Invariably, Withdrawals are accom-

Friends Help.
Friends aid friends Is one of the
gratifying and pleasurable incidents
of contest work. Every day the con-
test mans belief in true friendship is
increased by some such incident of
the days work. Friends come into
the Office and give their opinion why
some candidate Is most deserving and
worthy In the attempt to secure one
of the trips. And 1t is not mere
friendship of the boastinG kind. II
is the friendship that leaves its rec
ord in the vote score by the demand
for so many months subscription
hence-so many hundreds or thou
sands of votes. Among the contest
ants, while the competition of the
vote getting Is already being felt,
there is the best of friendly spirit
shown. Out of this raceway of
friendship must come worthy selec-
tions, .
Sincerity Starts support.
Back of the support that is being
given to the contestants is always
something to show that the support
was secured by their certainty in the
sincerity of some individual candi-
date.
Sincerity Is almost all that Is nee
essary to be shown by any contestant
to get the support of scores Of friends.
Just so soon as friends know that
a candidate is determined to be listed
among the most active candidates, just
so soon does support begin to be
shown for that candidate.

UP or down at entrances and included be
tween ornamental columns or pilasters that
are at least three feet high; base courses,

Making Banks
Safe Offers a
Knotty Problem
DFPOSITORS ARE WARY
Many Plans Tried to Keep
Money Circulating With
out Too Strict Bank
ing Laws.

The amazing progress banking has
made in the United States is shown by
the fact that there are now in this coun-
try some twenty-slx thousand banking
institutions. with total individual de-
posits of nearly S14,OOO.OO0OO0 The re-
suits Of rapid growth in the earning
capacity of the American people are re-
fiected in these statistics.
Only very small proportion OF this
immense sum, however, actually remains
idle in the vaults of the banks. 1t is
loaned out by the banks and used in
financing the myriad industries Of the
country. The money thus loaned or In
vested is largely the money Of the de-
positor, who has the right to call for it
at any time. Thus II Is that in place OF
actual coin or currency the bank vaults
are filled with bonds, stocks, mortgage
deeds and different kinds Of commercial

IMPROVING BANKS ASSETS.

Another plan for effective banking re-
forms is the result OF the personal initi-
ative of some OF the nations foremost
bankers and financiers. 1t is proposed
10 improve the character of banking
assets and protect depositors by the
careful audit and the insurance OF the
assets Of such banks as are proven
sound after inspection and audit. AT the
beginning Of the new year a trust com
pany will be organized under the laws
OF the District OF Columbia with the title
OF THE National Audit Company with
William Barrett Ridgely. former Con-
troller Of the Currency, as president.
Charles A. Conant, who, as treasurer of
the Credit Clearing House. has long adj
vocated the exchange Of credit informa-
ton among banks. will also be an officer
of the new company. Mr.. Conant ex-
planned To a Tribune reporter, at his
Liberty street offices. the object or this
unique institution

IS and other legitimate claimants.
HELPING THE SMALL BANK.

Mr.. Conant went on to say that the
proiect was primarily for the benefit OF
the small bank with a capital Of from
100000 to S10O0,0OO. He believes 1t
will greatly aid the development OF
trade, especially in agricultural districts,
inasmuch as the Audit Company will
lend its securities, on which bank notes
NAV be based, to- the smaller banks at
crop-moving times or in other cases or
emergency, to be used as means OF
taking out additional notes. In this way
the member bank will be relieved or
anxiety as to a deficiency Of currency
and will contribute it's share toward
making impossible a currency famine
like that of 1907.
p. C. Wadsworth, another director In
the company, says that this new sys-
tenn Of bicentral banking will give a
depositor absolute confidence that, at
any time, he can get his money from
the bank" Also ut will give legiu-
mate borrower the confidence that he
can get money from a bank whenever he
needs it for legitimate and proper pur
poses" A double feeling Of confidence
would thus be built up at both ends OF
the banking business, which would be
a great step toward more perfect sys-
tenn of banking

been attempted. A general govern
mental guarantee, applicable to all

been discredited and voted down at the
polls. because II was believed by many
TO put a premium on reckless banking
one of the most notable advances along
this line has been the authorization
through legislation Of the establishment
of postal savings bank system for
every state in the Union. These postal
banks. with the credit of the government
behind them, will greatly Increase de-
posits. It is expected, by drawing forth

BASIS OF ALL BANKING.

The great fundamental principle
upon which all bankers do business
depends upon the theory that all of their
depositors will not call for their money
during any one day, week or month Of
the year. But sometimes the theory
doesn't work. sometimes public conf
dence IN a bank or banks is shaken, and
their depostors gather in great numbers
and demand their money at once. At
such times the banks must call in their
loans or convert their securities into
cash. usually at sacrifice; hence, the
whole banking system and the whole in
du- world are seriously hurt by any
los Il confidence.
To curtail the lending power of the
banks by insisting on maintenance Of
larger cash reserves would handicap the
Industrial development Of the country.
The question which must be solved.
therefore, Is. How can depositors be pro-
tected from loss without restricting the
proper lending power OF the banks?
