OFFICERS ELECTED IN THE AFTERNOON

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.
If the vlewe I express meet with ths die
sent of a maloiity of Toy hearers 1 shall
not be surprised.
If no one would take advantage of the
iw nui innee lor wnom it was Intended
there would be no opposition to It. Hut
where one deserving seeks relief five or
more unworthy resort to Its use. I ex
a mined the records of the ninety-four rases
of bankruptcy in the district where I live.
With tweuty-one of the bankrupts I was
personally acquainted. Of these twenty

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

begin to offset the gooa which such union

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

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.

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.
