SATURDAY EVENING LETTER
By Justice J. E. Robinson

ron their debts: In that way shrewd
banker may commence with $4,000
and clean up $50,00O,000 in few
years.
In accordance with the recent
amendments of the constitution the
Legislature has passed state banking
act, which is now in full force and ef-
feet The act provides for the organi-
zation, control and management Of a
state bank, with ciptal of $4,000, 900.
The bank is made a depositary for
public monies and when any money is
deposited in the bank the depositor is
released from all liability for the same
while on deposit. All deposits are
guaranteed by the state and are ex7
empt from taxation; and that is all
right. The act may be rated as a
good beginning and a long step in the
right direction; but it is only a begin
ming; it is too long and it contains too
much detail matter, too many hamper
ments, too much red tape. The man.
ayers arc bound, as it were, with new
ropes and are not vested with discre-
ton as liberal and proper as the man.
ayers of other banks. Hence they
cannot be as efficient. I think that in
drafting the act Bishop Lemke was
too meek and conservative.
"He fingered shivering on the brink
And feared to launch away" Z,
He was not sufficiently deaf to the
adverse winds and adverse storms of
oratory. ~" "a

most every county. The directors have
all the general powers of directors ir

with any needless hamperments. The
bank stock is exempt from taxation
and loans are made at four per cent
on any good collateral or bankable Sc

"You Can't Fool All the People All
the Time"
There is no public utility so impor-
tant as banking. In New Zealand
state banking has reduced the annual
debt burden so per cent. In North
Dakota the yearly burden of debt is
$5O,OOO,0OO. In the United States it is
81 100000. 1t is equal the total
value of the average wheat crop. The
prevailing system OF banking and US
ury is fast amassing the wealth Of the
world. Here are some figures to read
and consider:
A. d. 1913
Wealth in u. S. ..... $3.50 O,000, ,OOO, 900
Gold and silver ...... 3,OO0,O 100000

Net earnings for year 100000
You will note that the bank deposits
and discounts are several times great
or than the total currency of the coun-
try. This shows that in most cases
the bank loans merely it's credit and
that it loans the same over and over
again. 1t collects interest on it's debts

Butler SIT. Scott 4.

The Butler ball team continued
their winning streak Sunday by de-
feating the heavy hitting Fl. Scott
team by the above score. As Orear,
Buffers star pitcher. was suffering
from feion' on his finger and was
unable to get into the game, Man
ager Smith secured Pitcher Lord,
from Archie He is one pf the best
pitchers that has shown on the local
diamond this season and he held the
husky Jayhawkers to four hits,
which is some pitching feat. Ellis,
one of Buffers old time players, oc-
cupied first base, and while he is not
the Tink of old, he managed to get
two hits out of three times at bat and
his hook slide was entirely too fast
for the Fl. Scott basemen. The high
wind made judging fly balls almost
impossible and the larger part of the
errors charged to the Butler players
could be charged to the wind blow
ing the ball. The boys were on their
toes all the time and went after ev-
erything that came their way. Wal
ter Williams was home from Column
bia for the day and played his usual
snappy game, both at the bat and on
the field.

newed Bolshevik efforts throughout
Europe, which will spread to Ameri-
ca; further chaos among the newer
nationalikies abroad; starvation for
millions of persons in Europe during
the coming winter, and the probable
forcing of this country to enter the
League of Nations as "a novitiate,
hand in hand with Germany" will
result if the United States continues
to delay ratification of the proposed
peace treaty, without change,
Thomas w. Lamont of J. P. Nor

issued here tonight.
Lamont, who spent Eve months
abroad with the American Peace
commission, serving as member of
the Supreme Economic Council, the.
Inter-allied Commission, and as one,
of the financial advisers to the Unit
ed States delegation, asserted that
the whole world is crying for peace,

Since it became evident to the

an alarming fail in the rates Of for-

One policeman was dangerousl.

created police squad to curb motor
car thievery, were searching for the

tity of nitroglycerin and had entered
the dark hallway of an old building
in the business district when the ban
dts opened fire and a running fight
OF several minutes began.
Government bonds and securities
totaling $8l,74o, representing nearly
the entire loot stolen by bandits from
the State Bank Of Baileyville, Kas.,
Thursday, were recovered.
The bonds, found in suitcases in a
stolen motor car. were returned to
officials of the Baileyville bank late
yesterday.
Harry Clayton, one of the three
bandits who held up a poker game in
a gambling house at 1909 Grand Ave-
nue. early Thursday night, probably
fatally wounding one of the players,
and an hour later was wounded and
CAPTURED by the police, was identified
positively late yesterday as one of
the trio who robbed the Baileyville
bank. Identification was made by J.
A. lehman, cashier of the bank, who
was in the bank at the time of the
robbery.
Complaints from Kansas and Mis-
souri, sources frequently made to the
Kansas City police and officials have
charged that repeated bank robberies
in the two states, bold robberies of
motor cars that have not been con-
fined to this city alone, and several
killings are the work of organized
bands which have followed the "pro-
fession" of robbery regularly and es-
capped detection here. One such in
