new MEXICO BANKS
IN SPLENDID SHAPE

Santa Fe, Feb l3.-'T am more
than ever satisfied that all of the ter
ritorial banks are going through the
financial panic in the best possible
shape. There will be no bank fail
ures in New Mexico"
The foregoing statement was made
today by Travelling Auditor Charles
V. Stafford who is in a position to
know WhAt he is talking about. Mr.
Stafford has just returned TO the city
after a trip to the southern part Of
New Mexico Ever since the money
stringency began last fall he has been
very active especially I'm examining
New Mexico banks operating under
territorial charter with a view of de-
termining their solvency.
That not a single bank in the ter
ritory was forced 10 close its doors
temporarily or even exhibited signs
OF weakness speaks well Of the finan-
clal interests Of New Mexico. Terri
torial banks weathered the storm as
safely as the national institutions,
and as "a general rule they all have
larger cash reserves on hand at pres
ent than they did a year ago.
During the past three months the
travelling auditor has examined all Of
the territorial banks, and he is more
than pleased with the condition in
which he has found them financially.
The money panic has spent its force
now and public confidence IL again
returning in the eastern financial CEN
ters followed by a general resump-
tion of factories, shops and mills
which had been forced 10 close down
OF operate with greatly reduced
forces,
New Mexico as a whole never was
In better financial condition than at
the present time, according 10 the OBJ
servations OF Travelling Auditor SAT-
ford. Nineteen hundred and seven
was a record breaking year In the
territory in many respects despite the
financial stringency at It's close,

First National Bank of Chicago, last
night at the dinner of the bankers
club at the auditorium annex. Mr..
Bryan was criticising the banking law
of the country especially the. one pro-
viding a penalty on a bank that loans
more than ten per cent. Mr.. Forgan
took exceptions to the statements of
Mr.. Bryan, and said the law had been
changed. Mr.. Bryan heatedly asked
if there was a penalty, and Mr.. For.
gan also with considerable feeling re-
piled that the law was enforced. Mr..
Bryan gathering himself together,
leaned forward, and extending his arr
in a fighting position, said: ''Will you
tell me that the law was enforced in
New York during the panic?" He
received no answer. q stake my
reputation" cried Mr.. Bryan, more We.
hemently than before, "that the law
was not enforced in New York dur.

if the law had been enforced In New

that you st IT with the stomach and
whenever you feel depression after
