The most important part of the
state ticket this fall will be the nom
inees for places on the Supreme
Court bench. No less than clear
majority of the court is to be chosen
and for terms running all the way
up to ten years. So far as the
court may be said to have politi-
cal complexion, therefore, that will
be determined for years to come by
the election this fall.
The vital importance of having
the right kind of judges can be seen
by glance at the history of this
state for the past half-dozen years.
The court stood behind the govern
or four years ago when such stand
was the only way to rid the state of
band of thugs then in control of
the Western Federation of Miners.
Again, the court took a hand in the
Denver election with the excellent
results of a republican Legislature
elected which enacted a decent pri-
mary law and of the ghost vote be-
coming the lost legion, lost, it is
hoped by all honest voters, forever.
Now you see why it pays to be care
full whom you put on the Supreme
bench.

JAMES S. SHERMAN

That bank guaranty plank in the
Democratic platform is becoming
more prominent. Mr.. Bryan seems
to like it better the more he thinks
of it, and Mr.. Taft sees more and
more mischief in it. In his speech
of acceptance he said it was de-
vice to make honest and prudent
bankers pay the losses of those who
were either dishonest or imprudent;
and he h-s not changed his opinion
nor has Re reason to. 1t does not
take financial expert to see that
if all deposits are guaranteed by a
sort of insurance fund, arbitrarily
levied by law upon the banks, the
natural effect of competition among
tire banks will be to raise the rate
of interest promised. to encourage
speculation on the part of bank of
ficers, and investment of funds in
enterprises which pay a high per
cent because comparatively unsafe.
In fact. the whole tendency would
be toward speculation, and no one
knows what that means. 1t is very
apt TO mean frequent and severe
financial panics.
Postmaster General Meyer has
pointed out in recent speech that
the amount ofthe insurance or guar
antee fund in case such law went
into effect would have to be very
much larger than is calculated at
present, because at present invest
ments are made conservatively: but
after this law had been in operation
some time, and Investments had
been changed to securities repre-
senting higher rate of interest on
account of greater risk. the proban-
ility Of failure would be so much
greater that the guarantee fund
would have to be considerably larg-
err than is indicated by the present
ratio of failures 10 deposits.
If it is alleged that this plan has

remember it has been in operation
