GET READY To VOTE.

There is every reason to believe that
republicans will stand close to their
straight ticket when election day comes
The thing to be most feared is the stay.
at-home vote, which in ''off years" many
times causes party defeat. Every Yer
non county republican should be thor
oughly impressed with this fact. Every
party man can certainly sacrifice hall
day, if it shall require that much time,
to go to the polls and deposit his ballot
for right principles. Don't take any
chance in the thought that "there will
be enough votes without NINE" Your
vote may be the one needed to carry the
county, legislative, congressional or
state tickets.
Not in the history Of the county was
there ever more capable and acceptable
county ticket presented to the people
for their suffrage than the present re-
publican ticket.
The CENSOR urges upon republicans
the duty Of attending election. Your
Individual votes may not be necessary
to elect the local ticket, but it may be
needed for success Of some other portion

TRIBUTE TO THE FLAG AND SOLDIERS
In one of his splendid patriotic talks
during his western trip President Nc
Kinley gave vent to the following SEN
fences:
We are here to-day because we love
the old flag. 1t never went down in
defeat; it was never raised in dishonor.
1t means more at this hour than it ever
meant in all our history. It floats to-
day where it never hoated before.
"GLoRIoUs OLD BANNER, THE SAME OUR
GRANDsIREs LIFTED UP, THE SAME OUR
FATHERS BORE. In MANY BATTLES TEN
PEST IT SHED THE CRIMSON RAIN, AND
WHAT GoD HATH WOVEN IN HIS LOOM, NO
MAN CAN BI,EAK IN TWAIN.
THE war has been successful. 1t
ended in little over 100 days. Match
less victories on land and sea, our army
and navy are entitled to every honor
that a generous people can bestow.
Mstchless army and fearless navy have
dore their part, the rest remains with US.
1.-The war wac insugurated for human
ity; it must not stop until it embraces
humanity. 1t was not begun in bitter
ness, it was not commenced in malice;
it was commenced in spirit OF human
ity, for freedom and to stop oppression
in neighboring island.

NO THE PEOPLE WANT IT9

That is the query the CENSOR desires
to PROFOUND concerning the law to be
voted on next election day, November
sth, styled "Revision of the Banking
Law" We hardly think the people vii,
vote to fix such law upon themselves
when they are advised of it's real import
and cost to the tax payers.
Section ole provides for bank COM
missioner.
Section two authorizes tine bank com
missioner to appoint deputy and SUCH
NUMBER OF CLERKS AS HE MAY THINK
NECESSARY, AND fix their salaries.
The present law provides that exam
inaslon fees shall be collected from banks
each year, which fees in the aggregate
nearly pay the entire expense of the
state banking department. The pro-
posed new law provides for the abolish
ment of the examination fees paid by
banks, and the expense and salaries OF
this department would of necessity be
paid by general taxation.
Would it not be dangerous thing to
delegate to any public official the priv
lege of employing assistants without
restr amt? If the bank commissioner
was so disposed he might make the de-
partmeut very expensive one Placed
on a conservative basis, econ omically
administered, the proposed banking
department would cost the people Of
the state from $4,000 to $4,000 pei
snnum, If not more.
The national government requires the
collection of fees from banks for exam
nation, twice each year, and nearly, il
not quite all, commonwealths in the
Union where state supervision is in force
payment Of the expense by the banks
If enforced, instead of taxing the general
public for the same.
The CENSOR advises careful readiL 2
OF the proposed law, then the voter
will be better enabled to form his own
conclusions. We have simply given q
brief outline and general features Of
the same. We do not believe the people
will take kindly to the law when they
understand what it contemplates.
