Letting in the l.ight.

Last week a change was made IN the
doors of the main entrance to the building
of the Security Trust and Safe Deposit
Co. at Sixth and Market streets. large
section of the wooden panels OF each oil
the solid doors WAS removed and large
panes of glass inserted. The result is that
the interior of the banking room is clearly
visible from the street.
How vividlv this recalls the conditions
that prevailed years ago in respect ot
banking institutions and OF business
houses generally Formerly they were
scaled from outside view after business
hours Heavy doors were securely locked,
windows were covered by solid wooden
shutters The interiors were rs dark as
HadcS
In those days this apparent outside Sc
curity, this enclosing OF the inner depart
mcnts of banking institutions and large
stores in darkness, was regarded as an
element of security. But II was not. 1t
was an aid To thicvsh burglars IN their
efforts TO secure the money stored WITHIN
these closed and darkencd premises,
once they secured admission.
Many Of our people will recall the at
tempt of daring burglars TO rob the
National Bank of Delaware IN Novcm-
bcr, 1873 They secured and bound the
cashier and members Of his family IN the
residence portion of the bank building
But for the daring of young woman a
member of the household, who escaped
and gave tho alarm they would have been
successful. Once they had stiflcd the m
mates of the dwelling. they could have
worked quietly and securely The bank
portion Of the building was then closed
and dark chamber Every window was
covered bv outside shutters and the doors
were solid The burglars could have
worked M leisure and no one outside
would have been aware OF their presence.
But many things have been learned
since then. and one OF them IS that there
is no better protection against burglars
than light 50 there has been a revolution
in the arrangement of banking institutions
and other places of business where many
and valuable articles are kept Instead OF
being closed and almost hermet'caily
sealed each night thcy arc left open TO
public view. with windows unohstructcd
hv shutters and doors made q frame and
glass. - that th, interior is always tree
to the sight Of those on the outside
Formerly. darkness was depended upon
as security against burglary Now the
light is tho great dependency For burglars
cannot operate successfully in . Mace that
!, open 10 the view q AT who pass by the
place they select for their operations.
Ana this j. why All stores OF any mo-
mcnt ana especially All banking cStab-
liShments. are now open % the outside
view at an times, especially at nights.
Of course banks have their guards and

and the publicity are their greatest pro

Opposes Old Method.

"The conclusion that 1 am ready to
state with confidence is that it would
be a disservice alike to the country
and to the owners of railroads to re-
turn to the old conditions unmodi-
fled. Those are conditions of re-
straint with development. There
is nothing affirmative or helpful about
them. What the country chiefly
needs is that all of its means Of trans
portation should be developed. its rail-
ways, its waterways, It's highways and
its countryside roads. Some new ele-
ment of policy, therefore, Is absolutely
necessary-necessary for the service
