OLD FREEDMAN'S BANK
FAILURE NEAR W|ND-UP
Little More From Assets to Pay De-
positors-Echo Of the
Past.

Former depositors who have received 81
per cent in dividends from the defunct
Freedman's Savings and Trust Com
pany, which went into liquidation in 1874.
will receive little more from assets OF the
most of whom entered claims with the
government, and most Of whom have re-
ceiyed the full amount Of the dividends
paid. There may be a matter Of a few
thousand dollars to be divided sooner or
later, when the last possible dollar is
turned into the Treasury in liquidation of
the remaining assets.
There is now about 81 200 in the Treas
ury to the credit Of the account The
remaining assets will figure up only a
few hundred dollars, payments still due
on real estate sold on the installment
plan by the corporation during its ac-
tivities. John Shelton Williams, control
ler of the currency, is commissioner OF
the defunct organization, and has au-
thority to declare a dividend when 1t Is
possible to do so. The next dividend VIII
probably be the last. and will net only
few cents on the dollar to the credit OF
each depositor's claim

Loans Result in Bankruptcy.

Investigation discovered that money had
been loaned on real estate listed at great
ly inflated values. In 1874 che corpora
ton went into bankruptcy and a commits
sion of three men was created by Con-
gress to liquidate its assets.
At the time of the failure the bank had
branches in thirty-three communities in
the south, and its depositors numbered
81 coo. The commissioners were inundat-
ed with claims, a great part of them from
individuals who never had cent on de-
posit with the institution, which added to
the labors of the commission.
The first dividend of 20 per cent was
made in 1873. Four dividends in all. ag-
gregating g. per cent of the deposits,
have already been made. In 1881 Con-
gress gave the accounts Of the defunct
institution into the control. ex ofhcio. OF
the controller of the currency, and d.
rected that any depositor whose claim
was not made within two years would be
barred from participation In the divi-
dends. This restriction was withdrawn
in 1899, when all depositors were made
eligible to the entire amount due them
up to the proportion of 81 per cent, de-
clared in dividends. Nearly all deposit
ors have received all this amount.
Compensation for the Work.
Congress, by the law of 1881, voted
salary of $1,000 a year to the controller
of the currency as remuneration for his
work for the defunct corporation. Con-
troller Williams, on taking Office, found
that the amount to the credit of the fund
would hardly bear Il years salary. and
decided that he would not accept the
Part of the assets of the corporation
consisted of money due on fifty or sixty
acres of land in Buford county, S. c.,
known as the Old Home subdivision of
the Lukens' plantation. This had been
cut up into parcels and sold to negro set
tiers on the installment plan. Each lot
cost not more than $50. and was paid for
in S. installments at regular intervals.
A deed has just been issued by the con-
troller of the Treasury, conveying one of
the lots to the purchaser, marking the
final payment Of the purchase price
There are still six or eight such lots re-
naming to be settled for. Sums varying
from $40 up are due on each of these
and are the only prospective assets of the
corporation not yet liquidated.

TARIFF HAS WORKED INJURY
Country Is Beginning to Notice the Re-
suits of Democratic Estates
manshp."

The Democratic tariff inflicted bur
den upon American industry without
giving any benefit to anyone except
the foreign manufacturer. 1t did not
lower prices to the consumer, the thing
that it was advertised and guaranteed
to do Its capacity for reducing is
confined to reducing profits and wages
and the number of the employed.
1t does not supply the necessary rev.
enue for the expenses OF the govern
ment That is why new tax is now
being forced upon the country under
the name of war tax" The real
reason for the new levy is that the
tariff law as fixed by the Democrats
does not promise sufficient revenue to
cover the expenses of the government,
even with the great internal revenue
receipts, and the income tax rs a new
source of revenue.
If the Democratic party would keep
faith with the people, if it had regard
for its platform pledge and promise, it
would revise its own tariff law. The
party promised tariff that would pro-
duce revenue. In its 1912 platform is
this sentence: 1--WE appeal to the
American people to support us in our
demand for tariff for revenue only"
What the Democratic party gave to
the country was tariff for disaster
only. 1t has borne no good fruit. 1t
has not decreased the cost of living; it
has not produced the revenue neces-
sary to support the government in
time Of profound peace within our
borders. But its cost to the American
producer is $27 each second of the
working day.

The nation was given an inspiring

was the discussion Of national prob

FEW NOW WHO FAVOR RECALL
Roosevelt Idea Seems to have Been
RELOCATED to the List Of Ex-
pIoded Crazes

The theory OF the recall of judges
which reached enactment in some
states and was widely advocated by
the more radical elements in others,
seems to be losing ground and gradu.
ally falling into the list of exploded
crazes. One of the prominent exam
pies of the change is Governor Osborn
of Michigan, who was two years ago
advocating the nonsense of the Pro-
gressfve program. He now perceives
the weakness of the proposal for sub
mitting judicial recall to popular cleo
tion and advocates the election Of
judges for life in order to free them
from political domination But he
mixes up the matter by talking about
the removal of unfit judges by petit
ton at popular elections, which would
be putting their official tenure under
political influence.
In the advocacy OF leaving the judi
cial power uninhuenced by politics
there is no cultivation of the belief
that the judges are perfect. They are
human like every other instrumental
ity. But the undoubted need of i'm
proving their tardiness and their ten
dency 10 observe prescribed forms
rather than to deal out justice Is not to
be met by making them subject to the
favor of politics or making their deci-
sions liable to be overturned by the
popular opinion at given election.
1t is essential to the administration OF
justice that it shall be as free as pos
sible from subservience to the popular
whim OF the movement. This is only
to be done by making the judicial
tenure either for life or for long
terms except in cases where the mis-
conduct is so fragrant as to require
removal by impeachment.
1t should be understood that both
courts and legal practice require posi-
tive reforms. But even as they are,
they are better than any other known
forms of setting the questions with
which they deal

definition. But in the presence of the

Of monopoly ever devised, such a def
