No ' one more .. than v The Observer ; has .shown sympathetic appreciation nf h difficult Imi under' which banks - have labored during- recent months. When the financial crisis was coming on, and so long- as It lasted, we ear neatly bespoke a friendly and tolerant attitude toward ' those banks which, felt constrained In some eases mors On account of general cotnmunltr ta ' terests than their own, to adot extra- r1l As nr mtiinui That Arl&la. tint- ever, fcas clearly passed, and banks continuing to limit withdrawals or to pay out "scrip" Justly Incur sever criticism. They are dally committing acts of Insolvency after the conditions which, made such acts excusable no longer exist, persisting; in, their ourse for ao other apparent reason than that unnerved Treasury officials State authorities end a too-Indulgent public permit them to do so with Impunity. Every bank conducting itself in this manner Is unquestionably in a state of partial ' sunpeaslon and Invites re oelvershlp proceedflis.

The matter in last Sunday's Observer was nearly all , by North Carolina writers, was clean and of a high order of merit Nobody was expected to read all of it but there was eomethipgln the paper for - everybody. The sug gestion that nobody read It U a be trayal of Ignorance from a source from which that quality may always be confidently expected. . That paper was not a money-maker and,' was not expected ,to bo, It having been laid out on aa enormously expensive plan. but was Intended as an advertise ment for The Observer, for Charlotte and for North, Carolina, It was cir culated in many States and seen toy many people and those who saw it could not but . think that there.

The previous sto ries of revenue raids in that commu nity have been of fascinating Interest and, the whole history of the efforts to capture' those biackaders and de stroy their business, with the some time arrests and mora frequent es capes, reads like chapters out . of a book.
