Socialists and 1912.

To the man who thinks on both
sides of subject, the local successes
of the socialists indicate merely that
men under the sharp stress OF dis
content and unrest are likely to turn
to most any theory or experiment for
a time, but TO the socialists 1t is quite
another matter. They read in the
recent election returns formidable
growth Of their cause and its ulti-
mate unfolding into real political
power. They believe that the cleo
tion of several mayors is but the
eliminating force of that larger vic
tory which centers in Mayor Seidel
and Congressman Berger OF Milwau-
kee, and that their movement is
eventually to be all-embracing. They
do not admit that in both Berger and
Seidel. instead of scoring victories,
they have encountered defeat, be-
cause neither has been able to make
good on what he promised, or on
the platform on which he was
elected. Congressman Berger, him
self, on the floor of the house said
that our constitution is In antagon-
ism with the fundamentals of sooinl-
ism, and therefore before socialism
can hope to operate with fruitfG' re-
suits. Il must have a new sphere Of
legal action.
But all this Is aside to the rank
and file of the socialist party flushed
with the Joy of this apparent
triumph. Therefore we may look for
the first real competition, we
imagine, among the socialists for the
presidential, nomination next year.
Who will get It? viii Berger or
Seidel, or one of these eight or ten
small town mayors? One is prone
to believe that enthusiasm will be
entirely too high TO let It so by de-
| fault as usual to Eugene v. Debs, and
( yet, since Debs has borne the heat
and brunt of the day in hopeless en-
deavors. he may be and doubtless is
ready to try again.

FIGURESON EXPORTS
NOT EXAGGERATED
Statistician Austin Denies
Delegates Charges.

Statistician o. P. Austin, in refuting
the charge made at the Pan-American
Commercial Congress yesterday. that ex>
port figures are padded. gave substantial
proof Of the groundlessness of the
charges.
Mr.. Austin was taken by surprise when,
at the conclusion of his speech, Francis ].
Lowe, delegate representing the export
trade of New York, read an affidavit
from Charles S. Price. former employe
in the office of Mr.. Austin. to the effect
that export figures are purposely exag-
gerated by the inclusion of improper
statistics, and. in consequence, are un-
trustworthy.
Mr.. Lowe said that the evidence of the
great increase of the export trade Of the
United States, is not apparent to OBJ
servers, but, on the contrary, there are
plain proofs that it Is decreasing.
The information from which statistics
are compiled, Mr.. Austin explained, is
obtained from the custom houses of the
country. The accuracy, explicitness, and
completeness of the statistics are all in
creasing every year, and the figures is
sued by the United States on this sub
ject are more trustworthy and instructive
than are those of any other country in
the world.
Mr.. Austin also said that the accusing
witness had occupied only a subordinate
position in the clerical force. had no
opportunity to get knowledge on the SUBJ
tect, and had been dismissed in conse-
quence OF alleged Irregularities in the
foreign mailing division of the Bureau
OF Statistics.

DIRECTORS OF BANKS
ADVISED IN LECTURE
Oscar Telling, National Examiner, Calls Attention to
Serious Evils hat Have Come Under His ObSer-
vation- Advocates Methods of Reform

! Mr.. Telling. who quoted from his wide
experiences many instances where,
| through the conditions that are prone to
prevail in such banks, ruin had over
taken the institutions, or had been mar
rowly averted only by the magnanimous
support of other capitalists who came to
the rescue Of the depositors.
The great remedy, or rather the pre-
ventive. of such conditions, was, in the
opinion of Mr.. Telling. and also Of
Comptroller Murray, the institution OF a
bank examiner in every clearing house,
who, by the intimate knowledge of the
affairs of all the banks in the COM
munity, would be able to detect and
correct all instances of over-Ioaning or
Of practices other than those of con-
servative banking methods. This would
put stop to the indiscretions caused by
fear of competition.
SaIutary Innovations
No objection could be entertained by
banks whose policy is sound and meth
DDS conservative to the adoption of what
Mr.. Telling regarded as one Of the most
salutary innovations that could possibly
be devised to protect every one in the
community from the disastrous effects OF
bank failures through indiscreet admin
istration.
The clearing house is capable of being
something more than an Office where
checks may be exchanged. That is but
a very small and unimportant part of
the great and useful place, which the
clearing house may easily be made to
hll, in every community. If Comptroller
Murray could have his way, Mr. Telling
said. there would be a bank examiner
in every clearing house in the country.
Among those present were r. A. Wal
ker, president, and Floyd Z. Davis, vice
president, of the Lincoln National Bank;
n. H. Shea, director of the Commercial
National Bank; Owen T. Reeves, ma
