Senator Hoke Smith will undertake,
in the next congress, to procure an
amendment to the national banking
laws, permitting national banks to loan
money on real estate.
The senator already has introduced
such an amendment in the present con-
gress, but will make no attempt to get
action upon it until the next congress
has been assembled
Bankers generally approve of this
mea sure, and ordinary citizens never
the government had IN mind when the
prohibition against real estate loans
originally was set up.
The only reason given is that ma
tional banks were not designed to ac-
cept collateral that could not be inme-
diately realized upon in case OF for
feiture-and that real estate collateral
did not come within the purpose of the
act, for that reason.
Nowadays, however, real estate
loans may be made with perfect safety,
so far as the quick conversion of the
collateral into money is concerned
and many national banks, particularly
in the South, where real estate loans
are most numerous, evade the law in
one way and another and make real
estate loans, anyway.
Senator Smith thinks his bill will
pass congress with little difficulty, and
Georgians generally appear to hope it
will.

Editor Pleasant A. Stovan. of Sa-
Vannah, representative ELECT in the leg
islature, original Wilson man" and
general favorite throughout Georgia
has issued and distributed among his
friends and others a handsome cream
vorable write-ups of Mr.. Stovau ac-
counts of his services to the cause of
Wilson. and complimentary notices and
suggestions Of cabinet preference I'M
der President Wilson.
The inside cover displays a hand
some and engaging likeness Of Mr.. Sto-
vail, which is equally as convincing as
the reading matter.
With respect to the cabinet sugges-
tons therein contained, the book is elo-
quently silent az to Mr.. StovalPs own
views. Presumably, however, the idea
is that "BarlIis is willing"
And, for that matter, why should not
Barkis be, since everybody else is?
Waycross evidently is determined to
rival Rome in the vigor with which 1t
enforces the law against blind tigers"
The recorder of the city recently has
sent five white men to the chaingang,
without the alternative Of paying
fine; and he has announced his deter
mination to send all others convicted
before him the same way.
Rome has insisted upon the rigid en-
forcement of the laws against tigers"
so persistently that there now are no
tigers" in Rome's midst-and Way
cross evidently Is journeying the same
road.
After all, perhaps, the way to en-
force is to enforce"-as the Honorable
Seaborn Wright says

KNOW what the president intends doing
with the measure, but inasmuch as he
has ten days in which to decide, the
longer he puts off signing 1t, the better
the veto bet grows.
He is being besieged in both direc-
lions 80 1T is said-vehemently and vo-
ciferously in one, quietly and in re-
pressed fashion in the other.
If the president signs the bill, it will
go to the supreme court eventually for
Interpretation. It's enemies in congress
argue that 1t Is unconstitutional. It's
friends contended that If congress had
the right to stop the interstate traffic In
lottery tickets, it has the right to stop
the interstate liquor traffic.
The answer to the last is that con-
gress, by it's revenue laws, distinctly
and Enthusiastically recognizes the liquor
traffic as legitimate, whereas 1t never
has extended such recognition to the
lottery business.
These anti Webbites put liquor, so
far as the governments attitude to-
ward the traffic therein is concerned in
the same class as tobacco
Georgia prohibitionists have long
contended that the protecting hand Of
the Federal government alone stands
between them and a perfect enforce
ment of the state prohibition laws.
They HOLLAND with a show of logic
and fairness hard TO dispute-that the
prohibition law, 80 long as 1t IS the
law, is entitled to square deal and an
opportunity to show what it can &C
complish.
Therefore, their demand that the
Federal government keep hands of for
a time. in order that prohibition may
have its complete opportunity, i'm
presses many people as reasonable and
right.
1t is evident enough, however, that
the law will go to the supreme court,
unless President Taft disposes OF it
within the next few days by vetoing 1t.

BAD STORM SUNDAY NIGHT.
Several Head of Stock Killed. Barns
Destroyed, Etc.

The intense heat of three or foul
days duration eliminated in raging
electric storm which set in Sunday eve
ming and lasted with but slight inter.
mission for upwards of twelve hours.
Rain fell through it all but not notably
heavy.
Much damage was done throughout
this section, but human life was spared.
AT the James McDermott farm. two
miles west, occupied by his son win,
the barn was set on fire by lightning
and consumed together with a calf and
thirty tons of hay Richard Mitchell

making seven in all from the same
source within a week. Mr. Mitchell s
house was also struck but not set on
fire. Walter Van Matre, few miles
southeast of here, lost his barn, which
was one of the largest and most mod
ern in Southwestern Wisconsin. The
house of Robert Jackson, Waldwick,
was struck but not destroyed, and Jos.
GRADER had two steers killed. There
are other losses but details are lacking.

Bread Upon Waters. Etc.

Who knows but what the crumbs of
criticism cast upon the waters by the
Tribune have riled the waters some,
whereby creditors of the now non-ex-
listing First National Bank of this place
may be benefited. 1t is so hoped,
notwithstanding hope seems to have
treaeherous quicksand for foundation.
Has the breach of duty been check :?
Has the conscience been pricked !?
Listen to this:
The trust company for the Allen es-
tate has turned over to Receiver Will
liams S28, 600, or 10 per cent of what
the court has fixed as tie receivers
share of the Allen estate. This $2S, 600
of the bank creditors money, now in
the hands of their guardian. does not
mean another 10 per cent dividend as
some seem to think 1t is simply
turned over TO the receiver. How he
will handle it, time shall tell
1t is understood that the said trust
company offered to settle with the re-
ceiver on a basis Of $3.50, 900 This he
turn@ down and took the matter to
court, where his allowance was fixed at
$277, 600, or $40, 600 less. If this is cor
rect creditors are losers to that amount,
and through no fault Of theirs. Then
there is the court expense, etc, which,
of course, the creditors must stand for.
So it is plain, the more the court pro-
ceedings the longer affairs are drawn
out and the more the creditors stand TO
lose. But there's gamer or gamers.
Who, please?
Creditors of the Allen estate, other
than those of the bank, have been paid
a per cent dividend by the trUst com
pany and will likely get another 5 per
cent very soon, making 10 per cent in
all from that source for that set Of
creditors. AS before stated the bank
creditors ten per cent from the trust
company has also been paid, but to
! the receiver.
