Controller Murray Uses Moral Suasion
with National Banks.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Controller Murray
has undertaken to destroy by moral sua-
sion the practice of banks of permitting
customers to overdraw their accounts. He
instructed the national bank examiners to-
day TO take up the question with the ma
tional banks throughout the country, call
Ing TO their attention laws enacted by the
states on tho subject and a decision by the
Supreme Court OF the United States severe
ly criticisng the practice.
The national bank act is silent on the
question of overdrafts, and thts Controller
expects to accomplish the abolition Ct the
custom by pointing out its evils. The over
drafts In national banks. as reported on the
calls of the Controller averaged 100000
during the last five years. The high mark
was $50 ,0D0.00 and the lowest amount re-
ported was 100000 in that period

The Bath Trust Indictments.

President Taft gives warning in his
message Of a vigorous enforcement of
the Sherman act against all dangerous
or harmful trusts. There Is to be no
running amuck," of course, but the
question of desirable notifications of
the act is not to be permitted to block
the prosecution of wilful builders of
oppressive monopolies.
The Detroit indictments in the bath
tub and sink trust furnish an illustra-
ton of the meaning Of the trust para
graphs Of the message. Assuming
that the department of justice has the
facts straight" the defendants could
not in any event expect the smallest
benefit from amendments of the Sher-
man law, If they had no other pur-
pose than that of fleeing consumers,
destroying competition, debating to
jobbers, raising prices regardless Of
any economic considerations; if there
was no thought of saving and improv-
ing and sharing gains of combination
with consumers, then the trust was of
the sort that should be dissolved In
the interest of honest and legitimate
commerce. The criminal indictments
are of the sort that bring home the
truth that conscious violation of the
law means personal guilt-Chicago
Record-Herald.

The Oldest kllckitat.

Jake Hunt, the Oldest living Klicki.
tat Indian known, lies at deaths door
at his home adjoining this town east
of here. The old Indian is reputed to
be more than 100 years of age.
Years ago an Indian village stood
where the Hunt family nov carries on
a general farming business. All that
is left of the old settlement is a little
church, a totem pole and numerous
mounds where the Klickitats lie who
could not reach the century mark. Old
Jake says that this was the Indians
paradise before the advent of early
white settlers.
Jake Hunt is destined not to die a
poor Indian. His lands are as rich and
productive as any in the valley and
command a high price. He is said to
have married times during his
long career, but there will be only a
widoW and a few children to fall heir
to bis valuable property.-Husum Cor

1T Is A MISTAKE

Many have the idea that anything
will sell If advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, O
few sales might be made by advertis-
.An~san absolutely worthless article
but it is only the article that Is
bought again and again that pays.
An example Of the big success Of a
worthy article Ia the enormous sale
that has grown up for C~ascarets
Candy Cathartic. This wonderful rec
ord is the result of great merit sue
c~essfully made known through per-
sistent advertising and the mouth-to-
mouth recommendation given Cas-
carets by it's friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pt-
rates prey on the unsuspecting pub
lie, by marketing fake tablets similar
in appearance to Cascarets. Care
should always be exercised in pur-
chasing we'll advertised goods, espe-
cially an article that has a national
sale like C~ascarets. Do not allow o
substitute to be palmed off on you.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

IT have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, 1 always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of a lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was af-
ficted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. l told her to get
at once a set Of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be SO painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
l have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children's f9ces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
NV h,,ehon ho1 n n,1Dooticr an hic
arm and | used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
I began to apply the Ointment.
Last May I had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. I cut
the nail out of the cavity it made, and
Of course applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights 1t was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago l had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. l have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. I will gladly furnish the
names of the people referred to above
II anybody doubts what I say" (Sign-
ed) Mrs. Margaret Hederson, II High

CAN DO NO REAL GOOD
IDEA OF TARIFF COMMISSION A
MERE suBTERFueE.
Well Described by the New York
Journal Of Commerce as a "De-
fusion and a snare"-sub-
Iect Too Partisan.

The New York Journal of Com
merce, which has always doubted the
value Of the tariff commissions worth.
thinks that 1t Is better to keep the
present tariff board than to adopt any
of the changes which have been pro-
posed In congress. OF the Longworth
bill for a bipartisan commission Of FIVE
members, not more than three Of
whom shall be Of the same party. 1t
says:
That kind Of device Is a delusion
and a snare, and unless we can have
a tariff commission made up Of eco
nomic experts and free from partisan
bias, we may as well leave the matter
to the regular committees Of congress,
1t will come to the same thing in the
end. The majority Of the committee
will control the investigations and the
recommendations, and the minority
will be impotent."
Concerning the suggestion that the
work be turned over to a tariff bu-
reau with a single head in n Of the
administrative departments, prefera-
bly, the treasury, the Journal says:
That would be no less one-sided.
So long as the administration is de-
voted to a certain tariff policy its bu-
reaus would work for the support and
not for the reform of that policy.
There would be no independence in its
inquiries and no value in its recon-
mendations. The bureaus Of the vari
Gus departments have all along been
working in behalf Of the established
tariff. The consular service Of the
state department, the bureau of manu-
features and the bureau of statistics
In the department of commerce and
labor are continually furnishing ma
terial to support the policy Of the ad
m~inistration, which has heretofore
been the policy of congress in the
matter of tariff, as Of everything else
Independent investigation and compe
tent criticism are not to me expected
of an official bureau"
In other words, in the official blu
reaus, as In congress, party policy Il
regarded as of a good deal more impor
lance than public policy. Like mas
ter, like man, and the important thing
in the eyes of bureau or other politi
cal employees is, first, to hold theil
jobs, and, second, in order to holt
their jobs, to keep the party in its job
| IN -lL-4. - ~ ..u-1 - -n-I1 !,
appear that whatever the party doe'
Is right. Thus it can hardly be ex
pected that a bipartisan commission
which can be controlled by a maiorit.
Of p%artisans, or a partisan bureau
would be of much service in the in
vestigation of a subject SO intensel,
partisan as the tariff.
