Wedding Gut Weak Banks

The national banking system has
made its greatest growth in the last 10
years It is a growth that has brought
stability and security and paved the
way to more substantial development.
1t is still subject to vital improvem ent
There are too many banks for one
thing This fact is recognized by the
government and will be dealt with, and
has already been dealt to some extent
The government plan Of wedding out
the weak institutions will effect a
much larger degree Of improvement.
AS disclosed in the comptroller's report
the plan is simply to guide these week
banks into liquidation or combination
withFstonger houses. This will have the
effect of cutt;-g down the nun Der, hut
of increasing z efficiency Of those re-
mai ring and enIarging the measure of
safety both to the shareholders and
depositors, an essential object. 1t is
but another way of discouraging the
tendency of banking speculation and
therefore adding to the grounds of
public confidence. 1t tends to bring
to safe and sane level i'm pertinent
business of handling the peoples
money and maintaining the nation S
financial integrity, and when that is
comprehended in lis full import this
departure on the p It Of the govern
ment will be adequately appreciated. =

Want Safe Crossings

If the energetic protest of the Mayor
and Town Council and the Citizens
Association of fayetteville is effective
the Washington, Westminster and Get
tysburg Railroad Company will con
struct no grade crossings within the
corporate limits OF Hyattsville and will
go over or under the tracks OF the City
and Suburban Electric Railway, nesr
Rsndalltown, just outside OF the limits
of the municipality. Some days ago
a formal protest and a petition for a
hearing before the Public Utilities
Commission of Maryland was filed with
the commission by-Acting Mayor John
Fainter on behalf of the Mayor and
Common Council and DR.. Thomas E.
Latiner as chairman Of the railroad
committee OF the Citizens Association.
The commission has set January as
the date for = public hearing in the
matter and the Mayor and Common
Council and the Citizens Association
are preparing to make strong fight to
secure IDS III SSTFSfltiOil VI LIS COlliHliS-
sion.
At meeting Of the Citizens Asso
citation Tuesday night DR.. Latimer re-
ported that he had made arrangements
with local 7g-yeyor to make a plato
the ground in the immediate vicinity Of
the crossings under consideration and
the association voted to have the engi-
neer appear with the delegation before
the commission. William c. Wells pre-
scented mis- reasons for believing that
the new railroad could very readily go
over the tracks Of the City and Subur-
ban, and II. F. Halloran declared that
to allow these railroads to cross each
other at the grade would be a menace
to the lives of hundreds Of persons who
daily use the electric road, besides
greatly depreciating, in his opinion
property values in HyattsgilIe. Il Was
voted to secure, if possible, the coop
era ton of the Mayor and Town Coun-
ell of La rel ani the Citizens Asaocia-
tons OF Brentwood, East Hy*ttsViIle,
Riverdale ard Berwyn, On The line Of
the City ard Suburban.

Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation and awarded contracts for music

Although the inauguration of Wood
row Wilson as governor Of New Jersey
will take place on January II, the day
set for the celebration, an effort will
be made to get the famous Democrat
to Baltimore to attend the latter half
of the national party jubilee. Gen.
Murray Vandiver said that he would
likely call upon Governor-elect Wilson
and urge him to make the trip to Bal
timore Mt the close of the Inauguration
ceremonies. If the Governor-elect
agrees to do this he will be put down
as one of the speakers at the gigantic
banquet that will close the celebration.

DR.. HuSkeI on Gentleman

Rev. DR.. Oliver Huckel, under the
auspices Of the Moral Education Board
of Baltimore city, gave lecture at the
Friends School in Baltimore.
The topic was 1.-The Gentleman"
and the lecture was accompanied by
number of lantern slides Illustrating the
theme, showing daily occurrences IN
life. Prof Edward G. Wilson presided
and Mr.. Bernard N. Baker, president
of the Moral Education Board, intro
duced the speaker DR.. Huckel said ::
"a gentleman means, first of all,
true man in the best sense OF the word.
Gentle, as here used, signifies we'll
bred, chivalrous, noble. The code OF
the gentleman is the law Of noble and
right life, an outward expression OF an
inner spirit. Real strength IS not IN
outward things, but in the inner life
: the spirit, the mind, the will. 1t Is
character and spirit that makes the
gentleman Even a boy begins to show
early what kind Of man he will be-
come. A true boy is gentleman IN
the making. Obedience to law is the
first thing to learn. Self-control is an
other thing. Sympathy and generosity
are still further traits. Courtesy and
kindness to others are marks of gen
tleman. Respect for the aged and
chivalry toward women are essential
traits. Deeper than all outward train
ing is the training of the finer instincts
of the spirit. ~
1.-THE heart is the fountain OF every
thing that makes life noble. Keep the
heart kind and pure and true. AS
Shakespeare says Of mans life, so OF
boys. 1T may be touched to inner
issues The character Of a man or
boy is known by his unconscious habits
his attitude when off guard, just as :
straw shows which way the wind bloT rs
Men IN the humblest walks of life are
often true gentlemen. Nothing better
exists, be he prince or emperor, than a
true gentleman. An honest mans the
noblest work of God. The gentleman
keeps to the rule. He wins, if at all,
in an honest and manly way. If ne
does wrong he apologies and retrleves
it if possible.
"A gentleman treats all women with
the same courtesy that he would his
mother or sister. 1t is true and
noble ambition to become real gentle
man. It will develop self-respsct; 1t
will gain real friends. 1t will help in
large measure toward success in life.
Lord Chesterfield and Beau Brummel
are not necessarily our ideals of gentle
men, but such strong and fine charac-
tiers as Sir Philip Sidney, William Penn,
George Washington, William E. Glad
stone and Philips Brooks
