The Money In the Bank.

It is usually a combination Of ig-
norance and fear which causes a run
on banks during commercial panic.
Savings bank depositors are apt to
be blind to the fact that their money
cannot be kept on hand ready to be
paid out at any moment, except enough
Of it to meet current demands, which
will ordinarily be provided for from
current receipts. 1t must be invested
in interest bearing securities or In real
estate loans so as to bring in the reve-
nue. from which interest is paid to de-
positors. If they make sudden dash
in great numbers for their money their
bank will not have enough on hand,
and the balance it keeps on deposit In
other banks for emergencies will not
be sufficient to meet prolonged run.
1t must have time to realize upon Sc
curities by selling them and upon loans
by their maturity. and in this there
may be needless loss for the depositors
pend or require its depositors to give
it time by giving notice of Withdrawals
it is not necessarily sign of weak
ness, but may be due to the blind
selfishness and ignorance of those who
are clamoring for their deposits with
out reason.
1t is much the same with the Or
binary depositors in commercial banks,
many of whom nowadays, especially
in cities, are small traders and women
householders. They do not realize that
their money is not always in the bank
waiting for them whenever they are
pleased to call for it. Most of it must
be out working for the bank, invested
in commercial paper or loans on securi-
ty which takes time to mature. 1t Is
going out and coming in with a greater
or less increment all the time, and only
a portion is kept on hand in cash,
rarely more than a quarter the amount
on deposit at any time. All the de-
posits are subject to demand, but it is
ordinarily expected that the demand
actually made for paying out from day
to day will not exceed the amount that
is coming In in payments to the bank.
The reserve is lying idle to meet ex-
ceptional demands, but the law re-
quires it to be kept up even when such
demands are made.
Recently a young business woman
caught in a check forging case offered
the excuse that she supposed that the
money in the bank belonged to any
body who knew how to get it out. This
is an exaggerated view, but the anna
teu- depositor often acts upon the theo-
~ that the bank has his or her money
in its vaults and must cash up on de-
mand. Too many depositors of that
kind may give the strongest bank In
the land ''hlack" day.

WENATCHEE-A CITY OF Gull
TURF

In another column OF this news
paper is an extract from letter from
a Wenatchee student, who is now in
attendance at the state university,
and which, on account of the suggeS-
ton therein contained, is has been
deemed wise to publish, notwith-
standing the fact that the letter is 4
personal one.
Wenatchee-a city of culture! AL
ready she has made her reputation
as the home of the Big Red Apple.
Is it not time to turn little more
attention to the things which count
for far more than mere products of
the soil After all, is it not the hui
far more than even Apples of Gold"
Wenatchee needs more men who
live above the clouds in public acts
and in private thinking"
The past year has seen some
changes in Wenatchee in more ways
than one. Aside from the growth
and development of her resources,
there has been a development along
the lines of the ethical and moral.
The coming year ought to see more
of it. BY the end of the present
year Wenatchee should have a fine
public library as has been suggested
by Mayor Gellatly in his message to
the council. 1t ought to see increas-
ed interest along the lines Of the ed
ucation of the young.
And in a moral way it ought to
see the casting out of those ulcerous
cancers whose influence has been
communicating the youth of the city.
In their place there should be more
attention to public Fairgrounds and
gymnasiums.
And as a result of which in twenty
years from today Wenatchee will
will have a citizenship over which
she will have reason to feel far more
proud than over her big bridge, her
irrigated lands or her Big Red
Apples.

REAL ESTATE IN BABYLON.
olckcrIne Was Keen 5000 Years Ago,
Eugene Ware Says.

Kansas City, Mo.-That among tho
lncient Babylonians, 5000 years -. c.,
here were lawyers OF rare ability,
'eal estate men of more than ordinary
'hrewdness in driving and clinching a
bargain, and craftsmen with great in
senuity and pride in their work. is the
opinion of Eugene +. Ware, lawyer
poet and "Kansan."
In an address before the real estate
men Of Kansas City some time ago.
Nr. Ware made the statement that as
ong as 5000 years ago men we're deal
ng In real estate, and that those men
we're as energetic traders and as keen
N their transactions as the real es-
ate dealers of to-day.
Mr.. Ware explained the result Of his
esearch into the history of the Baby
onians which has caused him to form
his opinion. While travelling in Eu-
'ope several years ago he came upon

sound common sense. The result is
that they think the logic they hear is
a heap better than it really is, because
they expected something so much diff
ferent.
Two years ago, when beat Dave
Rose for mayor of Milwaukee, was
called the boy candidate, and even
my friends thought l was a fool to
enter the race. They first told me !
couldn't get the nomination, but l
fooled them, and then won at the
election. People came to hear me
because my motto was The Young
Man in Politics, and they went away
having heard nothing more sensation
al than any other campaigner would
give them"
That in brief, is the system under
which Milwaukee's boy Mayor works
his campaigns. He turned from a
cotillon leader to supervisor, and in
the county board he exposed a print
ing graft and saved the county $35 900
a year. He then decided 70 run for
alderman, and his friends laughed at
him. He was elected and made such
a record that he was able to run for
mayor and win that, too.
His famous coffee automobile did
much to help him in the city cam
paign. When he was alderman he had
one of his automobiles fitted up with
a huge coffee pot, which he could start
a-boiling when there was a fire, and
the coffee would be hot when he
reached the scene OF the connagra-
tion. Whenever there was big fire
he was notified and a quick hitch
harness for a runabout, which he had
at first adopted, was soon supplanted
by the autmobile.
In his city campaign he started
series of smokers, furnishing corncob
pipes and tobacco, and when he ad-
dressed a meeting he would, instead
Of standing ON the platform, sit among
the listeners and talk conversational
ly. This won votes and he proposes
TO adopt the same tactics when he
runs for governor.
AT Chicago recently he decided upon
the balloon means OF reaching the
country districts. He met G. A. Coey,
an enthusiastic automobilist and aero
naut. and arranged his plan for bal
loon campaign almost instantly.

Vim. Bramhsm Ted Whisky Fight in
Durham.

The follow ing is clipped from
The Durham Sun, Durham, N.
c., and shows what they think
of our old citizens.
Never has there been such an
election before as the one yester
day. Durham voted for some
thing she will not get, and. the
voice of the majority will have
no more effect upon the present
status of affairs than if she had
not spoken. Durham sat down
on the prohibition bill in an EN-.
phatic manner. The county
giving a majority of 627 against
the bill is one of the surprises
that greeted the prohibitionists
this morning, and they opened
their eyes in establishment. The
drys only carried four precincts
out of twenty. three.
Mr.. Bramham's friends are
congratulating him this morning
upon his splendid work as man
ager of the Anti Prohibition
campaign in this county. 1t is
a remarkable fact that he was
the manager for four or five 9TH
er counties, and they went wet
also. This is a considerable
feather in his cap as a campaign
manager. He had the odds
against him when he went in,
and was subjected to great
deal of ridicule and sarcasum,
and other slings, but he thrived
on 1t, and it had no more effect
on HIM than pouring water on a
Moscovia ducks back. Que
thing can be said to his credit.
He conducted one of the clean
est campaigns for his side, that
has ever been waged IN this
State. There was no abuse of
any one, but he made lone tell
ing specifics that dealt in facts
and figures that could not be
successfully controverted.
His bitterest enemies can but
admire his nerve, holiness, con
servativeness and the success
that has attended his labors,
whether they agree with him or
not He made a hard fght-and
won out against his opponents in
the counties of which he had
charge.

IN Paris. The tablets are specimens
uncovered by excavators who were
searching for records of the ancient
Babylonians. Several thousands of
them have been found in the city Of
Nippur, capital of the ancient Baby
lonian state of that name. Nippur
was one of the largest cities OF
Babylonia. situated on the banks of
canal connecting the Tigris and En-
pirates rivers. The city was famous
as the seat Of worship of the god Bel,
chief deity of the Babylonian pan
theon.
A tablet owned by Mr.. Ware is a re-
plea of one in the Louvre. II resem-
bles nothing so much as a cake of tot
let soap. In color II is pure white and
is covered with letters Of the cunei-
form alphabet The Babylonians used
tablets similar TO the one owned by
Mr.. Ware for all their writing, and on
these recorded deeds, leases and other
real estate transactions. The tablets
we're made OF white clay very much
like that used by modern sculptors.
They varied In size from specimens as
small as pea to others the size OF a
bushel basket. They we're made by
men who probably occupied the same
position IN the Babylonian business
world as our modern stenographers
do. A lawyer would go to one OF
these scriveners on the street corners,
dictate his brief to him and the
"stenographer in clay" would write on
the tablet with three-cornered stick.
The tablet was then baked In a char
coal oven and was ready for use. The
writing on the tablets was first trans
lated by Sir Henry Rawlinson in
1854.
The tablet owned by Mr.. Ware re-
cords a transaction between a jeweler
and a real estate man. The real es-
tate man purchased gold ring with
