WEYLER IN DEMAND.

! The war n Morocco has assumed the
most brutal phases of savagery and
/ the rumored report of General Wey-
! lers appointment to supreme COM
mand of the Spanish forces in Africa
| indicate that all impulses of HUMANE
ty will be disregarded in contending
with the refractory Moors. Weyler
seems to be SPANS last resource when
it comes to dealing with stubborn
foe. During the final rebellion in Gu
ba against Spanish domination Weyler
made an international reputation as a
butcher, and his cruelty to prisoners
and the innocent families of Cuban
patriots shocked civilization and con-
tributed to the flame of resentment
which eliminated in American inter
vention.
In many of its aspects the present
war in Morocco is reversion to me-
dieval barbarism. 1t is an anachron-
ism that in this enlightened age of the
world bitter religious war should
rage between fanatics and Christians
and that such a war should be ac-
companied by such hideous cruelties
as TO make mankind shudder The con-
test between Spain ard the Moors has
ragged internationally for centuries, fed
by the heat of irreconcilable religious
differences. Always the warfare be-
tween the hot blooded Spaniards and
the desperate MoOrs has been element
ally barbaric, and perhaps no armed
conflict of modern times has been more
devoid of adherence to the rules of
civilized warfare than this.
In the game of reprisals in cruelty
General Weyler will prove a valuable
gallantry commonly attributed to great
military men. He delights in torture
and oppression, and he will now have
full opportunity to steep his malignant
soul in accommodating horrors. Spain
may claim with some justification that
in a conflict with Savages the war
must take on the character of saw
agery. When the Moors tortured many
Spanish prisoners with unspeakable
fendishness within sight of the Span
ish soldiers it was time to call Weyler
This was his sort of warfare. Of
course, Spanish authority will not be
officially given to any measures of re-
taliation taken by army officers and
the benign face of the old Cuban
butcher will smile negation when asked
if the Spaniards will war with heather
according to their own methods. In its
softest aspects war is never lacking in
horror, and there is every. reason to
believe that the present campaign in
Morocco will grow more and more re-
voting as the days pass.

in thus calmly facing a crisis calcu-
lated to test their strength and prove
their soundness.
The matter of state legislation with
respect to banks and the business of
banking is of nearly equal importance
and should not escape attention. 1t
would seem that much good might be
accomplished by systematic coopera-
ton with State Bankers associations.
1t is singular fact that the delusions
which have found expression in the
passage of state laws compelling all
good. sound and carefully conducted
banks OF guarantee the mistakes or
frauds of bad and recklessly managed
ones, do not seem to take root nor to
flourish in industrial and financial GEN.
tiers so much as in those sections where
less relative use is made of banks; and
curiously enough these delusions seem
to possess classes who never have been
richer or more prosperous than they
are now. If this suggests anything it
is the fact that these are the sections
where the greatest amount of eduGa-
ional work must be done. Such laws
are the natural outgrowth OF the un-
sound doctrines taught in those Sec
tions in the past. 1t may require ten,
twenty or thirty years to undo this
harm but it is not to be doubted in he
long run that we shall have a national
system which will protect us against
disastrous panics and currency fam
wholesome state banking laws DrOvid-
ing abundant regulation (Which after
all is the best safeguard), and That nm
der these laws there shall flourish q
system of banks as safe and as ell
GENTLY managed as any in the world.
But we cannot hope for sa precious a
possession without labor, cooperation
and patient effort on our part.
Again you are assured that it is d
pleasure to extend each of you 2 cor
dial welcome to Chicago, and you are
invited to visit our banking institutions
and to become acquainted with ouT
bankers

Response by Lowry.

Response by Lowry.
Co'onel Robert L. Lowry, president
of the Lowry National Bank of Tt
lanta. and ex-president of the Ameri-
can Bankers association, made res
ponse as follows:
Your Excelleucy. the Governor of
the Great Commonwealth of Illinois,
to you, Mr. Talbert, the distinguished
president of your association of Clear
ing House banks, to His Honor. the
president of the American Bankers
association, ladies and gentlemen:
you have most attractive program
before you this morning. l am frank
to say, however, that | greatly appre
ciate the honor of being selected to
acknowledge your beautiful cOurte
sizes. and to thank you for the royal
welcome you have given us. This is
a city renowned for the prodig atty of
it's welcome and entertainment a city
that does nothing by halves, a city
that extends the right hand of fellow
ship and the optimistic word of good
cheer and gOdspeed to all American
citizens. no matter what state in the
galaxy of this Union they may call
home
tn t1i< n
ourselves any great amount of ches-
ty pride, however. upon receiving your
warm welcome for we know it is for
the cause that we represent that we
are the recipients of your courtesy.
This is a great association. number
ing some 1000 banks among its
membership, and representing assets
of many billions of dollars 1t has
been my privilege and pleasure to
watch it's phenomenal growth from
the small nucleus of few prominent
banks of this country associated to-
that exists today with this enaor-
nous membership. 1t has been an
inspiration to me to see it branch
out into educational lines. protective
lines, and other lines of endeavor for
the material uplifting and develop
ment of the banking profession
throughout the length and breadth of
this land. Every bank and banker in
this association feels naturally and
justly proud of membership in this
organization, not only on account of
the high prestige of tn, association
influence it yields for the benefit OF
the masses of the people and the
| whole country This association has
grown alike in power and beneficence.
IL has helped to shape wise and bene-
| ficent legislation: it has raised its
voice against fanaticism and misguid-
ed popular c!amor. and in time of fl
nancial disturbance, has brought or
der out of chaos and restored conf
| dence.
so | say it is for the cause that we
represent that Chicago extends her
hearty hand of welcome. 1t is her
recognition of this great power for
| good amongst us: it is her spirit of
| cooperation with all that makes for
the uplifting of the people of our
country. that has such a repay well

Report of Executive Council.

Report of Executive Council.
F. o. Watts, president of the First
National Bank of Nashville, Tenn.
chairman of 1.-THE executive council,
reported for his committee as follows:
Through the Journal of the Ameri-
can Bankers association the mem
bers have been so well informed from
month to month of the work of the
executive council and the special
committee and officers under it's con-
troll, that but for the long established
custom of having a written report for
purpose to fall in with all good GUS
toms and precedents, l would have no
further report.
Following custom, the executive
council held two meetings since its
last report to yOu-One just after the
adjournment of the Denver conven-
ton, and the second at Briarcliff N.
Y. during May The details of these
meetings were published in the May
and October numbers of the Journal

surely could never have been amy

monious, and the attendance at the

markable considering that the men,

Beyond question one of the local in
stitutions that deserves the support of
home people is the American Steam
laundry, for if there is one institution
that is truly meritorious it is the busi-
ness conducted by the Ryan sisters on
Miner street With an investment
that represents years of saving and
economy, the owners and operators
have worked faithfully to bring the
business up to its present high stand
ard. The policy Of home patronage
should be exercised in this line if no
other, for the results attained are fully
up to the standard of out-of-town pro-
duction. Just patronize the American
Steam laundry the next time and see
if the work is not entirely satisfac-
