Another Idol Down and Out.

The true blue Bryanites have been
excessively panied by the appearance
OF James K. Jones, late chairman Of
the democratic national committee, at
Oyster Bay to plead in behalf of the
Standard Oil company for relaxation
of the severe laws passed by congress
to prevent the Rockefeller concern
from gobbling all the oil lands in
Indian Territory.
Jones was trustbuster, an incessant
advocate of violent death for all wicked
combinations in restraint of trade. He
was for the "people'' first, last and
all the time, and if he could not get
good dollars for them he showed his
good intentions by insisting that the
government hand them 5O-cent dollars.
Ffty-cent dollars look pretty big in
Arkansas. ,
Mr.. Bryan ran for president twice
under the tutelage Of Jimkjones. Then
The people put Jones ont of the SEN
ate, since when he has earned a hum
BILE living as an agent of trusts and
. lobbyist for illegal combinations in
Washington. Moreover, he stands on
the front stoop Of the White House
and announces in prophetic tones that
Bryan will be the next president.
Mr.. Bryan, has recently been giving
some instructions to members of his
party. He has notified Mr.. Sullivan
of Illinois to get out Of the ice trust
or get out Of the national committee
But has he entered into correspondence
with Jones? Has he told Jones to give
up Standard Oil or give up Bryan9 Has
he notified one Taggart to give ur
gambling or give up the national com
mittee? *
There appears to be a wide field in
both parties for men to clear up thei1
relations so as to make their private
deals square with their public pro
fessions. Trust busters who are paid or
the side to aid combinations to graf
other folks are not the kind who viii

Death Of Mrs. Craigie.

The death of Mrs. Craigie, better
known to English-speaking people un-
der her pen name Of John Oliver Hobbs,
was sudden and will prove shock to
followers Of the current literature.
While not a popular writer in the sense
of the "six best Sellers" her writings
had lively, interest for discriminating
readers. Her work had tinge Of
misanthropy, induced probably by her
unhappy marital experiences, but be-
meath her irony there was vein of
genuine humor. Her characterizations
were keen and she had marvellous
power Of exposure Of humbug and used
it most unsparingly In her earlier
| books. " .'.a.... .. ..'
Less than a year ago Mrs. Craigie
made a lecture tour of America which
was very successful. Her lectures were
partly literary, but the one she deliv-
cred here was comparison Of Tolstoy,
Loyola and Wesley, in which she en-
deavored to trace the philosophy of
great religious movements in the
world, her point of view being that
most religious leaders had gone to
irrational extremes. She was also the
author of many dramatic pieces, the
most successful being t'The Ambas.
sador," which was successfully played
in London and New York.

Mr. Wells delivers himself Of this de-
pressing but seemingly justified prophecy:
"These working children cannot be

be having votes-they cannot grow up
fit to bear arms; to be, In any sense but

The Bank and the City.

In an editorial discussion or the prln-
ciples of advertising the Manufacture
ers' Record of Baltimore calls atten-
tion to the advertisement of bank in
southern city which, taking the re-
sources and facilities of the bank on
one side and the advantages Of the
city on the other, presents a model and
effective appeal for patronage.
The old conservatism that SO long
hedges around the banks and kept them
from bringing their advantages before
the people thru the best medium of pub
1icity, the daily newspaper, has passed.
One may take up the eastern papers
and see the standing cards of the lead
ing financial institutions on the COM
mercial page and from glance at the
figures presented obtain an idea as to
the financial Importance of the city. Peo-
pie are impressed by the number and
solidity of the banking institutions of
Pittsburg, Cleveland and other cities,
to say nothing Of New York and Chi
cago. This is one way in which Min
neapolis falls down. To traveller pick
ing up daily Minneapolis paper on a
train and glancing over the pages it
would never occur that Minneapolis is
a financial center Of Importance. There
is nothing in the paper to show it.
The eastern bankers seem to have rec
ognized the effectiveness Of a concen-
trated, conservative, impressive and
permanent display advertisement. There
are instances where the business of a
particular financial institution, by ju-
dicious advertisement, has been built
up materially. There is no reason why
the management of a bank with ad-
vantages to offer the depositor should
not acquaint him with the fact. The
dry goods merchant or druggist draws
trade in this way and why should not
the banker9 Something more of coz
else statement without elaboration and
a suggestion of solidity and permanency
are the only particulars in which the
others.
In the advertisement commended by
the Manufacturers Record there is
recognition of the truth that the bank
and the community it serves stand to.
gether and that the building of the one
means increased business and prosper
ity for the other.
Probably nothing would rebound more
to the advantage of Minneapolis than
permanent display of the banking
facilities here concentrated. The world
knows that we make -four and lumbe,
and other things and that we are a
growing city likely in the next census
to show greater proportionate increase
in population than any other city in
the union, yet our Importance as q
financial center has never been fully
recognized,- especially in the east, be
cause there are many people who have
: not yet found out about it. They have
had no means of finding out.
