BANKS FOR SMALL LOANS.
The Jewish head of the mail-order business of Sears,
Roebuck & Go., Chicago, is developing an idea which
promises to have a tremendous power for social uplift
and improvement if it is accepted and carried into effect
in other parts of the country.
Mr. Julius Rosenwald recognizes that in driving out the
loan sharks and ten percenters who prey upon the needy
a great economical obstruction will be removed. He is
preparing to inaugurate in this country a serieß of banks
for making loans to small borrowers.
A number of philanthropists are interested in the under
taking, which, while intended to pay its way, will be
operated largely as a philanthropic institution.
At present the day laborers and poorer people general
ly have no way to procure temporary loans to tide them
over their periods of distress, for they have no standing
at the regular banks.
The new banks will not make loans, however, exoept
upon getting reliable assurance that the money is to bo
spent in legitimate purposes, and it is the purpose of these
banks to give those who come to them for money helpful
advice and encouragement to save.
There is no reason that we can see why such a line
of banks should not be easily maintained. Of course, there
is no field iu them for largo profits, but they could easily
be self-supporting.
We can think of no more practical way of doing real
philanthropy than this one of stretching out a helpful hand
to those who are victims of extortionists and usurers. It
is almost impossible for the very poor to learn ways of
self help and thrift when once the loan sharks get them
in their power.
No greater good could be done for any community than
• philanthropic banking institution, run solely for the pur
pose of encouraging and helping those who are in need of
small funds. An institution of this sort stimulates enter,
prise and prevents waste and exhaustion.
The strum ar.d drain of a pauperised class makes
itself Jelt in all classes. No community can realizo its
fullest prosperity by the wealth of its prominent class. It
is in the general prosperity of its citizens that the prog
ress and development is rooted.
Enterprises of the sort which Mr. Rosenwald is work,
out out in Chicago mean a world of good to the com
munity life. Would that every community in the country
had such a practical philanthropist nt work for it.
A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
Thomas F Ryan considers the new banking system ex
cellent. He thinks all the national banks should go into it
and help to make it succeed the more speedily. He says the
great thing about the new system is that there can never
be another panic like that of 1907.
The underlying conditions of business are good, he
says, and after a brief period of adjustment he expects to
see the country enter upon a new era of prosperity.
"What about anti-trust legislation?” h* was asked.
"Tho onl> truat ! know i« truat the President lam witling and glad
to do that ami so ought everybody to l»«>, after what he liaa done He is
a great man and a great President, and the greatest thing about him la
that he plays no favorite* lie It President of the whole people.”
Mr. Ryan in this now famous interview also said:
Tha Democratl.' party ha* aecom pllahed In lest than a tear what the
Krpublicana could not do at all. The whole country t* proud of Preel
dent Wilson for the masterly way In which he handled the most difficult
Situation and got reaulta. 1 consider It the greatest achievement of aut
President sin' e Lincoln. It would be unfair to him and unpatriotic gen
erally to withhold the moat hearty support of the great measure he line
evolved and made a fact."
This is in fine spiritiand Mr. Rynn is to bp doubly
commended for giving his ringing endorsement to Presi
dent Wilson, in view of the fact that he was opposed to
Wilson's candidancy before the Democratic convention
decided the question.
Thomas F Ryan ia a man whose experience in finance
gives his opinion weight with those who do not feel them
selves qualified to judge in currency problems. He speaks
for himself, but he presents the view which the most able
financiers are taking of the new syatem. There can be no
doubt that as personal bitterness and pique over these re-

forms die down, the whole tone of the business world is
improving and the determination to support and sustain
the government is growing
This shows that this country is in a wholesome and
united frame of mind. Patriotism is stronger than party
hatreds and stronger than the longing of financial giants
to control and dominate the country’s affairs. President
Wilson is one of the greatest and strongest men this coun
try has yet produced. The fact that praise for him comes
from so many surprising sources is one of the evidences of
his great strength.
THE CANAL ZONE COMMISSION
The Inability of some men to see
straight Ik nowhere more In evidence
than in the story of the Panama Ca
nal. One writer went down there
and discovered that the Canal Com
mission was making a profit of some
thousands of dollars out of the com-
Snissary through which Uncle Sam
furnished the food and raiment of
Hhe canal workers. He. therefore,
concluded that he was driving a sharp
bargain with them, and that he was
about on the par with the ordinary
corporation which charges two prices
In the company store.
He failed to inquire at the com
mlssaries as to retail prices, else he
would have found subject for eulogy
rather than for criticism. Think of
going two thousand miles from home
and there buying the best porter
house steaks from native Western
steers for 20 cents, sirloin steaks for
19 cents and round steaks for 13
cents! That Is wo at the American
workers at Panama were able to do
with Uncle Sara as their retail
butcher.
72 Year Old Twin Brothers Are
Separated By Death Due
To Exposure
Louisville, Ky.—Death today separated Daniel H and Samuel V. Har
ris of this city, twin brothers and bosom companions throughout the 72
years of their lives. The Harris brothers were found by the police late
Wednesday, weak from hunger and exposure, in a coal shed on a down
town alley. Samuel was placed In the city hospital, while Daniel was
taken to the county jail.
Daniel liißt night begged the jailor to take him to the hospital so
he could help care for his brother, but this request was refused Both
declared they never had been sepal ated before Early today Daniel was
found dead on his cell bunk. Physicians said death was due to starva
tion and exposure. At the hospital it was stated that the twins’ separa
tion would not be for long, as Samuel was unconscious and physicians
declared he could not survive.
For forty years the brothers drove mule cars here, but when the trol
ley cars came they retired, buying a farm with the sfi,ooo they had saved.
Later they lost the farm and when Infirmities came upon them they be
came dependent.

Nazimova in ‘‘Bella Donna.”
Few dramatizations of novels have
been ns successful on the stage as the
adaptutton thnt James Bernard Fagan
made from Robert I lichens’ famous
and popular story, Bella Donna, which
Is now In its second year with the
distinguished Russian actress, Mad
ame Nazlmova playing the title role.
Bella Donna Is no w-eakllng, weeping
and mourning woman over the past
which has cut her off from society;
she glories In what she has accom
plished and marches along her. relent
less way In search of fresh victims.
It Is new and startling to find a lady
with a past so absolutely ruthless.
When she makes a respectable mar
riage it Is only In order that she may
be possessor of title and accompany
ing wealth. It Is said that with won
derful art, Nagtmova depicts the cold
blooded and merciless selfishness, the
murderous malevolence and baser pas
sions of the heroine and that In th ■
role she is absolutely fascinating. Thai
shs holds the attention of her audi
ence and that she Is a wonderful ar

„ Augusta, Ga., Jan. 11, 1914.
We, the undersigned ministers of Augusta, are
in deep sympathy with the promoters of Walker
Institute in their struggle for existence, and feel
that to discontinue this work which means so much
to the welfare of this community, would be a great
calamity and gross reflection on the white people
of the town.
We, therefore, without reserve, endorse the
appeal, and ask our friends everywhere to help
them liberally. Help given them will be wisely in
vested and appreciated bv us.

PARCEL POST FORTUNE
With the Increase in the Parcel Post
weight limit there has come an oppor
tunity for somebody to make a for
tune. It seems that the number of
heavy parcels transported in the mails
is increasing very fast, but most of
them go one way—from the city in
stead of toward it.
The city wants a lot of things to
come its way from the country, but
they don’t come, for a very simple rea
son. The city business house has
every facility at hand for wrapping
parcels securely and yet with the least
unnecessary weight. Light board boxes,
corrugated paper cartons, strong
wrapping paper are always at hand.
The farmer has no such facilities.
The man who will get up a system,
say, of cheap corrugated paper cover
ings; so thatrthe farmer-can-rip off the
amount of material he needs and fold
it up into a substantial box tor, ship
ment will have a fortune at his’hand.
Somebody who . needs the money and
has the idea will incidentally do the
public a big service.—New York Press.
