DUTY TO PREVENT LITIGATION Political Considerations Should Not Outweigh Judicial Fitness In Selec tion of Judges Reports of Special Committees Considered. Seattle , Wash. , Aug. 28. The mem bers of the American Bar association continued their consideration of com mittee reports and heard the report of the special committee on the class ification of laws , on Indian legisla tion , on penal laws and prison dls- cipline , federal courts , title of real estate.code of protesslonal ethics , copy right bill and proposed lawyers' home In presenting its code of ethics for the lawyers of the American bar. the committee told the convention in clear and' forceful language that it is the duty of the lawyer to prevent litiga tion , to make peace between those in clined to litigation and to diligently discourage among the laity the prev alent growth of disrespect for the courts. At the same time , the report continues , where there Is proper ground for serious complaint of a ju dicial olllcer it is incumbent upon the lawyer to submit his grievances to the proper authorities. Under the new code It Is made the duty of lawyers to prevent political considerations outweighing Judicial fitness in the selection of judges and aspirants for Judicial honor arc di rected to be governed by an Impartial estimate of their ability. The prac tice of arguing privately with a judge as to the merits of pending cases Is made a cause for judicial rebuke.

WILL TRY TO CARRY CLOSE CON GRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. New York , Alia , 28. Some of the plans the Republican politicians In the south are making to Incfeaso t Republican representation in congress fiom their states wore made Juiown to Chairman Hitchcock by visitors from Virginia , Alabama and Louisiana. The plan for "the invasion of the south" was outlined by Mr. Taft , the Repub lican candidate for president , in re cent speeches and Interviews in Hot Springs , Va. Ho expressed the opin ion that the Republican national cam paign managers ought to try to carry close districts , and Mr. Hitchcock concurs In that view. Secretary Straus of the department of commerce and labor hnd a long talk with Mr. Hitchcock. Ho Is sched uled to deliver two or three speeches later in the campaign , ono of them in Now York city.

TALKS ON GUARANTEED BANKS Principal Discourse of Democratic Presidential Candidate Concern * Security of Deposits Adds Some Remarks to His Preparud Speech. Teipelui , Kan. , Aug 2S Before an HU'llone-o which tilled the Auditorium to ovorllowing . J. Bryan , Demo- i-in 111- candidate lor president , upoku on the subject of guaranty of bank deposits. Previously , bo had deliv ered three other addresses , two from the veranda of the hotel and the third ut Gnrlleld park , where he attended u picnic of the Knights of Pythias , hlu luttor tliemo being "Fraternity. " Mr. Bryan , In view ol the action of the Kansas Republican state conven tion , which Indorsed the guaranty proposition , made some lomarks sup plementary to his prepared speech on that subject. He took up the ad vantages of the guaranty system ami then answered the objections made to it by Mr. Taft and'others. . Ho began by asking why the depositor should be loft unsecured when the national government demanded security of any bank with which It deposited money. He pointed out that the cholco wna between the postal savings bank nnd the guaranty hank , and accused Mr. Taft of favoring an unnecessary ex tension of the sphere of government In advocating the postal savings bank Instead of the guaranty bank. Mr. Bryan declared that he preferred the guaranty bank proposition , which would allow the banks to attend to the banking business nnd yet compel them to give their depositors neces sary security. Upon the conclusion of his prepared speech , Mr. Bryan said : Kansas Bankers Favor Guaranty. "I asked Mr. Breldenthal , a bunker of Kansas City , to make Inquiry among the bankers of Kansas and as certain what proportion of thorn fa vored the guaranty law. I learned that of the bunkers that hnd ex pressed themselves on this subject , about three-lourths of them favored a guaranty law and ono-fourth opposed It. This is an excellent showing. Among the depositor , there Is no op position at all and it Is evident that the Kansas bankers recognize , first , that something must bo done , and second end , that the guaranteed bank Is bet ter than the postal savings bank. I also Inquired of Governor Ilaskoll In regard' to the number of national banks who have surrendered their charters and became stulo banks in order to have the benefits of the guar anty system. I have a telegram from him saying that four national banks have already made the change and are operating under the state banking laws , and that sixteen other national banks have applied for state charters. This is conclusive proof that the Okla homa law Is a success A national charter Is supposed to have some ad vantages over a state charter , nnd the benefits of the guaranty law must bo admitted , , when twenty national banks will In a short tltuo change from tha national svsjtcm _ to the stafe system in order. tO give their depositors the adVantages - Vantages furnished by the guaranty. Sees No Hope In Republicans. -r , "Since the preparation of , ny speech on this stihjec-l the Republicans of Kansas have lield a convention and adopted a state platform. The plank on the guaranty of banks Is a recogni tion of the necessity for security , but the plank Is so worded as fo be prac tically useless so far as the protec tion of the people Is concerned. The Republicans propose to enable the state banks to mutually and volun tarily guarantee deposits. But that is not enough. Suppose that the banks mutually agreed not to do It. Must the depositor be left unsecuro ? "Tho Kansas Republican platform aTh'vf j qlieBls the ? Republican ca.nill- dntos fdr congress and United B'tfiW senate to favor "it Jaw In aiding a na tional bank to participate in the pfo- posed mutual and voluntary system. But what chance Is there of securing such a law when the Republican na tional convention refuses to pay any attention to the subject and when the Republican candidate opposes tlm whole principle of guaranty ? Mi. TaH's ( ' .enunciation of ( ho guaranty system is so sweeping th.it no disin terested person can for n moment bo- llovo that he will either encourage or permit a law enabling national banks to participate In stnto systems. What the people need Is a system wherein- such stnto banks nnd national banks will be compelled to guarantee depos itors nnd only n Democratic victory can secure this reform.
