two days to repair the damage, which
was considerable. and destroyed nearly
all Of the supplies loaded for the trip to
Europe.
Saturday morning at 9 o'cIock-the time
scheduled months before-the Imperator
sailed as though nothing had happened.
II was claimed by the company, and the
claim was backed by editorials in. New
York newspapers, that the Imperator haG
proved her worth.
Within forty-siX hours Of the time that
the fire in her hold had been controlled.
the Imperator sailed through the Mar
rows in New York Harbor with 40 first
cabin. IS second cabin, AS third cabin,
and 525 steerage, a total Of 1881 passen-
gers. Ninety-five cabin passengers were
booked after the fire started.
II was proved by the Hamburg-Anerf-
can Company that, had the fire started in
midocean and gained the headway Il did,
the crew would have been able to con-
troll 1t without serious inconvenience to
passengers. The fire was confined to the
compartment in which it broke out. The
lesson of the Titanic had been taught
with such force that the Imperator was
able to defy one Of the principal dangers
to ocean traffic.

T H E B A N K E R
What He Does-How He Serves Society-Who He Is.

banker is given money to care for un-
less he is trusted. He is a goner unless
his community believes in him. The
average man will trust banker in ad-
vance of trusting an intimate friend;
for he will place money. representing his
whole financial fate. in the hands of the
banker and never think twice about it.
Very well! What is true in one COM
munity is true in every other. The whole
banking profession and the directorates
of banks must necessarily stand high or
they would not stand at all. See how
proof Of this has come out OF the sup
posedly venal New York within six
weeks. A new bank was opened. In less
than two weeks il had over 1l,0OO deposi-
tors and Sl,OO0OO0 on deposit. The sole
reason: the president was a well-known
leader in his part OF the city, and every
body believed in him. The same rule
holds exactly in every other locality'
Profits on Loans.
The most insiduous feeling against the
banker is found perhaps in the knowleoge
that he makes money out or the means
of other people. He must. He has to
set money to work. 1t is his function to
keen it active; for II he boarded, then
would he be only an amplified and more
buIsing stocking or kettle. His only
excuse
This is true locally, in reserve cities,
and in central reserve cities-all the way
I'D the banker must keep money NOV
ing in safe channels. He could not be
expected to do this for nothing. The in
terest he earns comes back to every de-
positor who draws interest on time or
daily balances; TO every savings account,
to every stockholder for whom the
banker holds a place OF trust
The bankers Burden.
Right now this quiet gentleman lies
awake nights deciding between granting
or refusing accommodations, either step
potent in producing a crash when conf
dence wavers. He represents ten mill
lion savings bank depositors with over
81 900, OOO, 900 intrusted TO him for defense
against all attacks. He and his directors
in State banks, loan and trust COM
panies, and in private banks, stand be-
tween deposits of over N,0O0OO0,0oO and
disaster. In national banks, which after
all only earned 6.93 per cent on capital
and surplus in 1912, he stands as trustee
for IS, ,S25, 100000 on deposit.
In these days OF oratorical hot-headed-
ness let us get this thing straight: by
natural selective process the banker and
his directors are the trusted and also
almost invariably the trustworthy men
of the community. The banker deals
with the most timid commodity in the
world, yet that commodity is essential to
the transfer of all other commodities
from producer to consumer. The banker
is, therefore, the emblem OF community
faith. What is true in one commun-
ity is true in all. The great task of
Congress does not lie in providing in
voIved safeguards, important though
they are but in seeing that community
faith is not caused to waver by heed
less talk against the emblem Of that
faith, the banker.

Good Roads Convention
To be Well Attended
By Outside Delegates

to decide on the practicability Of the
several routes.
The latest announcement from the
Automobile Club of Southern Cali
fornia says:
with the delegates to the Imperial
Valley Good Roads Convention on next
Monday rests the decision whether or
not there will be built road from
Yuma into the valley.
'fThe Automobile Club of Southern
California has bent every effort to
make the convention success and to
harmonic the districts in the Imperial
country. It was the club which is
sued the first call to the convention,
and O. X. Parker, it's chief engineer
will advise the delegates on the road
conditions of the three routes pos
sible.
"Opinions from men who have driv-
en- their own cars over each of the
roads will be called for, and the test-
monials will decide the all important
question.
"'We have based our hopes on
final agreement upon the broadmind-
edness of the delegates, and their
knowledge of the three roads, said
Secretary S. C. Geary, of the Automo-
bile Club yesterday. Enthusiasm
there will be, but we want it to be
directed in the right direction. 1t
must be concentrated and not fired at
intervals and over each of the roads.
"If the delegates cannot agree,
nothing will be accomplished. But
believe that harmonious settlement
will be reached. There will be no as
signment of delegates, but all who are
interested will be invited TO attend.
1t will be general meeting of the I'M
perial valley boosters in an attempt
to settle upon one highway
1.-THE Automobile Club will leave
the conduct of the convention entire
lyi the hands of the delegates who
attend, and all who please will be ac-
commodated in the Masonic Temple
on Monday. This means that the at
tendance will probably exceed our ex-
pectations and it will remain with the
delegates themselves to elect officers
and proceed with the business of Sc
lecting the route which the Yuma
road will follow"
Imperial Valley press., 1913-11-22

There will be a convention in this
city Monday which will rank in i'm
portance with the county fair which
has been held this week. Delegates
will be present from all parts of
Southern California on call of the
Automobile Club of Southern Califor-
MIA, with a view to deciding on route
for a road from the valley to Yuma.
Conceding that the road will be used
by automobilists from all parts of the
country, many valley people are rails
ing the point as to the method to be
followed in financing its construction.
From San Diego to Ell Centro the
route comes under the state highway,
but this is understood to be the ter
minus of the state road, and from
here to Yuma some different method
must be followed for financing con-
struction.
Outside newspapers are referring
in a vague sart of way to the build
ing of road from Yuma to Imperial
valley, but the fact that Ell Centre
has been made the terminus of the
state highway makes this town the
starting point for the Yuma road.
Most people understand that the
road from Ell Centre to Yuma must
be county road, and such county
road is required to give the people on
the government project along the riv-
er, in this county, a direct road to the
county seat, while at the same time
it will afford the most direct route
for the national highway if it leads
practically on straight line from
this city to Yuma, by way of Holt
vile. This is taking it for granted
that the county must build the road.
There is nothing in the call for the
convention that throws any light or
the question of finances, and it may
be that the delegates will have some
proposal along this line. Los Angeles
is still fighting for road by way OF
Mammoth wash, and of course if that
city wishes to build road along that
line no one will offer any objection.
But the sentiment in this valley is
that if the road is to be built by the
county, it is for the county to determ-
inc on what line it should be built

In the third heat of the free for all
