The mercantile and industrial as well as the
financial interests of this country are in enjoy
ment of unusual and important experiences, such
as sometimes make a man and often mark the
growth of a nation, politically as well as com
mercially. We are shouldered with burdens and responsi
bilities new to us that require not only material
and physical strength, which we have, but also
moral strength and mental breadth. We are
bankers and department store for the world at
this time. We have reached man's estate, com
mercially, financially and industrially, and it
behooves us to bear ourselves like men. We
must put aside childish fears, traditions and
prejudices. We have always been seeking the
prestige and power that have come to us, and
now that we have them let us demonstrate that
we know how to use them. Let us look ahead
and be prepared in every way to retain the dis
tinguished position we have gained.
The Harriman National Bank believes that
this attitude will meet with the approbation of
all thoughtful men and women. It is assumed
by the bank in a liberal spirit of willingness
to fully share in the responsibilities, and, as
a public institution, to extend its aid and friendly
advice whenever and wherever it consistently
can.

; was an anonymous lett r. It was dated
September In and w is addressed to Mrs.
j Schmidt in Shoholu, I'a , w here she had
1 been spending part of the summer with
i her son. The Coroner read the letter
I silently-- he had previously caused the
hush iii'l to translate letters In lieiman
i which .Mr. Schmidt had written to his
I wife. Then he handed the letter to Mr.
! Schmidt. N
When Mr. RcbmiUt had read it he sank
back In Mis chat I and burst Into tears.
There was no doubt that the OOntontS of
the letter bad drlVSfl the woman to end
tier life and that of the boy. The for
1 oner went to the bed snd lifting the
; b hoots thnt covered the bodies said
1 "Now you see why thts has happened
and why she did it. You sec what a

Then the Coroner Stepped to the Fide

said :
j "Tins letter ihall remain oonfldentlal,
I doom it a matter of honor to keep from
