ANSWERING THE PEOPLES DEMANDS

The Leader is indebted to Sena-
tor Norwood for the article from
his pen which appears in another
column, If more Of the repre-.
sentatives of the people were con.
Icerned about affairs at home to the
extent that they would. like the
Senator from Pike and Franklin
take a few moments to personally
inform their constituents now and
then of their position on matters
before them and progress of the
principles they are known to advo-
cate, the people themselves would
take q more vital interest in whom
they elect to official position and
IN the public questions with which
they have to deal.
The restrictions and SAFE
guards" to the banking law to
which the able Senator refers and
to other laws as we'll. tend to re-
assure those concerned about their
tremendous responsibility growing
with the years in elections by the
people in every department of gov
ernment. while it reminds them
that at last a minimizing" of
crime and of loss to the people
through loose banking business. as
in the matter referred to BY Sena-
tor Norwood, is all that the laws
can accomplish anyway.
That our representatives in the
Legislature are earnestly striving
to meet the demands Of the people
for a safe banking system and have
stood for them in the face Of Stub
born resistance and every argument
the opposition could muster. Is q
cause of graduation and commen-
dation.
That Mississippi has taken a step
forward on the subject of bank
regulation is assurance that never
again will she retrace her steps to
the extent that depozitors will
meet the loss and disaster they
have suffered in the State the past
few months, The people who rule
can protect themselves through
the representatives they elect.

fidence so devoutly wished fol
among the people,"
The Leaders, long and honorable
record as the champion of the peo.
pies rights leads me to the con-
clusion that this editorial was
written while its author was under
mlsapprehension as to just what
the banking bill as 1t passed the
Senate. provides on the subject of
election of bank examiners.
If the people are to elect any
officer they certainly should have
the right to elect those officers who
are to have the administration of
the most important department of
our state government the banking
department. Banks. II should be
Remembered. make their profits and
transact their business not nearly
so much with the capital furnished
by their stockholders, as with the
money entrusted to their custody
by the depositors Mississippi has
gone on record time and again ia
favor of the election ef all officers.
Mississippi was the first state in
the Union to practically elect her
United States Senators. and she is
now to elect her judges and chan
cellors. Today | introduced ID the
Senate concurrent resolutions sub
mittlng constitutional amendments
providing for the election of Ius-
tees of our supreme court. The
whole trend Of public sentiment all
over this country is toward the
election of officers, and not only So,
but the people are demanding the
extreme right to RECALL their
officers when they fail to do their
duty.
This being true. the Legislature
cannot do otherwise than give the
people the right to say who shall
administer the affairs Of what il
to be BY far the most important Of
our state departments. excepting.
of course, the Governor. the Legis-
lature and the Judiciary.
But the Senate 10 order to meet
the very objection urged BY The
Leader has thrown around the
elective scheme restrictions and
safeguards which will insure the
election Of Only competent men to
| fill the Office Of bank examiners.

satisfied themselves of the general
worthiness of the applicant they
must then subject him to a rigid
examination to test his knowledge
of the general theory and practice
of accounting and banking, of the

tional banking laws, and, in q
word, ascertain by written exam-
ination If he is technically fitted to
discharge the duties of a bank ex-

Commissioners that he is technical

themselves that he is a man of A

The judgment of the Senate was
that these restrictions would bar in
competent or unworthy men from
becoming candidates for bank ex-

the right sort of man in each SUI

furnish you with copy of the

as am sure you, would agree with
me that it is the best legislation on
the subject of bank regulation and

event OF its final enactment by the
legislature. | am confident that it
will result in minimizing the loss
to the people through loose banking
business. and eventually establish

TERRIFIC BATTLE

For q week a fierce battle has been

Of Paris, and the two kilograms be-
low gives the reader as good a guess
anybody in this country can get:

mary communication this afternoon
regarding the military operations Of
the allied armies.
that the battle late today is not going
SO well with the allies as during the
early part Of the day and yesterday.
London, Sept. 10.-A telegram
from Field Marshal French in France
shows that fighting Of the fercest
possible character is in progress east
of Paris, that the German forces are
exhausted, that the allies are attack
ing with wonderful speed and impet-
uosity, and that the Germans have
been given no chance to recover
from the effects of their rush from
the north.
The Austrians appear to have been
badly beaten by the Servians and
Russians. Our report says that the
Russians are now marching on Berlin.
What is claimed to be q late dis
patch from Paris reads as follows:
