EXAMINERS WORK
SHOULD Be RIGID
No Bank Conducting An Honest 6usl-
ness Need Fear Examination,
Says President Mcintosh.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 5.-H. p. Nc
Intosh, president of the Guardian Saw
ings and Trust company of Cleveland.
o., in his annual address as president
of the trust company section of the
American Bankers association, which
was read today by the secretary in Mr..
Mclntosh's absence, urges more fre-
quent and rigid examination Of the
state, Mr. Mcintosh says.
"The question of bank examinations
| is one of which great deal has been
said and written in recent years, re-
sulting in the enactment of laws in
some of the state providing for the ex-
Iaminations and regulation of these in
Istitutions, which has already had
beneflcient effect on the general situa-
tion, as well as beneficial to both the
banks and the public.
"It may be pertinent to inquire to
what extent the examination of banks
should go? 1t would seem in this mat
ter that the more frequent and thor.
ough such examinations are made the
better.
| IF it were possible for a banking
department to make at least three ex-
plantations year. at irregular times,
of every bank within its jurisdiction,
the examiners spending sufficient
time to make thorough audit and to
become familiar with the affairs of
such banks, checking over every item
of their assets, investigating the paper
and investments carried, and be able
to intelligently advise where mistakes
had been made, and firmly insist upon
the laws under which such banks are
acting to be observed. that would be
lcondition to be desired.
mo bank operating under state, or
United States laws, If it is conducting
its business as required by the laws of
such state, or the United States, need
fear examinations, however frequent
or thorough, but, On the contrary, will
welcome such examinations and lend
| its aid to the agents appointed to make
the same. believe that all legisla-
tion providing for the general better
ing of the banking situation and tend
ing to give more frequent and rigid
bank examination should receive the
hearty support of every bank official,
so that the day may come when such
a thing as bank failure shall be a
memory of the past and all banks
shall be safe and sound
ut will add to the credit Of trust
companies to seek such legislation
rather than to have it forced upon
them. Let us continue to harp on this
subject until every state has state ex.
animation of trust companies.
Another law that should be enact.
ed in many states is one providing
that an insolyert trust company be
| liquidated by the state superintendent
of banks instead of the usual way of
by a receiver appointed by a court,
which in too many cases results in the
appointment of party more distin-
guished in politics than in finances, re-
sulting usually in very expensive
! liquidation, while the expense Of liquid
ations by state banking departments
have demonstrated that these are very
much less than the former"

TEN susHELs OF CORN.

Hon. Reed Smoot, u. S. senator
from Utah, has put out in pamphlet
form an interesting speech made by
him in congress during the month OF
MAY. The document refers to the
farmers condition at the present
time as compared with his condition
in 1896. Various groups of products
are compared and the purchasing
prices Of different articles are given
The table showing the comparative
value of ten bushels of corn is fair
sample of the many, and as corn is a
staple article in this state it is of es.
peciai interest to our people. The
measurement is made on the whole
sale prices of both the corn and the
articles enumerated: ...
Ten bushels of corn will buy 20 lbs.
of Rio coffee No. Z in 1910, and would
purchase 81 pounds in 1865
Sixteen gallons of New Orleans
molasses in 1910 and only 8 gallons
in 1906.
112 pounds of rice in 1910 and only
So in 1896.
Seven bushels of salt as against 4
l31 pounds of granulated sugar, as
against SO.
Five yards of brussels carpet, as
against 3.
Eleven yards ingram carpet, as
against 7.
Eighty-nine yards of Bingham, as
against 55.
twenty-five yards of sheeting, as
against Is.
sixty-twu yards of shifting, as
against 3S. ...
Two pairs of shoes with $1.04 left
over, against one pair and sixty cents
over.
Thirty-fiye bushels of hard coal, as
against %.
Fifty-eight bushels of soft coal, as
against 81.
Fifty-three gallons of coal oil, as
against % gallons.
268 pounds of barbed wire, as
against LAG.
337 pounds of nails as against s5
pounds.
1040 common bricks. as against 519
Four barrels of Portland cement, as
against /. ers
Six barrels of lime, as against 3.
113 feet of white oak lumber, as
against IS.
1900 shingles, as against 1140.
249 feet of spruce lumber as
aginst 200 feet.
The showing is one that is not cal
culated to inspire any great desire
on the part of the farmer to demand
radical change in the management
OF affairs by the national government

WHEN TRADE is DULL.

Push hardest when trade is dull
est" is the advice given by writer
in one of the trade magazines. He
adds: -... ~
1t is one of the laws of nature that
the greater the load the greater must
be the effort expended to move it. 1t
is one OF the laws of merchandising,
that the duller the season the greater
must be the effort to get trade.
Lessen the effort and the load will
not mOVe--the trade will not come.
Increase the effort and the faster
will the load move-the faster will
the trade come.
This is an unaIterable law-the law
OF cause and effect
And there can be no escape from
it-without punishment.
You will publish your business. you
will penalize yourself-if you fail 10
push hardest when trade is dulIest
Just because there is tendency to
let down on "the other fellows" part.
is all the more reason why you should
drive .aheadand gain further lead.

DEMOCRATIC pIscoRo.

The democrats of the Sixth Judicial
district have troubles of their own.
According to the Des Moines Register
and Leader, p. J. Hanley, of Wash
ington, claims he was nominated for
judge at the convention in Oskaloosa
last week On the first formal ballot
he was one of the three who had the
highest number OF votes, and in con
sequence he claims that he was legal
ly the nominee. The vote was: Mo
ers, Of Jasper, 81; Reynolds, of Ma
haska, 81; Hanley, of Washington, As,
and Gamble, of Keokuk, 35. There
were three judges to nominate and
the three receiving the highest votes
were 10 be the nominees. After the
vote had been announced, however,
Mr.. Hanley states that the chairman
OF the Mahaska county delegation
arose and changed ten votes from
Mr., Hanley to Mr. Gamble. 1t was
on that action that Messrs. S. V.Rey-
nolds, of Mahaska: o. p. Myers, of
Jasper. and w. C. Gamble, of Keokuk.
were declared the nominees of the
convention. Mr.. HanIey believes he
was legally nominated and will take
the matter into court, probably.

IHE cRoM ANp rhE OWL.

John w Wright, In the Knoxville
Journal: IF there are such things
as inbred deSiitry and natural born
cunning, and in the general supposi,
ton that such qualities can be trans
mitted to progeny from generation to
generation among such creatures as
birds, it is certainly true that the
common black, cawing crow is the
creature which has been burdened
with more than its share OF inherent
mischief. III
Grows are not only devilish, mis-
chievous and malicious to an abnor,
NAL degree, but they are also born
thieves and pilferers and appear to
possess such qualities well knowing
that they are such. Besides having
all the other bad habits that could
possibly be thrust upon bird, the
crows make a regular business of in.
dnlging themselves with keen and
grotesque sense of humor at the ex,
pense of their enemies.
at is we'll known to all ornitholo.
gists and bird students that there is
a natural enmity between crows and
owls, and yet there is no clear reason
why such should be the case, espec-
tally when it. is such patent fact
the owl is a night prowling bird,
which cannot possibly seriously in
terfere with the daytime affairs of
his dusky foe.
when crow spies an owl perched
in some secluded spot, quietly blink
ing his great eyes and trying to ex-
ercise the rights which should be in
vested in him as bird citizen, that
dusky enemy Immediately sets about
the matter of informing all the other
crows in the neighborhood of his
discovery. And then there is gather
ing of the clans. Crows flock in from
far and near and soon raise such din
that the noise can be heard for mile
in every direction.
There is no record of a crow mob
ever actually killing an owl, but that
they poster him sorely during the re-
mainder of the day there is no mis-
take. And the great why? is still a
puzzle to all nature students"

ALL or BANKS
SURPLUS STOLEN
Loss OF Fidelity Trust Of Louis
vile ST 10000.
THEFTs COVER TEN YEARS
August Ropke, Assistant Secretary, 10
Said to Have squandered Inn
mense Amount In Wild
Speculation.

Louisville, KY, July 25.--August
Ropke, assistant secretary and book
keeper Of the Fidelity Trust company,
is believed in ten years to have en-
bezzled $1,140.000, the entire surplus
of the concern. according to a state
ment made by John w. Barr, presi-
dent of the trust company.
The defaulting official has been
locked up for ten days unable to fur
nish bail In the sum of $4,000.
Ropke was a heavy Spectator and
lost large sums, it is said, on Wall
street and the Chicago board Of trade.
The question was put to Mr.. Barr:
Does this amount represent Ropke's
net defalcation?"
81 can only say to you," replied the
president, that the entire surplus
of the company has been wiped out"
Stock Issue to Make Good Loss.
Mr.. Bars announcement was made
after special meeting of the stock
holders. He said the loss will be met
by an issue of stock, as announced
several days ago, aggregating $1,000
The Fidelity Trust company repre-
sents the wealth of Louisville and not
withstanding the serious blow there
is no apprehension in financial circles
over the outcome of the shortage. The
stockholders already have agreed, it
is understood. to subscribe the full
amount of the new issue.
Ropke, the central figure in the de-
falcation, is a German, about forty-five
years old. He is man of family, and
has always stood well and enjoyed the
unbounded confidence of his business
associates.
Auto Was Only Luxury.
Ropke lived unostentatiously and
INDUCED in only one luxury as far as
his friends know and that was an
automobile. But the craze for specu-
lation seized him and he began dab
bling in stocks and grain ten years
ago. He was successful. But the
inevitable losses followed and he tried
to recoup. ....
One year he, is reported to have
made 100000 only to lose it month
or more later. Ropke has been in the
employ of the bank during Is years
and it is understood the investigation
into his books will cover the entire
period.
One day about two weeks ago a
shortage of $4,000 was accidentally
discovered by one of Ropke's assist
ants and the matter was reported to
his superiors. This resulted in his ar.
rest. He takes his jail life easy and
has refused to make any statement.
Experts from Chicago are at work
on the books.
