A Bank Opening in Kansas.
New York SUM-


They opened a bank the other day at
Burns, a village in Butler county, Kan,
where there had been no bank before.
1t is perhaps noteworthy that they wait
I'd until the election was over before they
started the enterprise. The newspaper
reports say that farmers, stockmen and
others fastened into town with "money
in tin cans, stockings, boxes and purses
to put their savings in a place Of safety,
and that on che first day more than 500,
600 was deposited. Poor bleeding Kan
sas! And 10 think of the downtrodden
farmers being compelled to leave their
money with that agency of modern OPP
preston, a bank! To add to the woe of
the occasion Bank Commissioner John
w. B~riedenthal says that this occurrence,
remarkable in the history of a Kansas
bank, shows both the prosperous condi-
ton of the farmers and the confidence
that McKiniey's reelection bias created,
John w. B~reidenthal was the recent
Bryanite candidate Tor governor of Kan
sas. he ran several thousand votes
ahead OF his ticket, but he was defeated
What Breidenihal was doing on that
ticket anywa, is something of Il mystery.
Three years ago he began to shout pros
perity la Kansas from the houseiops, and
the WHEAT AID corn fields all over the
state nodded approval. During the poll
teal c%ampaign he trained with the Gala
nifty crowd. Now that the election is
aver, his hands are up to his lips again
and with truth in his words he is shout
ing prosperity once more. And McKin-
ley prosperity at that!

ed to be a criminal proceeding In the re-
