The Kansas legislature has passed
banking law similar to the Oklahoma
law, guaranteeing depositors against
loss. Arkansas is sadly in need of "a
wholesome banking law of some kind,
but our legislators are so busy pass
ing laws to regulate the color of coon
skins and fixing days on which man
may hunt snipe and kill. woodchucks
in the different townships of the
various counties of the state, that
they have no time to fool with bank
ing laws, or other general laws that
would be of any benefit to the state.

1t is by no means the worst thing in
the world to be called crank. Usual
". where one finds man with SUI
ficient individuality to oppose impuri-
ty and shams, too brave TO be a cow
ardly conformist, and too honest to
get rich by some sort of legalized
stealinging, he is called a crank.
Wherever man is found who thinks
life holds better things for him than to
merely drift along in quiet accord with
the popular fallacies of the day, he is
a crank. DISCOVERIES, inventors and
philanthropists are eranks. Christie

LESSONS TAUGHT BY PANIC

In an article in the April number of
World Work, John d. Rockefeller
declares that the panic of 1907 was the
worst he ever experienced, and heaps
praise upon J. p. Morgan for his
efforts to prevent continued depression
of business.
"Since 1857, writes Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter, 81 can remember all the great
panics, but | believe the panic of 1907
was the most trying. No one escaped
from it, great or small. Important
institutions had to be supported and
carried through the time of distrust
and unreasoning fear.
"The question has been asked if
think we shall revive quickly from the
panic of 1907. | hesitate to speak on
the subject, since am not prophet
nor a son of a prophet, but as to the
ultimate outcome there is, of course,
no doubt This temporary setback
will lead to safer institutions and
more conservative management upon
the part of every one, and this is a
quality we need. >
Discussing morality in business,
Mr.. Rockefeller says in part:
1.-THE underlying, essential element
of success to business affairs is to
follow the established laws of high
class dealing Keep to broad and
sure lines and study them to be certain
that they are correct ones.
"Wateh the natural operations of
trade and keep within them. Don't
aRjR 81 dta@p@RssssEe &c your fe; energy
on thing which ends in a petty
triumph unless you are satisfied with
life of petty successes.
1.-THE man who starts out simply
with the idea of getting rich won't
succeed; you must have a larger am
bition. The great industrial leaders
have told again and again the plain
and obvious fact that there can be no
permanent success without fair deal
ing that leads to widespread conf
dence in the man himself; and that is
the real capital we all prize and work
for

The schools, the pulpit and the press
are all lined up against the liquor traf-
fc. These three mostpotentagencies are
tremendously working to build up a
public sentiment against the traffic OF
drink, and any man who can look
through the ''hind-sights" of his
political gun can see how the work of
these agencies are bearing fruit in

The counterfeit and the genuine are
found everywhere-in religion, in
society, in politics and in money.
We often hear of men refusing to have
anything to do with the churches, be-
cause there are hypocrites, or counter
felt Christians, but we never hear of
one of the these fellows refusing to
have anything to do with money be-
cause there are counterfeit dollars.

People who write things which they
would like to see printed in the news
papers, should bear in mind that what
they write as their personal opinion
should be fathered by them, and when
they write stuff that is not fit for them
to attach their names to it should
never be printed. People should never
ask a newspaper to do something for
them which they are afraid to do
themselves.

The whole truth is yet unknown to
mortals. This is an inducement for

all the truth is fossillzed, and looks

NO CHANGE LIKELY Conductors Fare Deposits oa Connecticut
 Railway to Continue.

New Haven, Sept. 1e-In connection with the complaint of some of the trolleymen connected with the Connec- ticut Company, regarding the system of the return of fare collections from the conductors of the road to the com pany, upon which meeting was held by the local trolleymen yesterday, ii was stated at the headquarters of the company last night that there would very likely be no action taken upon the matter. The drop boxes will be retained.
 Some of the conductors, who are re- uuired to make use of the drop boxes at various points on the road to return their fare reports, have been found short, lately, but the matter has been adjusted and there is no doubt that the present system will continue to prevail. It is said that it entails no loss upon men who are honest. Even if a checker were to be employed all night at the central office, to receive the fare envelopes of the conductors there would be no improvement in the existing conditions. it was declared.

WE BURN UP TOO MUCH HERE
Hundreds Of Millions Wasted Yearly
Europe a Lesson for Us

New York, Dec. 3O-Every person
in America practically suffered a fire
loss of $2.5S in 1907 whereas the per
capita less in Europe for the same
year was only As cents This con
trast was brought out by William II.
Tolman. director of the New York
museum of safety and sanitary appli-
ances, at a banquet of the directors
and their guests last night
The total fire loss in America in
1907 said Mr.. Tolman, was $215,O00,-
600 and including the cost OF upkeep
OF fire departments the loss in this
country might be estimated at $780,
100000.
If safety devices were used here as
generally as in Europe there would
be an annual saving of 100000, OOO
enough as Mr.. Tolman put it, ito
build a Panama canal every year"
