SALEM. June 17. A further delay has
J resulted In the construction of the Salem
j ties, is almost indefinitely deferred. The
blame 'or the delay, says. Major C F.
Cramer, the Government supervising arch
itect, lies entirely with the quarry; com
pany. A. Campbell, president of tbe Camp
bell Construction Company. which is
building the Sajem Poatofflce, Is now In
Washington, D. C., where hehas placed
the matter before the proper authorities,
and satisfactory results are expected in
the Immediate future. For their failure to
deliver the sandstone In accordance with
the agreement under which the material
was contracted, the owners of the quarry
Tefuse to pay any forfeit or penalty. It is
tq secure an adjustment- of these condi
tions that Mr. Campbell Is now In Wash
ington, that the Federal building here may
be pushed to an early completion. It had
been hoped by the contractors to have the
building finished by September 15. but this
further delay In procuring materials that

WILL LOWER INTEREST.
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

on all subjects pertaining to his court
martial, and refused to make any state-
ment or criticism of its origin. 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

CO EDITION OF CROPS.
Dronth In Some Sections, Rain in
Others Retards -CroTrth.
WASHINGTON, June 17. 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.
