The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1909-09-16

The newspapers Of the state are
showing a very kindly disposition to-
ward the corn palace enterprise of
the city,. and it is in keeping with
the generous attitude of other years.
The fact that Mitchell puts up a show
of great merit, employing the best
talent in the country with which to
entertain the people and making good
in all other respects prompts the
newspapers to give it a liberal sup
port. A city that assumes the risk
and responsibility of engaging the
United States Marine Band at a very
large figure and offers large prizes
for county exhibits to advertise South
Dakota is entitled to receive the sup
port that has always been accorded it
in years past and the indications are
this year that Mitchell is going
to entertain more people than
ever before. So many will desire to
hear the Marine band, knowing that
1t is but once in a lifetime that such
an organization is brought out to the
west. The corn palace will be held
September 81, to October 2, and
Mitchell's gates will be wide open.

Willing To Take a Chance

did you tell him to see me?"
Daughter-"Yes, mama; and he
said he'd seen you several times, but
he wanted to marry me just the
same."-The Sphinx.

Commodore Peary takes issue with
DR.. Cook on the discovery of the
north pole. He asserts that Cook
did not reach the pole, and that he
was never out sight of land. He
questioned the two Eskimos who
accompanied Cook on his expedition,
and they said, according to Perry,
that Cook did not get anywhere
e a the pole. Peary evidently pro-
poses to be the sole discoverer of
the north pole, and the controversy
over the original discovarer is going
to be something fierce. On the face
of the matter it looks a good deal
like Peary mad been beaten out in
his race for the pole and that he pro-
poses to rely upon his friendship
among the scientists to help him out.
The statement of Cook has been too
generally accepted by several foreign
nations to accept Peary's statement
without some proof on his part. The
friends of Cook are not going to yield
the prestige he has secured by his
discovery Of the pole simply because
peary comes back and says that he
is the only and sole discovered. To
the average person the claim Of
Peary seems rather unjust and to
make it in the face Of Cooks an
nouncement does not appear to be 9
square deal. However, it will all
be threshed over later, as to who is
the artic d~iscoverer.

THE DUTIES

The force of men under the direct
ion Of j. L.. Jones, as state bank ex-
aminer, has been increased to do the
additional duties that are prescribed
under the new state banking law.
The force is now composed of j. l..
Wingfeld, of this city, deputy, j. X.
Cornelyson, c. A. Fountain, F. A.
Dudley. We're H. Masters. Mr.. Wing
field recently resigned from his posi-
ton of private secretary to Governor
Wesley, having held it since tue gov
ernor's installation in Office.
Under the amended law passed by
the last legislature, and the large in
crease in the state banking hnsiEess
in the state, the work of the public
examiners Office has been greatly in
creased. The new law requires Eve
calls a year of the financial CON-
ton of the banks to be reported tc
the public examiners Office. Directors
are also required to make two reports
q yOdxS SllOWxA6 EOOAuASAOA vi Ia
value of assets, dividends paid etc.
Heretofore four regular calls were
required. The department is also re-
quired to make two regular examina-
tions of each bank in the state an
nually, besides special examinations
when found necessary.
The examiners are constantly en-
gagged in the work of the department
throughout the state and the public
examiner and his deputy will be fire.
quently called upon to perform work
in the same line on occasions Of i'm
portance. MI. Wingfeld was for sew
eral years connected with the state
banking department as examiner pre-
vious to taking the position Of pri-
vate secretary to the governor, and
of course is we'll qualified for the
work to which he has been assign
ed as deputy to the head of the de-
partment.
The state banking department is
one Of the very most important in
the state so far as the people are di-
rectly concerned. 1t has come to be
the custom of the people, farmers as
we'll as business men, to patronize
the banks more extensively than in
the past and the custom Is constant
ly growing. Money Of the people, for
operative purposes and savings, is
now almost wholly contained in the
banks, and it is the business of the
state banking department to guard
this money and see that it is return
ed to the people who have had the
confidence to deposit it in tho banks.
