It is asserted by Chicago dispatch

has been urging the national COM

Governor Crawford spoke at the
state fair at Lincoln, Neb. and took
occasion to answer the question OF
Mr.. Bryan concerning whether the
people shall rule. He declared that
the people Of this country did rule
and that they ruled when the repub-
lican party was in power. Tho GOV
ernor asserted that while the demo-
cratic party has been talking and cri-
ticising the courts and declaiming
about states rights and the centra-
liking Of power. and discussing the
trusts. the tariff and predatory
wealth. the republican party has been
doing things in effective fashion and
settling many Of these questions one
by one. The governor made a great
hit with the Nebraskans and they
gave plenty of evidence of their APP

THE ID BANKING

": 0S0AS
gives expression to the following SEN
timent concerning Mr.. Dryan's atti-
tude on the guarantee OF bank depos-
its for national banks:
Mr.. Bryan's new scheme of wild
cat banking is receiving o practical
test at the experiment station Of Ok
lahoma. Like his plan Of 1856 for
letting the whole country pay every
dollar Of its debts by handing out
SO cents worth Of silver, his device
to secure the deposits In all the banks
by making each of them pay a GER
tain amount into a guarantee fund
has a certain attraction for uper-
fetal persons like its author. Bryan
thinks SO much of it that he is keep
Ing a close watch on its operation
in Oklahoma and is also giving it a
prominent place in his campaign
talks.
when some of the national banks
in Oklahoma announced their inten-
ton of embracing this Bryanite de
post guarantee idea the comptroller
of the currency promptly told them
that they could not do this and still
retain their national charters. A
few of them, Drawing the ridicule
! which the country is heaping upon
them, actually did surrender their
charters and are now state institu-
lions. As some of these banks have
men of experience at the head OF
them, the country will learn 500
whether there is any value in this
modified form Of wildcatism. As
the average sensible layman can see,
the effect Of this pooling Of issues
between the prudent and the impru.
dent. the honest and the dishonest
bankers. will be to penalize the pru-
dent and the honest bankers for the
benefit Of those of the opposite
order. Under the Bryan plan such
spectators and g%rafters as get into
the banking business would have q
free hand, for when the smashur
came the honest and cautious banke,
would be compelled to brace them UT
and pay for their plunging and steal.
ing.
! But aside from this fatal weak.
ness in Organized banking some OF
the Oklahoma bankers have found
another defect. That is that in panic
times they could not get at the guar.
antee fund quick enough to be OF
any help to them. Oklahoma's state
treasurer is investing this fund in
state warrants and. as in cas- Of a
scare, the state would be unable tc
realize upon these assets quickly, the
banks would be powerless to NEE
their obligations and therefore would
be compelled to close their doors. II
it could be put into practice on 9
large scale it would probably be
found that the Organized wildcat
banking of 1908 would be Just as
disastrous as was the democratic
wildcat banking of Van Buren's
Folks and Buchanan's days"

MAKING BID FOR LABOR.

Nj AftlNG IlD FUN LtAltOlk,
The democratic party is making a
great bid for the labor vote of this
country and keeps continually telling
what 1t will do for the laboring man
should it by any accident get into
power. The leaders of the democrats
neglect to put M emphasis on what
the republican party has done for the
laboring man. Charles M. Harvey,
has a timely article in Leslie's Week
ly touching on some of the many
things the republican party has done
for labor, and they are enumerated
In an excerpt from it:
beginning with the republican
state of Massachusetts, in 1869, la
Dor bureaus have been established
in thirty-three states, twenty-five of
which are republican states. Laws
creating factory inspection, free en-
ployment bureaus, and boards of con-
Citation and arbitration, and estab-
fishing an eight-hour day for employ
ment on public works have been en-
acted in three or four times as many
republican as democratic states. The
same is true of the laws prohibiting
the employment of children under
IA or Is years of age, regulating
the hours of labor for women. and
requiring wages to be paid weekly,
fortnightly. or monthly. Laws pro-
tecting the members of labor organ
izations and recognizing the union
label on goods have been put on the
statute books of several times as
many republican states as democra-
tic.
"a national bureau of labor was
created In 1884, by a bill signed by
President Arthur, and was attached
to the department Of Interior at
Washington, with Carol d. Wright
- its hrst head. It was changed into
the Department Of Labor in 1888.
The National Department of Com
merce and Labor a created in 1903
by an act signed by President Roose-
welt. the head Of which is a member
Of the cabinet. The bureau Of labor
Of 1885 came In response to q peti-
ton Of the knights Of Labor. The
Department Of Commerce and Labor
was urged by labor unions and cham
bers Of commerce all over the coun-
try. In the republican platform Of
1905 the creation of a national bu-
reau Of mines and mining is urged.
THE Roosevelt administration saw
the enactment Of an employers liabil-
ity law for the protection Of working
men. the passage and enforcement Of
safety-appliance statutes by which
engineers, firemen and other rail-
way workers are protected; the re-
duction of the hours of labor of train
men and telegraphers engaged in
interstate commerce, and as many
successful instances of governmental
mediation and arbitration in disputes
between railways and their employs.
In which the latter were materially
benefited. And much additional
work along the lines. in aid of the
wage earners of the country, is on
the program Of the republican party.

ASSASSIN FIRES ON CLAYTON WHILE GOING ID HIS WORK White Man Falls Badly Wounded By Two Bullets
 Near Sayreton
OFFICERS so FAR UNABLE
 TO LOCATE GUILTY ONE
Governor Conner Makes an Automobile Trip To a Number of Military Camps and Seems Pleased
 With the Conditions.

Crouched behind rocks and bushes would-be murderers law in wait yes terday morning and when William Clayton of Sayreton started walking across the country toward the Lewis burg mines they fired at him from their ambush. Shotguns were used but luck favored Clayton and he received only part of one load two buckshot taking effect in his chest
 His injuries were so serious, how ever, that he fell to the ground and was unable to arise until assistance reached him. Deputy sheriffs near the scene heard the shooting and rushed to where Clayton was lying on the ground. A hurried search was made for the assassins, but they had all ready made their escape.
 Places where they had lain, however, were discernible and it appeared as though several had taken part in the affair. The sheriff's office was com municated with immediately and blood hounds sent to the scene, arriving there in less than two hours after the shoot ing.
 It was very evident that the parties had used something to kill the scent for it was with difficulty that the dogs took it. The ground was also very damp. It was finally taken, but the dogs ran it like it was cold trail. After following through the bushes for some little distance a small opening was reached and then the trail stopped The reason for it's ending was plainly apparent though, there being a number of fresh horseshoe prints in the ground. Officers continued working on the case all day but have made no discoveries so far.
 Clayton is a non union miner and was on his way to work at the time he was shot. He has father and brother who are special deputy sheriffs.
 No other disorder was reported through the district yesterday. Anoth :. CT lot of imported men was placed at No. 1 mines. These men were not es- corted by soldiers. the flying squadron of deputies acting as guards. Governor Conner, accompanied Lieut.. Col. Hubbard on a tour of inspection yesterday a number of the military camps being visited. The two Pratt City camps, Republic, Adamsville and Blossburg were inspected and the gov ernor was evidently much pleased at the way in which he found things.
 While he made no speeches the auto mobile was stopped at number of places along the route while the gov ernor chatted with various persons.
 Hikes" were made by number of the different military squads, but be- yond this there was little for them to do. There were no riotous crowds to disperse and no imported men to es- cort. At Camp Eva Conner in Norwood the men were busy cleaning their uni forms and guns from the dust they had accumulated on their Sunday morn- ing hike to Wylam.

SEES DANGER IN
 SUBWAY ROUTE
MAYOR WILL POST PLACARDS WARNING CHILDREN AND OTH- FRS NOT TO CROSS THE DRIVE WAY USED BY AUTOMOBILES.

As a precautionary step to avoid acci dents which may occur at any moment during the day, Mayor Ward is having printed a number of placards which will be posted in and at the entrance of the subway at the Terminal station, warning persons not to cross the driveway in the subway.
 Every afternoon, especially on Sunday, it seems that large number of children gather at the entrance of the subway to watch the automobiles go through Little groups of children also make their play houses down in the subway. A number of accidents have been narrowly averted, hence the Mayors action.
 Mayord Ward addressed a letter to Act ing Chief of Police Martin Eagan yester- day, asking him to have officers look aft CT this matter while the placards are being printed.

FRIENDLY TIP Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of indigestion and its attendant evil influence on the mind 1t is not very surprising that one finally loses faith in things generally.
 A. N. I. woman writes an interesting letter She says:
 Three years ago I suffered from an attack of peritonitis which left mo in a most miserable condition. For over two years I suffered from nervousness, weak heart, shortness of breath, could not sleep, etc.
 My appetite was ravenous, but I felt starved all the time. I had plenty of food. but it did not nourish me because of intestinal indigestion Medical treat ment did not seem to help. I got dis couraged, stopped medicine and did not care much whether I lived or died.
 "One day a friend asked me why I didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking cof- fee and use Postum. had lost faith in everything, but to please my friends be- gan to use both and soon became very fond of them.
 ''It wasn't long before I got some strength, felt a decided change in my system. hope sprang up in my heart and wly but surely I got better I could sleep very well, the constant craving for food ceased. and I have better health now than before the attack of periton- itis.
 My husband and I are still using Grape-Nuts and Postum." There's a Reason.'
