Banking World Is Steady.

In the banking world there is equa-
nimity. Energetic efforts have been made
to provoke difficulties. There sensation
mongers have interviewed to the extent of
all their capacity, and in some instances
with extraordinary ingenuity. 1t has
been aggressively attempted to create
prejudice against the American banking
situation, to accuse it of incompetence
and worse, to try to invent an atmos-
phere of distrust.
1t has been shouted throughout the
country that the banking strength of the
country was being Slapped for the beneft
of Wall street. 1t has been vociferously
proclaimed that not only the potency of
the multitudinous Institutions Of the
country has been manacled for the profit
of a little group of mOnopolists, but that
in this slavery the very biggest of the
banks Of the country are as supine as the
littlest have to be. And. Of course. loud
Wailing is heard over the dread appre-
hension that all this makes way for ma
tional disaster, that legitimate business
interests of the country. particularly the
agriculturists. are sacrificed.
This campaign has many characteristics
easily described. OF course it is insin-
cere. Its methods prove it's stupidity.
The common sense Of the business of the
country makes sure its futility.
No Panic Mongering.
Perhaps up to the time that Congress
begins actually to consider legislation
there may be persistence in this manner
of dragooning. Men of affairs may be
hauled to the witness stand and grilled
about Hypothetical horrors that they
never have dreamed of; and arithmetical
mechanics may be building grandstands
where statistics may be juggled in
CHASTITY bigness: and committee of Con-
gress may provide a mammoth sound
board for innuendos and sneers and fab
.ications-all this may progress awhile;
but no sane citizen would seem called
upon to worry as much as a trifle over
threats that there can be any outcome
repellent to the sense of American fair
Play. The coming administration no more
than the present administration can be
oent Oh panic mOngering.
In the last decade the banking power
# the United States has increased over
100 per cent-has expanded 30 per cen
since the panic of 1907. There is no go
ing backward anywhere.

GOATS AND INSURANCE.
You'd Hardly Think the Two Were Re-
lated, but They Are.


Everybody knows something about
insurance. Almost everybody carries
some-life. accident, fire, fidelity. plate
glass. partnership, burglary. marine
or what not-and many occasionally
find the payment Of the regularly re-
curing premiums heavy tax. how
ever greatly they may appreciate the
advantages Of holding the policies.
Everybody knows something about
goats, but few would think of asso-
ciaing goats with insurance or of ac-
qulring goats with view to reducing
the amount of their premiums. Yet
large contracting firm in Kansas
City keeps herd of Angora goats for
that very purpose.
The company's yards cover many
acres Of ground, and the buildings and
other equipment thereon represent an
investment of several hundred thou
sand dollars. When the yards were
first established the weeds and other
vegetation on the property were con-
sidered by the underwriters to be dan
gerous fire hazards, so much so that
the rates charged were almost pro-
hibitlve. 1t was agreed. however. that
IL the weeds were kept down the
premiums would be greatly reduced.
But the cost OF moving the weeds
and cutting down the underground
would have been in itself no ineon-
siderable item In the yearly budget.
The company accordingly bought a
flock of Angora goats and turned them
loose In the extrahazardous yards.
The goats now keep the yards cropped
as close as a moved lawn and not
only save the firm a large amount an
nually in fire insurance premiums, but
thrive so well on the objectionable
vegetation and multiply so abundantly
that they nave actually returned con-
siderable profit on the amount of the
company's capital that their purchase
