PANICS AND BANK FAILURES.

If you will stop to think about it,
you will readily see that the cause of
bank failures lies in the timidity of
depositors, who institute a run on a
bank and thereby compel the bank to
pay out its available cash faster than
it can collect The bank is thus forced
to collect on it's notes and this enforced
collection, besides working a hardship
on the debtor, results in valuable Sc
curities being sacrificed.
1t is patent, therefore, that if depos-
itors did not get scared and rush to
the bank for their money on the slight
est suspicion of a storm cloud in the
financial sky, there would be no such
things as bank failures.
There is more than one plan of keep
ing depositors from getting scared
one of these is for the cashier of a
bank to display near his window a
pile of gold and near gold which i'm
mediately becomes actual. living evil
dence of the banks solvency. Another
plan is for the cashier to rub his hands
In a patronizing way and assure his
timid depositor that everything is all
right. A third plan, one which was ex-
tensiVely tried last fall, is for the
cashier to assure cashiers checks
payable in other cashiers
checks. These plans have all
been tried with varying degrees of
success. But in spite of any of them
or all of them once in a while we see
that this bank and that bank is forced
to close its doors.
Thus far, no valid argument has
been presented against the democratic
plan of insuring bank deposits. The
plan is simply for the bank to paw a
small tax on its deposits. The plan is
simply for the bank to pay small tax
on its deposits, this tax to be taken
charge of by the United States govern
ment and be converted into a fund to
pay off the depositors of any bank
which is forced to suspend.

oank does not pay its depositors any

Not Wilkins But Stevens.

A statement was issued today by en-
ployes of the Walla Walla Valley
Traction company that the young wo-
man who according to one of the local
papers was seriously injured by at
tempting to board an interurban car
Saturday night was not Miss Henrietta
Bollard but Miss L. Ireland. The mo-
torman on the car was not William
wilkins but was c.. E. Stevens. Mr..
Wilkins was not on the car at the
time and knew nothing of the affair
until reading of it in a newspaper.
Ben Wolff was the conductor in charge.
That the woman was not seriously in
jured is shown by the fact that she
boarded the cars and went on to her
destination.

Where Soldiers Mus. Swim.

In the Dutch army a man must
be able to swim as well as to fight.
Moreover, if he is in the cavalry he
must have horse which will take a
river as easily as hunter takes a
fence. Swimming maneuyers are
part of the regular drill there. Col
lapsiblc canvas boats manned by q
few oarsmen Lead the horses so that
they do not attempt to land on
stone quayss and other difficult
points. The men swim across with
their horses and on them. They do
it in swimming costume and in all
the aecouterments Of war. There
are few nautical emergencies in
which the Dutch army Is not pre-
pared. Some Of the officers have
even reached a degree Of proficiency
that not only their horses and Xii
cross the. river with them, but their
pet dogs sit upon their shoulders
and are borne over almost withou;
getting wet.-Siray Stories.

UP IN A BALLOON.
The Exhilaration That Comes With q
Trip Through the Air.

y -
Floating softly mp into the blue
ocean Of air. watching the earth
sink slowly away beneath US and
fade and change quietly to an i'm
mense map spread before our won
dering eyes--slch are the first i'm
preSsions of balloon voyagers. The
noisy shouts of those who come to
wish us ''Ron voyage" become
fainter and fainter until absolute
quiet reigns about us. 1t is so still
that the ticking Of the clock in the
Paragraph is heard noisily counting
the seconds as it traces the line of
orr upward fight across the sheet.
Meanwhile the earth map down
below Us stretches out larger and
larger, but its details are fading
and becoming blurred. High hills
have changed to fat surfaces. A
river winds and bends its way
through the duller colors like tan
gled ribbon of silver. 4 small lake
sparkIes in the sunshine, giving life
and fire to the sober shades about
it. A railway train creeps slowly
along, its trail Of smoke streaming
back over it. But as We look it sud !,
denly disappears from sight, ap
parently swallowed up before our
eyes. Then we realize that it has
plunged into the tunnel through a
hill which to us seems only a fiat
surface. Now it appears again,
coming out on the other side.
So the wonderful scenes come and
60, ever changing, but ever grand
and inspiring--scenes that come
back to us real and vivid. that we
may live them over again in later
days. The cloud effects are at times
the most beautiful Of all. After hav-
ing sailed up through these into the
dazzling sunlight we see the snowy
pillows Just below our car, the shad-
ow of our balloon falling upon their
white surface. This shadow Is often
surrounded BY n halo of rainbow
eolors of rare beauty. At such
times one has the feeling Of having
left the earth completely and to
have - reached some other planet.
The white masses just below seem
TO be quite solid ard look as though
one might step cut of the balloon
and take stroll over them If one
only had snowshoes. The air is
wonderfully clear and pure and
gives one feeling of exhilaration
much greater than that enjoycd in
mountain eIimbing.--deny 3. Her
