Editorial Correspondence
SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 23. After regular exercise at
Soboba, we didn't relish the idea of spending five hours on a
bug with no outdoor activity. But while the outdoors waa lack
ing there waa plenty of activity. In fact that Hemet bus run
ning to Riverside waa better muscular exercise than the late
President Coolidge'a electric horse. How that old rattle-trap
flew over that winding narrow road up hill and down dale, with
the five or six passengers rattling around within like so many
dice in a box.
The driver had all the advantage for he sat on a front seat
and had the wheel to hang onto. We forgave him however
when he informed us as we approached Riverside that he had
to speed up a bit to catch the San Diego bus having been
delayed ten minutes at Oilman Springs. As it was we missed
the connection at the Riverside station but flagged the outgoing
S. D. bus just after entering the outskirts of the city.

But we do know this: that impulse, represents an elemental
biological something, in the human race, which has existed
pretty close to 300,000 years, and which we fear does represent
the greatest single obstacle to securing a permanent and work
able plan for world peace. In plain English that something is
this: man is instinctively a fighting animal, Irish or not Irish
he LIKF.S to fight. And if for some reason or other he can't
fight, then he likes to watch a fight. That, instinct is stronger
in some than in others, stronger in youth thau any time there
after, but no matter how civili.ed we THINK we have become,
it exists, to a greater or less extent in all till death.
Of course as long as we have hit on this subject w might
as well finish it the answer to that is to secure what the late
Henry James termed a moral substitute for war. That is in
stead of fighting our fellow men with guns and gas, divert the
combative instinct against such universal enemies as disease,
fires, floods and the like.

THE Brick Store, a stated In Uiee
chronicles yesterday, waa mer
chant, banker, broker and business
adviser for the whole great Klamatn
country.
It edged Into the banking business
In the simplest manner Imaginable.
It customer sold their crops or
their cattle or their sheep or their
products of whatever kind and
brought the money to the Brick
Store for safo keeping.
Then, when occasion arose to pay
out money, they scribbled on any
scrap of paper that came handy an
order on the Brick Store and signed
It. and this scrap of paper passed s
a check and waa psld when pre
sented. IN the papers found the other day

wanted where b found It and wrote
a check. When th check came in,
It ws paid out of hla balance, If
he had one, and If hla balance waa
exhausted It ws paid anyway and
charged up against him as an over
draft. These overdraft were paid and
the account adjusted whenever sales
were made and money came In. The
Brick Store KNEW ITS CUSTOMERS.
(Thl custom, It Is perhaps well
to explain here, waa common at
. that tlm Is livestock communities,
even where more formal bank ex
isted. Stockmen and farmers seldom
though of arranging a loan before
hand and signing a note. They Just
wrote checks and later settled for
the overdraft. It waa only with the
advent of tighter banking laws and
less permanent populations that the
custom died out.)
IN this connection, W. A. (Bill)
Deizell some year ago told this
writer an amusing story.
Shortly after the adoption of Ore
gon' first state banking law, a
spruce young exemlner appeared at
the Brick Store to go over It bank
ing business. After a half day spent
on the books, he showed up before
the owners practically foaming at
the mouth.
"Do you know the fix you're in?"
he demanded. "You've got a long line
of loans out, and the only assets I
can find are a big list of overdrafts!
If you don't get out and get these
overdraft converted Into bankable
notes, you're a good aa looking into
the penitentiary doors right now!"
"The funny part of It,' Bill added
with a chuckle, "waa that every one
of those overdrafts waa as good as
gold." .
Again, you see, the Brick Store
knew Its customers.
f 4
ONE more talc, related the other
day to this writer:
"One of the Brick Store's big ac
count (a man known over the
whole east of the mountains coun
try) ran on for several years, and,
finally waa figured 'up for settle-1
ment. The owners looked over the
figure and one of them shook his
hesd. 'I don't think that's correct,'
he said. 'We owe him money instead
of him owing us.'
So they figured It again, over
and over, and It finally turned out
that they DID owe him money
$10,000, woieh was promptly paid, to
the great surprise of the customer.
who hadn't kept track of it him
self, and was astonished, to learn
that he had o much coming."
THEY were shrewd, capable business
men. those proprietors of the
old Brick Store, and they were out
to make money for themselves. But
they were HONEST.

when Lloyds declined to Insure against
war at any price. Today they will
give 10 to 1 against war within six

The Inside on Lloyd's temporary
