LABOR IN DEMOCRATIC STATES.
Coal Miners in Alabama Subjugated
Into Cringing Dependencies.

That there's a rift within the lutte"
Of the Gompers proposition to deliver
the labor vote Of the country to Dem.
Ocracy is becoming more apparent
While Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Gompers are
making special appeals to labor, neither
refers to the deplOrable condition of
laber in the Democratic South. Mr..
John P. White, for six years president
of the Iowa United Mine Workers. and
now one of the national officers Of the
United Mine Workers Association. who
investigated mining labor conditions in
the South. is not so reticent. In re.
cent address to Local Union No. 81 Of
Abba, Iowa. he told Of prosecutions of
labor in Alabama where a coal miners
strike was In progress. He is reported
as saying: 1.-The miners Of Alabama
have been subjugated until a majority
have become cringing dependencies. Al
most daily some Of the labOring men of
that State were mercgessly shot down
for daring to assert their rights as
American citizens. Ninety-one members
of the Mine Workers Association were
thrown into Jail without having COM

Roosevelt's inability to collect that S29,
OOO.O 900 fine against the Standard Oil.
He says that when Bryan is president
and commander of the army and navy,
the very first thing he will do, after he
gets through turning out Republican

Battle Creek. Neb., Oct. 10: Patrio-
tic citizens. mostly Bryan Democrats,
will have a liberty pole raising next
week. ''Old Glory" will be hoisted to
symbolic the escape of the farmers Of
Nebraska from the shackles of Wall
street, which will be accomplished by
the election of Bryan and Kern. Bill
Brumley. who expects to be postmaster
when Bryan gets in, will deliver an ad-
dress on this occasion, his subject being
governmental underwriting OF bank de-
posits. Bill has given this matter deep
study, notwithstanding that he is Dor
rover. and not a depositor in banks.
Tilden. Neb., Oct. 10: Our leading
hog raiser, Amos Green, figures that one
per cent of the bank deposits of Nebr
ssks will make q guaranty fund of
$l,OOO,OOO. Amos does not consider it
wise to keep SO much money locked up
in idleness. His scheme is to have the
guaranty fund loaned to farmers, partic-
ularly those who voted for Bryan in
1896, 1900 and 1908. As security, quick
realizing security should be given, like
fat cattle, dogs and bsled alfalfa, which
could be rushed to the Omaha and Souix
City markets in time of stress and money
realized thereon.
Long Pine. Neb.. Oct 10: Bill Elit
sen, our most prominent farmer. who

intend to recommend him for secretary
of agriculture in Bryan's cabinet. Bill
is splendidly qualified for this important
position, having done everything in the
farming line from feeding hogs to run

Sid retorted that if the government

PRACTICAL
DEMONSTRATION.
Actual Operation Of Postal Savings
Banks in Philippines.
Two Ysars' Experiment Indicates
the Plan u Successful.

The only postal savings bank sys-
TEN In operation under the American
nag Is that in the Philippines. where.
after two years Of experiment. the
institution has been declared a great
success. In the report Of the Philip
pine commission, just published. the
postal savings bank is discussed BRIEF
~. In part as follows:
'The postal savings bank was first
opened in Manila on Oct. l, 1906
The law provides for three classes.
with limitations as to the amounts
that can be received at any one time
in each class. Following the opening
Of the Manila Office. other postal saw
inGs bank Offices were opened in vari-
Gus cities. Of different classes. until
at the close of the year 235 had been
opened. of which 9 were first. Sc were
second and 40 were third class.
FiliDinos Adopting System.
AT first the FilipinOs did not to
any great extent avail themselves of
the opportunity Of depositing portion
Of their receipts In the postal savings
bank. anda great bulk Of the depositors
were Americans and Of other nation
alities. As the advantages of this sys-
ten have been disseminated through
means Of schools. government bureaus.
private agencies and others, the pro-
portion Of Filipinos is continually in
creasins, and gives very good promise
that the Filipinos will learn to trust
their money to tie care of the govern
n,ent. and welcome the opportunity.
1.-The accounts opened up to the
close Of the fiscal year numbered
2.676. Of which 347 were closed, Ieav-
ing 1929 still open. The deposits
reached the total sum Of 7S6. 361 .O3 Pc
sOs-an average Of 1O821 pesos. With
drawals reached the total amount Of
2SO. 1921 pesos. leaving a net deposit
Of 500. 463.31 pesos at the end of the
fiscal year-or the first nine months
Of the operation of the postal savings
bank-but by no means the first nine
months Of operation Of the average
number of Offices, the smaller. ones
having been opened from time to time
during the year. so that many had
not been opened more than q month or
two at the time these figures were
taken.
Eneouragin4 Snail Accounts.
1.-THE device Of issuing postal saw
ings bank stamps has met with some
response. The stamps are simply q
method by which small amounts can
be deposited without the expense of
issuing a book. figuring interest, and
opening an account.
ION the whole, the reception accord
ed the postal savings bank has been
gratifying. and gives good promise.
The investment of the funds is in the
hands Of a postal savings bank invest
ment board. which carries a certain
amount of the funds on deposit, and
has limited power Of investment. The
law provides that % per cent of the
money held on deposit may be loaned
on first-class real estate. under limita-
tons carefully drawn to protect the
depositOrs. and 10 per cent Oh aSricul-
tural lands under still more rigid limi
tatiOns."

WInside, Neb., Oct. 10: Our eminent
townsman, Pete Peruna, who has his eye
on a rich grass widow with money in the
bank, is fierce for Bryan's guaranty
scheme. Pete is apprehensive that his
intended wife's bank roll might be lost
before he can marry her and blow il in

Red Cloud, Neb., who is here to register
for the Rosebud drawing. addressed an
inpromptu but enthusiastic audience on
Main street last night on the coming
administration of Bryan. which he de-
clared would bring prosperity 10 both

that he not only believed in everything
Bryan had advocated. but in every the

Crawford board in 1907.
The total appropriations Of the
Crawford Legislature of l907-for
the year 1907 only amount to the
sum Of 81 ,073,l0421, as shown by
the report Of the state auditor for
1907, on page l5l.
The total equalized valuation Of
all property Of every kind in the

Besides the above deficiency, the
Crawford administration made

The Conclusive Answer.

The one complete and conclusive
answer to the libelous charges of the
insurgents against the political
integrity Of Senator Kittredge is the
fact that he enjoys the close conf
dence and friendship of both Presi
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft
who have watched his course since
he has been at Washington, appre-
ciate the motives which have actu-
ated him in all he has undertaken
and accomplished, and consequently
repose in him all of the confidence 9
accorded the few most dependable
senators to the interests OF the
administration,
In light of this fact to distrust
Kittredge is to distrust the good
sense and judgment of Roosevelt
and Taft.
Would our insurgent friends have
1t believed by the people of South
Dakota that President Roosevelt has
so little perspicuity; so little insight
into the character and motives OF
men he would choose for his coun-
selor and place his dependence upon
ia man who is in alliance with his
enemies, or whose sympathies were
entirely opposed to the policies for
which the president stands9
Would the insurgents, who have
pledged themselves to the support
OF the candidacy of Secretary Taf
have the voters believe they are Civ
ing their support to man Of s,
little good sense that he chooses al
enemy Of the people for his mex
friend and advisorf
In simple truth Senator kittredg
is the one senator from South Dakot
who has made good at Washington
The one who has risen above til
mediocre and made national repu
tation for character, strength ant
accomplishment. II is not at al
beyond the probabilities to suggest
should the people OF South Dakot
be so unmindful Of their best inter
ests as to fail to return him to tn
senate they would meet with thei
rebuke year hence when be take
his seat in the cabinet. Canto
