OFFICIAL PAPER OF AUDUBON COUNT,
AND OF THE TOWN OF AUDUBON.
PANAMA BONDS ISSUED

President Roosevelt approves an or
der by the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue Panama Bonds to the amount
of fifty million dollars, and govern
ment notes for one hundred millions,
the latter in small sums and drawing
three per cent payable in one year.
The proceeds will bedeposited in banks
in the west and south where it is most
needed to market the crops. 1t is be-
lieved that these issues by the govern
ment will call out large amount of
money that is now in hiding and put it
In circulation because the government
is responsible for their payment. Fifty
million dollars in gold has been Inn
ported and sixty million more depos-
tied by the government. The Presi-
dent says there is no analogy between
the present conditions and those Of
1893. On November 30th of that year,
there was but Sl6l, 900, 900 in gold in
the Treasury. On November l4th, of
this year there was 1904, 900, 900 of gold.
Then the circulation per capita was
1923. %. Now it is $685. %. The Presi-
dent assures the people that business
conditions are in good shape and If
they will just 60 ahead in the usual
way the outcome will be all right. He
further says he has assurance from
lea 6ecS In POnupasc that n ancraooy
bill will be considered and probably
passed at an early day to relieve the
present stringency and to provide
against its recurrence.

Some Reasons Why
Given BY Henry Wallace Editor of
the Wailace's Farmer

From lengthy article written by
Henry Wallace, we present the follow
ing excerpts which will be Of special
interest at this time: The theory on
which banking Is done is that all the
depositors will not want their money
at the same time. The law recognizes
this by providing that banks must
keep certain reserve fund in cash, 10
per cent in one class of banks, and 20
per cent in another, IL having been
found by experience that under or
binary conditions this Is ample and
that the Majority of the depositors do
not not want their money at the same
time. A bank could not exist unless
it could loan its deposits.
The banking business Is also based
on the theory that the deposition will
not want his deposits all in cash but
will use checks and drafts. In fact,
from 81 to SO per cent of the business
of the country Is done not with cash,
but with checks and drafts which take
the place of cash. If, therefore,
through panic the depositors demand
all cash and all at the same time or
within few days, they simply render
banking impossible II allowed TO
have it they would put the business of
the country back two hundred years,
and would OF only break the banks,
but, II the policy was general, would
bankrupt the business of the entire
country, their own included
If, therefore, circumstances creating
great distrust and every body rushes
or is likely to rush to the bank for his
money, the banker has the right both
for self-defense and for the defense OF
the constituents of the bank to say:
mo. We will give you the amount
of cash which experience is shown to
be necessary. We will give you the
rest in checks or drafts, as we have
always done, and we will deal with
special cases of peculiar hardship as
their necessities require. If you want
to hoard this money away In old Hour
sacks or old stockings, you can't have
it. If we give one the privilege we
must give it to all, including the men
who have given notes as we'll as those
who have deposited cash, and II all or
one-half or even one third of our Gus
toners should avail themselves of 1t
the bank would go out OF existence
to start another, +"
To have allowed depositors to draw
and hoard their money, as they began
to do in New York to the extent of fifty
millions, would have paralyzed in
dustry, sacrificed the years crop OF
live stock and grain, bankrupted rent
ers and the poorer farmers and their
creditors. A time of readjustment OF
values is now before us and the saw
ings of the people, which will be need
ed in this readjustment, are now safe.

The Companion as a Christmas Gift

Nobody is too young, nobody istoo
old, to enjoy reading The Youths Com
panion. For that reason it makes one
OF the most appropriate of Christmas
gifts-one OF the few whose actual worth
far out weighs the cost. Welcome as
the paper may be TO the casual reader
on the Grain, at the office, in the pub
lie library, it is, after all the paper of
the home. The regularity and frequen :
cy of It's visits, the cordial sympathy of
its tone, make for it soon the place of
familiar friend in the house. Like
good friend too it stands always for
those traits and qualities which are
typifed in the ideal home and are the
sources of a nations health and true
prosperity. Is there another Christ
mas gift costing so little that equals
it?
On receipt of 81 10, the yearly sub
scription price, the publishers send to
the new subscriber all the remaing is
sues of The Companion for 1907 and
the four-leaf hanging calendarfor 1908
in full color.

euTLlTTLE CONF OFT.

The New York World, which is &C
knowledged to be one of the leading
Democratic papers of the country max
es the following comments upon the
recent election: However, anxious we
are to find something in Tuesdays
elections which can be construed as q
wholesome and adequate rebuke to
President Roosevelt we have been I'M
successful.
However anxious we are to find en-
enlargement for the democratic party
and evidence of brighter democratic
prospects, the returns refuse to assist
US.
On the contrary, the figures justify
President Roosevelt's exultant boast
that the returns are extremely graft
fyingn and that as q whole g the show
ing has been an Improvement over
what it was four years ago and eight
years ago"
Comparatively the republican party
polls It's heaviest vote in presidential
years, the democrat party in of years.
This was an off year. There should
have been decisive democratic victor
les with corresponding republican de-
feats. Where are they?

JUDGE JACKSON.

Judge Jackson who resides down
in Muscatine, invited the saloon
keepers and the ministerial associa-
ton to meet him in the court room
when he announced to the former that
the mulet law must be obeyed to the
letter; that screens must be removed ;
that saloons must be closed on SUI
day and at ten O'Clock at night; that
they can have no chairs or furniture;
that no wine rooms be connected, and
no female help employed. Comment.
ing further the Judge said: "The sa-
loon exists by sufferance in this COM
munity, and II you so conduct yours a-
looms that complaint is made against
you, you are not entitled to jury trial.
II you are found guilty by the court
you are to receive serious punishment

been reading the papers the past week
have been impressed by the great
gains In prohibition territory that
have been made all over the country.

OKLAHOMA OKAYEO

On Saturday morning, at Nine
O'Clock, November l6, 1907, the Presi-

ing Oklahoma one of the states of the
Union. A new governor and other
state officers were inaugurated and
the former appointed two United States
Senators. In making reference to its
admission the Sioux City Journal
makes the following characteristic
remarks:
Oklahoma is cordially invited to
walk in and join the family circle The
book shelf has been busted off, and
that bulky constitution cango up there
besides the others. There are no hard
feelings because Oklahoma has lined
up politically with the minority. AS a
matter of fact the minority needs lit
tie help If the family discussion that
has been going on is to maintain its
interest. And then there is the posi-
bility OF converting the new member

with the real merits offamily politics

Attempt At Poetry
BY MEMBER OF WALRUS CLUB

The Walrus Club,
Prince of the Hub,
On bounteous grub
Is no mean scrub.
1t kissed the muse,
And ran a ruse,
And then did muse
BY ones and twos.
Sporadic flights,
Late hours at night,
Their poems write
With all their might.
And now tits said
The muse Is dead,
The poems read,
The club Is bust-ed.
