TO INSURE DEPOSITS.
State Bankers Have About Given Up
Guarantee Law.

Topeka.-The state bankers of Kan.
sas are preparing to organize com
pany to insure bank deposits. They
will take no definite steps, however,
until the United States court of ap'
peals passes on the motion to set
aside Judge Pollock's temporary in.
Junction That question is to be ar
gued in St. Louis March Is. An early
decision is looked for.
1t is giving no secret away to say
that the state bankers expect Judge
Pollock to be upheld by the court OF
appeals. They are hoping that he
won't, but still they haven't much
faith In their cause.
"If the court of appeals doesn't set
aside the temporary Injunction" said
William Macferran, authority on the
defunct Kansas bank guaranty law,
then 1t will be up to us to form a
company to insure our own deposits.
We have discussed the matter consid-
erably and it is the opinion of all in
terested that We can get a strong COM
pany that will insure our own de-
posts"
will you patronize the company
that has already been formed?" he
was asked He replied:
mot to any great extent, in my
opinion, for the reason that its insur-
ance rates are entirely too high. I
understand 1t is charging 50 thou
sand. The state guaranty law only
charged SO cents a thousand and that
seemed to be ample to protect against
all losses.
you must remember that company
insurance would not be connected
with politics in any way. The exam
liners would only have one object in
view-a thorough and business-like ex'
animation. The bank that secured a
policy on its deposits would necessar-
lily have to be clean. This being true,
there would be no danger of a fail
ure because the company would see to
Il that the bank was kept clean. That
is why the company in business is
charging too much premium. 1t could
scale the rates and still make good
money. 1t expects to be big money
maker.
1.-THE plan Of the state banks is not
to make their company big money
maker. All they want is for it to
make enoukh money to pay expenses
and return a small income on the in
vestment. 1t will probably be mu-
tual concern and operate along the
lines fixed by the bank guarant" law"
Bank Commissioner Dolley believes
that mutual company insurance will
solve the guaranty question il the
court of appeals also puts its heel
on the bank guaranty law.
"A company can be formed In short
order among the state bankers" said
he. "In fact, the matter has already
been favorably discussed. The prin-
ciple of the bank guaranty law can
be used as basis for mutual insur-
ance by a private company. The fed
eral courts certainly, can not reach
that form of insurance"

Department Broke Record.

The state insurance department has
broken all records this year The in
surance year ends March l and the
department has already issued this
year nearly two thousand more licenses
to agents than before. Last year
broke the record and this years IL
censes run about a Thousand over the
total number issued last year Up to
date the insurance department has is
sued 1898 licenses to insurance
agents and there are still eleven days
in the year. The total number Issued

CONCENTRATION.

Possibly when you were young you
learned the way of the burning glass.
Using Il small mirror, you cOnCen-
trated the rays of light upon some
ones hand or face When the victim
felt slight burning sensation he
looked about him for the perpetrator.
Long age men discovered that the
rays of the sun focused by large
lens would set fire to combustibles.
Well
The human mind has qualities some
what like the sun. By concentrating
its attention upon a particular thing
for length of time results are pro-
duced.
whereas
If the attention is distracted from
one thing to another and the fugitive
rays of thought are scattered, there is
no accomplishment.
Concentration is power.
What we call mesmerism Is merely
the power OF the mind raised TO It's
highest by concentration Of effort.
If you would succeed in life learn to
concentrate your mental faculties.
Education itself Is largely the ac-
quired ability to focus the mind on it's
task.
Concentrate.
Fix your mind upon whatever pur,
pose you have IN view. Bring to bear
upon your concerted effort every unit
Of your will force. And keep at it.
That is the price of accomplishment
As the mischieyous boy holds the
mirror at the proper angle until the
victim of his practical joke feels the
sting of the burn, so must you hold the
mirror of your mind at the proper an
gle until the effect is produced.
And this power, mind you, which no
one fully understands, is divine power.
You merely borrow 1t.
It is lent to you for benign purposes.
Do not use 1t basely or selfishly.
II you should misuse the mysterious
power, If you should employ it to hurt
a weaker brother or ruin weaker sis
ter, beware.
The reaction of the law is as divine
as the law itself.
But wisely used concentration is the
only way to reach the right goal of a
life's desire.

Business Failures.

There Is more than one kind of bust
ness failure. The first and what might
be called the only true failure In bust
ness from a statistical standpoint is
that where person fails owing money
to others. This is the failure In which
the business world is really interested,
because in 1t is involved the loss of
other peoples money The failure
merely to succeed and the temporary
or permanent withdrawal of the fail
ing trader with only the loss of his
own capital cannot have the interest
for the community at large that would
follow il the failing trader had lost
some other persons money besides his
own. For the first kind Of failure
there is usually q public record of
SOME kind which can be statisticalIy
measured; for the second there is real

If you do not others will not think

| have read somewhere that the man
who does not think well of himself
and is not good to himself blasphemes
the God who made him and pro-
nounced him good.
But the main reason for thinking
well of yourself is to be found in this
Bible truth:
'As a man thinketh in his heart so
is he"
If you think yourself worthy you
will try TO be worthy: If you think you
do not amount to much you will not
amount to much; if you think yourself
capable of doing things you will do
