railroad platforms strike him as hap
PLY far removed from the casual traf-
fic on his little old isle; Recently he
has discovered that there Is no use
throwing glass at stone houses; Lon
don conveyances have growr so un-
accommodating that IL is impossible
during the rush hours to be even
sandwiched on the bus he used to
take.
Formerly conductors were almost
strict in refusing to allow anyone to
board a car that was full Now any,
one can get on that can stand the
pressure. Four years ago the Lo-
don tramway service carried s14,227.-
oSO passengers. In the course OF the
year ending March 81 last the stu
pendous total of 451. 1.439,216 passen-
gers We're conveyed by it. With this
advance the accommodation has not
kept pace. 1t is interesting to note
how the 1S7,212,126 new passengers
get a ride.
After watching a parade of buses
that he would like to have boarded. a
man leaps desperately on any vehicle
that will carry him few yards near
er his office: the conductor does not
stop the bus because it is full and
| because he knows the man will leap
whether it is stopped or not. While
this latest passenger is out of breath
! and sagging from a strap he feels
someone file his ankles with a hob
nailed shoe. He looks down and there
before him is the offending clerk
digging him in the shins while pre-
tending to read the daily news. The
clerk hopes to restore the comfort oi
the uncrowded buses of the old days
by making it uncomfortable for strap,
hangers.
When a woman gets on a crowded
bus she trips daintily over every foo

OF the old sentiment, why should wo

The most irritating point about thi
London traffic question is the fac
that when people are fighting 70

DARING MAN SAVES
TWO FROM DROWNING

Thrilling rescues of a man and wo-
man from drowning in the Willamette
river, when their canoe capsized near
the Oaks last night, was made by P.
A. Layman, clerk at the Seward Ho-
tel, says the Oregonian. He swan
from Creason's boathouse into the
middle of the stream and held up the
drowning woman, allowing her es-
cort to hold on to the canoe until a
rowboat arrived and took them all
safely to shore.
A party was given at the Creason
houseboat last night and Layman was
one of the guests. About 10 o'clock
]. Samuels, who has an adjoining
houseboat, and Miss Clara Creason
started out for a canoe ride. They
had gone only few minutes when the
gaiety of the party was suddenly
brought to a stop by the screams OF
a woman. A light on the deck of the
houseboat reflected its rays on the
river and far out in the stream, the
man and woman could be seen strug'
Cling near the capsized canoe.
Layman threw off his coat, sprane
out of the door and plunged into the
water. He is an expert swimmer anc
his powerful strokes soon brough
him alongside the drowning pair
Selling the woman, who was gaspins
and flounderng in the water, he lifted
her head up so that she could catcl
her breath, at the same time direct
ing Samuels to hold onto the canoe
Several men hastily launched a row
boat and followed Layman. Miss Crea
son and the two men were placed il
the boat and taken to shore. Neithe

TREASURY OFFICIALS FERRET
OUT BAD BANKING METHODS

Washington.-Those wise birds of
the treasury department, the national
bank examiners, under a plan devils
ed by Lawrence C. Murray, comp
troller, of the currency, hold district
meetings for discussion of the best
methods for handling hard problems
in their work. In their investigations
they are expected to find bad loans,
lax methods, embezzlement skillfully
hidden in the records or possible vi
olation of the many laws governing
the national banks.
At a recent meeting Charles H.
Meyer, national bank examiner for
Chicago, told how best to round up
the bills receivable in a bank. AS
to the use OF an adding machine he
remarked:
This adding machine list must be
always run by the examiner himself,
as we are all familiar with the ease
with which one can be fooled by
plugging the machine"
"The methods to be pursued" he
said. "in determining the standing
of the various borrowers, and the val
ue Of all lines granted, are matters
with which all are familiar, but going
over the bills in the presence of the
board Of directors is as we all know
! one of the safest and best methods
of arriving at sore spots especially
in country banks, for you will invari-
ably find some director from among
the board who seems to be learning
something new while you are doing
this, and he will be the man who as
I sis's you the most.
81 think my fellow-examiners will
agree with me that something akin
[ to a sixth sense is necessary in de-
. termining the value Of a banks pa
/ per. 7 need only cite a case which our
chairman, Mr.. Rorebeck, told Of a

tion. These men should take up in
succession each subject with which
the tariff deals and investigate the
conditions OF production here and
abroad they should find out the
facts and not merely accept the state
ments OF interested parties; and they
should report to congress on each sub
ject as soon as that subject has been
covered. Then action can be taken
az once on the particular subject con-
cerned, while the commission i'm
mediately proceeds to investigate an.
other. BY these means log-rolling
would be avoided and each subject
treated on its merits, while there
would be no such shock to general
industry as is implied in the present
custom of making sweeping changes
in the, whole tariff at once. Finally,
it should be the duty of some govern
mental department or bureau to in
vestigate the conditions in he vari-
1ous protected industries, and see that
the laborers really are getting the
benefit of the tariff supposed to be
enacted in their interest. Moreover
20 insure good treatment abroad, we
should keep the maximum and mini
mum provision.
The same principle of first-clas:
outside commission should be ap'
piled to river and harbor legislation
At present a river and harbor bill
like a tariff bill, tends to be settled
by a squabble among lot of bis
self interests and little selfish in
terests, with scant regard to the one
really vital interest, that Of the gen
eral public. In this matter the ma
tional legislature would do we'll t
profit by the example of Massachu
sets. Formerly Massachusetts, deal
with its land and harbor legislation
! just as at Washington tariff an
river and harbor laws have beel
dealt with; and there was just tn
same pulling and hauling, the sam
bargaining and log-rolling, the sam
subordination OF the general interes
to various special interests. Las
year Governor Draper took up tn
matter. and on his recommendatio
the legislature turned the whole bus
mess over to a commission of experts
and all trouble and scandal forthwith
disappeared. Incidentally, this seem
to me to be a first-class intance c
progressive legislation.
