The Cuban gunboats Patria and
Barre have arrived at navy yard in
an American port and are now in dry
dock being extensively refitted to aid
in an aggressive patrol OF West lndian
waters against German submarines and
commerce raiders.
The trip Of these two warshlps to
American waters Is the direct result of
the recent visit TO Washington OF the
Cuban military and naval commission,
which went over plans with the navy
department looking to the complete CO.

BANNERS MISCONCEPTIONS.

lSlouX city Tribune.
Metropolitan bankers have adopted a
curious method Of building up their
business. Mr. Nanderllp and others
have vocaiized this method, bat none
Of them, perhaps. any more succinctly
than it Is thus expressed in the BaChe
Review:
Everyone Of those 100000 dcpos-
TORS Gin national banks in the United
States) is probably able out OF future
savings to take one or more Of the $50
bonds.
They must not be paid for in any
considerable amount out Of present de-
posts as that would weaken the
banks"
1t is hard TO follow this reasoning or
to interpret it except as scheme for
promotion Of the direct interests Of the
bank that uses it.
These bankers want to keep all they
have and hold all they got. They APP
pear to want their depositors TO let
them keep all the deposits they now
have and TO force their depositors to
borrow from them and pay back "out Of
future savings on their plan the only
way depositor can buy government
bond is to borrow back his own money
from the banker, and pay interest on it
while ne saves somewhere.
A little experience Of this kind will
make depostOrs so reckless they will
cease to save 1t might even drive
them to become postoffice depositors.
banker never ought to use the
word must to depositor. Reserve
that word for borrowers who refuse to
pay. 1t would be a safe bet that these
banks did not tell Mr.. Rockefeller when
he subscribed for $S5, 100000 Of bonds,
that he must pay them "out Of future
savings"
1t is possible, Of course, that these
metropolitan bankers have some differ
ent thought in their mind, but they
| were unfortunate in their expression OF
1t, II they have plan OF banking, quite
possible that they might not be able 20
pay their deposi:ors Oh demand; quite
possible that they might not be able, all
together to pay $2.000,000,0 600 worth OF
checks which their depositors might
offer for government bonds. But the
people Of the United States substi-
tuted a more flexible banking system
| than the bankers themselves had de-
vised, and 1t now is possible for the
banks to obtain the money on their col
lateral to pay fifty times the amount
Of this loan.
| Bankers seem to have a horror OF
Imitation and to be set against the
employment OF the means put into theii
hands for supplying money for neces-
sary purposes. But the people under
stand that the Imitation" In this case
alluded to takes place when the bonds
are issued and as their equivalent IN
cash is being paid out by the govern
ment

webster City Freeman Tribune.l
The Freeman Tribune wants to com
mend Attorney General Havner for his
vigorous campaign Of law enforcement,
and believes that the people of Iowa
will endorse his course. 1t Is not for him
to pass upon the desira bility of a GER
tain law. II is his business TO enforce it..
That the legislature blundered in not
overha ulinG the so-Cailed blue laws is
now apparent, but the legislature no
doubt thought the attorney general was
trying to run sandy" as the boys
say, when he declared he would enforce
every law upon the statute books. One
of the weak spots Of our national life
today is lax law enforcement, and when
the people are so fortunate as TO elect a
man who has the inclination and the
courage to do his full duty, they ought
10 stand by him TO the end. 1t has al
ready been threatened that Havner
cannot have a second term. He replies
that he doesn': have to hold the office.
out proposes to enforce the law as long
as he does hold it and let his future
political prestige take care of itself.
The Freeman Tribune likes that defy.
1t is the one every public official
ought to throw into the teeth OF men
who threaten him because he does his
duty. II is far better TO hold an office
one term and leave K with ones SELF
| respect than Il is too hold ii lifetime
by being the sapient and willing tool
OF sordid interests and of selfish men
who have no use for the government
| except for what they can get out Of it.
All honor TO Havner. May his tribe
grow and flourish throughout the land
