In view of the action OF the republican
state convention of Kansas in indorsing
the guaranty of bank deposits. Mr.. Bryan
announced while here that it would be
necessary for him to make some addi-
tons to the speech on guaranty of bank
deposits which he is to deliver at To.
peka tonight. Mr.. Bryan, without outlin.
ing his remarks on this subject to be de-
livered tonight, was willing to say this
in advance:
The action of the republican state
convention of Kansas is rebuke to tine
republican candidate for President who
has been assafling the guaranty of bank
deposits. Not only is he opposed to the
system as a national system. but the At.
tOINty 1cncTdl HAS IIldOS a TuIlDg winch
prevents national banks from taking ad.
vantage of state systems. I am very
glad to have the issue drawn so clearly. 4,
THE action of the republicans at the
convention in Kansas makes it impossi
BILE for. the republicans of that state te
oppose our plan, while the action of Mr.
Taft and Attorney General Bonaparte
shuts off all hope of favorable action by
the republican party. Those who favor
the guaranty of bank deposits. therefore
will find their only hope in a democratic
victory

arew the Soldiers Home authorities into

threw the Soldiers Home authorities into
panic
They applied to the War Department
to know If they would not take the leper
off their hands. The War Department
had a shrewd notion of what was going
to be the outcome Of the case, but got
busy at once. and after making INQUIRIES
of several leper colonies. they found that
O'Gorman would be admitted to the leper
colony at San Francisco, the Philippines,
Porto Rico or Louisiana. The colony at
Molokal would not accept any outsider
and neither would Honolulu.
So the War Department told the Mil
waukee home that il was all right. they
would pay for the leper and care for him
and to send him to whichever of the colo
MES he or they preferred. Then the snag
was struck. Not railroad out OF Mill
waukee would touch tine case. They
would not even ship him in box car
and then burn the car. In fact they
would not have him under any circum-
stances or al any price This was just
about what the War Department had sus-
pected and they widened their invitation.
Send along your leper." said the de-
partment. with official hospitality. we
are all ready for him..
But the Milwaukee home could not send
him. So he stayed In Milwaukee, and ne
is staying there yet. isolated, II Is true,
but comfortably provided for. and likely
to live to ripe old age. for that is very
often the case with lepers.
Has No Facilities.
AS to the facilities of the War Depart
ment for caring for Early. the officials
do not think they are very good. The
army is prepared to give special attention
and treatment to tuberculosis. rheuma-
tism or corns, for that matter. but
leprosy is not on their menu in the United
States OF course, IL the leper could be
transported to any of the army colonies
I'm the Philippines or Porto Rico he could
be we'll taken care of. but the problem Of
getting him transportation to either of
these points is just about unsolvable.
1t Is Just possible that the department
could furnish him a buggy and let him
drive himself to the nearest port of de-
parture for a transport, and once there
he could be carried on goyernment'yes

NSky Farm"

The play Sky Farm" was success
Tuesday evening in the presence of an
audience that was smaller than tine

enthusiasm and appreciation what it
lacked in numbers.
The plot is familiar to most theater
goers. Warren Breeze, son of the viii

Towers, the daughter of the villa st
pastor. The marriage is not recorded,
and only the marriage remains to safe
guard the name of the young wife.

Of Warren. plots with Warren's father
to secure possession of the paper, out
the plan fails through the intervention
of Neighbor Nixon. A codicil to the
will of Rev. Milo Powers is found by
Nixon, whose conscience and the
promptings of his sweetheart, Jonquil
Towers. force him to present the paper
to Benjamin Breeze. Under the i'm
preston that it is Il jury summons, the
latter tears it in pieces, but futile
finds the pieces and the restored docu-
ment is finally rendered Breeze, giving
him title to Sky Farm" and dspos-
sessing the minister. The stern heart
of Breeze melts, however, when his
sons child is placed in his arms by
Marigold.
