The Cow FYoDped.

The pastor of one of the largest
churches in Kansas City has been in
rather poor health this spring and has
been very often remem cred by one of
his admiring flock who has sent him
many dainty dishes. Recently she sent
him a toothsome gelatin concoction
covered with whipped cream The good
woman's temperance scruples had
yielded to the culinary art and the
whipped cream was favored with a
dash of wine.
The pastors son was unable to re-
sist asking for taste. He smacl<ed his
lips and remarked:

last summer but she certainly has gone
wet this spring. kansas City Star.

Chairman Pujo's reply to the letter
written to him by the president of a
state chartered bank at Buffalo, in
which this president fatty declines to
Chairman Pujo on the ground that his
bank operates under a state charter,
Chairman Pujo insists that he has a
right to learn what the relations of
national banks to state banks in the
matter of loans joint wnerShip md
the like are. The reply which is made
in this city to this Statemen is that
Chairman Pujo has begun at the
concerned. For if the resolution I'M
der which he is acting does empower
him to make examination into the ma
tiOnal banks he would have the right
to ask all national banks what their
relations to the state chartered bank
ing institutions are. He, therefore,
would be able to get information that
he seeks without in any way en-
croaching on their state rights.
Not From New York Alone
Our own bankers in their corre-
spondence with bankers in other parts
Of the country have learned that the
objections to the course taken by
Chairman Pujo are even more strong
York city. Customers of banks in 9TH
er parts of the country do not like to
have the amount ard character of
their loans exposed to any one but
~
They know that the comptroller
is required by law to keep all
the information he has conf
Dental. In many parts of the coun-
try there are very rigid examinations
into the conditions of the banks by
the state authorities And in New
ork state the law compels the direc-
tors of state chartered banks or trust
institutions either as body or
through a subcommittee to make an
exhaustive examination into the books
and papers and affairs of the banks,
scrutinizing every loan and all dis
counts and passing upon the collateral
security upon which such loans are
based, or the credit which attaches to
the indorser's names. One difficulty
which Chairman Pujo will meet with is
the suspicion that this investigation
has behind it political rather than eco
nomic or financial motives. A com
mittee of the senate is to make invcS-
tigation not only of the banking and
currency condition. but of general
commercial conditions, doing this pre-
sumably in good faith, and will at
tempt to learn whether additional leg
isIation is needed
So far as a money or cash trust is
concerned, the Pujo committee, if it
conducts its investigation impartially,
will discover that the thing is impos-
sible Cash, especially in a country of
so great extent as the United States, is
something so volatile, so responsive o
various conditions, so quickly reflect
ing fright or timidity, going instantly
into hiding if the apprehensiOns are
great that it would be am impossible
ty for any group of men, however
powerful and to whatever extent they
may control bank credt, to become a
true money or cash trust
