The Index received the following
special on Monday:
New York, March 20.
The California Democratic committee
has unanimously adopted resolution
declaring it to be the sense of the COM
mittee that the Democratic national
delegation should be instructed for
William Randolph Hearst. Elk Senator
r. F. Pettigrew, just returned from an
extended western trip, says Hearst will
90 into the convention city with at
least 800 delegates. M. S. IsHMEN.
It IS to be hoped that favorable news
like this will keep coming. What ought
to convince everybody that Mr.. Hearst
is the kind of a man the people need, is
the fact that every republican Eewspa-
per and every subsidized metropolitan
publication is abusing him. This, to-
gether with his magnificent record
ought to endear him to ever producer,
every laboring man and every business
man in America.
His nomination and election would be
the best fortune that could be visited
upon the people Of the whole United
States.

THE PEOPLES STATE BANK,
New Bank Corporation has Been
Organized in Medicine Lodge.

For several years there has been talk
of new bank in Medicine Lodge and
last Wednesday it became a reality
when F. 3. Chaplin, eX county treasur-
or, gave It out that the new institution
had been organized. Mr.. Chaplin is to
be president of the bank and Walter
Cushenbery will be cashier. a list of
the stockholders is not yet ready for
publicity. Dr.. j. Il. Cu8henbery, Peter
Hoover, Luke Chaplin and j n. Tlnch-
er were among the first wEo subscribed
stock.
The institution will be known as
"The Peoples State Bank" The capI
tai stock will be $4,000. The bank
will be located in the burst brick build
ing on the west side of Main street, va
Gated last week by Ed. Grandstaff
The building is now being remodeled
and fitted up in the interior. 1t is the
intention to be ready for business with
in a month.
Eyer since the Citizens State Bank
had a clear field here there has been an
effort on the part of some people to get
in another bank. Several movements
failed but Mr.. Chaplin and his friends
concluded, after considering the mat
ter for a long time, that there was room
in Medicine Lodge for another bank
and tackled the proposition. Mr..
Chapin himself is not personally an
tagonistic TO the Citizens State Bank
but some of these associated with him
are, and after the new institution gets
in good running order there will proba
bly, De something doing, for banks, like
newspapers and lawyers, sometimes
get into a dignifed fGnt.
The Citizens State Bank Is a mighty
solid institution. 1t has done business
here long time and stayed with the
country during the dark days when
others got scared and pulled up stakes
and got out, and while it has some foes
it also has its friends.
The Index anticipates spirited COM
petition in the banking business in
Medicine Lodge during the ensuing
year.

Probably nothing that has happened
In city affairs in recent years has Great.
ed SO much street talk as the recent cru.
sade against the joints and liquor sellers
in general. The warmest sympathizers
of the venders were much astonished
at some of the names which appeared
under the reward offer when first
published last week and they fear It is
a signal Of change of sentiment. Be
that as it may. There is a certain
element which has brought on the
agitation. There is no denying the
fact that the traffic has been carried on
to such rank extent that many who
have never been identified with the
temperance movement have been
moved to condemn certain resorts
as q common nuisance, and the un.
expected support that the city admin.
istratlon and temperance promoters
have received is directly traceable to
well known outrages which have been
carried on. The Index believes that
if these things are permitted TO he
carried on they should at least be re-
stricted by license or fines, but it Is far
better to abolish altogether than to
throw down the bars and let them run
unrestricted.
