TWO VIEWS OF A CONDITION

The man who draws his deposit from
the banks takes the first brick from the
underpinning which upholds the COM
mercial edifce. This is especially SO III
this country of the people, for only the
people have money, and with it they sus-
tain the entire industrial and commercial
fabric If every depositor in the land by
preconcerted action demand their bank
deposits on the same day they would net
only bankrupt the nation and throw
| themselves out of jobs, but there wou!1

try to go around. No one would del'b-
erately pull down the roof over his own
head. and yet this was the very act that
was performed by many insofar as ten
powers lay Beaumont Enterprise.
Very true but the depositor as a gen
eral rule, will not withdraw his deposit
until he has experienced some suspicion
through some of its officers or directors
of bank, which lead him to Withdraw
his money and place it where he may
have greater confidence than in the bank
Why should not the depositor strlYe to
, protect himself against a possible or !
probable bank defalcaton?
A bank when directed honestly and Is
the care Of men commanding Conscience
should have easy and unlimited contro
over the depositor. The bank which cai
not inspire and maintain the conf dcnce
of its depositors should not be perm'ttef
to exist.
Confidence in the unlimited integrity
of the bank and its officials are essentials
to long and lasting success.

SAlO CON MEN WILL BE GOOD

The saloon men of Louisiana. the

are irresistible. are gradually getting to-
gether as indicated by the clip from the
New Orleans Picayune following:
"Realizing the threatening menace OF

to bring about general reform in the

like. and thereby meet with public ap

Of these cases are. in almost every case

difficult thing for that body to legisate
against its own members Secondly, the
better class of the saloon men seem to
feel that the barrcl-houses almost solely
are responsible for the agitation of pro
hibition in the South, and that unless
something is done to eradicate them
Louisiana and New Orleans may have
prohibition forced on them.

POWERS DANGER

The statements of obvious fact made
BY Donelson Gallery. .]r.. in Washington
Artillery Hall the other evening make
clear to any American citizen living III
Louisiana that Jared y. Sanders is not
the man to be Governor of this splendid
commonwealth.
Proof takes such shape that it can not
be refuted. and the kernel of that proof
over and above all else is that at one
period of his public career Sanders dcdi-
Gated his political endeavors to schemes
Of trckery. to manipulating public Of
fee for the exclusion Of opponents and
the favoring OF french,prop. takes
such shape as to show that III his char
acter are elements dangerous when
lodged in the hands Of the Chief Execu-
tive or any official clothed with power.
Proof takes such shape as to show Il
people destitute of sef-respect who will
clothc with power and honor any man
who has at any period Of his political
career employed gross unfairness.

Harlequin has never since its incep-

To my mind, as have said before. to
support candidate means to champion,
to stand for the man and all he repre-
sents and to stand for his acts
1t means to be able with heartiness
and good faith to defend him and en-
dorse him.
When such support is disarmed; when
it is rendered utterly powerless to de-
fend what must be defended. to deny
what the face of the evidence admits
