National Banks.

Have proved to be the safest banking
institution in the world; but few have
ever failed. and that few have paid 7s
per cent of their total liabilities.
This exceptional record of stability
has established great confidence on

them the greater part of the banking
business, wherever National Banks are

One feature of National banking laws

Bits by the Editor.

The Silverton Miner said last week
that the Delta papers had engaged in
quite few personalities. We do not
know whether to take that as an affront
or not. At any rate the election is ov-
er. That we do know.
There was more "rustling" last Tues
day than Delta has seen for many and
many day. If one tenth as much ef-
fort was p1t into boosting the town
there would be city Of ten thousand
people here IN less than year. But
such is the way vi the world.
A big coal strike is on in the east and
settlement, although greatly desired
by the people, seems to be vague and
uncertain promise. The unfairness Of
both sides Is apparent But Colorado
seems to have escaped SO far. May it
continue to do SO.
One of the best printed and edited
papers on the Western Slope is the Pa
onia Newspaper. by Charley Rawalt.
The only fault we have to find Is that
he is little too much on the Bryan
order. His ideas on Roosevelt are right
and also his ideas ON several Of the pa-
pers published in Delta County. He is
able to discover the difference between
hot air and Straight talk and that Is
more than few Of our contemporaries
seem able TO do. Rawalt 10 no quitter.
We are glad to count him as friend II
for no other reason than that.
There is one thing that the Taxpayers
Ticket would like to call attention to.
That is about voting people whose res
idence here might be in doubt. Moth
ing Of that kind was done on the part
Of the supposed wet" ticket. But
the other ticket is guilty Of running in
voters who have homesteads, who have
lived here less than the time required
by law and who would have been qucs-
toned over and over again IL their &C.
tions were private ones. One reason
why this condition existed is probably
the fact that the Taxpayers ticket was
composed largely of business men and
who, necessarily, are fairminded.
II Mr.. Blackwell knew how many
friends he is losing and how many Of
his people are surprised at his unwar-
ranted attack on the county commission
ers, perhaps he would cut out some Of
his editorial writer's rot. Blackwell
has generally shown pretty good judg-
ment in his actions in times past and
has not been In the habit Of making
misteps but under the apparent inau-
ence Of some who are not noted for par
ticularly sound action he is being led
away from the right path. OF course
his attacks on the county officers will
only stand him hard in hand next fall
as no one will consider his organ AZ be-
ing Of much political worth. And they
will consider in the right, too.

.BUREAUCRAT
MAKES LAW
Russian Capital Aroused at
Action Of Gar.
EMPEROR WOULD RULE
Measure Supposed TO Have Per-
ished With Wife Regime Re.
vived and Promulgated.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 8 Anolh-
or Of the Kaleidoscope changes in the
political situation to which Russia is
becoming accustomed occurred late
last night when. with utter unexpected
ness, the draft Of the new fundamental
law. which was supposed to have per
lshed with the Witte regime, was Of
ficially promulgated and made the per
manent basis Of the Russian state unal-
terable except on the initiative Of En-
peror Nicholas or his successors.
Though the draft of the new funda-
mental law has undergone considerable
editing and numerous minor changes
have been made I'm It, in essence 1t re
mains Identical with the project tele-
graphed TO America on April p, which
evoked a storm Of anger and condemns
ton by the dominant Liberal party.
Published at the present instant, when
the people had been led to believe that
the unpopular draft had been dropped
ana when the dismissal OF the old cabi-
net was accepted as an indication Of
the desire on the part of the govern
ment TO Join hands with the national
parliament, the news arouses still
greater indignation and threatens to
undo All the work OF Professor Milu-
kof' and the other Constitutional Demo
cratic leaders IN the cause of modern-
ton
The new fundamental law of the EN-.
pire, signed May 8. contains eighty.two
articles dealing with the nature OF The
imperial power, the rights and duties
Of citizens the methods of legislation,
The rights and limitations Of the ma
tional assembly and council Of the en-
plre and the constitution and respons-
bilities Of the council OF ministers
The only modification in the "const.
tuition" as published which meets with
favor is the elimination of the pro
vision empowering the emperor TO fix
salaries and pensions of officials, there
by subiectng even the judiciary 60 The
possibility Of undue financial influence.
All the other changes are in the. d
rectlon Of further buttresSing the i'm
perial power, protecting the crown
lands and properties from Interference
by the parliament and giving the EN-
peror power To conclude loans indie
pendently should the parliament refuse
10 pass the budget
The retirement OF seven members Of

the fire apparatus in vain attempt to
save the hotel.
He saved most Of the valuable paint

burned on account of the irresistible
rush of the flames he had the paintings
cut from the frames rolled up and car
ried away \ city fire engine was
abandoned which he took charge of
and with it made a heroic fight against
the flames
lie broke open several grocery stores
that w5re about TO be burned and fed
thousands of people who were crying
for something to eat When he could
no longer fight the fire he proceeded in
advance of the flames and destroyed
hundreds of barrels of whisky and in
that manner prevented much lootlng
and kept the liquor from the lawless
element.
When he could no longer save prop
erty he retreated to the Bears steam
launch and rendered. all possible aid
along the water front, and when the
launch broke down he secured the loan
