Safety, at best, is relative only; there is no absolute safety
for the twenty-dollar piece a man has in his pocket, whether he
is on the street, at his office, or by his own fireside. We are
reminded that "riches take to themselves wings" and that
"thieves break through and steal." No savings bank can keep
money on hand or deposit it or loan it with absolute safety. All
is comparative. It is a peculiarity of money that each dollar
requires watching; general supervision is insufficient; hence it
is that the safety of moneyed institutions depends upon the
capacity and honesty of those in control, and not upon adherence
to arbitrary rules. No set of rules can be adopted that will
bind dishonest men nor that will compensate for want of
experience and ability of honest ones.
