AS the s'big bankers dominate
the American Bankers Association
the resolutions against guaranteed
deposits are not astonishing. On the
contrary, such action ought to con-
vince most Ohio bankers of the wis
dom of meking their banks stronger

Here in Ohio no bank can be
made a depository for state, county.
township, municipal or school funds
without giving ample security for
sGch deposits, and now even the
fraternal societies are requiring Sc
curity for the deposit of lodge
funds. Why not give the same Sc
curity to individual depositors?
The "blg bankers" however, who
dominate the Americpn Bankers AS
soclatlon declared that the plan to
guarantee individual depositors
would be "the mother of panics"
Well who or what was the mother
Of this panic? And why doesn't the
guaranty of nationpl, state and local
funds cause panics?
These "big bankers" have a plan
more to their liking. Rather than

strengthen the solvency Of bpnks in
general, they close their resolutions
against guaranteed deposits by
saying: "Let congress provide
means whereby perfectly solvent
banks with COOL assets can obtain
currency with the same facility ps
banks in other great commercial
nations ana thoy will have gone
far toward the prevention of panice. ="
Going far is rot going all the
wav: rnd asset currency for ''hig
bankers" on the plan Of the Aldrch
BILL will not help the big bulk of
bankers outside OF the commercial
centers; while depositors will con-

lodges require security for deposits.
Besides who shall say what banks
are "perfectlv rolvent" and have
"good assets" AMI what Is the i'm,

not obtain asset currency on such
terms.
The resolution adopted Pt Denver
by the American Bankers Association

as well as their customers to favor

HOW TO ADVERTISE.

An unusually large number of men are volunteering for service in the united States navy, and of these an exceptional number are accepted be- cause fit. In consequence navy ofil- cials are in a serene and confident mood. This recalls bit of history. Last year the bureau of navigation appropriated $50.000 for advertising Tor recruits and used the money in monthlies, weeklies and dailies. This year, before deciding how to spend similar amount. the bureau thought IL best to analyze returns. It was found that recruits induced to enter the service by magazine advertise ments cost from $15 to $65 each aud those from daily newspapers $3.S6 each. Therefore this years appro- priation was placed mainly with the dailies. and the results are beginning to appear.

The New York Sun of to-day
 descants editorially regarding Con-
 necticut politics and the Hon George
 L. Lilley, as follows:
 "The Connecticut republican ma
 chine Is a grand old machine, just
 as the Connecticut constitution may
 be called a grand old machine con-
 stitution; and the Nutmeg folks arc
 long suffering and lack gall to make
 oppression bitter. A year and a half or more ago the republican nomina-
 ton for governor was promised to
 the Hon George Leavens Lilley. NJ. C., of Waterbury. that brilliant genius and sagacious public charac- ter who has since told things to the submarines. Mir Lilley's perform ances at Washington last spring, while doubtless entitling him to the martyrs crown, are not the consid- eration for the compensation which the masters of the machine prom ised in 1907 and are now paying. He is to be nominated for governor be- cause the machine agreed to make him governor. If, to put 1t coarsely, he made rare and radiant ass of himself at Washington, the more op- portunity for the machine to show its power Ass or not, he is to be the candidate. Republicans who don't like him--they seem to be numerous in the cities, but the coun- try towns may be supposed to be true to the machine-why, they can lump him. Hear the defiant word of the Waterbury Republican,:
 For every republican vote Lil- ley loses he will get at least one democratic vote. That is the way the tide sets.'
 We don't pretend to understand upon what grounds this jaunty | rests. Is there some fas- cination, not visible to the outer eye, in Lilley? Are the Connecticut democrats eager to help the republi- can machine and lose the chance, if | l, is one, of putting in governor of | their own? Let us mention reverent- ly but not try to worm into these high mysteries. It is enough and should be more than encouraging to know that the Connecticut republi- cans are so confident of MT Taft's strength that they can afford not to 'enominate the present excellent governor; that they have no use for 4ieutenant-Governor Lake, a young gentleman guilty, we believe, of con- iderable intelligence; that they take orders to hurrah for a person whose alent, so far as the world outside of Nutmegia can see, is his talent for elf-asinification ta, ' Steady old Connecticut!
