South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1916-04-04

Our service includes, without ex-
ira charge. the privilege of sitting
III the lobby evenings and listening
to Champ Clark tell stories"
l know of two or three persons
who moved there from other hotels
largely because of that very thing.
When Champ sits down in a cor
ner of the lobby and begins to re-
late yarns drawn from his long ex-
perience in the house, everybody
else ceases storytelling. For the
speaker talks most entertainingly
when entirely free from interrupt
ton.
Champ Clark has an odd way OF
laughing. He never laughs out loud.
and his mouth never changes ex-
preston at all. He does all his
laughing with his eyes.
Meyer London, the lone socialist
member of congress. bears a notice
able facial resemblance to Louis
Brandeis whom the president has
selected for the vacancy in the SUI
preme court.
Sen. James Hamilton Lewis, OF
illinois, got up to address a meeting
in the stock yards a year or two
ago. while arrayed in the natty garb
that he wears on most occasions.
The crowd began TO jeer him.
Whereupon Lewis said,
Il suppose you think when you
look at my clothes that I'm just a
plain darn fool. Well, 1 don't like
them any better than you do. I'll
take them off"
So he laid aside his silk hat, took
off his coat, vest and collar, and
stood before a cheering multitude
only half dressed end unashamed.

TO LIMIT NUMBER OF BANKS
Fremont, Neb.. Tribune.

(FremOnt, Neb., Tribune.)
Under a decision Of the supreme
court the state banking board is
given authority to exercise a right
TO limit the number of banks in a
given community. 1t will do this
in the matter of granting applica-
tions for charters 1t is limited that
the board is disposed TO take ad-
vantage of this grant Of power, be-
cause the number of state banks is
rapidly growing and the burden up
on the guarantee deposit fund is
greatly increased. 1t will make an
effort to curb the growing tendency
10 promote an excessive number Of
state banks"
While such action would seem to
limit the freedom Of opportunity it
cannot be denied that a smaller
number Of strong and sound banks
is better for the public than larg-
er number Of weaker ones. Eco
nomicaIly an excessive number Of in
stitutions Of any kind is an injury.
Fundamentally a banks chief bust
ness is affording safety and con-
venience 70 it's patrons. Just as
there is a limit beyond which sound
business would not go in multiply
ing banks there is also danger OF
injustice in arbitrarily denying the
free exercise of competition by a
board given such authority Large
concerns OF any kind can do bust
ness at a smaller cost by the dis
tribution Of overhead expenses TO a
larger output. But in limiting the
number there must be a correspond
! ing increase Of power vested in
boards OF regulation and control.
II this regulative authority is not
made virile and effective the public
will be Placing its neck in a moose.

Local Citizen Thinks Coat Of.

The 32nd Regiment as the Hawai-
ian Regiment, G. s. A.
This was the suggestion received
at the Star.Bulietin today. Each regl-
ment mas its own insignia, crest or
symbol placed on the flags and station.
cry The suggestion is that the crest
of the new regiment take the form OF
the Hawaiian coat-of-arms, and that
the new regiment, .born in Hawaii, /"
be known by a Hawaiian symbol
From standpoint Of friendship to
Hawaii and as a publicity move. the
man who suggested the plan the re-
fused to allow his name TO be used)
believes that Hawaii would gain bene-
fit In every way. He says that no mat
ter where the regiment would go, 1t
would always be known as the Hawai-
Ian regiment, and carry the coat-of-
arms as a reminder of IFS birthplace
as an army unit
He suggested that If Il could be ar
ranged, the first review after the for
nation of the regiment be given be-
fore Queen Liliuokalani.

Everywhere We found the people

road that was not in good condition,
we called it to the attention OF the
proper authorities. who promised to
make the necessary changes at once.
This spring has brought the high

the trip without mishap. We adhered
closely to q schedule made IN advance
calling for daily meetings in 80 cities
and towns along the route. The inter-

tested by the fact that from 100 to
1000 persons attended each of these
meetings.
During the trip we crossed three
