by even tile most expert Of oarsmen.
Naturally they upset at almost the first

but regained their boat which swept
downward with the current Presently
they were tipped out again and lost the
other oar However. for the second
time they regalned the boat and went
drifting helpiessly through the water
covered town.
At last they were swept across Kan

business and manufacturing industries
in their own communities. The prin-
cipIes of safe banking are so clearly
set forth in any authoritative work on
that subject that the way would be SO
plain that fool might walk in it. 1t
is when it comes to issuing promises
to pay that are endowed by law with
the functions OF money that trouble
begins. The bankers are all anxious
for such privilege because, and only
because, there is money in it for them.
On that subject there is nc authorita-
tive work and there never will be. 1t
is a government function, and when
a bank is delegated authority to ex-
ercise the sovereign power that be-
longs to the state, while there may be
money in it, there is a lot of trouble
also. The power to issue notes to be
used as money, is a weakness to any
bank and all the laws that can be
passed will never make it anything
else.
There we're few bankers present
who had no sympathy with the ideas
that were exploited at such great
length. They run safe and sound
banks. They are sensible men. When
the wrecks, which the coming disas-
ters will strew the country, are cleared
away, they. will be found at the old
stand still doing business.

SULLIVAN AND BARNES

The Pender Republican says that
Judge Sullivan is the same partisan
that he ever was. Democrats and
populists will vote for him as SUCH"
It seems to The Independent that that
statement is tumble of contradic-
tions. If Judge Sullivan is demo-
crat, how comes it that populists will
vote for him as partisan? If pop
ulists wanted to vote for partisan
they would necessarily be forced to
vote for some populist for supreme
Judge. The truth is that populists will
vote for Judge Sullivan, not on account
of partisanship, but because he has
been a just judge and they believe he
will continue to be just judge. They
believe that in all cases coming be-
fore him that he will earnestly strive
to do exact justice between the par
ties to the suit. They believe that
Judge Barnes could not do that even
IL he tried, because Barnes has been
a paid attorney of a railroad for fif-
teen years, fighting the railroad bat
ties during all that time. He has so
often told the courts that the railroads
must be protected from the ayarice,

injustice and prejudices OF the farm
ers, that he actually believes that that
is the chief mission of Judge. It is
utterly impossible for man to spend
the flower of his life fighting for cor
porate interests and then all of a sud-
den throw off all the Impressions and
prejudices acquired in that long SER
vice and be an impartial judge between
the warmer and the railroad. 1t is not
IN human nature to do that sort of a
thing. What Judge Sullivan's politics
are, matters not. That is not the oues-
ton in this campaign. The question is:
VIII he be fair, honest and Impair
tlal judge in the suits that will be
brought before him where the great
interests of the producer clash with
those OF the railroad corporations?
Evidently the railroads think he will.
for they are using every means in
their power to defeat him. Thousands
Of populists, democrats and repubIi-
cans think he will, and they will do
their best to elec. him.

1t seems that wherever the republic

public expenditures have been enor-

Mr.. Bliss Perry protests against the
amount of space given in the maga
zines to the subject of war and de-
clares that it fosters the war spirit.
Does not that criticism apply with
greater force to the dailies? Not only
do they give great space to war, but
news. Does that not foster vice and
crime?
The Bee still keeps up it's squibs
about Judge Barnes being appointed a
commissioner Of the supreme court as
Ii he were the only one SO appointed.
The fact is, all of the nine commits
sioners are required by the state Gre
ating the positions to be appointed by
the unanimous vote of the three
judges. Of all the silly things ever
tried in politics, this continued asser-
tion is the silliest.
