Reaabaa Why Branch Banians; Js Strongly Favored. St. Paul Pioneer Press. The Kansas and Missouri bankers man aged to pass a resolution opposing branch Ranking as un-American and tending to ward monopoly. Brznch banking Is un American only in tho sense that If. has not been recognized under the National bank law. Over one-half of the states permit branch banking today, and the United States Itself -engaged In branch banking until President Jackson succeed ed In crushing the Bank of the United States. No one at that time thought of branch banks as ono of tho objections to the Institution, though there was a vig orous search for any defect that would serve tho purpose. Moreover, from that day to this, branch banks have nour ished In the United States under state laws. So Jar then, from beln an un American device, brancn banking is es sentially American, taking its rise In the first National bank charter drawn up by Hamilton and signed by Washington. The other objection Is absurd. So tar from promoting monopoly, branch bank ing would encourage competition. It la the hjcnl bank under the present regime that has a practical monopoly, charging for. loans what it can got. Under tho branch braking system this monopoly would be limited, by the establishment or tbe fexr qf establishment of a branch of some metropolitan institution, and this In turn would have to reckon with Its com petitors of equal strength. Furthermore, there Is the poszlbllity under tho present law of the extension of the "community of interest" plan to banks. This move ment la already under way, the stock holders of several larger banks possessing a controlling Interest In banks In other centers. The authorization of branch banking would not only have the probable effect of stopping this movement by tak ing away all Incentive, but it would give the Government a direct control which Is now wantin;. It Is perfectly comprehensible that small bankers not now subject to serious com petition would oppose branch banking, the 1 effect of which In every country has been to reduce rites In localities distant from tho centers and to equalize Interest rate. But It Is not reasonable that this opposi tion should have popular support. Forlow- . er rates or interest which, we repeat, have been the uniform and the naturally i Inevitable result of branch banking open j the doors of the local bint to those who cannot afford high rates and help to j equalize -opportunities in that localty. wmrc unuorm rates tnrougnout me coun try equalize opportunities as. between lo calities.

He said, however, that his work In the Philippines, he thought, was Justified by the condi tions. It -r as hinted that a reprimand was awaiting him for utterances attributed to him In the press, but he refused to be drawn into a conversation on tha.t sub ject. Just before the train -started for tho East he was neked about the cruelties at tributed to the Filipinos as compared with the treatment accorded prisoners' by United States, soldiers. He avoided the question, simply stating that the tortures inflicted by American troops were Insignifi cant In severity and number as compared With the Indignities to which they were subjected by the native bandits.

The Weather Bureau's weekly summary of crop condi tions. Issued today, says: Highly favorable temperature conditions prevailed In the great corn states of the Central vallejs. The Central and West Gulf States suffered from excessive heat, and the districts from the Upper Missouri Valley to the New England Coast have experienced temperatures too low for fa vorable growth. The Lower Missouri and Upper MlasiMpippl Valleys and the southern Portion of the Lake reelon j where In previous weeko farm work has ueen interrupted Dy neavy rains, have re ceived heavy rains and crops In portions of these districts are much In need of cultivation. The almost entire absence of rain In the Central and West Gulf State? has Intensified drouth conditions previously existing In those ssctlons. Weather conditions on the Pacific Coast were favorable, except in Oregon and Washington, where the nights were too cool. Corn has made rapid growth In Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana and portions of Ullnolp; Iowa and Ohio. In portions of Iowa and Northern Illinois the crop has suffered from heavy rains, and in Wisconsin and Michigan from both excessive moisture and low temperatures. Generally throughout tho Middle and South Atlantic States corn is doing well. but is suffering seriously from drouth In the Central and West Gulf States, and Is being cut for fodder In portions of Texas. Winter wheat has made generally favorable progress. Harvest has begun in Kansas and Southern Illinois, has progressed under favorable conditions In Missouri, is about finished In the Caro lines and Tennessee, and wheat 13 ripen ing In Southern Nebraska with a promis ing outlook. Winter wheat continues in promising condition In Washington and Orec-nn ami La good crop Is being harvested In Northern ana central California. With few ex ceptions. Spring wheat Is In excellent condition. His Strength With tfae People. Kansas Cltv Star. It Is commonly said Jn Washington that there has not been another President within the memory of the present genera tion whose Integrity of motive has been so universally recognized as that of The odore Roosevelt. His character Is so transparent that every ono admits the absurdity of questioning the honesty of his endeavor tb give the whole country thr best possible administration. The most inveterate of hh political foes who come In contact with htm declare with out hesitation that he Is "square." In facr, that Is one trouble with him. It is 30 natural for him to do the decent thing without regard to the exigencies of pol itics that he frequently gives offense by compelling men trained in more devJou3 methods to live up to hK standards. Nat urally, there lp little personal sympathy between the President tnd th tvnioni i politicians. He Is,not close to the polit ical leauers, many or wnom regard him as an interloper. The consequence is that he has fewer friends In Gongress than many other Presidents have had. If Mr. Roosevelt continues his present course, he will find that he need not fear the pol iticians. Senator Burton, for instance, wis made a sudden convert t6 Cuban rec iprocity by finding the sentiment in Kan sas to be strongly for tbe President. Oth er poetical leaders wjll be affected in like manner If they discover that Mr. Roose veltIs strong with their constituents. The "appeal to the people Is effective when made by a man whom they trust. .Every woman covets & shapely, pretty figure, and many of them deplore the loss of their girlish forms after marriage. The bearing of children is often destructive to the mother's shapeliness. r's FHend TWENTY YEARS OF SUCCESS In the treatment of chronic diseases, such as liver, kidney and stomach disorders, constipation, diarrhoea, dropsical swellings, Bright's disease, etc. KIDNEY AND URINARY Complaints, painful, difficult, too frequent, milky or b'oody urine, unnatural discharges speeally cured.
