Rainbolt of Norfolk Opposes the Bankruptey Law—E. Benjamin Andrews Speaks at Bangquet. From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 14.—(Special.)—~The State Bankers elecfed officers at thelr meeting today besides listening to several good papers. The attendance numbered over 300. The officers elected were: Jacob Trenory, Pawnee City, president; E. F. Folda, Schuyler, vice president. By & change of the constitution the remaining officers will be appointed by the executive committee of fifteen. J. R. Cain, cashier of the Stella bank, talked on “What are we Here For?' He answered the query in a humorous veln, besides telling of the great need of banks and thelr good to the communities in which they thrived. Objects to Bankruptey La N. A. Ralnbolt, ex-president of the Norfolk Natlonal bank, read a paper dealing with the advisabliity of repeal- ing or modifying the bankruptey law. He detafled the history of bankruptcy logisjation from its inception, and took & stand generally in opposition to legis- lation of that character. y if we neea such a law at all, and what such a law is su to do. To become a bankrupt €asy without reference to & law on the aul It s not easy to avold be- bankrupt, law or mo law, as monetary revulsion has fully ught us.

The closing paper of the morning ses- slon was one by Becretary Royse of the state banking board on “The Ideal Banker and His Opposits” which was recetved with evidences of approval. It contained some interesting and valusbie statistics, At the afternoon session the officers were elected and papers were read by G. W. Wattles of Omaha, C. F. Bently of Grand Island and W. G. Hastings of Wilber. The meeting came to an end with a banquet at the Lindell hotel last night. E. Beajamin Andrews’ Address. E. Benjamin Andrews of the State uni- versity was the principal speaker and: sald in part: A large part of banks' power for good proceeds from their ciose assoclation Wwith each other, partly spontaneous, ing purpuses, and partly artific of the national banking law. 18 & power for good. anks, of course, desire to make money, that ls their business, and I strongly maintain that no mischief made possivle through the co- operation of the banks in this country can begin to offset the gooa which such union enabies, nay, forces them to accomplish. Banking insututions, as a class, are pub- lic instructors in honesty. Individual banki iake them ua they run, are homest issiitu’ tions, doing legitimate business. The pub- lic 1s more and more convinced of this, as Is proved by the fact .nat such concerns are increasingly employed as custodians of trust funds and as executors of trusts. The bank, as a rule, minds its own business and “saws wood."’ It discounts notes at market rates. It does not take up extre hasardous ventures. It is neither & huck. ster, & speculator, nor a gambier. It does not ‘cheal. Its representations can be de- pended on. Its contracts are not drawn o decelve, but are as clear and piain. a; language can make them. It meets its en: gagements, fulflls its promises, takes no unfair advantage. Of no other type of mercantle corporation, I think, is all this true in 80 great a degree, aithough, of course, It is true of many individual cor- porations, firms and men. The bank sets an example to all of the careful and thorough organization of work. Order, or organization In relation to time. 1s another element of banking system. What is to be done today or at any hour of today is Gone today and at that hour. Items of business falling Jomorrow are set down for tomor- and dispatched tomorro: ey B P 0o W, and so for Example of Exactnes No other financial establishments, quite equal banks in the eXactness of Liik accounting. In them every penny it is not enjugh that books and clearings nearly balance; they must exactly balance I incline to think that the banks have s better system of bookkeeping than mos other business. They are also to be com mended for the extraordinary uniformity of their bookkeéeping, a phase of business system which will, it is hoped, spread to all other mercantile enterprises and to the bookkeeping of municipalities and states. Thorougk bookkeeping is a lesson which the less well-to-do parts of the commuanity desperately need (o learn. It is paintully neglected by farmers. by small tradesmen, and by craftsmen ilke biacksmiths and carpenters, the neglect causing immense aggregate loss and no advantage whatever Vhen things are to be done at a certain hour they are done just at that hour, no earlier, no later. The bank is not Gpen until 10, but it is open at 10. It is not open after 3. but it s open until 3. At the New York clearing house if a clerk is two min- utes late his bank is fined on his account, and after a few such fallures he I8 “fired” on his uwn account. Punctuality ~the doing of things strictly on time—is another great m in all communitied. There is not & busy man in the state who does not, for lack of it by himself or others, lose in the course of & year whole days of precious time. We o t to be ashamed.

The ma- @hinery of your mill I8 not heard, but it is going all the same. 1 take it that this lesson of thrift in its triple phase—saving the “nickels,” rapid turning and working all the time—is one which almost all people greatly need to learn. ~ Men often speak of the wealth wasted by the rich. Waste by rich or by oor I8 a calamity, if not a crime. Doubt- less the poor waste a far greater proportion of thelr income than the rich waste of theirs. Most of it occurs through lack of thrift ne of us, poor or rich, have been taught suclently or taught with sufficient earnestness, how vital is the importance of saving, of making the most of resources, of patient, incessant industry. 1 have sought 'or many years to the best of my ability to inculcate this lesson upon all the young people who have come under my Instruc- tion, and I have found useful and helpful the ‘example of the bank as a ceaseless worker, making Its gains plecemeal, in in- finitesimal portions, but using them so in- dustriously as at last to heap up fortunes. 1 notice now a fourth way in which the bank i€ a teacher of the community where it is placed. The bank Is the chief expert adviser of its communit iching the community's IndustMal and financial situa- tion, in the exact appraisal of property and in telling how men stand in a business way Besought for loans in every direction, bank Is obliged to study business condi- tions. 1t has to make careful estimates of property values, of the changes con tinually taking place ther of “business methods and of business men. The bunk's conclusions In these several particulars and its methods of arriving at them have to be continually revised year ago is often good for nothing today. Bankers have to be up to date in thefr opin- fons of conditions and of men. Not infre- quently a business man's first hint as to the unsoundness of his methods is the cutting down of his discount line at his bank. In the nature of the case, no other business institution can equal the bank in this serv- fce of which I now speak, because no other can secure the necessary knowledge. SUGAR FACTORY ON FULL TIME Being Delivered at Standard of an Excellent Quality, anxlety of taken out of it where pr d only that Beets Works FREMONT, Neb, Oct. 14.—(Special)— The factory of the Standard Beet Sugar company at Leavitt began operations for the season October 5, and is now running to its full capucity. Since the last season the machinery has been thoroughly over- hauled and repaired and two new bolling plants installed. The carbonation presses are still able to turn out the syrup faster than it can be taken care of. At present only six of the elght presses are In use, four for the first carbonation and two for the second, and these are not being run today on account of there being too much syrup on hand. Each day from 2% to 20 tons of beets enter the shute and within twenty-four hours from the time they go through the slicing machines the stgar from them s ready for sacking at the other end of the bullding. , The quality of beets this year Is far above the average and of a uniform grade. They can be worked to a better advantage than a mixture of high and low grade beets whose average percentage ls the same. The factory has run for days at a time this season on. beets averaging 10 per cent sugar and very few beets have %0 far been delivered that went under 12 per cent. The coefficlent of purity Is also several points higher than last season, en- abling the factory to save a larger per cent of the sugar. The factory began the “campalgn” on North Platte beets raised on Irrigated land. They are about as fine beets as were ever made into sugar, of a uniform size and quality and running up to 16 per cent. They are arriving almost every day by the train load. Beets are also being shipped in from other western points along the iine of the Union Pacific, some of them coming from Grand Island. The factory at that place is not running. It's machinery and processes are sald by practical beet men to be obsolete and if ever run again almost everything except the walls, en- gines and bollers will have to be replaced with a new outfit. A few acres were raised at Valley and D. Hein ha% some good sized fields on the C. E. Mayne ranch. These were badly injured by the high water last summer and will not go over four or five tons to the acre. They are of good quality and will grade 12 to 15 per cent. The beet crop in Dodge county is small and the tonnage low, but as the percent- age of sugar is good the beet raisers will make some money. Last year over 1,000 acres were planted to beets. Every- thing looks favorable for the most suc- cessful season for the factory it has had since it started and it will turn out more sugar this year than before, all of it of a first class quality. The refuse which last year was fed by the Standard Cattle com- pany is now being hauled out on the land. The molasses, as before, is being stored in the large tank ecast of the bullding. NORTH LOUP, Neb., Oct. 14, Good rains the past week have been excel- lent for the fall wheat, of which a large acreage has been put in this fall in this vicinity. The crop this season was not as good as last for some reason, averaging about twenty bushels per acre. Young Girl is Insane, NORTH LOUP, Neb., Oct. 14.—(Special.)— Miss Martha Crandall, & young girl I 0ld, has been pronounced insane and taken to Lincoln for treatment. She has been in i1l heaith for nearly two years and this is probably the cause of her mind giving way.

JUSTICE TO ALL PARTIES DEMANDS IT Question of C & n Constitutional Convention is Not to Be Voted I's Elec- (From o %taff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 14.—(Special.)—The gents of the State university came a good share of adverse criticism morning because they are allowing J Crabtree, Inspector of high schools, ape pointed by them and pald by the state. to be a part owner in a teachers' employ- ment agency that charges graduates of the university fees for securing them po- sitions as teachers, and Mr. Crabtree has been severely censured because he, as an officer with the power to almost control the selection of teachers In many schools of the state, saw fit to enter Into any such concern as & partner. While Mr. Crabtree denled that he had re- in for this W men positions through his agnecy If they | would pay him s certain per cent of their | first year's salary, Mr. Towne, Mr. Crab- tree’s partner, has done so, and a per cant ot the profits resulting goes into the pock- | ets of the high school inspector. Mr. Crab- , tree admitted also to having recommer app::fants for places to his agency excused his action by saying he had also recommended them to other agencies and | had assisted parties to get positions who | belonged to no agency. It is the opinion | of a large number of people here who are, | Interested that the regents should see to | { it that thelr appointees should avoid even the suspicion of graft. Governor Mickey, and | | while not n:l_\hvn‘ whether ke thought Crabtree was using his position to work teachers hunting | places for money, said he thought that | all such cases should be thoroughly in- vestigated. “Anything that has the least suspicion of graft {n public office should not be tolerated am Instant, said “It charges that are at all substantial | are brought against any official he should be thoroughly investigated and if the charges are groundless then he should | be exonerated and iIf they are proven true the officer should be punizhed in some way and the wrong righted. Senator Sloan of Fillmore, of the state legislature, said: *“The charge | against the man is certainly enough to | warrant an lnvestigation, and If they are | proven true, it should be stopped.” Sev- | eral others who have read Mr. Smith's let- | ter and Mr. Crabtree's denial desire ths regents to take some action toward an Investigation. For seyeral years Mr. Crabtree, though comparatively a young man, has been well known to the educators of the state. It is generally belleved, but the bellet cannot be confirmed, that he is slated to be the next superintendent of the Peru Normal school just as soon as Tom Majors is able to get Superintendent Clark out of the way. Unless Mr. Crabtree can get further proof to counteract the state- ment of Mr. Smith, this exposure may cut some figure in the selection of the next | principal, No Constitutional Convention. Considerable unnecessary worry and talk has been indulged in lately as to whether the call for a constitutional convention au- thorized by the late legislature in a joint resolution and vetoed by the governor, | would be inciuded oh the official ballot. In an opimion filed last yéar by Attorney Gen- eral Prout the signature of the governor or his veto to a proposed constitutional amend- ment cuts no figure. Therefore, if the secretary of state holds the opinlon final the call will be included on the ballot But it will not be included this time. Not il the next legislative election will the question be voted upon, so the preliminary talk as to what will happen and what will not happen is immaterial now. Even then the constitutional convention 18 not a sure thing, because after it is voted upon the legislature wil! canvass the vote; then if it has carried will come the call for the con- vention. Of course the convention's” work will have to be ratified by the voters before the constitution will be changed. a member | Stasts Insurance Crusade. Deputy Auditor Plerce of the Insurance department intends to begin a crusade of the unauthorized fire Insurance companies doing business in the state. This will be | done In conjunction with the insurance de- | partments of several states which have |agreed to run all wnauthorized companies out of business. To that end Mr. Plerce is very desirous that circulars : received by agents and others from unauthorized com- panies be sent to him, that he may warn those acting as agents for the companies of the penalty for so doing and also warn the public that such companies are wholly irresponsible and that it is impossible under the Nebraska laws for paolicy holders to re- cover from them. Alarm Gongs on Treasury. The American Bank Protection company will In & few days have completed the in- stallation of the new burglar alarm at the state treasury. It is attached to gongs ga- lore and every Ume anyone moves after working hours in the neighborhood of the vault there will be rings for everybody within hearing distance of the state house. It the door of the vault is left open after closing hours the gong will go on a ram- page, or If anything even gets suspicious in the secretary’s office the gong will tell it In the meantime this is all very gratify- ing to Deputy Babcock, because last Au- gust a suspicious looking man looked through the window at him during the noon hour and told the deputy that he wanted to clean the locks on the safe for him. Mr Babeock told the man he didn't want them cleaned and after looking at each other a few minutes the man left and the deputy fondled his six-shooter. This leaked out today as an attempt to rob the treasury and three men were seen near the windows of the office the night before sitting on the gTass in earnest conversation.
