ASSASSINATION

"H charred bodies that lie in the
ruins of the Times building are
Il not only a reminder that the
greatest foes of union labor are not
without but within its ranks. They
are also a reminder that lawless vio-
lence, and especially its extreme man
Hesitation, assassination, never ac-
complishes the object at which it aims.
AS ''the blood of the martyrs is
the seed of the church," so the mar
tyrs of the Times horror are a seed
from which will spring a popular ret
ribution for militant unionism which
it has more reason to fear than the
special object of its aim. Public sem
timent, which in this country is the
arbiter of human destinies,, will for
a long time give a cold and unsym-
pathetic ear to all radicalism.
Assassination has never changed
history" said Disraeli, referring to
the murder of Lincoln. There are
man, instances in which assassination
produced the opposite effects from
those the assassins or their instiga-
tors wanted. The loss of the Neither
lands, the hindrance of his projects
for the conquest of France and Eng
land, and the branding of his name
with eternal infamy are Philip lis
gains from the assassination by one
of Philips tools of William the Silent.
BY killing Marat, a monster whose
taking off it seemed would be a pub
lie service, Charlotte Corday's dagger,
in the words of Lamartine, Opened
the veins of France" through the
vengeance the terrorists wreaked on
their enemies. The nihilist bomb
which killed Alexander II in 1881 re-
moved the reformer and the emanci-
pator of 24,000,vvO serfs and put in
his place a gloomy despot. Assassina-
ton has been going on in Russia for a
century, and autocracy still reigns.
The murder of Mckinley, intended
to be a protest against restrictive
laws, frightened the legal cords around
the element that mistakenly argue for
greater individual freedom, and made
the world say: eff this is what more
freedom means, let us have less," and
the bars went UP higher against i'm
migrants for whom the assassin
thought he was clearing the way to
a freer land. A while ago an anarchist
shot Denver priest at the altar. 1t
was a protest against ecclesiasticism,
but the world said that with whatever
faults it might have ecclesiasticism
was infinitely to be preferred to the
hideous license to kill that is the
creed of anarchy.
The lawless being who kills to
achieve his ends wants license for him
self and would deny freedom of action
or speech to another. His viewpoint
and philosophy are so abhorrent to
the normal reason and emotions that
so long as the human mind and heart
are constituted as God makes them
the reaction against violence will
doubly defeat the purposes it seeks
to accomplish.
Out of such dreadful calamities as
that of Saturday morning comes good
in this way: They reawaken dormant
public sentiment to its duty to uphold
order to strengthen the hands of the
law, to turn deaf ear to specious
vagaries that tend to weaken society's
safeguards against dangerous license.

OUR BANKER GUESTS

+ Os ANGELES welcomes to her
best hospitality today one of the
~ most remarkable bodies of men
in the world who are joined together
for their mutual interest in the Amer
lean Bankers association. In some
respects they are the most remarkable
and important in the world. No other
country on earth can assemble body
of men who are the custodians and
stewards of 25,OOO,0OO bank accounts,
representing the stupendous total of
more than $14,5oO 100000 of deposited
wealth.
If that fabulous sum isn't big enough
to hold the reader spellbound for a
while, then let him ponder this bigger
truth: These guests of Los Angeles
represent f1duciary institutions with
total resources of more than twenty
two billions of dollars! The immensely
and richness Of the United States are
epitomized in this organization Of
keen, alert, able and kindly captains
of our wealth.
Some figures are dull reading, but
to the thoughtful person nothing can
be more interesting and genuinely in
forming that a brief summary of
what these guests represent when in
their deliberations they discuss the
problems upon whose wise solution
hangs the whole structure of the coun-
try's business, not to speak of the sta
bility of more than 22,500 banks.
The capital stock Of these institu-
tions represents a total Of S1S00, 100000
IN round numbers, and they have sur
plus to the amount of S1,326,0o0,000 in
addition to S5OS, 100000 of undivided
profits. Individual deposits subject to
check stand at the large total Of
Sc $50 .OOO, 900 and savings deposits at
$4 926. .OOO. 900. The amount due ma
tional banks is $1,1O3, 100000, and due
to other banking institutions $780,
100000
Bond holdings by these institutions
are S792, 900 900 of United States bonds,
81 091, QUO of state. county and mu-
nicipal bonds, Sl,560, 100000 of railroad
bonds. and SS46, 100000 of other bonds,
and $3.50, 600. 600 Of stocks.
Loans ana discounts lncluue SOoUi-
OOO, 900 of demand loans not secured by
collateral, 81, ,939 0000OO demand loans
secured by collateral, S2,539, 900, 900
time loans on two or more names not
secured by collateral 81, 351 OO0,0 sin
gle name paper, 81 O36 0O0 600 time loans
secured by collateral and $1,396, 000 900
of other loans. including those secured
by real estate.
Actual cash held by the banks
amounts to $1,451, 600, 900, and checks
and other cash items to an additional
S57 900 900. in addition to which the
national banks had $3S,000,00O cash in
the per cent redemption fund.
The people of Los Angeles would be
dull indeed if they did not feel the
honor of entertaining the American
bankers. This is for the nonce the
financial center of America. 1t is
true that back east have been left a
lot of good men who are ably running
things for the absentees, but here
are the big, directing brains ana what
they think and do and say while with
us will be followed with the keenest
interest and appreciation.

(Philadelphia
To the Editor of the North American:
VIII you not kindly read this in-
closure with your careful consideration
and endeavor to put this scheme into
practical shape? 1t is not confidential,
and I believe the idea to be practical.
If worked out to its ultimate possi-
bilities, it would prove, in my judg
ment, a godsend to all-the rich and
poor. FREDERICK A. RIEHLE.
Philadelphia, Sept. II.
The communication referred to in
this letter is addressed to Doctor Ely
and reads as follows:
Referring to my interview with you
the other day, you asked me to reduce
the subject of the same to writing.
My idea is to endeavor to form an
association something in the line Of
the Christian Endeavor The object of
the association is twofold. The first,
to improve the condition of the cities
both as to appearance and to healthful
conditions.
Secondly-To give people otherwise
incapacitated for hard work, viz: old
men and old woman or weakly ones,
and to thousands of children.
The citizens of large cities, in this
country at least, have waited in vain
kept clean. I do not refer to the
sweeping of the streets, but to the
further neatness that would be Sc
cured by having the fronts of houses.
viz: the pavements and even the
streets, opposite the homes, kept alb
solutely clean, viz: from any small
articles that children could pick up and
remove. The cities of Berlin, Dresden
and others in Europe are kept very
much neater than any cities that I
have observed in the United States. In
these cities 1 have seen old women
cleaning with their fingers the weeds
from the flower beds in the parks and
streets where such flower beds exist
The pinching of poverty in European
cities compels the old people to pick
up everything-papers, rags, little
twigs, dead leaves, etc.-from every
place within their reach. and this Sc
cures the tidiness in these cities. Now
that poverty does not compel people
to gather all these accumulations, my
thought is that the hope of reward
would help keep the streets and cities
clean and tidy. My idea is to form
an association for this purpose and
call it the City Beautiful. A reward in
the shape OF trifling pleasures and
recreations, such as the Lemon Hill

rotting of the Examiner has been a
serious loss. Time was when that
paper did good service for the cause
of better city government. Now, when
an issue like that of lower lighting

above a whisper. Recently 1t had an

referred to half a dozen times as
