LONGER CENTRALIZED

Washington, D. c, evidence Of the
decentralization Of the country's bank
ing power is furnished in one of the
latest reports Of the Comptroller of
the Currency. 1t is pointed out that
the 100 national banks with resources
above s25 100000 each, % are in New
York. Twenty years ago IA of the 19
hanks in this class were in New York
City
The 120 banks covered in the Comp

80 cities, while in 1899 the nineteen
large banks were concentrated in five

A RELIC OF BARBARISM
(From the waterloo Courier

- T.
We wonder sometimes if those who
wear the nifty garments fashioned
from the skins Of small animals that
Turk in the woods and by the streams,
realize the awful price in tortures am!
agony that was paid by thousands Of
dumb animals, that this outward
human display might be possible.
In other words do those who attire
themselves in these furry garments
realize that they came via the terrible
steel trap route, with it's merciless
Jaws covered with blood and silently
witnessing nights and days Of unspeak-
able horrors?
We look upon the ancient days with
n their racks and devices for torturing
human beings, as a period OF beastly
intolerance and Of barbarous, inhuman
people; yet the deadly steel trap con-
tinues to reap its harvest of millions
OF lives. Did the trap end the life Of
10 49,, promptly, no complaint
would be made. We pruu. 'at''e' noss
and other meat animals for the u.~
man, but they are dispatched in
humane and almost painless manner.
Yet millions Of little animals suffer the
most exquisite torture, for hours and
DAYS. until hunger or cold puts an end
to their misery, and all because Ct the
brutality Of the primitive steel trap.
Itmay be asked: well, how are you
going to catch these animals whose
fur is desired, unless you use the steel
trap The answer to this is: Invent
a better method. Produce device that
will accomplish the death of the ami
NAL without torturing it for days or
weeks The trouble is, no effort has
been made to improve on the method.
The steel trap of today is the steel trap
of fifty years ago.. except that it has
been made more inhuman by adding
agony-producing features If tenth
of the Inventive genius had been en-
ployed in devising humane method
/ of catching furbearing animals that
has been expended in the effort to pro-
duce scheme for stopping a talking
machine when the piece" ended, or
in perfecting a way to include color
scheme in moving pictures, such a trap
would have been available long ago
The trouble has been that nobody took
any interest in the matter; nobody
cared. There is nothing sportsmanlil1e
in the present method of trapping ami
mails. 1t is simply an inhuman method
of making money. The skins sell for
big price and any means that will
get he skins, no matter how awful the
suffering of the animals, goes"
So sar as the public is concerned it
is ignorance indifference and careless
ness. If some persons were to- be
caught out all night in the winter, with
his foot in wolftrap. finally rescued,
nearly dead. with foot smashed be-s
yond recovery, necessitating perhaps
the ampntation of part of the leg. that
would arouse the public and there
would be a loud demand that furbear-
ing animals be caught in a different
manner. OF course the dumb animals
have no advocate; they cannot tell, in
words of their anguish, and so the
people do not care.
