Marvellous Prosperity Of Stale
Banks Told By Virginia Bank
Examiner

NlCumOuus dss OCpt. 10 LESS
than ten years after the end OF
the war between the States,
which devastated Virginia. de-
stroyed her mills and manufac-
tories, laid waste her farms and
swept her financial institutions
away, the banks had again be-
gun to function.
On June 2e. 1874, the total re-
sources of Virginia's national
banks amounted to $l3, $40, 600 !;
just how strong her state banks
were at this time. only two OF
which can not boast pre- war
existence, can not be stated as
the necessary figures are not
convenient for use here, it is safe
presume however that her
9 ale banks were not more than
half or two thirds as strong as
her national institutions.
The figures from 1874, to 1904.
are also not available. hence
there is of necessity a long
stretch of years upon which this
statement must remain silent.
On. November 10. 1904. the
total resources of Virginia s
state banks amounted to $52,.
$50. 207.45 with l49 banks re-
porting and on November d,
1908, to SOL. 40l, lao 81, with 23e
banks reporting.
From the installation of the
State Corporation Commission
March End, 1903 up to the Gre
alton of the Banking Division,
the Commission required fnan.
cial statements of the state
banks, but there were no exam
inatiops of these institutions al
are had now, an examination be-
ing made only upon an ORDER Of
the commission, in which case il
was necessary to employ accoun
tants to execute such order.
Bv an act of the Genera
Assembly of Virginia, approved
March II, 1910, provision wa.
made for the organization by the
State Corporation Commission O.
the Bureau to be known as til,
Banking Division. the duties o.
which, under a Chief Examiner
were to examine and generally
supervise the conduct of the state
banks.
The first report of the Chiel
Examiner of Banks under the
law was dated December 81, 1910.
This report gives the total re-
sources of the state BANKS on
November 10. 1910. as sos, 72O,.
069. so, with 247 banks report
ing.
On October 81, 1914. the total
resources of state banks amour
ted to $S7. 918, 904. 90. with 267
banks reporting. on November
IL, 1919, the total resources of
the state banks amounted to
5f99. 436, 988.54. with 312 banks
reporting. On March 81, 1924.
$40 institutions reported total re-
sources of 1921. 1913, 972.18, and
on June Both, 341 institutions re-
ported resources totalling $685.
604.67 SO.
Thus it appears that despite
the defiasion of currency throug h
which they have been passing
since the end of the World War
thei banks have continued +.
move steadily forward.

tion is being unduly financed. In other
words. whether money is being raised

fortnightly interval is as practical a
method to this end as a shorter one.
If there is disposition on the
part of campaign committee to con
ceal returns until after the election
is an accomplished fact, no time-limit
rule can possibly avail to prevent.
But there is no evidence of such a
disposition. Doubtless the chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
when he is named. will make the same
agreement as that of Mr.. Butler. And
probably the La Toilette organization
will proclaim it's revenues. Perhaps it
will do so with a proud flourish of
poverty if the funds are small. or
with a sweeping gesture of aff1uence
If they are generous. giving evidence
of a widespread disposition to help
the new party.
Legitimate campaign expenses are
heavy. Everybody understands that
it costs money to run a country wide
canvass. There are printing bills,
postage bills, speakers expenses. rent
Of headquarters and hire of clerks.
hire of halls for meetings and a thou
sand and one entirely legitimate items
of cost. The only question is where
the funds to meet these bills come
from and whether the donors are
seeking undue advantages. Chairman
Butler promises that no money will
le taken from corporations. He does
not nix d positive limit upon the size
of individual contributions. but says
that a reasonable limit" will be put
upon the campaign expenses. He
wisely declines TO put positive linn
itation in advance. Nobody knows
what will be obtained or what will
be needed.

WiIlyx Refused to Recognize Failure.

before he was twenty-seven he did
business of $500,000 a year.
Becoming enthusiastic over auto
mobiles, he contracted to sell all of
the 500 cars to be put out in year

he found the company ready to go
into the hands of a receiver, and
all his funds tied up in it. 1t was

tional opera where the hero is pugi-
run siugger.
There has been American opera with
the Indian as the main show, but
though historians are keenly interest
ed in the Indian most of our folks do
not warm to him as a hero, and the
folks refuse to stand for him as hero
in a grand opera. If the patrons were
small boys the Indian could be shown
in opera, but if he were not shot in the
foot or plugged fun of holes by the
hero OF the piece the opera would be
frost.
There are difficulties in the way of
prize-fight opera. We will stand for
an operatic bullfighter whose arnrs
and legs show that he could not lick
the calf of muley COW, and for
operatic bandits that would not have
the nerve to hold up one-armed man.
But an operate prize fighter would
have to look the part. He might get

being told that his heart was in his
| work; that he labored for more than
dollars, and that his life was richer
and better because it was true-Alvey
A. Adee, quiet, unassuming, patient
and sincere, has set standard in
public life that could hardly be i'm
| proved on"
Through four decades" the Mil
waukee Journal declares. "Mr. Adee
| represented the thing most needed in
our diplomatic service-permanence
| When it is considered that this of
hc1al actually determined many deli
| cate matters of policy. and conduct.
the Springfield Republican thinks
the question naturally arises whether
some important political posts in the
Government service could not advan-
tageousiy be made non POLITICAL"
for there may be fewer Adees, be-
| cause there is so little chance to de-
velop them" CharacteriZing Adee
| mot as a party hack. but solely the
servant of the State" the New York
Evening World believes: IN a sense
he is a symbol of the future. The
time will come when the diplomatic
service will be taken out of the party
politics. as in other countries. Men
especially equipped by study and tenn
perament for the foreign service will
be held. Broken-down politicians and
heavy contributors TO campaign funds
will not longer find it possible to enter
without qualifications. Adee is the first
Of the new order"
4 X =
The Cleveland Plain Dealer points
out, Politics never touched Adee. He
was supposed to be Republican, but
primarily he was an efficient public
servant. and if he gave any thought
to politics it never interfered with
his efficiency. The public service has
too few men of this kind. There can
not be too many. 1t is very doubtful
if any one can be found adequately
Adee was unique" In the loss of Mr..
Adee, says the Columbus Dispatch,
1.-The Government has lost living
encyclopedia of diplomatic informa-
ton, such as it has had in no other
one man ever connected with the
state Department since its organiza-
ton" The savannah Press praises
Mr.. Adee as "a faithful servant of
the republic. a man who, through all
administrations and under all politi-
cal influences. retained his place in
the public service through sheer abil-
ity, application and adapta bility."
/ The Rochester Herald tells how 1t
was said of Mr.. Adee that he was one
of the few Americans who, previous
to the World War, had an intimate
knowledge OF French village and ru-
raj life" because 'he delighted in
travelling through France on bicy-
Gle. and would stop anywhere the
night overlook him" and lin that
way he acquired invaluable contacts
with the French people and learned
their habits of thought as cannot be
dopa in Paris
