who had informed against them. They
couldn't do anything through the de-
partment, for the AFFAIR had gotten
into the papers and Kenny was a pop
ular hero. This Is what they did do.
They waited several months until his
suspicious were lulled. Then. one day
In early summer, he was assigned to
special duty at Il civic picnic In Lion
Park, a big pleasure ground which
then lay at S-eventy-second street and
Broadway.
These sixteen enemies OF Kenny hid
all day in n cafe in an obscure section
OF the park. In the evening. at about
the hour when they kne he would ap-
pear on his final round, two Of them
began fighting and rioting. OF course
he heard, and didn't hesitate to enter.
The moment he was inside one man
sprang for the door and set his back
n gainst II. The other fifteen piled on
Kenny. Under threat Of instant death
he was compelled 10 write, address and
seal his resignation from the force.
He was also compelled 10 drink a glass
of whiskey which had been doped.
The next day he was found by a
brother officer. apparently dead drunk.
and none Of his explanations was be-
lieved. because OF his good record
his resignation was allowed to stand,
but the story got out and the man was
d~lsgraced. His fiancee would have
nothing more to say to him.. and even
his family were not too kind.
In a half-hearted way he tried for
work, but no one wanted a disgraced
policeman. He spent most of his time
brooding by a little old grave. which

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local appl cations, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remed es. Deafness is caused by an inflamed cond.t ton of the unOcuslln- ing ot the Eustachian Tube.

ROOTLEGGER HAS REFORMED.

Little Rock, Oct 26.-John Lee, a young white man, was acquitted by jury in federal court of charge of selling whiskey in the famous Bull Frog Valley of Pope County. He ad- mitted that he sold whiskey in 1908, but denied that he had sold any whis- key during the last three years, so that his offense was outlawed under the statute. One of the witnesses tes- tified that there has been very lt- tie boot-legging done in the valley during the last few years. Lee had been a wild wayward boy, but ne had reformed, and is now living a res- pectable, law-abiding life.

Ing between your commercial an(
 your investment operation, and 1 car
 give you on the former a rate one
 or one and a half per cent lower
 than you are now paying. When
 such a proposition is put up to busi- men and farmers even in smaller
 communities, vast amount of gen. 1 tune commercial paper of the h ghest
 grade will appear, of the very eX-
 lstenca of which bankers are now i ignorant
 At the present time such paper is 1 lndlstlnguishabl because it's form is that of the promssory note like other
 forms of loans, and frequently funds for commercial and investment pur- poses are represented by the same note, business men not having had thelf attention called to the i'm portance of the distinction. Further more, the date of maturity of paper now means little Or nothing, since it is renewed when it falls due and can usually be paid before maturity if desired
 Furthermore the big concerns in small communities which supply large quantities of commercial paper now bank in the larger centers, be- cause local hanks are unable to take care of them. With an efficient re- serve agency the local banks can take care of them without difficulty since their ability to loan will not be confined to their own resources. They will always be able to turn over to the agency or to their correspon- dents the paper they are unable to hold. The deposits of these concerns Will also aid to their resources and to their profits.
 Regarding the dependence of the small town upon the larger centers 1t should be observed that at the present time it is absolute. The small | banker now has not alternative ex- cept the big banker in the large cen ters, and the big business men of his. are even more dependent.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-10-27

With mohilized reserves real inde- pendence will appear, because it will be able to give to the small banker everything which the larger center can give him and more, and it will be under his control, an institution i'll which he has proprietary rights, and in the administration of which he and his fellow small bankers have the controlling voice. All of this will happen without in any degre cutting down any of the privileges which bis present relations to the larger cen ters give him.

secondary reserves such paper Woul
 De superior to bonds because it coul,
 more easily and certainly be turne,
 into cash and because it would nor
 mally bear higher rate of interes
 and fluctuate less in value.
 The small bank will profit iron this condition of things quite a. much as, if not more, than the large one because it's surplus cash re sources are relatively larger thar those of the large bank and it's pres. ent ability to command suitable in. Festments- much sga;. 5ser.
 Two aspects of this matter have apparently escaped the attention o1 the small bankers, who fail to see how they are going to be benefited by the proposed reform. One is that the profits arising from the use of finds now lying idle will offset, probably much more than offset, losses oc- casioned by the lowering of the rate on flrst-class commercial paper and the other is the fact that this holding or commercial paper will not be con- lined necessarily to the amount that originates in their own communities. That portion of their reserves which they now have invested in bonds and other outside securities, as we'll as those funds which are new uninvest- ed, will under the new order be in- vested in outside commercial paper in case their own community does not supply all they need. In most cases the amounts thus acquired would be adequate for all their rediscounting needs.
 There is still another aspect of the question which the small banker is inclined to overlook. q get very little commercial paper," he argues, 'how will any rediscount scheme help me?' The answer is that co-opera tive reserve association will create commercial paper of the presence of which you are not now aware. It will enable you to say to your consti- tuents: Distinguish in your borrow

 stant or speedy conversion into cash
 The latter he will lend for invest.
 ment purposes, for the capitalization of new enterprises.
 The confusion of these two forms
 CT deposits is now common, if not customary, and is the cause of in- 1latlon and trouble. Imitation re- suits when investment loans exceed 1 current savings. Initiation is impos- slole when the bank is simply the flntermediary in an exchange of goods agalnst goods. In the former case currency or demand obligations are issued against obligations which are not collectible on demand. Tn the latter the currency issued will be returned quickly for cancellation or the obligation quickly discharged by the completion of the process of ex- change in which it originated.
 The small banker will have to dis
 tlngulsh between these items. He Will want to be always in position to turn his commercial paper into cash-to be able to apply to the Re- serve Association for rediscount.
 Added to this will be the small bankers ability to accept drafts for customers. Acceptances will be su- perior to promissory notes. A banks acceptance will give a market for, paper that would be refused is sign- ed only by an unknown merchant. AI
 At the present time banks freouent- ly have on hand large amounts of surplus cash partly because their on- ly certainly available reserves are their cash holdings in excess of the legal minimum, and partly because investments are not always available. With an efficient reserve agency surpluses would not be need ed, since first-class commercial paper would answer the same pur- pose and they could be avoided in all cases because such paper could always be. urchased As

It will nave place where it can go and be l certain of accommodation. It can serve it's customers and it's communi- ty better. It liwl have better clear ing house facilities. It will be inde- pendent but not isolated.
 The small bank snow hampered in many ways. Tt is at the mercy of it's reserve agepRs and city correspon-. dents. It gets rediscounts or loans only as matter of favor and it must repay favors with favors. It must let Wall Street have it's surplus funds. It must depend on Wall Street to release these funds when needed. 1t has to pay transportation charges on currency shipments. It must pay exchange on checks and drafts. It
 
 must settle balances against it in cash and ship the money. It must maintain cash seserves often in eX- cess of it's actual needs. It must be prepared for a panic. It has no mar ket for the securities it customarily accepts as collateral.
 If it's interest rates were lowered somewhat by the stahilizing effect of a fixed rediscount rate, it would have more money to lend and the assur- ance of protection. It would have outside capital at IS disposal It ! would never have to reject a good loan because it was loaned up" The commercial business of the com munity it serves would never be halt ed because of fear, lack of confidence or limitation of it's facilities.
 The small banker will have to be a better banker. He will have to distinguish between commercial and investment business, between the money he accepts as deposit pay able on demand and the money he accepts as a saving deposit, pay able at his otion, on 30 or 50 days
