to put safety fuses
in all telephones installed hereafter. put
not in any installed heretofore. There
is no doubt as to the necessity or fuses'
and the companies will save many nun
dreds of dollars by not being compelled
to equip all their old phones in that
manner.
CITY Electrician Reeves appeared be-
fore the council and made strong pro-
test against passing the ordinance In
that form. He pointed out the necessity
for fuses, and declared that what was
needed on new telephones was needed
on old ones also. In spite of his vigor-
Gus and convincing arguments ana the
opposition of Councilman Root ana
Crandell the council placed the measure
on the books as q law.
The council also took steps TO hurry
the work of the Pacific Electric railway
in double tracking its main lines

the time of putting down new paving.

which recently reached the bank. hav-

The check came through the Astor
Trust company of New York, and
might have been put in for collection.
From the fact of the cable inquiry
it is probable someone has advanced
money on the check. Record never had
an account in the bank. A check for
$25 has since turned up. 1t was worth
