Raiabolt of Korfollc Oppoaea the Baakraptey I.avr K. Beajamla , Aaarews Speaks - at Baaqast, From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 11 (Special.) The State Bankers elected officers at their meeting today besides listening to several good papers. The attendance numbered over too. The officers elected were: Jacob Trennry, Pawnee City, president; E. F. Folda, Schuyler, vice president. By a. Changs of the constitution the remaining offloera will be appointed by the executive committee of fifteen. J. II. Cain, cashier of the Stella bank, talked on "What are we Hore For?" He answered the query In a humorous vein, besides telling of the great need of banks and their good to the communities In which they thrived. Objects to Baakraptey Law. N. A. Ralnbolt, ' ex-prealdent of the Norfolk National bank, read a paper dealing with the advisability of repeal. Ing or modifying the bankruptcy law. He detailed the history of bankruptcy legislation from its Inception, and took a stand generally In opposition to legis lation ef that character. I am to consider the question of the repeal or mouincallon of the present bank ruptcy law. This question wilt be answered iaigeiy by lnqulr.ng l; we neea such a law at all. and what such a law is sup posed to do. To become a bankrupt is easy without reference to a law on the subject. It Is not easy to avoid be coming a bankrupt, law or no law, at our late monetary revulsion haa fully taught ua We need no law, then, to become bankrupts, to render ua unable to pay our debts. Do we need such a lawT Poee It promote the welfare of our peupieT Isoea more good result from It than evil? These are the questions involved, and while my predlllctlona were In favor of the law because, on the surface. It ap. peered to be humane and favored the op pressed. Such study as I have been able to give the subject since It was assigned me haa convinced me that these ques tions ought to be answered In the negative.

Hastings of Wllber. The meeting came to an end with a banquet at the Llndell hotel last night. E. Beajanala Aadrewa' Address. E. Benjamin Andrews of the State uni versity was the principal speaker and' said In jMurt: A large part of banks' power for good proceeds from their close asaoclatlon with each other, partly spontaneous, for c.ear Ing putposes, and partly artificial, the work ot tne national bunking law. Association is a power for good. Hanks, of course, ueslre to make money, that is their business, and I strongly maintain that no mischief made poasmle througn the co operation of the banks In this country can begin to offset the gooa which such union enal'', "V- 'orces them to accomplish. Banking Institutions, aa a class, are pub lic instructors in honesty. Individual banks, take them as they run, are honest Institu tions, doing legitimate business. The pub lic is more and mure convinced of this, as Jh 'act .hat such concerns are Increasingly employed aa custodians of trust funds and a executors of trusts. The bank, as a rule, minds Its own buaineea and saws wood." It discounts notes at market rates. It does not lake uo extra hasardous ventures. It la neither a huck ster, a speculator.- nor a gambler. It does not cheat. Its representations can be de pended on Its contracts are not drawn to deceive, but are aa clear and plain is language can make them.

The rapid turning over of resources also toll. mu do not let money lie Idle In your vaults If ynu can safely avoid this. 1 he common Idi-a of a bank as a place w here money Is Incessantly taken In, stored, kept hoarded, piled up and never given out save In a stlny and reluctant wuy Is, of course, a ml-ike. The xreat anxiety of the officials is to get money taken out of the bunk, to mat Ki t it. place It where it will do the mo.t good provided only that placements may be mnde with safety. You wish to work the money for all it is worth ami eMecm It a mipior tune If you cannot make It work. Then, too. excepting holidays, you are at tne business unremittingly, tvery day not a holiday and day after day the bank n open lor misiness. 1 nire is no loanng, there U no partial time. You make little noise, you do not strive or cry. The ma- eilnery of your mill Is not heard, but It Is going all the same. take It thut this lesson of thrift In Its triple phase saving the "nickels," rapid turning and working all the time la one which almost all people greatly need to learn. Men often speak of the wealth wasted by the rich. Waste by rich or by poor Is a calamity. If not a crime. Doubt less the noor waste a far arreater Dronortlon of their Income than the rich waste of theirs. Most of It occurs through lack of thrift. None of us, poor or rich, have been taught suMciently or taught with sufficient earnestness, how vital Is the Importance of saving, of making the most of resources, of aneni. incessant industry. 1 nave sougnt or many years to the best of my ability to Inculcate this lesson upon all the young reople who have come under my Instruc tion, and I have found useful and helpful the example of the bank as a ceaseless worker, making Its gains piecemeal, in In finitesimal portions, but using them so In dustriously as at last to heap up fortunes. 1 notice now a lounn way in wnicn tne bank is a teacher of the community where It Is placed. The bank Is the chief expert adviser of Its community, touching the community's IndustHal and financial situa tion. In the exact appraisal of property and In telling how men stand In a business way. Heaourht for loans In every direction, your bank is obliged to study business condi tions, it hdS to make careful estimates of property values, of the changes con tinually taking place therein, of business methods and of business men. The bank s conclusions In these several particulars and Its methods or arriving at them have to be continually revised. Study of n situation a year sgo Is often good for nothing today. Bankers have to he up to date In their opin ions of conditions and of men. Not Infre quently a business man's first hint as to the unsoundness of his methods Is the cutting down of his discount line at his bank, in the nature of the case, no other business institution can equal the bank in this serv ice of which I now speak, because no other can secure the necessary knowledge. SUGAR FACT0RYJ3N FULL TIME Beets Belnar Delivered at Standard Works of aa Excellent Qaalltr. FREMONT, Neb.. Oct 14. (Special.) The factory of the Standard Beet Sugar company at Leavltt began operations for the season October S, and la now running to Its full capacity. Since the last season the machinery has been thoroughly over hauled and repaired and two new boiling plants installed. The carbonatlon presses are still able to turn out the symp faster than It can be taken care of. At present only six of the eight presses are In use, four for the first carbonatlon and two for the second, and these are not being run today on account of there being too much syrup on hand. Each day from 225 to 250 tons of beets enter the ahute and within twenty-four hours from the time they go through the slicing machines the sugar from them Is ready for sacking at the other end of the building. . The quality of beets this year is far above the average and of a uniform grade. They can be worked to a better advantage than a mixture of high and low grade beets whose average percentage is the same. The factory has run for days at a time this season on, beets averaging 10 per cent sugar and very few beeta have so far been delivered that went under 11 per cent. The coefficient of purity Is also several points higher than last season,, en' abllng the factory to save a larger per cent of the sugar. The factory began the "campaign" on North Platte beets raised on Irrigated land. They are about as fine beets aa were ever made Into sugar, of a uniform else and quality and running up to 16 psr cent. They are arriving almost every day by the train load. Beets are also being hipped In from other western points along the line of the Union Pacific, some of them coming from Grand Island. The factory at that place Is not running. It's machinery and processes are aald by practical beet men to be obsolete and If ever run again almost everything except the walls, en gines and boilers will have to be replaced with a new outfit, A few acres were raised at Valley and D. Heln has some good sited fields on the C. E. Mayne ranch. These were' badly Injured by the high water last summer and will not go over four or five tons to the acre. They are of good quality and will grade 12 to 15 per cent. The beet crop In Dodge county la small and, the tonnage low, but aa the percent age of sugar - Is good the beet raisers will make some money. Last year over 1,000 acres were planted to beets. Every thing looka favorable for the most sue cessful season for the factory It has had since It started and it will turn out more sugar thla year than before, all of It of a first class quality. The refuse which laat year was fed by the Standard Cattle com pany la now being hauled out on the land. The molasses, as before. Is being stored In the large tank east of the building. Bala Beaeflta Fall Orala. NORTH LOTJP. Neb., Oct. 14. Speclal. Good rains the past week have been excel lent for the fall wheat, of which a large acreage haa been put In this fall In thla vicinity.

JUSTICE TO ALL PARTIES DEMANDS IT Qaestloa of Calllas; a oust Itntlonnl Coaveatloa la Sot to Be Voted oa at This Pall's Elec tion. (From a taff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 14.-tSpeclal.)-The re gents of the State university came In for a good share of adverse criticism this morning because they are allowing J. W. Crabtree. Inspector of high schools, ap pointed by them and paid by the state, to be a part owner In a teachers' employ ment agency that charges graduates of the university fees for securing them po sitions as teachers, and Mr. Crabtree has been severely censured because he, as an officer with the power to almost conttol the selection of teachers In many schools of the state, saw fit to enter Into any such concern aa a partner. While Mr. Crabtree denied that he had made bargains to secure girls and young men positions through his agnecy If they would pay him a certain per cent of their first year's salary, Mr. Towne. Mr. Crab tree's partner, has done so, and a per cejit fit the profits resulting goes Into the pock ets of the high school Inspector. Mr. Crab tree admitted also to having recommended app::tants tor places to his agency and excused his action by saying he had also recommendrd them to other agencies and had assisted parties to get positions who belonged to no agency. It is the opinion of a large number of peoole here who urn Interested that the regents should see to' It that their appointees should avoid even the suspicion of graft. Governor Mickey, while not Baying whether he thought Crabtree wtis using his position to work teachers hunting places for money, said he thought that all such cases should be thoroughly In vestigated. "Anything that has the least suspicion of graft In public office should not be tolerated an Instant," he said. "If charges that are at all substantial are brought against any official he should be thoroughly investigated and It the charges are groundless then he should be exonerated and If they are proven true the officer should be punished In some way and the wrong righted." 1 Senator Sloan of Fillmore, a member of the state legislature, said: "The charge against the man is certainly enough to warrant an Investigation, and If they are proven true. It should be stopped." Sev eral others who have read Mr. Smith's let ter and Mr. Crabtree's denial desire tha regents to take some action toward an Investigation. For several years Mr. Crabtree, though comparatively a young man, has been well known to the educators of the state. It la generally believed, but the belief cannot be confirmed, that he Is slated to be the next superintendent of the Peru Normal school just aa soon as Tom Majors Is able to get Superintendent Clark out of the way. Unless Mr. Crabtree can get further proof to counteract the state ment of Mr. Smith, this exposure may cut some figure In the selection of the next principal. Ko Constitutional Convention. Considerable unnecessary worry and talk has been Indulged in lately as to whether the call for a constitutional convention au thorized by the late legislature In a joint resolution and vetoed by the governor, would be Included ph the official ballot. In an opinion filed last year by Attorney Gen eral Prout the signature of the governor or his veto to a proposed constitutional amend ment cuts no figure. Therefore, If the secretary of state holds the opinion final the call will be Included on the ballot. But it will not be included this time. Not till the next legislative election will the question be voted upon, so the preliminary talk aa to what will happen and what will not happen Is immaterial now. Even then the constitutional convention Is not a sure thing, because after It Is voted upon the legislature will canvass the vote; then If It has carried will come the call for the con vention. Of course the conventlon's-work will have to be ratified by the voters before the constitution will be changed. Stasis Iasnranee Crusade. Deputy Auditor Pierce of the Insurance department Intends to begin a crusade oi the unauthorised fire Insurance companies doing business In the state. This will be done In conjunction with the Insurance de partments of several states which have agreed to run all unauthorized companies out of business. To that end Mr. Pierce Is very desirous that circulars received by agents and others from unauthorized com panies be sent to him, that he may warn those acting as agents for the companies of the penalty for so doing and also warn the public that such companies are wholly Irresponsible and that It Is Impossible under the Nebraska laws for policy holders to re cover from them. Alarns Goaas Treasury. The American Bank Protection company will In a few days have completed tm In stallation of the new burglar alarm at the state treasury. It Is attached to gongs ga lore and every time anyone moves after working hours In the neighborhood of the vault there will be rings for everybody within healing distance of the state house. If the door of the vault Is left open after closing hours the gong will go on a ram page, or If anything even gets sunplelout In the secretary's office the gong will tell it. In the meantime this Is all very gratify ing to Deputy Bubcock, because last Au gust a suspicious looking man looked through the window at him during the noon hour and told the deputy that he wanted to clean the locks on the safe for him. Mr. Babcock told the man he didn't want them cleaned and after looking at each other a few minutes the man left and the deputy fondled his slx-ehooter. This leaked out today as an attempt to rob the treasury and three men were seen near the windows of the office the night before sitting on the grass In earnest conversation. Taken Suddenly III. Julius a Dittman. the state house re porter on the Evening News, was stricken with acute appendicitis while at work in the News office this afternoon and fainted from the pain.

The republican convention of supervisor districts Three and Four was held In thU city last night and was largely attended.
