It's mighty queer what considera-
lions determine the casting of vote
for candidate by some voters. The
question of fitness seems never to en-
ter their heads. Some silly gossip
is given credence and a vote is cast
accordingly. 1t is men of this calibre
usually that say women don't know
enough to vote intelligently. AS a
matter of fact, the feminine portion
of the community haven't monopo-
ly on gossip.

TIE DEMAND FOR BONDS


One of the beneficial after effects
of the recent panic is found in the
readiness with which bonds, bearing
moderate interest rates, are being
taken as rapidly as they are issued by
big industrial and commercial corpor-
ations. Prior to the financial crash
in October, 1907, bonds were a drug
on the market. The speculative spirit
was rife in the east and investors were
looking for big returns, refusing to
consider the old staple bonds that
were on the market without either
buyers or bidders. When the specula-
tive bubble burst, investors turned
their attention to safe d%ebentures,
even to those bearing very low inter
est rates. with the result that there
is now IN exceptionally strong de-
mand for bonds of all kinds.
Sales of bonds on the New York
Stock exchange, from January /
to November 25, have aggregated
$3.50, 00O, 900, or more than double
the entire bond sales for the year
1907. The floating supply of the
highest grade bonds has been entirely
exhausted, and the investing force of
the entire country is asking for bonds,
instead Of following the usual course
of offering its money for use in stock
and speculative operations. AS a re-
suit of this demand for bonds, rather
than stocks, there has been an in
creased demand for trustworthy bonds
of municipalities, smaller railroads,
public service corporations and sound
industrial companies. Investment in
these securities lessons the amount
available for speculative purposes,
and to that extent serves to lessen the
i'll effects, or the possibilities of such
effects upon the financial situation by
overspeculation in Wall street stocks.
1t is encouraging to note that the
increased demands for bond securities
come from both individuals and insti-
buttons throughout the country. Many
individuals and concerns are selling
their short term notes and investing
the proceeds in long time bonds, as
surfing a marked degree of perma-
nency to the present strong tone of the
bond market. This abundant supply
of money promises an easy absorption
from time to time of the large issues
of refunding bonds of the big rail-
roads, to take up-and cancel the float
ing debts. The entire outlook is en-
couraging for easy money for all le-
Ultimate enterprises, even If the
speculative element in Wall street lie
kept on short financial rations for an
indefinite period.

THE NEW SUPREME COURT.

The voters Of Nebraska have au-
thorized an increase in numbers of
the membership of the supreme court
of the state, and have also allowed a
very liberal increase In the salaries
paid to the judges. The necessity for
this has existed for a long time. In
fact, for many years the work of the
supreme court has been accomplished
by meant OF a commission which was
merely a makeshift, temporary in its
nature and more or less uncertain in
its function. The new arrangement
ought to result in more expeditions
and satisfactory handling of the mat
ters that are taken before the higher
tribunal.
In making selections for the places
he had to give out in the new tribunal
Governor Sheldon has exercised COM
mendable care and wisdom. The dem
ocrats of the state certainly cannot,
and the republicans will not, criticise
the restoration of Judge Sullivan to
the bench. Judge Sullivan had the
distinction of being the first democrat
in Nebraska to sit on the supreme
bench and he left a record that en-
tirely warrants his appointment at
this time by Governor Sheldon. Judge
Fawcett, too, has a record as a judge
in the district court, and as a supreme
court commissioner which thoroughly
justihes his selection. Judge Root is
o so well known generally as either
Of these, hut he has shown on the dis
trict bench and in the state senate
that he is a mar of uncommon ability
on whose legal knowledge and dis
eliminating judgment reliance may be
placed.
Judge Rose is, in a measure, well
known to the people of Nebraska, but
has yet to win his spurs as a juTist.
He has shown much capacity as an
organizer and as an attorney. His
services to the state in the railroad
cases that have been sc bitterly
fought, and especially the tax cases,
which were carried to the supreme
court of the United States and there
won for the people, have been pre-
eminent. In this way Mr.. Rose has
thoroughly established his legal acu-
men. His qualifications as a man are
we'll known and it will be readily ac-
cepted hat Governor Sheldon has
made no mistake in naming him as
one of the new members of the Ne
braska supreme court.
AS at present constituted the SUI
preme court of the state of Nebraska
should be a working body of uncom-
mon efficiency and the business that
properly comes before the tribunal
will probably be dispatched with
proper CELEBRITY, so that until Nebraska
has attained many times its present
population there should be no great
occasion for complaint as to the laws
delay, so far as the state courts are
concerned.

The Great Corn show.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
A notable event in the west will be the
national corn exposition to be held at
Omaha, Neb., December Q to 10. 1t will
be in a sense the great county fair OF the
western grain-growing states, for the term
corn as used by the National Corn asso-
citation follows the continental i~nterpre-
tation and includes all the grains, while
attention is also given to grasses. The
object of the corn association is, in general,
to improve the methods of raising grain,
in which there have recently been shown
to be large possibilities, and its purposes
therefore lie close to the foundations Of
our material prosperity. II is promised
that the exposition will provide the great
est exhibition Of grains and grasses and
kindred industries that the world has ever
seen. There is probably no essential ex-
aggeration in the statement.

INVESTIGATING BANK DEPOSITS.

iN 'LcI iuhI DANA DEEtJNiIS.
Comptroller of the Currency Muir
ray has undertaken a decidedly diff
cult and complicated task in asking
the bankers of the country to furnish
him with detailed data concerning the
character and composition of their de-
posits. He has prepared a circular let
ter in which the national bankers will
be asked to furnish the department
with information concerning the COM
position of the deposits in banks and
the extent to which these deposits
are simply sales of the banks own
credit, how far they are deposits of
checks and claims on other banks,
and how far they are deposits of funds
consisting of gold and silver currency
or other forms of current funds which
result in adding to the banks reserves
instead of being a strain upon them.
In order to get at these data the banks
will be asked to analyze their receipts
on a given day. In addition to this,
however, they will have to be asked
to supply similar information either
in a detailed or estimated form as to
the credits already existing on their
books. That is to say, they will have
to arrive at some estimate of the way
in which, or the source from which
the credits on the books originated.
more or less correct account to the
comptroller concerning the nature of
their deposits"
In this effort the comptroller ap-
parently shares the general miscon-
ception of the straight duty of COM
mercial banks, and the real meaning
of deposits. In the strictly literal
sense, and in compliance with the
banking law, a national bank becomes
possessor and owner of deposits as
soon as they are made with it. The
bank does not stand as trustee or
guardian or custodian of the money
as such, but agrees to sell its credit to
the depositor, to the amount of the
deposit. The bank is simply a dealer
In credits. 1t has for sale the credit
based on its capital stock, its holdings
in real estate and buildings, the prop
erty of the bank, and its surplus and
earnings. The depositor simply uses
the banks credit, which his deposit
gives him, in the transaction of his
own business, a credit which the bank
is bound to make good. The deposit
may be in the form of currency,
checks on other banks, drafts. or
other forms of negotiable paper, but it
does not become cash when deposited.
1t becomes simply a credit, which the
depositor may transfer or exchange
or may use to get money from the
bank when he wants IT. No bank
could remain in business If 1t were re-
quired to keep on hand the money de-
posted with 1t to meet all demands
for payment.

WHERE CORN Is KING.
Importance of the Approaching Expo
sition TT Omaha.
WashfnptOp POST

Washington Post.
Omaha Is preparing to make the National
Corn exposition an era-marking event in
the history of American agriculture. The
governors of fifteen states are Interested
in the exposition, which is being warmly
supported by agricultural societies, rail-
roads, business men. and scientists. 1t is
the result of four great movements which
have been doing incalculable good among
farmers during the last few years. These
include the seed corn special trains, the
Short course in d~airying and stock judg-
ing started by agricultural colleges, and
now adopted by every western state; the
local agricultural experiment farms, and
the system of short courses in agricul-
ture now generally held in many western
states In connection with the farmers
county institutes. 1t is logical that these
four important movements should culmi-
nate in what is practically a worlds agri-
cultural fair.
At the big corn show more than 10000
ears OF corn will compete for the gen.
erous premiums offered for the thor

While corn will be king at the Omaha
exposition it will not have the limelight
all to itself. Wheat and alfalfa and other
grains and grasses will be exhibited in
close competition and the new wheat test,
which promises to do for the bread crop
what selection has done for corn, will be
given a demonstration.
As the years pass agriculture is becoming
more and more an exact science. The
average farmer is recognizing the fact,
which he once hooted with contempt, that
the higher education means that he can
coax out OF the soil more dollars and cents
than by the old, careless, hit-or-miss
methods Of reading the signs of the moon.

PURE FOOD AND THE CHILDREN.

PURE FOOL I'M THE CHILDREN.
The annual report of the Depart
ment of Health of the city of New
York contains some very Illuminating
information concerning the manner in
which the pure food laws of the ma
ton and state are not enforced. 1t
appears that complaint was recently
made that an unusually large number
of pupils were found to have blue
mouths, both inside and out, and the
charge was made that this condition
had been caused by impure soap fur
nished by some favored contractor.
The case was fully investigated and
the chemist of the department has
formally certified hat the soap in
question did not cause blue color in
the children's mouths" Rejoicing in
this alibi for the soap, there are other
features of the report that are some
what disturbing.
Samples of meat used by the res
t~aurants which supply lunches to the
school children were examined by the
chemist, with this resultant report:
Chopped meat, one-half ounce contains
0469 grains stryehnine.
Chopped meat, one-half ounce contains
0.57s grains strychnine.
Sausage. two ounces contain O15O grain:
s~trychnine.
The chemists report is one of those
cold, formal documents that does not
go into details and It is left to the
Imagination to determine whether the
stTychnine was included in the meat
for the purpose of killing off the
children or training them to i'm.

due to the very nature OF the bank

and all officials of the Treasury de-
partment will be applauded in their
effort looking to the strict enforce
ment of the banking laws and the
adoption of regulations designed to
check and stop reckless banking, but
It is doubtful if any good results can
come from the amassing of such data

THE POTATO CROP.


The Department of Agriculture
places the potato crop of 1908 at
G74,66O,0 O0 bushels, a decrease of
100000 bushels from the production
of 1907, and the information is added
that the quality of the crop this year
is far below the average. This re-
suit is charged directly, in the opinion
of the government officials, to the
carelessness or Indifference of the
American farmers in the selection of
their seed potatoes. The crop has
been growing smaller and the quality
poorer for several years and this
country, the most productive on the
face of the globe, has been compelled
to import large quantities of potatoes
each year from Belgium and Germany.
The reports show that the yield of
season averaged only a little nor
than eighty bushels to the acre, while
the German growers are accustomed
to securing from 200 to ESQ bushels
per acre, on a soil that is not nearly
so fertile or we'll adapted to potato
culture as most of the farming sec
ton of the United States. With the
assurance of the government experts
that the yield of the potato could be
easily increased in this country to an
average of 200 bushels to the acre, II
would appear that the farmers are
overlooking a fine source of profit at
the investment of a little more care
and considerably more hard work.
