There should be a reserve supply of credit

of Interest rates, which would repress ex
pansion and bring about a contraction of
credits and of notes within a reasonable

; I would adopt the general plan of the
freat foreign banks, but 1 would not have
he central bank In this country In a gen
eral banking business. I would make It
an Institution to da business with and for
the other banks. If you have any prejudice
against the word, suppose We do nut call
it a bank but a central slgency' for the
existing banks, through which they are to
perform certain functions which will be
serviceable to them and to the community.
It should take over all government moneys,
Just as the foreign banks do. Thai would
end the whole vexed problem, of the gov
ernment deposits. Every bank In the coun-.
try, by reuson of Its stock In the Central
organization, would have Its proportionate
beni'ltt from the government deposits. Tne
(ulitral organisation should have the priv
ilege of note Issue up to, say 1100,000,009, and
more under a tax provision. It should
make, loans only to Its stockholders on
fcood, live bills receivable as collateral, or
by -rediscounts of paper which tney en
dorse. I do not believe it Would be safer
tj keep that door absolutely closed and
confine the operations of the bank to the
strictly commercial field, handling paper
which Is based on staple commodities on
their way to market. There would bo no
danger then that Its resources would tie
tied up Indefinitely. In unavailable assets.
Its paper would be constantly changing,
and the bank would always -De in shape to
iielp keep business moving. ;
It ought to have sreight with us that
Very -country of - Europe has solved the
problem to. satisfaction and ajl' have come
Io the same system. Nowhere Is there any
Ik Of change. The central bank, under
Joint, private and public control, gives them
an elastic currency and manages the op'
tret Ions of the public treasury so that Its
receipts and disbursements are never a
disturbing factor.

! Isn't It strange fhat a people who are

too timid to -make any departure. It takes
courage to be progressive. It takes some
courage Jo , deal with all the problems
whk the evolution of society Is forever
presenting. But we cannot rfln away from
these questions. Conservative men may

of the community that I often Igndred,"
said Mr. Sloan. "The popular conception
la the banker assumes an attitude of ex
clustvenesa and exaggerated dignity, which
conception I all wrong. At the best Ills
position Is a delicate one. He should not
engage In a too strenuous political . life,
neither should he neglect participation In
those great Issues which Involve the pub
lic welfare. He should be partisan, but not
too partisan, and he should be fearless In
discussing the fundamental principles . of
good government. The. sloth should not
draw tribute from Industry. The business
of a bank and the community should fra
ternise. Bankers, should fight shy ot in
vestment in poker, of grain raised on the
streets of Chicago and stock In Wall street,
and of mining stocks In wildcat mines of
the west. Such investments as these are
an assurance of bankruptcy rather than !
of good banking. Nebraska, by Ha con
servative banking methods and the integ
rity of its bankers. Is rapidly becoming
lender rather than a borrower from tha
east." . . .
J. U. Lows on Saretr Aaada. '
J. O. -Lowe, president of the Farmer'
bank of Kearney, read a paper on the sub
ject of "Surety Bonds." He held that the
surety bond had It advantages and dis
advantages and related Instanoes of both
propositions, but on the whole believed
the surety bond was a -good thing. He was
heartily In favor of the recommendation
of the executive council of thia association
for tha adoption of the home Insurance,
bond and burglary protection propositions
and thought that tha. banker of Nebraska
could do no. be, t tor thing than to.dopt the
proposition which would , be .an,, his u.roco
owned And controlled exclusively by the
bank of the state of, Nebraska. .
Tha membership committee reported the
present membership as 720, as against 8S0
a year ago. The auditing committee sub
mitted it report approving the reports of
the several officers. Both reports were ap
proved and ordered placed on file.

Dr. P. t Hall of Lincoln, thanked the as

him during the year and' introduced the
new president, J. P. A. Black of Hasting,
who thanked the association forthe hones;

SIDELIGHTS OX THE CO VEJtTlOW
V. Franklin of MeCook, One of Pio
neer Bankers, Is Here.
V. franklin, president of the Cltlsens'
bank of McCook. Is one. of the oldest
bankers In the rtate. He has also the
widest acquaintance among members of
the banking- fraternity. Everybody knows
him. Mr. Franklin prepared for the hai
ardous life of a banker by serving through
the Civil war In the tlfth army corp1.
"When t first moved to Indianola, shortly
after the war, the west was really 'wild
ard woolly,' he sold. "I saw herds of
buffalo passing over the. place where Mc
CYmk now stands. When McCook was laid
out I hurried right ovef there with what
little money I had and established my
bank, getting In on the ground floor.
"We have the most wonderful country
out there. ' Some years we 'skip a crop,
but I guess nature thinks we don't need
such bumper crops as she gives us every
year. When we do feet one U's enough to
last two years. I know one man out .there
who 'had three quarter sections of land
but it was'all mortgaged' for every cent tt
was worth. One day he walked into my
bank. 'Can I borrow money to buy four
wagons, four teams and four double sets
of harness?' he asked. 'Why,' I said, 'What
in the world dp you want with thorn? You
are In. debt up to your neck already.' fie
replied, 'I have about 14,000 bushels ol
wheat out there on .my 'place' which I
want to haul to market. I can't do It
unless I can get tho money.' He got it
alright. That's the way It la with us. A
man may strike a gold mine of 'a crop
almost any time."
Othneal C. Homo! facetiously called by
his friends "Oatmeal," cashier pf the Bank
of Syracuse, is a delegate to the conven
tion. Mr. Home was formerly a pews
paper man and is a close observer.
"It Is a striking phenomenon," he ob
served as he sat In the lobby of the Roma
hots and looked around at the assembled
bankers. For a while he was lost In deep
thought. Then he continued:
"I have estimated that there la less hir
sute adornment found upon the faces of
bankers than on those of any other class
of men. Cast your eye around upon these
gentlemen. Possibly a hundred are here,
yet you won't find one complete, unbroken
set of the old-time populist whlskerSj Even
the elder men are clean shaveji or wear
only a mustache, and the mustaches are
only of the short, choppy, seml-Roosevelt-lan
type. You can't And one of those long,
thick base-ball mustaches. As for Dun
drearies, Chanceymdepe.ws or , Governor
hughes whlskeVs, there are none, absolutely
none, Why la this thus?" .;.
Borne one suggested, that, the bankers are
so gopd, IcKjkJng .tjiat i&ey. 8eek,lo,let tU.qJ
faces "shine Instead of covering them up
with whiskers.
"Maybe so maybe so," murmured .Mr.
Home. .
"We are laying oul some model towns up
on the new Union . Pacific line between
Stromsburg and Central City,' said J.; W.
Wilson, president of . the First National
bank of Stromsburg and of the town site
company. "The town of Polk Is only a
little over a year old. but It la growing,
has two banks and a .number, of brick
buildings' are being, erected. We . had the
water works system n working order be
fore we began selling lots.' The town Is
laid out on broad lines. . Acrgsa the tracks
from the station is a little ,park. From
this opens the main .street, running, per
pendicular to the tracks. This is 140 feet
wide with a little parked space . running
along the middle. The, street Is about two
blocks long and at Its., further ,end Is an
other park. . This tfivea a very inviting ap
pearance to the town. What we need In
Nebraska Is a llttua more of the aesthetlo
thrown into our towns. They are as a rule
too bare."
Two of the women bankers of Nebraska
are among the delegates. They are Mrs.
R. 3. Kelley, cashier of the Citizens' State
bank ot Gothenburg, and-Mrs. Carson HU
dreth of the Franklin City bank. A con
siderable number of women hold positions
of responsibility la the banking institutions
of the state, but. as one of them remarked,
they are too busy too attend the conven
tion. Emerson Chansler, assistant cashier of
the Merchants' National bank of New
York. Is among the representatives of
eastern banks who are getting personally
aoqualnted with the Nebraska men.
"Our bank is one ot the few not owned
or controlled by a Rockefeller or a Van
derbllt or a Hetty Green,'.'' he said. We
have 280 stockholders. The stock Is so
valuable that It la not for sale. The bank
Is 104 years old. "Yes, we deal chiefly In
big figures. A man came In one day Vth
I15.C00 to deposit. He felt pretty Important,
and he' was by nature a gentleman of
some pompousness. When the cashier
shoved l.U money back and politely re
ferred him to an institatlon 'that accepts
small deposits' he was considerably
ruffled."
AMBHICAS COINS LACK BEAUTY
To Mack oa the Silver, Says Otsri
E. Kahwrta.
"There can be no doubt that our coins,
and especially our sliver coins, are Inferior
to those of other countries In point ' of
beauty of artistic 'design and finish," said
George K. Roberts, for nine years director
of the United Slates mint, and now presi
dent of the' Commercial bank of Chicago.
He was the principal speaker at the con
vention of the Nebraska bankers. "Presi
dent Roosevelt began' the movement to
have the designs changed. But when we
looked Into the matter we found we could
not change the designs on silver coins
because the law provides these cannot be
altered more than once In twenty-dve
years without a special act of congress.
But there was no such provision in regard
to gold coin. The design submitted' by Mr.
Saint Gaudens pleased the president and
was adepted. It will be so changed that
the embossed figures will not extend out
farther than the rim of the coins and Inter
fere with piling them.
"The trouble with our sliver coins Is
they are too 'crowded.' There Is too much
on them. Probably action will be taken to
alter these as soon as It can be done
legally. The new gold colna win be Issued
within sis months."
Mr. Roberts has not been In Omaha since
1901. He expressed astonishment St the
city's development.
"The great wholesale and retail business
houses which have aprung up In the city
since I was here only six years ago Indi
cate a great advanoe. Omaha ! tn a sense
the barometer showing the growth of Ne
braska, and In the' growth of Omaha I
See reflected the progress of this wonderful
state." 1 -'
WHY HE MISSED 0R BANQUET
Former ftnrtarr Tetta tittle Story to
Pew Treated Friends.
A few of the bankers wno are attending
the state convention ( have been let In on
a story In which "a former secretary of the
organisation whose name la not mentioned,
IS the hero. The 'tale la 'a year old, but
It holds Its flavor' nevertheless. This ex
secretary Is known far and wide for bis
enthusiasm. He .always'' attends the ban
quet and has done so so long the mind of
man. runneth not te the contrary. But last
year he missed. Confidentially he told some
of 'his friends why.
"I am veiy devoted," he said, "to a cer
tain kind of mineral water and I' always
keep a plentiful supply on my pantry shelf.
When I do not feel well I go In and take
a swig of If. The day 'of the banquet I
thought my system, needed toning up, so
I wenUn and took down a bottle and gulped
a big swallow of the liquid. I Immediately
felt a sensation like a red hot Iron had
been thrust down my throat. My head
swam and' I .had tp tall for help. I had
partially recovered, I saw I had picked up
a bottle of turpentine my. wife had placed
on the shelf. 1 took to my bed, sent for a
doctor who pumped wie eut.'but H was a
week befpre I could, move around much. I
consider that a pretty . good excuse for
missing the only- bankers' banquet I have
not attended for years." '

TOKIO. Sept. 19. The possibility that
Japan may have to annex Corea seems
again to have arisen. Marquis Ho Is
quoted os having said that It may be neces
sary to alter Japanese policy owing to the
present situation, snd thst If the Corean
people persist In their attitude of unfriend
liness. It will be the "last day for them."
Toklo papers sre receiving reports that
Insurgents, Including one band of 800, are
gathering around Seoul to attack It. Rov
ing parties of Coreans under the leader
ship of ex-soldlers are killing Japanese
officials and civilians and Coreans sus
pected of being pro-Japanese. These parties
flee to the mountains upon the approach of
Japanese troops, but not before suffering
heavily.
A new official organisation of the staff
of the resident general for Corea was sub
mitted to the privy council today and
passed. It u believed It will be promul
gated Saturday. According to the organi
sation the office of deputy resident general
hns been established, and It Is understood
that Baron Bone, the late minister of fin
ance tn the Katsura cabinet, will be ap
pointed to the post. Another feature ot
the organisation Is the permission granted
the Japanese vice minister of the Corean
government and others serving as Corean
officials to regain their official standing In
the Japanese government. Marquis lto,
the resident general of Corea, will leave
for Seoul Beptember 23, and It Is expected
that upon his arrival there the new system
of reform will then be vigorously pushed,
especially In the matter of the Judiciary.

The Iowa Railroad commission will not
spend a great deal of the 16,000 appro
priated by the last legislature for expert
Investigations Into the question of freight
rates to ascertain and discover any dis
criminations against the state of Iowa
If there are such. The commission takes
the position that the commissions if
Illinois and Wisconsin having gone all
over that - ground In an exhaustive tn
ejulrr and their published reports being
available. It Is not necessary for Iowa
tp go so deeply Into the problem. Tho
reports of Wisconsin end .'Illnols had
not been made when the Iowa legislature
rnadd' the appropriation of $5,000 and It
was not known whether or not they would
be of value to Iowa. The Illinois report
is an exhaustive document, the commis
sion of that state having taken two years
to make the investigation.
The Iowa commission Is using some of
the $5,000 for the purpoes 'of hiring extra
clerks and some to pay the expenses of
members of the .commission in attending
ireetlngs and where it is necessary for
them to visit other places to obtain In
