In Memory of Mr.. Ed. Benson.

Annapolis has lost one of her
best citizens in the passing of Ed.
p. Benson, whose death was
recorded in the Annapolis items
last week. He was a good citizen
in that whatever was for the pub
lie welfare, directly concerned
him. His interest in the public
school and children generally was
one of his best characteristics.
He rendered conscientious service
as a school director many years,
and ncn visited the school more
regularly or c~o-operated with the
teachers more heartily than he.
His generosity was not of the kind
that flaunts its name in big letters
at the head of a subscription paper.
He followed the scriptural injunc-
ton, "Let not thy left hand know
what thy right hand doeth." | re-
member when a widow who was
supporting her three children re-
turned home one day to find a
load of wood in her yard. She
afterwards learned that the donor
was this friend and neighbor, who
has just left US. And we do not
forget the barrels of apples carried
to the Christmas trees and dis
tributed that everyone might have
some Christmas cheer. These are
homely virtues, but we meet them
all too seldom. His hospitality
and that of his wife, who is left to
mourn his loss, was unbounded

Pertinent Comment.

New York World,
Through sworn testimony taken in
court, in legislative and Congressional
Investigations and in other proceedings
the sugar trust is shown to have been
guilty Of;
/. Bribing political committees of
both parties
2. Seeking to influence United States
Senator'S by stock tips and other fnan-
cial transactions.
8. Accepting rebates in violation of
the interstate commerce law.
4. Stealing from the United States
government through weighing frauds.
5. Conspiring to ruin Independent
sugar refners.
6. Violating persistently the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Z. Using short-weight scales.
8. Blacklisting grocers who handled
independent sugar.
8. Importing cheap contract labor.
TO- Violating factory and health laws.
No high official was ever criminally
prosecuted or convicted for any of these
ofenses. The only indictments ever
found against any Of them were re-
turned recently by grand jury after
the trust had confessed in open court
that it had violated the Sherman law.
The relations of the trust to the gov
eminent have long been intimate and
and intricate. It's activities in Congress
have rightly been described as scan
dial. The reasons for its long and profit
able immunity have never been ex-
| planned. What better work for the puri-
! ication Of government and commerce
could Congressional committee per-
form than to clear up this extraordinary
mystery

Bank Directors and their Responsibilities.
Chicago RecordHerald.
Comptroller of the Currency Murray
believes that if every director Of every
national bank in the country kept him
self posted ON the discounts of his bank,
so that he knew personally the genuine
ness Of the paper and the security be-
hind it. there would be few failures
among national banks. He has succeed
ed as the result of his efforts extending
over a year to bringing the number of
banks which have directors meetings
at least monthly for the purposes up to
A, 500 in total Of 1000. The remaining
2, 500 banks have been slow to see the
force Of the comptroller's advice, and
now he has 10 send them express orders
to amend their bylaws
There are few city banks now which
are neglected by their directors. The
trouble comes in the country town
where the bank officers are SO closely
identified with the bank as an institu-
tion in the public mind that the direct
ors regard their own functions as merely
ornamental, and are content to allow
the business to be handled without their
personal intervention except on the two
days of a year when dividends are de-
clared. Where such a condition exists
the directors usually prefer gaining the
displeasure Of the comptroller to even
so much as taking on the appearance Of /
aggressiveness toward the bank officers. /
Comptroller Murray is, therefore
fully justified in pushing his programme
vigorous against all banks which have
failed to accept it thus far 1t is the
only way in which he can bring about
the established habit Of watehfulness
which is needed.
