BANKERS SEE
CITY SIGHTS
Visiting Business Men Are
Pleasantly Entertained Af-
ter Business Sessions

The 4 Of town members Of the Del
aware state BANKERS Association which
was organized yesterday in the Hotel
Dupont were taken ON a sight seeing
tour of the city in automobiles yester-
day afternoon after luncheon. After
beinug taken around the city they went
TO the country home of Pierre S. DUPONT
where they were entertained
Governor Charles r. Miller welcomed
the bankers at the convention yesterday
morning He said in parts
"Alr President and Gentlemen. The
Chamber of Commerce recently enter.
tanned in this city the editors of the
Delaware peninsula, that meeting has
been productive OF good results Let
ms hope that this meeting of the bank
ing interests may also be successful.
We should all feel profoundly interested
in anything which pertains to the ma
terial advancement of the interests of
our state and It's people Meetings of
this character should bring about CO.
operation between the banking com
munnities Of the state and be produc.
tive of good results.
you can stir up a hundred men
against a movement before you can
get one to favor it until he ascer-
tains where the majority will stand.
Have you not seen evidences that a
spirit of this character exists in our
State: ! say this in all candor and
( fairness, but without a desire to
criticise. Let us not approach in this
attitude the object which has brought
us here. but rather with the determi-
/ nation to get back of a State Bank
ers Association and keep IL alive and
make it a successful organization.
Don't view the subject from a sell
! fish standpoint as to whether It is GO
ing to benefit you personally or the
institution with which you are con-
nected. let state pride assert itself
and turn in and work for the PROPOSE
tion as whole, regardless of whether
you or your institution derives any
particular benefits. The social fea-
ture alone should be a sufficient in
centive to activity.
1T has recently como to nv knowl-
edge that there has been rkposinp in
some sepulchre the remains Of a State
banking association. I understand that
az this meeting it is proposed to resur-
rect that which was supposed to be dead,
| trust that such may he the case, for il
seems incredible that in these davs of
lprogress that the first State to adopt the
Constitution of this republic should be
so far behind the other 46 States in
this respect
81 am informed that the secretary Of
the American Bankers Association ex-
lpected to be here today, but he is un-
avoidably detained. ] trust that the
time has arrived when the State Of Della.
ware will be numbered among those

spicuous by the absence of its name
from the list of membership of tn,
