FROM OTHER PENS
MORALS OF BANKERS.

The bankers of Illinois agree in teIe-
graphing the legislature that to COM
pei banks to make their records public
is both wrong and dangerous. Interest
in the matter is due to tine arrest of
Edward Tflden for refusal to show his
books in the Lorimer bribery case.
No rule of big business has been
more generally respected than that of
the secrecy of banking. Probably it
has been violated more than once to
the advantage of an Individual, but
when the peoples interest appears,
publicity is always wrong and danger
Gus. The bank records of the United
States will show traces of practically
all of the corruption which the coun-
try has known. In some cases they
will be only inferential. Yet their pcs
session by the authorities would be of
great value. When money is used dis
honestly bankers know something
about it. They know who gets it and
they can make a shrewd guess as to its
origin. Big bills, big rolls of currency
and big checks are not in evidence for
nothing at the time when big politics
is in progress. Big business deplores
the fact, but considers it wrong and,
dangerous to say anything about it

CULTIvArING COURTESY.


The Santa Fe railroad has done a
good thing in issuing circular en-
Joining its conductors and other Off
Gals to exercise courtesy toward pas
Sengers. Not that the subordinate Of
f1c1als OF that road are sinners above
others in their demeanor toward the
public. As a rule the men employed
in responsible positions on all the
railroads are cOnsiderate and obliging,
yet there is room for Improvement,
not only on railroad and steamboat
lines, but also in all concerns where
employees come into contact with the
PUBIC. In the police force of some
of our large cities there is oftentimes
a painful lack of civility, to say
nothing Of courtesy.
The patience of the many officials
IS often sorely tried by the foolish
questions frequently put to them and
by the business which many people
show, but it must be remembered that
what seem foolish to the initiated do
not seem SO to the people putting
them. Every public servant in dis
charging his duties should bear in
mind that it is well to put oneself in
the other persons place. This would
result in greater forbearance and
courtesy.
If by courtesy is meant the giving
to others what is their due and Civ
ing it in kindly spirit, then, it is a
quality which may well be practiced
more widely than at present. In the
many people are not sufficiently con-
siderate of the rights and feelings of
others. There is too frequently
brusqueness of speech and manner
which hurts. The old fashioned court
esy of our forefathers may have been
little too elaborate but some re-
turn of it would be welcome.-Miani

COTTON MARKET
IRREGULAR ONE
BY Associated Press.

New York, June 22.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of SOIL
points under local bear pressure and
southern selling encouraged by reports
of further scattering showers in the
southwest and predictions of a very fav-
orable government crop report on July
3. There was good deal of covering
around the initial figures and October
rallied from 1901 to 1910 before the end
of the first hour. However, there ap-
peared to be very little aggressive buying
for the long account and while prices
ruled steady during the middle of the
morning the tone of the market was more
or less unsettled.
The western belt forecast, calling for
generally fair weather in Texas, except
showers in Southeast portions seemed to
inspire a little more active buying by
mand from spot houses was noted with
rumors that spinners had buying orders
in the market for new crop positions,
just a little over the 13-cent level. At
any rate the market was firmer and
prices at midday were at practically the
positions, while the older crop was I'M

Old crop positions sold about to 9
points higher early in the noon hour and

buying, but there was no Improvement in
general demand and the market during
the early afternoon was irregular with
prices ruling about 8 points higher to
points lower. Private wires reported
showers to-day at three or four points

Cotton spot closed quiet, 10 points
