The report shows that in the year ended with the bank call of November 10, deposits in the institu- tions of the federal reserve system, which are all national banks, gained $2,081,000,000—a little more than 33 1-3 per cent. During the same period the loans and discoun ts increased by $917,000,000, in deposits was $1,164,000,000 more than the increase shown in loans, The earnings of the banks did not increase with the deposits, for not only was a smaller percentage of deposits kept out in loans, but the prevailing rates of interest were much below the average rate in recent year Yet the increases in capital, surplus and undivided profits of the banks for the year was in excess of $17,000,000.

H° HENRY’S widely heralded civic patriotism would come in better taste if his efforts to pledge up voters to register and vote were not accompanied by an apparently partisan campaign to promote at the same time the candidacies of certain men. It seems that the solicitors who are so inte nsely imbued with patriotism that they are circularizing the city with Mr. Henry's ation pledges” are also peddling advice to the prospective voters as to which candidates to vote for Such conduct on the part of these “patriots” might even give rise to suspicion that the effort to bring out a large registration is being scientifically confined to only those who would be apt to vote in the way these “pledge” circulators would like them to vote. Where Will It Be At? N HIS Philad lelphia speech, Roosevelt roasts the anyhow—and we > begin to wonder where the German-American vote, can spell- -binders, is going to be at in the coming presidential campaign The German-American vote is said to be mad at Woodrow Wilson because of his anti-submarine licy. Mr. Bryan is loaded to the muzzle with prohibition of the German’s favorite beverage, beer. And here’s Teddy lambasting Germany from Belgium to Bagdad every time he opens his mouth, which is frequent. ci “registr e Germans to the queen's taste—to King George's taste, so long worshipped by Ameri- Quieting a Cyclone — F ALL the heartless, ungrateful wretches we panhandle country who take the cake. sii d “Cyclone” Davis, congressman from Texas, wir ed, it is said, a gathering of them as follow $: If I can render you or your good citizens any service, do not hesitate to Aaron me. They answered: “Bully! Resign.” HOW’S THIS. ONE? W’S this for a vagary of the law? In Texas the county judge appoints a lawyer to defend a defendant on trial for lunacy. If the defendant is adjudged insane, the attor- ney gets a five dollar fee from the state. If the defendant is acquitted, the lawyer gets nothing. Better change the law the other way round and maybe relieve the congestion. ever SOUNDS THAT WAY FAN AUSTRIAN newspaper ingeniously remarks: ‘ “If the entente allies intend to remain in Salonika, Greece is relieved of all obligations to de- fend her soil against the advance of the central powers. If Greece is too weak to defend herself she will find a true friend in the Germanic league.” Which reminds us of the man who prayed, “Oh Lord, deliver us from our friends, that we may look out for our enemies ourselves!” EX-PRESIDENTS of Mexico are dying at the rate of two a week. Some of them die of liver, like Huerta, and some of Carranza, like Guiterre?.
