BANKS AND THE GUARANTY.

| Striking figures showing the rapid growth Of
national banks under the federal reserve sys-
tenn and the rise of the United States to first
place as banking power, appear in the annual
report of the comptroller of the currency. The
comptroller says the national banks are strong
/ en- safer and more closely observant of the
laws and more efficiently managed than ever
before This fact is especially impressive and
important now while the life of the nation and
the great alliance Of which we are part depend
so largely upon our ability to furnish the enor-
nous financial resources indispensable for vic
tory. On October thirty one, 1914, prior to the
establishment of the federal reserve SYSTEM ma
tonal bank resources amounted to ST., 49,, 0O0
1000 After three years operation under the
federal reserve act, the resources on November
twenty 1917 are reported to be $1S,553, OOO. 900,
an increase of $4,000 100000, or six per cent.
The banking power of the United States is
seven times as great as in 1890. We have be-
come great creditor nation. In the last three
calendar years the total balance of trade In our
favor has exceeded eight billion dollars.
The comptroller urges the banks to follow a
liberal policy in the matter of interest rates He
Irevives an old proposal by recommending "the
enactment Of a law to provide for the guaranty
of all deposits in national banks where the
amount to the credit Of each individual is five
thousand dollars or less" His statement that
the greatest misery resulting from bank fail
ures has been suffered by those whose deposits
in banks represented their entire savings will
mot be disputed. Whether anything would be
gained by adoption of the guaranty plan is a
question that should be solved by expert inves-
tigaton But in the future, as in the past, the
best protection for those who deal with banks is
to be found in the character Of bankers and the
wisdom and efficiency shown in the manage
ment Of banking institutions. If all the banks
of the nation were so wisely managed as are
the financial institutions of Keol1uk, there
would be no demand in any quarter for guar
anty of deposits.

TELLING THE TRUTH.

Cedar Rapids Republ ican: No one

what good feeling 1t is to tell the

self in deceits and hypocrisies and in
all moral pretenses that might now
take the name of camoufiage-since
we have acquired that blessed word
from the French, who are our allies.
Few men really appear to be what
they are. They cover up and adorn
and pad their moral and mental
selves quite as effectively as their
physical bodies And after they have
practiced this long enough they ac-
quire not only the habit, but many
or them think that they really are
what they pretend to be-they have
succeeded in deceiving themselves,
also
But, perhaps, it is Just as we'll
that it is SO. If the truth were al

teller is apt to be a disagreeable per-
son.
Those who attend the cinemas-
that's English for "movies"-have
often realized that they loved chill
dren on the screen. Most human
beings love children anywhere, for
they are truthful and genuine When
they are young enough they do not
pretend-they are just what they
are. That is why they are so fine
on the screen. But, alas, how soon
they learn from their elders to try
to be something else. That sweet
genuineness is like the down on the
peach, the blush on the rose in the
wildwoods, it does not last long. And
then comes the sicklied smile-or
that pious something that no angel!
ever taught human being, for
angels are artistic creatures. And
so is the truth artistic-the most
beautiful thing in the world, the best
and most precious-but do not tell
it too often, for it might increase the
mortality list
