Washington by the United States
army authorities. to be instructed in
photography and finger-print identi-

be taken in the future. Hereafter
there will be at each army post a
man equipped with all the necessary
knowledge and appliances for taking
photographs and for making and pre-
serving hnger-prints as a means Of

APPEALING TO FIRST VOTERS.

In the coming fall elections many
thousands of young men will cast
their first vote. 1t will be an inter
esting experience. They will think
about ii and talk about it great deal
before election day rolls around. I'll
only they would all realize to the full
lest the responsibility that accompa-
MES the exercise of the right of suf-
frage, what blessing it would be to
the country. Some of them will be
heedful, and others will be less heed
full, but all should take some consid-
Grafton of the gravity of casting the
ballot. That responsibility of the
right of suffrage means that every
man who drops ballot in the box
takes upon himself share of respon-
sibility for the results of the election.
1t is only small share, to be sure
but the point is that every mans
share is just as large as anothers. If
disaster to the country ensaes, every
man who voted to bring it about
must bear his share of responsibility
for the distress he has brought upon
| his neighbor as well as upon himself.
The first voters will be eagerly
sought by the politicians, and es-
Ipecially by the demagogues. The
first voter is looked upon by the
demagogue as bis natural prey, on
the ground that the young man is
enthusiastic, optimistic and eager,
and the special pleading of the dem
agogue is supposed. to be peculiarly
suited to the sanguine disposition of
youth. But in this instance memory
ought to furnish guide and safe
guard to the first voter, and enable
him to profit by experience. Let's
see. When hard times were sue
ceeded by the prosperity that set in,
when the Republicans came into
power, this first voter was 10 years
old. That was an age sufficient to
enable him to appreciate a hungry
stomach and to listen to the talk of
his elders about the cause of the
widespread depression. Year by
year he has seen the country get
more prosperous. He has in fact
grown up with the country and has
no doubt felt from year to year the
changing conditions. He also must
have noticed that during all that
time Republicans have controlled
Congress and have made and en-
forced the laws under which this
great material benefit has accrued.
Why, then, with the experience of
Democratic hard times in his mind
and the contrast of Republican good
times ever before him, should the
first voter weld to the demand for
change?

RAYNHR-HIsnouTH OPEN AGAIN.


Yom Kippur over, the Isralite
Senator Of this State again gives vent
to bis gift Of CAB. He knows it all,
in common parlance, and the nation
is going to ruin. He is never so hap
py as when traducing the good name
Of somebody, or when belittling some
party. lie watches, and when the
opportunity does not present itself to
amuse credulous audience with the
music ~ of fluent voice, tempered
with the enchanting (?) nasal twang
Of an over-grown nose, he presumes
upon the generosity of forbearing
press to vent his puerile ideas on
state craft.
Just now the subject of his pa
triotie ~ concern is the trouble with
Cuba. Cuba, itself, is really not much
disturbing his soul, the traditions Of
the Republican party are not sanity
enough to win his admiration, even
though the nation is greater today
than ever it was, under its policies,
well directed by patriotic hands, and
the President comes in for a dig of
his merciless indignation.
The fact has become apparent,
upon fair and unbiased investigation
that the recent elections in Cuba
have been unfair, so unfair, that
portion of its citizenship rebelled
against the further administration of
the government of that Republic by
the beneficiaries of the said elections.
The Secretary of War has dubbed
the said elections as having been
''yoHeR." The irascible Hebrew SEN
ator, in his recent volatile explosion,
takes this criticism as a text from
which to lampool the Republican
party of this country, and charges
that the elections whereby the latter
has been kept in power were also
'yotten."
Of course no one with knowledge
of the source from which this accu-
sation comes, pays any attention to
such twaddle, but to a disinterested
thinker it suggests itself that the
charge comes with i'll grace from
would-be distinguished parsonage
whose claim to importance and fame
as a figure in national politics scents
somewhat of the same odor now SO
offensive to his sensitive ideas of
high-minded ahd pure politics.
The history of the Junior Senator's
rise in politics in this State is known.
1t has been campaign no doubt of
angelic purity (?); the fertility of
well organized brain conceived in
the purity of lofty inspirations, tenn
pered with ingenuity and marvellous
sagacity, but with all this it would be
interesting reading matter if Mr.
Rayner, while charmingly telling of
the 'yokteRRess" of the elections that
nave kept the Republican party in
power in this country, would tell of
low it was he called to his aid the
Import of Rasin, a portion of a
,uesdo Independent press and many
'ther influences of lesser importance,

WHY A
NATIONAL BANK
IS BEST:
IS BEST

1. A NATIONAL BANK is under the
supervision of the United States Gov
eminent.
2. LAWS governing National Banks
are very strict.
8. NATIONAL BANKS are required
to submit to the Government and publish
in their home paper an exact statement
Of their business five times year.
4. NATIONAL RANKS are examined
twice year by experts from the United
States Treasury.
5. THEIR STOCKHOLDERS are held
responsible in double the amount of
their stock, thus giving undoubted Sc
curity to the depositors.
FIVE DOLLARS will open an ae-
count with us.
SMALL ACCOUNTS are especially
solicited.
