THE NEW COURTHOUSE.

Tomorrow Randall county citi-
zenS are called to pass upon the
question of q new courthouse.
The proposition is to issue
$4,000 in four per cent forty
year bonds. If carried it means
a modern new brick or stone
courthouse for Randall county
and, in the opinion of The News,
it's needed.
This new courthouse. to be
provided for or rejected by our
people tomorrow, if adopted, will
show to the world at large that
We, as resident citizens of the
county, have faith in its future;
that we have determined to 90
along the lines of progress map
ped out by our near nabors, Pot
ter and Deaf Smith counties:
that We, as a people, know when
fortune and opportunity knocks
at our door and how and when to
open that door.
We need the new courthouse.
We need it now and will need it
.Dore and more as the days pass
by. Under present conditions
our prestige as a progressive
people will suffer; our county
records are in danger of destruc-
ton by fire, should the old court
house burn, and more, if we pass
it by this time there is no telling
how many wet days and dry ones,
will come and go before Randall
county will have a courthouse
that she is not ashamed of.
Why should we vote against
the proposition: True, we are
going in debt for it, but is not

State land on forty ear at three
per cent: Considering our price
for money, ten per cent, surely
we are getting it cheap enough.

it, Consider what it means to

This, too, is leaving out of con-
sideration the tax income for the
present year in which a provision
has beenmade toliquidate$3, 000of
said court house and Jail bonds,
From the above it can readily
be seen that the financial cOndi-
ton of Randall county is very
good indeed and that we as a peo-
pie can we'll afford to borrow four
per cent money with which to
build new court house.

How to Cure a Cold.

BE as careful as you can you
will occasionally take cold, and
when you do, get medicine of
known reliability, one that has
an established reputation and
that is certain to effect a quick
cure. Such ii medicine is Cham
berlin's Cough Remedy. 1t has
gained a world wide reputation
by its remarkable cures of this
most common ailment, and can
always be depended upon. 1t
acts on natures plan, relieves the
lungs, aids expectoration, opens
the secretions and aids nature in
restoring the system to healthy
condition. During the many
years in which it has been in
general use we have yet to learn
of single case of cold or attack
of the grip having resulted in
pneumonia when this remedy
was used, which shows conclu-
sively that it is a certain proven
tive of that dangerous disease.

County Financial Condition.

The exact condition of Randall
county, Indebtedness and credits
are shown by the records, exam
ined Wednesday, to be as follows;
Nov. 10th, 1907, the date of the
official statement shows as 'out-
standing indebtedness
Courthouse & Jail bonds, $4,000
Road and bridge bonds, 5000
Total debt. ......... $4,000
The above is all Randall county
owes.
ASSETS
The assets Of the county, as of
an individual, consist of what is
owing to it and of what it has on
hand in cash. OF course, all of
these assets, that is the sum to-
tai, Is not available Tor any one
particular debt or liability that
has been or may be assumed,
but they are assets just the same
and must be, in all fairness, CON
sidered'as such. The November
statement above quoted shows
Randall county assets to be as
follows:
Cash in hands of treasurer to
the credit of the various funds,

murdered by talk. Talk that
was untrue and therefore SLAM
derous.
Jumping to conclusions, eSpe-
cially in panicky times, always
does more or less harm and some
times brings ruin in its wake.
For instance when last Thurs
days news reached here of the
closing of this bank at Kansas
City, it passed about the streets
like wildfire. Broke. " buSted;"
gone to smash, were the terms
used-all indicating complete
ruin. 1t was even limited that
one or both of our local banks
had been caught and had not this
been promptly denied a small
scare with some resultant dam
age might have been called on in
Canyon City and surrounding
country.
Now. the National Bank of
Commercials neither broke, bust
ed nor smashed. Its officials and
stockholders are among the
strongest. financially and other
wise, people of Kansas City and
assurance is given that all depos-
itors viii be paid in full.
1t is charged that a run was
started on this bank by the
Standard oil people They, the
oil folks. had it in for the bank,
It's said and instructed their
agents turnout the Southwest
to accept drafts on all other Kan
sas City banks except this partic-
ular one. And so the talk start
ed. 1t grew louder and longer
as it travelled until depositors
thinking there was something
the matter with the bank began
to withdraw their deposits. This
also had It's effect and it took on
the form Of a run when, after
paying out $4,000, 900, and see
ing no end 20 the matter the bank
was forced to close its doors. 1t
had to do this because it could
not cash in its loans. The bank
itself, from It's sworn statement,
in so far as its depositors are
concerned is solvent and so all
this mad rush Of depositors was
uncaHed for.
Banks, all of them, are in bust
ness to make money-same as
other people. They make it by
loaniqg their own and a certain
proportion Of their depositors
cash. The Federal and State
laws authorize this; they could
not do business upon any other
footing. They must keep re
serve; the law fixes the amount
of this reserve fund and when
there is danger Of intrenching
upon it. they must collect, and
falling TO collect, they must limit
or stop cashing checks. In times
like the present to push cOllec-
tons means disaster to the en-
tire country and this, just this
condition of affairs, fearful to
contemplate in its consequences
to all Of us, is what the panic
stricken depositor is liable to
bring into play. Nine times in
ten he does not want his money.
has no need of it whatever, but
fearful from the talk he hears
about this or that bank he heed
lessly brings destruction upon
business circles and that without
either good cause or justification.
Under present conditions no
bank anywhere could pay all Of
its depositors at once and no
bank should be asked or expect
ed to do so. In fact, until the
financial sky clears no depositor
should want TO draw his money
unless in absolute need. And
especially should this be the rule
when he, the depositor, knows
