NEW NATIONAL BANK LAWS.
important Changes May BE Proposed
to Next Congress.

washington, Sept. 16.-Some i'm
portant changes in the national bank
ing law may be proposed to the next
Congress.
one proposed change is to compel
newly organized national banks to
provide a surplus and an absolutely
rnimparied capital the day they be-
EN- business. Under the present sys-
ten national bank with paid-in
capital of $4,000 will spend prob
ably $4,000 at the start for fixtures.
books and other necessities. That
lmpairs its capital. In some cases it
has been two years before the bank
earned enough to wipe out that
amount and have it's capital stock
unimpaired. Even then it had no
surplus.
The idea is to compel the organi-
zers OF the bank to provide a 20 per
cent surplus at the start.

The demonstrations which have
greeted Colonel Roosevelt in the Mid
die West have been greater than the
wolcomings he received in the East.
Yet the East is principally set on
conservation and the Middle West on
tariff revision, concerning which lat
ter the Colonel troubles himself but
little. All this, however, is only one
phase Of general topsy-turvy con-
dition. SO it needn't bother anybody.

Phases OF Economics.

10 becomes necessary 10 resist GER
tain narrowness IN certain phases OF
home economies. one of the mar
rownesses Is the assumption that be-
cause a thing happens to be close 10
us Il Is therefore important.
We have heard lecturers insist
that because a house contains drain
pipes a woman should learn all about
drain pipes. But why? In most
communities drain pipes are installed
and repaired and In every way con-
trolled by gentlemen who are drain
pipe specialists. The woman who
lives In the house has no more real
need or knowledge Of the struct-
ural mysteries OF drain pipes than a
reporter has OF a knowledge OF the
structural mysteries o. his typewrit-
ing machine.
Another possible narrowness Is the
attempt to manufacture cultural
backgrounds" for various important
but quite safe and sane household
tasks.
For instance. In the books and in
the courses OF instruction (of college
grade) on THE House" we have
sometimes observed elaborate ac-
counts OF the evolution of the human
home, beginning with the huts Of the
primitive Simlans. And in pursuing
the very essential subject of CLOTHES

found ourselves In the midst Of spa

with that which was used by the An

Now we would not for the world
speak disparagingly OF looms or huts.
We have ourselves examined some of
them In the Hull House Museum, in
Chicago. and IN the woods OF Canada.
and have found them instructive. We

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD.
Railroad President Says Conditions in
The South are Excellent and Pros
poets for Business are Bright.

Washington. d. c. Sept. 14.-Presi-
dent Finley, Of the Southern Railway
Company, who has been looking in
to business conditions in the South
eastern States today said:
"On the whole the conditions are
encouraging. In agriculture the pres
ent outlook is particularly good. The
cotton crop Is later than usual, and
Is, therefore, more subject to future
weather conditions than Is usual at
this time Of the year. However, the
condition report Of the United States
Agricultural Department, issued on
the End instant, showed a better
average condition Of the growing cot
ton crop in the States south of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers and east
Of the Mississippi than on the cor
responding date last year, and the
area planted was reported in June
as 100000 acres greater than last
year.
with ordinary favorable weather
conditions until the crop is harvested,
the Southeastern States will have the
largest corn crop on record for that
section. The area planted is more
than a million and a-half acres great
er than last year. and the condition
report issued on September 9Th
showed better condition in Missis-
sippi than in any other State in the
United States, with Alabama close
second and with good condition re-
ported from each of the other South
eastern States. The increased corn
crop of the South will have an i'm
portant bearing on general trade
conditions, for localities which have
form erly bought considerable corn
from other parts Of the country are
growing in some cases all, and in
other cases the greater part of what
they will require this year, and will
be in position to buy other COM
modities on a larger scale.
Coal is moving in larger volume
than last year, and lumber is in more
active demand.
THE cotton mill industry of the
world has been passing through a
prolonged period of depression due
to the inability of manufacturers to
market their products at prices COM
mensurate with the price of their raw
material This has resulted in q ma
terial curtailment Of production in
the South as we'll as in other cotton
mill centers. In the meantime, the
consumption Of cotton goods through
out the world Is continuing. Stocks
In the hands of merchants are being
reduced, and there Is every reason to
believe that, as soon as the size of
this years crop can be more accurate
ly estimated, there will be an active
demand for cotton goods Of all kinds
at prices bearing such a relation to
the price Of the raw material as to
stimulate the mill industry.
Taking all factors Of the situation
into consideration. 1 am encouraged
to believe that, with average weather
conditions and In the absence of an
unusually early killing frost, we may
look forward to an active fall and
winter business in the Southeastern
States"

Oyster Bay. July 16.-Theodore
Roosevelt today refused &c discuss the
third term boom proposed by former
Ambassador David e. Thompson.
The ~ex-president was pitching hay
when he was asked al to his attitude
toward the proposal. His reply was
q point blank refusal to talk about the
matter, the refusal being emphasized
by a fierce scowl.
Roosevelt has received scores Of
letters In the last ten days, particular
ly since he came out in support of he
insurgent candidates. urging that he
allow his friends to put him forward
as a receptive candidate for the presi-
dental nomination in 1912. He knows
that II he desires 1t, 4 strong senti-
ment can be worked up within the re-

gent clement Of it. Roosevelt. as far
as known. has not given the slightest
encouragement as yet to these impor-
tunities. The colonel was up early
today with his pitchfork and by noon
he had piled up four wagon loads of
hay.

Except that William T. Broadway, a

not give his wife any spending money.
no evidence was introduced by the
complainant to show cause for a di-
vorce. When the defendant was on
the stand he said that he did not give
his wife any pin-money because he
did not have n to spare.
, Practically the same talk was put up
by Maggie Adams. who wants a di.
vorce from Robert Adams. Failure to
provide was averred in both cases,
but testimony of the defendants influ-
enced the court to refuse to grant di.
vorces to either Of the petitioners.
