BANKS AND POLITICS.

When John r. Walsh tried to run a
newspaper and few railroads and
other enterprises in connection with
mis- banking business In Chicago and
on top of all that wanted to play the
BOSS in political party, that was a bad
thing for that newspaper, It was q bad
thing for the railroads and the other
enterprises: Il was finally a bad thing
for John r. Walsh and his banks, and
It can not possibly have been a bene-
fit TO the party that John r. Walsh
tried to boss.
Surely 1t ought to have been a les
son to other Chicago bankers.
But like other people. bankers do
rot learn by the experience of others.
They have to burn their own fingers
before they discover that the fire with
which they are playing is hot. There
is the Blonde Boss" Lorimer. He tried
to manage other lines Of business in
connection with the banking business.
he tried to be a boss in a party. And
now he has gone to the wall. Now he
may know that politics and banking
makes a bad mixture. He started life
as a street car conductor. 1t is not i'm
possible that his wealth may have all
been swept away and that he may
again as the wheel goes around find
his place on q street car. And perhaps
II 10 ever so much better to be the right
kind Of . street car conductor than the
wrong kind Of a banker.

A dream that the dusk brings Asar.
