avoid this loss. 1t will be encouraged
to do this by the fact that it is relieved
from responsibility to its deposltors.
Bankers are human, and there are
many of them, as there are many peo-
pie in other walks of life, who, when
they are under the pressure Of immedi-
ate responsibility, are likely to live up
to it; but who are likely to take risks
that they would not otherwise take
when they feel that in doing so they
are not sacrificing interests committed
to their care.
In another way too, the plan viii be
likely to encourage bad banking; for
this same relief from responsibility will
lead weak banks to try to enlarge their
deposits The larger their deposits, of
course, the greater their profit. The
more they are relieved from the neces-
sity of caring for their deposits the
more likely will they be, as already re-
marked, to seek a larger profit, even
though at greater risk. The scheme
is likely, therefore, to promote specu-
lation and bad banking. 1t will give

LaFollelte, The Hornet.

Tuesday Senator LaFollette delivered
a speech in congress on the emergency
currency bill that has caused all citizens
of the country, high or low, to stand
up and listen. The withdrawal by Sen
ator Aldri.h, chairman of the finance
committee, of the railway bond clause
from the bill at the eleventh hour was
not only a scurvy trick but strong evil
dence of genuine backdown. The
intent was 10 cut the wind out of La
Follette's sails, but the cowardly move
proved only boomerang for Aldrich
and the system.

Failures of Presidential Favorites.

We are told that Secretary Taft will
lead on the first ballot in the Republic
an National Convention of 1908. There
is chance that he will lead. But the
man who is ahead on the first lineup,
unless in the case Of a denomination of
a president, does not always carry oif
the prize, Steward led at the outset in
the Republican Convention of 1860, but
Lincoln got the nomination. Blaine was
far ahead of any Of his rivals on several
ballots in 1876, yet it was Hayes who
won the candidacy Grant led for long
time in the convention of 1855, but it
was Garfield who was nominated, Sher-
man was so far ahead Of all the other
aspirants in 1888 for several ballots
that it looked as if he would get the
candidacy, but Harrison was the lucky
man.

What Seems Wisest and Best.

Free Press
Senator Crane of Massachusetts ad-
vises the Republicans of his state that
the next national convention will with
out doubt be the most important conven-
ton since 1864; and that the action
taken there may determine the result
of the election soon to follow.
He does not pretend to instruct the
delegates who will be sent to the CON
vention as to what they shah do when
they get there; but he says "they
should be absolutely free to do what
seems wisest and best for the party
and for the country.
Which means they should go 'un-
hampered by instructions. "
Still. if they could be instructed to do
as the senator would like to have them
do he would possibly object less strenu-
ously than he does now to their being
hampered by instructions.
The more we study this question of
the election and instruction of dele
gates to the national conventions the
more impressed are we that the only
correct system is by direct vote of the
party-by the primary election; and
for this reason, that it is the repersen-
tative government for which the rep
resentatives are chosen by the people
themselves, primarily for an understood
purpose; and they are left, when the
occasion comes, and that purpose has
been executed to do what Senator
Crane says they should do, free to do
that which seems wisest and best for
the party and the country.

Would Bad Banking Be Encouraged

The scheme would be unjust to the
stockholders of well-managed banks,
for it would cut into their profits to
protect people who do not do business
with them, to whom they are under no
obligation, and who have preferred to
trust banks Of inferior standing; for in
surance would tend either to raise the
rate of discount or lower profits, The
tax must be paid by somebody. The
banks will try to throw it upon their
