good man to put in charge Of a busi-
ness. He comes to like the idea of sue
cess and he is enthusiastic in push
ing his employers interests, partly
because it adds to his own success,
and largely because the spirit of win
ming has taken hold of him.
Therefore, when 1 see young man
wasting his money and opportunities L
feel like appealing to him personally
to try another tack. 1 believe in the
personal appeal to the sense and am
bition which are in every normal hui
man being. In these days Of good
wages it is easy for the average young
person to save a little money regular
Iy. and I believe in going after them
when they first start out to earn
money, before they have begun to
throw away that portion which re-
mains after their necessary expenses
have been met.
I believe bankers should help to ed
ucate people along the line of saving,
and if they can't do so by personal ap-
peal or argument they might help
along the good cause by producing and
spreacing literature. Show them now
the start can best be made. Show
them that the higher class of banks
are absolutely safe. Taking 1t Tor
granted that anyone WHO 10 lOI q LOOA
believes in money saving as a gem
eral proposition, show them how it is
to their interest to begin saving at
once. Point out the effect in steadying
ones own character, in securing the
confidence and regard of employers
and neighbors and in getting little
money ahead for a home or for use in
case of sickness.
A Lanker ought to be able to talk
and write as an expert on small in
vestments, and he should always be
ready to assist patrons in making safe
and profitable investments. This Is O.
matter that will appeal to many per-
sons who are not thrilled with the
thought of keeping a lot of money
idle in a bank. But the banker must
show in clear and persuasive way
that there is no use talking OF an IN
y stment until a start has been made
in saying. Then he is getting down to
business Efforts along this line VIII
prove effective three times out of five
il YOU are dealing with young men
personally and they will not be whoLy
wasted even If the entire subject IS
presented on paper.

SECRET OF PROSPERITY
IS THE SAVING SPIRIT
Great Aim of Bankers Is to Get
Children Interested in
the Rainy Day
BY NELSON n. LANIPERT
Vice President Fort Dearborn National
Bank, Chicago


With the practical banker the whole
story of money saving consists of a
successful effort to get young people
interested in the idea. The day is
past when we need to argue on the
wisdom of saving for time of need.
What we want now is the best plan
for reaching those who believe in saw
ing and yet do not save. Theorizing
has served it's purpose and practical
education or some effective propelling
power must be found to bring young
men and women into the ranks of sys-
tematic money savers.
l have noticed ever since the begin
ming of my banking experience that
when the work of education has been
properly done-when the virus of saw
ing is actually at work in the veins
young men and women soon acquire
a new view of life and become hap
pier and more useful citizens. 1t does
not take long to arouse enthusiasm
over a growing bank account and the

Lorimer Wins Fight For Seat.

LoTIHlSI WITS TI9Ht FOT 0edts
The senate, by vote of As to 40,
refused to unseat William Lorimer, of
Illinois. This action brings to close,
at least SO far as the present ses-
sion of congress is concel ned, fight
that has been waged for almost year
against the Illinois senator upon the
charge that his election to the senate
was accomplished by bribery.
Senator Lorimer was saved by the
votes of men who will retire from the
senate on March 4. Nearly every one
of the lame ducks voted for him.
Here is the list of the retiring sena,
tors whose votes insured Lorimer's
hold on his seat: Bulkeley, of Connec-
ticut; Burrows, of Michigan; Carter,
of Montana; Depew, of New York;
Dick, of Ohio; Hale, of Maine; kean.
Ia New Jersey; Piles. of Washington,
and Scott, of West Virginia.
Lorimer's opponents apparently do
not intend to end their fight against
him with this action by the senate
Some of them have been limiting that
new testimony will be produced in the
next session of congress and an at
tempt will be made to reopen the case
upon this.

pearance of the famous rr1ma donna,
Mime. Jeanne Jomelli. Within the

Jomeili has come to stand for the best
that musical art has to offer. and few,
II any, American critics will now VEN
ture to dispute the claims OF the great
Dutch soprano to q high place among
the greatest Of contemporary singers.
This rise Of new prima donna is al
ways matter Of interest and note.
and particularly to those who sight
ed her afar, and while she was stu
comparatively unknown, pinned their
faith to her ultimate trtumphal sue
cess. The present rush OF all the big
cities to shower honory on Jomelli is
gratifying In q high degree. She has
been welcome visitor In every city
In which she has sung, and from all
appearances will receive at the festi-
val to be given here on April rs and
20, the most enthusiastic reception
ever extended to . concert singer in
this city. Everybody II anxious to see
and hear Jomeili. and those who have
already had that pleasure are promis-
