of my personal and political friendship for
you.
"I do not suppose it would be presump

appreciates the vigilance, the honesty of
purpose, the wisdom and the patriotism
which you have exercised in events which

who may criticise you now will accord to
you full justice before history is written.

Governor O’Neal's Reply
'•Montgomery, May 31, 1913.
"Hon. Frank V. Evans. Montgomery:
"My Dear Mr. Evans—Your letter of tile
33d instant tendering your resignation as
state examiner of public accounts, to take
effect on June 1, has been duly received.
"I sincerely regret that my administra
tion will be deprived of the benetit of
your very valuable services during the
remainder of my term, but I could not be
so selfish as to Interpose an objection to
your accepting a position which will pro
mote your personal interests.
"Tenure of office In Alabama Is not
governed by any civil service rules. Not
withstanding the splendid record you have
made as an examiner of public accounts
with the change of administration after
the next election you could have no guar
antee of reappointment.
i desire to tnank you In behalf of the
state for the very valuable services you
have rendered during the time you have
served as an examiner of public accounts.
With a thorough knowledge bf bookkeep
ing and accounting you possessed that
knowledge of law and that capacity to
comprehend the statutes governing public
officers so essential to thp proper dis
charge of your important duties. You
had. in addition, that most essential of
all qualities, absolute courage in the dis
charge of your duties. You wrere no re
specter of persons, and while always cour
teous and considerate, you allowed no
personal friendship or political Influences
to bias your actions. You sought only to
find the truth, and when you have reached
a conclusion you did not hesitate to de
clare it.
"Permit me, therefore, to say that the
state has lost a most valuable public
servant, and I sincerely trust that in your
return to private life you will And that re
ward which capacity, high integrity and
devotion to duty should command.
"I desire to express my grateful appre
ciation for your kind expressions in ref
erence to myself personally, and my sin
cere regret that official relations which
have been so cordial and pleasant should
be terminated. Very truly yours.

GREAT CONFIDENCE

Baker’s Recent Words Only
Reflection of Those of J.
P. Morgan Last Winter
COUNTRY PASSING
WAITING PERIOD
Money Is Harder to Secure for Large
Enterprises Because Men With
Capital Are Awaiting
Readjustment
By HOLLAND
New York. June 6.—(Special.)—George
F. Baker, who followed Mr. Morgan as a
witness before the Pujo committee, waa
quoted in dispatches from Chicago a day
or two ago as having spoken as any man
of intelligence would do if his confidence
in the prosperity of the United States was
very strong. Mr. Baker does not often
speak for publication w'hen he is at his
home in this city. So It has been assumed
that his recent sojourn in Chicago and
the close personal louch with those who
are directing very important affairs in
the Mississippi valley served so greatly to
strengthen his own profound belief in the
healthfulness that characterizes almost
every kind of business in the United States
as to justify him in speaking briefly but
emphatically for publication.
Mr. Baker’s views are similar to those
which J. Pierpont Morgan held at the
time of his departure from the United
States for Egypt, in January. One of Mr.
Morgan’s personal friends met him, either
in Egypt or on the way back from Egypt
to Rome, and began conversation with
him to the end that he might find out
what Mr. Morgan’s view of existing finan
cial and business conditions in the United
States was. This conversation he report
ed to some of his friends soon after his
return to this city.
He asked Mr. Morgan if he thought the
depressing financial situation, especially in
the securities market, was to be long con
tinued. In reply, Mr. Morgan said that
it ought always to be borne In mind that
until human nature changes men are cer
tain to trade, to barter, even to speculate
and to take up very large plans for the
development of natural resources. That
being the truth, this factor must not be
overlooked in considering business condi
tions. It is certain, Mr. Morgan thought,
to compel renewed business and financial
activity. Furthermore, the harvesting of
phenomenal crops such as have been gar
nered for the past six or seven years In
the United States and are likely to be gar
nered even in larg v amounts in the com
ing years will inevitably lead to a reeur
i er.ee of financial, commercial and busi
ness activity. Mr. Morgan said, further
more that it seems to be forgotten that
there are always intermitten periods ji
depression coming in between times of
great prosperity. This he thought was
very healthful.
The present slackening is only tempor
ary. a halting to catch breath and to *o
gain energy so that there may be strength
to go on with renewed vigor. Mr. Mor
gan also spoke with Intense enthusiasm,
although In a few' words, of the healthful
growth not only materially, but morally
and intellectually, which Is to characterize
the United States.
These were probably the last words
spoken by Mr. Mo'gan to any friend In
which he expressed his never changing
confidence in the permanence of American
Institutions ami the healthfulnt as of our
material growth.
What Mr. Baker is reported to have
said at Chicago .sounds JM:e an echo of
■what Mr. Morgan st^Jd to his friend three
thousand miles away onlv a few weeics
before his death.
A Monition Justified
Only a few days ago /ice President Tal
bert of the National City bank spoke to
the Bankers’ club at Detroit and his words
of monition were so carefully heeded that
Detroit bankers sent private communica
tions to their frier.ds in New York i*i
which they told of he profound impres
sion Mr. Talbert’s address had made. He
intimated that the present is a good time
to prepare for emergencies. He set forth
briefly the reason why it seemed to him
that the present is no time to attempt to
finance very large lines of securities or to
Initiate great undertakings. There was
n clear intimation that undarwriting syn
dicates would do v.i 'l if they would refuse
their aid in the marketing • »f large blocks
of securities. Mr. Talbert’s view was that
the world’s working capital at tills time
needs replenishment, since it is not large
enough to meet the demands of nations
and of corporations that seek great funds.
Sooner probably than Mr. Talbert ?x
pected, there came a justification of his
monitions. One ! n> l»een furnished :>y
New York stai". The Empire State, the
possessor of stupendous resources, is com
pelled to go into the market and barter ns
it has never done, at least since war
days, so that it may obtain as small an
amount for the state as 127.0(Xi,000. The
Btate Is going to offer its short time notes
lor discount or for rale at auction. It is
compelled to offer ns much as 4% per cent
interest and possibly 5 per cent must be
offered If the money is to be found for
these note*1.
This Is extraordinary, almost unprece
dented, in financing. Yet ii perfectly re
flects world wide financial conditions.
Patient inquiry has demonstrated that the
state of New York cannot at this time sell
a bond bearing 4 per cent interest and
with a life of 50 years at par. The stare
cannot under the law sell its obligations
at less than par Therefore in order to
tempt monev from those who are able to
Invest the state must offer as much as 4’2
per cent an l may be compelled to agree to
f> per cent. There could not be a better
demonstration that Mr. Talbert’s moni
tions were well founded than this action
soon to be taken by New’ lork state.
In Other Markets
From Europe there has come within a
few days’after this Detroit address visible
demonstration of the conditions which jus
tified Mr. Talbert in speaking as he did.
The financial ma-kets of the world are
always cloaked with securities which have
been put out by nations, by railroad com
panies and by corporations with intent to
secure new lapltal. Only a few ('ays ago
there was a note of glee that the new
Chinese loan of Jia6.00o.000 should have
been oversubscribed. But this very over
subscription was of Itself characteristic
of disturbed financial conditions and the
marketing of the loan seems to have ag
gravated th financial pressure. China
could not have obtained funds upon this
security unless ;t had been willing to
Shave only 85 cents on the dollar and also
have been willing to pay 5 per cent inter
est. That was 'he bait whlcn tempted
those who had money to Invest.
Reliable Information from London and
from the continent of Europe tells of the
placing on the money markets since Jan
uary 1 of nearly SI,000.000.000 worth of new
securities, about if) per cent of which w*ie
issued in London. Some of the underwrit
ing s\ ndlcates it is now thought here,
would have done well If they had taken
heed of conditions which were so palpa
