Government Helping the Banks"

Editor The Georgian:
Your journal of October I, un-
der heading The Government Is
Helping the Banks" puts banks and
bankers before the reading public
in a false position. The bank of
which | am an active officer does
hold on deposit moneys belonging
to the United States government
We are obliged to pay > IA per
cent interest on this money, sub
iect to call at any moment-a very
different proposition from a time
deposit. The government, however,
first effected a good bargain for
themselves, j. e., we bought and left
with the United States treasury to
secure deposits United States gov
eminent bonds. paying per cent
interest on their face value. but as
the bonds cost a premium, we really
obtain only 2.S5 per cent on their
actual cost.
A bond for 81 600 pays ) per
cent ..,............,.. $4,000
Money of the government
deposited against a $1,000

$4,000 at IA per cent.
This costs the bank, per
annum ....... $50
Net return ............ $20.34
Hence an actual outlay,

Which pays only $20.34, or say 3.44
per cent per annum.
Any country bank in my neigh
borhood can loan all Its money ut
s Per cent, hence when we loan the
government at 3.44 per cent we are
paying 4.56 per cent for the pres
tige and privilege of being a United
States depository Of public funds.
Surely when we have more money
invested in government bonds de-
posted with the United States
treasurer than the amount of mon
ey i'm the bank to the credit of the
government, the difference becomes
a net loan to the government.

XY THEN we have an idea we
w either invent word TO ex-
press it or else we borrow
one. The best use of ideas is for
gift purposes. We keep ideas by
giving them away And only
through formulating thoughts for
another do we make them our own.
Language, like electricity, is for
purposes of transmission.
In the last issue. of The Century
Dictionary will be found the word
"Zeitgeist." 1t is German word,
now naturalized and accepted as an
American citizen.
The word Zeitgeist means the
soul of things. 1t means that great
mass of opinion, ideals, hopes and
tendencies that men in the mass ac-
cept.
We are all partakers of the Zeit-

marooned on a desert island called
Nostalgia. We are happy only
when we are expressing the best in
the Zeitgeist We only succeed as
we live in the Zeitgeist.
We Have to Explain.
No one understands US. save as
we explain to them the things they
already know. but which perhaps
they do not know they know until
we tell them
The arts of speech. sculpture,
painting literature, are all endeav-
ors to interpret the Zeitgeist. When
mans head is in a certain stratum
of spiritual atmosphere he knows
all the thoughts of other people
whose heads are in the same STRAIT
UNI. If you are on my wire when
| ring, you respond.
In the Zeitgeist there are de-
grees of subtlety, just as in sound
there are vibrations which to some
ears are never felt. There are tints
and shades that are observable to
some people and not to others.
We are influenced by the Zeit-
gest. Also, we are helping to form
the Zeitgeist.
A man may die and drop out of
the game, but the Zeitgeist lives
on and on. And the influence that
this man has eXerted on the many
still endures because they are prod
ucts of the Zeitgeist.
The present Zeitgeist is of kind
unequaled in history. We have
thousands upon thousands of men
and women who are thinking great
and noble thoughts and expressing
these thoughts in their work. Many
of our big business men regard
themselves as public servants.
Our people are sensitive, rest
less. alert, impressionable, progress
siVe, and making for righteousness.

Public opinion rules. No law

Every man who expresses what he

The value of the thinker who

fore unuttered.
The Brotherhood of Man is an

Employees who plot and plan for
private gain are swabbing the

 A determined effort to swing Mur- phy into line for Wilson was made by Senator O'Gornan and several others on the New York delegation today. They told Murphy there was little doubt that the swing was toward the New Jersey governor and New York should get on the band wagon. Mur- phy, 1t was understood, told the Will son men that New York could never be for Wilson He is reported to have said that the Bryan endorse ment would kill Wilson so far as New York was concerned.

 Today, the fight has reached the to the death stage. Quarter is n o- where asked or expected. Rivalries have developed into feuds and hatred and ehasms divide rival factions the depth of which cannot be sounded. Many old timers say the gaps can never be bridged.

Many politicians are pointing out the re- ble parallel between Roosevelt and Bryan in their attitude toward the two old parties and the rigorous course of treatment they are prescrib- ing.
 That Bryan has fought the clever est battle of his political c"reer in the present campaign is admitted by even those who ascribe no higher motive than selfishness to his dra- matic sallies. The fact that he is not before the convention as a candidate has given the Nebraskan freedom of action that he has not heretofore possessed.
