business interests are necessary to the
banker, and whatever disturbs the one
binders the other. In campaign times.
institutions are very often spoken of as
being hostile to the well-being Of the
public; that they are exactins and ty-
rannical and that they make times good
or bad as shall be most advantageous
to them. But the people are coming to
understand the relation that exists be-
tween a bank and the community in
which it is located, and less harm comes
of such attacks from campaign to cam
paign.
A bank, whether 1t be a bank of note
issue or not can exert no more influence
upon trade interchange than those who
conduct the interchanges are willing to
permit it to exert. The fact is, the bank
does business on the peoples money and
not on its own. The rule Is that a bank
should have deposits aggregating not
less than five times it's capital and that
10 per cent of the deposits is ordinarily
loanable money But in employing de-
posits on loans or discounts the bank
can take but few moral risks, for it is
not it's own funds that it is loaning. 1t
is the trusted safe deposit, so to speak,
of the depositor: besides, the depositor
has the right to expect his money will
be turned over to him on demand, and
that in addition thereto the bank will
advance him funds to the full require
ment of his business. Thus the relation
between bank and business is not only
necessarily intimate but reciprocal.
Very often banks are complained of
for refusing to discount commercial pa
per as freely as borrowers would have
them. but those who condemn forget that
it is not the banks own money that is
asked for, but the surplus or unemployed
money of the whole community. which is
placed in bank for safety and convent
ence. AS the trusted agent for the money
of the community, the bank is bound to
consider the best good of the community.
WHICH IL might not De OOlnS were II TO
conduct itself as mere lender of money
If Mr. A. deposits sum Of money in a
bank it is the right of the bank to en-
ploy it for its own good but A. not only
reserves the right to have his deposit
paid back to him on demand, but he has
the right to expect that the bank will not
weaken its ability to pay it back when
asked for. AS we have said, experience
teaches that when business in the COM
munity is moving along without excite
ment the bank may feel safe to employ
10 per cent of its depositors' money, but
if it refuses to discount paper, the pre-
sumption is that it believes it to be
necessary to refuse-having in mind the
utmost possible safety of it's depositors'
money and the best interests of the COM
munity. Generally speaking, it is not
the bank that is the tyrant. 1t is the peo-
pie, spectators in money and those who
are not deserving of bank accommoda-
tions who are the tyrants in the world of
money employment

A DAMAGING DEFENSE

However reprehensible the conduct of
; the Democrats who bolted the Chicago
convention may have been, and how
ever undemocratic and revolutionary
the holding of the Indianapolis conven-
ton was, and however public sentiment
may criticise such betrayal of the party
into the hands of the enemy, there was
nothing in any of the acts leading up
to the nomination of Palmer and Buck
ner. nor in any utterance of any gold
standard Democrat during the cam
paign so diabolical in conception or afro
cious in execution as to warrant the Los
Angeles Times in trying to damn them
now and forever by defending their
course. The Herald condemned the
course of the Palmerites because it be-
lieved, it knew. in fact, that their course
was at variance with Democratic usa-
ges, traditions and principles, but how
ever condemnable their conduct has
been we deny with all the vigor and We
have done nothing that should subject
them to the humiliation and disgrace of
an apology for their conduct by the Los
Angeles Times.
The spirit of true Democracy is striv-
ing and will continue to strive with the
Palmertes. They are not bad men, but
,ico do5
course they are human, and there is a
limit to their endurance of the shame
and humiliation which the sober second
thought always crowds upon a Demo-
crat when he finds that he has wandered
away from the home of his fathers, and
hence the danger that the Times loud
mouthed and unsolicited defense of
them may so disgust and lower them in
their own estimation that they will
drift beyond the point where the spirit
of Democracy ceases to strive with man.
AS to General Palmer his case is par.
ticularly distressing. His conversion

and he has taken it over to the enemy
1t looks like bad case of Ephraim
joined, reJoined rather, to his idols.
But why should the Times venomous
hatred Of Democracy prompt it to try
to blacken the good name of gold Dem
ocrats by volunteering an apology for
their political conduct, when they made
the election of it's presidential candidate
possible? 1t is an old and very true
saying that the blacklist and most damn
able feature of the human heart is in
gratitude. Had the Times assaiIed the
character, purpose and object of the
Palmerites, and charged them with be-
ing spies and sneaks and pickpockets,
and declared that they were in the Re-
publican camp for personal gain, it
would have done them some service in
the eyes of the world. But that was not
what it had in mind. It certainly is un-
fortunate that the gold standard DEM
ocrats should have gotten themselves
50 hated by the Times as to incite it to
defend them for quitting their party,
and to praise them for their manlines

isn't it a little singular that the fire

can't be hot and cold at the same time,

it is generally cold when it is not coaled.

THE WAY 1T STANDS

A luncheon was given to Mr.. Hanna in
New York the other day by some thirty
we'll known financiers. The purpose of
the gathering was to give the bankers
of New York an opportunity to congrat-
ulate the guest of the evening upon his
brilliant conduct of the campaign which
culminatedcin the election of Major Nc
Kinley The burden of the speeches was
the money question, and the future OF
the country upon the gold basis. Refer
ence was made to the patriotic stand
against silver coinage by the better
element" and something was said about
capital and labor and the upbuilding OF
American industries upon lines which
ton of the gold standard before the
country, and thus remove all doubt as 10
the eternal death of the free silver cause
in the United States.
The election is over, and the friends
of silver were quite willing to accept the
verdict. although every intelligent per-
son knows that the methods employed
by the gold standard advocates could not
be analysed without compromising the
supposed integrity and high moral char
acter of not few shining lights in the
Republican party. But so long as the
victors are pleased to refer to those who
supported Mr.. Bryan as "conspirators
against the honor and credit of the ma
tion," they may be assured that they
will have things revealed to the world
which might better be concealed. The
"better element" referred to as having
saved the country does not include those
who by their skill. muscle and in
dustry produce the wealth of the nation.
It is not so long since the campaign was
on that one need to have forgotten who
It was that composed the better ele-
ment" For instance, it will be remem-
bered that every industrial trust, every
syndicate, railway monopoly and idler
who lives upon an income from invest
ments supported Major Mckinley. 1t
will be remembered. too. that Protestant
and Catholic dignitaries marched arm
in arm to the tune of Wall streets music,
and that nearly all the great metropol-
itan newspapers declared aginst the
money of the people, leving only the
common people to battle for the cause
Of right, liberty and justice-and they
were defeated.
The Democratic party is very willing
to turn all there was Of the last campaign
TO the wall, except its principles, and do
all 1t can to help the new administration
build up the waste places of the cour-
try. 1t is not necessary or wise to hold
the issues of the campaign as being par
amount to everything else just now. But
IN due season the battle for the money
Of the constitution will be renewed, and
with such vigor and determination that
nothing will be able to withstand It's at
tack upon the works of the plutocrats.

THE HEROIC AGE

He speaks not well who doth his time de-

Ignoble, and unfit for lofty deeds.

Who made old days immortal! So shall
men,
Far-gazing back to this receding hour,
Say: Then the time when men were
truly men:
Though wars grew less, their spirits met

OF new conditions: conquering civic wrong
Saving the state anew by virtuous lives;
Defying leagued fraud with single truth.
Not fearing loss, and daring to be pure.
When error through the land ragged like
a pest,
They Gained the madness caught from
mind to mind.
BY wisdom drawn from eld and counsel

And as the martyrs of the ancient world
Gave Death for man, so nobly gave they
Life:
Those the great days. and that the heroic

WHERE WERE THE 900?

The total registration of voters in
Riverside county was 1880 But what
seems strange about the matter is that
only 1871 votes were cast on the day Of
election. Now the question naturally
arises, why did not the remaining 600
votes show up? If they really did vote,
is it possible that there could have been
600 votes cast out? 1t appears that some
thing is radically wrong somewhere

WATER AND THE PEOPLE

Water, air and sunlight are the COM
mon property of humanity, and no indi-
vidual or company has the right to con-
troll either one of them to the injury or
inconvenience of any person. All ma
tions are communistic pure and simple
in the matter of the ownership Of these
three elements of existence. No coun-
try IN the world permits one person to
deprive free person of sunlight by the
employment of artificial means, nor
does any country permit air to be ex-
cluded from the people. But while no
| one may rightfully own natural course
of it to the hurt of any person, it is true
that some municipal corporations do
farm out the right to supply the people
with water upon conditions that prac-
tically confer upon the distributor of the
water among the people full ownership
of the supply and all practicable avenues
of its distribution.
Now, a city has no more moral right to
confer such ownership than it has the
right to give control of the air the people
breath or the sunlight that makes life
possible. 1t is everywhere conceded to
be the duty of the legal authority of ev-
cry community to prevent the befouling
of the air or otherwise causing 1t to be
laden with things that superinduce dis
eases, and yet we permit few greedy
men to corner" the water supply and
all the available means of fetching 1t to
the people for their health and comforts
sake, when the air and sunlight would
avail the people nothing without water.
1t so happens that air and sunlight cir
culate and distribute themselves with
out the aid of man. hence all that is re-
quired of the people is to let them have
free course according to natural law,
but the same natural law makes it OBJ
water supply and construct artificial
means of conveying the water to points
most convenient for mans use. And it
is just as incumbent upon the people in
their collective capacity to provide these
avenues of distribution for the accom-
mediation of each individual as 1t is for
them in their collective capacity to pro-
tect the individual in his right to have
pure air and clear sunlight
The theory, therefore, that a commun-
ity has the right to make merchandise of
either the supply of water or the means
of it's distribution is a violent attack
upon law instituted by the creator of
water, air and sunlight. Water is COM
munity's property which cannot be sold,
loaned or traded away as long as single
Individual would be Inconvenience by
it then or thereafter. 1t is property
that is not controlled by the majority.
The voice of one opposing is the equal of
a million favoring. 1t is a property,
that is indivisible, even with the consent
of all the people, because II belongs to
the future as much as to the present
When the water supply of people is
made commodity to be sold to the high
est bidder, the people are robbed of their
birthright.
