WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The First
national bank of Asbury Park, N. j.,
was closed today by direction of the
comptroller of the currency. and Ma
tiOnal Bank Examiner ]. w. ScOfield
was placed in charge as receiver. The
bank ives closed because of losses
which absorbed the surplus and un-
divided profits and seriously impaired
the banks capital. The banks assets
are of such character that additional
losses, it was feared would have re-
suited, which would wipe out the re-
naming capital.

self with very brief explanation.
He said the provisions of the meas
ure were familiar to all, that it was
the passage of antitrust legislation
which should receive consideration.

protested that there was no emergency
which required such a drastic course
as the special order proposed. 1t per-
mitted no opportunity to amend or
recommit the bill. Mr.. Underwood;
Alabama said he favored the passage
Of the bill. but he protested that it
did not go lar enough.
An act was passed refunding GER

BENJAMIN Franklin once s

Benjamin Franklin once said:
"This constitution can end in
despotism, as forms have done be-
fore it, only when the people shall
become SO corrupted as to need
despotic government, being in
capable of any other" 1t may be
true that the people as a whole
have not yet become corrupted,
but their public servants have to
such an extent that our legislative
halls are a polluted mass of cor
porative servility, and our legis-
lators as whole, gang of hood
lers. This is not alone tie case in
Idaho. 1t is the general tendency
in all the states. Even the pluto
cratic newspapers of the great
financial and commercial centers
of the country are taking cog
nizance of the fact, and column
after column is being published
exposing the corrupt methods
used to enact favorable measures
in state legislatures in the inter-
ests of the trusts and combines,
while good wholesome legislation
is side-tracked and pigeon-holed.

COMING TO THE RESCUE.

COMING TO THE RE SCUE.
1t is amusing to note the efforts
now being made by the republican
press of Idaho to justify the course
pursued by the seventh legislature,
and the general terms of applause
applied to the republican house of
representatives.
Although there was ample time
during the session to discuss pend
ing questions, and express opinions
as to their merits or dement's,
the republican newspapers had no
opinions to offer, preferring to
await results and then coincide
with the republican majority what
ever that action might be.
Every pledge of economy was
broken; every pledge to repeal the
so-called unwholesome legislation
of the democracy was forgotten;
and every promise to give wise and
beneficial laws to the common
wealth was "1ost in the shuttle"
If the republican press wish to
question the truth of this let them
discuss the details of legislative
procedure and not dismiss the
topic with reference to few gilt
tering generalities, in the hope Of
convincing the public that the
seventh legislature was just as good
from all points of view as its pre-
decessors.

Reed Smoot, the Mormon /

Reed Smoot, the Mormon apos-
tie and Z. S. senator from Utah
was duly sworn in and is now act
ing with that body in its special
session. Not a Tord was said as
to his unfitnees when he appeared
to take the oath of Office. This is
travesty on the eternal fitness Of
things, ethereal, political and other
wise. Where were the church
organizations, the w. G. I. L. and
other Christian associations for the
propaganda Of his moral ideas
which so vigorously protested
when Mormon Roberts, democrat,
was elected to the house of repre-
sentatives and was unseated. But
Smoot is a republican, and an elder
in the Mormon church, in full fel.
lowship, sans polygamy, sans
everything. Verify, the cloak OF
republicanism covers a multitude
of sins.
