Address to South Ameri-

FIRM STAND FOR FLAG

Frank A. vanderlip. president Of the
National City Bank, clearly Indicated
yesterday the solid support that the
financial and business community will
give the Administration in a Arm stand
in the German crisis In an address at
the Merchants Association luncheon at
the Hotel Astor to the delegates to the
Pan American Financial Conference.
He did not mention Germany. II was
the first public expression OF the atti-
tude of the banking community.
IAN OF us who have gathered here
to do you honor belong to the, world
of commerce and OF trade said Mr..
Nanderlp to the Central and South
American delegates. But II I know
anything OF the moral fibre OF these
men who are here to greet you. and OF
the multitude of men like them who
make up the true life and character OF
this nation. there is in their hearts =
deep patriotism. a broad humanity,
recognition OF high national ideals
which is utterly detached from and Is
far above the mere development OF trade

Qualcy Going Too.

The scheme has worked so well that
in spite of overcrowding-ther- are
1850 men in the prison. which was
built for l.200--the men have cvinced
desire to put up with any Inconvenience

Now. no one ever thought Of putting
another man into the cell with Mr. Cum
Minis II was task difficult enough to
get MIN alone into one OF these narrow
places. Nevertheless Mr.. CummIns Is
tired OF Sing Sing. So the men think
that IN the course Of his duties he got

Charge Against Quaicy.

charges against Qualey, 1t being alleged
by kid Dropper" kaplan that Qualey
had offered him new shirt and several
nerkties--the prisoners are allowed to
get such things for themselves now IL
they wist--f he would lay his efficient
fists against the noses Of "Toddy" COL
Inns and Phil Able, two Df "Bosco's"
licutenants. The charge was dismissed
by the court. Judge Willetts presiding.
but Mr.. Cummins decided he had had
enough. He handed In his resignation
to the executive committee. Qualey fol-
lowed suit. and now comes the news that
both are to leave the prison
The men see nothing untoward in the
situation. The fact that big Bill" Cum
minis can't run things to suit himself
they say, does not indicate any lack of
ability on the part OF the men to mana re
their affairs They think rather that IL
shows the efficiency of the scheme as
medium through which prison opinion
may express Itself The fact that Cum
minis RES gned before the recall was
Instituted is also n source of satisfac-

WE WANT MORE LAWS

There are some who say that We have too many jaws. That the people do not know one-tenth of the laws affecting them and therefore. We might as well be without laws as having laws that We don | know anything about. That may be all true, ou in our opinion we need more laws One to prevent anyone breaking the laws and the other to compel anyone to return what they borrow. When these two acts are passed need no more. Here tofore, the reason perhaps made laws so rapidly and abundantly was because broke them so eas- iy. As matter of fact very few of Us go through the day without actually infringing upon the toes Of a statute. Men break laws in charitable in stirution, such in public library. for instance Of course 1t takes to do that sort ot thing but mean are common, so common. For that reason, need two more laws. One to prevent-not prohibit, you understand. because prohibition never prevents-anyone from breaking the laws and the other to compel the return of anything We may borrow.
 The lost magazines in our library were not de lberately stolen, they merely borrowed but un fortunately, the borrowers forgot to return them. Just the same when they borrowed cur Sunday dinner which they never returned However, We want law to prevent anybody from borrowing the pubic magazines while the librarian is away.
