cusses Plans for Next Year

cusses Plans tor Next Year.
Ames, Oct. 9.-At the annual meet
ing of the Ames Chautauqua Associa-
ton it was shown that the organization
was practically the only assembly in
Iowa the past year which had closed
it's business with a surplus. Only one
other association had come out ahead
and this was only done by introduce
ing such freaks as Carrie Nation,
which, as Dr. Fowle expressed it,
helped to pay the expenses of the
brains which had been secured. The
association was determined to MAIN
tain the high standard and not to re-
sort to the Introduction of such events
las would lower the chautauqua stand
ard.
The question of starting operations
for the constructions of an auditorium
was brought up and discussed. The
stockholders were unanimous in the
belief that this auditorium should be
built for next years assembly. The
question of which organization should
take the lead in this enterprise, the
chautauqua association or the Maxwell
Park Company, was discussed. Stock
holders of both organizations desired
to have an understanding reached
whereby if such an auditorium should
be constructed, the chautauqua assoc
citation, if it should take the lead,
would be protected.

OKLAHOMA'S ExAMPl E.

The Oklahoma bank deposit guaran-
tee plan gets strenuous test early
in it's history. A bank failed there
the other day for the reason which,
under the plan, should be hardly un-
expected, that of excessive and reck-
less loans. Its deposits are 81 900 900.
The state guarantee fund is $500, 900.
The state has arranged for paying
out the entire fund in it's hands and
is going to make assessments on the
banks in the guarantee plan for the
balance.
This is acceptable to the depositors,
provided the assessments are all col
lected and more banks do not fail be-
fore the guarantee fund is recouped.
But the assessed bankers show signs
OF restiveness. They do not relish
having to pay for the losses by the
reckless banking of their competitors.
They find that it makes serious hole
in the profits of conservative aud safe
banking. So that there is a decided
those who have to pay the piper.
That is, beyond doubt, the weak
point of joint guarantees of deposits.
The diffusion Of responsibility lessons
the individual incentive to sound
methods. If one banker seeks the
quick profits Of excessive loans those
who are yOked with him in the guar
antee are tempted to do the same
thing. Wherefore Oklahoma may
count itself fortunate if the exempli-
tcation Of the scheme is limited to
one bank failure.
1t may be remarked further that it
is difficult to show why the same in
tiuences would not be at work in Joint
guarantees of bank circulation based
on commercial paper.

now CENSUS WILL BE TAKEN.

The 1910 census of the United States
will be tahulated by ''puncl cards."
Everybody in the land will be given
one of these cards, on which the race,
age, birthplace, birthplace of parents,
and similar personal data will be in
dictated by the punching of appropri-
ate holes by the ennmerator. says the
Meagher County Republican,. 1t will
not take the census bureau long to
tabulate and compile these into
groups, for by improved machinery
the process is made simple. The
number OF persons possessing each
specific characteristics or cOmbina-
tion Of characteristics which it is
desired to show in the principal
tables, will be counted by means of
electrical tabulation machinery, cleo
trical contracts being made through
the holes punched in the cards.
The punching machines which will
be used in this census differ from
those used heretofore. They will not
only increase the rapidity Of the
work, but will reduce the errors of
CLERKS in punching. With the old
machines, no holes are punched in
the card until the keys for all the
facts to be punched have been set and
if the operator errs by depressing the
wrong key he can easily and quickly
make the correction before the card
is punched.
Although the position is not partic-
ularly inviting, the census bureau
anticipates no difficulty in securing
the d5,MN enumerators who will take
the census Those in the cities will
be employed for only about fifteen
DAYS at So Il day and in the country
for thirty days for Il tritle more. The
period is thus too short to justify Il
man who has good position to be-
come an enumerator. while it is also
too long in most eases to enable men
to- obtain leave of absence from their
work to help Uncle Sam count the
people.

TALKED TOO MUCH.

The diplomatic career of Charles II.
Crane terminated before it began.
Mr.. Crane, in retiring to private life,
can indicate the cause of his official
demise by the soliloquy of the tabled
parrot.
This is made plain by the official
statement accompanying the accept
ance OF his resignation. In private
conference with Secretary Knox, Mr..
Crane was informed that the state de-
p%rtment was studying the Chinese
japanese agreement concerning the
Manchurian railway with view to
the question whether American inter-
ests were affected. This private and
official information Mr.. Crane i'm
parted tOa newspaperfriend Whether
it was the minister or the newspaper
man who expanded this otherwise
bald and uninteresting narrative into
an assertion that the state department
is preparing protest against that
agreement may not be absolutely es-
tablished; but Mr.. Crane acknow-
Lodges responsibility for the whole
thing, submits his resignation and
will return to the business pursuits
which he prosecutes and adorns.
Probably this outcome though mo-
mentarily unsatisfactory, is just as
well both for Mr.. Crane and the gov
eminent. 1t had become evident in
other respects that his habits of
speech and thought are not suited to
the restrained methods of diplomacy,
where, according to Talleyrand's au-
thoritive epigram. language is given
us to conceal thoughts. We may
think none the less Of him for that,
but it certainly suggests doubt
whether he is qualified to advance the
interests of the United States as a
diplomatist, particularly in the formal
and precise etiquet of oriental courts.
1t is hardly possible to avoid the re-
Election which this episode suggests as
to the policy of selecting business
men for diplomatic posts. The Amer
lean business man is by no means
sure to be diplomatic, and there is
even less assurance of his thorough
knowledge or the issue of methods of
world politics. Certainly the policy
announced in the last administration
and adhered to for some time is Il SUI
perior one. That is to promote to the
higher posts those whose service in
lower positions affords a guarantee of
both their ability and experience.

Tie Talked Too Mach.
From the Missoulia,,:

From the Missouliau:
Yesterday word was sent to Charles
K. Crane that his resignation would
be acceptable. This action of Secre-
tary of State Knox means that the
United States is to have new min
lister to China, and it is to be taken
for granted that he will be a close
mouthed person, diplomat without
words. Minister Crane is not the first
man to lose his political head by talk
ing too much, and while the average
person cannot see just where this
statement he is supposed to have
made in Chicago could have raised
such a disturbance, the average per.
son does not appreciate fully the finer
points OF diplomacy, or the laws that
regulate the intercourse Of nations.
Mr.. Crane evidently, has never heard
