To the Editor of The Journal This communication 1 not to the bankers, nor to our leading business men. but is simply a letter from one of the com mon people to the common people. Having been a banker for a number of years, and been on both sides of bank counters during bank runs, It seems to me I may be able to say something which may be useful to the uninformed in banking matters. Banks are among the most ancient. useful and necessary of our publlo in stitutions. In very early times "they were highly esteemed, ana great con fidence was placed in their integrity." They are the more entitled to our re spect, confidence and esteem In these days of our Comparatively perfect bank- 4., v,Am Banks promote foreign and domestic HAGANS Magnolia Balm A liquicl preparation for the Face, JNeck, Anna and Hands.

They assist In develop Ing and fostering all classes of In dustries. They open markets and great ly facilitate the conversion of the world's products Into money by a vast ana comprenensive system or exchanges. And all of these In turn afford and fur nish profit and employment to a very large portion or tne people or every community. Combining their own capital which should be generous, with the deposits of their patrons, which in the aggre gate are large, enables them to create and roster many worthy and legitimate enterprises which would otherwise be impossible or only partially successful; and in this progressive development of a country's resources every depositor nas an Honorable part. Depositors Alone to Blame.' A single deposit would be useless; but the many combined become a power In the country's advancement. There fore respect and sustain your bank. If it ie wortny, especially in a temporary stress like the present, by leaving yqur money In the bank and thus assist In Sreventlng further failures, for it Is un eniably true that there need be no further bank suspensions, and If there are It will be simply and solely caused by the unwise and frensied depositors. ' Bank runs like theatre firea are caused by excessive and usually cause less fear. Even in a theatre fire very few Uvea are lost where the people are calm and act with deliberation. .The holacaust only occurs where- the panic stricken people in their freniy destroy each other. I . The bank run Is far less excusable, for. the people have time to think and few bank failures would occur If -the people were reasonable. Right think ing thoughtfulnesv of - others and right acting in the Interest of your fellowmen and the community, would be an absolute .preventive of bank runs or bank breaking by depositors, for such It Is, pure and simple. The abstract and dominant thought of those In a bank run so far as they can be said to think at all is, if I can ret my money I do not want It, but f I cannot gat It I want it. For example, - year ago, before the organization of the clearing bouse of San Francisco, I stood to a quivering crowd of thousands before the Hlbernla bank. I had no money in the bank, was "simply a looker on in Venice"; for two days that throng surged the streets, clamoring for Its money, hurl ing all sorts of maledictions upon its officers. At the bank entrance one line going in, another coming out, the pay ments were slow of course, accounts to be verified and for other reasons. rear Instantly Dispelled. Suddenly a shout was heard: "Dono hoe Kelly & Co. are backing the bank, and In two hours the crowd dispersed and the run was over. Observe the dominant thought of that seething, senseless mass of men, "If. I can get my money, I don't want it." Thus the Hlbernla bank was saved from it enemies the depositors who In all good conscience should have been its best friends and through more than 40 years it has been a con stant blessing to countless multitudes of men, women and children. Now the significant fact remains that the Hlbernla bank was no safer nor better after than before the great banking house of Donohoe, Kelly & Co. came to Its rescue. It was sound to the core, but with all of Its soundness and stability, had not the hands of the bank wrecking depositors been stayed the bank would nave gone to 11s oeaiu, with ruin to many and loss and hard ship on every hand, and over it could KlA hnmlriHfl " This is simply a typical case of hun dreds of banks under similar condi tions under present conditions, if you please, either saved by the sterling sense and confidence of Its depositors or wrecked bv them in the delirium of unreasoning fear. Where Kesponslbllity Lls. ClttiAnH nf Portland, reason this mat ter out for yourselves You can if you will, and in this emergency acquit your selves like men and women worthy the superb heritage you have in this match less city of Portland. Especially re markable for the steadiness, stability and safety of its banking system, thrice fnrtnnata have we been for the past "40 years in the ability and Integrity of nearly all or the managers our oanns. Scarcely a defalcation worth mentioning in all these years; There have been a few bank failures, and nearly all of thert through Inexperience and mistaken judgment as to loans and investments. When we consider our location and condition, far removed from money cen ters, constantly In the midst of unde veloped pioneering enterprises in a. cos mopolitan seaport city, and the develop ment and growth Of our many indus tries, the Immense and ever-increasing magnitude of our trade and commerce, the millions upon millions of dollars in our bank transactions, which the com paratively recent clearing-house -reports only partially reveal, our bank failures ana losses to depositors have bean phe nomenally insignificant. Isolate the very few- exceptions and our banking system has been safe, sound and sensible. This may be large ly accounted for in the fact that the stock and mining exchange and' the wheat nit. so common in tares cities. have never obtained a foothold in Fort land to stimulate the gambling propen sity of "-our people, and therefor our banks have never been under thjs In sidious and dangerous influence. This .alone absolutely removes from our banking system all of the harmful Wall street features and should firmly establish them In your confidence, for they hold the key to our whole commer cial and industrial activities. Have you withdrawn ' Our money from some bank and are you withholding It from circulation T If so, by so much you have used your greatest influence toward paralyzing every industry In our community. The banks expect to pay you dollar for dollar, and only ask that you let them alone until they can adjust themselves to the present situation. Confidence and moderation modera tlpn and confidence on the part of the depositors are the only things neces sary to an honorable and successful adjustment of our present difficulties. With your permission I will continue this communication in a future issue. E. QUACKENBUSH. Portland. Nov. 13, 1907. AT THE THEATRES "Under Southern Skies" Tonight.
