TRIBUTE To THEODORE ROOSEVELT

forced to solve. Those who have given
much study TO the problem, and whose
opinions should have weight, as a rule,
favor the government subsidy plan.
am inclined to think thfs plan the solu-
ton of the difficulty.
FavOrs Central Bank
What revision of our banking sys-
tenn will be suggested, in the report
OF the monetary commission, is still I'M
known. That there are evidences, crop
ping out, favOring a central bank is
apparent. According to natural law,
such institutions have evolved from the
banking systems of all highly civilized
governments. That our system needs
revision, 1 think, most informed bank
ers will agree. | am frank 70 confess
that I believe a national central bank,
properly organized and safeguarded,
will furnish that protection we need
against panics. That it can be made
practical, safe and sound bank, respond
ing TO the needs OF the people, and free
from political, and other baneful in
fluences, I. think, there is no question.
1.-The Aldrich-Vreeland law was enact
ed as temporary preventive of panics.
This act will terminate July 1, 1914.
The banks, fortunately, have never had
to avail themselves of its provisions.
Much Illogical and unjust criticism has
been passed on this measure. A man,
sound in limb and body. needs neither
crutch nor medicine. A broken leg
would put him on crutches, and sickness
would demand medicine. To censure him
for providing crutch and medicine,
against accident and sickness, would be
folly. The Aldrich-Vreeland bill Is the
crutch and medicine for our man,
Finance. And Finance today is sound
in limb and body. But prudence prompts
US to provide for emergencies. Before
the expiration of the AIStich- Vreeland
law, let us provide a permanent crutch
and medicine for Finance.
Postal Savings Banks.
ut is very doubtful if the postal
savings bank bill will become law
If passed, L do not think it will ma
terially affect the banks of Texas. Its
effects, if felt at all, would be in the
large centers where there Is a large
foreign population. The minute detail |
and red tape methods essential TO such !
q. system would prevent its patronage by |
our people. 1 entertain no fear of its !
affecting our banking interests, in the |
event it should become a law"

How Many Women
Destroy Their Hair?

CFrom the London Saturday Review
One Of the best known hairdressers
in London--much patronized by royalty
has the following to say: Frequent
washing of the head with soap and
water or prepared shampoos makes the
hair brittle and causes 1t to lose its
color and split at the ends.
ANY person desiring abundant, lus
trous hair should use a dry shampoo
frequently Mix 4 ounces of orris root
with I ounces of therox. Sprinkle
tablespoonful Of this mixture evenly
upon the head; then brush the powder
thoroughly through the hair.
-Therox and orris root keep the hair
light and fluffy, and beautifully lus-'
trous-it heightens, but does not change,
the natural color of the hair. Therox
is the only thing know that will
produce a growth of hair"

BANK EXAMINERS ARE THE
GOATS OF THE CONVENTION
They Lord 1t Over the Banker at 9th
e. Times. But at Conventions
Well They Are Not Tt

Bank examiners are the Angoras of
the convention-Angora being French
for goat For 364 days in each year
the bankers of the state are as meek
and humble as those who are supposed
? 10 inherit the earth when bank ex-
aniner' is mentioned. The fact Is that
these state and national bank examiner
fellows who do all the smoking have
the banking boys eating out of their
hands except at convention time.
But it's kings excuse this week
The examiners are here but there is
none Of the usual wailing and gnash-
ing of teeth which customarily accom-
panies one of their semioccasional Wis
its. AS fine a lot of chaps as the
greatest state in the greatestest, etc,
ever produced, these examiners are en-
Joying their ba-ba role with all the
pleasure they have in checking up
trembling cashiers books.
r L. Van Zandt. is the herd leader
OF the bunch of examiners, and what he
can't think of, his brother, K. NJ, who
IS a banker in the City of Mexico, can.

DRASTIC ACTION EXPECTED.

recording to rumors on the heights this
morning, the result OF outside influence
being brought to bear on the base ball

When the historians of the future. writ

the important eras and epochs in the
sports development. they will have to
refer to the decade between 1901-191O as
having been productive of the most sub

say that base bali has progressed more
from every angle In the last ten years
than 1t did in the preceding thirty, and
