SAVINGS BANK BOOKS.
Judge Duffy Rules That Savings
Banks Must Use "Ordinary Care"

Much interest has been aroused by
the ruling of Judge Duffy, in the
Court of Common Pleas, Baltimore, in
the case of Joseph Steinberg, against
the EutaW Savings aBnk. IT'D il to the
effect that savings banks are not liza
BILE for money paid out on forgeries
of depositors' names, as are national
banks, and are exempt from liability
for paying money upon presentation
Of the bank book, provided that ''or-
binary care" is exercised.
The suit was brought by Mr.. Stein
berg to recover $4,000, which he al
legged had been paid to- some one else
upon forgery Of his signature. Aft
er five days trial the jury rendered a
verdict for the bank
During the trial Judge Duffy had
occasion to pass upon bylaw of the
bank, which 10 far a. il known had
not before been passed upon by courts
of this State. The bylaw reads:
Although the banks will endeavor
to prevent fraud on it's depositors,
vet all payments which may be made
by the bank to any person producing
the book of depositor shall be valid
as against the depositor and a full
and effectual release therefor to the
bank"
This Is q reasonable and valid by
law, the Judge ruled, and protects the
bank in making payments to the per-
son in possession of bank book, IN
less in making such payment the
bank is guilty of want of ordinary
care and prudence. 1t had been in
force and had been printed in the
deposit books of the bank many
years; similar bylaws are in force in
nearly every other savings bank in
the city, and in most savings banks OF
other States.
Savings banks having such rules
differ from national banks, which are
bound under all circumstances to
know the signature of depositors and
in the event Of payment OF a forged
check are liable therefor, regardless
Of the degree Of care exercised by
the bank in making payment.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL IL, 1912
LET US HAVE A PREFERENTIAL
PRIMARY THAT WILL BE
PREFERENTIAL.

It il said that the gentlemen who
were influential in having the Nat
ional Democratic Convention to meet
in Baltimore represented that Mary
land was neutral territory and would
remain 10, and now because ot this
promise Maryland should send an
unpledged and uninstructed delega-
ton to the Convention
If such promise was made AN was
gratuitOus and without authority and
the party is in no sense bound by 1t;
and it overtaxes ones credulity to be-
lieve that any member of the National
Committee was ID gullible a. to he
influenced by it, or for one moment
conceived that the gentlemen who
made it had the power to muzzle the
entire Democratic party of To- State
we are impressed that IT i brought
forward at this time TO serve pur-
pose, a sort of leger-de-main that has
been practiced upon the party 20 Oft
en in the past that i'd il now OF 70 the
trick and is in no humor to be trified
with.
BY all means give the Democrats Of
the State 80 opportunity tn register
their preference for one Of the sew
eral aspirants for the Presidential
nomination without interference by

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

On April Is, just 169 years ago,
was born the author or the Declare
ton Of independence, the founder Of
the Democratic party, and one Of the
greatest statesmen that this country
has ever produced.
Thomas Jefferson's was a noble
character and his requirements were
numerous and varied. 1t was said OF
him that he could calculate an
eclipse, survey an estate, tie an art
cry, plan ar edifice, try a cause, break
a horse, dance minuet, and play a
violin"
The strong principles of Democ-
racy, first enunciated by Jefferson
have become a part OF our national
life. When he became President,
quite in keeping with his democratic
character, he wrote his first message
and sent ii to the Senate and House
to be read, instead of delivering ii
himself formally in person as both
Washington and Adams had done. His
example in this respect has been fol-
lowed by all succeeding Presidents
The policy voiced in his message was
to foster the State governments; to
restrict the Federal power; to reduce
the army and navy, the taxes, and
the duties on imports to the lowest
available point.
For eight years Jefferson admins
tered the affairs of the nation, one
Of his most important transactions
being the purchase of the Louisiana
territory from Napoleon for the sun
of $15,OOO,OO0, out Of which territory
have come twelve great States.
In all Of his political papers hi
sought to make his party favor pc
litical freedom, and to anticipate ev
ery change calculated I'd enlarge tht
liberties and the opportunities Of tht
people. No other man has exerteC
so far-reaching an influence upor
American institutions a. did Thoma:
Jefferson.

"a popular modern heresy known a.
"Millennial Dawn" or "Russellism'
has been invading the country and
one of it's representatives spoke at the
Opera House two Sunday afternoons,
setting forth doctrines contrary to all
the creeds OF Christendom, and dis
tributing literature. Some Of the
more prominent heresies which Mile
NAL Dawn" inculcates are a. follows:
Denial Of the Divinity Of Jesus Christ,
denial of the incarnation, denial of
His resurrection and making his
atonement that of mere man. Tit
assures the wicked that there is no
suffering for sin, and that those who
do not care to enter heaven may be
annihilated.

PUBLIC CLEANLINESS.

Our city authorities have recently
sent out notices to our citizens, to see
to 1T, that their premises are put in
a Clearly condition and kept 80, and
that no rubbish or filth of any kind
be thrown into the streets or alleys
OF the town.
This il a reasonable request and
should meet with the hearty response
of our citizens. Nothing adds SO
much to the attractiveness Of pr1-
waite home OF OF q city, e. cleanliness
And there are sanitary reasons why
the town should be kept clean The
health of the people is matter OF
public concern, and it j. the duty of
the authorities to see that nothing
unsanitary is permitted to exist. To
throw filth into the streets or alleys is
a violation of city ordinance, and
the offender il liable to 2 penalty.
we want our little city, situated SO
beautifully among the green hills OF

garments, and 30 present to the num-
erous visitors who come here to sum-

commendable desire to "clean up the
town." and make it sanitary and at

Since at the Springs eXultant birth
Through His green earth

And feel again the old immortal need
How can I doubt, when through white

Seeing the ancient beauty on the

In Gods great house,
Hearing the bells at this Aprilian
Mass,
Seeing the congregation of the grass
How can I doubt? Nay, let me bow

Before the wonder OF the April

In tears and shame,
Since for one instant 20 black mo-

sPRING-TINIE IN THE COUNTRY.

Those who have never lived in the

the loneliness Of the spring-time. And
those who have never lived anywhere
else than in the country, become so
familiar with it, thatithey fail to ap-
preciate the beauty and suggestive
ness Of the opening spring.

those who have taste for the beauti-

the earth has shaken of the dreary
cerements of winters death, and now
pulses with the evidences Of a new
life; when the birds come back to
sing To u again, and the arbutus
creeps out from under the vine, and
raises it's tiny petals to catch the kiss

DON'T ALLOW FLIES i'm YOUR

A Few Reasons Why You Should Kill
The Flies,

Screen your windows and doors. DO
it early before fly time and keep
screens up until snow falls.
Flies breed in manure, refuse, and
other filth.
One fly can carry and may deposit
On our food 100000 bacteria
One fly in one summer may produce

scendants.
q fly is an enemy to health,-the
health of the whole community
"a fly cannot develop from the egg
in less than s days; therefore, if we
clean up everything thoroughly every
week, there need be no flies.
