BANKERS AND POSTAL BANKS.
S~eIf-InteFeat in a Confess with the
Pablo Good,
ThicaRo Nawa
Chicago News.

Chicago News.
Among the speakers on another topic at
the Denver convention of bankers was b..
e. Walker, president of the. Canadian Bank
of Commerce., the headquarters of which
are in Toronto. 1t is unfortunate that the
conveniyn did not secure the views OF
MI walke on the subject of postal banks,
and also his experience with them. He Is
a conservative banker with the interests
OF the banking world at heart. Had he
been questioned on the subject he would
have told the assembled bankers tina they
ought to welcome postal banks as an aid
to their business.
In a newspaper interview a few years
ago Mr.. Walker declared that postal banks
absolutely were beneficial to other banks
by promoting the banking habit among the
people and by taking care OF a class OF
business that was more trouble to the
banks than 1t was worth. He cited an
Instance in Detroit where the failur Of a
bank had been caused by a run which
started because a crowd had collected
about its doors as the result Of the in
ability OF a on-English-speRking foreigner
to understand that he could not draw his
money without his book. That class OF
business, Mr.. Walker said, the government
should take care OF.
Postal banks are not an experiment In
any sense OF the word. They are in opera
ton in the principal civilized countries
Of the world. Why should American bank
ers fight them blindly when the bankers
In countries where the system is in use
for the most part would advise a friendly

SENATOR CORES VERSATILITY

Since the retirement of Governor

hurry call for Senator owen OF Okla
homa to get home and defend himself
against certain legal charges in con-
nection with Oil land deals, the burden
of the democratic defense, so far as
Oklahoma is concerned has fallen upon
Senator Gore. The blind senator, how
ever, is feeling the pressure and is
cancelling many of his speaking dates.
Senator Gore does not like his new job
very much. He has been a persistent
opponent of Mr.. Bryan for twelve
years and he soon wearies in his eff
forts to be as active as the Nebraska
leader in changing views to meet pub
lie sentiment. In a speech delivered at
Dallas, Tex, in 1895, Senator Gore

ON Reckless Banking.
Boston Transcript.

Boston ITan5Of1pL.
Tie suggestion comes from Nebraska that
the state Bankers association. which is op-
posing the Bryan bank deposit plan, should
enact rules providing for more frequent
bank examinations. and for Withholding
membership from all improperly conducted
institutions. There are legitimate methods
for securing safety by self-help without
the evil of government guaranty, with It's
inevitable premium on reckless banking.

Bryan, the Restorer.

SAahNoeO AADhhiNt NSPsJs
Mr.. Bryan is telling the Iowa farmers
that "the democratic party is absolutely
necessary to restore prosperity" That
amounts to saying in an impersonal way
that he, II elected, will deluge the country
with prosperity. Once 1t was Dowie who
called himself the restorer. Mr.. Bryan
comes forward as his heir.
The Iowa farmers are in such a prosper
Gus condition that they do not see what
need they have OF Mr.. Bryan's services as
a prosperity renovator. Indeed, tey have
bettered themselves in eve=T way since he
first went among them asking for votes
which they refused to give. The betterment
has come about as the result Of the refusal
In 1896 they had mortgages and low prices
for their products. Now they nave bank
accounts, automobiles, and good prices.
The persistent refusal to harken to Mr..
Bryan has been a good thing for them.

SURE SION oF PROSPERITY.

When all other signs fail, the flota-
tion of mining stock is the infallible
indication of the permanent return Of
prosperous conditions. The publicity
campaign in behalf of the Nevada and
Arizona lead, gold, silver and copper
fall has been resumed, a cinching evil
dence that the people are jingling
money In their pockets again. The
latest proof of this return to normal
conditions is furnished by Julian Haw-
thorne, a writer more or less known
to fame. Julian has sent out a really
handsome prospectus in which he
shows how foolish 1t is for folks to
work for a living when they may buy
mining stock by the bale and wait for
results.
Nh. Hawthorne is very frank about
his proposition. He has not found a
mine hidden away up in some inacces-
cable canyon, not by a long shot. He
has found a silver farm of 8S4 acres,
some place up in Canada, and is pro-
posing to let some of his friends in on
the ground floor. To this end he has
set aside 100000 shares, which he is
willing to dispose of at 80 cents a
share. However, the Engineering and
Mining Journal is not satisfied and
comments on Hawthorne's venture as
follows:
The prospectus Is not accompanied by the
report of any engineer or mining geologist
Nor is there any evidence hat the pro.
motors of the company have ever secured
professional advice.
This enterprise is a good example of ar
amateur venture in mining. 1t is too bad
to see Mr.. Hawthorne lending his name
nay, giving his name and prostituting his
pen, to induce friends, acquaintance ant
those who know him by name to put theil
money into a mining property about which
nothing of consequence can be said in ar
eight-page prospectus.
The mining paper is getting too fin.
nicky altogether. AS a writer of fic.
ton, Mr.. Hawthorne will scorn to be
confined by figures and the reports o.
experts. He has a silver farm and he
has 100000 shares for sale at 80 cents
a share. He knows that prosperity has
returned.

PRESIDENTIAL INTEREST.
Activities of Former Presidents I'm

Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Bryan is greatly exercised over the
activity of President Roosevelt In behalf
of MIR. Taft. He thinks that the presi-
dency should not be used as a party asset.
He declares that the people should have
the right to elect their officials without
dictation from Washington. In other word,
Let the people rule"
The solicitous sage from Lincoln should
take an afternoon off and read some chap
ters Of the democratic history. He might
begin with a certain Thomas jefferson,
a name perennially on Mr.. Bryan's lips
and quoted in the campaign text book OF
his party. He might find out that, that
statesman of the olden days not only die
tated his successor, but his successors
successor, and by a nice. little gentlemen's
| agreement brought about that the pres
idency was kept in the hands of the three
Virginia ~neighbors for twenty-four years
In a stretch.
II there is time for further inquiry he
might find some interesting facts about
Andrew Jackson, who put aside the lead
ing candidate for succession because of a
personal feud, dictated the nomination and
elected the man OF his own choice, and so
dominated the politIcies of his admins
tration that historians with one accord
have called the period OF twelve years of
Jackson and Van Buren,, 'the Jacksonian
era"
A good deal of buncombe seems to be a
necessary feature of every presidential
campaign. From the point of view of
democratic party history none is more inane
than the expressions of anxiety about I'M
due influence of the president In nomina-
tions and elections.
The power that Mr.. Roosevelt Yields is
not the tower of the office holding re-
tainers. 1t is the personal prestige of one
Of the most striking and one of the most
deservedly popular personalities in the
whole history Of American politics. II is

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

1t is related that a Nebraska farmer
who complained that a reaper cost so more
than in 1885 was reminded by the store
keeper tina he paid for the old reaper with
900 bushels OF corn az 10 cents 6 bushel.
The merchant said; IF you will teins me
600 bushels OF corn now / will give you a
reaper, a surrey for your wife ana $50 in

'Nof more than SO per cent of the total
amount of any product consumed in the
United States has attracted a great deal
Of attention, both as a practical question
affecting industrial possibilities and as an
indication OF Mr.. Bryan's qualities as a
statesman. II is interesting to note that
as set forth In the local columns of the
Sun a few days ago-our own city furnishes
a striking example of the untoward work
ings that a law of this particular kind is
calculated to produce. The Consolidated
Cotton Duel company, a large part of
whose plant is situated at Woodbury.,
manufactures about 80 per cent Of the
total amount Of cotton duck consumed
in the United States; and, in order
to conform to the proposed prohibition.
1t would accordingly nave to shut down
fully one-third of its operating plant.
II the extent of this ~company's bust
ness is due to evil practices-practices of
an unfair, oppressive or predatory nature
there would be good ground for stamping
upon It with the heavy foot OF the law,
even though this might involve unmerited
hardship to its employees; but to cut off
one-third OF its life with the executioner's
ak for no other reason than it's size does
not seem a very well conceived measure of
remedial Justice. And long before there
was any prospect of the actual enactment
of the law favored by Mr.. Bryan's plat
form, hundreds of cases Of like nature, and
of much smaller as we'll as OF equal or
greater magnitude, would be shown to exist
In all parts of the country.
