PloaBod with Norfolk's hospitality mil Impressed with the central loca- Ion of the city the Northeast Nebraska Jankers association voted to return o Norfolk next year. When the bank- era adjourned shortly after G o'clock londay evening , the business session living way preparatory for the ban quet of the evening , the Hcntlmont waa jenorally expressed that the convon- Ion had been ono of the most success- 'nl In the ten years of the association's Ife. Northeast Nebraska bankers to the number of 1C1 had registered with ho socretnry Monday nftornoon. Tlio cnpnclty of the Elk ledge room was inoro than taxed , the nttcndnnco nt he morning nnd afternoon sessions setting a now record according to men losely Identified with the association. On the lloor of the convention this at tendance was credited to Norfolk's central location In northeast Nebraska. In view of the past custom of the bankers In shifting their conventions from ono town to another , Norfolk ; lld not ask for next year's gathering , lint the city was declared for as the Ideal convention city for northeast Nebraska. A declaration against the asset cur rency proposition was Inserted In the resolutions adopted Monday afternoon. The northeast Nebraska bankers de clared In favor of the organization by Nebraska bankers of n mutual bond company for the purpose of writing depository bonds nnd burglnry In surance. The nftornoon session witnessed n clnsh between Senntor C. A. Randall nnd Sccrctnry W. B. Hughes of the stnto bankers association. Senntor Rnndnll on the floor of the convention charged the stnto secretnry with "but ting Into" the leglslntlvo mills nt Lin coln nnd hinted that the secretary's course wns not In the Interests of the smnll bankers of the state. Senator Rnndnll chnrgcd Hughes with being responsible for Governor Sheldon's veto of the Rnndnll bill governing guaranty bonds given by depository banks for county funds. The conveiv tlon declined to express "regret" at the governor's veto and later attempt ed to smooth matters over by passing resolutions comnllmentnry to botli Secretnry Hughes nnd Senntor Ran- hill. Senator Randall was nlso hon ored by election to the presidency of he association. The first speaker to be Introduced on the afternoon program wns Hon. 3. F. McGrow of Omaha , vlce-presl- lent of the Omaha National bank nnd n mnn whose populnrlty Is deep rooted with the bnnkers of the state. Mr. McGrew snltl In part : "Tho course of nations and of peoples ples move with great rapidity in these ater years. In the nnnnls of our his tory long periods of time Intervened between the discovery of this western continent and the first settlement on our shores , between the landing of the Pilgrim fathers nnd the wnr for the revolution , between thnt war for in dividual rights and liberty nnd the great struggle to wipe slavery from the United States. But only forty years from that war the greatest Inland empire the world has over known has been built. Westward they came , those pioneers representing the best blood of old and new worlds , a race without a name save that it was called American. These mon and their sons , born with the red blood of the west , ask but for the strenuous , the ener getic , the business life of the west. "It la easy to trace the history of the now west. It was our fathers and ourselves who butldcd this country. From the ward down to the present It was less than two generations In the making Those who left the east bid reluctant farewells to old homes and looked forward to a separation that would be permanent. But the } came the active ones of the east and they built the country up. This grand new west is a monument to the ability , sincerity and honesty of alma of those men who came west to pro vide homes for themselves nnd for their children. And they found ere their work was done thnt distance had been obliterated and that west am east was close together. "They found n whole country mndo trlbutory to this western granary. They yes , you and I , came to dig our sub- alstance from the soil. In expectatloi ot the bountlous harvest , money wa spent , perhaps not always wisely , In developing the state. You bankers know that no longer than fourteen years ago Nebraska was a debto state. But you bankers also know that in the later years of this new west , the west is the creditor of th east. Wo are loaning money to th old fashioned money sharks down caa j who used to "rob" IIB. From owing , Nebraska bankers are now owed. "The center ot wealth has followed .ho center of ixipulntlon west , but the center of the distribution of wealth remains In Now York. What condi tions may result Is n problem for some Hhrewd flnnnclcr. Of necessity n strain on the currency results that In felt every twelve months. Then there comes the cry for money In the east .hoy call it their money but In reality t Is our money our balances ordered nick homo to meet the demands of the low crops. Then they who llrst rulsed the cry against frco silver call for cheap money , call for an asset cur rency , Let n cheap currency never fall on this grand now west May .ho time not come when our custo mers will have to scrutinize the money wo pass out to them. " II. J. Llndorlnk , cashier of the First National bank of Emerson , wont into the Intricate details of n technical Imnk subject , speaking on "Escrows : The Banker's Duty and Responsibi lity. " Mr. Llndorlnk discussed the legal and moral phases of holding deeds nnd other papers In trust pend ing the fulfillment of certain agreed conditions. Ills paper was closely followed and was declared by prom inent bankers to bo well prepared and carefully thought out. Speaking In n lighter vein , Clement Chase of Omaha , the editor of the new "Western Banker , " held the In terest of the convention In an nddress on "Tho Average Man. " Incldently Mr. Chase paid n tribute to the average - ago bunker who wns neither so old fashioned as to neglect modern bankIng - Ing methods or so "progressive" as to take advantages over his' community. Mr. Chase also advised a combination ot the "glad hand" and the "marble heart" for bankers. Ills tribute to President Roosevelt ns the "cleanser of America" was greeted with ap plause. W. S. Weston , cashier of the Far mers State bank at Hartlngton , read the final paper of the afternoon , a practical discussion of present prob lems under the topic , "Safe-guarding Our Interests. " Mr. Weston first pre sented a few axioms , declaring among other things that no bank was better than Us discounts and notes receiv able , that some bankers wore more apt to land in the penitentiary than In heaven , that no note was worth more than the money It represented and that It costs no more to pay secured noUs ; than It does unsecured notes. Mr. Weston offered the following prac tical suggestions : That each bank should have a com mittee to pass on nil lonns mndo by the bank. This would support the cashier and lessen the danger from poor securities. That "Groupe 3" should adopt a rule thnt nil members of the association should undergo a through examination once a year by n competent and dis interested nccotuntant. That the association should establish a community of Interests and create a fund for the special protection of the depositors In the banks of the district. This fund could be profitably Invested and would offer additional and effective protection to depositors , The standing of the banks In the district was shown , Mr. Weston said , by the following figures for the 132 banks in the district : Total deposits , $10,812,270 ; capital and surplus , $ . - 172,276 ; cash and due from other banks , $4,200.509. "Our Interests , " Mr. Weston said In closing his very ef fective paper , Included equally the In terest of customer and banker. Randall and Hughes Clash. No sooner had the lloor of the con- entlon been thrown open to mlscel- aneous discussion thnn Secretnry Iiighes of the stnte bnnkers nssocln- lon nnd Senntor Rnndnll , soon to be hosen president of the northeastern association , plunged into a controver- > concerning the part played by the tate secretary In recent leglslntlon nt he stnte cnpltal. The Clarke and Randall bills , both governing deposl- ory bonds furnished for county de- ) ostts , passed the legislature and were iresented to Governor Sheldon , Hold- ng that the two bills covered the same matter , the Clarke bill was signed and ho Randall bill vetoed by the gov ernor. The Madison county senator charged Hughes with "butting Into" affairs of state and running counter to the wishes of the legislative commit tee. The Randall bill , the senator said , was the real measure drawn up n the Interests of the small banks and its death was to bo ascribed to the hostile activity of Secretary HUKhes. Secretary Hughes reviewed his pos Jon In detail to the convention. Ii the running debate that followed the convention was carried Into an Intrl. cato discussion of banking conditions Involved , the secretary and the senator agreeing apparently neither ns to the facts nor the theory at Issui. "At Lincoln I helped kill every bill that was detrimental to the banking Inter ests of the state , " said Senator Ran dall , "I did everything possible to pro tect the Interests of the organization and to protect the privacy of our busi ness. It was said that the lawyers and doctors In the legislature sometimes divided , but the bankers stood solid for their Interests. " The senator , however - over , specifically excepted the state secretary from the harmony that other wise flourished in Lincoln. C. A. Smith of Tllden moved that "tho action of Senator Randall In In troducing and procuring the passage of senate files 275 and 281 bo approved by this convention and that wo regret the action taken by our governor In vetoing senate file 281. " The motion was voted down. The following nominations reported by the special committee were ap proved by the convention ns the olll-1 cers for the coming yenr : President , A.

" Compliment Randall and Hughes. "Be It resolved , By the members of group three of the bankers of Nebras ka , that we hereby express our appre ciation of the efforts of the worthy sec retary of the state association , Mr. William B. Hughes. In advancing and safeguarding our Interests In every way to the best of his knowledge and ability , and that , expressing our es teem for his executive ability , we wish to assure him of the confidence we re pose In him and of our active and mor al support In his fight for mutual Inter ests. " It wns further voted thnt the nsso- clation express Its appreciation of thej services rendered the banking Interests - , ests In the legislature by Senator Ran dall. Norfolk Again Next Year. The proposition to name Norfolk as a permanent meeting place was first brought before the convention by Sen ator Randall. Some hesitancy was dis played In placing the burden of an an nual convention on the Norfolk bank ers On the other hand Norfolk's lo cation as the natural center of the dis trict was strongly urged against the old practice of passing the meetings around to the several cities in the dis trict. After coming up for discussion nt intervals during the afternoon It was voted that next year's convention should meet at Norfolk , the question of a permanent location for the annual meetings to be left over to 1908. Adjournment was taken a little af ter C p. m. , the banquet In the evening closing the tenth annual session of the Northeast Nebraska Bankers' as sociation. SUCCESSFUL EVENT CLOSES ANNUAL - NUAL SESSION. TOASTS WERE MIGHTY SPICEY Plates For 170 Guests Were Prepared and the Affair , In Each Detail , Was an Unqualified Success Mr. Toy Presents Ladles With Check. Visiting bankers of the Northeastern Nebraska Bankers' association brought to a close their tenth annual conven tion around a sumptuous and most de lightful banquet board at Marquardt hall last night Acting as hosts to en tertaln the banker guests , Norfolk's three national banks and the Durland Trust company brought much enthusl astlc comment upon tholr own heads and the city In general. The visitors declared that no banquet could have been a more complete success In every detail and guests from Omaha and Sioux City declare dthnt It was the Kemp's Balsam Will stop any couoth that can be slopped by any medicine and cure counts that cannot lie cured by any other medicine. It Is always the best couuh cure. Yon cannot allord to take chances on any other kind. KEMP'S BALSAM cures coughs , colds , bronchitis , 0rlp , asthma and consump tion In first stages. It docs not contain alco hol , opium , morphine , or any other narcotic , poison ous or harmful drug. most delightful banquet that they had over Indulged In , without exception. The banquet tables were arranged for 170 gncstn. The long white tnbles , beautifully dccornted , were nrrnnged In nn "H" shape , thus affording nil nn excellent opportunity to hcnr the toasts. * Mualc from behind n pretty ombnnkment gave nn effective tone to the event TLe banquet was served by members of the Ladles Guild of Trinity church , who made of the feast and banquet hall a "thing of beauty and Joy for- over. " Attired all In white , the wait ers moved about Uie tables in mili tary fashion. At a specified Umo dur ing tlio evening lights suddenly went out and the hall became dark. An in stant Inter the Illumination returned to cast Its glow upon a pair of colored X. gentlemen who had suddenly appeared , . as If by magic , In an especially pre pared and especially decorated spot from which point of vantage JJioy lib erated melody that mingled prettily with the banquet atmosphere. D. Mnthewson of Norfolk , ono of the cleverest toastmastcrs In all the world , presided over the How of wit and wis dom with a master's art. His stories were apt , pat and , best of all , new to the core. "Tho Banker as Seen by the Custom er , " was the topic which afforded B. A. Bullock opportunity to make an ex- eremely hnppy response In which he poked an elbow good naturedly Into the sides of the banker and then smoothed things all over in a decided ly effective manner. W. T. Graham , responding to tue subject , "After Hours , " gave a * splen didly well rounded toast touching the danger of overwork and overworry for the business man and banker of today. He declared thnt bnnkers take out a half hour three times n day for eating : , and then He down at night to worry nnd dream. He made an effective ap peal to the financiers to lock up busi ness worries in the vault at night and live for other things beside purely commercialism. It was an eloquent address , splendidly put , and It appeared to make a deep Impression upon the listeners. "Dreams" was the broad subject that had been assigned to that veteran of the banquet toast , Ed T. Kearney. Mr. Kearney took advantage of the latitude offered by his topic and dealt ready repartee right and left to the delight of the banqueting assembly. Mr. Kear- ney took occasion to embarrass a- nephew who was present by calling attention to the fact that the young man had just joined the ranks of the benedicts. George N. Seymour , as the closing speaker of the evening , demonstrated that he had been fitly chosen for the honor. "Our Heritage" was his sub ject and he told a story to the gathered bankmen which left a lasting impres sion. He went back to the early days when he had come to this country. He told how It had grown up from a I rugged plain to a land of wealth and culture and luxury. Mr. Seymour's j toast , as were they all , was highly ap preciated. That the banquet was a tremendous success and that it appealed to the visitors most favorably was shown by the fact that after It was over James F. Toy of Sioux City , president of the Citizens National bank of Norfolk , pre sented to the Ladles guild which i ao nicely served the feast , a check for $25. During the evening dainty half pound boxes of the choice chocolates manufactured here In Norfolk by the Faucett-Carney Candy company were distributed among the guests with the compliments of the candy company. This Is the latest manufacturing estab lishment to locate In Norfolk and the fact that the firm now Is rushed In every ery department of Its four-story plant , with four commercial travelers on Uie road , shows that the sweets distribut ed to the bankers are eminently a treat.
