Supervision of Private Banks.

From the Chicago NtWs
Unbiased persons are agreed that the
state should closely regulate and super
wise private banks. Lack of this super
vision makes it possible for incompetent
or unscrupuious men to pose as bankers.

depositors. That is not all. Every broken
hank scatters doubt broadcast, diScollr-
ages the habit of saving and encourages
Withdrawals of accounts from sound
banks This is a dangerous influence in
crippling industrial enterprises and pro-
ducing hard times. Forces in Illinois are
aiming TO secure adequate legislation re-
quiring state supervision of private
banks.

The Local Housing Problem.

4 reading of the remarks Of Repre-
sentative. Mccall of Massachusetts in
the House yesterday on the introduce
ton of a resolution authorizing an IN
vestigation into local conditions with
respect to sanitation might lead some
to believe that the District government
has been lamentably derelict In caring
for the health of the poorer people. IN
point of fact the conditions set 1orth
in this resolution. and which II is pro-
posed to have investigated by the
House District committee, nave peen
reported to Congress on several occa-
sions. in the Commissioners annual re-
ports and in special presentations.
Some years ago a commission. appoint
ed by the President went into TINS
whole matter of the housing OF the
poor most exhaustively, and a report
was submitted to Congress which not
only set forth the existing facts, pnt
recommended changes in the laws ana
proposed projects for the general
amelioration of the living environment
of those classes of people who are. most
seriously affected by insanitary 1nflu-
ences. No heed was paid to TINS ad-
mirable report, and since then the only
advance that has been made toward an
effective clearance of insanitary fac
tors has been the approval of the plan
to transform Willow Tree alley into
court-park from a noisome slum
This work has not yet been practically
undertaken, and in point of fact it is
incomplete in it's inception, for it
should be accompanied by measures
for providing sanitary homes for
those who will be displaced by the
change. An investigation of the con-
ditions noted by Mr. Mccall will add
nothing to local knowledge, but it may
possibly bring the facts to the atten-
ton of the House with enough force
to WELD the legislation which has been
many sessions. If it has that effect
it will not be superfluous. But. in
truth, IL the House is anxious to do
something to remedy the inSanitary
housing of the poor of Washington it
has no need to conduct special in
vestigation. From the Commissioners
and from the files all the data can be
obtained sufficing to show that the
capital shouldvbe given the benefit of
ern the building and maintenance of
dwellings in minor streets and alleys,
and in addition there should be several
large projects of coni emnation and re-
placement Whether this problem is
solved or not depends now upon the
House of Representatives, as it has
depended upon Congress from the out

not prove Of vital importance in the pres
ent connection, but it will serve to illus
trate. the difficulty OF the regulation of
corporations. As long as the government
lacks perfect access to the books and
papers of large companies which under
the interstate commerce clause of the
Constitution are subject to federal juris-
diction. it will be impossible to guard
against improper practices. A system OF
examinations such as those conducted
into the affairs of national banks might
check the activities of the paper burners
and make for a more certain admins
tration of the antitrust law.

Quiet for Pupils.
From the Boston Transcript.

The noise and dust of the streets are
unnecessary nuisances in many places.
where they now impede the work of
teachers and pupils, and the school COM
mittee is justified, therefore, in asking
that when pavements in the neighbor-
hood of school buildings are to be renew
ed material which is easily cleaned and
comparatively noiseless shall be substi-
tuted. Even in the city proper there
is hardly a schoolhouse so situated that
this reasonable request would be difficult
of fulfillment. So long as it it remains un-
needed we shall continue to worry along
with certain structures in which. in the
hottest weather, the opening of a window
involves annoyances that are almost
equivalent TO the torment of a hot and
fetid atmosphere.
