MORGAN HELPS
SAVE The BANK
Financisrs Take Over Three
Institutions.

New York, Jan. 9.-After Iorty-eight
hours of conference between repre-
~sentatives Of all the big banking
houses and the clearing mousse it was
announced that J. r. Morgan & Co.
have guaranteed the s~olvency OF the
Twelfth Ward bank and the Nine
teenth Ward bank. that the Equitable
Trust company has bought the Madi-
son Trust company and that these
three institutions have been shorn OF
their Carnegie Trust company connec-
lions.
The announcement was made by
formal statements. They make 1t clear
that whatever danger had been cast
on the three banks by the failure OF
the Carnegie Trust company had been
removed.
Work For Grand Jury, Perhaps.
The Carnegie Trust company, which
was closed Saturday by the state
banking department, is now beyond
hope of salvation. With respectable
securities to OFFER 1t could have had
on the very night before the superin-
tendent Of banking descended upon 1t
at least S1,0O0,000. but these securities
were not Forthcoming. The deposits III
the company had shrunk from $18,-
100000 at the time Of the company's
greatest prosperity In 1909 to hardly
more than s1,500.000 in Individual de-
posits subject to check at the time OF
the failure. To meet this steady drain
the company was forced to sacrifice
what reliable securities 1t possessed.
The banking department has called
In District Attorney whitman to look
into the history OF the concern and de-
termtne whether or not there was any
criminal liability In its management.
The district attorney is silent as to
what steps he Is taking In the matter.
It is known, however, that he worked
overnight IN the trust company mat
ter late into the morning and that he
held many consultations about 1t at
his home al the Hotel Iroquois. The
outcome of this labor may very well
be a matter for the consideration of
the grand jury.
Nearly Failed In 1907.
Ii has developed that the company
nearly went nnder IN the panic days
OF 1907. The general impression that
the influence OF Andrew Carnegie was
behind the company and the fact that
the name Of Leslie shaw, who SO re-
Gently had been secretary Of the treas
ury, WAS with The concern were two
things that saved the trust company
at that time.
OF course the big steel man aside
from his friendship for Charles n

pany. More than that. hs was ex-
tremaly adverse to the use of his

All the phenomenal growth and
development that have marked the
progress OF events throughout the
world in 1910 are reflected and re-
corded In The World Almanac for
1911. To enumerate Its new features
would be to enumerate everything
new and important that has taken
place in the last year. Its great mass
OF statistical information on every
subject IN which any one would be
likely to be interested has been re-
vlsed and brought down to the last
moment OF the closing year. and so
many new facts and figures have
been added that apparently no infor-
nation OF value or importance has
been omitted, while for accuracy The
World Almanac has never been ex-
ceIled.
The completeness with which the
subjects are treated Is shown by the
fact that fifteen pages are devoted
to detailed facts concerning the new

MIR. MACDoNALD,s DEFENSE
New Haven Union.)

The action of the State Senate yes
 serday in depriving Gov. Baldwin of
 his statutory right to try Highway Commissioner Macdonald on removal kcharges is as partisan and unprece- denfed a piece of political business as has been pulled off in this State in a great many years.
 As MT Macdonald will himself tes- Ftify, The Union has been very fair, even friendly to him in the controver- fsy that has ragged over his conduct of the state highway depaftment. We Ahave felt that much of the drive against Mir Macdonald was unjust, biased even hypocritical. We have appreciated the magnitude of the prob lem that he has been trying to solve; we have sympathized with him in his tuntiring> efforts to do with this big kjob the very best he knew how. That fis how we have felt about MT. Macdon- kaid and his work as highway commits ksioner.
 Furthermore MT Macdonald knows 4that the opposition to him has not been Bipartisan in any sense of the word. He knows of Democrats who, after an in- tvestigation of his work, even went to fGov Baldwin and asked him to re- fappoint MT Macdonald. He knows of Democrats in the Legislature who Shave frankly .championed his cause On the other hand the very worst <we have ever heard against MT. Mac 4donald's handling of the state high Away department has been uttered by Republicans and Republicans high up in the party councils.
 There is no doubt that there is a wide divergence of opinion with re- gard to Mr. Macdonald's course as state highway commissioner and it is not a difference of opinion based on partisan lines. Why the Republican majority in the Senate should delib- erately make it partisan issue is more than we can understand. Why Mir Macdonald should permit them to do so is also surprising Why Dem ocratic senators presumably friendly to Mir. Macdonald, should aid and abet such a scheme by being absent when such an important legislative move was proposed is not clear.
 They say that Gov. Baldwin has prejndiced MT. Macdonald's case. Why? Because in his good Judgment iaa desired to appoint somebody else
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-15

politics they have been playing and peanut politics at that. Suppose Gov
 Baldwin did present charges against MT. Macdonald and try them out; i; would not MT. Macdonald have his appeal to the courts from the gover- nor's decision? If the Republican Sen ate majority is right in holding that the governor, who wants to remove a man, should not sit in judgment on his case, then why make an exception solely in the case of MT Macdonald? Why say that the governor cannot ex- ercise a certain power of removal over one of his appoiftees that is permit ted in the cases of many other appoin-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-15

the people intended that he should not be lhampered in the administra- tion of his duties of his high office. Among these duties was the power of appointment over several important state offices, including the highway commissioner. If the people ever in tended that the state Senate should deny the governor a free rein in the exercise of this prerogative, they cer- tainly did not expect the Senate to act from mere partisan motives; and they positively did not intend that the Sem ate should actually take away from
 the governor his power of removal in the case of one of the most important
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-15

tees? If this is a power the governor should not exercise, take it away from him in every case. If it is power he should be allowed to exercise, be consistent, and make no exceptions to the rule
 There is much that can be said for and against giving the governor the right to remove executive and admin istration officials for cause after a hearing before himself as judge and prosecutor. We do not have to go into that phase of this question, how ever, at this time because there is no doubt in our minds that when Gov. Baldwin was elected last November
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-15

of all our state offices, for the right conduct of which, he, the governor, is in part responsible.
 What warrant, therefore, the Repub- lican majority in the state Senate had for their bold action of yesterday in this matter is not clear. Why MT. Macdonald should countenance such a drastic protective measure in his own defense does not promote confidence in his case, even among his friends.
 Moreover, it excites grave suspicious. It makes his conduct of the state high way department a political issue that will not down. And looking at it from the narrow political standpoint we

to MT. Macdonal6s position? If that was prejudicing MT. Macdonald's case, then Gov Baldwin, in equal and like degree. prejudiced MT. Theodore Mac donald's case as insurance commits sioner. Why did not the Republican Senate prevent Gov. Baldwin's pre- judgment in that instance? Why make flesh of one Macdonald and fowl or the other? Is it because the highway eommissionership controls far more po- liticai patronage than the insurance eommissionership?
 There is absolutely no consistency in
 he Republican Senate majOrity's ac- tion in these and other matters. It is

The Farmers Debt to the Scientist.
To Wallaces' Farmer:
Through the columns of your pa
per would like TO PROFOUND a few
interroeatory questions to the farm
er just to ascertain where he thinks
he stands in regard to the origin of
the present modern and scientific
farming methods.
Who brought forth the present
methods Of soil analysis, in order to
determine that crop best adapted
to each diHd of soil?
Where did the idea of selecting
an breeding in both seed and
stock receive its birth?
VINO brought forth the present
lalor-savind farm machinery, elm
mating those long hours of toll?
Now, in answer, will say that the
farmer can claim no credit what
eyer for any of these. The chemist
in his laboratory and the shop, see
| ing the urgent needs of the farmer
and realizing the lack of experiment
tai ability on his part, put their
shoulders to the wheel and brought
out the results which have been a
boon to MIR. Farmer.
From time immemorial the farm
er has censured and ridiculed eX-
perimental work that represented a
departure from the beaten paths.
He will stand by and see all the de-
fects; but can you get one word
suggesting any intelligent idea from
him? Absolutely none.
His environment and makeup is
sucH that he cannot cope with the
cond. which require hard study
an' So which enter into the
field of t. 1talresesrch.
Now, :. t,a. led farmer, you
must take r your hat to your city
brother for a.. the present equip.
ment you possess to relieve you Of
irksome labor on the farm. Now
show me what you have done.

Origin of Attorney"

In the time of our Saxon ances-
tors the freemen in every shire met
twice year under the presidency
of the shire reeve, or sheriff, and
this meeting was called the sheriff's
torn. BY degrees the freemen de-
clined giving their personal attend
ance, and a freemen who did attend
carried with him the proxies of
such of his friends as could not ap-
pear He who actually went to the
sheriff's torn was said, according to
the old Saxon, to 90 at the torn,
and hence came the word attorney
which signifed one who went to the
torn for others, carrying with him
a power to act or vote for those
who employed him. The distinc.
ton between attorney and solicitor
arises from the latter practicing in
a conrt of equity and the former
only in court of law.-St. James
