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. Randall , Nowmnn Grove ; vice-
president , H. A. Cheney , Crolghton ;

teem for his executive ability , we wish

clation express Its appreciation of thej
services rendered the banking Interests - ,
ests In the legislature by Senator Ran

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 -

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

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.
