Editor The Adair Co., News:
I do not know when my time
expires with your paper, but / do
not want it to stop. It is a well
come visitor in our home every
week. Sparksville was my old
home and as The News gives a
general report of the happenings
in that section, you can readily
see that it is appreciated and un-
derstand why I do not want it
discontinued. We have been liv-
ing in Texas for II years, but my
old Adair county home is fresh in
my memory all along the line of
life and l think Of the great re-
union that waits the judgment bar
of God, and who will be able to
stand. l hope we will all meet
in perfect peace with our Savior;
that we all may unite in praise
of Him, who doeth all things
right. l could tell my friends
about our home in Texas and the
money we have made, but find
more comfort in speaking about
our heavenly home where no sor-
row comes, where it is joy and
peace forever. With good wish
.es .for my old Adair county
friends, I am yours truly, =. &

Democratic Opportunity.

Mr.. Bryan has announced through the
columns Of his paper, The Commoner;
that the principal cause of the demo-
cratic. defeat this year was that the
men who secured control of the party
organization at St. Louis sounded a re-
treat when charge should have been
ordered all along the line. He insists
that conditions demand radical action,
and that the people want something
definite upon which they can rely. The
Commoner, he announces, will carry on
a campaign of education, advocating
tariff reform, the overthrow of private
monopolies, labor legislation, municipal
ownership of public utilities, public
ownership of railroads and telegraph
systems, an income tax, the election of
federal judges by the people, the cleo
ton of the United States Senators by
popular vote, direct legislation, and the
selection of postmasters by the people
whom they are to serve.
It win be necessary to regal n contro
of the party organization. To do this
the friends of reform throughout the
entire country must work together. A
democratic paper Of national scope Of
fers the best means for carrying on
this work, and the Commoner occupies
this field. The campaign of education
and organization which Mr.. Bryan an
will be>carried on through The
Commoner; will not only be interesting
and instructive. but every democrat
and Independent thinker should receive
The Commoner regularly so as to keep
in touch with the progress the reform
forces are making, and to fortify him
self with facts and arguments to con-
VINCE his republican ,neighbor that the
democratic party offers the surest re-
lief from class legislation and trust
domination.
The low rate which Mr.. Bryan has
quoted US on his paper enables us to
send you The Commoner and Adair
County News both one year for SLIGO.
Get your neighbor to join you in circu-
lating democratic literature, and the
election returns in 1908 will not call for
apologies or explanations. If

DANGER IN SMALL RESERVE.
. Gilbert A. Harrington spoke in the nag
ative, and started TO prove that the Ma
tional banks should not be absorbed by
trust companies
He said I'm the small reserve of the
trust company Is danger; the National
banks are the only banks OF issue and
are much safer than the trust compan-
les
The question OF a small cash reserve
for trust companies did not begin to at
tract notice until they did a general
banking business.
Then the sentiment began 10 grow that
there should be a proper reserve for the
trust companies. The New York Clearing
House made II obligatory on the trust
companies to maintain a certain reserve
IL they continued TO do business with the
clearing house. This resulted in the with
drawal OF many banks. although the re-
quired reserve was small.
Howard u. Allen was the last spea ker,
and he took the affirmative. saying that
absorption by the trust companies is the
trend Of the times, as the newspa pc rs
show He contrasted the standing OF the
banks and trust companies showing that
the National banks are holding their own
despite the recent absorptions.
The absorption has taken well with
the business interests. as the phenomenal
increase In trust company deposit shows.
He brought out the fact that Rhode
Islanders had difficulty I'm finding good

this is the richest state per capita in the
Union.
