BRYAN SEES MESSAGE
AGREES WITH THE PRESIDENT
ON MANY THINGS.

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 4.-Wil-
liam ]. Bryan, en- route to his home in
Lincoln, Neb., arrived here today from
Washington. BY appointment Mr..
Bryan met his wife and daughter at
the Fort Pitt Hotel. The latter are
bound for New York, whence they will
sail for Europe Saturday.
Mr.. Bryan will not accompany them,
he said, as he has lecture engagements
which will keep him occupied for some
time.
Mr.. Bryan was reluctant to discuss
President Roosevelt's message 20 Con-
gress. saying that he had not had suf-
ficient time to read it through. He.
however, commented freely on several
Of the most important issues, and gave
President Roosevelt credit for intro
ducing an original proposition in sug-
costing the appropriation of campaign
funds by the government.
Il hope" he said, that it will be
enacted into a law"
On important questions Mr.. Bryanis
ideas coincide with the text of the
message. He is strictly in accord with
the President concerning postal savings
banks and guaranteed banks. He said
"1fe plan Of the guaranteed bank is
Aimply this: Statistics show the aver
aso loss to depositors to be very small.
taking all the banks together; but the
depositors are afraid because they do
not know much about the affairs Of any
particular bank. The Postmaster Gen.
eral. in recommending the postal saw
ings banks, called attention to the
fact that a large sum Of money is sent
back to the government banks of Eu-
rope by people who are afraid 10 trust
the private banks here and Mr. Wana-
maker has been quoted as saying that
large sum Is kept in boarding and
hiding places In this country.
Guaranteed Banks.
If this sum can be drawn into the
banks and thus be put into channels of
trade it will relieve the stringency more
effectively than anything else. The postal
bank will do this to limited extent, but
not completely, for in the plan proposed
the depositors will be limited as to each
person, and there will be no checking &C
count allowed.
THE system of the guaranteed banks
contemplate the absolute guarantee by
the government of such banks as may
voluntarily enter into the system. In en-
tering the system they agree to reimburse
the government in proportion to their de-
posts for any losses incurred by the gov
eminent in payment Of depositors in
failed banks. During the last forty years
the average loss among national banks
has been less than one-tenth of l per cent
of deposits. and, as we have passed
through two panics>in that time 1t is not
likely that the average loss will be greater
during the next forty years.
ITO sum up the situation, the depoAtors
need security. and this must either be
given by the postal savings banks. which
will grow until it has absorbed the de-
posit banking of the country. or it must
be furnished through the guarantee of
existing banks

Letter from Texas.

FLoREsvILLE, WILSON Co., TEXAS,
June "a, 1907.
DEAR ADVOCATE AND READERS:
We are now having settled summer
weather. after a remarkably cool and
erratic spring. During May much of the
state was visited by violent local wind and
hail storms, which did much damage to
crops and property, and killed and injured
half hundred people. Crops are later
than usual, the melon crop being twice
destroyed in this immediate vicinity by
hail. The onion crop was fine and the
producers for once received good prices for
them. A good average corn crop is now
maturing The cotton crop is still an un-
certainty A few boil weevil are here
ready to begin their crusade of destruc-
ton. Poultry is quite lively commercial
factor, all kinds Of fowls selling at absurd
ly high prices. of late years bee culture
has been vigorously pushed and reduced
to an exact system in Southern Texas.
The annual shipments from this one town
of honey and wax Of excellent quality,
exceeds 1000 pounds, and price gen
orally satisfactory to the seller. For
several years raising horses and mules has
been very remunerative. The old and
formerly principal business of stock. raising
in Western Texas is still pursued with
profit, and the animals are now made
bouncing fat by feeding ON cotton seed
meal and hulls from the oil mills. The
OIL hulls and meal of cotton seed are now
worth about what the lint is.
Town lots and rural lots have doubled
in value within the last few years, and
still the price is rolling skyward This
means that the population is increasing at
a tremendous rate.
Lands that few years ago were worth
to dollars per acre, are now being eager
ly snapped up by lusty farmers foreign
and domestic-at from S15. 90 to $40. 90.
Some that produce rousing onion crops, in
| favorable localities would sell for $100 90
per acre.
While | write the mechanics hammers
are rattling in many directions, and rush
of improvement is manifest on every hand.
Two of my boys are carpentering, { Howard
and Carroll "Gib, owns a third interest
in busy blacksmith and wheelwright shop.
| Maud will soon enter State Normal
School to advance her education, though
she now holds 1st grade certificate as
teacher, and has ably conducted three
schools. I just bought John Fremont,
my eight year old, ''little hatchet, and
he is driving nails in most everything that
is soft enough. Frank Leslie is telephone
messenger, bill collector and general scout.
Eva is petting her doll, I call her Dutchie,
because she is SO sweet. Baby, call her
Bonita, which is the euphonious Spanish
word for pretty, is sick with fever. We

PHYSICIANS DISAGREE.
Different Opinions on Cooper's Remarkable
Success Held by Cincinnati Medical Men.

cases of years standing that proved
very obstinate in treatment"
81 am the last man on earth to
staud in the way of anything that may
prove for the public good simply
through professional prejudice, and
| am inclined to give Cooper and his
preparations credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstra-
tion that has been accorded them in
this city"
Another we'll known physician who
was seen took the opposite view Of
the "Cooper mania," as he called it,
which now has this city in its grip.
He said: II can only liken the present
state of affairs to a certain kind of
hallucination. For want of better
name might call it Cooper mania !"
The people of Cincinnate seem to be
firm in the belief that this man Cooper
has health corked up in bottle"
''Some of them imagine that he has
completely cured them of various ills
Judging from their statements. 1t is
beyond me to say why the city has
gone crazy over the man. 1t may be
safely put down. l think, to one of
the passing fads that 80 often attack
the American public"
"Sooner or later the people are
bound to regain their senses and will
then realize the reputable physicians
is the one to whom their health had
best be entrusted"
In the meantime Cooper meets sew
eral thousand people daily, and only
smiles when statements of the above
character are quoted to him. His char
liable work still continues to be very
extensive.

Reading Under Water.

An electric arc lamp, capable of ef-

water illumination for ship salvage
and other similar work, as well as for
operations in explosive atmospheres,
has been tried in the harbor of Aber-
deem in connection with repairs ef-
fected on the dock gates there, with
out taking them out of position. 1t
was found that thorough examina-
ton of the dock gates could be made
by the aid of the lamp, and in order
to demonstrate its power one of the
divers returned for newspaper, and
