The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-03-03


BY considering oniy one passage in
a recently published letter from
James B. Forgan, the Chicago bank
er. to Senator Hopkins of Illinois.
without reference to the full text of
the communication, that distinguish
ed financier. the editor of the Com
moner, fell into the error Of setting
Nj. Forgan down as an advocate of
the government guarantee of national
bank deposits, whereas he is the
strongest sort of an opponent of the
proposition In his letter to the ILL
nois senator he had taken occasion
to say Of such government guaran-
tee that it would reduce all bankers
to the same level and that. in these
circumstances, there would be abso-
lutely no reason why any one should
not drop into the first bank he came
to to deposit his money. The gov
eminent being responsible for the
deposits" he explained. puts all on
an equality and makes all equally
good
And Editor Bryan forthwith as
sumed these statements to consti-
tute commentator of the govern
ment guarantee plan, appropriated
them as the text for an editorial, sug-
gested that an admirable Democratic
slogan or campaign cry might be
made of them and twisted them into
this shape as a quotation from the
Chicago banker: 1T would make
all banks safe, one just as good as
another, and for that reason man
would go to any bank with his
money"
In his open letter correcting the
misquotation and defining his posi-
tion on the question Banker Forgan
says that in his judgment the gov
ernment's guarantee would gradually
but inevitably reduce the high stand
ing and credit of the strong. conser-

Readers of the News will find it
accurate in its statements. Should
it err it will have no hesitation about
making correction. 1t has malice
for none; is in this field simply and
solely for the purpose of telling al
that may be going on that the public
has right to know about, and telling
it without prejudice

1t means greater freedom in getting
about and enables people to come in

get good look at the state and
learn first hand of its resources and
its great future promise, for the most
part make haste to locate, or at least
to acquire Interest.

vatiye and well managed banks to
the level Of the weak. speculative and
poorly managed institutions, and that
such plan is altogether undesira-
BILE for these reasons chiefly:
The distinction existing between
banks now in public estimation would
be gradually eliminated. The well
established bank, with record of
many years for conservatism and
good management, and with accum-
ulated financial strength, would be
placed in the same category by the
public as bank controlled by spec
ulators or in the hands of incompe-
tent or dishonest managers.
To remove the necessity of dis
elimination by the public as to where
they as individuals will deposit their
money would prove severe blow to-
the entire fabric of credit and con-
fidence which lie at the foundation Of
all business intercourse. Under al
Democracy such as ours banking
must be free to all.
BY providing a government guar
antee for deposits, the rascal is in
vited to become a banker and to-
cover himself with a mantle of credit
which otherwise would be quite i'm
possible for him to acquire. and
which is provided for him by and at
the expense of all the good banks in
the country. This would not he
square deal. 1t would put dishonesty
and reckless banking at premium
and remove from the banker all am
bition to excel in his profession and
to acquire that good name which
Solomon says lis rather to be chosen
than great riches.
The incident is interesting as
showing the eagerness with which
the Honorable William Jennings
Bryan in these days grabs at any
thing, no matter how impracticable,
if only it has the semblance of a
new idea and can be capitalized
for political employment. The in
cident is important, too, because the
Commoner's mistake has served to
bring out a correction that consti-
tutes valuable contribution to the
current discussion of banking and
currency questions.

STATES WITNESS

Joe Carroll was arrested Sunday
afternoon at Fargo and will be

is named in the complaint as the
states main witness and tho arrest OF
Carroll was the result Of testimony
brought out at Fargo few days ago
as result Of Carroll's arrest on a
charge Of abduction, which was pro-
ofilcials.
About four weeks ago Carroll and
the Pierce girl are claimed to have
come to this city from Fargo. The
girl, 1t was said at that time, was
some relative. of Carroll's, or at least
this was the story told the police. The
oflcials, however, refused to believe
this version of the affair and after q
short investigation, Carroll left the
city. The next day the Pierce girl
was sent to her home in Fargo as q
result of inquiries sent out by the
police Of that city.
A warrant was then issued for Car
roll by the Cass county officials,
charging Carroll with abduction and
about week since, he was captured.
After being held in the Cass county
Jail a couple of days, he was releas-
ed as a result of the provision of a
rusty North Dakota law, which was
unearthed by his attorneys. The local
oficials then swore out warrant
charging rape and Carroll was ar
rested on that Sunday afternoon.
Deputy Sheriff johnson, on his re-
turn from Minot this evening, will
leave for Fargo to secure Carroll.
