watchful care for the safety and
prosperity of our interests and
industries on this continent, and

commend an American canal, on
American soil, to the American
people.
This declaration, made thirty
five years ago, by President
Grant, was the keynote of all our
Isthmian Canal campaign. The
out come was the Canal act of
1902, under which "an American
Canal, on American soil, under
American control, " is to be con

Salmon Bank Failureat Cllntor

One OF the most disastrous
failures that ever occurred
in southwest Missouri was that
of Salmon & Salmon of Clinton
over in Henry Co. For years the
bank was considered a financial
Gibralter and the confidence in
its stability was unbounded.
One member of the ilrm was a
leading democratic politician of
state wide reputation, an eX-
treasurer of the state and a much
talked Of candidate from time
to time on the ticket of his par
ty for other important Offices
even that of Governor. The
cashier of the bank, Thos. NJ.
Casey is said to admit forgeries
to the extent of 200 and
of course he will bear about all of
the blame for the disaster.
There have been rumors of mob
violence but of this there is no
danger, as there seems to be
more sympathy for Casey than
for the SalmonS. Casey seems
to have sacrificed himself to pay
off the debts of his dead father.
When the bank failed it owed
S6S4,0O0 to its depositOrs and had
but little over $1,000 on hand.
The state bank examiner, r. N.
Cook says the bank will pro.
badly pay 50 per cent to its de.
positors, others think if they get
20 per cent they will be doing
well.
Already there is a legal battle
being waged to secure the man.
agement of the bank assets.
Judge Denton has appointed
John. b. Egger, of Appleton City
receiver, but this don't suit som,
of the high-cockolorums and they
have fled a petition to put th,
concern in bankruptcy which
will take il into United State,
court jurisdiction, cost five time,
as much for the added dignity
and pay the depositors less.

Circuit Judge Denton is put
ting in some good ticks saving
expenses for the tax payers of
the county. For instance. The
Sheriff's bill for boarding prison
ers for the month of April, 1904,
was S135.00, and for the month
of April, 1908, the sheriff's bill
for the same purpose was less
than $500. So much for having
a circuit Judge that looks sharp.
ly after bills presented to the
court for allowance. Another
commentator for Judge Dentor
is his promptness in court pro
ceedings. It is all right to allow
all the leeway the law provides
for, but dilatory practices, tina
delay court proceedings and adds
unnecessary costs to litigations
should not be tolerated.

always believed that Senator

the Congressional Committee to

pie who sent the delegates to the
conventions that appointed them.
They may make mistakes, so may
county organizations, for all men
are fallible. The TRIBUNE don't
see any ghosts or hobgoblins in
the Republican political park any
where. They are all over in the
democratic grave yard and We
often think some of u repub-
lican friends are frightened into
tantrums at sight of them. They
get so close to the democratic
cemetery that they imagine that
every person that don't think as
they do is up to some democratic
trick and at once fall into the

BEREA COLLEGE FINED.
Law Against Co Education OF the
Races May be Tested in the SUI
preme Court.
lRy the Associated Press

Richmond. Ky, Feb. 21.-Bcrea
College was today fined $1,000 in the
state Circuit Court for violation OF
the Day Act. This is the law passed
by the General Assembly of Kentucky
at its last session prohibiting the CO.
education Of the white and colored
races. While the law is general in
form it was aimed directly at Berea
College which has for fifty years con-
Quoted n school and college for the
education OF all youths of good moral
character.
When the law was passed the coll
lege authorities at once declared their
intention TO abide by it's provisions
pending q decision as to its constitu-
tionality. In order to raise the ques-
ton Ii technical violation of the act
was committed and on such violation
by consent the college as corpora
ton was indicted.
The college demurred to the indict-
ment and the question of constitutions
alitv was thus raised Briefs were
filed by both sides and today Judge
Benton overruled the demurrer and
held the law constitutional. Tho con-
viction and fine followed as the college
made no defense as to the facts. The
ease will go at once TO the Court or
Appeals of Kentucky, and should that
court uphold the decision rendered to-
day and declare the law constitutional,
the case will be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
