the radical change of party lines. In
recent interview. Col. Watterson
said:
The old parties are dead. Roose-
welt has destroyed what was left of

Bryan would have changed our
currency in 1896: Roosevelt's re-
election will change the state. "If

by all means let it be for life. Make
him king! Do more than that
make him emperor"
Political alignment has radically
changed within the last four wears
Roosevelt has disclaimed much that
MS party has stood for. He bs.
adopted many of Mr.. Bryan's poII.
cies. and much that is Democratic

which has been cardinal princip,,
OF Mt Bryan's platform. Roosevelt's
candidate has also declared himself
IN favor of an income tax. which was
passed under Cleveland's last admin

MEXICAN BOYS FIND
LOST PAY CHECKS

Trinidad. Nov 15.-The pay checks
of the Carbon Coal and Coke company
which mysteriously disappeared Mon
day after being placed in the Cokedale
hack at Longsdale, have been recover
ed and are now in the hands OF the
officials at Cokedale. Chas. McComber,
driver of the stage, who was arrested
on suspicion of having stolen the
checks, has been released from Gus
tody and now threatens to bring suit
for false Imprisonment.
According to the account received
by ITndersheriff Greeger, the checks
were found Tuesday afternoon by two
Mexican boys named Baca. who found
the package lying near the point where
the stage road crosses the railroad
track. They stated that they gave the
package to a man who left 1t at the
home of MAXWELL Long. a miner at
Cokedale. Long did not return home
Tuesday night. When he reached home
Wednesday he opened the package and
this morning turned 1t over to the Of
ficials at. Cokedale. The employees Of
the company were paid yesterday in
gold.

banks for emergencies will not be suf-
ficient to meet prolonged run.
1t must have time to realize upon
securities by selling them and upon
loans by their maturity, and in this
there may be needless loss for the de-
positors as a whole. If the bank has
to suspend or require its depositors
to give it time by giving notice OF
Withdrawals, it not sign of weakness
but is due to the blind selfishness and
ignorance Of those who are clamoring
for their deposits without reason. An
understanding of how the bank works
would prevent run in most cases.
1t is much the same with the or
binary depositors in commercial banks
many of them nowadays are small
traders and women house-holders.
They do not realize that their money
is not always in the bank waiting for
them whenever they are leased to
call for it. Most OF it must be out
working for the bank, invested in COM
mercial paper or loans on security
which it takes time to mature.
1t is going out and coming in, with
greater or less increment all the
time, and only portion Is kept on
hand in cash, rarely more than a quar-
ter of the amount on deposit at any
one time. All the deposits are subject
to demand, but it is ordinarily expect
ed that the demand actually made for
out from day to day will not exceed the
amount that Is coming in in payments
to the bank.
The reserve is lying idle to meet ex-
ceptional demands, but the law re-
quires it to be kept up even when such
demands are made. If these suddenly
come in with rush and persist day
after day the money of the most -four
ishing bank will not be at immediate
| command to meet them.
1t may have plenty of resources,
but not be able to turn them into cash
and pay them over to depositors at
once. By an overwhelming and Per-
sistent demand it might be forced to
suspend with millions of surplus not
instantly available.
This is quite elementary, but 1t Is
often not understood or not considered
| by those who thoughtlessly withdraw
| their deposits whenever there Is a
furry of distrust in the air, though it
does not in any way affect their bank.
They also fail to consider that by
making unnecessary Withdrawals they
are doing what they can to produce
embarrassment and make trouble for
their bank. An elementary knowledge
Of what banks do and how they do 1t
ought to be more widely diffused by
our schools.-New York Journal of
| Commerce.

W. C. BLAIR NAMED SECRETARY
OF STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE

Denver, Nov. 1S.-John F. Vivian,
present chairman of the Republican
state central committee, Saturday ap-
pointed w. C. Blair secretary of that
organization, to succeed Samuel H.
Wood who recently resigned. Blair
is the editor of the Lake City Times.
and is also deputy Insurance COM
missioner, and is without doubt, one
of the most consistent Republicans
that ever stamped the eagle on cleo
tion day. He Is one Of those chaps
who is Republican first. last and all
the time and a Democrat or a Pro-
hibitionist never.
His appointment will no doubt give
general satisfaction throughout the
entire state. That Is, satisfaction to
the Republicans but perhaps it will
also give feeling Of unrest to the
Democrats who know his hustling
ability when 1t comes to assisting In
lining up an organization and In get
ting votes. His merits can be summed
up from a Republican point of view In
just four words: His hearts just
right"
