Not so many years ago bank advertising, as we know it today, was practiced by comparatively few financial institutions. Even now most of it Is confined to stressing figures and emphasizing the financial strength of the banks. Banking service, in which the general public Is interested, ofttlmes takes second place.

Our own local financial institutions have and are today doing some very good advertising, and have probably progressed further than most similar enterprises elsewhere within the past five years. The Wilmington Savings Fund Society is pioneering along new lines in this connection. Some weeks ago the Society stressed the point that when the institution was founded in 1832 pessimists claimed the country was "going to the dogs." The financial structure of the whole nation was in peril. That was in the reign of Andrew Jackson. What happened, however, is history.

The most recent announcement of the Savings Fund Society deals with the personality of Willard Hall, one of the organizers of the institution, and Its first presi-oent. Mr. Hall was not merely an outstanding citizen of this city and State but of the nation, whose devotion to the welfare of Wilmington and faith in its future might well be an example for is to heed in this year of 1932. This all marks a new path in the advertising of a financial institution. It appeals to the best impulses of citizenship, as exemplified by those who have gone before us.

and brings us face to face- with the realization that in building for the future one must have vision and faith. And somehow or other we are left with the thought that these same Impulses must continue to apply, whether one is building financial institution or a city, State or nation and that today, as in years gone by, we must have vision and faith.

He had a Job for a while and tf)cn practiced law. Meanwhile, Secretary of State John Sherman had installed his son-in-law as editor of Statutes at Large. Before very long it became evident that the editorship didn't exactly stack up as a political plum. The whole business of preparing and publishing the new volumes of Statutes at Large as the close of each Congress got into a mess.

Mr. Brvan became secretary to Senator Bayard in 1877 and.

in 1830, when clerk to the Senate Finance Committee, he attended the Democratic convention at Cincinnati as Mr. Bayard's personal representative, where the Delaware Senator, as a candidate for the Presidency, came within half a dozen or so votes cf tying General Hancock, to whom the nomination fell on a later ballot. Again Mr. Bryan was the personal representative of Senator Bayard at Chicago when President Cleveland was nominated and who after his election named the Delaware Senator as Secretary of State. Through the civil service avenue he entered the State Department, a connection that was unbroken except by the election of a Republican President, until his recent retirement, a year or two r.po, Mr.

Bayard going to London as the first American diplomat carrying the Ambassadorial rank and title. His activities as private secretary to Mr. Bayard brought him into intimate contact, with all the men prominent in public life at that period and he was known and esteemed by the national leaders of both political parties. A compartively recent article, published in "The Fossil," a publication ot owners of their own newspapers, recording Mr. Bryan's activities, said in part: "Henry L.

Bryan, the editor of Statutes at Large, is ill at the age of 78. The State Department, repository of all Federal laws, may have to get a new editor, and that will not be easy at all. "Bryan comes nearer to being indispensable the government service than almost any more highly placed and widely known official. He survived the old spoils system days because every time he was fired out as editor of Statutes at Large he had to be bi ought back sooner or later because it was hard to replace him. "He stepped into the editorship in 1E86.

in effect. Federal law itself the official law of the Lmd compiled for reference or consultation. "Bryan was a Democrat, however, so the Republicans fired him after Benjamin Harrison's election in 1838. But after Cleveland's second inaugu-rLticn in 1893 he was brought back to the editorship again, and he came eagerly, because he had come to be very fond of that job. the Federal law.

Such respect for a white-haired old gent of 78 isn't found istration has plunged it," the Democrats of Maryland, at a convention in Baltimore yesterday, definitely placed their governor, Albert C. Ritchie, before the country as a candidate for the presidential nomination. The delegation chosen to attend the national convention, to be held in Chicago next month, was instructed to support Governor Ritchie for the nomination. Tliis action may be looked upon by the rest of the country as a 'favorite son move." It is more than that. So far as is known, there has been no active campaign in behalf of the Maryland executive outside of his own state, but his friends are prepared for any strategic move, should opportunity arise, that might further his chances of being placed at the head of the national ticket.

And it is not unlikely that such an opportunity may arise. Governor Ritchie has much to commend him to the country. He is now serving his fourth term as head of the government of Maryland, which fact of itself is high indorsement of his ability in the management of public affairs. Covering these four terms as governor, as well at in other phases of public service, he has many accomplishments to his credit, such as the promotion cf efficiency and lowering of expenses in state government. In his public utterances Governor Ritchie has te-vealed a comprehensive grasp and intelligent understanding of national affairs He has established his right to a place among the outstanding candidates for the highest office in the gift cf the American people.

Charles A. Lindbergh because cl the sad nevs that their baby is dead. There is. of course, some compensation in the knowledge that the I mite cf humanity is longer in the clutches ci the fiendish kidnappers who stole him from his crib than two months ago. Our sorrow is tempered by the knowledge that the.

little fellow's sufferings, and agony at being separated front the only dear ones he knew, are at an end that he is at rest. Really, the evidence just developed indicates that he was put to ceath seen after he was stolen, and that his suffering as not cf long duration. It never will be known what a trying ordeal this taby passed through: how he must have suffered from Irish ar.d perhaps from neglect, and maltreatment, but is no: difficult to appreciate the agony that was experienced by the distracted parents. We may hop? that, now that the suspense is at an end, the sorrowing father tnd mother will continue to show the fortitude that has characterized both ever since their loved one was stolen from them. However, the finding of the baby's body is not the end cf this tragic episode.

The kidnappers must be hunted with every means available and every bit of energy that the authorities can command. The reason for temporizing with these child stealers no longer exists. The sole object now is to hunt them down and mete out to them the severest punishment permissible under the lews of New Jersey. The deck has been cleared for Now let every person in the police service throughout the land understand that he is a factor in the legal machinery that must find these outlaws that they may be made to a tone for their crime. During the weeks that there seemed to be hope th.t the baby might be restored alive the uppermost thought in the public mind was to do nothing that might frustrate this result.

There seemed a possibility that the kidnappers might have a spark cf humane instinct and perhaps some regard for the feelings of their hostage and his parents. New know that this was an unwarranted assumption. Ar.d so America must make an example of these fends in human form. It must net rest until this is tinuanee. advisability 'f rich a move.

(Continued on page 9 FLOWER GARDENS FOR SCHOOLS. It 13 a highly praiseworthy undertaking on the part ol teachers and pupils of Stanton public school to plant adjacent grounds with flowers and shrubbery. There usually is no less attractive spot in modern towns than the terrain surrounding public schools, whereas it might be the prettiest.

Teachers could have a flower garden in the yard without much expense and with little effort. It would show children the beautiful creations of nature that spring out of the ground and lend foliage and flowers to the attractiveness the school and indeed of the town. A community could scarcely offer a stronger token of civic pride than by transforming the usually unattractive grounds into a pretty landscape which would stimulate students to a greater love for beautiful things and doubtless make the schools more attractive to girls and boys who are not always obedient to the rules of study, conduct and attendance. Flower-framed school houses would give towns and villages a and brighter aspect.

Some of the most fascinating chapters of American political and commercial history have gone into the making cf the story. The Pacific Northwest even today is thought of by many Easterners as representing the last frontier.

WORLD COURT SETBACK. Although the Foreign Relations Committee cf the tenate jesterday afternoon reported favorably the protocol paving the way for American adherence to the World Court, there vas a condition attached which obviously gives comfort to the opponents of adherence. This is requirement that before America consent becomes effective each of the other signatories to the protocol must formally accept the Senate's proviso that advisory opinions affecting the United States be banned unless the consent of this government is first obtained. This action, apparently, meant a delay the duration Cl which -cannot be guessed. It may be a year or two before some of the signatory nations can even consider the matter.

Then there may be some that will seek further enlightenment as to details before they will be willing to commit themselves So, if the Senate should support the committee, it is likely to several years before the round room thus started can be completed, if it is completed at all. This is a disappointing outcome of the long fight for American adherence to the World Court. Nor is. it understandable. Apparently the minority of the Foreign Relations Comcmittce are tiie real victors in tliis preliminary skirmish.

But the end is not yet. The Senate is seid to be regarded as favorable to the protocol, without this new condition tacked on by the committee. At lets', a pitiiminary poll is said to have indicated that this is the attitude of the majority of the Senators. Eventually, if this is a fact, may be a revision of tr.e protocol so as to get it back to its original shape, although it is doubtful that the matter ill be disposed of at this session. The protocol in its original form is held by competent authorities to fully safeguard the interests oi the United States, and to be tatisfactory to the other nations in the court and we can see no need or justification for the new condition It i- sought to impje.
