An Event In Sunday Journalism.

The people of the middle West are
rapidly discovering that the Sunday
Magazine of The Chicago Record-Herald
is not only a real magazine but also
one of the greatest in this age of maya
zines. It's recent display of enterprise
in paying $25, 1000 for the exclusive serial
rights of Conan Doyle's new romance,
"Sir Nigel compelled even the editors
of the famous monthlies to acknowledge
the presence of new and powerful
rival,
When this was followed by Anthony
Hopes new Zenda romance, "Sophy of
Kravonia,' the reading world needed no
further proof that the Sunday Magazine
of The Record Herald was able to cap
ture the finest and most costly new
fiction offered in England and America.
It's illustrations and cover designs in
color have from the beginning been of
unsurpassed beauty and artistic grace.
Its short stories, descriptive articles,
humor, poetry and sketches Of all kinds
are the choicest that the literary mar
ket offords, many of them being writ
ten by the most popular authors and
magazine contributors in the United
States. In short, it is an entertaining,
high class magazine that will bear COM
parison with the best independent
weeklies or monthlies, whatever the
price.
There is nothing else like it in Ameri-
| can journalism.

DEMOCRACY MUCH STRONGER.

The Indianapolis News, republican,
has the following significant editorial
The democratic party is today in a
healthier condition than since 1892. 1t
will have support in all sections of the
country and from many men that gave
it practically no support either in 1896
or 1900. This result is due entirely to
the more conciliatory temper of Mr..
Bryan, and to his great ability as po-
litical manager-a newly developed
quality in him.
There can be no doubt that the ticket
will make strong appeal to the masses.
And so will the platform. No one can
talk even casually with his neighbors
without being impressed with the fact.
1t is known that many men who have
not voted the democratic ticket since
1892 are going to do so this year. 1t has
been the fashion to say that the gold
democrats were simply republicans in
disguise-and this has been the view of
Mr.. Bryan-but it is a great mistake.
Most Of them have maintained an entire
detachment. Most of them, too, have
grown weary of voting with the repub-
licans and have longed for chance to
return to their old allegiance. Others
have felt that the only way to strength
en- the democratic party and to make it
fit to govern the country was to trust
it and to give it chance to learn by
experience. These have argued that to
exclude it permanently from power
would be to weaken it so as to make it
forever unfit for administrative func-
tions. Finally there are others who have
begun to suspect that they are more
critical Of their own party than of the
opposition and to feel that when there
is nothing to choose between the two
parties it is wiser to give their own
party the preference.
All these motives are operating and
they will have their effect. 1t is hard
to see how any man that is demo-
crat should, as properly practical
| man, prefer the Chicago to the Denver
ticket.
The country, in our opinion. may we'll
rejoice at the growing strength Of the
democratic party. For years the people
have suffered from the lack of an effec-
tive opposition. II there had been one
the republican party would have been
saved from many mistakes, and the
country would have profited in many
ways. We think, therefore, that the
convention served, not only the great
party which it represented, but the
whole country. All this is quite with
out reference to what the result of the
campaign may be, as to which it would
be foolish to make any prediction at the
present time. We firmly believe that
though the democratic party may be
defeated in November, it will not be
overwhelmed, as it has been of recent
wears. and that. whatever the result it
| will come out of the campaign stronger
than it has been at any time since 1892
1t was great convention and the in
fluence will be felt for many years. We
believe, too, that the influence will be
good both for the party and for the
nation.

From all sections of Indiana come
good reports. The Louisville Courier
Journal prints dispatch from Shelby
vile, Ind, as follows: John j. Win
gate, the veteran editor of the Shelby
vile Daily News, one of the best known
and most influential newspaper men in
the state, is firm in his belief that Taft
will not carry Indiana and that Tom
Marshall will be elected governor. He
has voted for every republican nominee
for president from Lincoln down to
Roosevelt. Republican prospects for
success in Indiana look gloomy re-
marked Mr.. Wingate today. To my
mind, the political battle in Indiana has
yet to be won, with the chances most
favorable to the democracy. They
have no entangling alliances. Harmony
exists in every congressional district
Bryan and Kern are immensely popular
with Indiana democrats. They will
poll more votes than any other demo
cratic ticket that could have beer
nominated. But how is it with the re-
cago seems to have taken all Of the
enthusiasm out of the state organiza
tion. The Indiana republicans received
a slap in the face at Chicago which
crushed their pride and cut theil
. feathers in an alarming manner. They
are certainly without hope, at least TO,
this campaign. They have been giver
notice that they are not wanted, anG
have been ordered to the rear to re
pent in sackcloth and ashes for having
the audacity no oppose Mr.. ROOSEVELT
pet candidate for the presidency
Then they have other troubles to grievt
over and discourage them, among then
a weak state ticket, with the candidat,
for governor in bad repute with tn,
labor organizations, the old soldier
and the temperance people. The cam
paign opens with the republicans OF
the defensive, and it is bound to con
tinue along that line until election
day."

full examinations are made annually.
We have 497 State banks, all under
the law; fifty-four national ranks are
also under the law. The law went into
effect February 18th. The May 18th
statement shows that in the last two
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-08-13

examination periods the secured banks
increased deposits about four and a
quarter million dollars. The non-se-
cured national banks, two hundred and
twenty-five, lost in deposits during the
same period, S1,100,000. State money
withdrawn amounted to $7,700,000.
The increase in individual deposits, all
to credit OF the secured banks, was
S300,S00,000. This increase in individ-
ual deposits, was, to some extent, from
other states, but mostly out of stock
ings.
The effect of Bonaparte's decision
will be to continue to increase deposits
in secured banks and decrease those in
unsecured banks.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-08-13

The Oklahoma law guaranteeing bank
deposits applies of course, only to state
banks, but it gave the national bank
that desired to do so. the right to make
the necessary deposit with the state
and become guaranteed banks. Attor-
ney General Bonaparte holds that the
national banks cannot do this, with the
passage of the national law. Gov. Has

parties decision does not interest us.
If it did we would seriously question it's
correctness. He refused an opinion
last January, but possibly the cam
paign issues make change of mind
necessary.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-08-13

Judging from numerous statements
heretofore made, believe that many
of our national banks will take out
State charters. The present antigua
ted national banking law inspires no
confidence in our people, and the small
er national banks fully realize that the
national banking law operates to the
benefit of the large banks only. Our
depositors remember the story of the
Walsh band of Chicago and numerous
similar national bank losses and con-
slider that banking is semi-public
business, where depositors have rights
as we'll as stockholders.

Tobacco Grower Found Dead

Newton Haziett, a tobacco grower,
was found dead with two bullets in his
body at Jacksonville, a small village in
the extreme northeastern part of
Shelby county, Friday morning.
1t is said that Hazlett was not a
member of the tobacco pool, and be-
longed to the crowd that was opposed
to cutting out this years crop. The
Hazletts number large family con-
nection in that section of the county.
Hazlett's body was found near the
home OF Walker Duncan, former con-
stable. A pistol was found in the road
beside the body. 1t is believed that
he was met on the road by band of
night riders during the night and shot
down after he had refused TO accede to
the demands of the band not to grow a
crop of tobacco. Hazlett was known
as a fearless man, and made no effort
to conceal the fact that he was not in
sympathy with the night rider move
ment.
