WHAT CONSTITUTES A
SAFE SAVINGS BANK?

It has been said that no savings
bank is safer than its managers,
and this statement is absolutely
true
A man must have a peculiarly
constituted mind if he is. to grow
into a safe and efficient savings
bark manager.
1t is said that in the great major
ity of men, the gambling instinct
predominates. Men like to bet,
and in some men the spirit of gam
bling is so largely developed that it
is difficult to restrain the tempta-
ton to gamble whenever favorable
opportunity offers,
A banker, especially if he be one
who has charge of savings deposits
and trust funds, should be entirely
free from this gambling propensity.
When a note comes to him upon
which he must pass his judgment
as a banker, he must have that in
bred element in his makeup which
turns down instanter every sugges-
ton of risk, however fattering the
prospect of gain, through large
rate of interest, may be.
There are several savings banks
in Vermont whose managers have
never speculated in Wall Street,
and probably never will-not be
cause they might not make money
by so doing, but because they in
stinctively turn down everything
of an extra hazardous or gambling
character, as Wall Street dealing:
usually are.
The managers of the Hyde Parl
Savings Bank are particularly
proud of the fact that not one O
its directors ever engaged in Wal
Street speculations This does no
mean that they are brighter o
ADLER than other bank managers
but it does mean that they have
intuitively, that anti-gambling in
stinct which prompts them to turf
down every proposition involving
speculative risk.
This attitude of the directors o
the Hyde Park Bank accounts 70
the fact thas ii it's IS years of es
istence, it has never lost 4 dolla

CONTEST OF ELECTION

voters in North Danville are excluded
from participation in liquor elections
in the south, or major portion Of the
city, was In violation Of the consti-
tuition, in that II deprived certain
voters OF their rights
The court holds that the constitu-
ton prescribes no qualifications for
voters except in the matter OF voting
for members of the general assembly
and all offices elective by the people.
The election of April 18th was not
such an election. hence no voter could
have been deprived Of any right under
the constitution. The opinion. after
citing numerous authoritieA concludes
thus:
1.-The law authorizing the election
complained of was valid ana the cleo
ton was held in accordance with II.
No one is shown to have been de-
prived OF the right to vote nor has
the election been shown to be in
valid. But the court Is Of opinion
that IL was duly held and was valid.

missed"
