Detroit iich..) Times.
The past week Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette of Wisconsin, has delivered two
or three speeches in Michigan. Since
the adjournment of congress he has
spoken l2S times in different parts of
the country.
He is advocating just what he advo-
Gated and brought to pass as governor
of Wisconsin strict control of corpora
tons just what he advocated and did
not bring to pass as United States sena-
tor. Some seven to nine amendments
which he submitted when the rate bill
was under consideration were laid upon
the table by vote of the corporation
senators.
''They had table especially for me,
says the senator. He argued, but they
gave no heed in that body, where they
did not know whether 20 answer pres
ent" or guilty" when The roll is called.
But the country has been listening to
him the past few months. He is an inn
pressive speaker with message, back
ed by record of courage and incorrupt-
Utility as public service. By his lips
and by his life he has been proclaiming
the gospel of regulation in dealing with
corporate ills.
His platform efforts are without form,
without studied oratorical effects. He
begins anywhere, ends anywhere, has
no stories. no classical illustrations, no
forensic flights; nothing but tremen-
dous earnestness in all that he has to
say, concerning the dangerous, unscru-
pulous use of power by the combination
of combinations that controls the indus
trial life of the nation.
Usually he speaks in fiery, clarion
tones, his voice having pleasing reso-
nance as he recounts the growth of cor
porate power and lays down the alter
native of return to healthy compe-
tition under strict control of railroads
and trusts, or moving forward TO gov
ernmental ownership. He prefers pri-
vate ownership and genuine competition,
but this failing he will be content To
look upon the Matchmaking of the mon
opolies that we could not restrict or
regulate.
His voice is worn now from much
speaking, and he is beginning to feel
the strain of getting the people to think
deeply upon the problem of checking the
small group of corporationists who domi-
nate the industrial world, He is not a
large man rather understood, but he is
active and imprisoned in his oratory
and seems to fill the stage He seems
surcharged with earnestness and when
the words 10 not come fast enough to
keep us With his thought, he completes
his periods with his vibrating fingers

Banks perform a great service to
their depositors, to their borrowers,
and to their communities generally.
To their depositors they offer safe
place fo- surplus cash and earnings;
to their borrowers they offer con-
venient means of obtaining mobile
capital for quick use on fair terms;
and to their respective communities
they offer a market through which the
accumulated small deposits of thous-
ands of individuals are made available
for safe and profitable investment in
~4ocal enterprises of merit. properly
conducted bank regards itself as the
trustee, first for its depositors, second,
for its borrowers. and third, for its
home community. A conscientious BAN
ker will regard his customers first,
his community next, his stockholders
next, and his personal likes and dis
likes not at all.-El Paso Herald

New York, Nov. 19.-The engage
ment of gold from abroad for impor.
tation to relieve the financial strin-
gency in the United States is near
ing the total of seventy-five millions.
Heidelbach, Eickelheimer and Co.
and the Guarantee Trust Co, both of
whom have already made large en-
gagements since the present move
ment began, announced today that
they had concluded negotiations, the
former for one million and the latter
for five hundred thousand This brings
the total engagements to date up to
$72, 100000.
AS evidence of the marked improve
ment in the financial situation in this
city, came the announcement today
that the Twelfth Ward Bank one of
the institutions which suspended pay
ment during the early days of the cri-
sis, would reopen for business tomor-
row. The news spread quickly thru
the Harlem district where the bank
is located and within an hour a good
sized crowd gathered in the vicinity
of the building. The local sub-treasu-
ry today received the first official ad-
vices from Washington regarding the
issue of one hundred
million dollars of treasury certificates.
At the sub-treasury subscriptions for
nominal amounts were taken, but moth
ing was known about the twenty-five
million dollar syndicate said to have
been formed to take up portion of
the issue. No deposit is required with

SIXTEEN INCHES OF SNOW

hopelessly stuck il the snow and
Smyrl brought that cars mail along
with his own consignment and reach
ed Roswell, bringing in driver who
took out w. G. Hamilton's car yester-
day morning. There were no passen-
gers on either car. Smyrl reports that
although there was no snow to speak
of at Torrance, there was a strip six
teen miles wide just the other side
of the halfway house that varies
from sixteen to eighteen inches in
depth. 1t was melting rapidly yester-
day.

MR.. BRYAN ADVISES DEPoS-
TORS TO BE PATIENT

While editorially in The Commoner
suggesting remedies that ought to be
invoked for permanent relief and
protection of the public for the future,
William J. Bryan also urges patience
and confidence. He says:
'eThe banks are, as rule. perfectly
sound They are not loaded up with
bad paper Examination will show
that prices have been rising and that
men are better able to pay their debts
now than they were ten or even five
years ago; but the depositors can
precipitate a panic if they are unreas-
enable enough to do so. The with
drawaI of a few dollars a day by eacn
depositor, if he deposits none, will
soon cripple the strongest institution.
while an agreement among the depos-
itors to exercise a little more faith,
will soon relieve the situation While
the local banks may find it fmpossi-
BILE to withdraw the deposits which
they have made in the eastern banks.
those deposits will ultimately be paid,
and there is practically no danger of
loss to the various communities un-
less depositors are foolish enough to
expect the impossible.

into baak. he knows that his ability
to withdraw It on demand depends
entirely upon the probability that but

To meet condition that he believes
Smith, pastor of the Southern Metho-
dist Episcopal church, has made ar
rangements to hold series of Sunday
afternoon meetings, or lectures, thro-
out the coming winter, and has secur-
ed the Majestic theatre as the place
jestic management has donated the
use of the auditorium, the meetings
being designed for public entertain
ment and for good. The meetings will
start next Sunday and will be held
each Sabbath during the winter at
three in the afternoon. Every man and
boy in the city is invited and there
will be no charge, whatever. Later
on meetings for both men and women
will occasionally take the place of
the regular mems meeting.
The program at these meetings will
be changed each week to keep up the
interest. Sometime it will be regular
religious meeting. Sometime it will be
an address by some prominent citi-
zen. Sometime it will be a discussion
by several citizens, or all VINO wish to
take part. Occasionally there will be
an illustrated song or a picture on
the moving picture machine. 1t will be |
made interesting and after a few meet |
ings, the attendance will no doubt tbe |
large. The affair is to be entirely with |
out the clink of money, the sole pur- |
pose being to make a good place for |
idle men to go ON Sunday afternoons.

waterways already exist, and it is
proposed that the channels of canals,
rivers. bays, ETC., that are to be part
of the great water course be deepen
ed and widened so as to permit the
passage of the largest war ships. The
idea of the projectors is to run water
way from Barnstable Bay on the
north side of Cape Cod to Beaufort
Inlet. 1t is believed the route would
save many millions of dollars in
freight to the business interests of
the North and South, besides cutting
down the water distance of coast
wise steamers.

few will want to withdraw the money
at one time. He has no right to ex-
pect, therefore, that he can call for
his money at once if all the other de-
positors do the same thing-still less
should he expect it if his timidity
makes others timid. This is a time
when depositors should recognize the
service of the bank to the community
for the bank would not exist but for
the local demand for it-and the de
positor should help to protect the
community by giving such support
as is within his power. The depositor
who thinks only of himself at a time
like this is as much to be criticised
as the citizen who, thinking only of
himself in time of war, refuses to
bear any of the risks or dangers nee
essary for his country's protection"

The big washout between Malaga
and Pecos, on the Pecos Valley branch
of the Santa Fe, is repaired at last
and the trains will now run daily be-
tween Carlsbad and Pecos as before
The first train went down last night
and returned this morning. Inconven-
lent though it seems. having to stop
all night at Carlsbad and Pecos, this
road and outlet to FL Paso IS a great
boon to travellers south, and the COM
pletion of the repairs will be heralded
with delight by travelling statesmen and
others who have occasion to make the
lower end of the valley on their way
through to the Pass City.
The wash-out on the Pecos-Carlsbad
branch occurred at the same time of
the wash-out of $50 feet of trestle
and track eight miles above Roswell,
near Riverside. That was On October
21 Since then the railroad company
has been working constantly to repair
the damage, but it was too big a job
to finish sooner. Several miles of the
track and road-bed were ruined and
many more were partly damaged TIE

Washington, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Anna
NJ, Bradley, on trial for killing former
Senator Brown of Utah, took the wit

heard became generally known, so
the court room of limited capacity at
the best was crowded long before the
trial opened. Much interest was man.

court room a few minutes after ten
O'Clock. She was much agitated and
seemed almost devoid of courage and

given time to compose herself while
Mrs. Josephine Tiger, a local news
paper woman, related the particulars
of a call upon Mrs. Bradley in the
house of detention. Taking all the con

said she reached the conclusion that
Mrs. Bradley was insane.

was called and Immediately faced the
jury, q call Mrs. Annie Adams" said

intensified. He Immediately corrected
the mistake, announcing that he :
meant Mrs. Annie Bradley. Then the
interest took another phase. By the
time the first question had been put
the witness had gathered herself to-
sether, and her nervousness had well
night left her. Her voice was low and
but the tone firm. For
while the stenographer was compelled
to read her responses to the jury. but
she soon gained confidence and
strength to make herself heard.
Judge Powers asked questions, and
they were at first directed to develop

Il Paso and formerly well known in
this section of New Mexico, was here
yesterday circulating petition ad-
dressed to the Governor of New Mex

timers who were here at the time of
the killing. He secured several of
them.
The older citizens all well remem-
Der the tragedy. Crump went to a
house where Hall was quartered and
when Crump broke open the door Hall
shot him. They had been having trou-

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. i9.-When
two carloads of Mobile women came
to the city today to lobby against the
Prohibition bill, they found that ele-
cations from Montgomery, Birmingham
and other towns filled the senate gal
lery until not a seat was left. The
plan to crowd them out had carried.
Little children stood in the lobby,
There were pink ribbons on every one
who came in and the scene was one
of the most spectacular in the history
of the state. When the Mobile ladies'
arrived they found they had to stay
outside in an already over-crowded
lobby. Children were kept ont of the
schools to work against whiskey.
