Banking, Prize Fighting and
Bootlegginq

Now and then bank officials get sporty and
engage in outside matters or enterprises of one
sort of another beyond recognized and legiti-
mate banking business. When they do and the
thing goes up in smoke the banking business
gets n black eye which it does not deserve. For
the great number of banks in operation in this
country, and Canada can well be included, their
business affairs are directed and managed with
scrupulous integrity and. devotion to the inter
ests of patrons and stockholders. With these
honestly conducted financial institutions which
go on dry after day serving the people and clear
ing millions and millions of dollars worth of
business there can be no complaint yet they are
made to suffer in reputation and prestige be-
cause banks and bankers elsewhere go astray.
1t is n parallel case with the one minister of the
gospel who falls from grace. All the members
of the same profession are made to bear the
odium.
We have had but recently instances in a near
by state, where several banks of good repute
were brought to collapse because the officers
became too much interested in prize fighting.
And about the same time that the American
banks went under, one of the Oldest and sup
posedly most conservative Institutions of the
Dominion crashed with resultant loss and dis
grace the like of which was unknown in Can
adian history. And one of the assigned causes
of the tragedy was bootlegging or rum running
liquor into the United States.
1t is the very unusual thing for banks on their
own or their officers account to engage in prize
fighting andsbootlegging And nothing more for
Ieign to banking can be imagined. Yet when they
do, they should fail and financiers back of any
such transactions should be made to save cred
itors from the loss of a single penny.
To the credit of the banking fraternity, as has
been said, these incidents are very few and n
great distance between, and it is unfortunate
that legitimate banking and honest bankers
should be made TO bear even the slightest
shadow of suspicion because Of the acts of men
in the same profession who have proved IN.
worthy of the confidence reposed in them.
