nay, many retail purchases are paid
for by check; and nearly all monthly
settlements of account are balanced i'll
that way. Sensible farmers nowadays
keep their cash in bank and pay their
bills by check, as do city folks; its
safer and it's more convenient and
certainly means greater economy.
But if bank held all its deposits

while the country depositor needs still
less; and all banks are ready to and
able to pay on demand that propoc-
ton of their total deposits; but if all
depositors should ask for their money
all at once, simply because they

Now in times like these, it is worth
while to repeat these elementary
truths because they point moral duty
that all business men and depositors
in banks owe to each other as we'll as
to themselves. The person who re-

true that people at such times seldom

perhaps, always about the real stu

preservation asserts itself above all
other considerations or reason itself:
but no opportunity can be offered for
studying the effects of panics so al
vantageously as watching at a safe
distance the behavior of the timorous
in futter like that seemingly coming

The Cnheeded Voice.

In juggling with the primary election
law as it came from the state house of
representatives, the senators placed po-
litical consideration above adherence to
the rights and demands of the people
They yielded to the wishes of the
crafty politicians, Joseph G. Cannon
and L. Y. Sherman and ignored totally
the voice of the people as emphatically
expressed At the polls. Is there any
one of good intent and average intel
lect who could misinterpret the senti-
ment as overwhelmingly expressed or
this subject?
At the election of November, 1904,
the following question of public policy
was submitted to the voters:
"Shall the state legislature amend
the primary election law so as to pro-
vide for party primaries at which the
voter will vote under the Australian
ballot directly for the candidate whom
he wishes nominated by his party?"
The voters of Illinois replied as fo!-
lows:
Yes ........ 590,9I6
No .. ....... -. sS,446
The senator who wavered in the face
| of those figures or who was reluctant
about approving primary law legisla
ton, classed himself with those office
holders who ignore public demand and
who represent selfish interests.
