NO CHANGES IN SERVICE
BECAUSE Of POLITICS.
Secretary RedfieId Announces
His Policy Affecting the
Steamboat Inspectors.

Politics will be considered In no way
whatever as q cause for removing men
from the steamboat inspection service.
according to letter which Secretary
Redfield of the Department Of Commerce
has written to Representative Leib Of In
diana. While this particular letter deals
with appointments in the steamboat In
spection service, it is believed that It an
nounces a policy which will be followed
throughout the various branches of the
department The publication of the letter
was made necessary, according to officials
of the department, after certain excerpts
from it were made public in such way
as to reflect upon Secretary Redheld. The
Secretary decided to make the entire let
ter public in order that his position might
not be misunderstood.
Irrespective of Politics.
Where I find an officer of the service
who has been loyal. considerable, firm and
efficient, and who has the requisite knowl-
edge, experience and character" said the
Secretary in his letter, II intend to re-
tain him irrespective Of his views on
subjects Of national politics.
IF. on the other hand, an officer Of the
incompetent, disloyal or lacking in equip
ment for his work, or needless Of his
sacred and solemn duty for the protection
of life or so regardless of his position
as national officer as to take an ag-
gressive part in partisan politics, 1 shall
endeavor to replace such an officer with
a democrat who has the requisite quail
fications.
Policy Heretofore Observed.
II am glad to say that policy similar
to that suggested has heretofore, in some
measure. prevailed. The supervising in
spectors In New York and in Pittsburgh
are both democrats. and the supervising
inspector in Cleveland has the indorse-
ment of the democratic mayor and rep
resentative from that city and many
others. 1t does not seem to me wise. po-
litical judgment to lower the standards
set by our political adversaries. / prefer.

national, can afford to become members

the declarations assert, that the great
majority of country national banks must
surrender their charters or retire from
business
Objections Given.
BY country banks, it was explained,
was meant banks, operating under either
state or national charters. whose capital
is not less than $4,000 nor more than
$4,000. The resolutions object to the
segregation of savings deposits. to set
ting aside of separate capital and the
creation of two banks under the same
management and under one roof.
The exchange and savings sections of
the bill, the resolutions add, would make
most of the country banks show net
operating losses.
At a session of the finance committee
the association was shown to be In It's
best condition financially in four years,
with cash balance of about $1S5,O0O.

ment of the states resources.

dition of the state banking institutions,

Hager May Run for Congress.

Washington, April 13.-Following
the visit here of S. w. Hager, appli-
can for the Owensboro collectoBhip,
she report is rife that If he Is not
appointed to that office he may be
a candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Congress in the Second
District. ..
Representative Stanley has not de-
cided whether he will run for the
United States Senate or will seek to
succeed himself in the House.
1t is impossible that the reported
attitude OF Judge Hager may accel-
crate a decision by Mr.. Stanley. Judge
Hager had conference with Sena-
tor James, which it is said was OF
a friendly nature. Senator James Is
not for him for Collector but that
does not appear to affect their per-
sonal relations.
