crate as cheap1y. 1 understand that the
superintendent designed the plant and
carried out its construction. This
speaks for itself. If a man like that
could be had here we could make a
success of it, too. They probably spent
more money than they had need to on
their building with an elaborate recep-
ton room, offices and it's baths but
they found they had some money left

a nice building. They have plenty of
room for additional motors, for twice
as many as they now have. We have
a hard proposition confronting US here

furnish it's lights. A great many peo-
pie however are pleased with the idea

costs just as much"

'They have a great plant and an ex-
ceptional superintendent. I wish we
could get him down here. He has ev-
erything figured out and every detail
of cost for operation is accounted for
in reports filed; no matter what it is.
If one of the lamps doesn't burn for 30
minutes that is accounted for and the
failure is noted in the report at the

out of the number of hours burned.

BANKERS HERE.
Are Discussing Plan for Com
pany to Insure Deposits.
May Organize One With a Mil
lion Dollars Capital.

The organization of a 81, 900, 900 insur-
ance company by Kansas bankers to
insure depositors against loss is what
majority Of the mem bers of the Kan
sas Bankers association who are in
session here today want.
VIII the present insurance laws per-
nit it?
Aye that's the question. To answer
that question it is probable that a COM
mfttee will be appointed from among
the members of the association this
evening which will be instructed to Sc
cure legal counsel as to the legality
of the organization of such an insur-
ance company as they desire.
j. w. Bergman, president Of the as
ISOLATION and a banker from Ashland,
said: "A million dollar company such
as is desired would be good thing.
The, tenor of the remarks made indi-
cate that the association is in favor of
appointing a committee which shall be
empowered to see If we can organize
such a company under the state laws.
The talk seems to be in favor of an
INSURANCE company with a capital stock
Of about 100000 provided we can find
the law as we want 1t. The governor
vetoed our guaranty bill, the one that
We wanted. The best that we can do
then is to try to use the present laws.
In the insurance company every bank
would take out stock; it would not be
mutual company, but stock COM
pany.
with such an insurance company of
bankers, with our own examiners there
would be no failure, we would be in a
position to absolutely insure deposits
and depositors against loss. The gov
eminent reports show that during the
past A years the number of failures
would be amply covered by an assess
ment one twenty-five of 1 per cent of
the deposits held by the banks of this
country
1.-THE guaranty deposit law as it is in
Oklahoma may be all right for ten or
all right for that length Of time but
just as sure as can be a disastrous fall
ure is going to overtake them.
How many banks will take advan-
tage Of the company? Oh don't know;
1t would be just guessing.
Amy talk of a special session to enact
a guaranty law? No, sir, and we don't
want any. We don't care for anything
of that kind. Nothing could happen
more disastrous to the state than such
a thing"
Some thirty bankers are in session
including J. w. Bergman, Ashland,
president; VIM. Peck, Concordia, vice
president; W. w. Bowman, Topeka,
Mclean. Wellington; VIM. Docking.

QUIT TWO DAYS.
Santa Fe Shops Will Be Idle
Friday and Saturday.
Will Resume Work However on
Monday.

When the men employed in the
Santa Fe shops quit work tonight they
will be Informed that they will not be
required to return to work until next
Monday. Yesterday 200 men were laid
off temporarily and during the rest of
the week the remainder will be laid
off.
These orders come to the local Off
Gals very suddenly and unknown to
the heads of the different departments
in Topeka 1t is thought that the or
ders emanate from the east.
The shops have but little work to
be done at the present time and in
order to save money these steps are
taken. Similar orders will be issued
to other shops along the Santa Fee.

submitted today to the commission of
national defense of the duma the

and includes not only the construction
of a fleet of battleships but also a Ger
tain amount of photographic work at
several of the ports of Russia. The
expenditures involved amount to 81

the $43,500,0 600 already included in the
budget of 1908 for the laying down
of foir new batt1eships to a maximum
of $12,000.000 in the year 1914.

hardships and inconvenience that
have been endured TO accomplish
what has been achieved. The success
of these two institutions has been mar
velous when all things are taken into
consideration, and in my discussions
of our "Denominational Printing

cost in expenditures of money and
sacrifices on the part of all who have
been concerned.

CHAPTER l.

In a preceding article | stated thai
in this issue of the Monitor | would
talk to you about the printing inter
ests of our Church, and would endeav
or to point out to you some of the him
ORANGES that stand in the way and re-
tard our progress in the dissemination
of truth to the hundreds of thousands
of eager ears all over this country
and in other countries that are open
daily listening for words of enlight-
ment that they feel should be sent
forth by the sons of Allen.
The fathers of the African Method
list Episcopal Church realized from
the beginning, no doubt, that. the fos-
tering of church work effectively de-
pended largely upon the printing
house, and they will never, perhaps,
be given the credit due them for what
they have accomplished. Neverthe-
less, they have held on, and for over
fifty years have conducted printing
house in some form. The losses have
been great, and at times it has no
doubt appeared that it would be i'm
possible to keep the doors open, but
the BOOK concern OF Jne "A. M. ".
Church is still reality in some shape,
form or fashion.
The perpetuation of the church de-
manded and still demands, and more
so now than ever, that a printing
house be maintained 1t might well
be said that from a material point of
view, the UNCONVENTIONAL printing
press is the hub of the church, and it
is an undeniable fact that religious
societies the world over have pros.
pered in proportion to the efficiency
of their publishing concerns.
The church printing houses have al
ways taken the lead in spreading truth
to the masses, and the day was when
they were largely looked to for every
thing that amounted to much in the
way of books, magazines and news
papers. 1t is also true in this day that
the only printing concerns conducted
by Negroes that have reached posi-
lions of responsibility are those fos-
tered by the religious denominations.
This is due to the fact that the de-
mand for religious books, magazines
AID newspapers is greater among our

of the Monitor.

"This is my authority. DR.. Solomon
and Prof. Johnson were men of strong
character and ability. I can rely on
what they say. They spent so many
and so many years searching out this
or that, and were recognized by the
world as among the foremost writer's
of their day"
want to impress upon your minds
one fact, and that is, it takes many
years to reach this degree of promi-
nence in the art of printing to be
able to cope with the leaders in this
race to create the sentiment of the
world, but l hold that the A. M. E.
Church, by virtue of seniority, ought to
be expected to take the lead in this
race so far as the American Negro
is concerned. Is there anything in
the way to impede her progress? |
contend that there is. What are these
hindrances, and is there a remedy? |
will endeavor to point them out to
you between now and the first Mon
day in May, in order that when we
meet in Norfolk we may be acquainted
with the facts.
Suppose | draw in your mind an
imaginary map on which you can To-
cate the departments of our church
that require an amount of printing
to warrant consideration We will
start with the oldest in the connec-
tion which is the Book Concern in
Philadelphia, Pa in the eastern part
of our country, and far removed from
a large majority of the membership
of the Church Not one in a thou
sand have ever seen it. Next, we will
mention the Foreign Mission depart
ment, located in New York City, far
Their still from a central point. Then
we have the Allen Christian Endeav-
or Department, located in Jackson
vile, Fla Next, fix in your mind the
Southern Christian Recorder, located
in Columbus, Ga, and, fifth, the giant
printing house in the connection, the
A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union,
located in Nashville Tenn. These
five departments use the bulk of the
printing that is to be done for the
Church. Draw your map we'll and
study it carefully. Fix the distance
between these departments You say
they are all independent So is every
state in the Union, but each one is rem
