Protecting National Banks,

Comptroller Murray has originated
and introduced a number of reforms
designed to standardze and raise the
quality of bank examinations It is
his conviction that proper examina-
lions by really qualified men would
make failure impossible in the field
of national banking. Be this as it
may, all wish him success in his steady
campaign for conservatism. honesty
and safety.
He has now approved an idea, sug-
gested by a committee of examiners,
which is calculated to benefit banks
and well as depositors and clients.
Lists of large, persistent and doubt
full borrowers are to be compiled in
the various districts and compared
in the comptroller's Office. The object
is TO make Misrepresentation and de-
ception hazardous for dishonest bur
rowers-to aid the banks in discover
ing such fraud. for example, as mas
recently come to light in New York
where one crook openly boosted that
he had easily and successfully imposed
on several banks. The information
will be treated as highly confidential
and should be so treated to prevent
abuse or the spreading of damaging

'scoNsET COTTAGE NAMES.
Queer Titles Adapted to the Queer
Structures They Belong Ia.

every time l go off on my summer
outing said the man who is just back
from his vacation, Il wonder what new
and old friends in the line of cottage
names | am going to find. Of course
everybody with summer cottage,
even if it is only a shack with one
room, has to give it a title and the
natives aren't far behind when it
comes to naming their farmhouses or
everyday village homes.
Don't think | am grumbling. l like
the custom and am thinking of open
ing competition with a fellow, or may
be it's woman, living over in Jersey.
He, or she, advertised to fit anybody
out with a name suitable for country
home OF any description. My! I'd like
to see the list that fellow, or woman,
has stored up!
But I'll bet the island of Nantucket
can show him. or her, some new ones.
Especially that part of the island
known as Sconset. It's no wonder
that 'Sconset has odd names for it's
houses, for the houses are not like any
you ever saw anywhere else They
began by being little cabins where
fisherman stayed part of the year.
Gradually they grew a little. with
an ELI here and a leanto there. But
they aren't much bigger now than
overgrown boxes. And they squat so
close to the ground that two tall men
could almost see each other across the

all over sides as well as roofs, and the
shingles are gray and messy with age
When it comes to names one finds
some of the old reliables even at
'Sconset l don't believe there are
many square miles in New England
without an Idlewild. And OF course
every stretch of summer resort coast
| from Maine to Florida has it's cottage
| labelled Ocean Spray. But here are a
few of the less common names Orna-
menting the door lintels al 'Sconset

more or less nautical flavor. AS for

than its share of castles, whose size,
however, may be inferred from such

Crumbs of Comfort Whileaway Solid
Comfort, Hearts Ease, Aud Lang
Syne, AS Lou Like 1t, the Web and the
Roasting Stick, where a bachelor party

Some of Gov. McLean's Epiarama.

The meanest thing a republican
speaker can do to the democrats is to
refer to their record.
There's nothing the democratic
party likes to do better than to come
to life once in awhile.
l have great respect for Judge Bald
win but when the Judge takes from
his eyes the bandage of ultimate
justice and steps into the arena of
politics conditions change. He's the
court no longer. He's the plaintiff and
you are the court.
When Judge Baldwin steps from the
sound eternal principles of an ideal
democracy to the democratic platform
of 1908 he takes a hard, long fall but
fall he must.
Judge Baldwin has got the record
of the democratic party to deal with.
1t is not our desire to make an en-
pire of this republic but to make this
union of republics greater than all the
empires of the world.
When he (Judse Baldwin, said he
voted for that platform which he did
not believe in, he took himself out OF
the list of men who love their country
more than their party.
Pardon me if I believe that his
Judge Baldwin's) political judgment
was better during his 10 years as a
republican than il has been since.
I want you to send Governor Bulke-
ley back to the senate if you don't
send me-Bridgeport Standard.

State Chairman Michael kenealy, of
the Republican committee, is out with
his expected forecast Of the coming
election. He predicts "a Republican
victory, and by a bigger vote than peo-
pie generally look for 1t is part Of
Mr.. Kenealy's business to predict Re
publican victories and then help to
bring them about. AS chairman of the
Republican organization it wouldn't do
for him to predict anything whatever
for the Democrats. And in this con-
nection it should be remembered that
there is no more accurate prophet in
Connecticut that this same Michael
Kenea1y. He has won the distinction
OF being better able to guess Republi-
can maiorities in advance than any
other member of his party. Two years
ago, when there was a keen contest
within Republican ranks he deliber-
ately guessed a greatly reduced ma
iority for the Republicans, and it af-
forwards developed that his forecast
was a conservative one. This year
there is no contest, no hard feelings,
no very deep scars but on the other
hand there is very formidable Demo-
cratic candidate. hence the difficulty
in making an accurate guess is ap-
parent. We believe. however, that
Chairman Kenealy is once more within
the bounds of probabilities. The vic
tory in Connecticut again promises to
be Republican and to have 4 margin OF
becoming width.-Ansonia Sentinel.

Republican candidates All Right.

Candidate Dix in New York is in
much tht same fix as Candidate Bald
win in Connecticut. In New York
the people want the public service
commission law retained unchanged
or strengthened and Mr.. Dix is I'M
able to definitely state how he feels
with regard to that measure. In Con-
necticut the people want a public
utilities bill, like that in Massachu-
sets, and also in New York, taking
in the railroads. but Candidate Bald
win has his doubts about the legality
of such q law and on the strength of
that technicality stands aloof The re-
publican candidates in both states are
right on the required measures.
