town and village boards, or any or all
of them, but it is evident that there
ought to be given a little wholesome
attention to this evil The local
liquor dealers do not sell to minors
and posted persons. Probably they
get imposed on occasionally, but they
make strenuous effort to live up TO
the law and there is less cause for
complaint than in most towns. The
mischief Is done by few loafers and
buns, who make a business of get
ting liquor for persons who cannot
buy for themselves, like Oveda Pere-
ault, and others who are to a greater
or less degree weak and incapable OF
self restraint and ought not to have
it. 1t would take no great effort TO
round up these agents in a most dan
gerous carrying trade. 1t needs only
a little decent effort on the part of
some branch of constituted authori-
ty.

BATTLEsHlP BIDS OPENED
Lowest offers Made by New York
and Fore River Companies.

anu TOIS NlNSI NOHlpdHlSSs
Bids for the construction of the
two 27,O0O-ton battleships Oklahoma
and Nevada were opened at Washing
Ton Thursday The lowest proposals
were from the New York shipbulding
company of Camden, N. j. at $685.
600 for one ship, and the Fore River
shipbuilding company Of Quincy, at
S5,935,O0O per ship. Only one other
bid was received, that of the Newport
News-shipbuilding company, which
was $6,450,000, exceeding the maxi
mum set by Congress by almost
100000.
The Cramp company of Philadel-
phia refused to submit bid, on the
ground that the entire plant of the
company would have to go on an
eight-hour-day basis If 1t took a con-
tract The Fore River company
asked for the award of but one ship,
the bid of 5,959,0O0 being for tur-
bine engines For reciprocating en-
gines, desired by the department, the
bid was s5,9S0,OO0 Indications are
that one ship each would be awarded
to the two low bidders
Because Of the recent interpreta.
ton Of the eight-hour law by the de-
partment Of justice doubt had been
expressed that any private shipbuild-
ing concern would seek the contracts.

The director OF the federal census,
Mr.. Durand, offered a singular sug-
gestion at the Tech" banquet in
Boston in saying that foreign immi-
grants should not be allowed to live
in our cities, but should be forced TO
settle on farms.--Springfeld Repub-
lican.
Practically this same idea was ad-
vocated by The Banner a number OF
years ago, but this is the first time
we have ever known OF the theory
being advocated by anybody of high
standing in governmental circles.
The plan. advocated by The
Banner, was that all immigrants.
or at least those who come to this
country without being skilled work.
men at any trade, be compelled to
serve an apprenticeship on the farms
instead Of crowding into the cities.
The country needs the men. while
the cities already have more than
they have work for. II would not be
just to compel the foreigners to re-
main permanently In the country. but
it would be proper and best for them
and the country to compel them to
remain there until they had learned
the language and attained a reason
able familiarity with American lnstl-
tutlons and American forms Of law
and government. The Banner sub
mitted its ideas on the subject to
Senator Dillingham;. who was at the
time taking a leading part In immi-
grafton affairs. Undoubtedly the
same theory has been proposed by
I others and the fact that II is held by
a man OF the ability and standing Of
Mr. Durand proves that II II not
wholly idle and visionary. The rural
sections Of the United States need
attention from congress at least
! equally with the trusts and tariff, bul
congress seldom does what il ought
to do.

TO BANK TRUSTEES

State Bank Commissioner Frank G..
Williams has sent out circular in
which he makes some suggestions to
trustees of savings banks and to dir
eetors of state banks and trust com
panies. The contents Of the circular
are as follows:
wish at this time to call your at
tention to that portion OF Section NO
so of Acts of 1910, No. 1853, relating
to the semi-annual audit of the assets
and liabilities of the state banks
This duty is one OF the most impor-
tant with which you are charged and
should be performed carefully faith
fully and efficiently. You should not
be satisfied with an audit which sim
ply gives a list Of the assets and
liabilities of the bank, prepared by
the treasurer, and checked up by the
Board of AUDITORS, but you should in
sist.
First, that every asset of the bank
should be so thoroughly examined
that the Board of Auditors can adj
wise the trustees of the character of
the investment, sulfciency Of the Sc
curity, and if there is any weakness
in any asset of the bank, you should
require the Board of Auditors to note
that weakness in their report
Second, you should Insist that the
Board of Auditors make list of all
deposits or cause one TO be made
from personal supervision, each &C
count to be examined by a member
of the Board, and verified, and every
other liability should be verified, the
expense account for the previous six
months should be carefully examined
and verified, the interest account
should also be carefully examined
and verified. This work should all
be done with the same degree Of
thoroughness and care that you would
require if you were about to pur-
chase the corporation examined.
1t is impossible for the Bank Com
missioner to examine both the assets
and liabilities of all the state banks
twice each year, in the manner indi-
Gated above, under the present law
and without more assistance, but
even if he could, it would still be i'm
portant that the Board Of trustees
should make such examination.
have found in some cases, upon ex-
animation of Auditors reports, a GER
tificate by the auditors. certifying to
the correctness Of the report and that
the assets were found as indicated,
and no mention was made of any
weakness or possibility of loss upon
any investment, when in fact it tran
spired that every member OF the
Board Of Trustees was perfectly well
aware of the fact that there we're
some investments which we're not
well secured. and upon which II was
expected there would be losses. Such
examinations and reports as these,
are of no value and will not be toler-
ated. A very large proportion OF the
banks are not subject to this criti-
cism and desire that every bank
shall comply with these requirements
of the law. in such a manner that
there shall be no further cause for
criticism.
