"An apparent change In public senti ment In retard to directorships seems now to warrant us in seeking to resign from some of these connections. "Indeed, It may bo In view of tho change In sentiment on tho subject that we shall bo In a better position to serve such prop erties and their security holders, if we are not directors.

Confirmation of reports from Berlin that Julius Rosen wald of Chicago, who Is at present in vestigating European banking systems for financing men of small means, would soon establish In this country a chain of banks In an effort to aid small borrowers who are unable to obtain loans from ordinary financial institu tions, was given hero last night by Dr. Edwin R. L. Gould. Mr. Rosenwald Is co-operating with Andrew Carnegie and Vincent Astor and others, Dr. Gould said. H Is probable that Dr. Gould will ; bo neaa or me system oi un, me nrsi i of which Is to be established In Chicago with a capital of several hundred thous and dollars. "I havo studied the systems," Dr. Gould said, "nnd conferred with others as to tho practicability of Its adoption In America. In reality, It is not a banking system, but a system of credit and loan. There are 15,70) Institutions In Germany of this kind and they are controlled by a control institution. The whole Idea Is to establish credit for the small man on tha basis of character, just as is done I In Italy, Austria, Germany and Ireland." ii oaaasmvBHr From tho Minneapolis Journal. HENCHMEN WAITING SIGNAL Governor Morehcad's Boosters Ready for Big Campaign. SCHEME IS PRACTICALLY SET Friends of the Executive. Will So licit Ills Enteral w the llnoc fur rie.KIecHon' to , the Preji ent 'Of Mce. Tho henchmen have been properly couched and aro now ready to begin the circulation of a petition placing Governor John H. Morehcad In nomination for re election ns governor of Nebraska. Yes, they havo been properly coached to stort the potltlon- In Omaha and soverul purts of the state at practically tha same time. Tho governor knows about tho coaching, and ho Is Just sitting back In tho ex ecutive chair waiting for his "friends to bring him out for the nomination." Of course, when "friends bring one out" and insist, ono cannot without showing gross Ingratitude, graciously decline. There ure several distinct reasons why It Is necessary for "friends to bring tho governor out." Tho big, staring, glaring, flaring reason Is that in his campaign for election as governor Mr. Morohend repeatedly announced that he would ask only ono term, and that under no con sideration would he nsk to bo re-elected. That promise Is easy to make during campaigns. Likewise is It hard to live up to, when one once gets a taste of tho Joys of being a chief executive. It Is so nice to be It again. Different Tlinn Roosevelt. But Governor Morchead dislikes to do the Roosevelt act and deliberately seek the office after he has publicly said ho would never do such a thing. It Is much nicer to have "friends urge ono to come out." So the friends have been coached to do the urging. Then, too, thero Is a burning, stinging reason why tho governor must look for re-election if ho Is to bo In politics nt all. His other plans for his futuro are not materializing. Thefce other plans were to Innd himself In congress in tho place of Congressman jjnhn A. Magulre of tho First district. I "From governor to representative in congress," that was Mr. Moreneoo b orig inal program. What happened to It? The sentiment of 'he leading democrats of the First district will give some clue to what happened to it. Tho leading demo crats there will not Stand for shelving John A. Magulre In favor of Governor Morehead Tho leading newspapers r,f Cass, Richardson, Nemaha, Otoe, Lan caster, Johnson and Paw nro counties havo mado It clear that they are not In favor of shoving Mugulro asldo to make a place for Morehead in congress. So tho governor topk counsel with Mm self, and incidentally a few of his friends, and the result Is that his friends are primed to begin the circulation of peti tions to place him In nomination for re election as governor. This will likely mean that ho will ha'o to beat Georgo W. Berge of Lincoln nt tho primaries, and many political proph ets doubt his ability to do that In view of the good race Berge mado for gov ernor In 1901.
